Wang Shaoxiang asked: "Fei'er, how long do you plan to come back and stay?"
Zhang Shaofei: "Since it's not easy to go back to my hometown, I plan to heal you before leaving."
"Okay!" Being able to get along with her son day and night is a mother's wish. Just after Wang Shaoxiang said "ok", she suddenly thought of something, waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, no!"
Zhang Shaofei was stunned: "Why not?"
Wang Shaoxiang pointed outside, a look of worry on his wrinkled face: "Guan Zhenjiang is a ruthless person. If he knew you were coming back, he would never let you go easily."
Zhang Shaofei knew it well: "I also know that he sent killers to wait here, so I hid in the dense forest of Taishan during the day and only came to the village to visit you at night when it was quieter."
Wang Shaoxiang still shook his head: "This is still not possible. During these days, in addition to entering Taizhen Village and checking our homes every day, the killers also went to Taishan Mountain to search from time to time. If you hide there, It’s just too dangerous.”
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Dong, dong, dong" knocking on the door was particularly loud late at night.
Both Wang Shaoxiang and Zhang Shaofei had a premonition that something was not going well.
Wang Shaoxiang nervously gestured to Zhang Shaofei to hide in the kitchen, and then shouted toward the door: "Who?"
The answer outside the door was breathless: "I...I am Agui, hurry...open the door..."
Agui is Wang Shaoxiang's cousin. After hearing the sound, Zhang Shaofei hurriedly came out of the kitchen and opened the door.
Agui was swept in like a gust of wind, panting, and said: "Afei, you... you run away..."
It turns out that Agui is a clerk at the Yuelai Hotel in Taichengwei Town. Just now, a night watchman ran back and reported to the people staying in the hotel that at midnight, Wang Shaoxiang's house in Taizhen Village had lights, but the doors and windows were closed. , no one could be seen inside, only the voices of men and women were heard. Wang Shaoxiang was a widow, so he concluded that Zhang Shaofei had entered the village. However, he was alone and did not dare to take action rashly, so he rushed back to the station overnight. After hearing the news, the man quickly woke up everyone who came with him. Agui was working the night shift in the hotel at the time. After learning about it, he took advantage of the opportunity while they were getting ready to go, and ran desperately to report the news.
Zhang Shaofei said anxiously: "What should I do?"
After Wang Shaoxiang was panicked, he pointed out the window: "Fei'er, I have seen you tonight, and my heart is satisfied. Now leave quickly and run as far away as possible to hide. The further away the better."
"No!" Zhang Shaofei waved his hand and said, "Mother, you have such a strange and complicated disease, how can I bear to leave you like this!"
Wang Shaoxiang said resolutely: "A needle cannot be sharp at both ends. Mother is getting old, and she will soon smell the fragrance of yellow mud. As long as you are safe and sound, you will make progress in the future. I can bear all the pain and itching, so you'd better leave quickly."
"No!" Zhang Shaofei was still so stubborn.
Mother and son reunited for the first time after separation and reached an impasse. The room was quiet except for the "sizzling" sound of the burning oil lamp.
Agui urged anxiously: "Afei, run away quickly! If it's too late, disaster will come."
Zhang Shaofei's eyes were fixed, and he recalled that before leaving Taizhen, he had been to Yunwu Mountain many times to collect firewood and collect mountain herbs, and he slapped his thigh: "There is a way."
Wang Shaoxiang looked at Zhang Shaofei, with a few lights flashing in his dark yellow pupils: "Fei'er, is there any good idea?"
"Mother, I will go to Yunwu Mountain with you." Zhang Shaofei pointed to the southeast. "Yunwu Mountain has many kinds of herbs. If we go there, I can take refuge and treat your skin diseases."
"Fei'er, although your idea is good, my sprained foot doesn't live up to expectations." Wang Shaoxiang beat his left foot helplessly.
Zhang Shaofei pointed to the crutches on the ground: "Don't you have crutches?"
Wang Shaoxiang waved his hands: "I feel severe pain in my ankle even when I walk with a cane. Yunwu Mountain is dozens of miles away from our Taizhen Village, and I have to climb the high Fengmen Col. How should I walk?"
Zhang Shaofei patted his chest: "Mother, there is nothing difficult in this world. You can go there without crutches."
Wang Shaoxiang was puzzled: "You don't even need crutches? Do we have wings that can fly?"
Zhang Shaofei raised his right hand, patted his left shoulder, and said loudly: "I don't have wings, but I have shoulders!"
"Shoulders?" Wang Shaoxiang still didn't understand what Zhang Shaofei said, "Fei'er, what's the use of shoulders?"
Zhang Shaofei stood up, put his hands behind his back, lifted himself up, took two steps forward, and made a walking gesture like carrying someone on his back: "Mother, I will carry you on my back to Yunwu Mountain!"
"Ah! Are you carrying me up to Yunwu Mountain?!" Zhang Shaofei's decision was so unexpected that Wang Shaoxiang looked embarrassed, "This... you are carrying me on your back, over mountains and ridges, across brooks and streams, for most of the day, it's so hard. It’s so tiring!”
"What's so terrible about suffering and tiredness? My father left us when I was a teenager. I grew up suffering."
Wang Shaoxiang said affectionately: "Fei'er, I know you grew up soaking in bitter water."
Zhang Shaofei said: "Mom, when I was a child, you carried me everywhere. Now that I have grown up, it is only natural for me to carry you up the mountain!"
Wang Shaoxiang felt hot in her heart, and tears came out of her eyes, saying: "Fei'er, carry me up to Yunwu Mountain, it's so hard on you. For my mother, I can't bear it!"
Zhang Shaofei deliberately made a face: "Hey, mother, we, mother and son, are heart-to-heart blood relatives. What kind words can you say?"
A child knows his mother's heart. Wang Shaoxiang also deliberately had a sullen face: "You, now that your wing feathers are plump, you have to teach your mother a lesson."
The mother and son, who were in trouble, confided in their hearts and couldn't help but laugh.
Agui urged anxiously: "Those killers are coming here to kill me. It's time for me to go back. You guys should run away." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the door and disappeared into the darkness.
The crisis was imminent, and Wang Shaoxiang immediately packed his simple luggage.
Zhang Shaofei started to repackage the baggage he had brought.
The weather in the north is like a child's face, it changes at will.
A flash of blue lightning suddenly shot up outside the window, piercing the dark night sky. It passed in an instant. Then, thunder exploded, rolling across the sky like thousands of chariots, and heavy rain fell from the sky, making the roof "pop, pop". .
Wang Shaoxiang frowned: "Fei'er, it's raining heavily."
Zhang Shaofei happily said: "It's windy and rainy, God helps me."
Wang Shaoxiang asked unclearly: "Why?"
Zhang Shaofei said: "The wind and rain swept across and wiped away all the footprints on our road. Even if the killers come to search, they can't find any trace of us."
"Okay." Wang Shaoxiang pointed to the wall, "Fei'er, there's a big coat over there."
Zhang Shaofei stepped forward, grabbed the big clothes, and then picked up the large pointed bamboo hat hanging next to it, "Let's go!"
The sky outside was pitch black, the mountain wind was howling, and horizontal rain arrows hit the ground with a "pop, pop" sound.
The distant mountains and surrounding fields were submerged in the vast darkness. The chirping of insects and frogs and drums were drowned out by the noise of wind and rain.
