The Urban Legends of Monsters Chapter 3: The journey of a story is difficult (1)

The road is difficult

That year can be said to be a year of catastrophe. The plague in the spring took away half of the village’s population. In the summer, I finally saw some hope for the crops that were about to mature in the field, but encountered a rare disaster for more than ten years. The locusts, the overwhelming locusts, pressed from the air into the fields where they could be harvested, and devoured all the plants as a delicacy, until the terrible tawny color that covered the sky and the earth faded. , leaving people with bare fields, and even the trees at the top of the village have not left a green leaf.

Although 80% of the relief from the imperial court fell into the hands of the officials who were exploited at various levels, the people with a little savings took out their own family assets, and together with the meager food, they were barely able to survive this disaster. year. But some people who are already poor have no way of making a living, and can only suffer through time, looking forward to the early arrival of spring. Many people drag their families to go out begging, sell their children and sell their daughters, just to survive this terrible age.

There is such a family in Zhangjia Village.

During the plague, first two old people could not hold on to their lives, and then the middle-aged couple died of illness one after another, leaving only a pair of little brothers, the elder brother was only twelve years old, and the younger brother just turned seven years old. There is no adult in the family, and the originally precious family was looted by the ill-intentioned distant relatives and neighbors in just a few months, and only a few acres of thin land were left to live on. However, a locust plague destroyed it again. their last hope.

Brother Big Dog fought with locusts for three days in the field, waving shovels, brooms, branches, and still did not get any harvest. Brother, and the village and several other people embarked on the road of begging.

“Brother, I’m very hungry and cold.” Zhang Ergou whispered to his brother, fighting with his teeth “giggle”. When he was young, he still couldn’t understand why his life changed completely overnight, but he knew that his parents and grandma would never come back to him, and the only person he could rely on was his eldest brother. So I think my brother has repeatedly described his cold and hunger, looking forward to his help.

The big dog pulled the collar of his younger brother, regretting in his heart that he should not have pawned some of his father’s remaining clothes, otherwise he would be able to protect his younger brother from the cold. “Come on, let’s run quickly. When we get back to our residence, we can cook the fire and eat.” After he touched the half piece of wotou in his arms, this was all they had gained during the whole day, and it was obviously not enough to fill the stomachs of the brothers. .

Although this small town has been far from their hometown, it has also been affected by the disaster. The bad years have made the people here become stingy, and most of them are unwilling to help the outside beggars. The Zhang brothers still took advantage of them because they were young, so they were able to drag it on until today. At that time, most of the people who came out with them had left here and went to a farther area, hoping that the years there would be good, and the people would be rich enough to show mercy to these fugitives.

Zhang Dagou also had a similar plan, but he didn’t know whether he and his younger brother would be able to support himself and his brother to walk so far in such a cold weather and the road was blocked by heavy snow. It can last a moment, every time my thoughts touch this issue, Zhang Dagou will sigh and think so at the end.

The more we walked to the suburbs, the thicker the snow was because no one was cleaning it. The two brothers had a hard time walking with one foot deep and the other shallow. After walking for more than half an hour, they saw the place where they lived from a distance. A ruined temple. There were vague figures in front of the temple watching, as if they saw them, and waved to them.

“Second dog, the third uncle has come back. Maybe he got a little more things today.” Zhang Dagou said excitedly, pulling his brother to speed up his pace.

The third uncle is the only adult who is still with them after they left their hometown. He has always taken care of them and taught the little brothers a lot of knowledge about survival, which was originally in the village. The reputation is not very good, and he has a small problem of stealing chickens and dogs, but he has been taking care of his brothers who have no relatives and no reason (several adults who are related to the Zhang brothers have long since left them), which makes Zhang Da The dog seems to know more about the coldness of the world.

“It’s too cold, come in and make a fire.” The third uncle greeted them at the entrance of the temple and led them into the temple, “It’s really hard for you two children.”

A fire had already been lit in the sheltered corner of the temple, and there was a pot on the fire. The water in it was running gurglingly. I don’t know what was cooking, and a smell came out.

“The third uncle got something delicious!” The second dog cheered and jumped towards the pot, the big dog quickly grabbed him, swallowed at the pot himself, but took out the nest from his arms and said, “Third uncle, We only need to get these.” What he meant was that his two brothers didn’t get any food, and the third uncle finally got some delicious food, but his brother wanted a share of the pie, which was not very reasonable.

The third uncle laughed and said, “Why are you being polite to me? Didn’t you tell me earlier? The three of us are a family and we have food to eat together.” Served a big bowl full. The contents of this pot are very rich, including miscellaneous grains, dishes, and even a few slices of fatty meat. I don’t know which rich family ate the leftover meals, but they kindly poured them over to a beggar.

The Zhang brothers have not eaten such a rich meal for a long time. After they served the food, they devoured it, making a “sucking” sound, and although they were scalded, no one was willing to slow down. The third uncle did not know what good luck he got today. In addition to the food in the pot, he also took out a few miscellaneous noodles and gave one to each of the two brothers.

Ergou ate happily and asked, “Third uncle, where did you come from? This family is so kind-hearted, you tell us, we will often go around in the future.”

The third uncle smiled and patted his head, but said nothing.

After the three of them finished eating, the big dog was clearing the dishes and listening to it: “It seems that someone is coming, who would come here at this time? Is it someone who escaped from the famine again?” He came out to beg for food Later, Zhang Dagou realized that the beggars also have their own gangs and also divide their own territory. They are a combination of an adult, a half-old child, and a young boy, and they are most vulnerable to being bullied by other gangs. What he is most afraid of now is that other gangs will take away their little shelter that can shelter from the wind and snow.

Zhang Dagou was nervously listening to the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, when the third uncle sighed and said, “Son, I won’t hide it from you, that’s the one who came to pick you up… I I sold you two to someone else.” The Zhang brothers stared at him in astonishment, unable to say anything.

There were seven or eight big men who came in from outside the door. From their clothes, it was obvious that they were servants of a big family. The brothers were often bullied by such people when they were begging, so when they saw them, two The dog was so frightened that he immediately hid behind the big dog. The man in the robe was probably a housekeeper, someone like an account, and he asked the third uncle with a condescending look: “Are these two children?” The third uncle nodded quickly: “Yes, yes, it’s them, Are you satisfied?”

The butler looked at the Zhang brothers up and down, and seemed dissatisfied with Zhang Dagou’s appearance. He shook his head and said, “It’s a stupid village, it’s not worth the price, I can only be a coolie when I buy it back. That’s all.”

The third uncle heard what he said, he hurriedly pushed the second dog out from behind the big dog, held the second dog’s chin and said to the housekeeper: “Big housekeeper Zhao, look at this, this little thing looks like a He is very handsome, and everyone has praised him since he was a child for not being like a farm boy!”

Zhang Dagou has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and dark skin, which is really not good-looking, but Ergou has clear eyebrows, fair skin, very beautiful and cute, and has always been the pride of the whole family in the village. Now the butler was really satisfied, nodded and smiled, and threw a money bag to the third uncle. With a wave of his hand, several big men came up and dragged the Zhang brothers.

Zhang Dagou resisted vigorously: “What are you doing! Third Uncle, why are you selling us! We are not your sons!” In his view, only parents have the right to buy and sell their children, but he doesn’t know that There are so many things like this in the world, who cares whether these two boys are really the nephew of the man in front of him, and whether this man has the right to sell them.

Although the two boys struggled hard, their bodies could not get enough to eat and wear warm all day long against a few big men, and they were subdued to the ground by the housekeepers in a few moments. Butler Zhao said neither yin nor yang: “I’m quite stubborn, it seems that I need to discipline me when I go back.” After that, he waved his hand and motioned for the servants to take the Zhang brothers and leave with him. Zhang Dagou looked at the third uncle with a fixed gaze, and while being dragged out of the ruined temple by the housekeepers reluctantly, he shouted unwillingly: “Uncle Third, why did you sell us? Why did you buy us…”

The third uncle didn’t respond to his voice at all, happily weighed the purse in his hand, carefully placed it in his arms, then sat back by the pot and began to enjoy his dinner.

It has been four days since Zhang Dagou came to Zhao’s house. He couldn’t remember how many times he was beaten and scolded, but he gradually gave up his heart to run away. It was because he discovered that although he was as humble as a dog in this mansion, everyone could bully, beat and scold him, but he could eat enough and sleep on a bed with a torn quilt, not every day. Hungry in the haystacks of the ruined temple. And more importantly, his younger brother Zhang Ergou was treated very well here.

On the day they were brought back, Butler Zhao announced to them that Zhang Dagou, who looked clumsy, went to the warehouse to do rough work, while Zhang Ergou, who looked smart and smart, went to the study to serve the master. Because his younger brother was taken away from his side like that, Zhang Dagou could not comfortably resist the impending servanthood. He tried again and again to sneak into the study in the inner courtyard to find his younger brother, or to escape from the palace full of glory and wealth. escape. Of course, these actions brought him repeated beatings and tortures. Zhang Dagou hated this mansion, the director Zhao, and the servants who were like wolves like tigers. Escape here. But after Zhang Ergou sneaked out from the back yard to meet him, his mind changed.

In just a few days, Zhang Ergou has undergone many changes. The face that was originally full of vegetables because of poor food and clothing has become ruddy, and the body has also changed into beautiful new clothes-even when their parents were alive, they had never made clothes of such good materials for their children. He looked very happy, pulling his brother and talking non-stop. Those around him who were frowning at Zhang Dagou were also very polite to Zhang Ergou. I heard Zhang Ergou say that Mr. Zhao likes him very much. Not only did he not ask him to do any work, but he taught him to read, and he taught him to write by himself.

My younger brother not only eats well and lives well, but also has the opportunity to read and read. In the eyes of Zhang Dagou, who was born in the countryside, this is a life like a fairy. What does it mean to suffer by yourself? The younger brother has a good life, and it really matters that he has a future in the future. Since Zhang Dagou met his brother, he has become diligent and obedient. The younger brother is now by the master’s side, and he is considered a powerful person in the house. Don’t let people talk things over with your ignorant elder brother and cause trouble to the younger brother. He was originally a child of a village family. Since he was a child, he has helped his parents feed pigs, collect firewood, and farm the fields. He has never done any work, and has a diligent temperament. No matter if it’s what he should do or not, as long as he instructs him, he will get up early and do it in the dark. So after a few months, Zhang Dagou also got along well with the long-term workers. Not only did he stop being beaten and scolded, but he also won the favor of a deputy general manager in charge of them. If there is anything good to eat or use, he will know how to use it. Take a high look at him and give him more points.

For Zhang Dagou, this is heaven.

He took his younger brother to escape from his hometown, didn’t he just want to eat enough food and live a life of food and clothing? In this way, it seems like a good thing to be sold as a slave. And I heard that if the servants did a good job, the master would reward a girl when he was happy and arrange for them to start a family. Since Ergou has the opportunity to learn to read, and the master likes it, maybe he can become a general manager in the future, and his brother will also follow. In the future, marrying a wife and having children can be considered worthy of the parents under Jiuquan.

Along the way, I imagined a better life in the future, Zhang Dagou lived a comfortable life, working every day at sunrise and resting at sunset, and before I knew it, another year passed. Seeing that it was winter again, the snow fell one after another, and the work of cleaning the yard became easier. Because the master saw the heavy snow, he ordered a few days ago that there is no need to sweep except the aisle, just to keep the snow. In addition to being grateful to the master in my heart, Zhang Dagou had a lot of leisure time. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, he is always wandering around the inner courtyard, hoping to see his younger brother.

Zhao’s family has a large family and a large population, so it is still very strict in terms of internal and external defenses. A couple of housekeepers and maids were beaten to death for cheating just a few months ago. Zhang Da, who has always been honest and afraid of things Of course the dog didn’t want to provoke any rumors, just honestly waiting for the opportunity. After finally seeing the big butler Zhao coming out, he hurriedly went up to salute.

“What’s the matter?” Butler Zhao always glanced out of the corner of his eyes when he looked at people. Zhang Dagou guessed that he didn’t see who he was at all.

“Big housekeeper, I want to meet my brother.”

“Who is your brother?”

“His name is Zhang Ergou, and he serves in the master’s study.”

“Zhang Ergou? How can there be such a person in the master’s study?” Between the big butler Zhao’s brows, a housekeeper next to him came up and said a few words in his ear before he suddenly said: “You mean Ai Guan? What do you want to see him for?”

Ai Guan? Mostly the master changed his name to his younger brother. He knew that the old man would often dislike the indecent names of the servants he bought and change them to a nicer one, but that was an honor only for the servants whom the old man liked, such as Zhang Dagou who specializes in rough work, what is his favorite name? What, no one cares. However, Zhang Dagou privately thought that the name Aiguan was not very pleasant, like an actor in a troupe. “Big housekeeper, I think it’s going to be New Year’s Eve, I want to meet my brother and say a few words.”

The big housekeeper Zhao frowned and said: “The old man is busy with a lot of things in the new year, but he doesn’t care about Ai Guan’s affairs. Okay, I’ll call him out this afternoon, just in time to persuade him. , don’t forget your duty just because the master loves him. It’s serious to ask him to serve the master well, don’t cry and wipe your tears all day long, who can you show me!” After speaking, his voice became very strict, Zhang Dagou was so frightened that he repeatedly said yes. Butler Zhao has a lot of knowledge about the means of punishing his servants, and he absolutely does not want these punishments to fall on his younger brother.

Isn’t Ergou very pleased with the master? Why did the big butler suddenly say this? Did your brother offend someone? Being bullied? Or… Zhang Dagou was thinking wildly, the work he was doing this morning was a mess, he finally passed the noon, and as soon as he finished eating, he went to the gate of the inner courtyard, waiting and waiting, and finally saw Ergou’s work. The figure came out.

“Er Gou, have you been doing well recently? I think you’ve lost weight.”

“It’s almost New Year’s Eve, do you have anything you want? My brother has saved a little money these days. You can use it.”

“You haven’t offended anyone recently, have you? If the lord likes you, you should be more cautious. There are so many people in this mansion, and everyone is staring at it.”

“Er Gou, is there someone who can’t see your good life and bully you?”

“Two dogs…”

No matter what Zhang Dagou said, Ergou always walked with his head down without saying a word. Ergou’s face is not very good, and the two dark circles under his eyes indicate that he has not had a good rest recently. The effect of his brother’s nagging voice on him is that the fog in his eyes is getting thicker and thicker, and it is about to condense into “rain”.

Although Zhang Dagou couldn’t watch his words, he also saw that something was wrong with his younger brother, and quickly took him back to his hut. The other servants in the room were not there. Zhang Dagou closed the door and asked his younger brother, “Er dog, did you tell my elder brother what happened? Did you get bullied? Did the master beat you and scold you?”

“Brother…” Zhang Ergou choked out a cry after holding it for a long time, but the tears couldn’t stop. Zhang Dagou coaxed and persuaded him for a long time before he slammed out a sentence: “Brother, he bullied me…”

“Who? Who bullied you?”

It took Zhang Dagou half a day to understand what happened to his younger brother. It turned out that the master of the Zhao mansion, Mr. Zhao, had a hobby on weekdays, that is, he didn’t like beautiful women and handsome men. Taking advantage of the disaster in Linxian County, there were many people selling their children and daughters, so he deliberately bought a group of handsome boys, and usually taught them to read and hyphenate words, play and sing, in order to cultivate a group of prostitutes. Poor Zhang Ergou didn’t know what was waiting for him, and thought that he could live a good life with one step. So he studied hard, tried his best to please his master, hoping to win a hopeful future for himself and his brother. His efforts made him easy to gain the love of his master, but the way he did it was—one night not long ago, Master Zhao, who was only eight years old, called Zhang Ergou into his bedroom.

“Beast! He is not human at all!” Zhang Dagou shouted angrily, smashing the bed.

“Brother, keep your voice down.” Zhang Ergou was afraid of being heard by outsiders, so he hurriedly stopped him.

“No, I can’t let you stay in this place, I’m going to take you away!” Zhang Dagou only felt a surge of anger hit his mind, causing him to completely lose his mind. He originally thought that he had given up resistance after a good life, and obediently acted as a horse for them here. He didn’t expect that everything was a daydream by himself, but instead he threw his brother into the tiger’s mouth and let them bully him. . He pulled the two dogs and walked out the door.

The Zhang brothers’ unusual expressions and actions were immediately noticed by the other housekeepers. Before the two of them walked to the back door, the big butler Zhao and a few strong housekeepers had already surrounded them. “Where are you going?” The big butler Zhao still had a tone that was neither yin nor yang.

“You bully my brother! I want to take him away!” Zhang Dagou forgot everything and shouted

“What’s wrong with bullying your brother? Your brother bought it to be the Rabbit Master… Hahaha…” A housekeeper laughed in an obscene tone.

It turns out that everyone knew what their younger brother was being brought into the inner courtyard for, but he was the only idiot who was kept in the dark. If he had known the truth earlier, he could have protected his younger brother and saved him from being insulted. . Thinking of this, Zhang Dagou was furious: “I’m going to take my brother away, I won’t let you bully him again!” He yelled, pulling his brother to rush out the door.

“Is it really against you?” The big butler Zhao snorted and instructed his subordinates, “Beat me hard with this ignorant thing! Send me Guan Ai back to the inner courtyard. !”

“Don’t touch my brother! I don’t need you to touch my brother!” Zhang Dagou shouted, grabbing a wooden stick from the side and waving it thinking of the family around him. The stick was originally used to lock the door, and it was thick and long. Now that it was swung by him, it could scare people for a while. Everyone just surrounded him, and no one stepped forward.

“Whoever catches this kid for me will reward me with ten taels of silver!” The words of the big butler Zhao made the hesitation of the housekeepers disappear. up.

The only thought in Zhang Dagou’s mind was to leave this place with his younger brother. He pulled his younger brother firmly, waving a stick in one hand and rushed out. The servants rushed up under the command of the big butler Zhao, and all kinds of guys beat him in the face. If the housekeeper hadn’t kept shouting from behind: “Don’t hurt Ai Guan, he is the master’s favorite child now, don’t hurt him! Otherwise, the master won’t spare you!” If the housekeepers were worried about accidentally hurting Zhang Ergou, how could they be here Supported under the siege of so many adult strong men?

Ergou is still young and has been tortured so much these days, so the whole person looks demented. Like a puppet, a wooden stick pointed at Zhang Dagou’s shoulder, almost knocking down his “weapon”. Zhang Dagou roared, screamed, and beat everyone around him hard. He didn’t know if he could take the lead. The younger brother fled, and he didn’t know what the ending was waiting for him, but he only had one thought in his heart, he was the boss, he had to protect his younger brother, and he couldn’t let his younger brother suffer this kind of crime.

“Stop this little bastard! Don’t let him bite again!”

“Be careful, be careful, you’ve hit Ai Guan!”

“Oh, this kid is quite strong, beat me to death!”

The housekeepers barked and scolded, and they surrounded the two brothers, but Zhang Dagou didn’t dare to move forward because Zhang Dagou was chaotic and chaotic, and the two sides were deadlocked there for a while. I don’t know how many times Zhang Dagou has been beaten, his head and the corners of his mouth are bleeding. The scene in front of him seems to be impossible for him to escape from here with his younger brother, but he just refuses to give up, like a wounded beast The same roar, but instead injured a few of the servants.

“Whoever catches this mad dog will be rewarded with 22 taels of silver!” The big butler Zhao looked angrily and increased the amount of silver reward, which also led to a new wave of attacking the big dog Zhang.

“This little beast is like a mad dog!” After being beaten twice by Zhang Dagou, a family member couldn’t bear it anymore, and no longer worried about whether he would hurt the beautiful young Aiguan appointed by the master. Hit the two brothers down. Zhang Ergou was knocked to the ground by him with a stick, rolled out a long way, and was immediately pressed by two servants. Zhang Dagou was about to pounce on his younger brother, and another servant was a stick towards his head from behind. Hearing a muffled sound of “dong”, the stick hit the back of Zhang Dagou’s head, and he fell to the ground. The surrounding family members rushed up and punched and kicked him for a while. When they stopped a moment later, Zhang Ergou was lying on his back on the ground, his eyes were closed, and he was already motionless. One of the servants kicked him and said to himself, “Isn’t he dead? I can’t help but beat him!”

The big housekeeper Zhao sneered: “You have to pay for it! For him to eat and for him to wear, but he turned against him! You deserve it, you will be dragged to feed the dog later!”

Zhang Ergou, who had been in a daze all the time, only understood what happened at this moment. He suddenly pushed away the servant who was pulling him, pounced on Zhang Dagou on the ground, hugged him and cried loudly: “Brother, Brother, don’t die! Get up! Don’t die! If you die, they will come to bully me again, I’m afraid! Brother…don’t leave me alone…Brother, I’m afraid…”

The housekeeper leaned down to him and said warmly, “Ai Guan’er, how good your master is to you, what’s the point of crying for such a low-class person, come on, send Ai Guan back to the backyard.” To Zhang Er Gou Zhao, the big butler, doesn’t want to be very offended. After all, this little thing is being favored now. If the wind blows on the pillow by the ear of the master, he can’t eat and walk around – there are several people who are eyeing this butler’s seat. Waiting.

“You killed my eldest brother! You killed my eldest brother!” Zhang Ergou saw that his eldest brother did not move for a long time, and knew that he was in a bad way, so he cried even more. He was a small child who fell into the wolf’s den, and then lost the only big brother he could rely on, and the days to come would be slaughtered by others. …Brother, take me with you…Brother, I’m afraid if you leave me alone, they will bully me…”

The housekeeper waved to Jia Ding Yi: “Send Ai Guan’er to the back, wash his face and change his clothes well, what will the master see when he comes back like this… Also, get rid of that corpse as soon as possible!” /

“Don’t touch my eldest brother, don’t touch my eldest brother…” Zhang Ergou immediately tried to take away his servants and tore them apart, but how could he fight two big men as a child, he was about to be pulled away by them, He tried his best to fall to the ground and used his weight to resist, while shouting: “Big brother, save me… Big brother, open your eyes… Help me… Big brother, big brother, you don’t want me either. I don’t want to live anymore…”

In the middle of Zhang Ergou’s entanglement with the housekeeper, Zhang Dagou on the ground suddenly jumped up, grabbed the stick in the hand of a housekeeper beside him, and hit the big butler Zhao with a few sticks. The housekeeper Zhao, who had already been emptied by the wine, was caught off guard. How could he withstand Zhang Dagou’s aggressive sticks? These wooden sticks were specially used by the government to beat the slaves. After being used for many years, it was very smooth and smooth. Usually, the housekeeper instructed the housekeepers to use them to hit other people. This time, he had personally tasted the taste of wooden sticks and fell to the ground. Let out an earth-shattering howl. Seeing that the housekeeper fell to the ground, the housekeepers suddenly lost their backbone. Some rushed over to help and greet, while others stayed in place. Zhang Dagou took advantage of this momentary gap to grab his brother’s hand and even lead him to rush. out the gate of the mansion.

I just heard the big housekeeper Zhao behind him howling: “Don’t tell them to run away…”

“Get them back!”

“Ai Guan lost his master and came back to skin you!”

“Chase! Let the dog chase!”

“…” Among all the noisy voices, the barking of dogs could be heard faintly. Zhang Dagou didn’t even have time to distinguish the road, and rushed forward.

Zhang Dagou collapsed after being hit in the back of the head. It was his brother’s cry that woke him up. At that time, he only felt a splitting headache and his whole body was weak. He also felt that he was about to die, but when he heard Those evil slaves around me still want to send my younger brother to be a plaything for others. I heard my younger brother screaming to myself for help, and when I heard my younger brother shouting that he no longer wanted to live, he did not know where he was born. With a burst of strength, he got up from the ground and pulled his younger brother out of the terrifying compound.

He dragged his short-legged younger brother and ran aimlessly without any purpose. Blood was pouring out from his head, mouth, nostrils… everywhere, obscuring his vision and senses, and the huge pain in his head also made His consciousness began to become more and more blurred, and he vaguely felt as if he had knocked over dozens of stalls, and rushed into a welcome team, disturbing many pedestrians. At the beginning, the barking of the servants behind him and the growling of the dogs were still not far behind, and then it became farther and farther away, and finally it seemed that they could not be heard.

He shook his head vigorously, splashing blood all over the place. Because his ears were buzzing all the time, he wasn’t sure if the housekeepers behind him were really thrown away, and he wasn’t sure if they would continue chasing after him. , so I still ran desperately, until the second dog next to me cried and said, “Big brother, I can’t run anymore… Big brother, let’s take a break… Big brother…” Then Zhang Dagou stopped. pace.

He wiped the blood on his face with his hands, trying to see where he was, but his eyes were full of ice and snow. Through the blood in his eyes, it seemed that the whole world was covered with a layer of blood-colored snow. The trees around him were overgrown with snow, and the trunks of the trees were covered with ice. It seemed that he ran out of the town and into the forest in one breath. Looking back, he saw two series of footprints and a little bloodstain extending all the way on the snow, and he was very anxious, so that they could follow the footprints to find it? No, I have to run away! At this time, his consciousness was not very clear, and he even ignored his brother’s cry, picked up the two dogs, and fled to the deeper forest.

The more you walk into the mountains, the deeper the snow accumulates, and in some places, you step on it with one foot and even reach your knees. The short Zhang Ergou broke free from his brother’s shoulder and immediately fell into the snow. He hurriedly grabbed his brother’s body. At this time, there was heavy snow in the environment around them, and it was already full of tall trees. Among the boundless trees, seeing Zhang Dagou going inside, Zhang Ergou hurriedly called: “Brother, let’s not enter the woods again. I’m scared.”

Zhang Dagou finally stopped and looked down at his younger brother. His clothes had long been soaked in blood, and then frozen into a piece by the cold wind. His hair, eyebrows, and cheeks were all covered with red cold stubble. Shi Bai, his eyes were slack, and he asked vaguely: “Er Gou, are you cold?”

“Cold…Brother, I’m so cold, so hungry, so tired.” Ergou said tremblingly. Once he stopped after running for a while, he felt an unbearable cold on his body, his teeth chattering.

Zhang Dagou took off his clothes and draped it over Ergou. Ergou looked at his exposed shoulders and said sensible: “Brother, I’m not cold anymore, put it back on quickly…you’re cold… …”

Zhang Dagou pressed him and said, “Brother, it’s not cold, you put on your clothes first, and I’ll look for something to eat.” As he spoke, he walked towards the woods, but just two steps away, he collapsed on the ground. on the snow.

“Brother, brother…” Zhang Ergou rushed over and tried to help him up, but he couldn’t pull him a few times, so he had to help him sit under a tree and give him the clothes again. Draped on his shoulders, shaking him loudly. But Zhang Dagou lay motionless and didn’t react. Zhang Ergou thought that his brother could suddenly get up again like last time, but he didn’t know that this time Zhang Dagou really stopped breathing. He had already suffered a fatal blow when he was in Zhao’s house, and later he was able to stand up with a fierce force because he wanted to protect his younger brother. He took Zhang Ergou to escape such a long distance. Not only did he not receive any treatment for his injuries, but his blood didn’t stop. Although his physique was strong, he had reached the point where the lights were running out and he could no longer support it. Can’t afford to fall to the ground.

Zhang Ergou still doesn’t know that he has been separated from his elder brother forever. Since his parents passed away, he has been relying on his elder brother for life. He has taken his elder brother as his spiritual sustenance for more than a year in Zhao’s residence. If he sees his brother, he can be saved. As long as he sees his brother, he can save himself from that cage. He just thought so, but he didn’t expect to escape, but his brother was lying in the icy snow, letting him call whatever he wanted. Don’t open your eyes either. He hugged Zhang Dagou and used his body temperature to keep his brother warm. Maybe his brother fainted from the cold just because he took off his clothes and put them on for himself. When he warmed up, he would wake up. At that time, the two brothers can come to open here together and go back to their hometown. But I went back to work in the fields and had three meals a day…

The sky gradually darkened, the cold wind swept through the trees more violently, making a shrill cry, the setting sun flickered like a struggle on the top of the mountain, and suddenly disappeared, Zhang Ergou suddenly shrouded his face. In the dark night, he was so frightened that he squeezed hard beside his brother, his arms tightly wrapped around his brother’s body. Zhang Dagou’s body was frozen and stiff, and he was no longer angry. Looking at his silent and stiff face, even Zhang Ergou understood that most of his brother had left him forever like his father and mother.

Zhang Ergou cuddled next to his brother, and spent the night cold, hungry and frightened. Fortunately, the howls of wild beasts could be heard from time to time in the forest, which scared him to sleep. Otherwise, he would be in such a cold night in the woods. If he fell asleep, he might not be able to open his eyes in the morning.

The next day, Zhang Ergou was still curled up there, he had lost the strength to think, that is, he didn’t plan to think about what to do next, and he didn’t plan to leave this place, although he was walking along the night After the cold wind, there were still faintly discernible footprints. He could go back the same way, but he didn’t want to go this way. He just wanted to stay by his brother’s side, he just wanted to stay like this, hugging his brother’s body tightly. He didn’t think about what would happen next.

A solitary child and a corpse can easily become the target of prey in this uninhabited forest, in this world of the weak.

It was another cloudy day and the wind was howling. God seems to think that the knee-high snow in the woods is not deep enough, and it needs to fall more.

A gray-black wolf slowly walked out of the woods, followed by the second, third, and fourth. A total of more than a dozen wild wolves slowly walked out from the depths of the woods. Bloody murderous blocking eyes looked at the two “flesh” on the snow. In the cold and freezing season, it is very difficult for any creature to survive in the wild. Even these beasts with sharp claws and fangs have to struggle with hunger and beg to survive the harsh winter. The wolves were attracted by the faint smell of blood in the air. They found it all the way. They saw the long-awaited food. They had been hungry for several days. They were not impatient. A small “meat” is surrounded.

Ever since he saw the wolves, Zhang Ergou had been so frightened that he still wanted to resist—even if he thought about it, he would be called a child with bare hands, what would he do to resist the hungry wolf.

“Brother, brother, help…help…the wolf is coming…the wolf is coming…” In the child’s shrill cry, the alpha wolf let out a terrifying long howl, and the surrounding wolves turned to Come forward.

Their intuition and sensitive senses have told them that the larger individual is dead, so there is no threat to them at all. And the smaller one doesn’t seem to have the ability to resist. Even so, the wolves still maintain vigilance and precaution, and are not their accustomed prey to human food. After all, this kind of creature is too dangerous and too cunning.

The head wolf was the first to pounce on Zhang Ergou, and easily knocked the little man out and fell into the wolves. When Zhang Ergou saw that surrounding him were all the evil wolves with wide mouths, sharp fangs, and a dim light in his eyes, he didn’t even have the strength to stand up, he held his head in his hands and yelled. : “Brother…they’re going to eat me, help…brother, brother…”

The alpha wolf came over and bit Zhang Ergou’s throat.

Just when the hot stench from the wolf’s mouth had sprayed onto Ergou’s face, causing him to close his eyes in despair and wait to die, a peculiar aura came and the alpha wolf stopped moving. The wolves who felt keen all turned their direction, looking at the direction where the strange breath came from, the head wolf pressed Zhang Ergou with his claws, and the **** made a low roar that is unique to a beast when it feels danger.

I saw that the already frozen corpse on the ground was moving its limbs, and finally got up from the snow.

His face was still full of the color of death, and covered with ice stubble formed by blood and snow. In this way, his speed is still not slow, and he reaches the front of the wolves with a few jumps. The eyeballs of his eyes were also frozen with a thin layer of ice. Under the ice film, the blood-red eyeballs turned, and his lips showed a few sharp fangs, facing the wolves, making a roar similar to them Voice.

A wolf closest to him faced his approach, but involuntarily took a few steps back, and then in the roar of the leader, he bravely walked towards him, only to hear a miserable howl, the wolf He was grabbed by him and smashed directly on the snow. I saw his arms waving up and down, and a big wolf slammed on the snow again and again, causing the snow to splash all over the place. If it weren’t for the soft snow on the ground, it is estimated that these few strokes would have killed the wolf, but even so, by the time the wolf was thrown away by him, he was already paralyzed on the ground and unable to move. After the other wolves let out a long and shrill cry, they all tucked their tails and turned to run deep into the forest. The monster in front of him carried an aura that made wild animals unwilling to come into contact with it. The smell mixed with death directly affected the nerves of the animals, causing them to avoid them subconsciously.

Only the leader of the wolf pack remained by Zhang Ergou’s side, roaring unwillingly. He had been hungry for a few days and was not willing to give up this delicious food no matter what. It has always been a strong man in the forest, so even in the face of such a monster, he is not willing to retreat.

“Ow…” With the roar of the alpha wolf, it rushed towards the opponent in front of him like lightning, and accurately bit the opponent’s throat. Such an attack is its specialty. As long as the prey it bites, no one can escape the fate of being its food. But today, the experience that the alpha wolf has been honing in survival has lost its effectiveness. It’s teeth have obviously been caught in the flesh of the other party, but it feels as if it has bitten into the wood, and it is hard and tough to bite. At this time, he claws the two hind legs of the alpha wolf hanging on his body with both hands, and pushes outwards. Alpha Wolf screamed in pain, but he was not torn into two pieces by this huge force. But this time the wolf had to let go, jumped out from a distance, lowered his body towards the opponent, and made a gesture of attacking at any time.

This time, he couldn’t hold his breath. After all, Alpha Wolf had rich combat experience, and he only relied on instinct. He took a big step towards the alpha wolf and hit it with one punch. The Alpha Wolf nimbly jumped to avoid, and grabbed a claw on his leg, scaring a large piece of flesh. He turned around suddenly and punched again, and the alpha wolf diddge again.

A “man” and a wolf confronted him again. The alpha wolf circled around him a few times. Suddenly, he felt that he should not fight any more. He turned around and fled into the woods with a limping step.

He didn’t chase either. He grabbed the only wolf on the ground that was powerless to escape, aimed at its throat, and bit down with almost the same action as the alpha wolf just now. Looking at Zhang Ergou, who was already frightened and dumbfounded, he listened to the swallowing sounds of “gudong” and “gudong” in his throat: “Brother…” Seeing that his brother was actually drinking the blood of the wolf, Zhang Ergou Shout out.

He heard the sound, looked at the wolf corpse that was still writhing in his hand, and looked at Ergou with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, with greedy appetite in his eyes.

“Brother, you are injured!” Zhang Ergou, after he turned around, found two rows of teeth marks on his throat. He screamed in fright. Reaching out to his wound, he wanted to cover the terrible wound for his brother with his own hand.

He growled lowly in his eyes, but Zhang Ergou didn’t realize his strangeness, and still said with a crying voice: “Brother, what should I do? You are injured, let’s go back to the doctor… I’m not afraid. They took them back…Brother, let’s go and heal your wounds…”

He originally only had the idea of ​​”food” in his mind, and he clearly knew that the human being in front of him was better than a wolf, and the thoughts of “eat him” and “eat him” kept spinning in his mind, but For some reason, he just couldn’t bite down on the other side. When Ergou took the initiative to pounce on him and tears flowed on him, the ferocity in his eyes had disappeared unknowingly.

“Brother, you’ll be fine…” Zhang Ergou found that his hand hadn’t wiped blood from his wound, and said overjoyedly, “I thought you were dead… I thought even you Don’t want me…” After saying that, he fell to the ground. The exhaustion of hunger and cold, the fright of meeting wolves, and the ecstasy of his brother’s resurrection from the dead, all of which combined, made this young child unable to hold on any longer.

He looked down at this small body, and seemed to think for a long time. Then, before the sun shone through the clouds, he dragged the wolf corpse with one hand and Zhang Ergou with the other, and walked into the more Deep in the dense forest.

Zhang Ergou shivered and dug out the flint from his brother’s clothes, collected dead branches and lit a fire, and dragged the wolf and the meat on the fire to roast it. After he woke up, he found himself lying in a big tree hole, his brother curled up in the corner of the tree hole with his knees in his arms, and the body of the dead wolf lay beside him. Zhang Ergou was too cold and too hungry. He shook his feet several times: “Brother, I’m hungry… I’m so hungry…” But Zhang Dagou didn’t move.

Maybe my brother’s injury still hurts. Zhang Ergou thought so, and felt ashamed for wanting to rely on his brother for everything. Now that my brother is injured, he should take care of him by himself. He stood up tremblingly and went outside the cave to collect many dead branches from the bushes, and a fire was raised at the entrance of the cave.

After the meat started to squeak on the fire, Zhang Ergou drooled at the meat on the fire. After one night, it was fortunate that he was a child of a farm family, and his begging career had given him a strong body, otherwise he would have collapsed long ago.

“Brother, don’t you want to eat it!” Zhang Ergou shouted happily, waving a half-baked wolf’s leg. In order to avoid the fire and the rising sun, Zhang Dagou shrunk in the innermost tree hole, facing the steaming The food let out a low growl.

Zhang Ergou took a big bite at the half-baked meat and frowned, but he still ate it left and right, hitting the snow on the ground, and after a while he was small and ate it. A whole wolf’s leg. Wiping his mouth after he was full, Zhang Ergou carefully dragged the rest of the food back into the tree hole, and then threw himself into Zhang Dagou’s arms: “Brother, I’m so cold and tired…” Then he didn’t wait for Zhang Dagou In response, he had already embraced his brother’s waist as he was accustomed to in his life of wandering and begging, and fell asleep with his head on his lap.

Brother’s body is so cold, it must be because of so much blood from his wound… But it doesn’t matter, we have escaped from that terrible place, and we can live a life of two brothers in the future. Now… Zhang Ergou smiled slightly in his sleep. Zhang Dagou was expressionless, just sitting curled up like that. Outside the tree hole, the wind increased, and the heavy snow began to press down on the world again…

The people of Zhao’s house have also searched for them in the mountains along the route they escaped.

Zhang Ergou was trembling with fear when he heard them entering the mountain from a distance, both human and dog barking. He hid behind his brother and did not dare to move. But because the snowstorm that blew that day not only completely covered up their previous footprints, but also buried their scent under the snow, making the hounds brought by the Zhao family useless.

The Zhang brothers had already entered the forest so deeply that the Zhao family could still follow in. It is definitely not an easy and pleasant thing to travel in such a snow-covered environment. Cursing, threatening to do what to the two brothers when they are found. But there was a strict order from above, but they didn’t dare to go back without seeing the dead or the corpse. From this, it can also be seen that Mr. Looking for his “love” for Zhang Ergou, and he spared no effort to find him.

The Zhang brothers hid in the tree hole. Several times the family members were close at hand, but they didn’t find the tree hole that was mostly buried by the heavy snow. The day was getting dark, and the dark clouds in the sky gathered again. After hearing the roar of the wild beast, the housekeepers were talking about a boy from the Zhang family bringing a child into the mountains covered with heavy snow and wild beasts. , with injuries on his body, he must have died from serious injuries, or died of starvation, or else he would be buried in the belly of a beast, and there would be no point in looking for it. The leader gradually couldn’t control everyone’s emotions, and he himself seemed to have lost interest in continuing to search under everyone’s muttering. After leading people to pluck grass and smash trees in the woods for a while, they simply concluded that the two brothers had been eaten by wild animals.

After collaborating with each other and going back to the master, these servants said something similar to the vicious prophecy that the two brothers who had been suffering in the ice and snow must have been dismembered by the wolves and left without bones. , but did not know that the two brothers of the Zhang family were nearby where they could hear their conversation.

Zhang Ergou let out a long sigh of relief, and those people gave up looking for them. Does that mean he’s out of that hellish place ever since? Will he be able to live freely with his brother in the future, and will no longer be bullied by those people?

He was just thinking about the future excitedly, but he didn’t notice that after Zhang Dagou heard the voices of those people and smelled their scent, his throat began to swallow unconsciously and let out a low roar. If it wasn’t for the trembling two dogs hugging his waist from behind, he would have been unable to help but pounce on those delicious flesh and delicious food, preventing them from escaping…

“Brother, we are free, we don’t need to be slaves to others anymore!” Zhang Ergou took his brother’s hand and almost jumped up and cheered.

Zhang Dagou’s eyes flashed red, and he growled in an unexplainable low voice in his throat. At this time, it was already dark, and hunger and instinct made him break free from Zhang Ergou and walked towards the vast forest outside the tree hole. He swung his head into the distance and sniffed, then disappeared behind the snow-covered bushes at great speed…

“Brother…Where are you going? Brother…” Zhang Ergou caught up behind him in a panic, but how could he catch up with the extremely fast Zhang Dagou, and he disappeared after a while. He was sitting on the snow at a loss, not knowing why his brother suddenly gave up on him. Is it because he is too useless, and my brother is tired of dragging him as a burden?

He sat blankly on the snow for a long time, just when the snowflakes fell from the air again, Zhang Dagou walked back with a dead deer in his hands.

“Brother, you must not leave me…” Zhang Ergou cried and hugged his elder brother, “Brother, you have been the best to me since you were a child, your parents are gone, you can’t leave me…Brother… …”

Zhang Dagou didn’t say anything, he carried Zhang Ergou with one hand, dragged the dead deer back to the tree hole with the other, put Zhang Ergou down, threw the dead deer at his feet, and sat down In the corner of the tree hole, he closed his eyes and did not move.

“Brother…” Zhang Ergou cried, but he understood his brother’s intention and went out to pick up firewood, light a fire, and roast meat by himself. my own.

I want to learn to do things by myself, I can’t just rely on my brother for everything. Zhang Ergou thought so in his heart while nibbling on half-cooked meat. Until now, he still doesn’t think there is anything wrong with his brother, just thinking about how happy and free the two brothers will be living together in the future…

The Zhang brothers lived in the woods like this.

During the day, because Zhang Dagou was afraid of light, he hid in a tree hole, while Ergou searched for dry wood and dead branches nearby. At night, when the big dog went out to forage, Zhang Ergou lit a fire below the beasts foraging.

There is nothing to eat in the winter forest. All their three meals a day come from Zhang Dagou hunting wild beasts that hunt at night: wolves, lynx, leopards… Any “meat” that falls into Zhang Dagou’s eyes, he will Catch them in an almost crazy way, then drain their blood, and the rest of the flesh will belong to Zhang Ergou. They didn’t have a skinning tool, but when Zhang Dagou woke up, he became extremely powerful. Not only did he beat the wolf with his bare hands, but he could also tear the wolf corpse apart with his hands. Zhang Ergou casually wrapped the torn skin around his body to keep out the cold. He also wanted to put on some animal skins for each of them, but they were all ripped off by Zhang Dagou in a very rough way. After a long time, seeing that his brother was really not cold, Zhang Ergou just let it go.

One day, Zhang Dagou, who was out hunting, met a ferocious leopard unexpectedly. After a fierce struggle, he used the leopard as food, but he also broke an arm, so he had to hold the dead leopard in one hand and slowly walk back.

My brother has been gone for a long time, but he never came back. Seeing that the sky was beginning to turn white, Zhang Ergou anxiously ran out of several holes to look around. He didn’t find his brother, but stumbled upon an abandoned forest hut. The roof of the house is half-collapsed, the house is full of snow, there are some broken straw mats, a chipped axe, a simple stove and some bottles and jars. There was some firewood piled up on the side of the house, which looked like an abandoned hut where hunters rested when they went into the mountains.

When Zhang Dagou returned to the tree hole and dropped the leopard, he came out again to look for his younger brother. After the two brothers met on the way, Zhang Ergou hugged Zhang Dagou and jumped up and down with joy: “Brother, take a look, We have a house to live in! We have a house to live in!” Then he took him to see the abandoned house.

Since it was an ownerless house, the Zhang brothers unceremoniously settled in it.

Zhang Ergou cleaned the snow in the house, climbed up high places to repair the roof, chopped rough wood with an axe to repair the walls… In the past, when he was at home, he was the most beloved by the family. When he was in the government, he was a prostitute who was deliberately cultivated, so he had never done such rough work. While wiping the frozen snot with his sleeves, he tried hard to tie the boards together with rattan, but his foot slipped and fell directly from the hole in the roof. When he closed his eyes and waited for his back to hit the When he fell heavily, he was caught by a strong arm.

Zhang Dagou came over from the corner where he was sitting at some point, and hugged him firmly with one hand.

“Brother, I’m fine, wait a minute, I’ll repair the roof right away.” Zhang Ergou wiped the sweat and snot from his face and said.

Zhang Dagou’s broken arm hanging on his side has been fixed by him with a wooden board. With such a serious injury, his brother didn’t cry out in pain, and he had to bring his prey back. Zhang Ergou felt uncomfortable for his brother in his heart, because his useless younger brother implicated him, and he suffered so much. Now that the wounds on his body are not healed, he is busy hunting for himself all day long, and the wounds are getting worse. Seeing his brother’s pale face and increasingly thin body, he hated how useless he was. So he desperately wanted to do more of his own so that his brother could rest.

Zhang Dagou just hid in the corner where the sun could not shine, watching his younger brother use his weak body to carry the planks, sweep the snow, and block the windows. It is difficult for him to use the method of thinking. For his current mind, the only thoughts are to survive and eat. The crowd in front of this man named his brother has overloaded his thinking and often finds it unbearable. , so he ignored what the other party was doing, recharged his energy and cultivated his arms, and went to look for food at night.

Zhang Ergou suddenly cheered: “Brother, I found a small knife, we can peel the skin and cut the meat, hehe, I will find a stone to grind it! It’s great! Wait for me to peel it off. The leopard’s skin makes a robe for my brother…” Watching him happily rush out of the room, Zhang Dagou’s throat purred again, but he nodded involuntarily.

Zhang Ergou had almost done the work in his hand, and dragged him to pick up the animal skins and sat down beside Zhang Dagou: “Brother, we finally have a home here… I’m really happy. …Really, since we went out to beg that year, I’ve been looking forward to when we can go home again…” Tears began to roll down, “Brother, I’m so happy…”

Spring comes and winter goes, summer solstice and autumn come, the two brothers took the abandoned house as their home, and have lived in the mountains and forests for nearly six years.

At this time, Zhang Ergou was fourteen years old. He had grown a lot taller. Due to working all day, his body had become stronger. He was dressed in animal skins and trousers. taste. If anyone saw him at this time, they would not have imagined that this strong young man was the timid and timid prostitute from the Zhao family back then.

Zhang Dagou’s appearance changed even more. In the past six years, he should have been nineteen years old, and he has not grown taller at all, but has become a lot thinner. The originally strong physique has unknowingly changed into the skinny appearance it is now, and it looks like a moving skeleton from a distance. His complexion became even paler, and although he feeds on raw blood every day, there is no trace of blood on his face. If an acquaintance saw him, they would not recognize him as the healthy and capable servant from the Zhao residence back then. But his strength has become astonishingly large, he can strangle a big wolf with one hand, and he can beat a tree with a thick bowl with one punch.

Because of Zhang Dagou’s strength, the two brothers live in the deep mountains and forests. Not only are they not afraid of wild beasts, but they can be turned into delicious meals.

The original dilapidated hut has been neatly cleaned up by Ergou, and wooden boards have been added to the places where it leaked from the wind and rain. A small piece of vegetable border, in which several kinds of vegetables live—they are children of the farm family, and they are best at farming and growing vegetables.

Two years ago, Zhang Ergou for the first time bravely brought a lot of fur and tiger bones and tried to sell it in a nearby village. In his heart, he was extremely afraid of the **** on earth in the Zhao residence, for fear that they would recognize him and arrest him. If it weren’t for the lack of things in the mountains, and my brother’s health has not been good since the injury that year (Zhang Ergou guessed it by himself). I can bear any grievances in my life, but at least I need to buy some medicines to come back to treat my brother.

This is how Zhang Ergou carried a large bundle of animal skins down the mountain with the feeling of seeing death as his home. But contrary to his cautiousness, the people in that small village had no doubts about him, a boy who claimed to be a child of the Orion family. Xiaoshan Village is far away from the county town. They don’t know if there is a big Zhao family in the city. How can they think of a young man as a fugitive slave in Zhao’s house many years ago?

The villagers were convinced of Zhang Ergou’s fabricated origins, believing that he was the child of a hunter family who had lived in the mountains for generations. People in the village are also happy to buy those cheap furs from Zhang Ergou, because as long as they are sold to traders who come to the village to buy them, they will immediately make several times the profit. Zhang Ergou bought medicinal materials, grain, salt, tools and some seeds from the villagers and brought them back to the mountains. With such a channel, he is more at ease to live the current life with his brother in the woods.

“Brother, I went to the village to sell these hides and bought more food to come back. I see that the weather is getting colder and colder, I’m afraid it’s going to snow soon, and I won’t be able to go out when the snow seals the mountain. I will buy more food for backup this time, and it will take a longer time, anyway, I will be back at night.” Zhang Ergou said as he walked towards the door with a hunting knife and a hunting bow on his back. He bought these weapons from the villagers, and they really looked like a hunter when they were dressed.

Zhang Dagou still hid in the corner where the sun could not shine, and answered vaguely: “Yes.”

In the past few years, he could vaguely spit out a few words, such as “OK”, “OK”, “No” and so on. Zhang Ergou was very happy about this. He always thought that his brother was unable to speak because of his injury. Now he can speak gradually. Naturally, it is the reason why the sick body is recovering. It seems that the expensive medicinal materials are working. This time I went to the village to buy more eggs and white noodles in addition to medicinal materials to increase nutrition for my brother.

Zhang Ergou was planning this, while carrying the pile of animal skins that had been accumulated for a long time, and walked towards the small village on the other side of the hill.

The village is located in the middle of the mountain, with only forty families. Although the village is built on a mountain, the villagers mostly make a living by farming and collecting firewood, which reminds Zhang Ergou of his hometown.

There are no hunters in this village, so Zhang Ergou’s arrival is very welcome. Cao Da, who often trades with him, saw him at the door from afar and greeted him: “Brother Han, I’m here to sell leather again.”

Zhang Ergou was worried that the government was still chasing their brothers, so he did not dare to give his name, and always lied about his surname Han (their brother’s mother’s surname was Han). He nodded to Cao Da: “Uncle Cao, this is what you have to look at this time. The thing I asked you to help prepare last time…”

“It’s all there, it’s all there…Second girl, take it out to Brother Han to see if it’s alright.”

Following his words, a girl of the same age as Zhang Ergou ran out, looked at Zhang Ergou, agreed bluntly, ran into the house again, and soon took out some food, cotton clothes class of things. In the end, she took a newly made cotton coat, blushed and said to Zhang Ergou: “Brother Han, this, this is what I made especially for you, try it to see if it fits… This, this is what my father asked me to do. I didn’t do it for you, I didn’t do it myself.” This last sentence made Cao Da laugh out loud.

Zhang Ergou was only fourteen years old at this time, and he called himself fifteen. The children of the peasant family, at the age of fourteen or five, have reached the age to talk about marriage. Zhang Ergou has a beautiful appearance, and his temperament is not like an ordinary farmer’s child, and he has the advantage of “ability” which is valued by the farmer. Cao Erjie is quite interested in him.

Cao Da not only did not stop his daughter’s thoughts, but he measured Zhang Ergou in his heart for a long time. This boy has only one father – Zhang Ergou, in order to avoid suspicion, lied that he has only a father in his family, his eldest brother is like a father, and in his mind, Zhang Dagou is indeed like a father to him- and I heard that He is still sick, and he may not endure for a few years. This is very attractive to Cao Da, who only has three daughters. Besides, this young man is smart and capable, and must be a good housekeeper. If he is willing to join the family, he can consider marrying the second girl to him.

Of course, Zhang Ergou didn’t know what the father and daughter had in mind. He finally didn’t have the embarrassment to interview that dress in front of the father and daughter of the Cao family, and put it in the back basket along with the other cotton-padded clothes. Looking at some of the tonics he bought for his brother, he nodded with satisfaction. He still thinks that Zhang Dagou’s abnormality is caused by injury, but Zhang Dagou just refuses to take medicine. After a year of hard work, he just let him eat cooked food. It’s just that every time he catches prey, he still has to drain the blood. Zhang Ergou had to buy more nourishing products and drugs to mix it with the meat porridge. I hope my brother will eat more and recover sooner. Over the past few years, my brother has raised him to be tall and strong, but he himself is skinny. Thinking of his brother’s appearance, Zhang Ergou felt distressed for a while.

“Brother Han, I want to visit your father in the spring, okay?” Cao Da tapped a dry tobacco bag on the fence and asked with a smile.

“Huh?” Zhang Ergou raised his head in confusion.

Cao Da laughed and said, “I want to see your father and talk about the children, hehehe…” He clearly expressed his intention to come to the house to propose marriage, and Erjie Cao hurriedly covered her face. ran into the house.

Zhang Ergou first thought of the actual situation of his own home, and said at a loss: “Well, um, I’ll talk about it later, I’ll talk about it later…” He hurriedly fled out, not taking a few steps and again Come back and pick up what he forgot to take. Cao Da looked at his background and laughed. When Zhang Ergou’s background disappeared, Cao Erjie came out of the room, staring at his back, playing with her braids, her cheeks flushed, and she didn’t know what she was thinking.

“Brother, do you think it would be better if we had a woman in our family?” Zhang Ergou asked Zhang Dagou with a blushing face after the meal was put on the table.

After several thoughts, he felt that if there was a woman in the family to clean up and cook, he could go hunting with his brother and relieve some of his brother’s burden. Moreover, it is better for a woman to do things like laundry, cooking, sewing and mending, and can also take better care of her brother. Although he had never thought about marrying a daughter-in-law before today, but after thinking about it, he began to think that maybe building a hut next to him and welcoming a virtuous woman would not be a bad thing. thing.

Zhang Dagou raised his head, and there was a grunt in his throat, and he couldn’t tell whether he was expressing appreciation or disapproval.

Pushing away his rice bowl, Zhang Dagou opened the door and walked out. He took a deep breath into the starless and moonless night and let out a comfortable growl. For him, the sun-heated day is like a long torture, and only the night is his world. He stretched his limbs, and there was a “click” sound between his bones, and the whole person looked taller.

“Brother, I’ll go with you later.” Zhang Ergou waved his newly bought bow and arrow, and the hunting knife jumped out. He recently practiced archery and knife skills (because no one taught him, and he just waved at the pheasant beasts), hoping to fight side by side with his brother and hunt those ferocious beasts together.

Zhang Dagou looked at him, his lips wriggled, and he uttered the word “No.” with difficulty.

“Brother, just let me go, I’ve grown up!” Zhang Ergou knew that his brother wanted to protect himself, but he also wanted to be a man who stood alone and could not be kept down by his brother all the time. .

“No, Xu, come here.” Zhang Dagou struggled to utter these words word by word, then turned around and left. His speed was so fast in the dark night, Zhang Ergou had just chased a few steps before his figure disappeared into the vast woods. Zhang Ergou stomped his feet helplessly, but after living for so long, he was very aware of the dangers of the mountains and forests in the dark night, so he did not dare to chase into the forest alone, so he had to walk back angrily.

In the hut, Zhang Ergou struggled with a lamp and an old clothes. Although the clothes were already riddled with holes, he always felt that they could wear them for a while, so he sewed them again and again. It’s just that a big man (he thinks so) is really not suitable for needlework, no, his finger was pricked again and blood beads came out. He put his fingers in his mouth and sucked, and his thoughts turned to “that thing” again. If you welcome a woman back, you can help the brothers a lot.

The girl from Cao’s family said she was the same age as him, but she was actually a year older than him. Although she was not beautiful, she was healthy and capable, and she was a master at managing the village’s family… He somehow started to follow this idea. It has been spreading, and gradually I began to not listen to what I said, and I didn’t know what thoughts were going on in my mind, and the work in my hand had already been put down.

“Bang bang”, there was a soft knock on the door.

Zhang Ergou, who was caught in his wild thoughts, finally retracted his chaotic thoughts and glanced at the door blankly.

There were two more bangs on the door panel.

“Brother?” Zhang Ergou asked tentatively.

Zhang Dagou usually doesn’t come back so early. When he comes back, he usually doesn’t knock on the door. Instead, he holds his prey in one hand and slams the door with his shoulders, causing the door to make a dull sound. Then he stopped hitting when Zhang Ergou shouted, “Brother, you’re back!” His strength is so great that Zhang Ergou often worries that one day the door will be broken by his brother.

Zhang Ergou asked, but there was no sound outside the door. He was vigilant. He grabbed the hunting knife on the table and asked, “Who?”

After a long while, a timid voice came from outside the door: “Little brother, I am a person who has lost his way in the woods, can you please let me live in the house for one night, in this woods There are all kinds of beasts, and I’m so scared.”

It turned out to be a woman, Zhang Ergou subconsciously wanted to reach out to pull the door, but immediately stopped by the door. In the middle of the night, deep in the mountains and forests, in a place where there are no people for dozens of miles, how could a woman suddenly appear and knock on the door? get lost? What did she do alone in this tiger-infested mountain? How can I get lost here?

Although Zhang Ergou is young, he is not a person to be easily trusted. He stood behind the door and said, “It is inconvenient to be alone in the same room. Please wait for my brother to come back and talk about it.”

“Little brother, do you want to die?” The woman outside the door seemed anxious, slammed the door a few times, and said with a crying voice, “This place is full of man-eating beasts, you have to wait. Now, don’t you just want me to die? You have the heart to see a little girl of mine die at your door, but don’t you stretch out a hand? Little brother, saving a life is better than a seven-level pagoda, little brother, Do your best, don’t wait for death…”

Listening to her voice, Zhang Ergou also felt that as a big man, he shouldn’t let a woman be afraid outside. But he still couldn’t believe the woman outside. After all, in such a deep mountain, any kind of monster could appear. Zhang Ergou once saw a white rabbit sleeping under the shade of a tree. When Zhang Ergou approached slowly and wanted to “harvest” this delicious meal, the white rabbit suddenly turned into a man in white and stood up. stand up. He raised his hand and pushed Zhang Ergou, who was stunned, and slapped the gray soil and grass on his body and flew away. I have also seen a woman standing under a tree and weeping, but when she approached it, there was only a human face on the old tree. I even saw a terrifying scene of an elk preying on a tiger.

Zhang Ergou, who has had such an experience, certainly wouldn’t naively think that the danger in the mountains and forests only comes from those tigers, leopards and wolves. So he also didn’t believe in this woman who shouldn’t be in the forest. He held the hunting knife tightly in his hand, preparing that if anyone outside wanted to break in, he would take a knife by hiding behind the door.

The woman outside the door was still begging, tearfully telling how scared and helpless she was. Listening to her weak cry, Zhang Ergou also felt that his heart was too hard for several times, and he would actually do something that could not be saved. However, reason soon overcame impulsiveness, and he still insisted on not slackening.

The woman was begging and crying outside the door for a while, and more than half an hour had passed. It could be heard that her voice had become hoarse and weak. In such a cold weather, it was just a weak woman’s words, no need for a beast, and just one night of severe cold was enough to kill her.

Just when Zhang Ergou’s heart was extremely contradictory and he didn’t know what to do, the howl of a wild beast could be heard in the distance. At first, it was only sent by the wind in the forest, but then it got closer and closer, and slowly approached the wooden house in the woods.

It’s a pack of wolves. Zhang Ergou, who has lived here for nearly a year, knew it was a wolf howl as soon as he heard it.

This kind of animal is usually easy to deal with, but in winter, when food becomes more and more difficult to find, wolves that originally haunted alone will gather into groups, usually a group of twenty or so roaming through the mountains and forests. The hordes of hungry wolves are extremely terrifying, even if the big bear is not careful, they will be swarmed up and torn to shreds.

Zhang Ergou didn’t understand why the wolves came to the wooden house. Since the two brothers lived here, Zhang Ergou hadn’t seen a daring beast come here for a long time. Maybe it was because he was afraid of Zhang Dagou’s crazy predation, or maybe it was because the wild beasts also seemed to instinctively fear Zhang Dagou, who was so powerful. However, in terms of the number of beasts that Zhang Dagou hunted, their fear is not without reason, which is why Zhang Ergou started to let the woman wait outside, but now, he began to doubt his decision.

“Wolf… wolf… there are wolves…” The woman’s voice became sharp and she slammed on the door: “The wolf is here, the wolf is here, help… help…” Her fingernails were on the door With a creaking scratching sound, it could be seen that she used a lot of strength to pat the door that could save her life in front of her.

As the wolf howling approached, Zhang Ergou couldn’t care about anything else, he hurriedly opened the door, pulled the woman at the door in, and closed the door again. Because the moment he opened the door again, he had already seen a group of no less than thirty hungry wolves with dimly gleaming eyes sticking out their red tongues as they trotted to a place less than ten paces away from the hut.

Will they smash the wooden door if they pounce? Zhang Ergou thought so worriedly, he should protect himself and the woman who was rescued just now when his brother is away. Thinking so, he grabbed the hunting knife in one hand and the door stick in the other, and said to the woman behind him, “Don’t be afraid, if the wolves break in, I’ll stand in front of them and fight them. I’ll be back soon.” He was still a little self-aware of his own abilities, so he pushed his brother out, as long as his brother came back, these hungry wolves would inevitably flee in embarrassment.

“Little brother, you have a good heart.” The woman gently walked behind Zhang Ergou and said. She exhaled like blue, making Zhang Ergou’s neck ticklish, and the faint fragrance that came from made his heart feel like something was scratching gently.

“Little brother, why don’t you look back at me?” the woman said in a coquettish voice.

“Outside, outside, outside, there are wolves…” Zhang Ergou stammered.

“Isn’t the wolf prettier than me?” The woman’s voice became even more gentle, and it turned into a gentle spring breeze, and got into Zhang Ergou’s ear.

Zhang Ergou turned his head and wriggled his lips to say something, but he didn’t say anything, just dropped everything in his hand to the ground. He stared blankly at the woman in front of him, his eyes becoming more and more confused, and finally even the last touch of wisdom was lost, leaving only his constant infatuation with this beautiful woman in front of him.

“It was only after I used the spell twice in a row that I lived with the zombies, but was not eaten by them.” The woman giggled, “It’s still my luck, I found such a delicious ‘thing’ all at once, little guy, come, let my sister taste how you taste…” She stretched her arms around Zhang Ergou, and the other hand began to remove herself and Teenage clothes…

Zhang Dagou roared and fought a black bear, they collided again and again, roared, and shattered the surrounding trees like firewood poles. The bear, who had just eaten enough food to prepare for hibernation, looked very fat and delicious—that’s how Zhang Ergou described this kind of food. For Zhang Dadog, he also prefers stronger food, whose blood contains more “nutrients” and tastes more delicious. Although the black bear is a tyrant in the forest, its opponent is a monster. When the black bear’s strength is slowly exhausted, the opponent is still vigorously fighting, and the strength and speed are not much different from the beginning.

“Oh… oh oh…” Zhang Dagou roared, throwing the black bear into the bushes with one punch, and was ready to pounce on the opponent for the final blow.

“Hey, zombie…” A voice came from under the bushes, in a soft voice, but it didn’t attract Zhang Dagou’s attention at all.

Zhang Dagou swung his hands towards the bear, when a white rabbit emerged from under the bushes, pushed the bear and spat out, “Go away, you’re blocking me.” The bear seemed to be As if receiving amnesty, he got up and turned to run away.

Zhang Dagou made a threatening roar at the white rabbit who had ruined his hunt. Although he could say a few simple words, he was more willing to express his emotions with roars and growls. This little thing is too small, I don’t know if it is enough to eat a bite.

The white rabbit came to him, waved his long ears and said, “Your brother is about to be sucked up by the fox, and you are still in the mood to chase bears here.”

Zhang Dagou didn’t understand his words for a while, and continued to make that sound in his throat.

“A vixen has fallen in love with your brother, and is seducing him, and is going to use him as a supplement. Do you understand.”

“Ow…” Although the white rabbit said a lot of terms that he couldn’t understand, Zhang Dagou finally understood a little – his brother was in danger now, so after a long growl, he strode towards Run in the direction of the hut. His speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he became a small black spot in the white rabbit’s eyes.

The White Rabbit stretched out his hind legs and said to himself, “I came here to report a letter, but I didn’t even say thank you…” It squinted and curled up, “I wonder if this zombie can support her under her hands. How long? They are also two brothers…and two brothers…” He muttered to himself, jumping away in the direction where Zhang Dagou disappeared.

When Zhang Dagou kicked open the door and rushed into the house, the woman and Zhang Ergou were both lying on the bed, their naked bodies entangled with each other. Hearing Zhang Dagou’s roar, the woman sat up from the book and waved away Zhang Ergou, who wanted to hug her. She didn’t care that she was naked. She stood up and walked towards Zhang Dagou, as if a Like a wife welcoming her husband’s return, she smiled and said, “You are back.”

Zhang Dagou turned a blind eye to her, his eyes just stared at Zhang Ergou who was wriggling on the bed and made a sound of unknown meaning. The long and sharp fingernails of the ten fingers emit a faint light.

The woman looked up and down at Zhang Dagou, smiled sweetly at him and said, “Can I stay at your house for one night? I don’t mind the three of us sleeping in the same bed.” Her eyes were as soft as Countless silk threads circled towards Zhang Dagou. She confidently believed that this low-level zombie with little thinking ability would become her own prisoner in a second. Although she has no interest in such low-level monsters, she really likes the feeling of two brothers surrounding her.

“Ow…” Zhang Dagou turned a blind eye to her wink, and grabbed her with a slap on the head. The fox girl fluttered away gently, making Zhang Dagou’s attack unsuccessful. Zhang Dagou persevered and chased after him.

“Ignorant low-level monsters!” The fox demon pouted in disdain, Zhang Dagou’s attack power is so powerful that it is completely incoherent. It may be powerful and deadly to animals, but it is really worthless to monsters. Mentioning. “I haven’t even made a single alchemy, so I dare to take care of the old lady’s business!” She pushed Zhang Ergou away with a sneer and walked towards Zhang Dagou.

Zhang Da Gou roared and greeted Hao with a paw and a paw, but every time he was dodged by the fox girl with a light movement, her mouth always had that sarcastic smile. In her eyes, fighting with this kind of opponent is not much like a cat-and-mouse fight. The opponent has no capital to fight with her. When he fails and when he dies, it all depends on when he is in the mood.

While dodging Zhang Dagou’s attack, the fox girl looked at Zhang Ergou. She liked this handsome little boy very much, not only because of his good looks, but also because he lived in the mountains for a long time, he was also very energetic. , the fox girl estimates that he can play with himself for a long time. The current Zhang Ergou has not yet come out of her confusion, huddled in the corner of the room alone, fighting face to face, with a confused expression on his face. His current mind is troubled by the fox girl’s seduction technique, and he only has the idea of ​​making out with the fox girl. Of course, he will do anything for this idea, and now he has completely forgotten who he is, his relatives, and his own life. , Every word and deed, he only hung on the fox girl wholeheartedly.

The fox girl looked at him, and then at the anxious Zhang Dagou, and suddenly had an interesting idea in her life.

“Kill him for me!” When Zhang Ergou was fascinated by the fox girl’s every move, her soft “voice” suddenly sounded in his heart, as if a small hand was gently scratching on his heart.

“I’ll be happy if you kill him… okay…”

Zhang Ergou’s whole body trembled at her coquettish voice, and he subconsciously held the hunting knife in the corner of the wall in his hand.

The figure who was fighting with the fox girl, but whose existence he had been ignoring, gradually became clear. He looked at this hateful man who was fighting with the goddess in his mind, and the knife in his hand became tighter and tighter. , as long as he hits him, his goddess will be happy, and he may be able to get a chance to kiss Fang Ze, as long as he can do it…

Zhang Dagou’s entire attention was on the fox girl, and he was unaware of the strange actions of his younger brother behind him, and Zhang Ergou gestured with a knife in his hand behind him, which he simply thought It was the younger brother who wanted to step forward to help him. While he was attacking the fox girl, he suddenly turned around and grabbed Zhang Ergou. The fox girl was startled, thinking that he had discovered his plan and wanted to get rid of Zhang Ergou to avoid future troubles. Before playing with the ground, the fox girl was reluctant to let him suffer any damage, so she immediately hit Zhang Dagou with her sleeves, making a “bang” sound like hitting hard leather, although the fox girl’s original intention was to catch people, until Zhang Dagou’s body blocked it before he switched to attacking. Although Zhang Dagou’s body is very strong now, this blow still made him growl in pain. The dog pushed out of the hut, and then savagely pounced on the fox girl again.

It turned out that he just wanted to protect his younger brother, and he was really brotherly. The corner of the fox girl’s mouth showed a mocking smile.

Zhang Ergou was sitting on the icy snow, still confused, when the fox girl’s voice sounded from the bottom of her heart again: “Hey, he is so deeply in love… Hey, good brother, you just Watching him bully me, don’t you come to help me? You want to watch me die… Do you both ignore me…”

Zhang Ergou looked inside the house, Zhang Dagou’s claws and claws could not stop attacking the timid body, the peach-like face was slightly sweaty, and Zhang Ergou suddenly felt angry. Burning, holding the machete in his hand, he stood up and walked towards the house. Zhang Dagou grunted dissatisfiedly after sensing that his younger brother had come back, but the fox girl with ulterior motives started to attack and held it back. His attention, so that he can not be distracted to take care of his younger brother behind him, a zombie who loves his loved ones? This is really a joke. It must be a very interesting thing if the person he wants to protect slashes at him with a knife. The fox girl looked at Zhang Ergou holding the knife in both hands, her eyes were boiling with anger, and she moved towards Zhang Da step by step. The dog approached behind her, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and the waves in her eyes rippling like spring water.

Zhang Ergou approached step by step, and the opponent’s back was in front of him. At this time, he raised his head and saw the sweet smile of the goddess in his heart. His blood boiled, and he raised his knife high, aiming at this man who dared to bully him. woman”.

But just as he was about to cut it down, a thought suddenly appeared in his heart: Everything my brother does is for my own good! He is for my good.

Zhang Ergou shook his head in confusion, not understanding how such a strange idea suddenly popped up in his mind, what is his brother… Zhang Ergou had already forgotten everything in the world at this time, and all he had left in his mind was The seductive figure of the fox girl, even the idea of ​​his brother, just flashed in his mind. Seeing that he was hesitant, the fox girl urged him again and again, and under her voice “calling”, Zhang Ergou waved his knife again and walked towards his brother.

“You, get out! I don’t need you!” Zhang Dagou’s unique voice sounded as if rolling deep in his throat, he saw his younger brother coming with a knife, and once again regarded him as a helper. Zhang Ergou was going to attack him, but after listening to his orders, he subconsciously obeyed his orders. In the past few years, he has been living under the protection of his brother every day, and following Zhang Dagou’s arrangements has become his life. A kind of instinct, even the powerful charm of the fox girl could not make it disappear.

“What are you doing? Slash him!” Seeing Zhang Ergou flinching over and over again, the fox girl couldn’t hold her breath. Shouted out.

When Zhang Ergou heard her angry and anxious voice, he made a clever move, and immediately hit Zhang Dagou with a knife.

Zhang Dagou heard the fox girl’s cry, and he was already prepared in his heart. He easily flashed his knife and roared at Zhang Ergou. Zhang Dagou’s heart was full of puzzlement, why did his younger brother, who has always been with him, suddenly obey this monster and attack him suddenly?

But the fox girl didn’t give him a chance to ask questions or fight back. The fox girl used her sleeves to fly a “snatch”, trapping Zhang Dagou inside. With the difference in strength between her and Zhang Dagou, if you want to deal with Zhang Dagou, you can easily start at any time. But out of malice in her heart, she insisted that Zhang Dagou be cut by her younger brother Zhang Ergou. If this zombie died in the hands of his younger brother who was dedicated to protecting him, she would definitely be extremely angry at that time, unwilling and desperate, that would be the case. It’s a very exciting scene, and the fox girl doesn’t want to miss it. And if Zhang Ergou kills his brother, his mind will be more confused and fragile, and he will be able to control him better.

Zhang Dagou roared again and again, but Zhang Ergou’s machete slashed at him one after another without hesitation. It is beautiful, but no matter how much strength Zhang Dagou uses, he can only be carried away by the opponent, and can only be trapped in the gap formed by the flying sleeves of the opponent. Zhang Ergou’s attacks always came from behind him. Zhang Dagou found himself under the control of the fox girl and lost his ability to defend against attacks from his younger brother. He was slashed several times in a short while. Fortunately, his flesh and blood Sturdy, Zhang Ergou’s few knives only hurt his outer skin, without substantial damage, but the attack from his younger brother itself made him more puzzled than the damage caused by the attack. The anger and pain made him rise and fall with Zhang Ergou’s knife, and let out a roar that was higher than one sound.

Zhang Ergou himself doesn’t know why, when he hits the opponent, part of the strength in his hand will always dissipate unconsciously. He knew that the more he hurt the other party, the more his goddess would be happy, but at the last moment, his body would withdraw some of his power as if he didn’t obey orders. He was very angry with himself, especially when the goddess looked at him with sad and complaining eyes again and again, he would think that he did not do his best for the goddess’s will, what a shame and unforgivable thing. He fought with his subconscious with all his strength, and finally the fox girl gave him another order: “I’m so scared, you kill him for me, I will serve you well.” These coquettish voices Motivated by his expression and tone, Zhang Ergou shouted, jumped up and held the knife in both hands, the blade slashed heavily into Zhang Dagou’s waist.

“Ow…” Zhang Dagou let out an earth-shattering roar. He ignored the sleeves thrown by the fox girl, turned his head and glared at Zhang Ergou, his throat rattled for a moment, and finally he said: “Er dog, why did you hurt me…” He rolled up his legs by pressing the fox girl’s sleeves, threw him out, and smashed him heavily on the wooden bed.

Zhang Ergou held a machete in his hand and stood blankly in the middle of the room. Zhang Dagou’s shout just now seemed to pour him a basin of ice water, which made his sanity recover a little. He was gasping for breath, all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but when his eyes fell on the beautiful face of the fox girl, everything around him seemed to lose its color gradually, only her face was left.

The fox girl’s sleeves were raised, and Zhang Dagou was rolled up from the bed and thrown on the ground. She smiled and didn’t attack until Zhang Dagou lunged at her with fangs and claws, and then she swayed again. He sighed at Zhang Ergou and said, “It’s a pity, you almost became my savior, come on, give him a stab like you just did, give him a slash.”

Zhang Ergou immediately picked up the knife again and walked towards Zhang Dagou, who stumbled during the flowing attack of the Fox Girl.

“Er Gou… Er Gou… You actually…” Zhang Dagou, whose language ability had not fully recovered, barked from the depths of his throat, expressing his shock and shock with the few words he could utter. unwilling.

Zhang Ergou’s eyes flickered, and the fox girl suddenly felt that this young man was breaking free from his seduction technique, just like a fish in a net still struggling to squeeze out a hole that had already been broken. The fishing net, though difficult and slow, was full of hope, for the hole in the net was widening as he struggled, making his break free constantly quicker.

How is that possible! The fox girl opened her eyes in disbelief.

Since she cultivated seduction, there are countless men who have been seduced by her, some of them are demons, and there are even some well-founded monks. There has never been a man who can fall into her charm. Can break free after the middle. There are only two ways to escape from her hands: one is to listen to the essence and die, and the other is that she gets tired of playing and throws the other party away like a piece of rags. But now this little boy shows signs that he is about to get rid of her control, how can she not be surprised.

The fox girl chose Zhang Ergou as her target, first of all because of the strong physique and spirit that he had cultivated while living in the mountains. Secondly, I like his handsome appearance in my heart. The fox girl who has lived in the forest for a period of time has no doll man around for a while – the monsters here are either something she can’t afford, or she knows that she is hiding She was guarding her, and the nearby villagers were all stupid, and she couldn’t really despise him, so she immediately targeted Zhang Ergou after seeing him. Although she observed the strange “brother” beside Zhang Ergou, she didn’t take him seriously at all. Unexpectedly, it was this young man who she thought was caught by her hand, and now she was a little overwhelmed.

“Little brother, why don’t you help the slave family…” The fox girl’s softer voice sounded in Zhang Ergou’s ears, she stretched her jade arms around Zhang Ergou’s neck, exhaling like a blue face Zhang Ergou’s ears spoke, his lips touched his earlobe lightly, which brought a crisp and itchy feeling, which made Zhang Ergou’s eyes immediately confused and turbid.

When Zhang Dagou saw her going to hold down his brother, he immediately rushed towards her, and the fox girl sneered, because Zhang Ergou was almost strangled, she had already planned to end the fight as soon as possible. She shot like electricity, and with a few tricks, she firmly grasped Zhang Dagou in her hands. Although Zhang Dagou was extremely powerful, in the hands of this slender woman, she couldn’t even struggle.

“Come, kill him for me!” the fox girl said to Zhang Ergou, “cut off his head, he can no longer bully me, come, come, you are my husband, you should Protect me, vent your anger for me, come on, as long as you kill him, we can be together, tonight I will be yours…” In her very seductive voice, Zhang Ergou raised a knife He repeatedly exchanged his hands several times, and then walked with Zhang Dagou.

Zhang Dagou saw his younger brother’s face full of murderous intent, and came over with a twisted look, his eyes fixed on his neck. He was frightened, frightened and hated, struggling with all his might. But the power of that fox girl made him like a little flying insect stuck by a cobweb. The more he struggled, the tighter the quilt was bound.

Zhang Ergou had already approached and raised the knife in his hand towards him.

Zhang Dagou suddenly gave up his struggle, and choked a few times from his throat: “Er Gou, you want to kill me…”

Zhang Ergou watched as a string of tears rolled down his face, the knife in his hand paused for a moment, and he cut it down with all his strength, but just as it was about to fall on Zhang Dagou’s neck, his The wrist suddenly flipped, the machete changed direction, and took the fox girl’s throat. The fox girl had no choice but to push Zhang Dagou forward, causing the two brothers to collide, becoming a rolling gourd, and she stepped back again and again. It took a few steps to escape. But a few strands of broken hair floating around her neck still showed how dangerous the situation just now was to her. The fox girl clenched her silver teeth, her eyes glowed dimly, her hands stretched out her fingernails, and her fangs protruded from her mouth. She has already had a murderous intention towards both brothers, so of course she doesn’t have to pretend to be that charming and charming in front of Zhang Ergou.

Seeing that the stunning beauty instantly turned into a banshee, Zhang Ergou made a clever attack, and the seductive magic that the fox girl put on him was finally completely broken. He rushed to Zhang Dagou’s side, stretched out his machete and pointed at the fox girl: “Brother, she, she is a monster…”

Zhang Dagou grunted a few times in his throat, expressing his joy at his younger brother’s awakening. Zhang Ergou’s brain is not very clear, and he has a vague understanding of what happened just now, but he knows very well that this banshee with a fox tail in front of him is full of malice towards his brother. He stared at the demon girl nervously, and now he knew he was afraid, and involuntarily moved his body behind Zhang Dagou.

“Two people who don’t know how to live or die, how dare they go against me!” Now the fox girl no longer takes Zhang Ergou, the “ruyi man” seriously, she can’t wait to tear them all to shreds immediately, and then give birth to a child. Eat their flesh to offset the frustration they caused her.

“Brother, what should we do?” Zhang Ergou asked Zhang Dagou in a low voice. When he saw the live monsters, he was naturally afraid, and the first thought that came to him was, of course, whether he could escape.

Zhang Dagou stopped him behind him and posed an attacking stance towards the fox girl.

How could the fox girl really put her hands in the eyes of this unhealthy zombie? Within a few moments of confrontation, she had already slapped Zhang Dagou out. After a bang, dust and dirt fell on the wall, and Zhang Dagou knocked a crack out of the plastered wall. When Zhang Dagou saw the fox girl pounced on Zhang Ergou again, he immediately got up from the ground and threw himself at the fox girl again, but he was knocked down again within a few seconds. This time, he only heard a click, and the fox girl broke his arm with his bare hands. one leg.

Zhang Dagou fell to the ground, watching helplessly as the fox girl grabbed her younger brother, he roared loudly, and pushed his hands on the ground, his whole body slid forward like he was on ice, and hugged the fox girl The legs, not only took her a few steps and pushed her firmly against the wall, but also bit her calf with hatred, raised her head, and her fangs drove a large piece of clothing and flesh, and then bowed her head. bite again.

The fox girl let out a painful scream, and waved her hand at Zhang Dagou several times, but the other party insisted that she would not let go. The fox girl was also confused by the pain for a while, and she didn’t even use the spell. When she reacted, when she raised her hand and struck Zhang Dagou’s head with a thunderbolt, Zhang Dagou had already gnawed a big hole in her leg.

When the thunder of the palm hit him, Zhang Dagou let out a sullen roar, and the smell of burning flesh suddenly came from his body, but he didn’t let go, he still hugged the fox girl’s legs tightly, biting her tightly. calf. The fox girl struck two thunders in her palm again, and then with a swipe of her finger, a dagger with a cold light appeared in her hand, swayed it, and stabbed the charred big dog that had been struck by the thunder.

With the sound of “clang…”, Zhang Ergou rushed over desperately and blocked Ye’s dagger with a machete~IndoMTL.com~ The fox girl retracted her sword and stabbed Zhang Ergou again, but was caught by Zhang Dagou under her feet. With a forceful drag, her center of gravity was unsteady and she was not stabbed.

Zhang Ergou dodged her lightning-fast sword, immediately held the sword in both hands, and slashed towards her head.

The two brothers attacked each other one after the other, and Linghu Girl was in a hurry and was overwhelmed. After finally getting a space, the fox girl flicked her fingers, and a flash of fire flashed across. Zhang Dagou’s arms were broken by shoulders. She kicked away Zhang Dagou, who lost both arms, and tore it off from her legs. Her fingers had already dipped into her fleshy arm, and she threw it at Zhang Dagou cursing.

Zhang Ergou shouted hoarsely; “Brother…” His eyes were bloodshot, and he threw his usual cowardice and cowardice into the clouds. He slapped more than a dozen times in the face, then stretched out his hand to grab his neck, and sneered and folded his fingers.

Zhang Dagou jumped over on one leg and slammed his head into her waist. The fox girl fluttered and let his head hit the wall. Zhang Ergou, who was scratching and scratching on the fox girl’s hand, took advantage of the situation. Holding her clothes in his hands, he tore off half of her clothes with a swish, revealing her snow-white shoulders and red breasts. Although the fox girl was flirtatious and promiscuous, she was still stunned after her clothes were torn open. Zhang Ergou took the opportunity to break free of her hand and rushed to Zhang Dagou’s side, helping him up.

“I will never forgive you…” The fox girl was repeatedly frustrated by the two brothers, her hands were full of shame and anger, her hands were empty, and the two brothers flew up and fell in two directions, both fell heavily to the ground, Zhang Ergou suddenly He was knocked out of breath, but Zhang Dagou was disabled with three limbs and could not move for a while.
