Zhang Huan changed his clothes, packed up his clothes and curtsied hastily, and found his mother, Zhang Qin, who was helping people wash clothes by the river.
He persuaded his mother to escape with him, but Zhang Qin was unwilling.
Zhang Qin said: "My child, I know you have been wronged and can't stand these bad people who bully you, but as long as you grow up and have the ability to support your family, your life will naturally get better."
Zhang Huan said angrily: "What skills should I learn? Mom! They didn't even give me a chance to work part-time. My family doesn't even have rice for the next day. I'll starve to death in two days. How can I grow up?"
Zhang Qin hugged Zhang Huan, touched his face, and comforted him: "Huan'er, it's okay. As long as I find more part-time jobs, I can help people with laundry and cooking during the day, and I can work as a waitress in a tavern at night."
You can also sew some clothes with me, so that even if you lose your day job, we can grit our teeth and live on!"
Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment. He didn't think so much. When Zhang San's son stopped him from doing part-time work, he felt that the sky was falling. He would have no livelihood in the future and his family would not be able to survive at all.
Zhang Qin was still chattering to Zhang Huan about the details of her plan, how she had agreed on the price with Mrs. Liu from the tailor shop, and how she had figured out how to support the family. Zhang Huan just said
Since I can stay at home and like to read, I might be able to borrow a few books for him to read.
Speaking of rising, Zhang Qin's eyes seemed to have light shining again, it was a light called hope.
"Ahhhh!" Among the women washing clothes by the river with Zhang Qin, a young woman suddenly pointed in the direction of Zhang Huan and shouted.
When everyone looked, it turned out that there was a cloth bag on Zhang Huan's waist. Blood was constantly leaking from it, dripping on the ground and flowing into the river. The woman was washing clothes when she noticed that the river water had turned red. She looked towards the source.
Only then did I find the bloody bag.
Zhang Qin had some guesses in her mind at this time, but she still asked her son with a forced smile: "Huan'er, what do you have in this bag? Did you go to the mountains to hunt rabbits?"
Zhang Huan suddenly realized that even though he had killed too hastily, it was already too late. He could only escape with his mother in time. The officers and soldiers would come to arrest him at any time. He could no longer persuade his mother slowly and had to resort to ruthless tactics.
So he said to his mother: "Mom, I have killed Zhang Sanraizi and there is no turning back. You can escape with me! I know you may not believe it, so I brought his head to you."
, What’s in this bag is his head!”
Zhang Huan opened the bag and showed it to his mother, Zhang Qin. Sure enough, there was a hideous-looking human head inside.
Zhang Qin was startled and took a step back, almost falling into the river, but was pulled back by Zhang Huan.
After seeing the head, Zhang Qin lost her plan and was completely devastated. Zhang Huan pulled her to run. They first threw the head into a pit outside the village, and then the two of them did not take the main road, but
Cross the river to the other side and run in the direction of the rebels.
After running for a while, Zhang Qin couldn't run anymore. The shoes she was wearing were not suitable for going out. She didn't eat last night or this morning. She squatted by the river and washed clothes for most of the day. She didn't have much energy left.
Already.
At such a young age, Zhang Huan was able to kill Zhang San Laizi. It was amazing. He did not expect these problems. Moreover, the sun was very strong today. Although the water on his body and the footprints behind him were dried, it took more time to escape.
Lots of stamina.
Zhang Qin took Zhang Huan's hand and said, "Huan'er, mother can't run anymore. You can run outside by yourself and I'll take them in a circle. This way at least you can survive! Besides, mother doesn't have many people.
They won't catch me."
Zhang Huan refused. He could listen to his mother and be a filial son to prevent Zhang Qin from being angry. But he was still a young child after all. No child would be willing to abandon his mother, no matter what Zhang Qin did.
Zhang Huan just refused.
Tears filled Zhang Qin's eyes, but she kept a straight face and severely scolded her always filial son. But this time, no matter how harshly Zhang Qin spoke, Zhang Huan refused to leave. There was no other way.
The two could only rest in place for half an hour before continuing to set off hungry.
Along the way, the two of them walked slower and slower. Zhang Huan even started to chew grass to fill his stomach. Zhang Qin's eyes were filled with soreness. She had brought her child to such a big age, and it seemed like she didn't even have enough food for the whole day.
After feeding him, she felt that she was not a good mother.
The two supported each other, encouraged each other, and also dragged each other down. It was late at night and they hadn't gone far. Zhang Huan thought the bedding was too heavy and didn't take it out, so the two had to hug each other to keep warm, with their heads resting on the bundle.
, fell asleep while dealing with it.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, a loud noise suddenly appeared. Zhang Huan reluctantly opened his eyes and found that the sky was slightly bright and there were fires everywhere in the mountains. An unknown number of people were chasing after them with torches, and the noise was caused by the hunting dogs of the Deng family.
Sent out.
There was no way, Zhang Huan and Zhang Qin didn't go too far at all. Even if Zhang Huan had an idea and crossed the river to get rid of the smell of blood on his body, the smell of the two of them was still there, so someone else took the quilt and let the hunting dogs smell it.
, and chased him all the way.
As the sky gradually grew brighter, Zhang Huan and Zhang Qin were caught hiding in the grass, but to their surprise, it was their second uncle Zhang Pan who led the team to capture the two.
Just as Zhang Qin was about to get close to her brother-in-law, Zhang Pan kicked her in the heart. Zhang Qin was bleeding immediately from the kick and lay on the ground moaning and screaming in pain.
Zhang Panyi swore righteously: "You are a poisonous woman. Once you marry into my Zhang family, you will do nothing good. You killed my brother without saying a word. Now look at what Zhang Huan has become under your leadership. At such a young age, he has
Kill people! It’s all because you, a poisonous woman, didn’t teach you well!”
Zhang Huan immediately rushed forward and knelt on the ground begging for mercy: "Second uncle, it's all my fault. It was my mistake. I shouldn't have killed anyone, but it has nothing to do with my mother! I stole the sickle and killed the person myself.
, will you spare my mother?"
Zhang Pan kicked his nephew Zhang Huan away and said fiercely: "Spare your mother? Bah! I should have beaten her to death a long time ago. She is a poisonous woman and the bane of her father, husband and children. I will kick her to death today!"
Zhang Huan became anxious and knocked away his second uncle Zhang Pan to protect his mother Zhang Qin.
Zhang Qin vomited blood in her mouth and was speechless. She could only shake her head desperately and tell Zhang Huan not to come over.
