Zhang Mu said with a smile: "Isn't that right? After Bao'er rescued you that day... Oh, it's Quanzi. When I went to the county seat the next day, I saw officials and soldiers all over the street looking for you. Even in our hometown
A lot of people came here and asked about you, and only then did I know what was going on."
Xu Zizhen breathed a long sigh of relief, and all the officials were mobilized to look for him. It seemed that Zhao Gou was definitely out of danger, and the trap that had been set up for so long finally had a good result.
Zhang Mu added: "Oh, by the way, it seems that besides official officials, there are many people looking for you. They don't look like good people, and some of them don't even look like us Song people."
Xu Zizhen felt warm in his heart. He knew that these must be his brothers from the Shenji Camp. At this moment, he couldn't help but become anxious, wishing to find them immediately and tell them that he was still alive.
"Brother Zhang, have you ever..." Xu Zizhen hesitated, wanting to ask Zhang Mu if he had told his brothers the news.
Zhang Mu said: "It is hard to say that there is no meticulous work by the Jin people in the Daming Mansion. I will not reveal this news before ensuring your safety."
It was rare for a simple villager to have such wisdom and calmness. Xu Zizhen felt ashamed. Even he had not thought of this. If Wu Shu knew that he was here, a golden man would soon be chasing him.
.
Bao'er interjected from the side and said: "Uncle, just rest assured and recover at my house. I will go to Daming Mansion to send you a message. Just tell me who to call."
Xu Zizhen touched his head and said with a smile: "Thank you very much."
Baoer smiled innocently, looking very shy, but just as he was about to speak, he heard a banging on the door from outside, followed by an impatient shout: "Open the door!"
Zhang Mu looked out of the window and saw a few golden soldiers' hats shaking vaguely outside the door. His face suddenly changed and he said in a voiceless voice: "No, the golden dog is here!"
Xu Zizhen was surprised. This is now the junction of Song and Jin Dynasties. It is not surprising that Jin Bing would appear. However, he had just woken up not long ago and was seriously injured and could hardly walk normally. At this time, Jin Bing discovered that there was nothing he could do.
escape.
Zhang Muteng stood up and helped Xu Zizhen up. Bao'er helped him and quickly came to the back of the house. There was an open space here with stone locks, knives, guns and other objects. It looked like the place where the Zhang family and his son practiced martial arts on weekdays.
Without waiting for a greeting, Bao'er ran to a large stone millstone and pulled it hard to reveal a cellar.
The two of them carefully helped Xu Zizhen in. Zhang Mu asked Bao'er to get in, and said in a deep voice, "Bao'er, take care of your Uncle Xu. No matter what happens later, you are not allowed to come out. Do you understand?"
Bao'er's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded. Zhang Mu used force to return the millstone to its original position. At this time, the door was smashed even harder, accompanied by angry curses: "Open the door quickly! If you don't open it, I will smash it."
Got it!"
"Coming, coming!" Zhang Mu responded loudly and ran out quickly.
Xu Zizhen endured the pain in his chest and hid in the cellar, holding his breath and not daring to make a sound.
The door finally opened, and there were five golden soldiers outside. Their faces were full of impatience. One golden soldier took the lead and whipped him over, yelling: "What took you so long?"
Zhang Mu couldn't dodge and was slapped on the face, and a trace of blood suddenly appeared. He suppressed his anger, bowed and apologized and said with a smile: "The villain happened to be paying tribute. I forgive you."
A Jin soldier glanced at him sideways: "What a coincidence? I'm afraid there's someone hiding in your family?"
Zhang Mu had a look of fear on his face: "No, no, this little man's house has only four walls. If you don't believe me, go in and have a look."
Several Jin soldiers pushed him open and broke into the door. As soon as they entered, they saw that there were only three rooms in the yard. They were old and dilapidated. They couldn't tell the difference. They kicked one room open and looked at it. They saw that there was only a wooden bed in the room.
There was a table, but there were no other furnishings, so it was impossible to hide anyone. The room at the east end was just a stove, with nothing else except two bundles of dry firewood and an iron pot.
Zhang Mu was not in a hurry. When he helped Xu Zizhen into the cellar just now, he rolled up his quilt with him. Even if he went to the last room to look, he wouldn't find anything.
Several golden soldiers kicked open the last room. One golden soldier only glanced at it and lost interest: "Let's go to the next room."
"Wait a minute." A Jin soldier who was looking at the leader suddenly waved his hand to stop the others and stepped into the house. Zhang Mu suddenly felt something bad and turned his eyes secretly to the back of the door. There was a simple knife there.
, the edge of the knife is sharpened.
Jin Bing entered the house, looked around, and asked, "How many people are in your family?"
Zhang Mu said: "Just the villain and the dog."
The Jin Bing nodded, suddenly walked over and touched the bed board. His expression suddenly changed, he turned and pointed at Zhang Mu and shouted: "This bed board is still warm. Where did the person sleeping here go?"
Zhang Mu was shocked, but he forced a smile and defended: "This house is occupied by a villain and a dog. I don't know where he went and went crazy right now."
The Jin Bing looked gloomy and shouted: "How dare you talk nonsense? Just now I saw clearly that there were two pillows on the bed in your main room. Why is your son sleeping in this room again? Get them for me!"
Several other Jin soldiers shouted around. Zhang Mu retreated violently, kicked the door shut, and grabbed the simple knife behind the door. The groveling look on his face was gone.
Just anger and madness: "Since you don't listen to good words, then let the dog live!"
…
Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth and huddled motionless in the cellar. His forehead was covered with cold sweat. There seemed to be an angry shout coming from outside the cellar just now, but then there was no sound. Maybe the stone mill blocked the sound.
, but the quieter it was, the more nervous and uneasy it made him feel.
An unknown amount of time passed in the darkness. Just when Xu Zizhen was about to rush out of the cellar to see what was going on, a weak call came from outside: "Bao'er, come out."
Bao'er couldn't hold it back anymore, he jumped up when he heard the sound, and slowly moved the stone mill away from the inside. The light reappeared, and the sun shone down. Xu Zizhen couldn't help but squinted his eyes, but before he opened his eyes, Bao'er heard Bao'er's voice.
The son cried out loudly: "Dad!"
Xu Zizhen was so shocked that he could no longer care about the pain in his chest. He struggled to hold on to the inner wall of the cellar and crawled out. When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but froze.
I saw a long trail of blood on the ground from the door of the house where I just lived to the cellar, and Zhang Mu was sitting by the stone mill, covering his stomach with one hand and gently stroking Bao'er's head with the other.
There was a loving smile on her face, but there was a deep reluctance in her eyes.
"Brother Zhang!" Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth and crawled out of the cellar. Everything in his arms was still there. He stretched out his hand and took out a small bamboo tube, which was the fine knife medicine given to him by Zhuo Ya. "Quick, Bao'er.
Give your dad medicine quickly!"
Zhang Mu smiled and shook his head, and let go of his hand covering his stomach: "My wound is too deep, and there is no use in applying medicine."
Xu Zizhen stayed there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning. There was an incision on Zhang Mu's stomach, which almost cut him open horizontally. A large section of intestines flowed out, and there was already a large pool of blood under his body.
It seemed impossible to survive.
