A ragged cub at the beginning

The cellar fell silent. Tang Xu suddenly thought that his family might be worried about his sudden disappearance. Would Qiyue cry? Old Madam Du was so old, and she still worried about her. He was too impulsive. He should have told her.

I wonder if Du Yun has come back yet. I miss him a little. If he comes back today and finds that I am missing...

You’re going to get scolded when you get back, right?

I've been smelling the smell here for so long that I'm a little numb...

Tang Xu was lost in thought when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching and the door was opened. She quickly dodged to the side, hid in the shadows and stood up. She could barely touch the wooden board with her hands raised.

A black shadow fell from above with a muffled sound. She bounced on the ground and rolled towards Tang Xu's feet.

"Bang", the board closed again.

The girl looks very young and not very tall.

Tang Xu patted her face, but there was no response. She was squeezed unconscious again.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the woodshed, followed by the sound of something being dragged. Considering what No. 5 said before, it should be the time to start cooking and move the firewood.

Is it lunch time already?

"How are we going to get out?" Number Four suddenly spoke up, his voice filled with tears.

"There will be a way." Tang Xu looked at the faint light above, "I will take you out."

In the darkness, there was another small sob. She seemed to be trying hard to hold it back, and she even covered her mouth with her hands, but she still cried in fear.

In order to comfort them, Tang Xu started chatting with them, "My name is Tang Xu, what are your names?"

"me……"

"Are you Tang Xu? Tang Xu from Qingyang Kindergarten?" She heard the voice of No. 4, her tone was full of surprise, and she even rushed over. "Are you Tang Xu from Qingyang Kindergarten?"

Tang Xu supported her, "I am, do you know me?"

"I've heard of you! You helped Wang Xiaoyu from our village! You are so awesome! You brought people to beat up her man! You helped her! Was it you?" Number Four grabbed her arm excitedly.

"Um, it's me." Tang Xu was not used to such close contact with people, and gently broke free from her hand.

"I've also heard that in order to protect newborn babies, the mayor's wife gives money to these people. As long as they don't abandon the babies, they can come to her for money every year." Number Five also spoke up.

"Is it that female Bodhisattva? I've heard of her too!" Number One also came over.

"What female Bodhisattva?" Number Two sobbed, not knowing what was going on.

"Which one?" Number Three didn't understand either.

"You will definitely rescue us. I believe you." Number Four said affirmatively.

"My name is Wu Yulin." Number Five said softly.

"My name is Wang Xiaomei!" Voice No. 4 became happy.

"My name is Zhao Caicai." said No. 1.

"Zhang Duoduo." Number two.

"Wang Xiaoyu." Number three.

Everyone matched their numbers, and Tang Xu even gained a fan. Number 4 seemed to really admire her and stayed by her side the whole time.

The atmosphere in the cellar seemed to become much more relaxed. Tang Xu took out a handful of pine nut candies and distributed them to them.

With hope and after eating sweet candies, the girls' fears dissipated a little.

Time passed quickly, and the sound of dragging firewood came from upstairs again, and there was also a faint sound of noisy voices.

The light from the wooden board became dimmer and dimmer, and the sound of dragging footsteps was heard.

coming!

Tang Xu hid under the wooden board, ready to drag the man down the moment he dropped the bucket.

Wu Yulin held Tang Xu back, "Wait, there are others."

"Old man, wait a minute, I'll pull someone up." It was Zhuzi's voice.

Tang Xu stepped back, having a bad feeling.

The wooden board was opened, and the dim light shone down. Tang Xu couldn't help but squint. "Take the light, I'll go downstairs."

A wooden ladder was thrown down, and tall figures climbed down from above, blocking out all the light and casting huge black shadows on the walls of the cellar.

But in the last few seconds, the light shone on Tang Xu's face. She just raised her hand to cover her eyes. Zhuzi reached out his hand and she instinctively dodged.

"Come here, don't refuse my toast and then drink the forfeit." Zhuzi threatened.

Tang Xu hid his hands in his sleeves and took two steps forward hesitantly.

Zhuzi bowed and made way for the exit, "Go up."

Tang Xu did as he was told. Above the exit stood an old man with a hunched back. His wrinkled skin piled on his face, and his triangular eyes swept across Tang Xu and fell back to the ground.

"Let's go." Zhuzi pushed Tang Xu.

Outside the woodshed was a cramped little courtyard. The lights in the main room were bright, and several people could be seen sitting in the living room.

When I got closer, I saw two middle-aged men with big beards sitting at a messy table.

The old woman from the daytime was also on the side. When she saw Tang Xu, she laughed contemptuously.

There was another old woman standing by holding a wine jar. When she saw Tang Xu, her eyes widened and her mouth moved, as if she wanted to say something. When her eyes fell on the pillar behind Tang Xu, she lowered her head again.

"Wow, this girl is really good-looking." The man in gray touched his chin and gave an obscene smile.

"Brother, can you let me play with it after you've played with it?" The other man in blue narrowed his eyes, looked Tang Xu up and down, and licked his lips.

Tang Xu gritted her teeth and was about to explode, but the pillar behind her pushed her again.

"How about we go together?" Zhuzi's hand stopped on her shoulder and tended to move downward.

Tang Xu turned around suddenly, and the dagger in his hand accurately stabbed into the opponent's throat. Zhuzi's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he fell to the ground slowly without making a sound.

She was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was not the wooden doll at home.

She, killed someone... ?

Shuanzi and Qiangzi were still staring at Tang Xu's buttocks when suddenly there was a muffled sound and glaring blood gushed out like a gushing spring, splashing all over Tang Xu.

It was hot and smelly. She threw away the dagger and took two steps back.

Murder! She killed a person! A living person!

"Brother!" Shuanzi jumped up and slapped Tang Xu on the back of the head.

Tang Xu's mind was full of storms, but she could hear the sound of wind behind her ears. She squatted down, turned around, and swung her long legs out. It hit Shuanzi's legs like hitting a hard piece of wood. She almost cried out in pain, but she still kicked him to the ground.

"Ah! Murder!!" Wang Po suddenly woke up, screamed and collapsed to the ground.

The old man in the woodshed rushed out, just in time to see the blood all over the floor and the fallen pillars and bolts.

"Big brother! Second brother!" Qiangzi saw that this girl was a tough guy, so he turned around, took a knife and rushed over to chop at her. Tang Xu looked at the cold light approaching, rolled on the ground and stood up quickly. He swung the dagger in his hand and stabbed it straight into his heart.

He rushed forward two steps due to inertia and fell heavily to the ground.

Shuanzi's eyes were bloodshot and he rushed over again with a roar.

Tang Xu had no weapons and could only dodge. The opponent was much taller than her, and she couldn't help but look at the blood on the ground. Her mind gradually became unstable, and she was hit by Shuanzi's punch on the side of the ear and fell sideways.
