A ragged cub at the beginning

Tang Xu lost her hearing and only heard a sharp buzzing in her ears. She just stood up with the support of the ground, but she staggered and fell down again.

"Die for me!" Shuanzi picked up the knife his brother dropped and stabbed Tang Xu mercilessly.

Tang Xu covered her ears with one hand and shook her head. The knife was already in front of her eyes, heading for her neck. She barely rolled back, and her arm was cut by the blade.

But the tinnitus seemed to have overwhelmed everything. She suddenly lost her hearing and couldn't even stand up. She felt the skin on her shoulder being cut, but she didn't feel any pain. Behind her was the wall, and she had nowhere to retreat.

Are you going to die here?

Will I never hear again?

Her mind flashed through the relatives and friends around her, and when she thought of Tang Ling, a picture flashed in her mind.

Tang Ling stood there holding a wooden stick tied with a cloth strip, looking over, as if he was disappointed with his friend, and also as if he was extremely helpless, "Stand up."

Tang Xu struggled to stand up against the wall, pulled out the wooden hairpin on his head with one hand, took two breaths, and threw it out with all his strength.

"Don't use your arms! Use your wrists!"

"Can't even a scarecrow get through?"

"Try it again! Be quick. If you're slow you won't even get through the skin."

"Wrist strength! Keep your eyes on the target! Think about where you are going to shoot!"

"Neck! Only the neck can kill with one blow!"

"You only have one chance! If you miss, you die."

Just like he had practiced countless times at home, the wooden hairpin flew out and Tang Xu held his breath.

Shuanzi raised his knife and chopped at him. He saw something flying towards him, but before he could react, his neck hurt and his pupils dilated. He raised his hand to cover his neck.

The air he inhaled could no longer reach his lungs, and blood poured into his punctured trachea. He made a sound like he was drowning, "Gu, cough... cough..."

Blood gushed out of his open mouth, accompanied by blood bubbles, and the tall figure fell down.

“Ahhhhhhh!” Old Man Guan rushed out of the woodshed holding a shoulder pole, trying to save the girl, but the third thief had already fallen to the ground.

He gasped, sat down on the ground, covered his face and started crying.

"You want to run away!" Old Lady Guan raised the jar of wine in her hand and smashed it on the head of Wang Po who was trying to sneak away.

"Open the door, open the door!"

"Open the door quickly!"

Du Yun rushed forward and kicked the gate hard, causing it to fall to the ground with a loud bang.

Tang Ling had already climbed over the wall and landed in the yard. She saw Tang Xu, who was covered in blood, sitting against the wall. Her heart seemed to stop beating, and a huge panic came over her like a tide, "Xiao Xu!"

"A Xu!!!" Du Yun's legs almost went weak and he fell to the ground when he saw this scene.

Tang Ling reacted first, and seeing Tang Xu's chest still rising and falling, he quickly walked over. "Xiao Xu!"

Tang Xu's eyes lit up when she saw Tang Ling. Tang Ling moved his mouth and said something, but she couldn't hear it. Only tears rolled down involuntarily, leaving two tear marks on her face.

"Xiao Xu? Where are you injured?" There was too much blood on Tang Xu's body, and Tang Ling didn't know where she was injured.

Du Yun finally came over and tried to help the man up with trembling hands, but he didn't know where to start as the man was covered in blood. "Where are you hurt? Ah Xu, Ah Xu, can you tell me?" As he spoke, his voice choked with sobs.

He arrived home after lunch, missing Tang Xu so much that he didn't even have time to eat and went to the kindergarten. He then learned that Tang Xu had gone out early in the morning. He waited at home until the kindergarten was over. When Qiyue Jiarui was sent back by Tang Ling, Tang Xu would still appear.

This was too abnormal, and Tang Ling also noticed something was wrong. Finally, Fang Yuanqin told him that Tang Xu had gone to Lu's house to watch the fun. Du Yun, Tang Ling, and Tang Yao went to Lu's house together, but Tang Xu did not go in.

After asking around, I learned from the shop assistants nearby that Tang Xu was taken away by an old woman and a man.

But where did she go? Du Yun called out everyone he could and searched around from the entrance of Lu's house. Until he found this area, a servant heard someone discussing a woman screaming about murder.

Tang Yao walked around the yard, checked the three bodies on the ground, and deduced what had happened.

"Du Yun..." Tang Xu stretched out her uninjured right hand. She thought her voice was very loud, but in fact it was not as loud as the footsteps of the crowd.

"The blood is not hers." Tang Yao came over, "Only her arm was injured."

Du Yun held the person in his arms with shaking hands. Tang Ling touched Tang Xu's limbs and confirmed again that only the clothes on his arms were torn and there were knife wounds. But Tang Xu's behavior was not normal. She frowned and regretted not bringing Banxia with her. "Take her back first and show her to Banxia. She seems to be deaf."

"Let's go home." Du Yun picked up Tang Xu and carried her horizontally. Just as they reached the door, she began to struggle.

"There's someone in the woodshed, downstairs." Tang Xu's tinnitus continued, his head felt dizzy, and he felt like vomiting. The voice was also very low, and Du Yun had to get closer to hear it clearly.

"She said there's someone under the firewood cellar. Boshan, go and take a look." Du Yun ordered.

"Yes, young master." Boshan took two people to the woodshed.

Tang Xu stopped struggling, smiled at Du Yun, and closed his eyes. But he felt even more like vomiting. Once he closed his eyes, he felt dizzy and felt like he was falling into an abyss and could never reach the ground.

Banxia almost screamed when she saw Tang Xu covered in blood, but Tang Yao covered her mouth with his hand.

Du Yun went straight back to his room and asked someone to bring him some hot water. The children had already fallen asleep, but Old Madam Du was too worried to fall asleep. She wanted to come over to see what was happening, but was stopped by Tang Ling.

Madam Du became even more worried. "What happened? Are you injured? You don't dare to let me see. Is the injury serious?"

Tang Ling shook his head, "It's not serious, it's just too dirty."

"?" Old Madam Du was confused.

Tang Xu vomited twice when she came back, and was covered in blood, dirty and smelly. Du Yun cleaned her and examined her, and found a deep knife wound on her upper arm. Other parts of the body were invisible, so we could only wait for Banxia.

After washing herself and lying on the familiar bed, Tang Xu felt much more relaxed. She half-closed her eyes, looked around, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

"This external injury is not serious. Her ears and head seem to have suffered a heavy blow. She can't hear and is vomiting. Judging from her pulse, it's not too serious. I will give her acupuncture to clear the blood stasis. She should be fine tomorrow." After taking her pulse, Banxia breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Yun relaxed, Tang Xu was fine. He was reluctant, but he couldn't ignore the fact that someone was killed in the town. "Sister, please take care of me. I'll go ask the family what's going on."

"Go ahead." Tang Ling nodded.

Tang Xu slept until noon the next day and woke up. He was still a little dizzy, but the tinnitus had finally disappeared.

"Ah Xu." Du Yun clenched his hands, "How is it? Where does it hurt?"

Finally hearing the voice, Tang Xu smiled, his pale face made people feel distressed, "My arm hurts, and I feel dizzy."

"Do you still want to vomit?" Du Yun reached out and stroked her forehead, smoothing her hair back.

"Well, I don't want to think about it anymore." Tang Xu didn't dare to move his head.

"Are you hungry?" Du Yun touched her face and her forehead. He was afraid of waking her up when she fell asleep, but now he seemed to be confirming something.

I'm really hungry now. I feel like my stomach has shrunk into a ball. I only had breakfast yesterday, so I don't know what time it is now. "I'm hungry."

Du Yun helped her up and fed her a bowl of chicken porridge made from ginseng chicken soup. He didn't dare let her lie down immediately after eating, so he asked her about what happened yesterday while half-hugging her.

Tang Xu felt a little guilty. She was indeed too careless yesterday. Would she be scolded if she said it out loud?
