summer thunderstorm

Aunt Sun's house has always been the place where Xia Qiuyu stayed when she went down the mountain, and occasionally she lived in Aunt Su's house when she went down the mountain to stay for a while.Aunt Sun’s family only has Aunt Sun and her son Sun Xiaohu. In the early years, Aunt Sun’s husband was in business, and he was considered to have some money in the village. The house he built was not too small, and there were many vacant houses. What kind of.

Speaking of it, it was because of Aunt Sun’s son——Sun Xiaohu. Sun Xiaohu was Aunt Sun’s lifeblood. He was seriously ill in his early years. Aunt Sun is grateful, and every time she sees him going down the mountain, she will let him live in her home and entertain him well.

This time it was no surprise, Mrs. Sun happily entertained the two of them, and she also talked about gossip in the village, which was nothing more than gossip from the parents and the west, but Xia Qiuyu also listened interestingly, and occasionally replied with a sentence or two Luo Jinglei was very surprised how they got on the topic.On the contrary, Sun Xiaohu and Luo Jinglei's relationship is much better. Sun Xiaohu wants to be one year older than him, and he will be ten years old after the new year. Now that he is in good health, he can't make trouble, his temper is not skinny, and he is happy with Luo Jinglei's temperament Teach him some gadgets, and Sun Xiaohu admires him very much. He always calls him "Brother Luo", and always regards him as the leader.

In the hut, Luo Jinglei was teaching Sun Xiaohu how to play chess, and the two of them were now together, and they hit it off unexpectedly. When Xia Qiuyu came to call him back, Sun Xiaohu's reluctance made Aunt Sun amused, and she smiled and asked them to live together again. At night, I just thought that the things I bought were almost gone, so I didn't want to keep them.

It was mid-December, and it was very cold outside. Xia Qiuyu took a newly bought cloak and put it on for Luo Jinglei, and also put on a pair of thick gloves. Then she walked back holding her packed things and holding hands. .Many people went out to see them off on the road, and it was still early, so Xia Qiuyu thanked the villagers one by one.

Xia Qiuyu thought this was the last time he went down the mountain a year ago, and he didn't know when he would see everyone next time. Luo Jinglei thought so too, but he didn't expect that they would return to the village in just a few days.

It was the 27th day of the new year. One of them was preparing the new year's goods for the New Year's Eve, and the other was playing with the sand table in front of the military book. Lonely, but will not disturb each other.

"Lei'er, let's put those things away, come and try my new cakes." Xia Qiuyu put a plate in front of Luo Jinglei, and said expectantly.

Luo Jinglei was also obedient, put away the book in his hand, took an almost orange-yellow pastry and put it in his mouth, and said after a while: "It tastes like chestnuts, very good."

The chestnuts were sent up yesterday. I didn't expect his almighty master to make it into a cake. It has a strong chestnut flavor, sweet but not greasy, and there should be some nourishing medicine in it.

Xia Qiuyu was very happy to hear that, so she took a piece and tasted it. It really tasted good. It did contain a little nourishing medicinal material, not much, and you can't taste it unless you taste it carefully. This pastry is very suitable for them in winter.

"That's right. On the [-]th of that year, I will... Huh? Who came up the mountain?" Xia Qiuyu realized that someone came up from the mountain, and it should be an acquaintance.

Bai Shao once set up a three-layer formation on the mountain, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, they can only go around in circles on the mountain, and finally go back to the bottom of the mountain, but once someone breaks through the first layer and enters the second layer of formation, Xia Qiuyu will It can be found that the only ones who can climb this mountain are the Xia family and Bai Shao, and the rest is Aunt Sun from the village. This is just in case the village finds him.

Xia Qiuyu figured it out, maybe it was Mrs. Sun who came, and she didn't know what the big deal was, so she went down the mountain to investigate with a frown.Unexpectedly, it was Sun Xiaohu.

Sun Xiaohu was in trouble in the forest, when he suddenly heard from his ears: "Xiaohu is looking for me for something?" Turning his head suddenly, the young man in white clothes is exactly the Mr. Xia he is looking for!Immediately my mind relaxed, and I passed out.

Luo Jinglei was extremely displeased to see his master come back with a child in his arms, but it turned out to be Sun Xiaohu, whom he had only met a few days ago. He and his trousers were covered with unmelted snow and mud on the mountain, and his little face that was flushed red from the cold was also full of stains.

Helping the master to rectify Sun Xiaohu, he took several porcelains from the medicine box and put them into his arms, and while putting on a thicker windbreaker on the side, he said: "You stay indoors, I will go Take a look in the village, I'm afraid there is something wrong." After finishing speaking, he wanted to leave.

Luo Jinglei knew that if something really happened in the village, with his new martial arts knowledge, it must be his burden. Even though he was unwilling, he could only secretly hate him, so he nodded and sent him away in silence.

Sun Xiaohu opened his eyes and woke up to see Luo Jinglei. He got up excitedly, and regardless of the etiquette, he took Luo Jinglei's hand and cried, "Brother Luo, where is Mr. Xia?! Please, save mother! Help!" Everyone!"

The crying was choked, and Luo Jinglei was irritated when he heard it, so he comforted him and asked him to speak clearly.

It turned out that a group of robbers suddenly came to the village the day before yesterday, but they were excellent in martial arts. They brought more than 20 people with them, all of whom were desperate people. There were only a dozen or so households in the village. , were locked up by them in the school of Old Master Zhou who taught.It was cold, and the school was a big place, but it couldn't stand the cold winter weather. Several children and old people had caught cold, and the robbers probably wouldn't care about their lives.

Sun Xiaohu was playing hide-and-seek with a few children that day, and he happened to be hiding in an empty school. The robbers only counted how many people were caught in, and they didn't check to see if anyone was in the school. The jade pendant she gave climbed through the window and ran out of the cellar outside the school, wanting to ask Xia Qiuyu for help.

After all, he was still a child. Although he was holding the jade pendant and was not stopped by the formation on the mountain, he still suffered a lot. The way he was sobbing now makes people feel distressed. It is a pity that Luo Jinglei, who is beside him, has been worried for a long time. The late master.The thoughts of worry are naturally intensified.He who has always restrained himself decided to go down the mountain to check.

***

On the other side, Xia Qiuyu used Qinggong to drive down the mountain, but saw a group of men she had never seen wandering in the village.Looking at the attire of that group of people, you can tell that they are not ordinary people. They are either black or gray, coarse linen clothes, and they are not overly trimmed. They still hold their own weapons in their hands, most of which are shiny knives.There were still a few scattered people standing around the village, and they really happened to be in control of the situation in and outside the village.

Xia Qiuyu approached quietly again, only to realize that the two guards closest to him looked nervous, and they still had a smell of dust on their bodies, and they were extremely cautious when looking around.

He did not enter the village blindly, but took the tunnel in the village.There are ten or so families in the village, and three of them have specially built large cellars. In winter, everyone stores things that they cannot fit in the large cellars.There is a road underground in the big cellar, and finally a tunnel leading to the outside of the village. Sun Xiaohu used the tunnel that day.

The group of people in the village must have not found out about the cellar, and the intersection of the cellar was not sealed. Xia Qiuyu even covered it up after entering.In the past, he knew that there was this road, but he didn't go through it. There were three intersections leading to three cellars ahead, and he didn't know the way, so he had to follow one by one.The first cellar belongs to the head of the village, and there is no one in it; the second cellar belongs to the only doctor in the village, and there are people in it, but they are two strange men, cooking medicine in it, I am afraid that someone here has been injured The third article finally arrived at the cellar of Old Master Zhou's house. He was just about to check when he heard a faint human voice, and quickly hid again.

"Hey~ Locking them up like this is not an option." It was the voice of a strange man.

"There is no other way. The young master's illness is not cured, so we can't leave. If we let them go, what should we do if someone informs us?" It was another man who answered him.

"I also know these things. Master has been with the young master these days every day, and I don't know when the young master will recover from his illness."

"Yeah, the young master is so smart..."

…………

The two gradually walked away, and the voice faded away. It took Xia Qiuyu a while to get out of the cellar.

Naturally, the entrance to the cellar is not in the school, but in a corner behind the school. As long as you are careful, you won't attract the attention of the two people at the door of the school, but how to get in is a difficult task.

Aunt Sun, who was worried about her son, peeped through the window from time to time, and spotted Xia Qiuyu outside the window with sharp eyes, and secretly told everyone to watch the two men standing guard, and put the note written by Old Master Zhou through the window. Handed it out.

Xia Qiuyu looked at the words on the note unexpectedly. It said that there were [-] people in the group in the village. There was a man who seemed to be the leader and brought a seriously ill boy with him. It's been a long time.

After thinking about it, that group of people is not like ordinary people, their martial arts are not high, but the elephants are killed by ants, and he dare not save people rashly. Except for the two people at the door, two people come to look at it every quarter of an hour. However, he could only move nearly fifty people in the village to the cellar within a quarter of an hour.

Step on the time to knock out the people at the door, let the young ones climb out the window and go into the cellar. They didn't make any noise, so everyone was a little creepy, and the children obediently didn't make any noise, so the speed was much slower. Seeing that the time was coming, let them rush into the cellar, but the noise was too loud When he got up, people were attracted as expected, and fortunately, he had already sent everyone in, and the hole in the cellar was sealed.
