Bamboo horses peck each other daily

The business of the He family is not over yet, Cheng Xia and Shi Xu are not in the mood to play anymore, they plan to ask Uncle Zhang to pick them up and prepare to go home.At this moment, Gao Yi called and told Cheng Xia the good news. Cheng Xia told Aunt He, but the whole family was very happy. First, he hurriedly thanked Gao Yi and said that he would invite him After eating, he was embarrassed, so he quickly excused himself a few times and hung up the phone.

The He family waited anxiously for someone to notify them. Mingzi and Uncle He couldn't wait any longer and rushed to the city again. Halfway through, they received a call informing them that they would pick up the child and reminded them that there were still some prisoners who hadn't been arrested yet. Stop, tell the family members of the victim to pay attention to the neighborhood, and notify the police if they have any clues. The Public Security Bureau has also released information on those wanted criminals.

Cheng Xia hung up Brother Ming's phone and looked it up with his mobile phone, and sure enough, he found the appearance of the latest wanted criminal. He glanced at it and didn't pay much attention, and immediately went to announce the good news to Aunt He.

Aunt He was so excited that she couldn't bear the mood changes of great joy and sorrow all day long, so she could only hold Cheng Xia's hand and said, "I'll make something delicious and wait for Ah Bao to come back...Xiao Xia and Your brother should stay too! Today I will make a big table and let's celebrate together!"

Feng Lun had a delicious meal, Cheng Xia didn't plan to go back soon, Shi Xu also remembered the delicious taste of a large table of dishes cooked by Aunt He at that time, so he stayed at He's house with great anticipation, and notified Uncle Zhang Take it easy to pick them up.

Aunt He flicked her sleeves and turned on the fire. She took out the meat from the refrigerator to defrost in twos and twos, then chopped a handful of finely chopped vegetables and sprinkled them in the oil pan to stir-fry them. Stir-fry, instead of sprinkling a few rubs of spices, then pouring your own marinated meat sauce and stir-frying, you will soon have a pot of fried noodles on the table.

Aunt He is cooking for the whole family, and she doesn't pay attention to the rule that the dishes are served only when everyone is present. After frying a plate of noodles, let Cheng Xia take Shi Xun to eat something to fill his stomach first.

Cheng Xia was holding all the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and prepared them early. He only scooped a spoon out of the fried noodle basin after returning to Aunt He. Cheng Xia ate his mouth full of greasy food unpretentiously, and was seduced to get the bowls and chopsticks after a few strokes.

Cheng Xia took the bowl to the kitchen to watch Aunt He cook. She had already cut the thawed pork ribs into pieces, put the sauce and sugar, chopped green onion and ginger, and put the ribs in the pot to stew. It is bubbling and bubbling, and the fragrance is strong from the vent hole on the pot cover. It is conceivable that this is another delicious bowl after it comes out of the pot.

Aunt He put the ribs aside and stewed slowly, and prepared a pot of duck meat and herbal soup. The herbs in the herbal soup were picked from the nearby hills, and the people in the alleys were used to stewing with the herbs occasionally. Lower the fire.Cheng Xia doesn't know if it has the function of cooling and detoxifying, but the soup with this herb is indeed more mellow and sweeter. Aunt He likes to add these when making soup.

Aunt He grabbed the last handful of herbs from the cupboard on one side, washed them and put them in the pot to stew with the duck.She turned around and wiped her hands on the apron, and said to Cheng Xia: "Xiao Xia, the herbs are used up, you can help your aunt to pick some, and you will have something to eat when you come back!"

Cheng Xia was growing up, and just as he finished a bowl of fried noodles, another bowl came. He answered, and ate the remaining half bowl of noodles slowly, and then walked out with the small scissors.

The place where herbs are picked is not far away, and it doesn't take long to walk along the path on the mountain.Cheng Xia looked for it as he walked.He has also helped Aunt He collect herbs many times, so he is very familiar with its appearance, but it does not grow densely along the way, only a small slope on the mountain can find piles of growing herbs. .

There is actually a large open space on the small slope. A few years ago, someone built a factory here, but it was abandoned after a while, and it became a deserted iron house.The back of the herb bush was facing the abandoned factory, and Cheng Xia took a handful of scissors there and cut it off, leaving the roots to let it continue to grow. He put a large handful of the cut herbs into plastic bags.After a few cuts, a large plastic bag was filled. He thought that such a large bag should be enough for a month after drying, so he put the scissors back in his pocket.

Cheng Xia stepped on grass roots all over the ground, making a rustling sound, the sun left only a corner of the afterglow on the horizon, and it was about to set, and the air without light cooled quickly, and this small open space in the mountains was not covered by layers of trees , has already blown several waves of evil wind, causing him to shiver a few times.The branches stacked on top of each other have sprouted in spring, but they are not yet luxuriant. Against the light of the setting sun, they are reflected with a dim yellow background, with black lines to outline the outline of sharp branches and a small cluster of leaves. strokes.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Cheng Xia was also preparing to go back home. He was too familiar with this hill, not to mention that it was not dark yet, even if he stepped on it at night, he could still find his way.

A whole bag of herbs looks like a lot, but it doesn't really weigh much. Cheng Xia dragged him back to the vicinity of the abandoned factory without much effort.

A gust of cool wind made him shiver again. He raised his head and wanted to tighten the collar of his coat, but he heard a dull "boom—" and someone opened the big iron gate of the abandoned factory.

When Shi Xu saw that the sun was about to set, and Cheng Xia hadn't come back yet, he was a little worried.

Aunt He didn't think much about it at first. After all, among the children nearby, who hasn't been ordered by the adults in the family to go up the mountain to pick some herbs?They are all familiar places, and nothing will happen to them.But A Bao disappeared because he went out to play some time ago, which made her a little afraid that something bad would happen again, so she wiped her hands on the apron and wanted to go out to find someone.

Shi Xu stopped her: "Aunt He, your food and soup are in the pot. If I don't come back in time, I really won't put out the fire on this stove." The He family's stove is a rustic stove. He had never seen a firewood burner, and he didn't know how to get rid of it.

"Why don't you tell me where he is, and I'll go up and look for it."

Aunt He hesitated for a moment: "You have never been there..."

Shi Xu joked, "As long as the mountain doesn't have so many forks like this alley, I won't get lost."

Of course not, there is only one mountain road in the small clearing where weeds are cut, and you can walk straight from the foot of the mountain to get there. Aunt He told him the location and asked him to pay attention to an abandoned factory, and Chengxia was nearby.

Cheng Xia hadn't seen anyone walk out of the abandoned factory for a long time, and one came out suddenly, which made people feel a little scary.

He was stunned for a long time before squatting in a clump of lush herbs, and with his good eyesight, he saw the people coming out of the gate clearly.There were not many of them, only three of them, all wearing simple tops, and a man with a scar on his face was still smoking a cigarette.One of them stood far away from the gate, but he was quite close to Cheng Xia. He seemed to be looking for a place with a better signal to connect to the phone in his hand.

This man looks ordinary, the only impressive thing is his inverted triangular eyes, the light from his eyes when he squinted made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.He was speaking an unintelligible dialect, occasionally mixed with a few obviously swearing words, and a few Mandarin with a non-standard accent, and he was talking to the other end of the phone in a blustery tone.

What he was speaking seemed to be a local dialect, but the accent was too strong and vague, and he couldn't hear the specific meaning. He could only feel that he was very irritable now, as if he had quarreled with the person on the other end of the phone.The man took a few more steps towards this side, and Cheng Xia began to feel chills on his back, because he found a knife from this man - it was obviously not a household fruit knife, but the kind specially used for A wounding dagger.There was a mess of stubble around the man's mouth, Cheng Xia looked more and more familiar with him.Does he live in an alley?

The man talked about his excitement and cursed loudly. Cheng Xia finally heard the sentence clearly, "I'm going to be caught by the police, so don't think about it! I'm going in, everyone has to go in!"

He understands what the note means.

He held his breath, his hair stood on end, and he felt that his five senses began to become clear under this delicate atmosphere - he remembered!This person is the wanted criminal he found on his phone not long ago!And that scarred face is also on the wanted list.

Cheng Xia pinched himself to calm himself down.The man hadn't spotted him, maybe he could wait until they were gone before coming out.

The triangular-eyed person on the call hung up the phone, cursed, and yelled something at the two companions at the gate of the abandoned factory.Triangle Eyes returned to the two companions, scolded Scarface fiercely, and pushed and shoved that person in a short time. The third person who was fighting next to him was accidentally dragged into the battlefield by them, so the three of them started fighting. fight.

Cheng Xia was a little lucky, maybe he didn't have to wait so long, and it was also feasible to sneak away quietly when their attention was not here.Just as he was about to move, a beam of faint white light shot from the other end of the path hidden in the bushes.

Someone went up the mountain again.

The three of them obviously noticed the light, and they all stopped arguing and made no sound.

Cheng Xia lowered his foot that was about to move and looked at the people coming from the path.

He wishes it was a grown-up.

Unfortunately, however, he heard Shi Xu calling him.

Shi Xu was facing the path that came up, facing the abandoned factory. Those three people came out of the back door of the abandoned factory. Now they were leaning against the iron gate, and he was in the grass not far from the iron gate. The dim light hides.

From this angle, Shi Xu couldn't see those three people at all, let alone him!

He heard Shi Xu call his name a few more times, the usually familiar call turned into a dangerous approaching drumbeat.

When the three desperadoes heard the name called by the person who came up, they were suspicious that someone had been around all the time, especially the person who had just talked on the phone. Thinking of the news they revealed when they spoke, they all felt that something was wrong.The three of them stared at each other, exchanged glances, and began to spread out to find someone in the bushes behind the factory.

Cheng Xia felt his heart sank when he saw them stepping into the grass. Among them, the man who had just talked on the phone was facing his direction, the dagger in his hand was out of the sheath, and he held it tightly in his hand.He deeply felt that he was not very lucky, only one of the three had a dagger, but it was that person who walked towards him.

Holding his breath, he fumbled to take out the scissors from his pocket, and clasped them firmly in his hands.The man was getting closer and closer, and the area occupied by the grass in his field of vision became smaller and smaller, and the pair of wrinkled trousers gradually changed from a pair of thin shadows to tall and dark shadows, Cheng Xia was grateful I found such tall grass by myself, otherwise it would have been exposed long ago.

The man walked a little further, Cheng Xia looked at the distance - it couldn't be any closer!Any closer to be discovered.

He lowered his body again, and then jumped out, aiming the sharp scissors straight at the man's thigh.

The man was turning his head from side to side to look for someone. He was always looking at him at the same level. Only his peripheral vision could pay attention to the movement below his eyes. He felt a black shadow rush towards him.However, it was too late to take a cursory glance. Before he could react, he felt a piercing pain in his thigh, which made him subconsciously let out a scream.

"Ah-ho, ho-ah!" The man took a long breath after screaming, and the strange cry of pain caught the attention of everyone present in the wasteland.The two accomplices came to their senses first and rushed towards him, while Shi Xu was startled by the scream, stepped forward tentatively, and shouted loudly: "Who's there!"

This is not Cheng Xia's voice!

However, within a few steps, he was hit by a warm body. Before he could react, he heard Cheng Xia's roar, with a nervousness that he didn't usually have: "It's me! Run!"
