[Seven-five] Sunflowers are warm

Gujiang Town was the hardest hit by floods last year, and Luojia Village is a small village affiliated to Gujiang Town, located in a small depression.The land here is barren, undulating, mostly mountainous.Farming is inconvenient and the harvest is poor. Most of the young people in the village go out to find another livelihood.A flood, the village suffered catastrophe, even more dilapidated.

Sister-in-law Zhang's family was at the end of the village near the foot of the mountain. There were several thatched huts surrounded by broken fences, and a man was chopping wood in the courtyard.Sister-in-law Zhang called the man "brother" through the fence, her voice choked with sobs.Hearing the sound, the man raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and hurried forward to meet her, "Hongye? Why are you back? Where's my brother-in-law? Can I come back with you?" After finishing speaking, he looked at the group of people behind her with some hesitation.

Sister-in-law Zhang saw her relatives, her eyes were red, she shook her head and said, "Husband, he... has gone..."

The man was startled, and the joy on his face faded.Sister-in-law Zhang has more or less come out of a series of blows. Today, she saw her relatives, and her mood fluctuated a little.She quickly wiped away her tears and introduced Lord Bao and his party to her eldest brother.Sister-in-law Zhang's elder brother Luo Dashan thanked him repeatedly after hearing what had happened, and invited the group to enter the house for a rest.

After sitting in the main room for a while, I met Mrs. Zhang's sister-in-law Wang Shi and younger brother Luo Xiaoshan. My sister-in-law seemed to be okay, not mean.Luo Dashan's family is small and can't accommodate so many people, and the next door has a vacant room, so they stay in the next door.The family next door is named Li, and there is only one old man in the family. Everyone in the village calls him Old Man Li.Old man Li's son and daughter-in-law all went to the town to do odd jobs, and he was left farming at home alone.The house is also empty, and I am very happy to earn some money to subsidize the family.

The conditions of the Li family were really poor, but fortunately they only stayed for one night.The next morning, they didn't want to bother old man Li to make breakfast, so they hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to leave. Mrs. Zhang rushed over with Bao'er in her arms, saying that Bao'er suddenly had a high fever last night, and wanted to ask Mr. Gongsun to take a look.

This delay was another day.Zhan Zhao always felt a little uneasy, and secretly told Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to guard the adults every step of the way, fearing that something would happen.In the evening, it began to rain outside, pattering, not heavy but continuous.When it was time for dinner, Mrs. Zhang's shrill scream suddenly came from outside - Bao'er!my baby!

Everyone was shocked, could it be that something happened to Bao'er?Zhan Zhao stood up abruptly, "I'll go and have a look, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu stay here." Before he finished speaking, his figure had reached the door, Mr. Gongsun got up and said, "I'll go and have a look too." As he spoke, he hurried out, Ding Yuehua He went out without saying a word.

Zhan Zhao was the first to arrive when he heard the sound. The window of Mrs. Zhang's room was wide open, and there were muddy footprints on the ground.Mr. Gongsun and Ding Yuehua arrived afterward, took a look around, and quickly asked, "Sister-in-law Zhang, where's Bao'er?"

Sister-in-law Zhang covered her face and cried, "I just saw that Bao'er was asleep and went out to make medicine. When I came back... I saw someone in the house rummaging through boxes and cabinets. Before he could react, he hugged Bao'er and ran away from the window. Big brother and My little brother has already gone after her, my poor Bao'er, she is still sick, and it's still raining outside..."

Zhan Zhao frowned, looked around the room again, and said, "Which direction did the villain go?" Sister Zhang wiped away her tears and pointed in a direction.Zhan Zhao went to the window to check carefully, there were indeed footprints heading there.Turning back to Ding Yuehua and Mr. Gongsun, he said, "I'll look for it together, you go back first."

After all, Ding Yuehua couldn't stay idle, and after walking halfway back, he braved the rain to hunt for Bao'er.Mr. Gongsun is not too worried, Ding Yuehua's martial arts are extraordinary, ordinary people can't hurt her.After returning to Li's house, he told Mr. Bao about Bao'er being taken away, which surprised several people.If it was a burglary, why would you take the child away on the spur of the moment?Could it be that there is something hidden?Hearing that Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua had gone to look for them, Mr. Bao was quite relieved.After thinking for a while, he said: "Zhao Hu, you go to the Luo's next door to guard. There are only two women in the Luo's house. If there are gangsters again, I'm afraid they won't be able to fight. You go and take care of one or two."

Zhao Hu was a little hesitant, Master Bao waved his hand to signal him to go quickly, "There is still Zhang Long here, go." After Zhao Hu left, Xu Xiangyang couldn't sit still, and stood guard in the yard, hoping that they would get the treasure sooner. bring it back.It was getting dark, and suddenly, she saw Zhang's sister-in-law walking towards the forest at the foot of the mountain with a blank expression.She didn't care that it was still raining, and hurried to catch up, "Sister-in-law Zhang, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Bao'er, listen, my Bao'er is crying, she's crying!" Sister-in-law Zhang said hysterically as she headed towards the forest.Xu Xiangyang wanted to hold her back, but found that she was so strong that she couldn't hold her back at all, "Sister-in-law Zhang, everyone has already gone out to look for her. I know you are anxious, but what if you call Baoer? Can't stop Mrs. Zhang, Xu Xiangyang can only call Mr. Gongsun loudly, "Sun Butler, Sun Butler, come and see Mrs. Zhang, there is something wrong with her." She seemed to lose her mind, so she had to call Mr. Gongsun Come.

Mr. Gongsun was in the house, Xu Xiangyang's voice was not loud, and it was covered by the sound of rain, so it couldn't reach inside.She dragged Mrs. Zhang all the way into the woods. It was getting dark outside and the forest was even darker. Mrs. Zhang began to call Bao'er's name in the forest. "Bao'er, Bao'er, where are you? My mother is here to pick you up, Bao'er, Bao'er, Bao'er, please answer Mom, my mother is here to pick you up. Bao'er, my Bao'er."

She screamed over and over again like a ghost, Xu Xiangyang suddenly felt creepy, such a forest, such a weather, such a strange call, she suddenly felt scalp numb, and almost wanted to run away.But she couldn't leave sister-in-law Zhang behind, swallowed her saliva, and said carefully: "Sister-in-law Zhang, Bao'er may have gone home, let's go back and have a look, okay?"

"Nonsense! Bao'er is so young, she still can't leave, how could she go home by herself? She must be waiting for me! Bao'er! Bao'er! Answer mother!"

Xu Xiangyang was really scared, Mrs. Zhang was going crazy.She was standing right behind her, just an arm's length away.Just at a loss, Mrs. Zhang suddenly turned around to face her, showing a strange smile, Xiang Yang looked at her with horror in her eyes, and suddenly thought of Zhan Zhao's advice, but it was too late.Mrs. Zhang pushed her violently, she leaned back, spun around for a while and then lost consciousness.

Mrs. Zhang smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, and lightly used Qinggong to get out of the woods, and hurried towards Li's courtyard.Master Bao, Mr. Gongsun and Zhang Long were still waiting for the news in the main room. When they saw Mrs. Zhang coming over, they felt strange, exchanged glances, and were a little distracted.Sister-in-law Zhang panicked, "Master, I just saw that Miss Xu went to the woods in the back mountain!"

The three of them were surprised, Miss Xu went to the forest in the back mountain?What is she doing there?She is not such a ignorant person!Hearing the words, Zhang Long hurriedly checked around, but he did not see Xu Xiangyang.Master Bao's face darkened, and he said, "Go find it!" She was unfamiliar with the place, so if she was in danger in the woods...

"Master!" Mr. Gongsun thought it was wrong, if Zhang Long also left, who would protect him? "I'll go and have a look."

Sister-in-law Zhang squinted her eyes, and pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve with lightning speed, and went straight to Mr. Bao's heart.Fortunately, Zhang Long got Zhan Zhao's confession, so he raised his spirits and took her surprise attack in time to resolve the crisis.Mr. Gongsun hurriedly protected Mr. Bao and retreated to the side. Mr. Bao was not afraid, and said sharply: "Who are you? Why did you assassinate the mansion?" Obviously he knew his identity because of his careful arrangements.

Mrs. Zhang stopped her momentum, took half a step back, and smiled coldly, "Bao Zheng, everyone says you are Qingtian, and in my opinion, there is no distinction between right and wrong! Your guards were all distracted by me. Zhang Long is not my opponent at all! Today is your death day!"

Zhang's sister-in-law completely faded away from her previous weak image, her whole body was full of hostility, and a dagger made her dexterous.As she said, Zhang Long could barely parry her attack, but he was no opponent.Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Long hurriedly persuaded Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun to leave first.Mrs. Zhang laughed mockingly, "Do you think you left? My eldest brother, sister-in-law and younger brother are my brothers and sisters. Do you think I will single-handedly deal with you? Hmph, Zhan Zhao got the trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Zhao Hu has already been subdued by us. Miss Xu is nothing to worry about, I'm afraid she has been torn to pieces by the beasts in the back mountain. As for Ding Yuehua, my junior brother will play with her and won't come back for a while."

"What about Bao'er? But your daughter?"

Mrs. Zhang laughed loudly, "My real name is Luo Hongye. I'm not Mrs. Zhang at all. Where did I get my daughter? It's okay to tell you, she's just an acting prop I bought from a human trafficker."

Mrs. Bao reprimanded sharply: "You are devoid of conscience! She is a young child, and you have the heart to deliberately make her sick to lure us into the bait!"

Luo Hongye curled his lips coldly, and attacked again with a dagger in his hand. Zhang Long was forced to get many wounds on his body, and he still swayed with his body, preventing her from approaching Mr. Bao.Seeing that the situation was worrisome, a sleeve arrow shot down the dagger in her hand, turning the situation around.

It's Zhan Zhao!Zhang Long was overjoyed, "Master Zhan!"

"Zhan Zhao?! You, why are you back?" Luo Hongye didn't want him to come back so soon and bring Bao'er, could it be that senior brother... Zhan Zhao slowly entered the main room, stared at Luo Hongye sharply, and said in a deep voice Said: "You think that your arrangement is perfect, but you don't know that it is full of loopholes. You said that Bao'er was taken away, and the burglar was found to flee in panic. How could you take the child away? What if the child is crying halfway?" Didn't you expose your whereabouts? Besides, after the incident, your brother went out to look for Bao'er at the first time, and his reaction was too quick? Finally, he searched for the footprints and found that they were all heading up the mountain, and the footprints were neat. Chasing after the traces, didn’t you point out the direction for them to escape? How could I not see such an obvious flaw?”

"You..." Luo Hongye's face darkened, even if he saw the flaw, the elder brother would try to wrap him up so as to buy her time. "Where's my big brother?"

"You mean Luo Dashan?" Zhan Zhao said slowly, "I found something wrong in the middle of the search and thought it was a fraud, so I turned back. He was afraid that I would spoil your plan when I came back, and wanted to lure me to the depths of the mountain forest. It's a pity it didn't work out."

Luo Hongye had a ferocious expression, and said through gritted teeth, "What did you do to him?"
