No one expected that the Juye mountain man, who was still mourning unceasingly just now, would suddenly attack the Japanese man. Regardless of the sharp knife on his neck, he stretched out his hand and locked the man's throat, and then took him into the water together. down.

"Fire the arrows!" Guan Yun gave an order, and the archers on the boat couldn't wait to shoot arrows at the Japanese who were still on the boat. The arrows shot towards them like shooting stars, and the Japanese standing outside were caught off guard. , All died with a surprised expression.

This opportunity was won for them by the Juyeshan people, and if it weren't for his presence, these people would not be afraid of it.Now that he has fallen into the sea, these people naturally have to seize the opportunity.

On the other side, several well-watered soldiers of the Navy have jumped into the sea, hoping to save Juyeshanren.The Juyeshan people and the Japanese people in the water were still fighting. It was said that it was a fight, but in fact it was just a one-sided struggle.Although Juyeshanren was old, he was emotionally agitated by the killing of the villagers, and his hands inexplicably produced infinite strength. He only hoped to die with this Japanese man, so he firmly grabbed his neck and dragged him underwater, letting him do whatever he wanted. Struggling didn't help either.

In desperation, the Japanese stabbed him fiercely with a knife, regardless of the fact that the task this time was to capture the living.

The flowing blood attracted the attention of the sailors. They searched along the direction of the blood flow, and finally found the two behind a reef.After some rescue, both of them were pulled onto the boat. At this time, no matter whether the Japanese or the Juyeshanren, their chests stopped heaving.

Before everyone could grit their teeth, Chu Ci had already rushed over and pushed away the people standing in front of the old man, and started to rescue him.His rescue technique was learned from professional rescuers, which looks weird but solemn.Everyone held their breath and watched Chu Ci press down on Juye Shanren's chest with a sullen face, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing his rescue.

After about two to three minutes, Juyeshanren suddenly coughed and vomited water out of his mouth. When everyone saw it, they were overjoyed and didn't know what to do.

The military doctor had been standing by for a long time, and immediately went to check his injuries when he woke up.In addition to drowning, he also suffered knife wounds, the wounds were all on the abdomen, and the nearby clothes were already stained red with blood, which looked a little scary.

No one cared about the Japanese man next to him, but maybe he deserved his life. The person next to him accidentally stepped on him, which made him spit out a few mouthfuls of water, and then woke up slowly.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the side immediately stepped forward and tied him up. At the same time, all the Japanese on the pointed boat were also shot by arrows. Some died on the spot, and some were still alive. in the cabin.

Ugly girl has been closely following the old man, her eyes were full of tears, but she didn't dare to say a word, fearing that she would disturb the doctor's rescue.The old man opened his eyelids and looked at her with difficulty, his pale lips were murmured, as if he wanted to comfort her, but in the end he passed out.

The Japanese and Juyeshanren were taken to Xi County together, the Japanese were put in prison, and the Juyeshanren were sent to the county government for treatment.Among the seventeen or eight Japanese people, seven or eight were seriously injured and died, and those seven or eight were taken to the valley to pay homage to those innocent people.

After Du Yu heard about it, although she still felt unwell, she still insisted on waiting outside the room.After going through that siege and interception, he felt a little pessimistic in his heart. In his opinion, this old friend was in a very dangerous situation, and the chance of surviving was very small.Now that he survived, it was a blessing among misfortunes. Although his body was injured, nothing was more important than saving his life.

After the doctor came out, everyone gathered around, only to see the old doctor shaking his head with an ugly face: "He has five stab wounds in his abdomen, which has already hurt his lungs, and he has the will to die. It's hard to save."

Du Yu's face turned pale after hearing this, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground, while Chu Ci who was at the side scrambled to support him, his face was also full of dignity.The saddest thing in the world is nothing more than giving hope and then taking it back. Although the person has been rescued, but you have to watch him die.

……

Paper money all over the sky is flying in the wind, adding a touch of loneliness to this huge silent valley.A thin figure dressed in white linen knelt in front of the largest new tomb in the middle, his shoulders shrugged constantly, even though his face was covered with tears, he was unwilling to make a sound.

"Jingshu, let's go." Chu Ci patted the little girl's shoulder lightly, "Grandpa certainly doesn't want to see you sad anymore."

"Uncle Chu, I understand, I just want to stay with grandpa for a while longer." Lu Jingshu looked at the grave with red and swollen eyes, and remembered the kind old man again, tears fell down involuntarily.

"From now on, I'll call you foster father. I've already promised Mr. Lu that I'll take you as a foster daughter." Chu Ci couldn't help feeling sour when he thought of the old man's dying state.

Juyeshanren originally wanted to entrust Chouya to his good friend Du Yu, but when he heard that Chu Ci was the uncle Chu who taught Chouya to read and write, he changed his mind.

In his opinion, a person who can treat a girl like this must not be limited by formalities, nor will he be limited by those old-fashioned ideas.The reason why Juyeshanren knew Chouya started a few months ago.

……

At that time, he had just returned from a trip, passing by the pier, but found a little girl squatting on the ground with a grass flag stuck on her head, beside a frowning middle-aged man who claimed to be her uncle.The little girl knew she was going to be betrayed, but she didn't cry or yell like other children, but squatted on the ground and scratched something with a branch.

Juye Shanren took a closer look and found that she was silently writing the Three Character Classic. Although the words were written with branches, they looked very neat.He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. This family is very poor at first glance, but they can teach girls to read and write. Could it be that her family suffered a disaster and fell down halfway?Or, this little girl is the daughter of a good family, abducted by a kidnapper?

Thinking of this, Juyeshanren, that is, Lu Song frowned. He has always been a soft-hearted person with a sense of justice. Seeing this situation, he stepped forward to test it out to see what was going on.

The man looked at the little girl, took Lu Song aside and explained that the man was indeed her uncle, but her grandmother was crushed to death due to a house collapse recently, and the family had no money to bury her, so he wanted to sell the girl to Others are slaves, in exchange for a sum of money so that her grandma can rest in peace.But this little girl was so ugly that no one bought her at all.

The man sighed regretfully, and Lu Song felt angry in his heart—what a ridiculous excuse, no matter how much ostentation the money was exchanged for, the old man might not be able to rest in peace.

The little girl also raised her head at this time, looking at him with big black and white eyes, and it was only at this time that he saw that the little girl had such a big birthmark on her face, no wonder the man said that.But, in fact, this little girl is not ugly.

Lu Song's heart moved, he walked over and squatted down, and asked, "What's your name?"

The little girl hesitated: "...Grandpa, my name is Chouya."

"What are you writing? Can you read it? Can you understand it?"

"Well, I can read, this is..." Ugly Ya read out what she wrote, and then explained the meaning again.

"Did your parents teach you these?"

Ugly girl lowered her head, and said sadly: "I don't have parents. Uncle Chu, Brother Xiao and Brother Ming'an taught us these things."

"Then how long have you been studying?"

A trace of regret appeared on Ugly Ya's face: "I haven't finished learning the Three Character Classic, and then..." She raised her head and glanced at the man standing next to her, the meaning was self-evident.

His uncle immediately explained with a flattering smile: "She is asked to collect firewood on weekdays, but what word does she want to learn? A girl from every family, why do she learn these things? Why don't you do more work, right?"

"There are many talented women in the world. It's not surprising. I think this little girl has some talents. If you take her back and treat her well, maybe you will be blessed in the future." He felt that this little girl had a tough temperament and a well-organized speech. It is clear that she is not like the timid and shy daughters she sees on weekdays, so she can't help but have a good impression of her.

The middle-aged man said awkwardly: "The family is almost out of control, how can I provide for a scholar, or a girl..." His implication is that the ugly girl must be sold today.

Lu Song shook his head, and took off a purse from his body: "Since there is a funeral in your family, go to it quickly. You can take this money, and it should be enough. Take it back, little girl, and don't sell her again." .”

The middle-aged man's face was full of joy. While saying sorry, he rubbed his hands and prepared to take the purse.

A thin hand snatched the purse, and then stuffed it back to Lu Song: "Grandpa, don't give him money, there is no funeral in my family, it's my uncle who lost the money betting at the dice—crack!"

A crisp applause sounded, and the middle-aged man who had a gentle face just now raised his eyebrows, looking like a man-eating sea yaksha: "What nonsense, you little bastard, you are looking for death!"

Ugly Ya seemed to be used to being beaten, she covered her face and wept silently, but there was no regret on her face.The onlookers started pointing at the middle-aged man, who seemed to realize that he might not be able to do his "business" today, so he rudely dragged the ugly girl's hand and walked out.

"Wait!" Lu Song asked to keep someone, he just saw the fierce look in that person's eyes, the money he got today was messed up by the ugly girl, he will definitely beat her up when he returns, seeing how thin the little girl looks, If you don't stop it, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck than good luck.

"What are you doing!" The man looked alert, no longer pretending to be simple and honest.

"How much is ugly, I bought it."

The man rolled his eyes and tentatively made an eight: "One price, eight taels of silver."

"Hey!" He jumped out blindly, "Even a tall and healthy servant only needs five taels, and this little girl of yours is worth a tael of silver, how dare you ask?"

"What are you doing? Buying and selling is all about what you want and what you want. Anyway, I don't have eight taels today, so I won't sell it." He just checked with his eyes, and there was probably eight taels of silver in the old man's purse.

These two people bought and sold each other in front of Chou Ya, and they didn't seem to treat Chou Ya as an adult at all. Lu Song sighed and said: "This little girl is priceless, but after all you raise her, I will give it to you." Five taels of silver can be regarded as repaying her support."

In fact, how could such a sallow and thin girl spend this five taels of silver?But the man was still not satisfied, "I don't have eight taels of silver today, so I absolutely won't sell it!"

Lu Song stared at him with a sullen face: "Don't push yourself too hard, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to get five taels of silver."

"You old man still dare to threaten me? You don't even ask who I am... Oh, don't go!" Seeing Lu Song turn around and leave, the man immediately regretted it. In fact, he originally planned to sell one or two. For money, if others negotiate the price, it is not impossible to sell one tael.It's just that people don't have enough people, who would not want to do such a thing like sitting on the ground and raising prices?
