The Miao girl in his heart

Chapter 4
"Find Zheng Peng"

The next morning, Di Ying was still sleeping.I vaguely heard someone calling me. How could there be anyone else in the village?But the voice is getting closer and closer, and it still sounds familiar.
"Sister! Sister! Come out quickly, where are you?"

This is the little boy I met at the hospital that day.
When Di Ying came out, she saw Xiao Feng's family of three walking towards her with smiles on their faces.The woman no longer had the unfamiliar hostility, walked up to her and held her arm affectionately.The warm touch made Diying's hair stand on end, and she shook her hand away.This reminded her of A Niang's warmth.

Not only was the woman not angry, she also comforted her.
"I have listened to Ah Feng's story about you. Don't be afraid. You are a lively girl. It is not safe to live in this abandoned village. Why not follow us down the mountain to relax. Anyway, that medical center is your second Lord, after all, it should be yours. We are all outsiders, and you are the master."

Xiao Feng also nodded, and the little boy took Diying's hand and begged Diying to go back with them like a baby.

"Sister, come and play with me. If you go, I can eat sausages, hehehe."

Xiao Feng knocked on the child’s head
"Akun! Don't bother sister, just go and play!"

Xiao Feng spoke sincerely again.
"Mei, the master is kind to me. Although I don't understand what happened to your family, I can't let the master's only relative live in this barren mountain. Don't worry, we have a house to live in. The hospital is still the same as before. Look, you can arrange whatever you want."

The couple waited quietly for Diying to speak. She never expected that such a thing would happen. She had no connection with their family.Why bother others, besides, Di Ying is afraid of bringing misfortune to anyone again.and rejected them

"Miao Village is also my home in Shasha. I am here. Thank you for your kindness. Since the Second Grandpa has handed over the medical clinic to you, it is because he trusts you. You can live a good life."

Di Ying turned around and left without a trace of hesitation, fearing that if she stayed for a while longer, she would really be tempted to follow them.
The couple had no choice but to go home.

Diying hid behind and watched quietly as the family of three left. Scenes from her childhood emerged in her mind.At that time, she was also the baby of her father and mother.
But no matter how sad I am, my eyes seem to have lost their function, only soreness and no tears.Maybe he was really sick.

In the quiet days that followed, she sorted and cataloged the books in the cellar.Trying to find the method to crack the forbidden technique in those ancient books.

I have read all the ancient books and scriptures these days, but I can't find any trace of the forbidden technique.According to what Second Grandpa said in his letter, everyone in the village, including their whole family, should have suffered the backlash of the forbidden technique.

So, did Xie Jiping's blood relatives who were sacrificed suffer backlash? If not, perhaps we can find a solution to the problem from them.

But where should I find Xie Jiping's family?In her memory, Zheng Peng once gave her a jade ring, which was Xie Jiping's personal possession, but she didn't ask for it. The jade ring should still be at the place where Xie Jiping finally disappeared.Cave!
Sure enough, after searching in the cave, I finally found the jade ring.This is made of the finest Hetian jade and looks to be of great value.Xie Jiping's name is engraved on the inside of the ring.

I vaguely remember that they spoke with a northern accent. Alas, so what if I knew they were northerners?With so many cities in the north, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.

By the way, the letter mentioned that Zheng Peng was let go. As of now, he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.If the man was still alive, she would be able to find him.A simple divination and divination will give you the answer.

She didn't expect that the hexagram showed that Zheng Peng was still alive and very close to her.Without further ado, set off to find him immediately!
Di Ying made a little man out of weeds to ask for directions, and attached a spell to find people.The little man will lead the way.After running around for a while, we arrived at another hilltop, next to Wanglong Mountain.

On this mountain, only a few families of Liao Liao lived farming. After passing through several fields, they walked around and around to the outside of a dilapidated tile-roofed house.There are some free-range chickens at the door and some vegetable plots.It looks like someone lives here.

Diying knocked on the door tentatively, but no one responded.Maybe outside
So she sat on the small stone pillar at the door in a daze. It seemed like three months had passed since she woke up, and it still felt like a lifetime ago.
Someone seemed to be walking down the slope. Zheng Peng, who was over forty years old and dressed in coarse linen clothes, saw a girl wearing Miao costume standing at the door of his house.Zheng Peng stopped and looked at Di Ying for only a few seconds.Then he ran down the mountain in fear.

Di Ying also saw him at this time. She also recognized the appearance of those two people when they turned into ashes.Seeing Zheng Peng running away, she quickly chased after him.

Diying was as light as a swallow and chased Zheng Peng for several miles without taking a breath.Finally, in a forest, Zheng Peng could no longer run.But he was not as timid as Xiao Feng. After resting for a while, he asked calmly.

"Are you a human or a ghost? What do you want from me?"

Di Ying also stopped and walked to Zheng Peng.She didn't know where to start, so she asked him directly.

"I'm a human being, and I'm looking for you to ask you something."

Zheng Peng let out a sigh of relief, as if he was not afraid of her at all.

"Hahaha, I knew it. How could you see a ghost in broad daylight? Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

Di Ying doesn’t beat around the bush either.

"You have followed Xie Jiping through life and death, so you must know him very well, right?"

Zheng Peng was surprised that he was not here to lock his life.

"Didn't he already die in your hands?"

Di Ying returns
"He is dead. What I want to ask is his family. Do you know?"

Zheng Peng was shocked, even his family members were not spared.He knew very well the methods of the Miao wizard, and he was wary of Di Ying who had resurrected from the dead in front of him.She can find herself easily.He simply told everything he knew.

"I have been following Xie Jiping since I was 16 years old. He saved me from fire and water several times, so I almost always obey his orders. His hometown is in Shandong, and he has been promoted and made a fortune. He settled in Shanghai and bought his property there. He bought a house and took in several concubines, but he had his first wife. I only went to Shanghai with him once. As for who is left in his family, it is unknown now. "

Diying murmured to herself

"Shanghai, I have heard of it but never been there. Is it far from here?"

Zheng Peng returns
"It's far away. Can I ask more? Personal vendetta does not bring harm to your family. Do you really want to kill them all like this?"

It seems that Zheng Peng thought she was seeking revenge. Speaking of which, this disaster originated from her.Xie Jiping was just a trigger, and he had already paid the price for it.

What can she do? She just wants to atone for her sins, unlock the forbidden spell, and let the departed soul rest in peace.

"No"

Since it wasn't the case, Zheng Peng didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Then, since everything is fine, can I leave?"

Di Ying stopped him, "No, you have to take me to Shanghai."

If he stayed with her for more than a quarter of an hour, his scalp would feel numb.Feeling uncomfortable all over
"Well, I haven't been there for a long time. I don't even remember those roads."

Diying didn't believe what he said at all. Ever since she woke up, her five senses were sharp and her eyesight was as bright as a torch.All appearances are not confusing to the mind.

"If you don't leave, I have a hundred ways to ask you to leave."

Zheng Peng thought for a moment, weighing the pros and cons.He didn't dare to talk nonsense and asked Di Ying to let him go home and pack his luggage before leaving.

He had little to keep at home and had been living in seclusion for the past few years.I hunt by myself in the mountains, sell some wild game at the market, earn some living expenses to support myself, and don't have too much contact with outsiders.

Afraid of encountering something unexpected on the road, he quietly brought the pistol he had with him just in case.

After the two of them met, there was not a word of nonsense.Then he walked towards Xijiang Village, the only place where there were carriages and horses going to the county seat.Zheng Peng was a smart man and didn't ask any questions along the way.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, we met many villagers in a hurry.Everyone is carrying large and small bags of luggage, dragging their families and families with them.Zheng Peng intuitively felt something was wrong, so he stopped a villager and asked him.

"Brother, why are so many people running away? Did something happen up front?"

The villager looked panicked
"The Japanese are coming to the county town and are about to enter our village. You should run away!"

The villagers continued on their way after saying that.
Of course Zheng Peng understood the seriousness of the matter. During this period, warlords were in chaos and wars broke out.Finally got here.Of course he understood the cruelty of war.Stop where you are and ask Di Ying

"Sister, I'm afraid we won't be able to get to the county seat. Since the smoke has spread here, I'm afraid Shanghai has been lost."

What happened in the past ten years is blank to Diying.But she clearly understood the weight of those two words and no longer embarrassed Zheng Peng.It seems that the plan cannot keep up with the changes.
"Then what are your plans?"

Zheng Peng sneered

"I'm just waiting here. I've been enjoying myself for ten years, and that's enough. But you, sister, even if you have extraordinary abilities, you can't defeat thousands of troops. Why don't you go out and hide first?"

Di Ying returns
"It's a blessing, not a curse. You can't avoid it. I'll wait with you. When the world is calm, you can take me to Shanghai."

Zheng Peng laughed loudly
"I don't know when this fight will end. You are too naive. You can escape on the first day of the lunar month, but not on the [-]th. I may die someday, hahaha."

In this case, Diying took out a bundle of rope and tied Zheng Peng's hands, but he did not resist.He was at her mercy and watching her was like a child playing house.

Diying pulled Zheng Peng and headed in the opposite direction of the crowd. Most of the people were running for their lives and had no time to care about them.Before we arrived at Wanglong Mountain, we occasionally heard the roar of airplanes.Everywhere he went, fireworks filled the air.

On the way, the two almost became cannon fodder, so they untied the rope.Zheng Peng said that no matter where you go at this time, it will be the same and you can't escape.

If she did die in this war, her resurrection would be meaningless.What humans cannot do, God can do.

Finally, he returned to the village. Zheng Peng didn't know what had happened in the village. Of course he didn't know. The second grandfather had blocked everything in the village, and few people in the world knew about it.

Although Zheng Peng was surprised, it was important to save his life now.He didn't dare to say another word. Now he and Di Ying were grasshoppers in the same boat.The cellars in the village are extremely strong and secretly located. Moreover, the Miao Village is now in ruins.There was no way anyone would come.

As long as they don't expose themselves, they might actually be able to escape.In the past few days, Zheng Peng analyzed the situation based on his own experience and the information he received.When he analyzed the situation eloquently to Diying, Diying was already unsure.

"20 days, stick to it for 20 days, and it will be over."

Zheng Peng looked at her in confusion.

"What 20 days?"

Diying has repeated it

"As long as we get through these 20 days, it will be over."

Zheng Peng couldn't believe it
"It's impossible. According to my experience, it will take at least half a year!"

Di Ying didn't want to argue too much with him, as long as everyone could live.

Only when night falls can we secretly go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables and fruits. Even if we only have 20 days, there will be no food in the village.I also need to go to the mountain to find something to eat to satisfy my hunger, and I don’t know what the situation is like down the mountain.

In the past ten days, there has been continuous artillery fire, and there is only some peace at night. No. 11 days, it seems like all the sounds have disappeared.Both of them felt strange, but they didn't dare to act rashly.

It's been 3 days in a row and nothing happened.This really puzzled the two of them.After all, this place is more than ten kilometers away from Xijiang Village, and they don't know the situation outside. It is possible to retreat early, and besides, they have no food to eat.

Zheng Peng decided to go to the village to check the situation and find some food on the way.But Diying didn't want him to take risks, so she coaxed Zheng Peng into saying that she had found a large field of mushrooms in the mountains and that she would pick some for herself.It should be enough for a few days
She actually came back with a basket full of mushrooms, so Zheng Peng was not suspicious.So he took the dagger and set out quietly at night.She was a little worried about Xiao Feng's family, hoping that they would be safe.

Under the cover of darkness, Diying met no one all the way down the mountain.Maybe the situation was not as serious as she thought. When we got to the highway, we could see bombed-out buildings everywhere.

There were rocks everywhere, and here she slowed down.The cat leaned forward and continued to move forward. After walking a few more miles, he arrived at the village.When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we could smell the smell of blood and gunpowder from afar.And the overwhelming resentment made her stomach churn.

When we arrived in the village, we could see burnt bodies everywhere.Even though she has been dealing with ghosts and gods since she was a child, she is still afraid.The whole village was deathly silent.

If you walk further in, you will reach Grandpa Er’s medical clinic.It was pitch dark inside, and there were signs of damage and smashing everywhere.There was no one in the hospital. Could it be possible that they escaped?
When Di Ying was about to leave, there was a riot outside the hospital.Many people were walking towards here holding torches, accompanied by endless cries.

She hid quietly behind the door and watched what happened.
