Ping An Biography
Chapter 8
In this era, there is really no entertainment at night. There should be elegant and colorful activities on the Qinhuai River, but it is not suitable for ordinary people.After dinner, the family sat under the eaves and in the courtyard and continued to chat. The whole house felt dark, and the light from the oil lamp in the main room was not very good. It could not illuminate the space outside the house at all. The house is not as good as the outside Bright on the street.
Suddenly the sky shone brightly, and then there was rumbling thunder. Zhang Shicai looked up at the sky and said, "It will rain tonight." Zou said, "There is thunder in August, and there are thieves all over the place. There is still thunder at this time. OK."
"Everyone go to bed early." Zhang Jiujin stood up.
So the family also stood up and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest.The rooms of Zhang Ning and the younger sister are both in the west wing, and the two rooms are next to each other, so they walked south along the eaves in the dark.Zhang Ning passed by the door of his room and didn't go in. He sent the little girl there first, opened the door and blew the torch in his hand to light the oil lamp, and said, "Close the door and go to sleep." Zhang Xiaomei stood at the door and refused to go in: "Eight It’s scary that there’s still thunder during the month, I’m afraid to go up...or I’ll sleep in my brother’s room tonight, and you’ll be going out tomorrow.”
"How can I do that?" Zhang Ning said seriously, "How old are you, 15 years old! How is it proper to spend the middle of the night with me alone and widowed in the same room? Go back to your room and talk about it tomorrow morning if you have anything to say."
Zhang Xiaomei glared at him with her bright eyes: "Why do lonely men and widows say it so badly? You are my brother, what's the matter? You were unconscious a few days ago, and I stayed in your room for two nights. I won't go back You want to go to my brother's side, you are so strange tonight, you must have something to hide from me."
"No!" Zhang Ning flatly rejected her, probably because his tone was very blunt, Zhang Xiaomei immediately looked at him pitifully, her eyes were already bright with such an expression as if there were teardrops swirling.She paused and then said softly: "Why are you so fierce? You're leaving tomorrow, and I want to pack your luggage for you. I'll go back to your room when I'm done." At this moment, the sky flickered again, and she hurriedly Grab Zhang Ning's arm: "It's so scary!"
In the memory of her mind, this girl seems to be more courageous, Zhang Ning does not believe that she is really afraid of such a little thunder and lightning.He lowered his head and thought for a while, then gently pulled her hand away, pushed her arm into the door, closed the door without any explanation, and said in a relaxed tone: "Little sister is sensible, don't need me to talk anymore, have a good rest."
He turned back and walked back to the door of his room, blowing on the torch and lighting another one as usual, then he closed the door and walked up the stairs.The layout of residential buildings in Nanjing is relatively compact, because the walls are built high, and one wing room is mainly built with wooden boards to become two upper and lower rooms, and the bedrooms are generally on the pavilion.The stairs don't seem to be very strong and they "creak" when you step on them, but it doesn't matter if you get used to them, and they haven't collapsed yet.The floor of the pavilion is made of wood, so people can't move too much when moving on it.
When he went upstairs, he put the lamp on the table and sat for a while on the chair by the window.The wind was blowing outside the window, and the branches were swaying. He smelled the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the wind.Sweet-scented osmanthus, deer crowing feast... Thinking of fame, he still felt somewhat sorry for the former Zhang Ning, who had learned so much hard-won.After a while, it really started to rain outside, and the temperature seemed to drop a little.He took off his robe and lay down on the bed.I couldn't fall asleep at all, tossing and turning, I just felt that tonight was very long.It has been a few days since I came home from the prison, and there is no abnormal situation. If there is anything, it will happen to be tonight?
... I don't know how many days it has been, but he has been in a daze and never really fell asleep.
Suddenly, there was an abnormal sound of "creaking" on the stairs.Zhang Ning sat up reflexively, and there was a loud "wow" on the wooden floor.At the same time, the sound on the stairs disappeared immediately, and the surroundings returned to silence.There was the sound of "woo woo woo" outside, and the surroundings were dark.
In an instant, Zhang Ning's mind became very clear, without any sleepiness, and his heart seemed to be in his throat.He remained in his original state for a moment, then climbed up cautiously, without making any movement; the stairs were also kept quiet, there was no sound at all.
He imagined the situation on the stairs in his mind, maybe the people below were also guessing the situation above, both sides breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was midnight and the weather was bad, there was still light on the windows.Zhang Ning timidly leaned towards the window, gently opened a gap, glanced down, but saw nothing.After silently opening his eyes like this for a while, his eyes have already adapted to the weak light around him.He could even see the position of a stool in front of the window, so he walked over slowly, picked up the stool and walked slowly towards the stairs.
He moved very slowly, lightly and carefully, making almost no sound.Standing at the stairs, the surroundings are still very quiet.He didn't move, and slowly adjusted his breathing. The movement was very light before, but for some reason, he felt a sense of suffocation, a feeling of being out of breath.
Standing so still for a while, he only felt that the time became slower and longer.Many thoughts flashed through his mind, such as yelling for someone, but he quickly gave up on this plan: the house is in an alley, the wind is blowing a lot outside, and it is midnight when everyone around is asleep, it is difficult for anyone to come over in time , but exposed himself; and the Zhang family must be the first to be alarmed. Without knowing the situation and number of the other party, attracting the family members is not only useless, but also likely to harm the innocent... especially Zhang Xiaomei.
There was a voice on the stairs again!Zhang Ning obviously felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up.This time the "crunch" is smaller and the rhythm is slower.
He gently lifted the stool he was carrying with both hands, and carefully took a step forward with one foot to stand firm.After a while, a dark figure slowly appeared at the stairway... Zhang Ning suddenly swept the stool over, there was a "bang", a person screamed dully, and then there was a "boom" "Boom" rolling sound.
Zhang Ning widened his eyes and took a long breath.There was a moment of silence on the stairs again, and then the sound of "huhu" blowing was heard, and then the light below was lit up. The light was very faint at first, but it suddenly became very bright in this silent night. "Crack, creak" came the shaking sound from the broken stairs again, slow but rhythmic.In the slight firelight, a person's shadow was stretched and printed on the old wall.Looking at the black shadow on the wall, Zhang Ning seemed to see a god of death holding a long scythe.
Of course, Zhang Ning doesn't know much about martial arts, and he doesn't even have much practice in fighting. Just now, he beat a person downstairs, but he took advantage of surprise.Now that the opponent is prepared, lighting the fire is a more confident expression, while Zhang Ning loses his confidence in the second round.
At this moment, the light became brighter again.He hurriedly turned his head and glanced out of the window, and the outside suddenly became bright, as if a fire had ignited somewhere, and then he heard the noise of people, and the dead night seemed to wake up in an instant.
"Huh!" A ball of objects flashed by the stairs, Zhang Ning couldn't think about it, he swung the stool again and smashed it over, hitting the object accurately but it felt like it was soft and there was no point of focus, his heart suddenly "thumped" , secretly called bad.It was too late to say it was too soon, a black shadow flashed up, and then something greeted Zhang Ning with a whistling sound of the wind.Zhang Ning didn't know fighting skills at all, and at this moment he swung the stool with all his strength and it was the most difficult to retract, and his body was even more difficult to dodge, so he could only tilt his head, and there was a muffled "bang" in an instant, and his shoulders swelled. The pain almost made the whole arm numb, the foot was unstable and the body staggered.
The person who came was a masked man in black. Fortunately, this guy was not holding a knife!Moreover, Zhang Ning felt that the blunt weapon was still wrapped in cloth when he hit the person. Obviously, the "guest" this time was quite difficult to handle. Not only did he want to kill Zhang Ning, but he also couldn't have obvious evidence of murder.
The stairs creaked again, and it seemed that someone was about to come up.And the masked man who showed up missed Zhang Ning's head with one blow, and was about to pounce on him without stopping for a moment. Although Zhang Ning didn't know kung fu, his reaction was not slow. It moves quite sensitively.When he saw this, he threw the stool in his hand over without thinking, and turned around and ran away regardless of whether he hit it or not.
At this time, he couldn't calm down and think at all, and the time was short, and most of his reactions were based on survival instincts.
The fire was brightly lit outside the window, and the bright light seemed to be very tempting to him. At this moment, he seemed to be seeing the light before dying last time, and his body couldn't help running towards the bright light.When he ran to the window, he came to his senses, opened the window suddenly and rolled over.A whistle came from behind, and Zhang Ning thought quickly: Maybe there are their accomplices down there.
From the window to the ground is less than ten feet. Zhang Ning judged at the critical moment and tried his best to avoid breaking his leg, otherwise it would be better to wait for death.When his body fell, his hands were tightly grasped on the window sill, so as to slow down the speed of the fall.
Both feet landed on the ground with a "tong", and the soles of the feet were painful and numb. Almost at the same time, he found a figure rushing towards this side from the courtyard.Zhang Ning didn't care about the severe pain in his palms and feet, so he ran as fast as he could.He can guarantee that even if he is allowed to participate in the Olympic Games with his current explosive power and speed, he will never be able to perform again.
The door of the main entrance hall was bolted, and the pause between pulling the bolt and opening the door must have caused the people behind to catch up, and once they were entangled, they would not be able to escape.So Zhang Ning didn't run towards the door, but directly rushed towards the wall.Relying on the speed of running, he took a big step, kicked on the wall and sprinted upwards, stretched out his hand and clasped the top of the wall forcefully, and used the momentum to lift his legs up.When the palm touched the real thing, it hurt like a handful of salt had been sprinkled on the wound suddenly. He might have suffered a skin trauma when he jumped out of the window at first, and he didn't even feel whether he was bleeding or not.
When luck came, he couldn’t stop it. The wall was quite high. He succeeded once, and his body rolled over like a horizontal bar. After turning around, he found that the person who was chasing up inside the wall wanted to jump up and catch his feet, but it was a little late.
After climbing out of the fence, Zhang Ning continued to run. Only then did he notice that the fire that he saw before was the neighbor Aunt Li’s house that was on fire. Also ran into the alley.The people in Zhang Ning's family should also be shocked, but he has no chance to manage the family at all. At the same time, he feels that the "guests" who came tonight should not move other people to make things worse.
