Chapter 6 Doom Comes
From time to time, a dog barked from a distant village, and the sky gradually darkened.

The pigs in the pigsty were too hungry and howled happily. The pig food was cooking in the pot, and Zhu Chunhua was preparing for the evening meal, wild vegetable nests.

Mrs. Han came in from the outside with a sweet potato in her hand. She didn't wash it and it was still in the pig food pot. She gave Xia Qinghe a blank look and said, "It's really a waste of food to raise you. Remember it for me. If your family finds it Come and answer me."

Xia Qinghe glanced at the sweet potatoes thrown into the pot, they were only as big as three fingers, not to mention full, probably not even enough to fill their stomachs, this Mrs. Han is really greedy, her golden hairpin is enough for Mrs. Han's family One or two years.

The dissatisfaction in her heart is all dissatisfaction, but she still has to do enough on the surface. She said gratefully: "When my family finds me, I will definitely repay your life-saving grace."

Hearing these words, Mrs. Han rejoiced, twisted the waist of the bucket and walked out.

Zhu Chunhua steamed the buns in the pot, and became more and more dissatisfied with Xia Qinghe: "Fire the fire well for me. If the fire goes out, see if I don't smoke you to death, you bastard."

Well, this family is really desperate.

Xia Qinghe sat obediently by the stove. In fact, she wished she could sit behind the stove and light a fire, so that it would at least be warmer.

The Zhu family's laughter came from the main room. Zhu Dachang walked into the stove with a smile, glanced at the steamed buns in the pot, rubbed his hands and slowly approached Xia Qinghe, opening his mouth with big yellow teeth exposed, not to mention how disgusting.

Zhu Dachang squatted beside Xia Qinghe, grinning and said, "I heard that your family is looking for you?"

This must have been said by Mrs. Han to Zhu Dachang. It is estimated that the words of Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Yuan woke up Mrs. Han and let Mrs. Han know that her family can maximize their benefits.

Zhu Dachang used to play tricks on her during the day, she held the tongs in her hands and put them in the fire to burn, and moved her body back.

"Is it because your family members are looking for you? I will warn you first. We are your saviors who said that we should repay us with gratitude. Remember to think of ways to repay us." Zhu Dachang stretched out his black Xixi wanted to touch Xia Qinghe's face with her hand.

Xia Qinghe was on guard for a long time, stood up in fright, pinched the burning tongs in his hand, waved it at Zhu Dachang, and shouted: "Take your dirty hands away."

Zhu Dachang was terrified. Xia Qinghe's loud voice would definitely attract Mrs. Han in the main room, and then he would have to be beaten again, and the tongs were red, and when they touched the meat, they would burn a big blister, and he also took a step back, flustered He yelled at Xia Qinghe in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, if you make trouble again, I'll take care of you. Remember what I told you, or..." He sneered, and strode out in disappointing strides.

Xia Qinghe patted his chest with lingering fear, there was really no one in this family who was normal.

After eating the sweet potato cooked by Mrs. Han in the pig food, Xia Qinghe felt that her mouth was full of pig food, and her stomach began to roll, which was very uncomfortable. Zhu Chunhua lit a torch and fed the pig. The village has become quiet.

After a busy day, she could finally rest. She was worried about Zhu Dachang, so she used two wooden sticks to hold the door, and then went to the straw pile to find the quilt that was black as oil. Fortunately, the straw was relatively dry and she slept on it. Then cover it with a torn quilt, and put some straw on the quilt, which is also very warm.

Drowsily fell asleep.

Suddenly, a scream woke Xia Qinghe up.

"The bandits are coming."

She sat up instinctively in fright, and she saw the fire outside through the gap.

In the yard, Zhu Chunhua was dragged away by the bandits. The pigs in the pigsty and the chickens in the chicken pen were all put in cages by the bandits, and Mrs. Han was tied up by the bandits and thrown into the yard. Zhu Dachang fell like that. Life and death on the ground.

Zhu Dongmei and Zhu Xiaochang curled up beside Mrs. Han.

Those big and thick men with big knives and torches ransacked the yard and the house.

Xia Qinghe had never seen such a battle before, so frightened, he quickly pulled the straw to cover his whole body.

"Go and see what else is in this house."

With a sound of "dong", the door of the firewood room was kicked open. Xia Qinghe could feel the man walking back and forth in the room, and she even saw the man's cold face through the gap. .

She was so nervous that she held her breath and didn't dare to inhale loudly. She could even feel the sound of her heart beating "dong dong".

It was only for a moment, but Xia Qinghe felt like a century had passed, and finally the man walked out with a torch.

"It's just that there is nothing in the firewood room."

Mrs. Han covered her chest with her hands. This action aroused the suspicion of the bandit leader.

The bandit leader kicked Mrs. Han down, and searched the body himself. The golden hairpin hidden in Han Pozi's chest was searched out. The bandit leader was very angry, holding the knife and said sharply: "Didn't you say that you have handed over all the valuable things? court death."

The bandit leader raised a knife and fell Mrs. Han into a pool of blood.

Zhu Dongmei and Zhu Xiaochang screamed in fright, and Zhu Dongmei's cry annoyed the bandit leader.

"Take this little one away too, and go back to be a maid for Madam. As for this idiot... I'm too lazy to kill him."

Xia Qinghe shivered all over, feeling the horror of this era for the first time.

She knew that because of poverty, many people turned into bandits, and the poorer the place, the more bandits, but she didn't expect that she was so unlucky, and all the bad things happened to her, what should I do now?You can only wait until the bandits leave.

In the distant village, the cries of women and children, as well as the crowing of chickens and dogs, can still be heard.

The flames lit up half the sky.

Finally, it was dawn outside, and everything returned to calm. Even though Zhu Xiaochang was stupid, he knew what happened, and cried loudly.

Xia Qinghe got up from the pile of straw and walked out of the yard, only to see Zhu Dachang and Mrs. Han lying in the blood. The blood had changed color, and the dark red blood had solidified and turned dark red.

Zhu Xiaochang's face was full of snot and tears mixed together, and he was very embarrassed.

He shook Zhu Dachang's arm, raised his head and cried, "Daughter-in-law, are my parents asleep?"

Xia Qinghe's heart was full of sadness. She didn't like Zhu Dachang and Mrs. Han very much, but after all, they were living lives. People who were alive and kicking a few hours ago were gone in the blink of an eye.

Both Zhu Dongmei and Zhu Chunhua were taken away, and their fate is still unknown.

She squatted down and touched Mrs. Han's hand, it was cold, and Zhu Dachang was dead.

Such a big change made her unable to accept it for a while, and squatted on the ground in a decadent manner.
