Chapter 119: 1 Death and 1 Lost

Someone couldn't help but come up to him and say, "Hey, little brother, where did you learn this skill? I see that your moves are very neat and beautiful. Can you help me ask your master if he is still accepting disciples? Although I am old, I have been active since I was a child. I think I have a good physique. Maybe we can become fellow disciples?"

Zhou Guo saw that the man was in his twenties, much older than his uncle, and shook his head and said bluntly: "You are old, your bones are old, it's not suitable."

other side:"……"

Everyone saw that there was something going on, and they all came up and said, "Well, Zhou Guo, right? I'm too old to learn, but I have two sons at home, both of them are very naughty, they are about your age, this one is young."

"Hey, hey, there's me and me. I have four children at home, both boys and girls. Why don't you go talk to your master about it later?"

Zhou Guo was surrounded for a while. Everyone wanted to learn martial arts, and they squeezed forward one by one, busy recommending themselves and their children. The voices rang in her ears, and she was overwhelmed by the chattering.

Zhou Dacang rushed forward to pull the man away. The child was still injured. He was stabbed on the arm and the back. The clothes on the shoulder were torn and the skin was abraded. He needed to rest with all the injuries!

"Make way, make way, make way. Our old man doesn't accept any disciples anymore, no more! Hey, don't push in, don't crowd her, she's still injured, why do you guys suddenly want to learn kung fu?" He shouted anxiously while pushing people away.

But I couldn't move it.

You have to learn some skills. Don’t you see? There are bandits everywhere now. How can you protect yourself and your family if you don’t learn some kung fu?

Zhou Guo didn't move, nor was she in a hurry. Her voice wasn't louder than theirs, and she couldn't squeeze out. She simply sat cross-legged on the ground, supported her chin with one hand, and closed her eyes leisurely. She hadn't rested yet, so she took a rest.

Now everyone was dumbfounded. How could this child fall asleep while talking?

Are you listening to them?

After a while, the sound of talking gradually disappeared.

Someone said, "I think he was too tired and didn't rest. Let's talk about this later. Let the child sleep more. He is still growing. He has so many injuries on his body. I don't know if he will have any root cause of disease. Let's get rid of them all."

She recognized that it was Zhu Dazui's voice.

It’s great that Zhu Dazui is still alive. He can go back to see his wife and children.

After a while, the crowd dispersed automatically.

Zhou Dacang's face was covered with sweat. "How are you? Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

Zhou Guo opened his eyes and said, "Uncle, we have to hurry."

……

A group of people led horses, carried the seriously injured and hurried along the official road.

There are dense woods on both sides.

She kept wiping the traces while hurrying on her way, but she still hadn't caught up with the main group until dark.

Although everyone was very tired at this time, they all wanted to see their families urgently and did not want to stop for a moment.

The group finally caught up with the large army that was resting on the official road in the middle of the next day.

"Hey, look, is that in front?"

"Oh, yes, the last one, isn't that Shopkeeper Xue who sells tea in the south of the city? We finally caught up with him. Hey, hey, we're back!"

The person in front looked back.

As soon as he saw the wounded soldiers with various wounds bandaged, he burst into tears, "They're back, they're back, they're finally back!"

As soon as the two sides met, they ran towards each other excitedly.

Zhou Guo took a quick look and felt something was wrong. There seemed to be more people here. There didn't seem to be so many before she left. Where did these extra people come from?

She went forward quickly and saw her master coming to greet them halfway, but she didn't see any of her family members.

When the old man saw the two of them, he first looked them up and down. Seeing that they were in good spirits, he knew that nothing serious happened and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he sighed in a sad tone.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? Why are you sighing for no reason? Guoguo and I are fine. We just have some minor injuries on our bodies. It's nothing serious. Look." Zhou Dacang stretched out his hands and motioned for him to look.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Guo knew that something must have happened at home, so he strode forward.

……

She found her family under a big tree, looked around the crowd, and realized that two people were missing, which made her feel nervous.

"Hey, why don't you go over there? Go over there." Zhou Dacang caught up and was a little surprised to see her standing there motionless.

When Li heard the voice, she looked up and saw her daughter wrapped in wounds. Her dazed expression finally showed some reaction. She stood up tremblingly and was about to come over, but was supported by Zhou Mai.

When Zhou Guo saw her mother's red and swollen eyes, she panicked, her hands and feet suddenly became weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

……

"Oh, your brother is missing, and now we don't know whether he is alive or dead, and his whereabouts are unknown. Your younger sister Zhou Tao was fed a piece of dessert by her mother, and she got a gasp due to weakness, and she got stuck, and she just died." The old man had a sad face and sighed again. Who could have thought that such a thing would happen out of the blue?

It was like a bolt from the blue. Zhou Guo felt as if a thunder exploded beside his ear. Everything went dark in front of his eyes and he could hear and see nothing for a moment.

It took Zhou Dacang a while to realize what the old man was talking about. He subconsciously searched back and forth in the crowd for several times, but he still couldn't find the two mischievous familiar figures. "No, how is it possible? I don't believe it! They were fine when we separated, how come one is missing and the other is gone?"

When Huang saw her son and granddaughter returned safely, her tense figure relaxed unconsciously and she let out a breath.

Zhou Dacang's eyes were red, and he didn't want to believe this fact. But when he looked at his eldest sister-in-law who was silent, crying, or laughing, holding a piece of clothing in her arms, and then at his second sister-in-law whose eyes were swollen from crying, he couldn't say anything to question her. He just said, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Huang was speechless. She looked at her two daughters-in-law, shook her head and sighed. The white hair on her temples became more numerous overnight, as if she had aged again in an instant.

It took Zhou Guo a long time to feel better. He could hear things again and his eyes became clearer. However, his head felt heavy and his feet felt light. He almost collapsed after taking a step.

The old man quickly pulled him up and said, "You have to hold on. You can't collapse. Your mother is still waiting for you. The little guy Zhou Su is also waiting for you. I have looked around and found nothing. Finding nothing is good news. He may still be alive."

That’s right. Zhou Guo gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up.

She walked forward step by step until she came in front of her mother.

Squat down.

He reached out his hand to wipe the tears from her face and comforted her: "Mom, it's okay, I just need to find it back if I lose it. I will go and look for it, and I will definitely find it back!"

The voice is hoarse and low.
