My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 205 The Road to Escape
Lao Zhang helped his son into the car. Zhang Fan was unfortunately shot in the arm during yesterday's resistance. Fortunately, there is a hospital in the community, which saved his life.

Because the preparations were made in advance, the family quickly drove the car and set off with the convoy.

"God bless, it must be safe and sound." Gao Yuemei held her grandson in her arms, mumbling incessantly.

Zhang Fan's daughter-in-law sat next to her husband with a distressed expression. At this time, she was really terrified.

Last night, the gunfire rang all night, she didn't dare to sleep at all, exhaustion and fear filled her brain, it was a kind of torture.

Due to the poor visibility, the speed of the convoy was very slow, but fortunately, the distance from the Pelican Hill community is not too far, and it is estimated that they should be able to arrive before dark.

It's a pity that things backfired, the convoy was blocked halfway, the front was full of abandoned cars, and all kinds of luggage fell all over the floor.

Zhang Ming got out of the car and inquired around, and came back in less than 10 minutes.

"How's the situation?" Lao Zhang asked anxiously.

"This road is impassable, and the next road can only be walked." Zhang Ming was full of worry.

Gao Yuemei immediately became anxious: "Then what about our luggage, there are so many cans in the car?"

"Don't take your luggage, just bring as many cans as you can!" Zhang Ming lamented.

"Zhang Ming is right. If you lose your luggage, you lose it. Ration is the most important thing." Old Zhang agreed.

Gao Yuemei wanted to argue a few words, but was interrupted by her son, Zhang Fan persuaded loudly: "Mom, stop talking, pack your things quickly, if you delay any longer, you won't be able to keep up with the team."

A word awakened the dreamer, and the family began to take the time to repack their luggage.

The suitcase was emptied, and the clothes were thrown aside.

"Where's the milk powder, quickly put it in a rucksack." The first thing Gao Yuemei thought of was milk powder.

It has been almost half a year since I came to the beautiful country, and now I only have one and a half barrels of the original four barrels of milk powder. Their little Zhang Tao survived the flu epidemic only by relying on this milk powder.

"The powdered milk is here."

Lao Zhang took out the milk powder from the trunk and stuffed it into his son's backpack. Although Zhang Fan's right hand was injured, the backpack was not affected.

Next, Zhang Ming and Lao Zhang packed the two suitcases full of canned food, mostly canned meat.

In addition, I also packed a few sets of clothes for Xiao Zhangtao. As for other things, except for some jewelry and drinking water, most of them were discarded.

Reluctantly looking back at the car, the whole family followed the crowd on the road again.

Perhaps due to the dual effects of sandstorms and smoke, the next journey was safe and sound. The large army successfully reached the outskirts of the Pelican Hill community, less than ten kilometers away from the destination.

Because the temperature dropped sharply at night, and everyone walked all day, they were seriously exhausted, so everyone decided to set up camp on the spot and set off again tomorrow morning.

Lao Zhang quickly found a place to stay: "Zhang Ming, this place is not bad. It can keep out the wind a little bit. Let's rest here, shall we?"

"Okay, I'll light the fire."

The temperature at night is very low, minus eight or nine degrees, and there is no campfire to keep warm, which is very difficult.

There is no shortage of firewood in the mountains, and the bonfire was quickly lit.

Gao Yuemei and Zhang Fan's daughter-in-law started to prepare dinner, and they didn't pay much attention to it. They just handcuffed the canned food with a fire, and they could eat it when it was hot. They also boiled a pot of boiling water for Xiao Zhang Tao to make milk powder.

After a simple and sumptuous dinner, Gao Yuemei and the others fell asleep one after another, while Zhang Ming and Lao Zhang were on duty, one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half of the night.

All night without incident.

Early the next morning, the dust storm abated a bit, but visibility remained low.

After breakfast, the large troops continued to move forward, but unexpectedly, the group ran into a group of broken rioters head-on.

A fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, and the two teams scattered.

Old Zhang was unlucky, before he took two steps, he was hit by a stray bullet and killed on the spot, without leaving a last word.

The family ignored their grief and supported each other to retreat to the rear.

People kept falling on the road.

For a while, everyone was in danger, and they couldn't tell who was a friend and who was an enemy, only to see bullets flying all over the sky.

After a while, Zhang Fan's daughter-in-law met the same ending as Lao Zhang. She was shot in the chest, and she was dying.

"Wow wow wow..."

Maybe it was frightened, maybe it was the telepathy between mother and child, Xiao Zhangtao suddenly burst into tears.

"Wife, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Fan hugged his daughter-in-law so tightly that the wound on his right arm burst instantly, and his sleeve was stained red.

"Go, go quickly..." Zhang Fan's wife pushed her husband hard.

"I'm carrying you behind my back." Zhang Fan didn't want to give up.

Zhang Ming pulled his nephew, and Zhang Fan's wife fell to the ground.

"Uncle, don't pull me!" Zhang Fan shook off the opponent vigorously.

The situation was urgent, so Zhang Ming yelled at her with a big mouth, "Wake up, your wife is hopeless, let's go quickly, don't forget you still have Zhang Tao."

When mentioning his son, Zhang Fan finally regained some sense. Enduring his grief, he took off his coat and covered his wife's face, and then moved on.

I ran more than 1000 meters in a row and stayed away from the center of the battle for the time being.

Zhang Ming supported his sister-in-law to sit on the rock to rest. Gao Yuemei was in a daze at this moment, she just knew that she was holding her grandson in a daze, losing two family members in a row, so she hadn't reacted yet.

"Wow..." Little Zhang Tao was still crying.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..." Zhang Ming shook the other party.

"What's wrong?" Gao Yuemei asked subconsciously.

"Look at the child."

Gao Yuemei finally woke up, she quickly checked her grandson, but fortunately there was no wound on his body, "Tao Tao, don't cry, grandma is here."

After coaxing for a while, little Zhang Tao finally stopped crying.

Zhang Fan hugged his son with a sad face, hugged him very tightly, and couldn't stop his tears no matter what.

"Zhang Fan, you hurt the baby." Zhang Ming stepped forward to remind him.

"I don't want you to pretend to be kind. If it weren't for you, our family would stay in the country well. My father wouldn't die, and neither would my wife. It's all your fault." Zhang Fan said without hesitation.

These words made Zhang Ming speechless, and at the same time, his heart was filled with great guilt. What the nephew said was right, he was indeed the one who harmed the elder brother's family.

Gao Yuemei stepped forward and slapped her son hard, "No one forced you to come to Beautiful Country, you are an adult now, so don't blame others for the choices you make."

After speaking, he hugged his grandson and walked aside.

Zhang Fan was just about to apologize to his uncle, but the next second he was shot in the left chest, his mouth full of words retracted in his stomach for a moment, and he fell straight down.

"Son..." Gao Yuemei rushed over immediately, almost on the verge of despair.

Zhang Ming killed the shooter with one shot, and then hurried forward to check on his nephew's injuries.

Zhang Fan shook his head: "Uncle, I...can't do it anymore, my mother and Zhang... Tao will leave it to you."

"Son, stop talking stupid things, you and your father are gone, how do you let your mother live?" Gao Yuemei cried bitterly.

Zhang Fan was already on his deathbed, so he stretched out his hand to touch his son's little face with difficulty. The little guy looked at his father with a big smile on his face.
