Chapter 43: Can’t Fall Behind

“To tell you the truth, our family has nothing to do with these farm jobs.

In fact, my family is quite complicated. Even if you tell me, you won’t understand it, and you won’t be able to explain it clearly for a while. "

Xia Zhi didn't know what to say. Seriously speaking, her biological parents were high-level intellectuals.

It has nothing to do with milking cows or doing farm work.

But who would believe it?

"I'll milk the cow, and you go collect the eggs."

Zhou Zhengan was a little worried when he saw the cow's hooves kicking lightly.

The cow must be very hungry, so she is a little impatient.

If you really mess up, you might hurt Xia Zhi.

"I don't need help. More importantly, Captain Zhou, can you milk a cow?"

Xia Zhi didn't think Zhou Zhengan knew how to do this kind of work.

This is Captain Zhou.

“I see you don’t need any help at all, but you’ll find out if I do.

We are friends.

It's not that you can't get things done, it's that two people working together can do things faster than one person. "

Zhou Zhengan returned what Xia Zhi had just said to her.

She looks like a very gentle girl, but she has a strong character in her bones.

Xia Zhi thought for a moment after hearing this, and finally nodded succinctly.

I listened to others' advice and had enough to eat. In my previous life, I did everything by myself, so I was used to always doing it alone.

Zhou Zhengan is right.

The important thing is that Captain Zhou must retaliate for his anger.

"All right!"

Xia Zhi stood up and gave up the seat next to her.

Zhou Zhengan squatted down and patted the cow gently.

In Xia Zhi's eyes, strong fingers began to work rhythmically.

The hot milk flowed into the bucket, and Zhou Zhengan grinned happily at Xia Zhi.

"Captain Zhou, you know everything. What does your family do?"

Zhou Zhengan said with interest.

"Our family is a big family, but no one in our family knows how to do this job. If my mother heard that I can actually milk cows, she would probably faint."

Xia Zhi had already walked into the fence next to it, and sure enough, he took out five eggs from the nest.

It should be that they were not collected yesterday.

Take five eggs into the house and prepare for breakfast.

Yesterday's egg pancakes have been eaten, and there is ready-to-squeeze milk.

Two bowls of milk, plus four boiled eggs.

The two of them had just finished eating and tidying up when they heard a sound coming from outside.

The Spanish chattering was almost similar to the language they heard yesterday.

Zhou Zhengan looked stern.

The door was ajar, and half of the door was covered. It was precisely because this half of the door blocked the two figures that no one outside could notice that there was anyone in the room.

Zhou Zhengan covered Xia Zhi's mouth with his hand.

Xia Zhi patted his arm to indicate that he would not make a sound.

It's really haunting. Four people committed a murder here yesterday, and they dare to come here today.

The other party's footsteps and voices came towards the door.

As long as you open the door, you can see two people immediately.

Zhou Zhengan leaned behind Xia Zhi, holding the gun at his waist tightly in his hand.

Thanks to the fear of encountering danger when going out this time, I always carry weapons for self-defense.

But there are only six bullets in this pistol.

One pill was used yesterday and there are five more pills left. Now neither of them knows anything about the situation outside.

Zhou Zhengan glanced at Xia Zhi.

He just let it go, he was a man after all, and he was used to encountering such situations.

They train every day to deal with various situations that may arise on the border here.

But Xia Zhi is different. What happened to Zhao Hong and the others yesterday made him realize that girls may have very serious consequences when facing these beasts.

If he were alone, he would fight them.

The two people's bodies were pressed tightly together, hiding behind the door panel.

The voice passed by the door.

Xia Zhi even breathed softly for fear of being discovered.

Because their bodies were so close together, they could even feel Zhou Zhengan's warm breath on their necks.

Their hearts were beating like drums, and the chatter outside passed by the door and actually walked towards the side of the house.

Zhou Zhengan pushed him to the ground from behind and whispered.

"Climb toward the back window!"

And pointed in front of them.

Xia Zhi looked at the window and knew that behind the window should be the cowshed and chicken shed they saw this morning.

Xia Zhi crawled on his hands and knees, trying hard to ignore the rough ground that was aching his palms and knees.

I was secretly glad that it was cold now and I was wearing a cotton jacket and cotton trousers.

Otherwise, we don’t know what the knee will look like.

The strange thing is that even though they were facing such serious danger, she didn't panic at all.

Although her heart was beating wildly, the sense of security that Zhou Zhengan brought her still made her trust Zhou Zhengan.

Zhou Zhengan followed her quickly, his strong shoulders leaning against her thighs.

Use your movements to urge her on.

A sudden sound came from under the window, causing Zhou Zhengan to grab Xia Zhi's ankles and pull her flat on the ground.

Xia Zhi lay flat on the ground, with Zhou Zhengan's warm body on top of her.

She knew that Zhou Zhengan was trying to make her stop.

There were hens in the chicken shed, and it was obvious that these people discovered that this was a livestock shed.

Soon the sound of those people leaving was heard.

Zhou Zhengan half-knelt and pushed open the window. From here, he could see outside clearly.

Except for the cow pacing in a panic, those people were gone.

The two people lay motionless under the window.

After about a few seconds, Zhou Zhengan finally pushed open the window.

And pushed Xia Zhi's back to let her climb over the window.

Xia Zhi held her breath and endured her frantic heartbeat.

She held the window with both hands, but she felt her hands and feet were weak.

Suddenly someone grabbed Xia Zhi's shoulders and sprayed warm breath on her ears.

"Xia Zhi, don't be afraid, I'm behind you, we must escape."

The powerful force directly supported half of her body.

Xia Zhi bit the tip of her tongue, and the smell of blood reminded herself that this was a critical moment.

She couldn't hold back. Judging from the sound of the voice just now, there were at least four people on the other side.

Or even more.

Zhou Zhengan couldn't deal with so many people alone.

If the two of them fall into the hands of these people, I'm afraid her fate will not be much better than Zhao Hong and the others.

It's not certain that someone can come to save them now.

Xia Zhi gritted her teeth and climbed out of the window. The moment she landed, she felt like a stone and didn't know how to react.

Zhou Zhengan jumped out of the window neatly, landed behind her, and then gently closed the window.

The cow made an anxious sound.

Zhou Zhengan pulled Xia Zhi up and pushed her towards the haystack next to her.
