Fang Xile didn't have the idea of coming forward to talk, when he was away, having a story meant trouble.

And she hates trouble the most.

However, Tao Ying obviously didn't think so.

She sat next to the woman and startled people.

"Why are you sitting here alone and coming to us to bake a fire!"

The woman looked at it and saw that it was a girl younger than herself, with a round face, freckles on the bridge of her nose, and a pair of dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiled.

"Nope. ”

"Go ahead, just a few of us women, we should take care of each other. ”

Although Daqin women can practice martial arts and their status has improved a lot, there are not many women who really embark on the path of practicing martial arts, and most people will still look forward to their daughters marrying a wealthy family and climbing up.

Moreover, women walking the rivers and lakes are more likely to be targeted and eliminated as weak.

There are not many people who can really ascend to a high position, and they have become innate or even grandmasters.

Like Lady Miru, there are even fewer who can lead a gang.

The woman hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Thank you!"

Tao Ying came back with the woman, and the five of them sat around the fire.

The woman took the initiative to introduce herself: "My name is Liu Yulan, from Bugu County, Xichuan. ”

The rest of the people also said their names one after another, and they knew each other.

Tao Ying asked curiously, "Sister Yulan, why did you go out alone?"

Tao Daniu coughed, and Tao Ying pretended not to hear.

Liu Yulan said in a low voice: "I'm going to Lushui County to find someone." ”

"Lushui County?" Tao Yingle said: "A few of us are going to Lushui County, it's really fate!"

Liu Yulan also smiled at the corner of her mouth, and replied softly: "Yes, what a coincidence." ”

"Girl, this is the corn we brought from home, you taste it, it tastes delicious!" Tao Daniu handed Liu Yulan a piece of corn.

Liu Yulan took a bite lightly, and then her eyes lit up, and she changed her weak posture and gnawed on it in a big gulp.

Several people were dumbfounded.

Liu Yulan realized that she was out of shape, her face turned red instantly, and she stammered and explained: "I, I've been eating steamed buns for several days, so ......"

Tao Ying showed sympathy on her face, and couldn't help but stuff her with a few sticks of corn: "Sister Yulan, even if you eat it, we brought a lot of it!"

Liu Yulan accepted it with a red face and thanked her again and again.

"Your silver has been stolen, right?" Fang Xile said suddenly.

"Huh?" Liu Yulan looked at Fang Xile blankly: "How do you know?"

"There's a hole in your backpack that was sewn up later, and apparently someone cut it open and took the silver taels. ”

Liu Yulan was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed: "Well, I, it's the first time I've gone far away, and I have no experience." ”

"When you go out, you have to be careful in everything than at home. ”

Ning Ziyi glanced at Fang Xile unexpectedly, when did she become so kind?

Fang Xile continued: "Don't run around in the future, in case Brother Ge goes back, you shouldn't be in a hurry if you can't find you." ”

Liu Yulan looked up in surprise: "You, have you seen Ge Lang?!"

From Liu Yulan's mouth, everyone heard a story from a different perspective.

She is a native of the surrounding villages of Bugu County, her family runs a martial arts gym, and her father is the only martial artist in the village.

And Ge Teng is a young man in the village next to him, because of his good talent, he was accepted by his father and carefully taught.

She and Ge Teng are childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses.

When she was fifteen years old, Ge Teng became an acquired martial artist, and the two made a marriage contract, which can be described as double happiness.

By the time she was sixteen years old, Ge Teng had become an acquired second-tier, and her father had nothing to teach him.

So, Ge Teng bid farewell to his master and fiancée and embarked on the road of pursuing martial arts.

The two agreed that they would get married when they came back.

And he left for six years, and at first he would send a letter back home, but two years ago suddenly there was no news.

Everyone persuaded her to marry, saying that the man would not come back.

But Liu Yulan didn't believe it.

She heard that there were a large number of participants in this year's martial arts competition in Lushui County, including three county towns, so she sneaked out of her house.

If Ge Teng heard about such a grand event, he would not have missed it.

After Liu Yulan finished speaking, she looked at Fang Xile urgently: "Miss Fang, when and where did you see Ge Lang?"

"Six months ago," Fang Xile said, "in Hongqing County." ”

Liu Yulan showed a sad and joyful look, and her lips trembled: "Then, Ge Lang, okay?"

"He," Fang Xile said, "He is still alive, and his martial arts have gone further, but he is disfigured." ”

said what happened in Hongqing County.

Liu Yulan's eyes were red, she bit her lower lip, and cried silently.

A girl of Tao Ying's age can't listen to the sad love story the most, and she also wipes her tears.

After a while, Liu Yulan eased up and thanked Fang Xile.

"What are your plans now?"

"When I got to the next county, I changed trains and went to Hongqing County. ”

Tao Ying was anxious: "Sister Yulan, how are you going to go alone! This road is strong, there are many wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, and it is dangerous!"

Fang Xile also persuaded: "Don't worry, maybe Brother Ge Teng really went to Lushui to participate in the martial arts competition! He was there more than half a year ago, and he may not be there now!"

You go to Lushui with us first, if you can't find anyone anywhere, when the competition is over, I will accompany you to Hongqing County. ”

After all, they were companions who had fought side by side, and she couldn't watch his fiancée run away and lose her life.

Liu Yulan was a person who didn't pay attention and had a soft temperament, and as soon as everyone persuaded her, she temporarily put down her anxious mood and agreed to walk with everyone.

After hearing what happened to her, Tao Ying was even more compassionate, stuffed food vigorously, and finally told the people in the convoy to let Liu Yulan come to their carriage to sit.

The people in the convoy are indispensable, as long as they pay for it, it doesn't matter which carriage they go to.

Tao Ying and Tao Da Niu are both thin and small, and the carriage of five people is not crowded.

Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and soon a few days passed.

......

Zhang Shan started driving carriages at the age of eighteen, and now he is in his fortieth year.

At the age of fifty-eight, he was no longer young, and he handed over the work to his son.

He only married a daughter-in-law in his thirties, and only had a son when he was forty, and now his son Zhang Qi happens to be eighteen years old.

"Dad, when will we get to the next county seat? ”

Zhang Shanle smiled: "Don't worry, if it goes well, you can arrive at night." ”

Zhang Qi complained: "I'm fed up living in the mountains, there are too many mosquitoes, Dad's work, how did you do it for so many years." ”

Zhang Shan glanced at his son, with pity in his eyes: "When you have a family to support, you can persevere." Don't look at the hardships of walking in the mountains, but driving a carriage in the city, the money you earn in a month is less than half of this, and you can rest for five days after fifteen days. ”

"I know, Dad, I'll remember my way. ”

Zhang Shan nodded, and then said: "The mountain road is not easy to identify, don't worry, you just came, just follow the car in front." After a long time, I will naturally get to know each other. ”

As he was talking, a few people got off the first carriage, and it was a few guards.

They inspect the convoy once a day, but it doesn't really do much, it just lets the passengers know that they still have someone to protect them, so that they can rest assured.

Zhang Qi looked at it enviously, how good it would be if he could become a martial artist.

In this way, he does not have to be a driver, he can sit in the car safely and securely in the wind and rain all day long, and he is respected by others.

Sure enough, the group walked back and forth symbolically, and then sat back in the carriage.

"Hey," Zhang Qi sighed.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhang Shan shook his head, the martial master is not so easy to be.

When Zhang Qi was a child, he also had hope and took him to participate in the selection of disciples of the sect, but he was all brushed down. The martial arts hall does not require qualifications, but the price is not from a small person like them.
