Chapter 240: Encountering Robbers on the Road

Mu Zhiyan went back to his house in a daze, and when he sat down, he was shocked to realize that he had taken the white fungus lily soup back to his house, and he could only tell the little maid to send it to his grandmother, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he sat in the room.

When Mu Zhiyue heard the news, the water that had just entered her throat immediately choked, and Xiao Zhuo, who came to tell her, was shocked, and helped her smooth her back for a long time before she was relieved.

Mu Zhiyue stopped for a while and still felt that this fact was too coincidental, the second sister here was depressed, and the second lady Jin came to talk over there, could it be that Mu Zhiyan and Jin Lin were already in love.

She hadn't figured it out yet, so Mu Zhiyan came to Qingxi Garden to look for her.

The maid welcomed the two girls in and went down together, Mu Zhiyan sat there and stopped talking, Mu Zhiyue probably guessed why she came, and sat quietly with her without talking.

After being silent for a long time, Mu Zhiyan couldn't help it, and didn't raise his head and whispered: "A few years ago, when my father was transferred to Beijing, I went back to Fengyang with my mother to live, and I rushed over after my father took care of all the matters in Beijing."

Her eyes were fixed on her fingers, as if to speak of an unrelated person.

That year, there was a great drought in Shandong, the fields were barren, and many people had no harvest, so there were many displaced people. Although Mu Zhiyan and the eldest lady were light and simple, because the property around them was coveted by others, a group of homeless people saw that they were few and deliberately scattered them, and she was only accompanied by a grandmother who had been with her for many years."

Those people took advantage of the chaos to rob their belongings, and at this time there happened to be a caravan passing by, and when they saw this scene, they stepped forward to help disperse the displaced people, so that the things that the eldest lady brought would not be robbed, and when she heard that the group was also going to the capital, she begged them to go with them, and those people did not want to agree, and they couldn't bear Mrs. Mu's bitter pleading and agreed.

They followed the caravan for almost a month, and suddenly one day when they came to a canyon, they met bandits, although there was a caravan's dart master, but there were too many people on the other side, the team was scattered again, and Mu Zhiyan couldn't find the eldest lady, so he could only run forward with the crowd. At this moment, a hand behind her suddenly grabbed her, and she was so frightened that she yelled and ran in a panic when she finally broke free.

She didn't know how far she had run, or where she had gone, except for the sound of the wind in her ears and the sound of walking with leaves, but the people behind her were still in hot pursuit.

Just when Mu Zhiyan didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw a young man in a green shirt not far away who was bending his bow and arrows towards a roe deer not far away, and she shouted in excitement, startling away the roe deer he was about to shoot.

When the young man saw this scene, he shot an arrow at the person who was chasing Mu Zhiyan, but the surrounding forest was deep and leafy, and the arrow missed its head and only grazed the man's ear, but this angered him even more, and he chased even tighter.

When the boy saw that the situation was not good, he pulled her and ran.

The young man seemed to be very familiar with this forest, and he couldn't hear the footsteps behind him after just a few turns, but at the same time, Mu Zhiyan also felt that he was about to lose his ability to run, and the burning sensation in his throat and the almost weak legs and feet reminded her.

The boy seemed to see her discomfort, and stopped, saying, "You are too slow on this foot, I know that there is a cave not far ahead, and if you stick to it, the bandits will not find us."

Mu Zhiyan could only grit his teeth and persevere, and finally saw that there was no way in front of him after half a pillar of incense, and the young man looked at the vine-covered half of the cliff and walked over, and when he opened the vines, he saw a half-human-high hole.

After the young man took the lead in getting in, he asked Mu Zhiyan to go in too, she hesitated, no matter how bad it was, it was better than being caught by those bandits, so she simply gritted her teeth and got in.

There was no sunlight in the cave, and a damp air came to my face, but it was no longer the time to worry about that.

The two of them broke countless branches along the way, and the bandits quickly followed the traces, and there was one more person at this time.

Mu Zhiyan heard the two of them whispering outside, saying that he didn't expect the caravan to hire such a powerful dart master, and this time he was likely to return in disappointment, but the one they were chasing must be a rich lady, and if she caught her and threatened her mother, she could exchange it for some silver taels.

When the two people in the cave heard this, they held their breath and stared, for fear of making a slight movement for the people outside to notice.

However, when Mu Zhiyan heard them say this, he knew that his mother must be fine, and his tense heart was also relieved a little.

Only then did she realize that she had a pair of sparkling eyes in front of her, which she could clearly see even in this dark cave, and only then did she realize that the cave was very small, and both of them were squatting in it, and their knees touched each other's.

I really wanted to move back, but the cave was too small and there was nowhere to avoid, and I was afraid that I would make a noise for people outside to hear, so I could only endure it.

The two of them kept this action for two sticks of incense, knowing that they dared to move their numb legs and feet a little as they listened to the two of them gradually walking away, but they still didn't dare to go out.

The young man saw that she still looked like she was still palpitating, so he spoke to comfort her, and after a conversation, Mu Zhiyan's fear was a little less, and at this time, he couldn't help but think that his mother was still alive and dead, although the mother should be fine between the words of the two chasing bandits, but she was still not at ease, so the sorrow that had just faded slipped out again.

Seeing this, the young man thought for a moment and said, "You wait here with peace of mind, those two have just walked away from here, and they will definitely not come back, I will go down to help you explore first, and if your family is still there, I will bring them to you."

Mu Zhiyan didn't have a better way at this time, he clumsily followed him and was found by the gangsters, so he ripped off a pair of lapis lazuli earrings on his ears as a token, and asked her to meet Mrs. Mu and hand it to her.

It was slowly getting dark, and Mu Zhiyan hid in the cave alone and didn't even dare to move, and even breathed very lightly, for fear that a slight movement would attract bandits or mountain beasts.

There were only two teas, but Mu Zhiyan felt as if two days and two nights had passed, and when she was suffering in every way, there was a rustling sound in her pricked ears, and she immediately became alert.

She only heard the sound getting closer and closer, Mu Zhiyan didn't make a rash sound, and after a while, the vines blocking the entrance of the cave moved, and the young man's still immature face appeared in front of her, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Puzzled: "Didn't you find my mother?"

The young man's face was a little different when he first saw him, and Mu Zhiyan's heart thumped suddenly, could it be that something had happened to his mother.
