96. Long time gone

The carriage was not running very fast, and even though Yan Yu kept whipping the two horses with his whip, and the sound of "driving" was continuous, we could still see someone chasing us closely.

After all, a horse used as a cart must not be a good horse, and it should be tired after tossing for an hour. Although Yan Yu is a girl who can't compare to those expensive official ladies, it is not hard to follow me on weekdays, and she can be regarded as pampered compared to other maids in the house, so how can she drive such a professional technical job.

The guards behind the car, who gradually became blurred, were still struggling to entangle the countless black-clothed people, in order to trip them in case anyone came to chase us, they had already put on a desperate posture, and under their swords, people kept lying on the ground, but there were also stabbing swords on them, and the originally fresh smell of grass and trees was instantly dyed with a strong smell of blood.

I hid my mouth and nose and leaned against the car window, retching, and sat on my knees as I tried to support my shaking body. With a cough, two arrows flew out of the window at the same time, and the salvo hit the green road next to the carriage, and I straightened my back with my hand clenched tightly.

The roof of the car slammed down, and before I could look up, a big hand was stretched out and grabbed on the window frame, revealing two fierce eyes, this is the legendary murderous aura. It's just, what are these people trying to do? If it is a robbery, how can it be so fierce, if it is a mouthful, what is the use of killing a woman of mine? Do they really know who is in the wagon?

In such a situation, where can the three of us women escape? The two guards can't see the shadow anymore, life and death are unknown, do you want Yan Yu and Ruyi to be injured in order to protect me?

My mind seemed to be suddenly clear, and I pushed Ruyi away, pulled a hairpin from my head, and stabbed it towards the big black hand on the car window, and as the blood spurted out, I clenched the window and shouted, "Yan Yu, stop!" ”

The horse neighed, the car suddenly stopped and leaned back, a strange cry on the roof of the car followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the owner of the eyes outside the window also fell to the side of the road by inertia.

"Fujin?" Yan Yu lifted the curtain, her face was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and when she saw me shaking her head and standing up with Ruyi in her hands, she turned around and jumped out of the carriage, and the whip in her hand was quickly and accurately thrown on the face of the black-clothed man who had just stood on the side of the road.

I helped Ruyi to carefully jump out of the carriage, and watched Yan Yu fight against the two big men with a horsewhip, it turned out that ...... This girl's kung fu is so powerful. If it weren't for today's distress, I would have always thought that she was weak and delicate, but now it seems that she can obviously be a guard, no wonder Yinzhen asked me to take her out.

Yan Yu is like this, what about Ruyi?

Looking at Ruyi, who was protecting me in front of me, she conjured a soft sword out of nowhere, and the posture of holding the sword was a bit chivalrous, I couldn't help but open my mouth to test, "Ruyi, you go and help Yan Yu." ”

Ruyi didn't even look back, staring around intently, her voice soft but firm, "No, the slave is here to protect Fujin." ”

I need to be able to protect it, too!

Seeing that the number of the other party is increasing, two girls who know martial arts and I am a pregnant woman, not to mention that I am pregnant, even if I am as light as a swallow now, the three of us women can't beat so many strong and healthy men.

Yan Yu, who was surrounded by the group, couldn't hold on anymore, the whip was wrapped in a sword, and it fell downwind in an instant, the back of the whip was swept by the sword, and the sleeves were picked out with a long gap. Bright red blood dripped directly on the green grass, and the strong contrast between red and green was terrifying.

Ruyi next to the carriage swayed left and right with a soft sword, and her skilled swordsmanship pulled out one sword flower after another, but unfortunately she faced too many enemies, and her kung fu was not under her.

Looking up at the dazzling sunlight deep in the shade of the trees, I closed my eyes slightly, clenched my fists and took a deep breath, and when I opened my eyes again, I threw the hairpin in my hand on the face of a person beside Ruyi, and shouted with all my strength: "Stop!" ”

A few of the black-clothed puppets wielding long swords were stunned, but after a while, they actually stopped and formed a large circle to enclose the three of us on the side of the carriage. Ruyi helped the injured Yan Yu to stand beside me, still holding a soft sword in a defensive state.

Gently took off Yan Yu's injured right arm, and was cut by the sword blade up to the opening of the forearm, and in addition, the light yellow coat at the shoulder was actually stained with blood. Leaned her against the side of the carriage, took two steps forward and swept around, black-clothed, masked, long sword, and slaughter, all of them looked similar, and when they couldn't distinguish, they caught a glimpse of a burly figure with scars on the sideburns, and the corners of his eyes showed a smile, and he sorted out his thoughts a little in his heart and tried to look at his eyes calmly, "I don't know where you came from, why you are entangled in the forest today, and now there is no point in saying more, just ask, ask for money...... Or do you want to die? ”

The person I questioned was not ambiguous, he took a few steps forward with a long sword in his hand, pointed the tip of the sword in front of me, and said in a hoarse voice: "Madame is very calm, since you asked, I might as well tell you directly, our brother is only for money." Helplessly, Madame's maids and maids all have special skills, forcing my brothers to kill them. ”

Listening to this person's words, it doesn't look like the ignorant grass cowards who rob homes and houses in my impression, so neatly organized, even if it robs, there should be rules. It's just that there are bandits in the capital? Or is this place far away from the suburbs of Beijing? The guards were gone, only two girls...... I have to find a way to let someone go back and report the news.

I can't think too much, and the other party won't give you time to think about it at this time, so I took a bold step forward, but the tip of the sword immediately retracted half a point, and it was about to be against the tip of my nose. Gently flicked it away with his fingers, and looked directly into the other party's eyes calmly, "Dare to ask, but the master?" Even if you are seeking wealth, there are more than a dozen of your brothers, but I am only three little women here, whether it is the morality of the rivers and lakes, or the so-called thief or the way, there is no need to harm our lives. In the capital, although my family is not rich and rich, but also has some wealth, but today to go out is not prepared, the head of the family please set a day is still here, will definitely send someone to send you to send it, so good? ”

"Madame understands things, but you should have heard the old saying that a thief does not go empty, if you come out to fight with others in vain this trip, and the brothers are injured and red, but there is no gain, I am not good to explain to them as a big brother. Since my wife's family lives in the capital, I will go back with me today, and report the address, and I will send my brothers to your house to pick it up. After the thief boss finished speaking, he raised his left hand and waved it behind him, and three or four people had already stepped forward and reached out to grab Yan Yu and Ruyi.

Seeing the situation, the two girls quickly stood beside me with swords and horsewhips, and the tip of Ruyi's sword had already pointed to the boss's front door, Yan Yu shook off the horsewhip and shouted, "Let my family go...... Madame, if you want to bring someone back, I'll go with you. ”

The thief boss snorted coldly, ignoring the tip of the sword that wished for him, and smiled coldly at Yan Yu: "What do you want you to do with a stinky girl, I don't have to hurt my wife and break my soldiers, and I can't see each other." ”

"That's right, even if you want to bring it, you have to take me, who can't run away with Rokka. I just hope that the head of the house will be true to his words, and let me go back after receiving the money, otherwise, one corpse and two lives, and two people and money will be empty. After speaking, I turned to Yan Yu and looked at her seriously, "You and Ruyi go back first, take a look at the two guards on the way, and see the fourth master...... Just say I'm fine, prepare silver and wait for news, as for other things, don't mention it. ”

"Slave and maid ...... you"

Before Yan Yu's words were finished, the thief boss shook the hilt of his sword, and the tip of the sword shook between my fingers with trembling, and I heard him shout dissatisfiedly: "Now that I have the final say, Madame has planned too carefully, who said that she would let them go back?" ”

"Don't let them go back? It seems that you have no worries about food and clothing, are you going to support three people? I smiled and said, and then changed the finger that was lightly gripping the tip of the sword to grasp the blade of the sword, pressed it against the throat and stared at the thief leader and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, this girl has a very strong temperament and good kung fu, so if she follows me, I will not cause trouble for you." It's better to let them go back, and it is better to talk to the family first, and prepare the silver taels for you in advance, so that when your brother goes to get them, there will be no delay. ”

The thief listened to my words, his brows tightened more and more, the sword in his hand wanted to be retracted but was held tightly by me, the palm of his hand was cold, and he felt the warmth in his palm, Yan Yuhe and Ruyi anxiously grabbed my arm, and moved his mouth a few times but did not make a sound. Seeing that he was hesitant in the confrontation, I was busy glancing at Yan Yu, "Don't go quickly, go back to find the fourth master." ”

Yan Yu bit her lower lip and nodded vigorously and ran in the direction of Ruyi's coming.

When the two of them had run far away, there was no shadow to be seen, and I let go of the sword, put my hands on my legs, walked to the carriage, grabbed the hem of my skirt and sat down, leaned against the window, and called out to the thief, "Go to your house." ”

~~~

This is no ordinary den of thieves!

Although it is secluded and difficult to find in the mountains and forests, the village is very well organized, there are many people, and there are many horses, cattle and sheep, and it seems that life is quite good.

It really made me get it right, and I didn't have to worry about food and clothing.

However, a group of people who have lived such a nourishing life still need to come out to rob? Isn't this a heart that can't get along with yourself? Could it be that these people have long been good but thieves are difficult to change, and they can't help but want to rob a ticket when they encounter a carriage to succeed the heroes of the year? With my intellect and experience, it's really hard to understand.

What makes me even more incomprehensible is that since they have successfully robbed me, they should have asked for an address to collect money, but they actually left me aside and ignored me, if it wasn't for the food delivered on time every day, I really thought that I had been forgotten in the corner.

Watching the sun rise and set from the window of the hut every day, and the moon changing from the first quarter to the last quarter, I felt more and more that this thing was really nonsensical. I have to comfort myself that these idlers who have reformed their evil ways are bored and panicked, and after not being in contact with the promising profession of robbery for a long time, they have lost their professional quality and are not in work at all.

However, even if they don't worry about food and clothing, they shouldn't let a big-bellied woman like me, who eats two meals for one person, live here for nothing. The Fourth Master's Mansion has saved money, aren't they losing a lot?

In this kind of boring conjecture day after day, I deeply felt that I was out, and for the first time I felt that there was an insurmountable gap between myself and this era. I was not like a hostage, but more like a person who came to this small village with beautiful mountains and rivers to recuperate, except that I could not move freely and was locked up in a small room, and my life was extremely comfortable.

The most common thing I do is to lightly place my palms on my round belly, with occasional movements. Every now and then, I imagine her rolling over, or kicking her little feet, or stretching her fists. I haven't seen a doctor for a month, and there won't be a doctor here who will be considerate enough to bring me in, but fortunately, she is in good health now.

Sitting by the window and looking at the faint yellow moonlight, you can hear the crisp and long chirping of insects in the quiet summer night, except for the familiar low voice.

In the dead of night, there is always a voice in my heart that calls clearly: Yinzhen.

Do you hear me call you?
