Chapter 4: Ticket Kidnapping
Li Beiyou rested in the small inn for a night, swept away the fatigue of yesterday, the bookcase was carried to his shoulder again, and he could hear the creaking of the stairs when he went down the stairs, which showed how heavy the box was.
Li Beiyou handed over the key at the counter, and lost three Taishun coins, three Taishun coins in one night, which is not expensive, although his hair has never been out of the village, but he studied finance in his previous life, and he has lived here for thirteen years, and the prices of general commodities have long been roughly clear, that is, the prices here have almost not moved.
"Xiao Xiucai didn't wait for the family to go together, the town is more than thirty places away from Qingfeng County, and most of them are mountain roads, recent rumors have come out of the bandits, you go like this, it is indeed a little dangerous. ”
The shopkeeper looked at the polite Li Beiyou, and couldn't help but think of some things that happened recently, so he kindly mentioned it.
"Thank you for the shopkeeper's reminder that there is no one who is accompanied by class at home, but the shopkeeper can rest assured, I don't have much money with me, and the other party wants money to die, and I will give the money to them. ”
Li Beiyou responded, he said so on his lips, and he thought so in his heart, this world is not as good as his previous life, although his life is difficult, but he doesn't have to be afraid of bad people asking for his life.
Even if it is a bandit in this world, it is estimated that they are just greedy for money, and it is indeed rare to kill people if they disagree, otherwise they will be surrounded and suppressed by the government.
The shopkeeper heard a half-old child say this, and he also raised his eyebrows, and found that this child did reveal a trace of spirituality, this time I really want to be in Xiucai, and then I can brag to the villagers, after all, it is the inn where Xiucai lived, and in such a poor mountainous area, it is a great thing to be able to make a show.
Out of the town, all the way north to that, and then walk nearly forty miles is the county seat, the county seat he is going to teach Qingfeng County, the name is good, but the county commander of Qingfeng County is not a two-sleeved Qingfeng.
It is located in the southern part of the Terrans, not a prosperous area near the capital city, and it is also the place where the imperial court exiled officials.
The young county magistrates who come here to be officials are often the descendants who have no way, and if they are old county magistrates, they basically offend people, or commit other things, and they are assigned here.
Therefore, there is always a trace of resentment when you come here to be an official, most of them are broken jars, corrupt, and it is estimated that they are "good as streams".
Li Beiyou is not an official road, there is no official road here, the official road is only the main road of each county, so now Li Beiyou is still a mountain road, only after the county seat, you can take the official road, at that time, whether it is a horse or a carriage is convenient, it is not a problem to travel 100 miles a day.
But walking such a mountain road, it is a little reluctant to walk thirty miles a day, especially since he is still carrying luggage, and he has to spend the night in the mountains.
At noon, the autumn tiger shone on Li Beiyou's body, and at this time, he was already sweating profusely with a bookcase on his back.
Li Beiyou wiped the fine beads of sweat on his head with his sleeve, he knew that he had only walked more than ten miles of mountain roads at this time, and the distance was only nearly half, this was still his desperate hurry, I only hoped that he could go to Qingfeng County later today, this is really not a place to spend the night, this way, his hair did not touch a living person, it was too weird, is there really a bandit here?
Maybe he was afraid of something, Li Beiyou just chattered here, and he heard a sound in the woods in the distance, he could be sure that it was eight people, and listening to the sound of them walking, it should be eight adults.
Li Beiyou has been deaf and clear since he came to this world, and even if the general sound is a golden cicada coming out of its shell, as long as it is within a hundred zhang, it is also clear, as if it is reflected in his mind.
After a while, the puzzled big man surrounded Li Beiyou's group.
"Big brother, how is it a half-grown child, where is there any oil and water here. ”
One of them frowned and said with a mouth full of yellow teeth, they fell into the grass for the sake of women's money, and now there is a weak little showman, where is there any oil and water to fish, but recently there are fewer and fewer people here, maybe they know that there are bandits here, so everyone either does not go to the county seat, and the enchanting detour goes to the county seat, and now they have not opened for ten days and half a month.
At this time, everyone looked at a seven-foot man led by him, this person's face was raw, and ordinary people would weaken their momentum by three points when they saw Wuxing.
And this is a seven-foot man who is also hesitant, and his eyes are also erratic.
Li Beiyou looked at this group of bandits calmly, there was no fear on his face, but in fact, the sadness was already sweating, although this group of people was only for money, but he could feel that it was not impossible for this group of people to kill him when they entered the palace.
"I can't spare the labor brothers, the thin skin and tender meat of this kid's birth, walking alone, although there is no domestic servant to escort him, but it must be a relatively solid family, tie him up, and then let out the wind in the nearby town, there is no hundred taels of silver, don't think about ransom people!"
When the seven-foot man with a cross-faced face said this, the other seven also had bright eyes. Yes, this half-sized boy probably doesn't have any oil and water to fish, but his family is estimated to be relatively solid.
Li Beiyou was actually relieved in his heart, this gang of bandits hadn't thought about his life yet, otherwise he would have collapsed in the middle way twelve years ahead of schedule.
Although Li Beiyou didn't look like he was leading a lot of money, the yellow-toothed bandits still opened the box that was the same height as Beiyou.
Yellow Tooth flipped through it, and found a money bag at the point of the bookbox, as soon as the Yellow Tooth man got his hands on it, he didn't open it, his eyes were happy, and other non-smells were also bright, this half-grown child actually had a lot of silver, not to mention a hundred taels of silver.
So much money is enough for a family of five to live for a few years, this half-old child brings so much, then his family is estimated to be more solid than imagined, maybe this half-old child ran away, as long as this kid is tied, it is estimated that there are still a thousand taels of snowflake silver.
Of course, they can ask for more, but as the situation in Qingfeng County, they also know that there are really not many people who have 10,000 taels of silver at home, but there are still 1,000 taels of silver.
"I didn't expect you kid to steal a lot of money from the family, and in the future of your safety, please ask Mr. Xiao and me to go to our stockade and wait for your family to come and collect people. ”
The man at the head said it was high-sounding, as if the previous conspiracy to kidnap the ticket did not exist.
However, Li Beiyou didn't say much, now that he encountered robbers, he could only obey the other party first and see the situation.
The village of this gang of bandits is not far here, seven or eight miles of mountain roads, but this kid at least doesn't have to carry that bookbox, Li Beiyou is a lot more relaxed, but his mood is still a little heavy.
After all, this is not his previous life, there is a safe social system, and it is estimated that the head will fall to the ground if he is not careful, so along the way, Li Beiyou is also very quiet, not crying or making trouble, which makes the eight bandits a little surprised.
It's not that the yamen has never hijacked a child of this size, but which one is not the crotch of the diaper, crying dad and calling mother, where is it like the one in front of him, more quiet than an old Jianghu.
When I arrived at the village, I said that it was a village, but it was actually a cave, and at this time there were ten bandits gathered in the cave, all of whom were fierce and vicious.
Li Bei swam into the cave and found that there were two other women of different ages, but these two women looked like they had tear stains on their faces, their eyes were a little dull, and they were not clothed.
At this point, Li Beiyou already knew what the situation was, and at this moment, there was a girl's cry outside the cave, which sounded young.
At this time, Li Beiyou's hands and feet were tied, so naturally he couldn't go out of the cave to see, but soon a man who was not in the cave before carried a girl to the cave.
