Chapter 54: Robbers on the Road

A large table of dishes was quickly eaten by the hungry two people with their chests against their backs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Duanyue touched her round belly with satisfaction, and leaned back on the chair. She glanced sideways at Yan Xinghui, who was sitting upright, and he put the last piece of meat in his mouth and chewed it carefully, his throat rolling up and down beautifully.

"Let's hit the road when we're done." Yan Xing turned his head to look at Duanyue and smiled gently.

After settling the bill, the two walked to the door of the store, only to see a dilapidated carriage parked in front of them. An old man with white hair and white hair jumped out of the car, he squinted his eyes, looked at Duanyue and Yan Xinghui with a kind face, and said slowly. "Lao Yu just inadvertently heard Miss Gongzi say that she wants to go to Chenzhou, if you don't dislike it, you can take my little broken car, Lao Yu is just on the way."

Yan Xinghui looked back at the mysterious old man who suddenly appeared, and frowned slightly. Before he could politely refuse, Duanyue had already nodded happily and agreed. "Thank you so much, old man!"

Duanyue lifted the hem of her skirt and was about to get into the carriage, but Yan Xinghui immediately grabbed her wrist and stopped her. Yan Xinghui shook his head at Duan Yue and whispered. "Don't rush up yet, I think there's something wrong with this old man!"

"Are you mistaken?" Duanyue's tone revealed a strong sense of distrust. She turned her head to look at the old man standing by the carriage, his face covered with years, his dark face and rough fingers, how could there be a problem with an honest farmer? Duanyue stared at Yan Xinghui angrily. I don't think the old man has a problem, it's you who has a problem!

Yan Xinghui couldn't tell what was wrong with the old man, but the sudden appearance of a person out of thin air would inevitably make people suspicious. He narrowed his eyes, and it was hard to imagine whether the old man was good or bad.

Seeing that he was so hesitant, Duanyue walked to his side just right and persuaded him with good words. "You're too cautious, this old man is just an ordinary well-wisher. Besides, if you go from here to Chenzhou, you don't know when you will go, and if you have this convenience, you will be able to do it. She tugged at her sleeve and muttered to herself.

Raising her head, she looked at Yan Xinghui, and seeing that he still didn't believe it, Duanyue gently pinched his sleeve and shook it. "Don't think about it, let's go quickly!"

Yan Xinghui finally looked at the old man, but he still couldn't find the slightest clue, so he had to secretly wonder if he was thinking too much. In the end, Yan Xinghui still compromised, he sighed and bowed to the old man, and thanked him very humbly.

"Thank you for the kindness of the old man, and the two of us will not refuse." With that, he took out a fingernail-sized piece of silver from his bosom and handed it to the old man. "A small meaning is not a tribute."

But the old man smiled and pushed Yan Xinghui's hand back. "It's just a gesture! Seeing that the two of them were still young, I was reminded of my grandchildren who lived elsewhere. After that, the old man stroked his white beard and laughed, his trembling beard moving.

Yan Xinghui helped Duanyue into the carriage, jumped up easily, and sat beside Duanyue. The old man sat in front, he picked up the horse whip he put down, and with a "snap", the horse whip cut through the air and there was a sharp sound that fell on the horse's buttocks, and the two wheels on the carriage squeaked and turned, and the left and right bumps were almost so that Duanyue spit out the food he had just eaten.

She covered her mouth with a vegetable-like face, and sat there without moving, for fear that she could not bear the churning in her stomach. Yan Xinghui saw that her condition was getting worse and worse, and he was anxious, and immediately shouted at the old man.

"Old man! Stop the carriage for a while, she's uncomfortable! ”

The old man turned a deaf ear, still waving the whip in his hand, without even turning his head. Only then did Yan Xinghui really realize that there was really something wrong with this old man who suddenly appeared.

"I can't!" Duanyue's face was distorted and she shouted, and when she turned her face, she vomited her stomach empty with a "wow".

When the old man heard Duanyue's voice, he turned around with a dark face and scolded Duanyue fiercely. "Don't get my car dirty, you little girl!" This fierce tone is similar to that of the kind old man just now. Duanyue was frightened like this and woke up.

She wiped her mouth with her sleeve informally, and looked back at Yan Xing.

"Who are you?" Duanyue frowned and asked the old man's back.

With his back to the two of them, he let out a sinister evil smile, which made Duanyue feel a chill behind him. Yan Xinghui saw that the situation was not good, and immediately blocked in front of Duanyue, for fear that something would happen.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and the huge inertia made the two of them fall on the wooden cart with a "clang", Duanyue's forehead hit the board, and soon a big bag bulged. She rubbed her head in pain, and was about to sit up and scold, but she was stupid when she raised her eyes.

Before he knew it, the carriage had driven into the wilderness, and the old man jumped nimbly out of the carriage, and stood in front of them with a smile on his hand. There was a rustling sound in the surrounding wild grass, and about five or six fierce men walked out of it, each holding a bright and shining knife in his hand, and looked at the two of them with eyes like hungry wolves seeing a little white rabbit.

Duanyue swallowed her saliva, and although she was scared to death, she still questioned the old man loudly. "Who the hell are you?"

"Isn't that obvious?" The old man's eyes were half-squinted, revealing a dangerous aura. He pulled out a short knife from his sleeve and walked towards the two of them step by step. "Acquaintance point hand over the money to ensure that you don't die."

Oh my God, it's a real robbery! Duanyue's eyes were dark, and she was about to faint, but fortunately, Yan Xinghui shook her in time. He looked at the old man with a calm face, and decided that he was the one who was the leader.

"We don't have money, who will be your car if we have money!"

"Who are you deceiving the mother! When Lao Tzu didn't see your pile of silver? The old man's eyes immediately widened and he glared at the two of them angrily. Yan Xinghui's heart tightened, and after thinking about it, he understood that it was Duanyue who showed his wealth in the restaurant, so he was targeted by this gang of bandits.

The matter has come to this, Yan Xinghui has no other way. His face turned pale and he put his hand into the pocket where the silver was kept. Seeing this, Duanyue hurriedly held down his hand and stopped him in a hurry.

"Yan Xinghui! But don't give them money! They are bandits, and they don't believe what they say! ”

These words reached the old man's ears, and he "tsked". "What did you little Nizi say! Although we are bandits, we still know how to believe in our words! ”

Duanyue took a sip of saliva at him and continued to hold down Yan Xinghui's hand.

Yan Xinghui shook his head at Duan Yue and persuaded softly. "We can't beat their group, wouldn't it be best if we could spend money to eliminate the disaster? Moreover, it doesn't matter if I'm dead, but you are the lord of Shi'an, and your life is worth more than me. With that, he rubbed her head gently. Obedient, money is something outside the body. ”

"Okay." Duanyue let go of her hand weakly, and she asked the old man without kindness. "Give you money and really let us go?"

"Of course," the old man nodded, clenching his fists to his chest. "After all, killing people is to pay for their lives, and if you just grab money, you will just go to jail for several years."

Yan Xinghui sighed helplessly, and threw all the silver in his hand to the old man, and sure enough, the fierce and vicious men around him put down the scaring knife in his hand and made way for the two.

"I heard that you are going to Chenzhou, just follow this road." The old man held the heavy silver in his hand, and laughed with great joy. As soon as he was in a good mood, he pointed out the way for the two of them.
