Chapter I
The sky is dim, and a large condensed white cloud like a mountain rarely floats in the slightly lower sky, as if the legendary fairy mountain occasionally appears mortal, waiting for the mortal who is destined to fly to the realm and become an immortal. Little by little, the sun hid itself in the thick clouds, dyeing the pure blue white clouds with golden red colors, and it seemed that at this moment, the white clouds were going to be burned even in the sky, and then slowly returned to ashes, to the darkness with a little bit of shining.
In summer, the days are always very long, but it is a pity that until the sun goes down completely, the carriages on the official road still do not find the post station. The coachman looked up at the full moon that was showing its brilliance, sighed, and shook the whip hard, and the white horse dragging the carriage was very tired, but in the end it hurt a little faster.
There were four carriages in the line, and the one in front looked bigger and more elaborate, until the last one was the most rudimentary except for the caravan drawn by the ox cart at the back, and from time to time you could hear the intermittent cries of women from within.
Seeing that the sky was already dark, the speed of the carriage could no longer be fast, and everyone looked tired, and it seemed that they were going to spend the night in the suburbs.
Who knows, before the person in the carriage in front of him could speak, he heard a strange whistle from the forest on the side of the road, and the others were fine, but the dart master who escorted the carriage was white-skinned on the spot.
"Not good! It's a mountain coward! ”
The head of the driver listened to the urging of the master behind him, and he panicked and threw a whip and wanted to run first, who knew that the mountain bandits had already been ambushed, and those people jumped out of the forest or from the dirt pit one after another. Nothing else could be seen clearly in the moonlight, but the large knives in their hands shone brightly with a cold light.
"No one is allowed to run! Hand over your money or I'll kill you all!" ”
With a rough voice, black and tattered clothes, a strong man came out of the woods with a knife, and several people behind him carried torches, and his beard was particularly conspicuous.
"Bold Shankou, you dare to go wild on the official road!"
In the end, he also followed the dart master, how could he disarm and hand over his property lightly, and besides, most of them were female dependents in this line, if they were really searched for carriages, would they still be human beings in the future.
Taking people's money and people to eliminate disasters, the dart masters roared and pulled out their sharp blades and rushed forward, and in a moment the two sides were in a mess.
"Madam, why don't we run first?" Listening to the shouts outside, a grandmother in the youngest carriage whispered in horror.
"How's that going to work?" Dressed in a plain skirt, the woman who didn't know how long she had been crying wiped her eyes and said delicately: "The husband and the old lady are still ahead, how can we go?" ”
After the old lady finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong, but she was still worried: "Then at least bring the girls to our car." ”
The young and weak lady snorted, and a hint of longing flashed in her eyes, but then she shook her head and said, "The sisters' car is behind the old lady's car, and it will be fine." ”
The old lady disagreed, she knew her own affairs, the eldest man in the family and Aunt Mei, who borrowed her son's light, hid in the old lady's car early in the morning, but her own wife was squeezed into the last car, as if the old lady Aunt Mei and the old man were a family, and the wives and girls became outsiders.
But if she wants to say it again, I'm afraid that my wife will be impatient, but the poor second girl is still having a high fever, but she has no mother to take care of her.
But after a moment's shock, the old lady heard someone screaming outside, and she shuddered and quickly opened the curtain, and saw a person running down from the old lady's carriage in front of her, getting into her own girl's carriage and carrying a child in her arms, and then returning to the old lady's carriage.
The old lady looked back at her wife, and felt a little cold in her heart, the one who rushed out to hold the child just now was Da Lang's biological mother, Aunt Mei, she didn't have to think about it to know that the child who was taken away by Aunt Mei was the youngest girl in the Meng family, Aunt Mei's youngest daughter.
Then in that car, only the eldest girl and the second girl from the wife were left.
"Mrs. ......"
"Ahhh Help me! ”
Before the old lady could continue, the shape of the outside changed too quickly, and I didn't know where to rush out of a group of mountain bandits, and the carriage with the two girls ran to the side of the road, and the coachman jumped out of the car when he saw that it was wrong, and the mother who followed the two girls in the car took a heavy object and threw it out of the car, but it still couldn't stop the footsteps of the mountain bandits.
The old lady tightened the curtains and said to the wife behind her in a trembling voice: "Oh no, our girl's carriage...... By...... Pulled away by the mountain coars! ”
The wife, who was in tears, stood up and looked out, and before she could say anything, she fainted with a snort.
The carriage of the two girls is not the best in the convoy, but it will not be too bad, there were three girls and two grandmothers and a girl sitting in it, who knew that just now Aunt Mei suddenly rushed up and took away the youngest child, and the girl of the three girls is the most useless, so this accident can only rely on the two grandmothers to fight hard.
In the carriage, the older girl was about ten years old, although she was wearing plain clothes, the pearls on that end made people can't help but look at her twice, this is her most proud face, but at this time she is full of hope that she is as ordinary as a rough girl, so as not to be taken away by the mountain robbers to rob her of money and ruin her reputation.
She sat in the corner with her arms folded, her eyes wandering back and forth in a panic.
It's also their luck, the grandmother next to the second girl knew a little kung fu when she was young, and she just found a gap to knock over the mountain coward who pulled the carriage, and then turned over and drove the carriage into the distance. However, the bad thing is that the horses pulling the carriage have run too far today, tired and weak, and the cart is loaded with a lot of soft gold and silver of the girls, and the weight is not small, so gradually, the mountain cowards behind are about to catch up.
"Big girl, let's throw something down so we can run faster." The mama who was driving the carriage shouted against the wind.
The eldest girl shrank in the carriage and looked left and right, originally there were the most things in the carriage, and they were all what she liked, if it wasn't for the carriage that couldn't fit when she left home, she still hoped to bring more, but now, she actually wanted her to throw things out......
There were a few bumps in the carriage, and the grandmother beside the eldest girl went to look for something unimportant to throw away, and the eldest girl looked at her sister who was lying on the soft bunk, her face was flushed, and she was turned to the door of the carriage a little bit.
The eldest girl's breath tightened, but her eyes were firmly glued to her sister's sweet face, and her palms gradually moistened.
"Sister, hurry up and bring my sister back, I'm going to fall!"
The eldest girl looked away and said coldly to the little girl beside the third girl.
The little girl was afraid that the girl would leave her, so she hurriedly crawled over with both hands and feet, and hugged the second girl who was already leaning against the door of the carriage......
Poof!
The carriage shook violently, and the mamma who was driving thought that the eldest girl had thrown something out, so she quickly took the opportunity to throw a whip, and the carriage rushed forward.
Before she could whip her second whip, she heard the old sister inside crying, "Oh no! My sister's dead hooves jumped out of the car with the second girl! ”
The mama who was driving looked confused, but it was too late for her to turn back at this time.
The mountain coke who followed up quickly surrounded the half-dead sister who fell, and then stabbed this little girl who was wronged to death, and then pulled up the second girl who was in a coma with high fever, and shouted loudly: "Don't resist, otherwise, let your girl become a severed finger today!" ”
The old lady's carriage was not far from this group of mountain bandits, and the people in the thrilling danger before also saw it, but in the end, there was no master who could speak.
Seeing that the group of dart masters was still fighting unabated, and the carriage that took the lead was also quiet, the mountain coward who was carrying the second girl spat on the ground, revealing a fierce face.
"Chop me! Chop up every finger for me! ”
A small child, a sharp knife with a chill, a group of bloodthirsty and cruel mountain bandits, even the dart master who has been walking on the tip of the knife for many years can't bear to look at it anymore.
If her fingers are chopped off, this girl will have no good future even if she grows up.
Buzzing slightly, no matter whether it was fighting or silent, no one expected that at the moment when the mountain robber raised the butcher knife and was about to chop off his finger, a sharp arrow with a feather tail instantly penetrated the mountain robber holding the knife, his neck was cold, and a blood hole completely made him say goodbye to this world.
Then, in the darkness, there seemed to be a pair of eyes that saw through it, and countless sharp arrows pierced through the air, penetrating the chest of the mountain coward with great precision, and after a while, the corpses of the mountain coward were all over the ground, but no one was accidentally injured.
The night breeze blows, and the silence is frightening.
The caring dart master took a second look, but found that the second girl who was taken away by the mountain bandits was no longer in place.
"No...... I don't know, which master helped? ”
There was no sound when she was attacked, and her daughter's carriage was extremely silent when she was taken away, and even when the second daughter was about to be chopped off, Lord Meng, who was still cowering in the old lady's carriage, finally lifted the curtain of the carriage.
In the dark woods, just as Lord Meng's words fell, an orange light suddenly lit up, the light illuminated the surroundings, and people could barely see that the light was actually a carriage, and a figure was projected on the window of the carriage, but no matter how you looked at it, that figure did not look like an adult.
"Meng Tongzhi ......"
Although the voice was suppressed, it was not difficult for everyone to hear that the other party was really a child, but he didn't know men and women.
Lord Meng's face changed, and he became more and more respectful: "It's the lower official." ”
"In three days, I will definitely send the second girl to the Ding'an Bo Mansion."
"Benefactor, this is ......"
Before Lord Meng could test again, the orange light suddenly went out, and then everyone waited for a long time and the other party did not speak, and it seemed that they had really gone away.
Lord Meng breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but also frowned, he was going back to Ding'anbo Mansion to mourn this time, who was the other party?
