Chen Wu, Chen Qi, and Qiu Nong also recognized Gong Qi, so they all looked at it quietly, slightly relieved in their hearts, and didn't say anything.

Only Mother Shen, who had never seen Gong Qi, was shocked at the moment, and muttered in her mouth: "What can I do about this, it is really a bandit who has come down the mountain...... I didn't expect bandits to be so rampant now, is it because the New Year has arrived? ”

Shen Anjia's voice was not low, the women and children around the carriage could hear it clearly, Chen Wu and Chen Qi had better eyesight than others because of their martial arts practice, and they clearly noticed that these women and children gasped when they heard this, as if they didn't expect that there would be bandits.

Didn't they flee here because the bandits attacked the village, and why were they so surprised and frightened when the "bandits" chased them?

Chen Wu and Chen Qi glanced at each other, this was not the place to talk, and they did not mention their doubts to Xu Qirong. Just looked at Gong Qi and the others from a distance, and didn't understand their intention to pretend to be bandits.

Then I saw Gong Qi suddenly slap his horse forward, and casually slapped a young woman with the back of a knife to stagger, and shouted: "Let Lao Tzu go!" ”

As soon as Gong Qi's move came out, everyone was frightened, and the children who were crying and crying all looked at Gong Qi in horror and didn't dare to make a sound.

Then someone took the lead and knelt down, kowtowing and crying: "Uncles, our village has been robbed, everyone has not eaten for many days, and the children are crying with hunger, please let me go!" ”

"The dog official refused to even let us into the city, how could he ransom us with food!"

"Uncles bargain with the government instead of arresting us. It's better to catch those two carriages, one of them is Miss Xu, and the other is the niece of Pei Zhizhou's dog official. It's much more useful to kidnap them than to capture us! ”

……

Xu Qirong and Xu Yuanshuang were dumbfounded when they heard it, and they were a little angry and sad in their hearts, which confirmed that sentence, poor people must have something to hate.

Xu Qirong sighed and continued to look at Gong Qi.

A man with a spear behind Gong Qi seemed to think that these women were too noisy. A little impatient, he waved the spear in his hand, and then saw a large stone under his feet turn to powder. The clash of spears and stones was especially noticeable on this cold night.

Everyone was shocked.

The man opened his mouth with a dirty word: "His milk. Milk, I am a bandit, do you want you stinky women to guide you? I saw that the brother on Lao Tzu's left didn't, but he grew up with the wolf. It is not taboo to eat human flesh raw and cold. I like to eat the two taels of meat on my mother-in-law's chest the most, and I said that if I am disobedient and delay Lao Tzu to go back to sit on the warm kang, Lao Tzu will let you see what it means to be a wolf cub! ”

The strong man on his left had a scar on his face, and with his words, he made a ferocious gesture of licking his nose with his tongue, which looked disgusting and murderous.

At this point, these women and children were really frightened. Don't dare to say anything more.

Gong Qi sneered, seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier. I was a little impatient in my heart, and my attitude towards these women and children was even worse: "Give Lao Tzu up the mountain, and give the little cub and the old immortal; Lao Tzu walks in front, and the others follow behind! ”

Then I heard the man from before ask, "Boss, what about these two carriages?" ”

Gong Qidao: "You are looking at the group of mothers-in-law in front, these two carriages Lao Tzu personally escorted, such a big fat sheep, you can't let them run away!" ”

The women and children were frightened by Gong Qi and the others, and Gong Qi told them to do whatever they wanted, and no one dared to make a move to resist. The Xu family and the Xu family were driving the carriage behind everyone, and they wondered in their hearts, they were obviously afraid of death, why could these women and children be able to "treat death as home" to the Shangguan Mansion and them?

Gong Qi approached Xu Qirong's carriage, and while the people in front of him were not paying attention, he whispered: "Miss Xu, you follow for a while, and when you see the opportunity, you will turn around and go back, the city gate official has already said that you will open the city gate as soon as you go back." When the time comes, remember to ask the city gate official for a token, there must be a curfew in the city at this time. ”

"Yes, thank you." Xu Qirong was a little strange and asked, "Where are you going to take them?" Where do they come from? ”

Gong Qi sighed: "I didn't expect them to be so difficult, only by using this method to 'kidnap' them up the mountain, so as to avoid the wind and snow, there is no way to get them food at this time, even the bandit village on the mountain is set up temporarily, I am afraid that everyone will be hungry." They are all the people of Da Chen, and I hope to ask them the real reason for this move earlier! ”

Xu Qirong pursed his lips: "The child is innocent, when I go back, see if there is a way, let Chen Wu and them send some food out!" ”

This year's harvest is not good, and grain prices have been rising, so Xu Qirong and Qi took advantage of the fact that the grain prices were not ridiculously expensive and hoarded some at home, and now they are just using it.

When Gong Qi heard her say this, he sighed a little, where did the whole person still have the fierce and evil spirit when he pretended to be a bandit before, and thanked: "Miss Fifteen is benevolent, repay grievances with virtue, Gong Qi thank you for them first." ”

Xu Qirong was a little surprised when he saw that Gong Qi was not joking when he said this, and then he heard Gong Qi say: "Before talking to Duke De, Gong Qi was also like those children, he was taken around by his mother to beg for a living, and he also had no food or clothing on a snowy day, hoping that there would be kind-hearted people who could have good deeds to help us." ”

Those women and children really believed that Gong Qi and the others were bandits in the mountains, even if their hands and feet were frozen, they didn't dare to stop, and walked up the mountain with difficulty in the wind and snow according to the meaning of "bandits". Everyone was so cold, their ears were full of bandits' shouting and shouting, where could they care about the two carriages that were surrounded by them before!

Xu Yuanshuang saw that the carriage of the Xu family followed, so he also instructed the Xu family not to act rashly and follow them. Qiu Nong smiled and said, "Miss Xu Si is a smart person. ”

Xu Qirong glanced at her: "You think you're just a smart person!" ”

Walked forward a little, the front is up the mountain, the mountain road is very rugged, the carriage is not convenient to go up, Gong Qi Zhuma turned to Xu Qirong and said: "This is it, I will go first, you wait a little, you can't see us and then turn back." ”

After a pause, he hesitated: "Or I will let the two brothers escort you?" This snowy night is not very peaceful, and it is not good if something happens. ”

Xu Qirong hurriedly refused: "With Chen Wu and Chen Qi here, don't worry too much, it was just a bunch of women and children who were not easy to do before." You also need manpower on your side, so don't worry about our side. ”

Then Gong Qi patted the horse and followed up the mountain, the carriage of the Xu family did not continue to follow, and the carriage of the Xu family did not continue to follow, and it was estimated that the women and children in front of them could not see the shadow of the carriage even if they turned back, so they turned the carriage and headed towards the way they came.
