[Thank you for your tips and support!] Niu Niu loves you guys! PS: Niu Niu has a bad cold...... My throat was so severe that I almost lost my voice, and I experienced the feeling of being speechless when I opened my mouth once, which was really uncomfortable...... Spring and summer handover, everyone must pay attention to keeping warm and taking care of the body.

Everything seemed to be stirred in a fog, Ruoan wrung her eyebrows, and did not speak for a while, Baogen saw that she was silent, thinking that she was blaming herself for not hearing more valuable things, so she lowered her head guiltily and said, "Madam...... It's all because I'm useless, not only did I not find Schisandra, but I didn't hear any useful information, and the lady who was the last to be harmed was in distress and injured......"

Ruoan came back to his senses and smiled: "I said it's none of your business, I am already very grateful that you can accompany me to the mountain to take risks, besides, what do you think this is?" ”

Ruoan said and opened the cloth bag that had been held tightly in his hand all the way, Baogen looked inside, his eyes lit up with just a glance, and he held the cloth bag excitedly and said, "Madam! Is this Schisandra? Where did you find it?! ”

Ruoan smiled: "It was the girl you called the 'ugly eight' who worked so hard to pick up so many ......"

"Ahh Then I blamed her, at first I thought she was in league with the bandits...... I knew that Lu Dao would have thanked her well...... "Baogen is a little regretful that he was so rude to her.

Ruoan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't mention this matter to outsiders, she doesn't want to be bothered......"

"Well, I understand, ma'am! Rest assured...... By the way, let's get out of here as soon as possible, and I'll be at ease when we get you back to the house safely......" Bao Gen said as he looked around with a nervous expression.

Joan said: "Then have you found your mother?" ”

Baogen shook his head: "Is there any ...... The prince needs to detoxify, or send you back first, and then I will turn back to find my mother and other villagers......"

"Then her safety ......"

"Madame, don't worry, my mother has lived at the foot of this thousand mountains all her life. I already know everything about this place, I believe that if they go up the mountain, it will be difficult for the mountain bandits to catch them, and besides, the villagers should all be together and take care of each other, madam, don't worry so much, let's go back to the palace first......" Baogen said, breaking a branch, plucking the leaves on it, and making a simple crutch for Ruo'an.

"Oh well. Let's go back first, and then send troops to help you find someone......"

"Hmm......" Baogen nodded, supported Ruo'an, and prepared to go out of the mountain.

Suddenly, an obscene voice came from behind him: "Yo, I can't think of it." Is this little lady still a princess? Brothers, we are blessed today! ”

Both Joan and Bogan were shocked. Don't wait for them to react. Countless mountain bandits stood up in the grass around them, presumably waiting here for a long time...... "I see where you are running today, go back with Lao Tzu obediently, otherwise don't blame the uncle, you're welcome!" The eldest brother who took the lead last night tore off the veil covering his face and said, "Damn, take this broken thing." It's really uncomfortable to die, no matter what he breaks the rules, brothers, give me this girl and bring this girl back to the master! ”

"Yes!" The man next to him said that he was about to step forward. Bao Gen opened his arms in front of Ruo'an: "Bold! You group of mountain bandits who don't know whether they are alive or dead, you know that the person in front of you is Princess Chenxian, and if you don't kneel down and commit the following crimes, aren't you afraid of punishing the nine clans?! ”

"Tsk, isn't this the kid who stole away yesterday, the dare is with this woman, tied up, or come to ransom, it's not bad to be a coolie...... the strong man who took the lead said.

A short man leaned over and whispered: "Big brother, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, the shopkeeper Tan explained, don't let us cause trouble, at first I thought that this woman was a rich and noble family, and it would work to ask for some ransom if she was tied up, but if this woman is really a princess, let's tie her up, then won't our trouble be big?" There are so many of us brothers, we can't do it against the government......"

"Look at your little bit of interest, what is the princess afraid of? Our backer is very hard, even if the sky falls, Lao Tzu will give you a top! What are you afraid of! Come! Tie them all back to me! The man who took the lead beckoned, and the others swarmed up, surrounding Joan and Baogen in the middle.

Bao Gen clenched the short sword in his hand and said, "I see which of you dares to step forward!" Today...... Today I fought with you! ”

"Hey, look at his trembling little appearance, are you going to fight with us? It's a laughing death! The crowd ...... heckled, and some even whistled.

Bao Gen was forced to blush, but Ruo An was looking at the surrounding environment, there was nowhere to attack, all of them were surrounded by people, Bao Gen alone could not beat so many people, Ruo An grabbed Bao Gen's cuffs and said, "Don't fight hard...... Acting on the opportunistic ......"

"Madame! What do we do next? Baogen tightly protected Ruo'an, and Ruo'an said in a low voice: "Let's take one step at a time, it's not the way to fight hard...... It seems that this group of people is not trying to harm our lives, but wants ransom, and we should not be in danger for the time being......"

"What are you doing in a daze! Arrest me! With the words of the leading man, a loud slap slapped on the head of a man beside him, and the crowd suddenly became agitated, and they rushed up and tied Ruoan and Baogen together.

"Take it away!"

"Yes! Eldest brother! ”

A group of people were about to leave, when suddenly a small man rushed over and said, "Boss! Oh no, let that Niko run away again! ”

"Ran again? What use do you want! You can lose it with a woman! ”

"The boss is angry, that Nizi is very ghostly, she will disappear when she gets into the grass, this is really not easy to catch, if only I could catch them all while the three of them are here......" The man said, secretly raising his eyes and glancing at the leader of the man, and there was a hint of complaint in his words.

The big man who took the lead stepped forward and picked up the man's shirt and said, "Are you questioning my command?" ”

"No...... The little one didn't dare to ......" The man bent his waist and looked groveling, and the short mountain bandit from before stood up again and said: "Big brother has a purpose in doing this, that ghost Nizi is a joke if he catches it, this is the real gold master!" In case you make the first move and disturb them, the duck will lose more than you will lose if it flies again, I said do you have a brain! ”

The man was held in the hands of the leading man and nodded: "Big brother, I don't dare, let me down......"

The leader sneered and threw him to the ground. Ruo'an looked at this group of people, it seemed that the short mountain bandit was similar to a military advisor, a person who gave advice, and the few people standing next to him should be cronies or thugs, judging from their clothes and accents, they were obviously not nationals of Wanqing Country.

"Where are you from?" Ruo'an asked such a sentence coldly, and the leader was stunned for a moment, and then said vigilantly: "What are you asking!" Take away, take away! ”

Joan continued to ask, "Who is the one who hired you?" How much did he give you? Is it as simple as hiring you all the way to go up the mountain and cut medicine? I am the princess, I can pay you double, a hundredfold, as long as you tell me who the main messenger behind the scenes is, and let us go down the mountain, I will send a lot of money to all the heroes! ”

"Big brother, what about this little lady and let's talk about the conditions?" When some mountain bandits heard that Ruo'an's conditions were so lucrative, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to the big man who took the lead.

The big man who took the lead also seemed to be a little hesitant, but after a while, he said, "Bring them all back!" With that, he turned around and left, and Joan and Baogen were hugged and walked to the bottom of the mountain.

After passing through the forest, Ruo'an saw clearly that the group had built a small camp in a sheltered clearing, with bonfires and tents, and Baogen shouted at a middle-aged woman who was burning the fire from afar: "Aunt Liu! Aunt Liu! I'm Baogen! ”

"What are you yelling about!" Before Baogen's words were finished, he was hit the head, and Ruoan tugged at his arm and said, "Don't be impulsive......"

Bao Gen nodded, no longer spoke, but stared intently at the middle-aged woman, who seemed to deliberately avoid Bao Gen's gaze, and after adding firewood, he entered a tent.

Ruoan lowered his voice and asked, "Is that person from your village?" ”

Baogen nodded: "It's Aunt Liu from our village......"

"Are you sure?"

"Hmmm! She watched me grow up, how could she not recognize me?! Bao Gen said with his eyes still staring at the tent, and his head was hit again: "Look at it! I don't have your share anymore! ”

Ruoan glanced at it and saw that there were many ingredients around the tent, and at a glance, he knew that it was a room. Through the gap in the tent, I saw two or three busy figures inside, not as strong as the mountain bandits, and at a glance I knew that they were villagers who had come here. Ruoan wanted to look more closely, but was pushed into another tent.

What appeared to be a warehouse-like place was filled with large and small boxes, with Joan tied to a log to hold the tent, while Baogen was tied with his legs and feet tied together, huddled in a corner.

After everyone went out, Bao Gen moved his body vigorously, wanting to go to Ruo'an's side, but unfortunately his legs and feet were tied, and his movement was very inconvenient.

Ruo'an's loud dissuasion had no effect at all, so he could only watch Baogen being beaten, and finally waited for the group of mountain bandits to come out, Baogen's face was already colorful, and he struggled to move.

Ruoan hurriedly persuaded: "Don't move first, save your strength first, you can only suffer in vain if you toss like this......"

Bao Gen stopped struggling, but there was a sound of singing and dancing outside the tent, and Bao Gen asked curiously, "Madam, what is this sound?" What's going on out there? ”

Ruoan listened to it for a while and smiled bitterly: "I guess I was drinking to celebrate......"

"Celebrate what? Did the celebration catch us? ”

Ruoan nodded helplessly, this angered the treasure root on the ground, he gasped heavily, and his heart was full of resentment. (To be continued......)
