When the morning sun was rising, a team of more than 600 people came out of Liwu County and slowly headed north.

This is a caravan, now the world is restless, there are thieves everywhere, some even thieves in times of disaster, weekdays for the people, in this environment, in order to ensure the safety of the road, most of them are holding bright weapons, of course, if you encounter a large group of people, it is not very useful.

The goods carried on the back of mules and horses are all high-quality silk, these gorgeous things are deeply loved by foreign races outside the border, and the caravan will transport it to the border in exchange for local horses, mink skins and other things to come back and sell again, a trip back and forth is more than three or four times the profit, if not, no one will not hesitate to run the business.

The owner of this caravan is surnamed Su, a native of Nanyang, nearly half a hundred years old, and has been running a merchant for 30 years, at this time, he was talking to a young scribe who was accompanying him halfway: "We originally came from Hanoi, if it weren't for the rampant thieves in Montenegro, take the line of Julu, Ping'an, and Zhongshan, and arrive in Zhuo County early. ”

The young scribe had only ten years of age, and his face was delicate, but at this time his eyebrows were tightly locked, and his face was gloomy, and he rode closely beside an ox cart, and behind him, he was followed by four or five retinues of the tribesmen, who had met the caravan in Liwu and walked with it.

There was a compartment in the bullock cart next to it, and there was a woman's coughing sound in it, and every time she heard it, the young man had to pay attention, and the woman who was coughing was the boy's mother, and his wife was also included.

Hearing the words of the merchant surnamed Su, the young scribe said casually: "Huh? Oh! Thank you so much! ”

The young man clearly didn't hear what he was talking about, and the businessman surnamed Su was slightly embarrassed, but although he was young, after all, he was a scholar, and there were businessmen who didn't look down on him, and his mother was seriously ill, and it was impossible to go to Anping to seek medical treatment on this trip, and it was common for him to have no intention of taking care of himself.

The businessman was very understanding and relieved the young man, thinking that it was his honor to know such a person, and he plucked up his strength and said to the young man: "I have been in business for many years, and I also know that there are many famous doctors in the world, and my filial piety is commendable. ”

These words finally attracted the attention of the young man, he smiled gratefully at the merchant, and then turned back to Niu Dao: "Uncle Su's words, can my mother hear it?" This disease can be cured after all, and my mother must not worry about it! ”

There were two more coughs in the carriage, and someone next to her was busy stroking her chest, and when she calmed down, the old woman said weakly: "Don't worry about it, and don't worry about my son!" ”

After a while, the old woman said slowly: "You became a relative last year, even if you die today, I have nothing else to worry about, my daughter-in-law is a virtuous lady, but this disease has dragged her down!" ”

Another female voice in the ox cart whispered: "This is the duty of the children, why did the mother say this?" ”

The young man also said: "Although the son marries a wife, he has no children yet, the mother is kind, and the recovery is always there, so that the children and grandchildren can be filial piety and enjoy their families!" ”

Hearing this, the old woman in the car couldn't help but chuckle, but it caused her to cough incessantly, and the young man hurriedly said: "It's the son's fault, don't mess with the mother!" ”

When the coughing in the carriage finally stopped, the old woman said in a weak voice: "I have often dreamed of your father recently, and I don't have much time to come, but I am afraid that I can't wait to see you give birth to a child, life and death are fate, let's stop tossing around, and I will raise you with peace of mind!" ”

The boy opened his mouth to say something, but his throat was like a stalk, and tears were already flowing from his eyes.

In the past two years, I have visited the surrounding famous doctors and witches, but they have not been able to cure my mother's illness, and I heard that Anping has a good doctor, and I can't cure it after looking for it.

The businessman surnamed Su also sighed, his son wanted to raise but did not wait, and he was powerless to return to heaven, and he also knew the heart-wrenching pain.

As he spoke, the team went all the way north, and saw that there were another hundred and ten miles to enter Zhuo County, and suddenly there was a faint sound of people and horses shouting in the southwest distance, and the merchant surnamed Su was taken aback, and hurriedly asked the spies to go and check.

After a while, the spies reported that there were two teams of men and horses fighting on that side, looking at their shape, one side seemed to be officers and soldiers, and the other side should be black mountain thieves.

"Why are there Black Mountain thieves here?"

The merchant surnamed Su was taken aback, although the Black Mountain thieves were rampant, they had always only been active on the edge of Taihang, how could they come to this Zhongshan country? It seems that even this trade route is not stable, if you can finish this trip, you should rest for a few years.

After a while, the sound of fighting was faintly moving towards this place, everyone in the caravan was in a hurry, mules and horses were carrying goods, the speed was not fast, but there was no escape, if they were involved in the battle, the outcome could be imagined.

The young man was also anxious, he did not feel sorry for the merchant's goods, but the ox cart in which his mother and wife rode was slower, and the mother's body on the ox cart could not withstand the bumps.

A retinue behind the young man stood firmly on horseback, looked around, only six or seven miles northwest of the land there was a large forest, and hurriedly pointed it out to the young man, the young man rushed to the merchant surnamed Su, and said loudly: "There is a forest six or seven miles away in the northwest, hide over there!" ”

Hearing that there was a shelter, the merchant surnamed Su hurriedly commanded the team to rush over, and the young scribe's mother was frightened by the bump, and coughed even more urgently, and even coughed up blood for a while, which caused the young couple to worry.

Fortunately, the two armies fought all the way, moving slowly, and when the caravan was all hidden in the forest, they saw both sides of the battle in sight after half an hour.

At this time, some people put rings on mules and horses and other animals to prevent sound.

When the two sides of the fight were closer, the young man could vaguely see from the cracks in the forest that what the spies said was true, and the situation on the battlefield was really unfavorable to the officers and soldiers in front, but the non-officers and soldiers were heavily armored cavalry, and the thieves were also pursuing with heavy armored cavalry, but there were several flags, and they were not clear for a while.

The two sides strangled forward, although the officers and soldiers were embarrassed, when they were entangled, they could always organize people and horses to turn back and fight, and then continue to move forward after killing the thieves.

"The thieves look like they are gone!"

Every time he entangled the officers and soldiers, no one was willing to fight him, and the young man couldn't help muttering.

If the black mountain thieves are so fierce, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven in Yang City will not have peace from now on, it should also be selected among the thieves, especially one of them with a halberd, which is very eye-catching, and every time he touches the enemy, he will always hook more than ten officers and soldiers to fall off the horse.

The knights who fell all the way were difficult to get up again, even if they did not die, and most of them were trampled into flesh by the thieves, making the faces of the caravans pale when they saw such blood for the first time.

The two armies fought all the way to the northeast, and actually passed through the dense forest where the caravan was hiding, and the merchant surnamed Su was already frightened, if the thieves found the caravan in the forest, not to mention that the goods could not be saved, it was difficult to say whether they could save their own lives.

Outside the dense forest, the flags of more than 1,000 heavy armored cavalry teams in front of them were blown away by the wind, revealing the words on them, which were carefully identified, but they were the word "giant deer".

The young man couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly wondered: "I heard that the giant deer heavy armored cavalry is the elite left by Huangfu Song, the guardian of the country, and the thieves are very afraid of it, why did they come to Zhongshan Kingdom?" ”

Fortunately, both sides only cared about the enemy, and the way passed, and everyone in the dense forest relaxed a little, but they didn't dare to go out.

Half an hour later, in the distance, a team of more than 20 carriages with heavy armor and cavalry slowly approached, looking like thieves, so frightened that the people in the forest were busy and silent, and Xiao Wing observed.

The cavalry, armed with swords and shields, walked very slowly, and whenever they saw someone on the ground, they had to go forward to investigate, and those who were not dead were carried into the carriage, and then stopped their march and let the healer give emergency treatment, but they were actually saving the wounded.

The thief doctor is very good at medical skills, the lightly injured have already found their own ownerless horses and left, most of the wounded on the ground are not lightly injured, the young man silently counted, and saw more than ten injured people carried on the carriage, but only two of them were ineffective in treatment, and they were thrown down.

Not far from the forest, the young man could see more clearly, just as an officer and soldier who was still coughing up blood in his mouth were also carried into the carriage, and after removing his armor and robes, the healer examined it carefully for a while, took a silver needle and pricked it a few times in his chest and abdomen, and then pressed it lightly on his chest and abdomen, thinking that he was moving the misplaced ribs back.

The wounded soldier couldn't stop crying out in pain, but at this time, the hemoptysis in his mouth had actually stopped.

After dealing with the wounded, the healer gave an order, and the team moved slowly forward again, and in a short time, it had already crossed the dense forest.

The young man only felt that the "thump" in his chest was beating hard, like the straw that the drowning man saw lastly, he thought about it for a long time, gritted his teeth, "Drive!" With a shout, the horse rushed out of the dense forest.

The merchant surnamed Su didn't hold back, and when he saw that the young scribe had rushed out, his face suddenly turned pale.

(Miserable, power outage today!) ）
