Chapter Forty-Eight: The Quiet Girl

The canal steward's voice was rough, and he said with a full temperament: "Don't worry, cousin, cross the hill in front of you, and you can see the city gate after walking for a while, you should go to the Yizhou border before dark, there is an FXCM Inn over there, let's rest there for a night, and we can go to the house tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Erzhen smiled and responded, and saw that there was no interest in appreciating the desolate scene of no shop in front of the village and no store in the back, and shrunk into the canopy again, and the nurse persuaded her to go back to the carriage over there, Zhang Erzhen puffed out her cheeks and refused: "Nurse, I still have to play leaf cards with them, don't you pick me." ”

Mingyue said with a bitter face: "Girl, you always win, but I haven't won once." ”

Zhang Erzhen raised her eyebrows, her little face flushed with great interest: "It's because you haven't won that I give you many opportunities, and when we continue to fight for three hundred rounds, we will definitely let you win once." Ruyue sneered, her beautiful eyes narrowed into a slit and said: "The girl lets you every time, but you can't win every time, you have a good hand of cards in your hand but don't come out, and it's useless to stay until the end, Mingyue, playing cards is not for us to save monthly silver, the more you save, the better." ”

Mingyue blushed when she landed, her little hand twisted the handkerchief and rubbed it around embarrassedly, Zhang Erzhen had already laughed out loud, and said: "It turns out that our Mingyue is still a little rich woman, and she is so good at running a family at a young age, and she will be great in the future." ”

Mingyue held the handkerchief and said, "The girl laughs at me, where do I have any silver, don't listen to Mingyue's nonsense." ”

Zhang Erzhen smiled and stopped making fun of Mingyue, and continued Zhang Luo: "Let's have some fun now, if any of you can win me, I will give you a good treasure, and it will be difficult to chase after you." Several people burst into laughter and began to play cards again.

When the carriage shook violently, the horses neighed, and Zhang Erzhen heard a noisy shout not far away, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to see, and two groups of people and horses had rushed out of the front and rear of the convoy, they were all wearing gray short cloth clothes, carrying large knives, wearing black cloth masks, in broad daylight - the robbery was coming!

The canal steward was obviously prepared, drew the big knife at his waist and shouted, "Protect the girl's carriage!" The large ring on the scabbard crackled on the iron big knife, and the servants of the Jin Mansion quickly divided into two sides and rushed up. There was a crackling fight, the bandits did not fall behind, although the Jin Mansion was prepared, but the two fists were difficult to defeat the four hands, especially the two groups of bandits who were menacing and well-prepared, and soon they were in a weak position and gradually defeated.

Zhang Erzhen had already put down the curtain and sat down, the bright moon was next to Zhang Erzhen, she was trembling with fright, the nurse quietly opened the curtain to take a look, and was so frightened that she put down the curtain and chanted "Amitabha Buddha Amitabha"

Zhang Erzhen only heard the sound of hand-to-hand combat outside gradually disappearing and knew that it was not good, regardless of the nurse's objection and opened the curtain to see, most of the servants of the Jin Mansion had been killed and injured, and the canal steward took a few people to protect Jin Zhiniang's carriage, her dilapidated carriage was not eye-catching, the coachman was nowhere to be seen, more than a dozen bandits surrounded Jin Zhiniang's carriage, and some rushed to the carriage loaded with goods, and the high raised dark wooden box was also eye-catching. The bandits came prepared, their strength was strong, and several people quickly captured the canal manager, put the knife on the neck and said viciously: "Be honest with Lao Tzu! If you move again, I will kill you! If you have any valuable money, quickly hand it over to Lao Tzu and spare your life!"

The canal manager replied in a dumb voice: "The car is the family of Yizhou Yuanwailang, you dare to be presumptuous! Is this a death! Now we can still leave you alive!"

The bandit leader was wearing a black scarf, with a square scarf tied on his head, and two big hammers in his hands, and laughed when he heard this: "Grandpas are the masters who lick blood from the knife edge to live their lives, not to mention outsiders, even if they are big officials, we will not make mistakes...... Brothers, search for a carriage for me!"

The canal manager struggled hard and was kicked hard by the bandit leader, and a small minion tore off the carriage curtain, and inside was the master and servant of Jin Zhiniang who were hugging in a pile. Zhang Erzhen watched Jin Zhiniang tremble and walk down, holding her perilla and even falling to the ground with a bang, the bandits who watched laughed, exchanged heads and ears, the bandit leader looked at Jin Zhiniang's delicate and beautiful face salivated and said: "This group of guys in the government who eat idle food, the women in the family are all beautiful and delicate like fairies, look at this little face and tender can pinch out the water, it is your blessing to fall into the hands of the brothers today, and there will be brothers who will love you in the future! haha......"* Jin Zhiniang, who was ashamed of her naked words, trembled all over, and her big watery eyes made the bandit leader even more pitiful, and her eyes were about to fall, and she told her brothers to quickly pack up their things and people, and pull them all to the village.

The bandits scattered in all directions, checking one car after another, Zhang Erzhen hurriedly lowered the curtains, and his chest was still panting. The nurse was about to open the curtain of the car in front of her and go down, but Zhang Erzhen held her arm tightly and whispered: "Nurse, you will die if you go down, let's think of a way." ”

The nurse's voice choked and said, "Girl, the slave maid goes down to lure them away, you run quickly!" Zhang Erzhen shook her head with a cold face, just because of their short arms and short legs, they can't run for long at all, and it is estimated that they will be caught before they run! If you really want to run, you must run in a carriage. Zhang Erzhen looked at the pony carriage, frowning, what should I do! Suddenly I already had an idea in my heart, and I was a little embarrassed, if things couldn't go well, what should Jin Zhiniang do?!

There is not much time left for Zhang Erzhen, let's not talk about whether they can run away, but if they don't run, can they help Jin Zhiniang, obviously can't, she has to run out to move the rescuers! Zhang Erzhen took a handful of leftover pastries and pasted them on her face, lifted the curtain of the car and straddled the wheel in the surprised and sluggish eyes of the nurse and two months, grabbed the horse rope with both hands and threw it on the horse, the horses in Jinfu are all good horses, this big horse with oily and slippery coat rushed out like an arrow from the string when it was in pain, and ran hard around the carriages in front of her, Zhang Erzhen saw Jin Zhiniang looking at her eyes, helpless and pitiful, her heart was horizontal, and she continued to run forward, without any intention of stopping......

The bandit leader saw that the driver was a thinly dressed child with an unkempt face who couldn't see his face clearly, and dragged Jin Zhiniang over and asked viciously, "What is that?"

Jin Zhiniang lowered her head and whispered: "It's my newly bought girl, waiting for freshening." A pair of jade hands clutched Shiso's arm tightly, and tears fell down her eyes......
