Everyone got up early the next morning, Lin Changyuan and his wife were going to take Siqi to Fucheng, Zijun was also going to take office, they had to get up early and hurry, and Tiankuo and the others had to go to the school to study.

After returning to the house last night, Tiankuo tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night, and thought about what his goal was now.

He is reluctant to think about it, but he can't follow Siqi's side, now he still needs to temper himself, he must let himself have the ability, and he can really protect Siqi for a lifetime in the future.

Before dawn, everyone was ready, Zijun had a long way to go, and he would definitely not be able to get there by hiring a car from the county seat, otherwise the coachman would have to take a long time to return to the county seat, so he could only walk for a while, and then hire a car to continue to go forward, so that it would take at least ten days to get to the place.

The family packed up, said goodbye in the courtyard, and then got into the carriage and left, leaving only Tiankuo and the three of them still standing on the side of the road.

Zikang sighed, "I don't know when I will be able to see my eldest brother again, I hope he is fine outside, and I also hope that my father and mother will go smoothly in Fucheng, let's go, let's take our schoolbag and go to the school." ”

Tiankuo and Zilong nodded, and turned back to the courtyard one after another, several of them were in a very low mood, but they soon cheered up.

From the county seat to Fucheng, if you are in a hurry, you can enter Fucheng before the city gate is closed, but in that case, I don't know what the bumps will be like along the way, with his wife and daughter, Lin Changyuan is unwilling to do that, and he is reluctant to let them suffer.

There are many bandits in the direction of Hengling, Lin Changyuan used to take Siqi and a few of them to Fucheng when they encountered it, and since then, every time they return to Fucheng, they will deliberately avoid it, or they will go slower and live before Hengling, or they will go faster and live behind Hengling.

Today, Lin Changyuan was expected to go a little faster, leave Hengling and then find an inn to stay, but when they arrived in Yonghua Town, they encountered a farce, caught thieves on the street, and the cars behind couldn't pass, so they were delayed there for some time, and then went forward, and they happened to stay in the range where Hengling was located.

It's getting dark, and you have to find a place to stay, or you'll have to sleep in the open, which is even more dangerous.

Lin Changyuan was very worried, but he had no choice but to live in an inn with his wife and daughter, which was the largest in the town, so that the facilities could be more complete and relatively safer.

There are also a lot of people staying in this inn, Lin Changyuan and his family of three only had the last two rooms left when they went in, they originally wanted to book both rooms, and then they wanted to let Xuan's and Siqi live alone, he was not very relieved, so he only had one room, Xuan's took Siqi to sleep on the bed, and he spread the quilt on the ground alone, and it would be one night.

After entering the room, Lin Changyuan pinned the door with his hand, Xuan's looked around, this room was okay, it was very clean, and after putting the things down, he asked Siqi, "Are you hungry?" Let's let Xiao Er cook some food and send it to the house to eat, don't go down, be vigilant tonight, I've heard that this place is not very peaceful, let's go out less. ”

Siqi nodded, he was indeed very hungry, he was in a hurry at noon, he didn't eat anything, he had been bumpy on the road for a day, and now he couldn't hold it anymore.

Lin Changyuan went to instruct Xiao Er, got three dishes, one soup and rice, and sent them to the room, and the family of three sat together and ate a lot of money.

Although the taste is not as good as Xuan's, it is also decent, and it is also very good when you are hungry.

Waiting for Xiao Er to take away the dishes, Lin Changyuan pinned the door again, and used the stool to resist it, so that if someone came in, the stool would fall and he would be able to wake up.

It was already dark, and it was quiet outside, and there was no movement, which always made people feel very dangerous.

Siqi looked out of the window for a while, turned around and said, "Dad, it seems that this place is really fierce, there is no one on the street, everyone is afraid to come out, this is all caused by those bandits, right?" ”

Lin Changyuan nodded, "Who said no, the bandits in this place have always been quite rampant, and it is useless for the imperial court to suppress them a few times, or it will not be long before they will resurge, they rob houses and houses, rob money, but they don't hurt people's lives, and they don't do that rape and plunder, they just take money, grab food, and don't rob poor people." ”

"You say these thieves, it's really a headache, you say he's hateful, he seems to have a little conscience, but if he really has a conscience, why do such a thing? Hey, this is not something that we ordinary people can manage, so it is most important for us to take good care of ourselves. ”

Siqi said, "We met once before, did we hurt someone that time?" Didn't they say they didn't hurt people? ”

Lin Changyuan said, "That time is true, I heard that there are several cottages on this Hengling Mountain, and the thieves are also divided into several groups, which were indeed hurtful before, and then somehow, all of them were merged by one of the villages, and they had to listen to the words of the owner of the village, so they set the rules, they were not allowed to do those things, they could only grab money and food, it is estimated that because of this, the court is not very concerned now." ”

In such a big country, everywhere needs to be managed, if the bandits are rampant, of course the court will send troops to suppress them, and they can't let the bandits affect the lives of the people, but these bandits are very smart, just grab some money and food, and it doesn't hurt people, and they rob those who have money at home, or they are traitors and evildoers.

Speaking of which, it seems to be doing the right thing for heaven, but the people are still worried in their hearts, who knows when the bandits will attack them again?

However, for the imperial court, it is easy to ignore it, and those thieves probably think like this, and they can get money, and they will not let the court interfere, so the current situation has been formed.

Siqi was indignant, "No matter who robs, it's always robbing things, it's not right, those people are strong and strong, and in the mountains, isn't it good to reclaim some wasteland to grow food?" You have to rob someone else. ”

Lin Changyuan looked at her angrily, and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, those of them just want to get something for nothing, if they can really understand that they have enough food and clothing to do it themselves, how can there be bandits?" Let's just be careful about ourselves, there are too many such things in this world, we can't control it, your father and I can only protect my family, and the others don't dare to interfere. ”
