Chapter 174: Snatching the Child

On the side of the official road, two horses lowered their heads and leisurely gnawed on the grass on the roadside, and Lin Yue and Meng Hu sat in the shadow cast by the ridge, eating a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of wine.

"You said that if we have been gone for so many days, can they hold on and wait for us to go back?" Lin Yue ate a steamed bun and drank some wine, and his hunger disappeared immediately.

"Of course you can, my three ladies all know medical skills and know how to prolong their lives and delay the onset of toxicity." Meng Hu said with a proud expression.

"That's good." After Lin Yue finished speaking, he patted the soil on his body and got up.

"Let's go!" Lin Yue stepped on the horse, although her body bones were a little weak due to poisoning after she lost weight now, she would always be much lighter than before when she made any big moves.

"Good!" Meng Hu drank all the wine in his wine bag and burped.

The two of them rode through the twilight, and finally arrived at a post house when the moon hung over the treetops.

"Little Er, we want two rooms, next to each other, and then take good care of our horses and feed them with high-quality forage." Lin Yue said and took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to Xiao Er, who had a dark face and clean clothes.

"Gotcha! The two guest officers went to the front to get the keys and went upstairs. Xiao Er happily took the silver, and stepped forward to take the horse led by the two.

"Wait, you give me some more money." Meng Hu was a little embarrassed, although he was a big man, he never cared what carriages he robbed or what money he made, he left it to his ladies to take care of. So he can be said to have no penny on him.

"What do you want money for?" Lin Yue turned around, puzzled, what did he ask for money when he couldn't go to the village in front of him and couldn't go to the store in the back?

"It's all here, it's going down more and more remotely, don't you hurry up and get some delicious and delicious hospitality?" The oil on the corner of Meng Hu's mouth hasn't been wiped clean yet, but he is indeed hungry, how many steamed buns are full?

"No, it's delicious, it's all a meal, and we have a long way to go." Lin Yue covered the burden tightly.

"Why didn't you give it to me? I really thought it was your money, don't think I don't know about this money, it's all given to you by my wife, just let you keep it temporarily, I didn't expect you to be on your nose and face. Meng Hu raised his eyebrows, he had to ask for money today.

"Take it." Lin Yue gave him a blank look, and then took out a string of copper coins from his waist.

"Little Er, good wine and good meat are entertained to the master! Drop me off in my room. Meng Hu looked satisfied, and went to the room with a happy heart.

Lin Yue was angry, if it weren't for saving the prince's life, she wouldn't want to be angry with Meng Hu all the way.

Since there was no alarm clock in ancient times, the two of them were really a little sleepy after a day's journey, if it weren't for the louder and louder noise downstairs the next day, the two didn't know how long they would sleep.

"No, the prince didn't die, I'll die first, right?" Lin Yue woke up and rubbed her head with a splitting headache, wondering if it was a variety of poisons that had worked in her body.

He remembered what Meng Hu said, the full moon day of every month is the time of poison hair, and suddenly his scalp was numb, and a chill drilled from his backbone to the top of his brain.

I don't know how long it will take to go to Xiliang from here, Meng Hu doesn't look like a soft-hearted person, I guess he won't give her the antidote in advance!

Whatever, take one step at a time!

Lin Yue shook his head and gently patted his face twice to sober himself up.

"Girl, you should go back to the guest room first, don't come out at this time, there is a lot of chaos downstairs, there are too many people, we can't drive away, you rest first, I will send the food to your room in a while." As soon as Lin Yue pushed open the door and was about to go downstairs, the shopkeeper came to persuade him.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on downstairs?" Lin Yue retracted his steps, but he didn't retract his gossip heart.

"Hey, I can't tell you clearly for a while, when the people leave, I'll explain it to the girl!" The shopkeeper's figure is lean like a pole, and he has to put on a bright yellow gown over the blue cloth shirt, which looks a little funny.

Lin Yue opened her mouth and said that trouble came from her mouth, so she better not ask again.

"Hurry up and hand over the baby!"

"Yes, hand over the child."

"Hurry up and hand it over!"

As soon as Lin Yue took a step, the woman downstairs shouted. Lin Yue paused, and was shocked, could it be that this was staging an ancient version of child trafficking, no, it could be human trafficking, how could I bear it?!

"Don't cry here, if you don't teach this child, we're not done with you! The whole village is not finished with you! ”

Lin Yue pricked up her ears to listen, and in the midst of the shouting, she seemed to faintly hear a woman's cry.

Everything that happened was tugging at his heart, but when he thought about what she was going to do on this trip, he immediately calmed down again, walked to his room, and closed the door.

"Out of sight, out of mind, out of mind, leave after eating, whatever they are doing." Lin Yue closed the door and muttered.

She was just about to get some sleep in my bed, but there was another quarrel downstairs, to be precise, it seemed to be a direct fight.

"You let go of my child!"

"Ahh Messire! ”

With an exclamation, there was the sound of tables and benches being crackled.

"It's too much to deceive, it's too much to deceive!" Lin Yue sat up from the bed, it made sense to snatch people's children.

Lin Yue didn't expect that he couldn't sit still so quickly, so he pushed open the door and walked down.

At this time, Meng Hu had actually woken up a long time ago, the mountain had been spent for so many years, and his ears were already sensitive to the point that a strong gust of wind could wake him up, and downstairs began to make noise early in the morning, how could he still sleep? But he knew that he didn't want to get into trouble because of many things, and he didn't want to get into trouble, so he kept lying on the bed and listening to the movements downstairs.

It's just that when he saw a figure going downstairs through the window paper, Meng Hu didn't feel good, why was Lin Yue, a little girl, so breathless?

"Stop!"

Lin Yue walked to the staircase, covered her ears with her hands, and screamed with all her strength.

The crowd fell silent, and the beaten couple cast a plea of help at him, as if they saw some hope.

At the same time, Meng Hu also had to push the door and go downstairs.

"Who are you?"

"What do you have to do with these two people?"

Lin Yue thought that the fierce and bullying was an ugly-looking weirdo, or a rude and mean woman's face, but she didn't expect that the kind old man who was standing in front of her, holding a bench and lifting the table, was not an anomaly.

"I ...... I have nothing to do with them, it's just that the road is uneven, why are you robbing other people's children? Compared with the voice just now, Lin Yue is obviously a little lacking in confidence to speak now, after all, the people on the other side are probably dozens of times that of her.

"I advise you not to meddle in your affairs. This is a matter for our village, and our village elders will naturally deal with it. As they spoke, they snatched the tightly wrapped child from the woman's arms, completely ignoring Lin Yue, the nosy person they talked about.
