Chapter 41 is amazing

"There should be both."

Lin Yan's answer made Su Fu interested, and he thought that except for the remote Linhai County, other places were quite peaceful.

I didn't expect there to be mountain bandits.

"It is said that the people of the Tianyun Mountains are fierce and there are many bandits, but I don't know the actual situation. I asked Uncle Yang yesterday and said that there are occasional bandits, but they generally only intercept lone pedestrians. ”

In other words, it is not a climate, no matter how curious Suf is, she doesn't want to meet bandits, she is a child, and it is difficult to save her life in the melee.

As he was talking, there was a word outside that he was ready to rest in the front post house, and after eating, he didn't stop and continued on the road.

Su Fu guessed that it was somewhat risky to come to the mountains, and they took these old and weak women and children of the Lin family with them, so they changed to walking during the day and resting at night.

Second, the temperature in the Tianyun Mountains is relatively cool, and the woods on both sides of the post road are dense, which is not very hot, but it may encounter fierce beasts at night, which is even more unsafe.

The scale of the post house here is not small, it is said that it is also the last place on the border of Mingzhou, I heard that the former prefect's wife and son are also there, and the post man also came specially to buy a table of wine and food for them.

Wu hurriedly took the opportunity to inquire about the news, and the Yi Cheng said with a smile: "Lord Lin just passed here four days ago, and I heard that the lady and the sons are still behind, so the villain prepared wine and vegetables. ”

Although it is a post house in a remote place, the dishes are also rich, all of which are some wild game in the mountains, pheasant and cub soup, wild boar, fresh bamboo sun, ......

It's just that most of them are greasy, and a few people have already been tired after a long journey, and they have no appetite at all when they see these early in the morning.

After eating some food, we will continue to set off after taking a short rest.

Yang Tingfeng came over and told them that his fourth uncle had inquired just now, and due to the impact of the riots in Linhai County, there were more bandits in the mountains this year than in previous years, and they came out to rob from time to time.

It is said that several caravans have been attacked one after another, and they intend to accompany another caravan passing by in order to gain momentum.

When Wu heard that there were bandits, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, "How is this good, my lord, there are few of them, and I don't know what is going on?" ”

To say that the Wu family is still single-minded towards Lin Jianshen, he is obviously afraid of death, but the first thing that comes to mind is her husband.

"Lord Lin, they happened to meet a team of military masters who delivered letters, they were many and had weapons, presumably the thieves didn't have the courage to attack them."

Yi Cheng hurriedly explained, Wu was a little relieved when he heard it, and thought that his group of people were also at risk, so he was even more worried and wanted to cry.

Lin Yu's grandmother Wang is also a timid person, and her face changed when she hugged the child tightly, probably because her hands were too heavy, which scared the child into crying.

The two big girls are embroidered, and Caichun is the same as the six gods and no master, looking at the master at a loss.

Su Fu looked amazed beside him, what kind of master there is, what kind of minions, this nest of cowardly and incompetent, no one can make up their minds when they encounter things.

Lin Yan watched coldly, he and the Wu family have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, and they are also a face-saving relationship with each other.

Still the little fat man couldn't look past it, and hurriedly comforted, "Mrs. Lin, don't worry, I've inquired, the attacks are all small caravans, there are many of us, I think they are not so bold." ”

"That's it, the thieves definitely don't dare to come, there are so many guards of the Yang family, and they are not afraid to come."

Mama Wang hurriedly helped, but when Wu heard it, she was so frightened that she prayed, "Amitabha, the Bodhisattva blesses us with peace and security, so that thieves must not come." ”

Su Fu almost laughed when she heard this, so she quickly held back and pretended to go out to pour tea.

Oh, with the Wu family's combat power, no wonder he was rubbed under the soles of his feet by Aunt Liu, who went to Beijing this time, I'm afraid the hard days are still to come.

I went out to take a look, and sure enough, there was another caravan behind me, smaller in size than them, but there were also forty or fifty people, and the men and guards looked tall and powerful.

The principals on both sides are obviously acquaintances, and standing together and chatting hotly, it is no wonder that they will rest assured to walk together.

After resting for half an hour, the caravan set off again. This time, there were more than a hundred on both sides, and the mountain road was narrow, and the elder was pulled mightily.

Lin Yan is a good and diligent boy, and he reads the book very seriously, and Su Fu is idle and bored, so he also takes the book and reads it together.

It was okay at first, but as the carriage became more and more bumpy, Su Fu was so dizzy that she couldn't stand it anymore, and she couldn't help but be taken aback when she lifted the curtain and looked at it.

However, I saw that the peaks on both sides rushed straight into the sky, and a winding road was sandwiched between the two peaks, which looked very steep and difficult to walk.

The peak that obscured the sky and the sun blocked the scorching sun from the mountain, and under the shade of countless towering ancient trees, it looked gloomy.

No wonder it is said that this place is dangerous, it is all a narrow terrain that is difficult to open for a man, and the forest is deep and dense, not to mention that there are dozens or hundreds of thieves hidden, even if there are tens of thousands of troops in ambush, it may not be obvious.

The men of the two caravans were also very nervous, and no one was noisy at this time, except for the sound of chariots and horses, only the chirping cicadas in the mountains and forests remained, which made people impetuous.

After a day of trekking for a day, I finally arrived safely at sunset at the inn in the mountains, which was opened for merchants who crossed the mountains.

The people who come and go are all old faces, and they all trust each other.

"I'll rest here tonight, and I'll be out of the mountain tomorrow after another day's walk."

The steward Yang Ren personally came to inform him, and he was very thoughtful and polite to everyone in the Lin family along the way.

Because someone had been notified in advance, a few tables of wine and food had been prepared in the inn, and the rest of the ordinary guys and guards had too much food, and there was no food for a while.

Su Fu followed Lin Yan up to the private room on the second floor, and looked out of the window, but saw that there was a commotion in the courtyard, all busy driving goods and carriages in.

Zhang Xing didn't care about eating, and was busy going to the store to find out the news, and Wu and the others just ate casually, sitting there and waiting with a sad face.

After a while, Zhang Xing returned, but the news he brought was not optimistic.

It turns out that the number of bandits in the mountains this year has indeed increased compared to previous years, and everyone says that it is the remnants of the rebels who have wandered over from Linhai County.

In the beginning, there were more than a dozen bandits, each of whom was in charge of his own business, and each of them was not large.

But recently, I heard that there was a powerful person among those bandits, called Huang Chao. actually annexed other small groups of mountain bandits and established Tianyun Village.

It is rumored that there are now more than 200 people under his command, and he has been making frequent moves recently, robbing several medium-sized caravans in succession.

That is, the events of the past ten days, and I don't know why the news has not spread, and there is no news in Mingzhou City.

Su Fu was very suspicious, if Lin Jianshen was worried about affecting his future, so he deliberately concealed it.

He's going to leave anyway, and leave the mess to the next one for a headache.

When he turned around, he saw a sneer on the corner of Lin Yan's mouth, and he immediately understood that he had thought of it too.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, everyone said that I knew my son Mo Ruo's father, but when I came to Lin Yan, I turned it upside down, and I knew my father Mo Ruozi.

It's ironic.

The situation is so grim that I'm afraid both caravans will have a sleepless night tonight.

Su Fu's heart is also heavy, this world is ...... It's going to be messy......
