The couple downstairs cried breathlessly, not to mention the muddy water all over their bodies, and they couldn't see their original appearance on their heads and faces, and they could guess how dangerous it was just by looking at it.

"My son, poor son, how can I explain to you this time!"

The old wife of the rich merchant cried and complained sadly.

The shopkeeper of the inn, the young man, and the two guests couldn't help but look at the old couple sympathetically, but they just wanted to comfort them and didn't know how to speak.

"Uncle, aunt, this is not the time to cry, if it is too late, people can still save it."

Qian San had seen some of the world after all, and I saw him walk up and say to the old couple.

The old couple was stunned for a moment, looked at the sturdy man in front of them, and a glimmer of hope rose in their eyes, but then their faces were full of sadness.

"Yes! If you report to the official quickly, you may be able to save it. ”

Seeing that the old couple was still only crying, Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but step forward and say.

"No, no, even if it's a report to the official to save people, then ...... That person won't be able to do it! ”

As soon as Tong Shuangxi's words were finished, he saw the rich businessman patting his thigh and crying.

Hearing the words of the rich merchant, the people around couldn't help but change their faces, only to see a mother-in-law in the inn muttering: "But that's also a human life!" ”

Tong Shuangxi, who was still a little incomprehensible, listened to the words of this mother-in-law at this time, and couldn't help but suddenly realize, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

Is chastity really more important than life, is this what women themselves think, or is it a shackle imposed on them by the world?

The world is really cruel to women.

"If it can't be done, as long as people live, they will also be saved, and you can't watch people being tortured to death!"

Holding back the anger in his heart, Tong Shuangxi spoke again to persuade him.

Tong Shuangxi didn't dare to say a word if he was too radical, for fear that the couple would finally pick their son and leave, and the woman who was robbed would have no way to live.

Maybe she was moved, but the old woman who had not spoken hesitated to look at the rich merchant, and then said, "Master, Xiu'er ...... our family."

The old woman didn't say the next words, but saw that the rich merchant hesitated, stomped his feet, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let's go...... We're going to report it now! ”

Tong Shuangxi asked Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family to set up a carriage to send the old couple to the nearby county town to report to the official, and told the two of them not to rush back if it was late, and not to walk at night.

Although Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family were not worried about Tong Shuangxi and these people, it was also a matter of human life in front of them, and after explaining it, they drove the old couple to the county seat in a carriage.

After they left, Tong Shuangxi inquired about the nearby mountain bandits from the store, and then went upstairs with Qin Ergouzi.

Because of what happened, as soon as it got dark, the store closed the door, and even had dinner delivered to the room.

For a while, the inn was quiet.

For safety, Tong Shuangxi and Dafeng Erfeng Xiaoyin also squeezed a guest room with Mrs. Wang, and Yuan Laohan, Qin Laoneng, and Qin Ergouzi also took turns to guard the stairwell on the second floor every five hours, which could be regarded as more reassuring.

The night was peaceful, Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family didn't come back until breakfast, and the big guy couldn't help but worry about whether something would happen to the two of them on the road.

Fortunately, the two rushed back before lunch, and as soon as they arrived at the store, Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family were surrounded in the middle, and everyone wanted to know what was going on.

Qian San is not good at talking, so the third uncle of the Yuan family told the big guy everything that happened along the way.

"The road to the county seat is also stable, along the way only met a caravan and a few people in a hurry, to the county seat we first inquired about the location of the county government, and then went to the county office, the result of the county government people are not there, what to go to the dock to meet the capital from the messenger!

"Later, the old official who guarded the door persuaded us that it was so late, and the county lord would not come over today, so let's find a place to stay first, and come back the next day.

"We thought that human life was at stake, so we wanted to go to the county commander's house to find it, so that the official could go to save people earlier, but who wanted the county lord's house to guard the door and say that the county lord followed the official from the capital to go up the mountain.

"There was no way, so we found an inn to live in, and wanted to go to the county government the next day, but I didn't expect that the county order and the master did not come back, I was afraid that you would be worried, so we left some silver for our uncle and aunt and rushed back."

The third uncle of the Yuan family said it clearly, and the big guy couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.

According to this situation, I am afraid that this person will not be able to save it, not to mention whether the people of the county government are willing to save people, but to say that the woman is in such a jackal's den, I am afraid that she will not be able to return for long.

Sigh to sigh, what can they do, they can only sigh in their hearts that the woman's life is miserable.

Qian San and the third uncle of the Yuan family came back, and the big guy's heart settled down a little more, and when it came to the night, except for the female dependents, the big guy still took turns to be on duty like last night, and if there was any trouble, he could prepare early.

Mrs. Wang and Yuan Xu's family couldn't sleep, one of them touched a needle, sewed clothes while talking.

"He said that he was an official from the capital, and he didn't know what he was here for?"

Mrs. Wang muttered casually.

Qin Wu changed his mind and said, "Could it be that they are coming for the mountain bandits?" ”

The people in the room couldn't help but look at Qin Wu.

"Let Third Uncle Qian inquire tomorrow, if it is really sent by the capital to suppress the bandits, then it won't be long before we can get on the road smoothly."

Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but say happily.

Seeing that this mountain bandit is rampant, Tong Shuangxi and his party really dare not go on the road for the time being, after all, they have so many people and so many carriages, it is easy to recruit the mountain bandits.

"As long as everyone is safe, let's leave later!"

Yuan Xu couldn't help but sigh and said.

There is still a month and a half to go before the New Year, and the big guy naturally wants to go home early for the New Year, but he doesn't want to......

"It's our mother-in-law and grandson who have caused you ......"

In the end, Mrs. Wang inevitably said with guilt.

When Qin Wu, Yuan Xu and others heard what Wang Pozi said, they couldn't help but say with a wide range of eyes: "What are you talking about, if you say that you have affected us, then who have you been affected, if you want to blame those mountain bandits who killed a thousand knives, you have to do this thing that is damned by God." ”
