Chapter 348: Mountain Bandits
Although the Qin Wu clan didn't agree with Mrs. Wang's words, Mrs. Wang had a sentence that was right, and the picture was a comfort.
Although Yuan Xu's heart knew that Mrs. Wang was really distressed by Tong Shuangxi, he was still worried that the two who had just married were separated because of this matter, and they would have to wait until the New Year to return to the capital.
After Qin Wu comforted the two of them for a few words, he turned the topic elsewhere, and as soon as he spoke, Mrs. Wang and Yuan Xu also temporarily forgot the worries in their hearts.
After the carriage had been gone for eight or nine days, it encountered a rare heavy rainstorm, and the road at the bottom of the mountain was blocked by stones and trees, and it was impossible to cross it for a while.
Qin Lao Neng, Old Man Yuan, and Qian San discussed, rented a few rooms in the nearby Zhuangzi, settled down temporarily, and waited for the heavy rain to stop and the road surface was cleared before continuing to move forward.
The rented Zhuangzi is guarded by a family of six, it is said that it is the Zhuangzi of a certain lord in the city, because of the long distance, it is rare to come to check it in person, so this family of six on weekdays in addition to guarding the Zhuangzi, will also rent out the excess houses on the Zhuangzi, so as to earn some chew.
"This realm is backed by the mountains, and there are many mountain bandits, especially in the New Year, these mountain bandits go down the mountain at two ends in three days, especially a convoy like yours, which is the most dangerous, so you must not walk at night, even if you do, don't take the trail, you must take the official road."
The old woman of this family lit the fire on the one hand, and said to the mother-in-law Wang who was helping in the kitchen, Yuan Xu's family.
Mrs. Wang and the others were shocked when they heard the words of this old woman, they had only heard of this mountain bandit, but they had never really seen it, could it be true?
"Then the government doesn't care? Just let them snatch like this? ”
Qin Wu couldn't help but ask.
"Since ancient times, officials and bandits are a family, and it is a ghost place like us in a poor and remote country, as long as there is no death, the government will not care at all, some time ago, a businessman in the capital returned to his hometown with his wife and children for the New Year, and he also lived with us that night, but who knew that he left Zhuangzi in the morning, and was robbed in the afternoon, and the family finally walked back to Zhuangzi alive, and later reported to the official, but in the end it was not over, and he could only rely on the rich businessman's wife to hide the silver ticket in the underwear before returning to the capital!"
The old woman said to the princess and the princess with a sigh.
When Mrs. Wang and Yuan Xu heard this, they couldn't help but sigh as well, and when they finished eating, they gave the old woman's words to the big guy.
After hearing this, Old Man Yuan and Qian San and the others became even more vigilant in their hearts, even in this Zhuangzi, they didn't dare to fall asleep when they slept at night, and they were busy getting up to check at the slightest movement.
After three days, the stones and branches on the official road were finally cleared, and after Qian San paid off the money for renting the house, he asked the man of the family for the route, and then the group was back on the road.
Because of the matter of the mountain bandits, the group couldn't help but be very vigilant, as long as it was evening, they would find an inn to rest, and would rather take a detour than take the trail.
In the evening of that day, the group stayed in an inn, but there were very few customers in the store, so Tong Shuangxi simply asked Qian San to charter all the rooms on the second floor of the inn, so as not to worry.
When it was time for dinner, he heard a commotion in front of the inn, and Qian San hurriedly took Qin Ergouzi and the third uncle of the Yuan family downstairs to check.
When the three of them came back, their faces were very unsightly.
"What's wrong?"
Old Man Yuan and Old Man Qin were busy asking what was going on.
"Someone was robbed again, saying that it was on the trail ten miles away, and this time not only robbed the finances, but even ...... Even the daughter-in-law who the youngest son had just married was robbed. ”
Saying that, Qian San and the others looked at Tong Shuangxi and the other female relatives worriedly.
Hearing this, except for Tong Shuangxi, Dafeng Erfeng and Xiaoyin, their faces immediately turned pale.
I didn't expect this bandit to be so rampant, it wasn't dark yet, and he began to rob people and things, Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but think in his heart.
"That's good!"
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly looked at Qian San and asked a few people.
Qian San, Qin Ergouzi, and the third uncle of the Yuan family couldn't help but turn pale.
Not to mention that Qin Ergouzi and the third uncle of the Yuan family have never seen a bandit, even Qian San, a person who has some kung fu, has never dealt with that bandit, and he has no bottom in his heart.
Seeing this, the big guy couldn't help but be anxious, Tong Shuangxi glanced at the Wang mother-in-law and the others who were full of anxiety, and then at the frightened Dafeng and Erfeng, and couldn't help but say: "Except for the aunt, grandmother, and second grandmother, the rest of the female dependents all changed into men's clothes." ”
After speaking, Tong Shuangxi looked at Qin Ergouzi and Qian San.
"I've got a few changes of clothes there, I'll go back to the house and get them!"
When Qian Sanyi heard Tong Shuangxi's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly said.
"I have it there, I'll get it too!"
Qin Ergouzi, the third uncle of the Yuan family, and Tong Shuangshuang reacted, and they also hurriedly went back to the house to get their clothes.
Several aunts of the Yuan family and the third daughter-in-law of the Qian family couldn't help but turn pale when they heard Tong Shuangxi's words, they were all married and had children, could it be that these bandits didn't even let them go......
"If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, these bandits have no humanity and can do anything."
Tong Shuangxi saw their thoughts and couldn't help but explain.
Seeing Tong Shuangxi say this, everyone couldn't help but nodded.
After Qian San and the others brought a change of clothes, all the female relatives went back to the house to change their clothes.
Tong Shuangxi and Dafeng, Erfeng and Xiaoyin are young and small, Tong Shuangshuang's clothes will also be suitable, Tong Shuangxi is very glad that he brought a few more clothes to his younger brother at that time.
After a few people changed their clothes, Tong Shuangxi helped Dafeng Erfeng and a few people change their hair into a man's style, and then found a box of darker powder from the toiletry bag, which was specially bought by Tong Shuangxi on a whim when buying the powder, but he didn't expect it to be useful at this time.
When the third daughter-in-law of the Qian family and several aunts of the Yuan family came over after changing their clothes, they saw Tong Shuangxi and a few people, and couldn't help but exclaim: "If you don't know this, you really think it's a few boys!" ”
"Give your aunt and Aunt Qian a few people to paint too!"
Compared with the complexion of Tong Shuangxi and the others, the complexion of Qian San's daughter-in-law and several uncles of the Yuan family was a little too fair, so Yuan Xu couldn't help but say.
After everyone cleaned up, Tong Shuangxi took Qian San and Qin Ergouzi downstairs.
