Chapter 69: Encountering Mountain Bandits
In the blink of an eye, Yun Rong had been in Qingzhou for more than a month.
Because it is close to Qingming, the drizzle has not stopped these days.
Yun Rong stood in front of the window, looking at the gray sky outside the window, her thoughts were mixed.
She agreed with Chi Mo on a March date, but judging from the current situation, she is afraid that she will return to Beijing early.
Lunon walked over and closed the window for her: "Miss, the rain is coming in, sit back and warm up for a while." ”
She took Yun Rong's hand, cold and cold.
Yun Rong answered, withdrew her hand from her hand, and sat back on the couch.
In an instant, the heating went from the bottom up, dispelling the chill on the body.
But it couldn't drive away the sadness in her heart.
"Miss misses Madame?"
During the Qingming season, it is normal for people to miss their relatives.
Yun Rong shook her head and sighed: "This year's flood season, I'm afraid it's going to be advanced." ”
There is a big river outside Qingzhou City, called Xihe, and the name of Xihe Street is because it is close to Xihe.
The West River floods every summer, and the severity of the situation depends on the annual rain.
Although the imperial court has sent people to control the water many times, almost all of them have treated the symptoms but not the root cause.
The water that should be sent will still be issued.
Qingzhou is okay in the city, but the people outside the city are not so lucky.
"How does Miss know that the flood season is going to be early?"
Lunon was puzzled.
Yun Rong looked up at the sky outside and said, "This rain has been falling for half a month, and I'm afraid that the West River has risen a lot." ”
With that, Lunon understood.
"What then?" Although you have to go through it every year, you may know in advance that it is good to avoid it.
Yun Rong shook her head: "No way." "Even if she knows that the flood season is early, she is not a fairy, she can calculate exactly what day it is, besides, even if she knows what day it is, these people will not necessarily listen to her.
Moreover, the time she has to wait for is the flood season of Xihe.
Hearing this, Lunon did not speak again.
Yun Rong glanced down at her and said, "Think I won't save me if I die?" ”
Lu Non shook her head: "The servant doesn't dare." ”
Yun Rong looked at her, her eyes were not shocked: "Don't dare, that's it." ”
Lunon looked up and opened her mouth to explain, but she didn't know where to start.
Yun Rong sighed and said: "Although I predicted that the flood season would be advanced, I don't know when it will come, besides, the flood season in previous years was around June, and now it is only the end of April, and there is still a coming month, if the rain decreases later, it is the same as in previous years, it is not known." ”
When Lu Non heard this, a trace of regret flashed in her heart.
"Miss, the maid is wrong."
Yun Rong was not angry, she knew that Lu Nong was kind-hearted, after all, there were so many lives.
If it were her, I was afraid that it would be the same as her.
"I don't blame you, after all, many people are homeless during the flood season every year, and if I really have a way and don't go to the rescue, I naturally don't deserve to be served by you anymore."
Lu Nong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, Fu Liu on the side picked up the conversation: "Sister Lu Nong, you love to worry about it, and you have your own government and court to solve it, you are easy to get old." ”
When she said this, Lunon was a little embarrassed.
Thinking that she always felt that Fuliu was very arrogant on weekdays, she was a little uneasy, but when it came to this kind of thing, she never thought that she could see more clearly than her.
I couldn't help but feel a little guilty for a while.
However, before she could finish feeling guilty, Yun Rong, who was sitting on the couch, opened her mouth: "Wait a minute, you go and tell your uncle these words, he will know how to do it." ”
The West River is often flooded, and Wenjin should have a countermeasure a long time ago.
Lu Nong nodded, and asked again, "Then what is Miss Qingming going to do?" ”
Yun Rong's heart froze, and then said: "Let's see how my aunt prepares, don't worry about these things." ”
Lu Nong responded, always feeling that when she asked about the Qingming Festival, Yun Rong was a little weird, as if she didn't want to mention more.
She felt that Yun Rong might miss the eldest lady, so she didn't say any more.
During the Qingming Festival, Yun Rong's injuries had all been healed.
Because she wanted to worship her ancestors, Mrs. Wen opened the door of the ancestral hall early and placed all kinds of fresh fruits on the offering table.
There is also a whole roast suckling pig.
When Yun Rong sorted out the past, the group went out and got into the carriage.
Before worshipping their ancestors, they had to go to the grave.
The ancestral tomb of the Wen family has a special cemetery outside Qingzhou City, where the ancestors of the Wen family are buried.
After leaving the city gate, the carriage traveled for another half hour or so before it stopped.
Yun Rong got out of the carriage and looked up, it was a good place, with towering mountains behind her and a wide view in front of her.
Wen Jin walked ahead and walked towards the cemetery.
Mrs. Wen followed, followed by Yun Rong's juniors.
Because Wenjin hired people to clean frequently, there are almost no weeds visible on the graves in the cemetery.
Led by Wenjin, several graves were symbolically added with soil.
Yun Rong's gaze fell on a tombstone on the far left: "This is?" ”
Seeing that she didn't move, Wen Jin hurriedly said, "This is a mound for your mother." ”
When he came back, he ignored the opposition of the clansmen, vacated a place in the ancestral tomb and set up a mound for Wen Yun.
It can be seen that the relationship between Wenjin and Wenyun is really good.
Yun Rong was stunned, an emotion that did not belong to her spread in her chest, and she said to Wen Jin with red eyes: "Thank you, uncle." ”
Wen Jin sighed and said, "You girl, you are a family that you don't thank or don't thank you." ”
Yun Rong was silent and did not speak.
The grave was soon over, and the group got into the carriage and began to walk back again.
Returning to the city from the cemetery will pass through a dense forest, which is the only way to return to the city.
After Yun Rong got up in the morning, her eyelids kept jumping.
I always felt like something was going to happen.
Seeing that her expression was wrong, Lu Nong couldn't help asking, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
Yun Rong shook her head, but she couldn't say it.
Lunon thought she had something to say, so she didn't ask any more questions.
She was thinking about whether to say something else to distract her, when the carriage suddenly stopped.
Lunon was unsteady and almost fell out of the carriage.
Yun Rong also grabbed the car window in a panic to be able to stabilize.
"What's going on?"
She asked.
Lu Nong shook his head and said busily, "Go down and take a look." ”
As he was talking, Fuliu's voice sounded outside: "Miss, we were intercepted by the mountain bandits." ”
Mountain bandits?
Yun Rong hurriedly lifted the curtain to see that the place where the carriage stopped was exactly the dense forest that it had to pass through.
"Let's go over and see."
As she spoke, she had already disembarked from the carriage.
Although Lu Nong knew her ability, she had just been injured earlier, and she was still a little worried, so she couldn't help but persuade: "Miss, why don't you let your uncle deal with it." ”
Compared with Lunon's worries, Fuliu seemed much more excited, she waved her hand and said, "Sister Lunon, don't you still believe Miss?" ”
Lu Non was stunned for a moment, and said, "But ......"
Yun Rong knew what she was worried about, and smiled: "It's okay, I'm all right." ”
Hearing her say this, Lunon was relieved.
The driver of the car pouted.
How can you be so happy to meet a mountain bandit?
Yun Rong led the two maids to the front of the convoy.
Wen Jin and Mrs. Wen have been surrounded by more than a dozen mountain bandits.
Wen Shuangyi's face was even more frightened, and she didn't know where to put her hands.
Fortunately, with Wen Xinyi comforting her, she didn't faint.
Wen Jin is a veteran of the shopping mall for a long time, and his ability to be fearless in danger is also good, and he arched his hand towards the mountain bandit who was the leader.
Then he took out all the silver and silver tickets he had with him, and said, "This master, some tea money, not a tribute." ”
The leader of the mountain bandits has a long scar on his face, which looks particularly scary.
Hearing his words, he bowed his mouth to a small mountain bandit next to him.
Immediately afterwards, the short mountain bandit walked over, took the silver from Wen Jin's hand, and handed it to Scarface.
Scarface took it in his hand and looked satisfied.
Then he walked over to him, patted Wen Jin's face and said, "For the sake of you being so acquainted, I don't feel sorry for you." ”
Wen Jin was overjoyed when he heard this.
However, before he was happy, he listened to Scarface and continued: "Is there a girl named Yun Rong among you?" As long as you hand her over, you will naturally not be embarrassed by you. ”
Wen Jin was stunned, his mind turned for a moment, and then he frowned and asked, "Madam, is there a person named Yun Rong in our team?" ”
Mrs. Wen knew what he meant, and almost without thinking, she denied: "No." ”
Hearing her words, Wen Jin then turned around and said to Scarface: "This master, you also heard it, we don't have a person named Yun Rong here." ”
Scarface looked at him with some disbelief, twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Really?" ”
Wen Jin nodded, raised his hand and promised, "Really." ”
Scarface snorted coldly and was about to speak.
I heard the dwarf mountain bandit who received the silver before: "Boss, don't we have a portrait? If you don't believe it, just take the portraits one by one, right? ”
They didn't shy away from anyone when they spoke.
Wen Jin and Mrs. Wen heard it clearly.
Suddenly, I felt a 'chuckle' in my heart, and a bad premonition hit my heart.
Scarface smiled and said, "It's still a military advisor who has more ideas, so let's compare it according to the portrait." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Wen Jin and shouted, "You, let your people all stand here, I want to compare them one by one." ”
A flash of panic flashed in Wen Jin's eyes.
hid again, and then smiled and said: "Master, there are most female dependents in the carriage, and you are all big men here, I'm afraid it's not very convenient." ”
Hearing his words, Scarface instantly laughed, and even the people who were with him also laughed together: "It's inconvenient for you to tell your master?" Do you know what you do? Ye is a mountain bandit, do you know what a mountain bandit is? The kind of people who burn, kill, rob and kidnap without evil are called mountain bandits, and it is inconvenient for you to talk to a mountain bandit? Brain show funny? ”
Wen Jin's face was scornful, but he couldn't show his true meaning.
Scarface didn't bother to care about him, snorted coldly, turned around and shouted, "You guys, bring them all over, check them one by one." ”
When Yun Rong arrived, she heard this sentence.
She raised her head and said in a loud voice, "No need, I'm the one you're looking for." ”
