Chapter 32: Searching for the Secret Letter (2)
Cheng Chen saw the two sisters and brothers desperately calling for help, as if he saw the same helplessness he had once had. Cheng Chen decided to save the two.
Cheng Chen walked in front of the boy, and before he could react, he kicked him back a few steps to the ground. The boy was kicked and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and screaming in pain.
"Ahh There was a pig-killing cry......
This scene happened very quickly, and the group of family members were stunned, and only when they reacted did they wave their sticks and rush towards Cheng Chen.
Li Hong saw that Cheng Chen naturally wouldn't watch the show, and the two of them knocked these seven or eight families to the ground in a moment, these families have no martial arts, and they are really not enough to watch if they are too weak.
Cheng Chen finished solving those little minions, came to the boy, and stepped on his face with his foot.
"Get out with your people!"
"You! Do you know who I am? The boy's face was trampled on, and he said with difficulty.
Cheng Chen lifted his foot and stomped on his face hard, drew the long sword from the scabbard, and pressed the tip of the sword against his throat.
"Woo!" The boy couldn't even scream this time, and directly let out a ghost crying wolf howl.
"Get out!"
"Good! I'll get out! Please don't do it! Brother Gongzi felt that all his teeth were loosened by this seemingly delicate woman, and he begged for mercy incoherently.
Cheng Chen let go of him, and the boy got up and ran away with his subordinate Ding Fei.
"Thank you two benefactors for saving your life!" Seeing that they were saved, the two sisters and brothers came over and knelt down in front of Cheng Chen and kowtowed.
"No thanks! We drove them away, but what will you do when we leave? Where are your parents? After Cheng Chen picked up the two, he asked them.
"My sister and brother have passed away, and the remaining sister and brother depend on each other for their lives! After the two benefactors left, we also left here to find our aunt. The pretty sister said.
Cheng Chen looked at the two sisters and brothers in coarse cloth clothes, and had the intention to give the two of them some silver taels, but there were many people on the street, so don't hurt the two of them. Send the Buddha to the west, or not! Help them again.
Cheng Chen took his sister and brother out of the town, helped them find a carriage, and gave them ten taels of silver and some broken silver.
"Benefactor! The little woman's name is Ye Lan! My brother's name is Ye Fan! Today's benefactor is very kind, and the little girl sister and brother remember it in their hearts! The little girl asks her benefactor to tell her the little girl's name! Even if there is no day to see each other from now on, and there is no chance to repay the benefactor, the little girl will pray for the benefactor day and night! The sister and brother knelt down and kowtowed to Cheng Chen three times.
"My surname is Cheng!" Cheng Chen didn't want to tell too much.
"Let's go!"
Cheng Chen saw the carriage drive far away, and then he got on the horse and continued to hurry.
"Lihong! I'm hungry. ”
"............" Lihong
For this chivalrous drama of saving beauty, Cheng Chen paid a lot of price! Hungry chest against back, but continue to run.
Cheng Chen and the others missed a town, so they had to continue to rush forward to find the next town to settle down to eat.
After running for more than 30 miles, I finally found a smaller town.
Cheng Chen is really hungry......
I feel like I can eat a cow!
"Little two! Serve all the signature dishes in your store, and make up a few more dishes and soup. Cheng Chen sat in the lobby of a restaurant and shouted.
A chivalrous woman must have the heroic demeanor of a chivalrous woman!
"Great!" I have to meet a high roller, and the shopkeeper jumps much more neatly than usual, and there will be a reward to be taken after serving.
There is no private room in the restaurant in the town, and Cheng Chen is reluctant to take off the hat when he sits in the lobby, even when he eats, he also wears the hat, which is very obstructive.
Cheng Chen and the two had eaten, it was almost dark, the winter days were short and the nights were long, so they decided to rest here for one night, and they were in a hurry early tomorrow morning, and the two asked the store for two rooms!
As soon as the day dawned, Cheng Chen and the others took the prepared dry food and continued to hurry.
It's better to bring some dry food with you for a long journey. There is no guarantee that you will encounter a rural town on the way to a remote place. If you want to stay overnight in the wilderness, you can also try to do so.
Therefore, if Cheng Chen and the others pass through a crowded place, they have to prepare dry food, and the first day is not enough, but fortunately, it is close to the border of Chang'an and densely populated.
Cheng Chen and the others rushed for more than half a month, and finally arrived at the Lancang River.
Li Hong took Cheng Chen to a section of the river surrounded by mountains and valleys, and a two-story boat was moored on the river.
There were two captains on the ship, and a butler and ten people dressed as guards stood at the bow of the ship to lead Cheng Chen and the others onto the ship.
"I've seen Miss!" The crowd sang in unison.
"Miss, change your clothes and let them take them away! The official lady doesn't have a riding suit! Lihong reminded.
"Hmm!"
Leisurely flowing water, light green water, silk waves!
Cheng Chen stood on the boat and looked at the quiet river in front of him, feeling very peaceful in his heart. It is a river without navigation, so it shows a simple, rustic, natural beauty, just like the unadorned woman in the mountains.
"Miss! Your current identity: Zhang Ruoyi, the only daughter of Zhang Zhonghua, the only daughter of Midu Changshi! At the age of twenty-eight, my mother died early! Here is the young lady's road guide, the identity certificate pass certificate! There are also a few handwritten letters from Lord Changshi! Miss read it as soon as possible and write it down! Lihong walked up dressed as a maid and holding a blue cloth bag in his hand.
"The habitat of these water bandits is not in the Great Xia Dynasty, on the periphery of the border between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Land of Chaos, the water bandits have a deep relationship with the small country in the Land of Chaos, so it is not easy for officers and soldiers to cross the border to clean up, and I heard that their water village is easy to defend and difficult to attack! Even if we caught a water bandit, we tried our best to commit suicide, just because our family was still in the village, so we could only be robbed back and act! ”
Cheng Chen heard what Lihong said and had a headache, and wanted to come up to the shipbuilding to see the natural scenery to express his emotions, and to sigh with a few poems that fit the occasion.
"The slave is called Hong'er! The housekeeper's name is Zhang Dachun, the guard..."
In the early winter morning, the wind is cold...
The boat kept moving slowly along the direction of the river, and after driving for a day and a night, it gradually came to a slightly inhabited section of the river.
This time was used to rest the two who were tired from the journey, and asked the two to write down the resumes related to the identity documents, as well as the resumes of Zhang Zhonghua himself.
"Haha! Big boss! This flock of sheep is so fat! Five large merchant ships in front and behind! It's full of goods! Brother looks at the joy in my heart! ”
A burly man with a full face was standing on a medium-sized sailboat with a spiked protrusion in the bow, announcing something to a man in his fifties.
"Hmmm! Fourth! Hurry up and move all the cargo on board to your own ship! The men were slaughtered, and the women were brought back to the stockade! Yue'er has also reached the age of marrying a wife, so let's get him a few concubines first, hahaha! Move fast! ”
The old man said indifferently, his face was also full of joy!
The old man stood at the bow of the ship and kept looking at the slaughter in front of him, with an excited and crazy look on his face.
Long-lost blood! Lao Tzu has been nesting in the village for more than three months, but he is uncomfortable!
In the past two or three months, there has been a shortage of food and meat in the village, and the gold and silver in the village cannot be exchanged for food.
Fortunately, last month, it was reported that Li Chong's hungry wolf who couldn't feed himself had died, and Lao Tzu watched for half a month without any movement, so he took his brothers out to do the activity!
