"Fang Qiang, you take a few people up the mountain to see, what's going on?" Si Nong ordered one of the guards standing behind him.

Fang Qiang took the order and took a few people up the mountain to investigate.

Now that the sky has darkened, Si Nong estimated that the group of people from Su Mansion should have arrived in Dancheng, but before leaving, the fourth lady said that the two maids of Su Mansion had gone to the government to report to the official to arrest the thief, but they did not come back before the team set off, so let him help find it.

The two maids are insignificant, even if they die, at most they will only change to another one, but Su Yi's eyes are not the maids of his own family, which makes Si Nong feel sour, as if someone robbed him of his candy.

"That, Li Suming, you go to the yamen where this place is located and ask to see if there are any maids from Su Mansion who have gone over to report to the official, and if there is, let the generals of the nearest barracks from here stay a thousand people to come and suppress the bandits." Si Nong ordered again, this maid is no longer important to him, but it is different for the two young ladies of Su Mansion, it's just that Su Qing is still reasonable, and she didn't let herself have to find her maid, but it's different for the fourth lady, who gave her the courage to order herself, the current Nine Princes, to do things?

"Lord Jiu, a few months ago, the little one came here to do business, and I never heard of such a group of bandits here, and the little one thought that these people are not extremely vicious people, maybe they are just forced by life to do this evil thing." Li Suming is a guard from a peasant family, and he is very touched by the lives of the people at the bottom, so he usually looks at the things around him with a sympathetic heart.

Si Nong understands what kind of person he is around, but such a woman's kindness will sometimes harm herself.

"Li Suming, what kind of people are these people, how can you know if you don't go to see it? Now that Fang Qiang has passed, when he comes back, we will be able to understand. After Si Nong finished speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated.

Li Suming knew that this was the prince telling him again that it was time to do what he had to do, so he bowed his hand and said goodbye, rode a fast horse, and galloped towards the county office.

Besides, after Huanyu and Jin Xiu left the hillside, they kept going down according to the road pointed out by Su Yi, but as they walked, they felt that they were getting farther and farther away from the county seat.

Jin Xiu took Huanyu's hand and said fearfully: "Huanyu, why do I think it's wrong for us to go more and more?" ”

Huanyu looked at the increasingly dense trees around him, and his heart became worried, and the little black dog given by the young lady only knew how to sleep all the way, and he didn't even raise his head, which didn't come in handy at all.

"Jin Xiu, why don't we go back! I think my young lady will be able to think of a solution. Huanyu didn't say anything more, because if they continued to walk, they could only go deeper into the mountain, and it would be difficult for them to come out at that time.

"Okay."

The two sisters supported each other and walked back and forth when they began to go back and forth, but the trees in the mountains did not look different, and they were not sure whether the road they were walking now was the way they came.

The two of them walked for a long time, and saw that there were people in front of them, and there were people coming and going, they were suddenly happy, and they saw the village, and it was estimated that it was not far from the county government.

At this moment, the little black dog woke up, he raised his head and sniffed in the air, thinking that it was not good, but he couldn't bark, so he grabbed Huanyu's clothes and wanted to pull her back.

Huanyu thought that the little black dog was playing with him, so he held his head down and didn't let him move.

Xiao Hei knew that the people in front of him were not normal people's people at all, but the gang of thieves under the mountain. If according to Su Yi's thoughts, although there are so many wicked people in this group, most of them are forced to rob money and property, although they may not hurt people's lives, but it is only possible, if these two stupid girls meet people like the father and son under the mountain, they will inevitably fall into the clutches of the devil.

Xiao Hei bit to no avail, but he didn't dare to scream, so he could only check the situation around him vigilantly.

Huanyu and the two went around all the way, and then they came to the so-called village.

At first glance, this place was no different from other villages, but when Huanyu and Jin Xiu appeared, the people who were working were all there, looking at them in amazement.

Huanyu didn't know why, she also looked at herself, only to see that her body was very dirty, and her face was also covered with mud, she was really embarrassed, she wiped her face with her sleeve with a smile, and then said: "May I ask, how far is it from the Yamen?" ”

Huanyu's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which frightened everyone into scattering, and they ran back to their respective houses with hulala, and closed the doors of the houses together, and some of them looked at the two of them through the windows and cracks in the doors.

When did Jin Xiu see this kind of situation, she was so frightened that she pulled Huanyu's arm tightly, and her fingers unconsciously pinched Huanyu's little fat meat, and whispered: "Sister Yu, are we in the wrong place?" ”

Huanyu was also strange, she just asked for directions, why did these people react like this?

"Don't be afraid, our two sisters just passed by here, thinking about going to the city to join their relatives, but we didn't know the way, so we came here." Huanyu said loudly, explaining, hoping to dispel these people's guards.

Among these people, there are also bold ones, I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old child slowly open the door, Huanyu thought he was opening the door for the two of them, smiled and walked over, wanting to say hello, but the child quickly rushed out of it and ran into the distance, but he didn't say a word, and the door of the house where he came out was quickly closed by the people inside.

Seeing such a situation, these people are really going to expose them here, and at noon in such a scorching sun, there is no one, even an old man and grandmother who come out to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

Huanyu's wish didn't wait long, and the little boy who ran away quickly really walked over slowly with an old man in his arms.

"Two girls, slack, I don't know, what are you doing here with us?" The old village chief is very weak at the moment, if it is not a last resort, he will easily not go down the mountain, if he goes down the mountain, his old bones will fall apart, and now, he was pulled over by this little ghost, saying that there was a stranger in the village, and asked where the government was, such a major matter, even if he really broke up, he was going to come, after all, the man who can be the master here, only he is the old man.

At that time, Huanyu and the others were still some distance away from the group of people under the mountain, so they didn't see what those people looked like, and even if they saw the old village chief now, she didn't recognize them.

When Huanyu saw that someone had come forward, he knew that this matter had been discussed, so he respectfully gave a salute, "Grandpa, our two sisters went to the county seat to join their relatives, but we are not familiar with this road, so we came to this village, I don't know, can you help show the way?" ”

Su Yi has always taught that he doesn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, at this moment, Huanyu is giving full play to this sentence, he is afraid that others will not be able to see his smile, and the corners of his mouth are about to reach the root of his ears.

At this time, those who were hiding behind the door also came out, surrounding the old village chief and the two of them in the middle, and some even had dicks in their hands.

The old village chief also smiled politely and said: "The little girl is really polite, it's just that our village is in this big mountain, there is no village and town in front of it, and there is no house in the back, even if it is to the nearest official road, it will take half an hour, the two girls came to this village by mistake, and it also means that they are destined to us, so that the two of you will stay for the time being, and wait for tomorrow morning, I will let you send the two to the county seat, how about it?" ”

Huanyu They can't wait for tomorrow, and now Mrs. Sufu is waiting for the two of them to save it, if this is delayed, I don't know what will happen.

"No, don't bother, just tell us how to get to the county seat." Jin Xiu hid behind Huanyu and said timidly.

The old village chief also understands that the two young girls will inevitably be afraid when they come to a strange place, and he didn't care too much about Jin Xiu's reaction, so he said with a smile: "Girl, look at us people, the old and the young, there are more women and fewer men, there is really no one who has the ability to take the two down the mountain, and tomorrow morning, the father and son of the pillar in our village will come back, they are very familiar with the mountain road here, and let them send the two down the mountain when the time comes." ”

When Huanyu and Jin Xiu heard the name of the pillar, their hearts were excited, and Huanyu asked tentatively: "The old man said that the father and son of the pillar are the father and son who opened a tea shop at the foot of the mountain?" ”

"Yes," the old village chief saw that they knew about the father and son of the pillar, and felt that there was no need to explain too much, and said kindly: "Since the two of them know the father and son of the pillar, then this matter will be easy to handle, and when the father and son come back, they will take the two into the city." ”

The old village chief said it very sincerely, but Huanyu and the others didn't think it was a good thing.

Jin Xiu tugged on Huanyu's sleeve hard, in fact, Huanyu didn't know where the two of them had accidentally bumped into the thief's den, but were these people in front of him really thieves?

"Old man, our sisters are really anxious to go to the county seat, or you can probably tell our sisters which way to get to the county seat, and we can go by ourselves." Huanyu didn't want to waste too much time here.

When the old village chief was hesitating, a man in his forties came over and whispered a few words in the old village chief's ear, only to see that the old village chief's face turned pale and sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Can you really see it?" The old village chief still couldn't believe it, and asked again.

The middle-aged man nodded, and said with certainty: "Yes, old village chief, I hid on the high slope as usual, and the things under the mountain were clearly seen, the father and son were indeed killed, and after the group of people left, the group of people who came behind stayed, it seems that they want to search the mountain." ”

"How, how is this good? There are only a few dozen people left in our village, if it weren't for this journey, everyone supported each other, I'm afraid that there are only a few people left until now, but now everyone is together, just to find a way to survive, but, now, the pillar father and son are actually dead, so what can we do with the old and the young! The old village chief complained bitterly and his face was full of grievances, but Huanyu did not sympathize with him.
