212 The bandit kneels
"There are not many strange things, and the corpses in the cave yesterday are gone. Xiao Yuwen continued.
For a while, Lin Wanyan was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth, his senior brother was too powerful, right? Could it be that he was an immortal?
It was the people of Baihua Palace who died, Yiwei said that it was ordered by Yaoyin, and the task had not been completed, so Lin Wanyan could determine that if he had to distinguish between friend and foe, then Yiwei or Yaoyin should be friend, because they had common enemies.
What about Zhiwei? Lin Wanyan was annoyed in her heart, why didn't she think to ask this question last night?
"Did you say that your piano saved the man last night, or did he recover himself? Xiao Yuwen was puzzled. He has always been very confident in his medical skills, and even Gongsun Ye has praised him many times for his talent in this area, how can he not believe that he has made a mistake in judgment.
But he had to admit that even if he was to heal him, it was impossible for a person who was so seriously ill to have the ability to disappear silently in a few hours.
The only explanation is that this man is also a person who is good at witchcraft, and his ability is higher than that of those people in the Hundred Flowers Palace. No, it's a lot more powerful, with one enemy fifteen, although injured, it's no big problem.
"The third master also saw it last night, I played it for so long, and he didn't react at all. Lin Wanyan pursed his lips.
She didn't know if the sound of the piano had a healing effect, but as soon as Yi Wei opened her mouth, she said thank you, it should be useful.
Xiao Yuwen didn't speak, and continued to frown and think.
"Third Master, I think it's good as long as this person is not our enemy, and it is the people of Baihua Palace who died, so it will be good for us. Lin Wanyan said calmly.
Xiao Yuwen nodded, "Let's clean up and leave later." ”
"Good. Lin Wanyan smiled and finished answering, and went to pack his things.
Setting off again, Xiao Yuwen and his entourage did not follow the original plan, but deliberately made a little detour, so they rushed for five days later, which was actually only equivalent to a normal three-day journey.
And they did not continue to ride horses for all, but changed half of them to ride in carriages, and then took turns to rest, and traveled day and night, except for passing by the post station to change horses, they hardly stopped much, and even ate in the carriage.
Lin Wanyan and Xiao Yuwen have been riding in the carriage, although it is a little easier than riding a horse, but it is not much better, the carriage is fast, and the road is bumpy. And every meal is to eat dry food, and drinking hot water is a luxury.
In memory, the northwest should be a desolate place, and the Gobi Desert is within reach, and there are no people in a radius of 100 miles. But facts have proved that the common sense of modern geography that Lin Wanyan knows is not applicable here.
The farther they go northwest, the warmer the climate becomes, and the more lush vegetation becomes. But the people there don't seem to be rich, and the folk customs are quite fierce.
The reason why they say this is because on the way they encountered several gangs of bandits who blocked the road and robbed. It is not appropriate to say that it is a bandit, because there are almost no bandits who drag their families with their families, and both men, women, and children come to rob with big knives.
Of course, when encountering Xiao Yuwen's group, where can they please them, the leader will be put down in three or two clicks, and the others will only run away.
For such a person, Xiao Yuwen naturally won't kill them all, he will run away if he escapes, and he doesn't want to chase them.
On the sixth day, because it was still far away from the next official road station, there was no supply for either horses or men, so they had to camp in a wooded area during the night.
When the woods are lush, mosquitoes and wild animals are naturally abundant, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
The good thing is that they hunted dozens of fat hares and pheasants without much effort, and the paranormal guards who went a little further back even brought back an adult wild boar.
The harvest was so big, they didn't bother to catch the birds that had a few taels of meat. I hadn't tasted meat for a few days, and everyone chatted around the campfire while roasting game, and they had a lot of fun.
The bad thing is that there are many mosquitoes, some are poisonous, a bite is a big bag, and you can't scratch it with your hands, the more you scratch it, the more itchy it is, and it will spread into a piece after a while.
Fortunately, the spirit guard did his homework enough, and everyone in the company brought a special ointment with them, which was cool and cool when applied to the place where it was bitten, and it would be fine in a few hours.
But everyone knows in their hearts that they have to pass through many such jungles along the way, and the ointment is limited, so they still have to save money.
Xiao Yuwen didn't save at all, and he was a little extravagant, because the one who particularly attracted mosquitoes was Lin Wanyan, who was hit if he didn't pay attention, and finally even his neck was tightly encircled, and his face was covered with a veil, which looked very funny.
The most uncomfortable thing was when I slept at night, and there were no such thing as mosquito nets in the marching tents. It's hot, so wrap your whole body tightly, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
Moreover, even if the bag is tight, the sound of "buzzing" in the ears is really irritating.
But Lin Wanyan still fell asleep after a while, because there was a person sitting next to her, holding a fan and fanning it constantly, the range of action was exaggerated, saying that it was a fan to be cold, but it was better to chase mosquitoes.
Xiao Yuwen fanned this fan until the second half of the night, but he didn't close his eyes for a moment, and he was almost finished reading a military book in his hand.
He put down the book and stood up, twisting his sore and stiff neck, and his hand continued to fan the fan. Seeing Lin Wanyan sleeping sweetly, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
For so many days, this girl didn't complain, and she ate whatever everyone ate, without the squeamishness of a princess or princess.
Thinking that it was very inconvenient to be in a hurry on the road, and even deliberately drank less water, Xiao Yuwen watched her swallow dry food with difficulty, not to mention that it was not a taste in her heart.
From time to time, the two will talk about Brother Ze and Brother Hao, fantasizing about their happy life in the palace, just talking, both of them will be silent invariably, and neither of them will say that they miss the two children.
It's only a few days, and it seems like a long time has passed, and the feeling of longing becomes heavier and heavier as the distance gets farther and farther.
Xiao Yuwen thought that if he could, he would still be willing to live an ordinary life, accompany the person he loves to grow old slowly, and watch the children of the two grow up.
He can't choose what he is born in, and he won't choose to avoid responsibility, life is constantly making trade-offs, and he only hopes that his choice is not wrong.
was pondering, and a strange movement came into Xiao Yuwen's ears. He put down the fan in his hand and quickly walked out of the tent, and the night patrol paranormal guards had also noticed that there was a situation, and people kept coming out of the tent.
"Master, the person who came seems to be that gang of bandits, I don't know if they are passing by or coming at us. Ling Mu ran away to report to Xiao Yuwen with some tears and laughter.
Xiao Yuwen shook his head helplessly, since yesterday, a group of bandits who were beaten away by them have been secretly following.
The thieves were not enough to cause trouble, and they just followed, and they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so Xiao Yuwen didn't do anything to them.
"Figure out what they want to do, don't do it if you can, don't do it, move lightly, don't make a noise until Madame rests. ”
After Xiao Yuwen finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the tent, and continued to fan Lin Wanyan to catch mosquitoes.
However, after a cup of tea, Ling Mu came to Xiao Yuwen's door again and called softly: "Master, I may need you to come out for a while." ”
Xiao Yuwen wanted to scold, but after all, he still suppressed his anger and walked out of the tent.
In addition to Ling Mu, there were also Ling Yue and Ling Yin standing outside the tent, obviously, the two of them came to protect Lin Wanyan's safety.
"What's the matter? can't a group of bandits handle it?" Xiao Yuwen glanced at Ling Mu, raised his leg and walked forward.
"Master, this group of people wants to follow us..." Ling Mu whispered.
"What do you mean, make it clear!" Xiao Yuwen was quite unhappy.
"It's just... I'll find out later, master..." Ling Mu said with a smile.
Xiao Yuwen turned his head and glared at Ling Mu and didn't speak again.
In the distance, Xiao Yuwen saw that in front of the lit bonfire, the flat grass was densely packed with kneeling people, men, women and children, and some women were carrying sleeping babies on their backs.
It should be the bandits, but how can there be so many people? I'm afraid there are more than 2,000 people, right? What does it mean that they are all on their knees?
"Everyone, please get up and speak!" Yang Chengyue said angrily and amusefully to the thieves.
But the bandits still knelt and were unmoved. Yang Chengyue didn't bother to help, because he just helped him up here, and knelt down on that side, and it was useless.
"Hero, if you don't let us follow, we won't get up, kneel until the hero agrees!"
The tall, powerful, dark-skinned man kneeling in the middle of the front row said resolutely.
"Why are you bothered? As I said, we are not heroes, we are bodyguards with a mission, so what use do you say you can follow us?"
Yang Chengyue spread his hands helplessly.
"Heroes, you are all excellent in martial arts, and you still let us live knowing that we are at fault first. In our eyes, you are the embodiment of justice in the world, you are not heroes, who dares to call yourself heroes?" the man continued.
"This..." Yang Chengyue really didn't know what to say. In the eyes of these people, is it so easy to be a hero?
"If we are heroes and we rise up and speak, both men and women, with gold under our knees, and kneel to heaven and earth to our parents, and no one else should kneel indiscriminately. ”
Before Xiao Yuwen could reach his voice, the group of thieves looked at Xiao Yuwen who was walking at the same time.
At this time, Xiao Yuwen did not wear a disguise mask, and his handsome face that was not angry and powerful could not be refuted at all.
The bandits' eyes didn't dare to look at them, and they all looked at the person in the lead.
I saw that the man slowly stood up, and the others followed suit.
