Chapter 389: The Arrival of the Would-be Bandits
"What about the other courtyard of King Jing's Mansion on the mountain? Has anyone been informed? "Although there are many guards in the courtyard, there are many Japanese robbers, and their temperament is barbaric and ferocious, and the self-proclaimed master of Yangjun is not there, and Princess Jing is not safe on the mountain.
Mrs. Yang, who was in charge of the pig farm, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "After we got the news, my man went to the other courtyard as soon as possible." At this time, the princess's side should be almost cleaned up!! ”
Yu Xiaocao looked around the courtyard and saw that the burden in everyone's hands was not big, and it should be to facilitate the escape, so he only brought the valuable things at home. Yu Hai and Liu Hu carried more things in the baskets, in addition to necessities, they also brought more than 20 catties of food each, and an iron pot, and some dishes and chopsticks. I don't know when those would-be able to retreat after they grabbed something. You have to stay in the mountains for at least a few days, and the Yu family and the Liu family are a big family, so you can't bring the necessary food!
Entering his room, Yu Xiaocao simply packed up two changes of clothes, and brought the silver tickets, broken silver and some jewelry locked in the cabinet. After thinking about it, she also carried the medicine box in the corner, which contained pills for treating minor ailments such as wind chills and colds, as well as medicinal powder to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation.
Not long after, Princess Jing was escorted down the mountain by more than 20 guards, and the maids and mothers-in-law around Princess Jing were in charge of the servants, adding up to no less than twenty, which was mighty and mighty, and the scale was larger than that of the Yu and Liu families.
Princess Jing looked unusually calm, she glanced at the Yu family, and said to Yu Xiaocao, who was calm and calm: "When I came down from the mountain, I saw that those fleets of unknown origin were not far from the shore. Have you figured it out? Do you really want to go into the mountains to take refuge? Didn't you say that there were beasts of prey in the mountains? ”
Yu Xiaocao stepped forward to hold Princess Jing's arm, and said in a soft but firm voice: "Don't worry, Niangniang!" If we don't go into the mountains, we shouldn't encounter those fierce beasts. ”
"If it's on the outskirts of the mountain, if it's a Japanese robber who can't grab anything valuable, will you chase it into the mountain and kill people to vent their anger?" The young man who looked like the chief of the guard next to him asked with a wrinkled face.
Yu Xiaocao thought for a while and said, "I know a valley that is relatively secret. And the entrance is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so let's go there to dodge, even if the Japanese invaders find the entrance, and the guards are guarding it, it will not be easy for them to attack it. ”
Princess Jing glanced at her and asked, "Is it the valley where many wild camellias and orchids grow?" If it were there, it would be quite secretive. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang meaningfully. These two girls had been to that valley with Xiaocao, and brought back several rare flowers. But the second time there was no grass to accompany them, the two girls couldn't find the entrance to the valley. Mei Xiang said again and again that they remembered every section of the road clearly, but they couldn't find the entrance, and the valley seemed to have disappeared suddenly.
Yu Xiaocao nodded and said, "Well, apart from there, I can't think of any other place suitable for hundreds of people to hide!" ”
"A few hundred? And with the men, women and children of the village? When there are many people, there will be many accidents, Miss Yu must think clearly! The head of the guard didn't seem to approve of her carrying so much burden, and his brow furrowed even tighter.
"Everyone is a folk, and some of them are still related to their relatives, so we can't let them go. If you have the ability, why not help? "It's been almost four years since I came here, and most of the people in Dongshan Village are simple and lovely, except for a few who are more superb. The simple folk customs and warm family affection make Yu Xiaocao feel more and more at home. When danger came, she couldn't bear to give up on anyone, even if that person had a grudge against her.
The Yu family was ready, but the village was full of chickens and dogs, and the villagers were panicking. Many people are reluctant to throw this one, and that one should be brought with them. Especially for those who are elderly, every stitch and thread at home is bought with money, and even the dustpan with a hole has to be dragged and carried.
When the appointed time was approaching, the front of the village chief's house was full of people with large bags and small luggage. The village chief looked at a villager who was carrying a huge burden on his left shoulder, a large basket full of things in his right hand, and was almost overwhelmed when he walked two steps, and he was angry:
"Now it's a run, not a move!! Can you go over the mountains like you? You're just waiting to be caught by the Japanese and dig out your liver!! They all opened their burdens for me, and in addition to money, they left only three days' food and two rooms of warm clothing. Throw everything else down for me!! ”
Seeing the villagers, you look at me, I look at you, and if you don't move, the village chief is angry: "If you don't listen to persuasion!" Yes!! You're all in your own hands! I can't manage it, can't I do it anyway? The second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law, you are responsible for taking care of the children and giving you men the things in your hands. Give me all away!! ”
When the villagers saw that the village chief had left them alone, they immediately panicked. Many villagers began to streamline their luggage, clearing out the things that were not so important and finding a place to hide them. Although the burden in their hands was still a little heavy, it didn't affect their actions much. After streamlining their luggage, the villagers dragged their families behind the village chief and headed towards the west mountain.
The villagers, who were reluctant to throw things, stumbled after the crowd and were soon left far behind. Among them is the Zhang family.
Zhang carried a large bamboo basket on his back, in addition to food, there were also many daily necessities, and even the crockpot that was missing a mouth was reluctant to throw it down, and it was also put in the basket. Of course, she carried the money at home closely, and even the Li family didn't know where her mother-in-law's silver was hidden on her body.
Yu Dashan behind her, the huge burden on her shoulders, obviously even the quilt at home has been packed. At this time, Yu Dashan looked like a small mountain on his shoulders, and he was panting like a cow after taking two steps.
Li is carrying fewer things than the two of them, but she is too fat, usually lazy and lacks exercise, and she can't breathe after walking a short distance, not to mention carrying more than 30 pounds of luggage.
Gradually, the three of them fell behind the back of the group, moving three times at a time, and walking with great difficulty. Li also turned back step by step, thinking about his son who worked at the dock, and prayed that there would be nothing wrong at the Tanggu wharf.
The village chief's family had already come to the foot of the West Mountain at this time, and joined Princess Jing's team in front of the Yu family. Looking at the more than twenty majestic guards, the village chief's heart calmed down a little.
He stepped forward to salute Princess Jing and said to Yu Hai: "The sea, although you haven't been in the mountains much in the past two years, after all, you have been hunting with General Zhao Xiao for a few years, and the terrain in the mountains is more familiar than those of us who have black eyes." Do you think it's better to hide more of the two hundred people in our village? ”
Before Yu Hai could speak, a figure jumped from the tree next to him, it was Captain Zheng who had been paying attention to the dynamics of the fleet. He was holding a telescope in his hand.
At this time, the chief of the Zheng guard looked awe-inspiring, his face was a little anxious, and he said loudly: "The fleet has docked, and it is really a wolf!" They all carry knives, and the ones who come are not good!! Mother, without further ado, let's go!! ”
Yujia is located at the foot of the West Mountain, on higher ground. When the village chief heard this, he looked in the direction of the sea, and sure enough, there were more than a dozen boats docked on the shore, and dozens of people who couldn't see their faces clearly had already stepped on the beach and came in the direction of the village.
The village chief glanced back at the team behind him, and saw that there were still more than a dozen families who refused to give up their luggage, and walked at the back of the house. He shouted at those people with hatred: "Is it important to have things or human lives??" The pirates are already on shore, and it won't be long before they catch up! Don't throw away the big burden on your back, it's important to escape!! ”
Yu Xiaocao glanced at Zhang, who was gray-haired and walking at the back of the line, and looked away indifferently. She walked up to Princess Jing, helped her sit on a chair carried by two strong servants, beckoned the Yu family and the Liu family to follow, and took the lead towards the mountain forest she was familiar with.
Walking not too far from the pig farm, she blew a loud whistle, and a black figure rushed towards her like lightning. When I got closer, it was Xiao Hei, who had grown to a height of a man, flicked its big fluffy tail, excitedly circled around the grass, and after getting her caresses, followed her with satisfaction, and never left for a moment.
The two little wolves, Xiaobai's temperament is relatively wild, and they often run into the mountains and forests to claim the king's hegemony, and from time to time they bring back a prey to Xiaocao. Most of the time, it spends its time exploring in the western mountains, and once it even dragged back a cheetah. However, it was also covered with color, and Xiaocao wiped its wound with spirit stone water and herbs, and the wound soon healed. This product is typically healed and forgot the pain, the wound just scabbed, and went to the mountains and forests again.
Xiao Hei is a little closer to people. Every day, I stayed in the pig farm very dutifully, and was fed fat and strong by the housekeeper sister-in-law and Xiaolian of the pig farm, and my body shape became more and more close to the pig. This product is very good at being cute and cute, taller than grass, every time I see her, I have to let her hug her. Although Xiaocao can't hold it for a long time, he has to hug and touch his head to smooth the hair before he is satisfied! If you don't know, you must not have imagined that this cute thing is a real wolf!
Yu Xiaocao walked in front with Xiao Hei, and beside her were two guards with swords to open the way. Followed by Princess Jing's car, Chief Zheng and several skilled guards protected her to the core. Then there is the team of the Yu family and the Liu family, the eldest grandfather Yu Lichun's family, who was also pulled over by the old Yu Tou, and followed the Yu family to act together.
Now, the Yu family and the Liu family are the safest in the eyes of the villagers of Dongshan Village, because more than a dozen guards in the Jingwang Mansion are protected by them. The guards of the Xishan Courtyard, they are all carefully selected, and they are all good at each other!
