59. The road meets the bandits

"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to pass from this mountain, and leave the money to buy the road!"

......

His blue eyelids jumped, looking at the two middle-aged men in front of him, their clothes were ragged, and although their faces were loyal, what they shouted was indeed the lines of the bandits.

After half a year, she and Lizhu Niang and Xiang'er walked out of Huaicheng and went all the way south, and finally encountered a robbery.

Along the way, because there was no disturbance of the pursuers, there was no need to hide and hide, so the three of them stopped and stopped, and lived in a town for two or three days. And the costume also changes from time to time, silver and other valuables have long been sewn into the underwear by Lizhu Niang, and it is divided into three parts, one person hides one.

The purse in hand only left some broken silver. They still have the common sense that when they are outside, their wealth is not exposed.

But just like that, after all, I still ran into a thief on the mountain.

Dye Qing stood down from the carriage frame, at this time she was dressed in a light gray gown, and her skin did not need to be blackened, because after half a year of wind and sun, her skin had become a light wheat color, and it was no longer as white and pink as it was at the beginning.

Therefore, now she is quite handsome in men's clothes, although the immaturity between her eyebrows still exists, after all, she is only fifteen years old.

Returning to the two people in front of her, she first clenched her fists and said in a low voice: "Two brothers, I don't know what difficulties there are to take this road, you might as well say it." I passed by here with my old mother and younger brother, and I didn't say hello to my brother, so please forgive me. ”

After saying this, the two strong men looked at each other, a little confused, they were obviously here to rob, why did this person talk about it.

There were a few coughs in the carriage, and Dye Qing hurriedly asked anxiously: "Mother, second brother, are you sick again?" ”

At this question, the cough became more dense, and it sounded like it was about to cough out all the lungs.

One of the strong men couldn't help but ask, "Is your mother sick?" ”

Pain flashed in Ran Qing's eyes, and he said in a lamented voice: "Alas, it's useless to be a little student, my mother is seriously ill and hasn't been cured yet, no, the second brother is also infected, and I finally hired a carriage, or a thin horse, I can't run fast, and I'm looking to go to the next bigger town to find a good doctor for them." ”

"Huh? Will it be contagious? ”

"Yes, I don't believe you look at my second brother's face, it's getting more and more haggard." After saying this, Dye Qing lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the old mother was still sitting inside, with a sad face, but the young brother was lying there, his face was pale, sometimes he coughed twice, sometimes he coughed repeatedly, and he saw that he had covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

When the handkerchief was removed, it was tucked into the sleeve.

One of the strong men had sharp eyes and whispered to the person next to him: "Brother, I seem to see that person coughing up blood." ”

"Well, I also saw that this person is even worse than us."

"Brother, I might as well forget it."

At this end, Dye Qing listened to their conversation with his ears pricked up, and when he came to the door of the carriage, he shouted in a scorching voice: "Second brother, you have to support it, the eldest brother will take you to find the doctor, mother, you also take your body carefully, don't be too tired." ”

"This little brother, I think you should hurry up and take your mother and brother to the city to see the doctor, this serious illness can't be delayed." The older strong man had concern in his eyes and reminded him.

Dye Qing immediately came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream: "What this eldest brother said is that I am confused, if I delay my younger brother's medical treatment because of my delay, I will really deserve to die." After speaking, he got into the carriage, and before leaving, he hugged his fists again like two strong men and said: "Two big brothers, the younger brother will take the first step." ”

The strong man nodded, and watched the carriage slowly run away.

Suddenly, one of them looked at the ground, "Hey, brother, look at it." ”

There were a few pieces of broken silver lying on the ground, and the two of them came forward to pick them up, put them in their mouths and bit them, and they were soft and real silver.

"Brother, that little brother must have been left behind, should we send it to him?"

The strong man frowned and thought for a while, "We haven't eaten for three days, and if we don't buy some dry food, we may really starve to death, and we will not be able to protect ourselves, so we still don't care about others." ”

The other man touched his stomach, it was indeed empty, his chest was pressed against his back for a long time, and then he looked at the shadow of the carriage in the distance, and he was ruthless, and carefully hid the silver in his sleeve.

The two of them went in opposite directions, and estimated that they would go to the tea shop in front of them to buy a dozen buns first.

After the two strong men walked away, a yew came out from behind the tree, and an evil smile appeared in his eyes, and he touched his chin.

Oh, interesting. Ning Ranqing, no matter what happens to you, can you be so calm and calm?

###

The carriage ran successfully, but the blue face was smiling.

"Xiang'er, your acting skills are really getting better and better, and you have reached the point of perfection."

A coquettish voice immediately came from the carriage: "Young master, you are making fun of me again, if it weren't for your good training, would I be able to act like that?" ”

The curtain was lifted and hung in a corner, and Livzon and Xiang'er were already sitting inside, with smiles on their faces.

With a whip down, Dye Qing swept off the horse's buttocks, and the lean horse sped up and ran forward. This horse, looking lean, but has an excellent foot, has been with them all the way for the past six months, and it can be regarded as inseparable.

"Dye Qing, why do you think that if you let Niang and Xiang'er pretend to be sick, those two thieves will let us go?" Lizhu was a little puzzled, although she knew that her daughter was smart and witty, but she still wanted to hear her explain why.

There was a glint in the shining eyes, and under the sun, it was unusually dazzling.

The corners of his lips pulled into a smile, "Those two people were actually not thieves in the first place, and they were forced by life to embark on this road. I'm sure they didn't be thieves for more than three days, and the robbery lines they used were also from that kind of drama. The main thing is the eyes, there is no ferocity and murder in their eyebrows, the thin horse, the old mother, the sick brother, these all arouse their compassion. ”

Who in the world was born to be robbers, and if she guessed correctly, the war might have affected the common people. The two young men must have not eaten in a few days, so when they let them go, she pretended to drop some pieces of silver on the ground, hoping to help them.

Helping the poor or not helping the poor, the two are young and strong, where can they not find a good errand to do? So she was reluctant to take out too many silver taels on her body at the beginning, and only provided some silver taels to solve their food and clothing.

After walking outside for half a year, news of the war at the Xiliang border came from time to time. The route she made was all the way to the south, and her destination was to the border town on the other side of the South Shao Kingdom, the map had been studied for a long time, and there was a place called Junwang.

Just hearing the name made her want to go there and have a look.

Jun Wang-Jun Wang, I look at you, I look at you, the affection, who to listen to?

It is said that if she wants to stay away from the land of war, she should choose the northland, but the northland is cold, and their Dongyun country is also located in the south of the Yangtze River, half a year, and now it has entered December, the weather is cold, if the three women go to the northland again, I am afraid that they will freeze to death on the side of the road before they get there.

Therefore, Junwang City on this side of the Nanshao Territory has become her final destination. It's not very far from Cangwu City on the border of Xiliang, but it's not close either. This is also why there will be chaotic people along the road because of the war, and the war will suffer the people after all.

Dye Qing planned that at most a month, they would arrive in Junwang, and they would have to arrange accommodation there, and when they were busy, it would be almost the New Year.

It is reported that at the border of Xiliang, I Chao Dongyun ** Shi, under the wise leadership of His Royal Highness Liwang, has won victory after victory, and has won two battles. It is reported that the emperor has issued a commendation order to the border to reward the king and the general Ning Feiyang for meritorious deeds.

These news would only reach this town every few months, and each time the faces of the people would shine with pride, and the heroism of the king would be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Dye Qing smiled lightly and shook the thoughts in her head, and said in her heart that this is human nature, after all, the two people in the rumors have been closely related to her, even if they are not implicated in this life, they still hope that they can be well.

I had been on the road for two hours in a row, and I didn't meet the store all the way, so a few people didn't stop to rest. Seeing a tea shop built with a straw shed in front of him, he stopped to rest his horses and find some forage to feed his majesty.

Majesty is the name she gave to the dark horse, and she gave it a prestige name, so that she felt worthy of this friend who accompanied them for more than half of the year.

There were a few people sitting bustling in the tea shop, and on the big tree next to it, there were a few horses tied to them, presumably passers-by like them. After waiting for Lizhu Niang and Xiang'er to get out of the car, Dye Qing took the lead and walked in the forefront.

An empty table was chosen, and the three of them sat down, and immediately a shopkeeper came to greet them.

I just wanted to take a break, but I didn't plan to eat, so I asked the store to serve a pot of tea and asked if I could buy forage.

The shopkeeper is good-looking, claiming that they have forage in their backyard, so they don't need to buy it, and they will bring it to feed the horses in a while. The tea is barley tea, and when you drink it in your mouth, the wheat fragrance is fragrant, which can be regarded as quenching your thirst, but now that it is winter, the store still sells this kind of cool tea, which is really strange.

While waiting for the shop to pick up the forage, Dye Qing looked around, and was slightly startled when he was looking at the next table, and then turned his gaze away, pretending to look away at random.

After a while, the shopkeeper came over with a basket of hay, and Dye Qing hurriedly got up to take the thanks, and walked to the carriage and placed one part in front of the majesty, and the other part under the carriage. Then he turned around and paid for the tea, thanked the shopkeeper again, and helped himself Livzon, called Xiang'er, and walked to the carriage.

After the carriage traveled for a while, Dye Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Lizhu asked in the car, "Why are you in such a hurry?" We didn't rest for more than a quarter of an hour. ”

Xiang'er was also puzzled: "Yes, young master, usually we have to stop and rest for about half an hour, and we have to rest our feet in majesty." ”

Dye Qing waved a whip before he said, "Have you paid attention to the people at the next table?" ”

"What's the problem?"

"They may be the real bandits."

Xiang'er couldn't help but lift the curtain and poked her head out, "If it's a bandit, can't we use the previous method to fool them?" ”

Dye Qing frowned and shook his head, "It's different." ”

Xiang'er was puzzled.

"Because they have murderous energy in them!"
