Chapter Forty-Six: Three Mile Canyon (I)

When Yan Yin woke up comfortably from her deep sleep, Fang Xue and Lin Qing'er were talking about something around the old woman.

"What are you talking about," Yan Yin asked.

Lin Qing'er looked at Yan Yin and said, "Wake up, are you hungry?"

Shaking her head, Yan Yin had already eaten a lot yesterday, and she was not so hungry so fast "Don't be hungry, we can almost go"

Fang Xue nodded, took a black box from the old woman's hand, and after thanking the old woman, she walked out of the house with Lin Qing'er.

Yan Yin took out a bag from the trouser belt, handed it to the old woman who sent them to the door, and said, "Mother-in-law, you are so old, it is not easy to live alone, here is some money, buy you something delicious"

"It's... How can this be" The old woman waved her hand vigorously and said, "You have this heart, mother-in-law, I am very happy, you are a boy, and you have two female dolls, you will inevitably use some money on the road, so keep it yourself!"

Smiling slightly, Yan Yin said in her heart that this mother-in-law was very thoughtful, but she still couldn't help but hand the bag full of silver to the old woman, "Mother-in-law, you can take it! We are not short of money, and I like to help people, mother-in-law, you live alone, these silver can give you a little help." Okay, mother-in-law, don't say anything, I'm leaving."

Stuffing the silver to the old woman, Yan Yin strode to the carriage, sat in the carriage, looked at the old woman standing at the door, and waved her hand, "Mother-in-law, there will be a period later, take care of your body."

With a whip of the horse, with the wave of the old woman's hand, Yan Yin drove the carriage to carry Fang Xue and Lin Qing'er and set off again.

In the carriage, Fang Xue took out the black box that the old woman gave her, and saw that it contained some needles and threads.

"Sister Fang Xue, do you want a needle and thread, is it just to sew this?" Lin Qing'er approached Fang Xue's ears, pointed to the black bear fur neatly stacked under their soft buttocks in the carriage, and said softly, "This should have been made by Fang Yin last night, and it is very comfortable to sit on it."

Fang Xue said softly, "He was very thoughtful and used us as cushions." But I think he is sitting on the hard seat of the carriage, and he must be very uncomfortable. So, I wanted to mend it and make a cushion for him as well. It just so happens that the black bear's fur is big enough, hehe......"

After listening to Fang Xue's words, Lin Qing'er sighed softly, "Although Sister Fang Xue looks as cold as frost, she is indeed so kind and careful in her heart, some people are blessed!"

Knowing that Lin Qing'er meant something, Fang Xue smiled lightly and said nothing else.

"Drive!" Yan Yin outside the car shouted, the horse neighed, and the speed of the carriage increased again, with billowing smoke and dust, and disappeared.

After walking for about half a day, Fang Xue suddenly said "Fang Yin, you stop"

Yan Yin hurriedly pulled the reins, jumped out of the carriage after the carriage stopped, pulled the curtain and looked at Fang Xuelin Qing'er inside, and said, "Xue'er, is there something wrong?"

Fang Xue smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, give you something," she said, and took out a cushion made of boxy black bear fur from behind her, "This is what I did at random, when you will catch the car, just sit on it, it will be more comfortable"

Taking the black bear fur cushion sewn by Fang Xue herself, Yan Yin nodded seriously, "Thank you! Xue'er, you are so good."

A hint of blush appeared on Fang Xue's face, "I will talk nonsense" After speaking, he turned his face to look to the side. However, her cold and beautiful face revealed joy that could not be hidden.

"Hehe" Yan Yin smiled, lowered the curtain, put the black bear cushion on the sitting place, and sat under the buttocks, Yan Yin felt very comfortable, raised the horsewhip, Yan Yin snorted lightly, and walked forward again.

Along the way, there began to be many forks in the road, in all directions. However, after asking some people on the way, according to Fang Xue's guidance, the carriage did not go in the wrong direction.

After traveling for several hours, when it was nightfall, the carriage came to a place with a tree-lined road, Yan Yin looked around, and found that several carriages were parked here, stopped the car, pulled the curtain, Yan Yin looked at the two people inside and said, "You just wait in the car, I'll ask"

"Well, pay attention to yourself" Fang Xue hugged Lin Qing'er, who was already asleep, and said softly to Yan Yin.

Nodding, Yan Yin held the horsewhip in her hand and walked to the place where she listened to several carriages.

There, a group of people were talking around a campfire, and there was a hint of laughter from time to time.

"This young man, I don't know what's going on?" At this time, from behind a carriage, a very refined man walked out and looked at Yan Yin and asked.

"Oh, that's right, I want to ask, where is this, and, I don't know if there is a place to rest ahead" Yan Yin said politely, "Please also ask the eldest brother to give me advice"

The man glanced at Yan Yin, and said in a deep voice, "This is a ten-mile boulevard, and there is a three-mile canyon more than ten miles ahead, and after passing through the canyon, it will be Donghai City for more than ten days." There's no resting place around here, and if there were, we wouldn't be staying here. However, there were several nests of robbers in the three-mile gorge, who often robbed the money and goods of passing merchants."

"Robber?" Yan Yin was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Thank you, big brother, I came out with my friend this time, and I am going to go to Donghai City, because it is the first time to come out, so some places are not very familiar, hehe"

The man nodded, looked at Yan Yin, and then at Yan Yin's carriage that stopped not far away, and said, "I don't think you have much preparation, so let's do it! If you don't mind, you can call your companion over, and we will eat something together around the campfire." It's also appropriate to take care of each other when we are outside."

"Uh-huh, thank you, big brother" Yan Yin said happily, "My name is Fang Yin, and in the car are my sister and friends, they are afraid of life, so they don't like to show up." ”

The man nodded and said, "In that case, then give them some of your food later!" My name is Yang Er, these people are all my subordinates, and we are a small transport convoy, specializing in transporting some goods for some caravans."

Yan Yin looked at Yang Er's carriage, and sure enough, there were some medicinal herbs or furs and other things on it.

"Thank you, Brother Yang, then I'll go and talk to my sisters first" Yan Yin arched her hand to Yang Er, hurriedly returned to the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at Fang Xuedao, "In front of you is a caravan transport convoy, led by a person named Yang Er. I've already told him, and he said he could let me go over and get some food, and he allowed me to bring you something by the way. ”

"It's really good to be like this," Lin Qing'er, who didn't know when she woke up, said, "I was already feeling a little hungry, and it just happened that someone helped us, which was really good." Saying that, Lin Qing'er whispered, "Fang Yin, can you help me ask them for some hot water, I have some discomfort in my stomach and want to drink some hot water."

Looking at Lin Qing'er's lovely face, Yan Yin nodded and said, "Okay."

After a while, Yan Yin, who had left, brought some food and a cup of hot water into the carriage, and said, "This is what I asked for from Second Brother Yang, he is a good person, I heard that you want to drink hot water, so I found a kettle and a porcelain cup from the goods and boiled some water for me."

"Thank him for me" Lin Qing'er took the cup in Yan Yin's hand and said softly.

Back at Yang Er's campfire, Yan Yin sat aside and talked to Yang Er, "You said there is a canyon ahead, and there is a group of robbers in the canyon, right?"

Nodding, Yang Er said, "That's true, but this is not an ordinary group of robbers. If it is an ordinary bandit, we are not afraid. However, it was a group of very fierce bandits, all of them had the strength of innate martial artists, and there were two leaders among them, even at the level of military generals" He said, glanced at Yan Yin and said, "Although you are young, you seem to have good strength, in the realm of innate martial artists." You can have such cultivation at such an age, it can be regarded as one in ten thousand."

Yan Yin smiled and said, "Where! Compared with Second Brother Yang, I am still far behind."

Yang Er took a sip of the liquor at hand and smiled, "I won't hide it from you, I have been a military general for several years, but I am stuck at this level and have never improved." In our team, everyone is at the peak of innate martial artists, but I am the only one who has reached the level of a martial general. It is precisely because of this that we are very careful when walking this part of the road. Because of the difference in strength, compared to those bandits, we people are not enough to see" said, holding a wine bag full of spirits, and said, "Come on?"

Yan Yin smiled and said, "Okay"

In his memory, his father was also a man who was very fond of alcohol. After every practice, I will drink a little bit when I eat.

Taking the wine bag in Yang's second-hand, Yan Yin first took a sip, only to feel that the tip of her tongue was slightly spicy. Then he poured a few sips and said loudly, "Yes, although it is a little spicy and spicy, it is very comfortable"

"Haha......" Yang Er laughed and said, "Junior Brother Fang, when it comes to wine, my wine is not good, but it is not bad, it has an extremely nice name - Fire Spirits"

In Yan Yin's puzzled gaze, Yang Er said, "This fire spirit, the more you drink, the hotter your body will feel." Those of us who transport goods all year round will inevitably be boring when we walk a lot. Drinking some of this fiery liquor, and then practicing with the strength of the wine, is also very enjoyable."

Nodding, Yan Yin took a few more sips and said, "Second Brother Yang, it's the first time I've drunk alcohol, but this wine is really good, if you don't dislike it, can you sell some of your younger brother when you leave?"

Laughing, Yang Erdao said, "If you want to talk about what to sell or not, if you want it, I can send you a few jars."

"Thank you, thank you," Yan Yin smiled happily.

Historically, between men, wine is the best thing to blindly bring people closer.

After drinking, Yan Yin was also a little drunk, looked at Yang Er, and couldn't help asking, "Second Brother Yang, since there are bandits in the three-mile canyon ahead, aren't you afraid?"

Yang Er sighed and said, "I'm afraid, why don't you be afraid!" One year, we were also a group of people passing by there, but the gang of bandits suddenly rushed out, killed and plundered us, and robbed all the goods transported, and several of them were killed by them" stomped his fist fiercely, and Yang Er's face showed resentment, "If it weren't for the fact that we all have families and need to support our families, how could we do this kind of desperate business." Fortunately, the proprietor was a good man, and when he knew that we had encountered bandits, he did not ask us for compensation, but instead sent us some money to take care of the wounded brothers."

Glancing at the man who was shouting loudly not far away, eating meat and drinking a lot, Yang Er drank the remaining wine in the wine bag, "This time, because we are going to Donghai City, we must take this road, we also have to fight for luck, I hope those people will not come out"

Yan Yin's eyes flashed and said, "Second Brother Yang, why doesn't the government take care of it?"

"Official?" Yang Er shook his head and said, "What's the use of it, you come and I go, you go and I come again, it's useless! Glancing cautiously around, Yang Er had drunk too much wine, so he poured out a lot of words in his heart, "Junior Brother Fang, you don't know, this southern Xinjiang looks safe, but there is danger hidden inside. The lieutenant generals and monarchs of the empire have always wanted to transfer General Nangong Jian out of Southern Xinjiang and then eradicate General Nangong. But because of General Nangong's strength and some things in the northern Xinjiang, he never started. I guess, it won't be long before this empire will undergo great changes" After another sip of wine, Yang Er continued to say to Yan Yin, "I only hope that this southern Xinjiang will not be like the northern Xinjiang in the past, and in the end, all the soldiers will unload their armor and return to the field, so that strange beasts will grow"

Shocked, Yan Yin exclaimed, "Second Brother Yang, you just said that the soldiers in Northern Xinjiang unloaded their armor and returned to the field, what is the matter?"
