Chapter 985: Met the Real
"Help, help me! Someone is going to kill me, help! ”
The woman's whole body was messy, and it could be seen that she was originally wearing good materials and her family background was not bad, but now her hair was messy and her clothes were ragged, and she was very embarrassed.
Lu Baichuan, Qin Jian and the others were about to leave, but when they saw this, they could only stop and watch the woman run in front of them and fall next to the horse.
She gasped and cried out, "Ask two good Samaritans to save the little girl and her family!" The little woman has kowtowed to you, please! ”
As long as he is a normal person, he will not stand idly by when he sees this kind of scene, especially Lu Baichuan and others are still officials of the imperial court, and it is within their duty to redress the grievances of the people.
Hearing this, Qin Jian asked, "Tell me clearly, what happened?" ”
"There are bandits in the mountains in front and in front, and the little woman's family and servants are still on it, and I came down to ask for help!"
The woman cried very miserably, the family desperately stopped the bandits, asked her to run quickly, she was frightened and scared, she ran for a long time and saw no one, almost desperate, but at this time I saw Lu Baichuan and his party.
"Please, save my family! I beg you to be a cow and a horse. ”
This girl is also a loving and righteous person, and she did not leave her family behind, but really asked for help all the way.
Hearing this, Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian glanced at each other, is there really a bandit in this area?
It's strange, so why didn't the local officials report it?
They chose this place because it was relatively remote, and no one usually noticed, and no one would have any impression when they suddenly talked about it, but they didn't expect to meet the real one.
"You lead the way in front and go see."
The road on the mountain was not easy to ride, so they tied their horses to the forest and followed the girl up the mountain.
The girl knelt down and kowtowed to them in thanksgiving, and then hurried ahead to lead the way.
She was a little nervous, always worried that she would not be able to remember the way, and it would be bad if she got lost in the mountains.
Fortunately, this mountain road is not too difficult to walk, and she has not detoured any roads when she came, and she can remember it clearly.
She was tired and her legs were shaking, but she didn't dare to slow down half a minute, her speed was at stake for her family's lives.
Everyone also saw that she was in a hurry, and the speed under her feet increased a few points.
"Right ahead!"
The woman pointed not far away, her tone was very excited, she felt that her whole body was full of energy, and she ran there with all her strength, and she was close, but there was no one in sight, but there was a strong smell of blood.
"Daddy! Eldest brother! ”
She saw a bunch of people lying not far away, who were her family's servants and relatives, among them, her sister-in-law and other maids were missing, and she knew that they must have been captured by those thieves.
The woman was so sad that she fainted in an instant.
This time, Lu Baichuan didn't bring many people here, let alone female guards, they were all a group of old men, so it was really inconvenient to check the situation.
Lu Baichuan could only command the two guards who had not yet married to go over to take a look, while he and Qin Jian and the others checked around.
There was no one around, and apparently the bandits had gone back after the robbery.
However, why did they let go of this woman, could it be that they just wanted to attract more people with this woman?
But even so, those people didn't stay around here, he checked, and there was really no one nearby.
Soon, the woman woke up, crawled in front of Lu Baichuan, and cried and said, "My lord, please help me save my sister-in-law and the maid at home, they are all poor women......
As she spoke, the woman was sad, and she was about to faint again.
Among the corpses on the ground, there were not only adults, but also her three or four-year-old nephews and nieces!
Those thieves who kill a thousand knives don't even spare children.
"Don't worry, girl, we will deal with this matter."
Lu Baichuan looked businesslike, turned around and went out to check again.
They were originally here to suppress bandits, and it would be good if they could benefit the people by the way.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Lu Baichuan felt very uncomfortable, when the clansmen fled, it was even worse than now.
"Do you know where those bandits are?"
Qin Jian turned back and wanted to inquire about the specific situation.
"I don't know ......"
The woman cried and shook her head, "Our family is planning to find a place to live in a paradise, and the family moved over, but I didn't expect this disaster on the road, woo woo woo woo ......"
Now people with money and background like to find a place where no one disturbs them to live the life they like, there is nothing to doubt about this, Qin Jian sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, the girl mourns." ”
"A few of you will take this girl down the mountain first, go to the city to settle down, and Bai Chuan and I will go to find the bandits' dens and see if we can serve them a pot."
Qin Jian feels that without figuring out the other party's situation, the fewer people the better, and he and Lu Baichuan have been partners for many years, so they are more familiar with each other's meanings, and one look can effectively communicate and improve efficiency.
Lu Baichuan also thought so, but the woman was a little hesitant, she had just been frightened by the bandits, and she didn't dare to trust others.
"I ...... Can I follow the adults? I've been used as bait! ”
She tried hard to make herself look worthy, but apparently Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian didn't think so.
"No, I don't."
They refused very simply, they just went to investigate the situation, and they did not get to the point where they needed the weak as bait.
The woman was very disappointed, and said, "I, I want to collect the bodies of my parents......"
Lu Baichuan nodded, he has no opinion, as a child, this is all as it should be.
Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian left, and the others stayed behind to help the woman dig a pit and bury the body together.
Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian walked up the mountain, but it was a coincidence, it was a meal at this time, and they saw cooking smoke on the mountain not far away, which should be cooking.
Qin Jian licked his somewhat dry lips and said, "It's good, let's go and catch up with a meal now." ”
Lu Baichuan glanced at him faintly, and suddenly regretted bringing him along.
How do you feel that after this product became a family, it became more and more unreliable?
Qin Jian didn't think there was anything, he learned this from his younger brothers and sisters, and only when he was full did he have the strength to work!
Lu Baichuan didn't say more, and continued to walk forward, the woods in the old forest in the deep mountains were already dense, and it was impossible to walk on horseback, but fortunately, the two of them were both good at light work, and it didn't take much effort.
When he arrived at the next mountain, Lu Baichuan went up a big tree, took out the clairvoyance given by his daughter-in-law and looked at the place where the smoke was rising.
It's indeed a den of thieves, and it looks relatively new, so it should have just been entrenched.
But it shouldn't be, the bandits who have just been entrenched for a short time are generally not strong, and they don't dare to be so rampant at all, this group of people dares to blatantly kill people, and they dare to go out to find people alive, obviously not as simple as they think.
