Chapter Thirty-Eight: Encounter with Robbers on the Road
Yi Mingxue finally bought this car of fabric at a price of ninety percent.
Along with this shipment, there was also the half-used pallet car.
Yi Mingxue looked at it carefully.
The key positions are all good, and you only need to repaint it when you turn around, and you can use it normally.
When the coachman saw that she was young, he was worried that she would not be able to catch the car.
Especially for this car of goods, in order to save costs, the owner actually far exceeds the normal weight.
This might be a problem if it were someone else. But for Yi Mingxue, it's a piece of cake.
After bidding farewell to the cloth merchants, she went to the market to replenish the supplies.
First of all, I bought some books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone for a few diced radish, which are not available in Fengyun Town.
She planned to send a few big ones to the school after the beginning of spring.
No matter how hard you are, you can't be miserable for your children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education.
Especially this is still a litter of little villains who may turn black at any time.
In addition, the collapsed hall of the house also needs to be repaired.
She had to come out of the next bedroom and let the boys and girls sleep separately.
Oh yes! I also have to build a horse shed for Dongdong.
Yi Mingxue planned all the way, and unconsciously went shopping for an afternoon.
By the time she planned her return, it was already three o'clock in the hour.
And there is a faint wind!
Yi Mingxue hurriedly packed up her things and drove away from Qiyang Town.
It's a pity that the heavens are not beautiful.
Shortly after she left town, it began to rain heavily.
The cloth merchant who had already stayed in the post house couldn't help but be afraid when he saw the heavy rain coming.
"It's a shame that we changed the goods in advance! Otherwise, if it encounters this heavy rain, even if it is not in default, most of the goods will be lost. β
The coachman squatted by the brazier, rubbing his hands in the cold, and said a little worriedly, "I don't know what happened to that girl now!" With such ghost weather, I'm afraid it's not easy to hurry! I thought she had picked up a big bargain, but I didn't expect her to be so unlucky. β
At this moment, Yi Mingxue, who was unlucky, really encountered a problem.
It's not that the truckload of cloth is raining.
As soon as she left Qiyang Town, she found a place where no one was around, and put all the goods into the space.
Then he traveled lightly and easily all the way.
But she did have a bit of bad luck today.
Actually on the way, I encountered a group of mountain bandits robbing the road.
Although the target of the robbery was not her.
At a steep pass, a dozen machete-wielding robbers blocked the way of a wagon.
The carriage looked like a stranger passing by.
After this kind of poor and remote land, not only did he not know how to hide his wealth, but he also hung a deep-sea bead curtain on the carriage, as well as some gilt ornaments.
wrote "Lao Tzu is rich" on his face so clearly, and it is strange not to be robbed by mountain bandits.
Yi Mingxue didn't want to wade into this troubled water, so she secretly hid Dongdong in the dense forest, and she was patient and watched the excitement behind a pile of rocks.
I just hope they can solve the problem quickly, and don't delay her coming home for dinner.
However, this group of bandits was also really strong, and soon subdued the coachman.
The leader also let out a smug laugh, "Mother, my brothers are really lucky today, and they actually ran into a big fat sheep!" β
As he spoke, he lifted the curtain with all his might.
Who knows, it was empty, and even a lump of dirt was seen.
The bandit leader was stunned for a moment, and then let out an angry shout.
"Grass, what about people? What about things? β
The other robbers were also at a loss, "Why is such a luxurious carriage empty?" β
The coachman is just taking money to run errands, and he is still a temporary quick job, where do you know.
The robbers threw themselves into the air, angry and slashed at the carriage.
Yi Mingxue saw that it was a pain in the flesh.
"Tut-tut, this car looks very valuable, it's a pity!" Yi Mingxue couldn't help but shake her head and complain.
"Indeedβ"
Suddenly, the voice of a strange young man came from behind her.
Yi Mingxue was shocked, turned around suddenly, and at the same time picked up a punch and attacked.
was dodged by the man's scrambling hands.
It was a man in Tsing Yi who spoke.
He was ordinary-looking and ordinary-dressed.
But quietly appeared behind Yi Mingxue, and she hadn't noticed it yet, and it was obviously not ordinary at all.
"Who are you?" Yi Mingxue lowered her voice and asked vigilantly.
The man pointed to the carriage that had been smashed to pieces by the robbers, and was shocked.
"Originally, I was paying them to escort this carriage, but who knew that I met robbers halfway! Good thing I slipped away fast enough. β
Yi Mingxue's face was suspicious.
"Then you hide somewhere else, don't leave here and expose my whereabouts."
Who knows, the man turned out to be like a dog skin plaster, and he got closer.
"I don't! The place you chose is hidden. And you have a lot of strength when you look at it, and if you really find out, I can also help more than one person. β
"......" Yi Mingxue was speechless.
Or how can I say that Yi Mingxue is unlucky today.
The man was simply a crow's mouth, and as soon as he finished speaking, he actually made two robbers discover them.
Yi Mingxue just wanted to make a move, but the other party had already turned his head and shouted:
"Come on! There are two more hidden here! β
A group of mountain bandits were worried that they couldn't find a place to vent, and when they heard the news, they immediately swarmed around.
Seeing this, the young man shamelessly hid behind Yi Mingxue.
Then he shouted, "You are looking for her, and the money is all on her!" β
βοΌοΌοΌβ Yi Mingxue is extremely angry.
I can't wait to slap the man into the stone wall.
She didn't want to cause trouble, so she had to raise her hands and explain, "Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense! I'm just a passerby, my family lives in Fengyun Town, if there are fellow villagers, maybe we still know each other. β
A group of mountain bandits looked at her fiercely, and no one spoke.
The leader looked her up and down twice, and was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, at this time, two familiar faces really came out of the crowd.
One had both ears mutilated and the other had a crooked right leg.
When the two saw Yi Mingxue, they were as excited as if they had met the enemy who killed their father.
The hands pointing at her were trembling, and the eyes were soaked with blood and tears.
"It's you! It's you! β
"Boss, that's her! It was she who cut off my ears and broke my brother's legs! β
Yi Mingxue stared at the two of them for a long time, and finally reacted, so she suddenly realized:
"It's you! Aren't you from the Seasand Gang? How did you change your route to become a mountain bandit? β
These two people are none other than the two traffickers who almost wiped out a few diced radishes in her family on the day she traveled.
Speaking of which, the two robbers were angry.
They did belong to the Shahai Gang, but after being disabled by Yi Mingxue, they could still get mixed up in the big gang.
Especially in this troubled and desolate year, they don't know anything but robbery.
In the end, he had to go up the mountain and become a bandit.
"Have you had enough pleasantries?" The leader swung his steel knife and instantly split a stone in half.
"Lao Tzu, it doesn't matter if you were affectionate or resentful before! β¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦ What about money? Hand over the money to Lao Tzu immediately! β
