"It's nothing, it's just a little curious."

Yu Mian responded casually, but was still a little absent-minded.

She had to come out with Li Huaize today, indeed because she thought of something.

According to the setting in the book, when the wind and sand came, there was a riot in the quarry, and the heroine Gu Yao and her family served hard labor in the quarry here.

Because of the riot, Gu Yao saw the opportunity to escape, and after some planning and lobbying by her, she took advantage of the chaos to escape under the cover of her family.

At that time, due to the wind and sand and riots, many people died in the quarry, and I heard that there was a landslide later, and many people were missing, and there were no bones.

Therefore, the heroine Gu Yao was able to escape, but she was not pursued by the servants.

Li Huaize saw a somewhat tangled look on Yu Mian's face, and knew that she didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask.

As we got closer to the quarry, the sand began to wreak havoc again.

Li Huaize coughed, reached out and pulled the clothes at the neckline, his lips were a little pale.

Yu Mian took out a medicine bottle from his arms, then stuffed it into Li Huaice's hand, and said lightly: "I feel that the cold and heat are rushing, and when I am exhausted, I will eat one, don't swallow it, and hold it in my mouth." ”

Li Wice glanced at the medicine bottle in his hand through the goggles, and then poured out a small black pill, he put the pill in his mouth, and the familiar bitter taste of medicinal herbs welled up in his mouth.

It tastes almost the same as the decoction I drank last night.

Li Huaize pursed his lips and said lightly, "Thank you." ”

"No, just take care of your body."

The two stopped talking, Li Huaize's face softened slightly, and the two tacitly quickened their pace.

Near the quarry, the yellow sand is all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and it is almost impossible to see the road ahead.

But the whistling wind, mixed with a few terrible screams, could be faintly heard smashing, cries and begs for mercy, intertwined, and the scene was chaotic.

Li Huaice's face was anxious, and he immediately grabbed Yu Mian's wrist and protected her behind him.

"Something is wrong." Li Huaice said.

Yu Mian looked at his back, and the corners of his lips tugged at in the room.

With his current physical fitness, he still wants to protect her?

It's a bit self-defeating.

Yu Mian brushed Li Huaice's hand away, walked straight forward, and said lightly: "Let's go quickly, it's important to find Dabao." ”

"You!"

Li Wice hurriedly followed, "Be careful!" Follow me, and I'll protect you. ”

Yu Mian glanced back at him, revealing a slightly contemptuous evil smile.

Li Huaize seemed to feel something, and then added: "Even if there is only one breath left, I will protect you, lady." ”

“……”

Yu Mian scratched the corners of his eyes, turned his face away and said, "Okay, let's go quickly." ”

The closer you get to the quarry, the more disturbing you hear.

Li Huaize held Yu Mian's hand and said in a low voice, "Follow me." ”

Yu Mian's eyes were suspicious, and before he could ask, he was pulled to the side by Li Huaice.

Supposedly, he should be more familiar with the road to the quarry than she is.

Now that he already knew that something bad was happening in the quarry, with Li Huaice's cleverness, he naturally knew how to avoid dangerous places.

So Yu Mian stopped talking, and followed Li Huaice's footsteps step by step.

They followed the slope of the steep slope and slid down the yellow sand, and came to a large rock that was uneven.

Through the goggles, they were able to easily observe the situation on the other side.

I saw the exiled prisoners in tattered clothes, lying on the ground with their heads in their hands, their faces flustered, full of panic and fear.

And in front of them, there kept walking by a sturdy man with a black scarf on his face and a big knife in his hand.

There were even people dressed as servants who were kicked to the ground by these men in black scarves, and some of them would lift their feet and run them over their faces.

The officers let out a terrible scream, so frightened that the exiled prisoners next to them couldn't help but pee their pants.

Seeing this scene, those men in black scarves laughed one by one, as if they had seen some novel picture, proud and excited.

Dare to beat the garrison here like this, what is the origin of these black and gold men?

Probably seeing Yu Mian's doubts, Li Huaize next to him took the initiative to explain:

"It's a bandit."

"Mountain bandits?"

Yu Mian was a little surprised: "These mountain bandits are so rampant, they dare to beat the people of the official family?" ”

"Jinling is 108,000 miles away from here, even if it is played overnight, and the news goes to Jinling, it will be two or three months later, who cares?"

Li Huaice's face was cold, and his tone was sarcastic.

Yu Mian glanced at him sharply.

Li Huaice asked rhetorically: "Am I not right?" ”

"Makes sense." Yu Mian agreed.

Li Huaize continued: "There are many bandits here, you and I are lonely, I'm afraid that we won't be able to show up easily, Brother Meng and Jingping are helping outside the quarry, maybe they are not trapped inside, should we go outside to find it first?" ”

"Wait and see what happens."

Yu Mian remembers that there was a vague mention in the book that before the wind and sand came, the quarry had dug up traces similar to gold mines.

The battalion has been reported to the general of the Dongping battalion who is stationed here, and soon a garrison will take over the defense.

The matter of the gold mine is not trivial, even if the yellow sand is now full of people to swallow people, the generals of the Dongping camp will definitely arrive in the fastest time.

Therefore, before this evening comes, you will see the Dongping camp army!

They just have to sit back and relax.

These bandits probably also heard the rumors of the gold mine and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get some oil and water.

There is no plot introduction in the book where the mountain bandits deliberately hurt people.

It is only said that later the camp guards and the servants clashed with the mountain bandits, which led to a riot, so that these prisoners passively joined the battle.

The matter of the collapse was also brushed aside, and the specific number of casualties was not said.

Later, the Dongping army arrived here and quelled the riot, and the matter was over.

After all, these things are just to arrange a reasonable scenario for the heroine to get out.

Now they don't need to worry too much.

Seeing Yu Mian's calm appearance, Li Huaice's heart also calmed down a little.

Yu Mian suddenly tugged at Li Huaice's cuffs and said in a low voice, "Is that Meng Chun?" ”

Li Wice hurriedly glanced at it, and sure enough, it was Meng Chun!

He was mixed in with a group of exiled prisoners, because the prisoners were wearing uniform prison uniforms, so although the yellow sand blocked the view, among so many people, it was Meng Chun's figure that was the most conspicuous.

But then Yu Mian said again: "Dabao is not with him!" ”

Li Huaice's heart twitched, and then said: "Lady, you are waiting for me here, I'll go in and ask Meng Chun." ”

"Don't be impulsive!"

Yu Mian grabbed Li Huaice's hand and said busily: "There are mountain bandits with knives everywhere here, although you are thin, but after all, you are tall and a man, if they find out, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat!" ”

"Jingping is alone, there will definitely be danger."

"I know, I understand."

Yu Mian's eyes turned, and he lowered his head and pulled Li Huaice to the side, "You come with me, I have a way!" ”
