Chen Ran and the women came down from the mountain and saw Zheng Dangtou and the three guys waiting on the side of the mountain road, and did not leave.

Next to the mountain road, the carriage was still parked there, and the bodies of the man and child who had been killed by Zhang Long had been removed. The surviving woman is gone.

Zheng Dart squatted on the ground, smoking a dry cigarette, frowning, he was thinking about where the Shaodong family's magic skills came from, when he suddenly heard movement in the forest, and immediately stood up.

The next moment, he saw Chen Ran emerge from the forest with a big burden on his back, followed by a woman.

"Young owner, are you okay?" Zheng Dangtou hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"It's okay, Qinglong Village has disappeared from this world from now on." Chen Ran unloaded his burden and said with a relaxed expression.

"Then you left these women behind..."Zheng Dart looked at the young young owner, and his heart jumped suddenly, the Changlin Dart Bureau could not afford to support so many young ladies.

"Uncle Zheng, you're really dirty." Chen Ran immediately denied Zheng Dart's cranky thoughts.

Zheng Dangtou looked at Chen Ran's bulging baggage, and was about to ask, when he suddenly understood something in his heart. There was a strange look of excitement in his eyes.

Chen Ran groped for a while in his baggage, took out a few silver ingots, and distributed them to the women behind him.

"One by one, you should hurry home." Chen Ran said to the women.

Those women didn't expect this silver, but when they saw that Chen Ran was willing to share the profits for themselves, their hearts were immediately overjoyed.

Many of them were the daughters of poor families near Zuo, where could they see so much silver, they knelt down and gave salutes, thanked Chen Ran for their kindness, and then took the silver and left in twos and threes.

After sending these women away, Chen Ran asked Zheng Dart, "What about the woman who survived before?" ”

"She went to the depths of the jungle to bury her husband and son." Zheng Dangtou's gaze at this moment was completely attracted by the yellow and white things in the baggage: "How much silver do you get for such a big lump?" ”

"There are still a lot of gold bumps in it, let alone 10,000 taels." Chen Ran said softly.

"Show me." Zheng Dart's face was shocked, and even his voice changed tone.

Chen Ran waved his hand: "The wealth is not exposed, I will wrap the gold in the innermost." ”

Zheng Dangtou forced himself to calm down, and said with some worry: "We still have to go to Kaifeng Mansion to walk darts, so much gold and silver, there is no way to take it on the road." ”

"So we're going to split up." Chen Ran had already thought about it and said, "I'll go back to Luoyang with the gold and silver, and you will finish the dart." ”

Zheng Dart immediately nodded and said, "That's how it should be." Anyway, I've been on a dart ride by myself, and I've had old friends along the way. It's just that the young owner, you must be careful on the way home! ”

Chen Ran nodded silently, thinking that in the hearts of the elders, no matter how strong the younger generation is, they are not at ease.

Zheng Ran tugged at Chen Ran's sleeve and kept telling him a thousand times, telling him not to cause trouble on the way back, and sending the gold and silver home was the top priority.

only said that Chen Ran was impatient, and waved his hand again and again, asking him to hurry up. Promising that when he returns, he will have some share of his profits, and this is not a problem.

Zheng Darttou gave up at this time, glanced at the burden reluctantly, and shouted to the three guys to continue on their way.

When the team restarted, the woods fell silent again. All that was left was a carriage, a pool of blood and a teenager with a burden on his back.

It is about a hundred miles from Luoyang City on Qinglong Mountain Road, although it is not too far, but it is still a little unbearable to carry a few hundred catties of things all the way over.

It's better to go to Gongcheng, the nearest city, and buy a carriage first.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran picked up his burden and turned around and walked in the direction of Gongcheng.

After walking for about an hour, Chen Ran finally walked out of Qinglong Mountain and entered an official road.

At this time, it is noon, the sun is high in the sky, and although it is early spring, you can still feel the heat.

Chen Ran was wiping his sweat while walking on the road, and a carriage galloped past behind him and stopped in front of Chen Ran.

I saw a woman jump out of the car and salute Chen Ran: "Engong, please get in the carriage, I'll take Engong for a ride." ”

Chen Ran saw that the woman was the surviving woman who was holding the child and crying on the mountain road before.

Unexpectedly, she buried the man and the child, and drove the carriage out of the mountains.

Chen Ran habitually looked at this woman, and saw that she looked very young, with fair skin, delicate posture, and beautiful face, but she was quite beautiful.

And at this time, she had just cried, her eyes were slightly red, and the tears were still there, and she looked like pear blossoms with rain, which made her even more beautiful.

Chen Ran immediately thanked him and got into the car, it was better to be respectful than to obey his fate. It's not because of the woman's beauty, it's really because it's too hot, and I'm a little tired from walking.

The carriage started again, Chen Ran sat aside, and found that the woman next to him was quite skillful in driving, not like a deep housewife.

"Have you already buried your husband and children?" Chen Ran asked casually.

The woman shook her head lightly and said, "I'm just their handmaiden." ”

Chen Ran was stunned for a moment and said, "You cry so sadly, the master must be very good to you." ”

The woman's face showed Qi again, and she choked up: "The master is a gentleman, and he has always treated me very well." I raised that kid since I was a child, and he was very smart, but unfortunately he was too thin. ”

"Oh . . . Such. After the simple politeness, Chen Ran thought to himself that this was indeed the case, judging from the driving, this woman was not a pampered person.

"Then do you want to go back to your master's house next?" Chen Ran asked casually.

The woman shook her head and said gloomily: "The master mother died early, and now the master and the little master have also passed away, and the master's family will be taken back by their own family, and I will be sold when I go back." ”

"Then you can go back to your own house." Chen Ran suggested.

But the woman shook her head again and said, "I don't have a home." My parents have long since died. ”

"Are there any siblings?"

"There was an older brother who fell into the river and drowned while working as a porter at the docks."

"Are there any relatives then?"

"Five years ago, my aunt's family died in bandits' raiding the village."

"Oh... Do you have any relatives in your mother's family? ”

"Three years ago, my uncle's family died of the plague, and my aunt was left alone to remarry......"

When Chen Ran heard these answers, he was stunned for a long time, and finally chose to shut up and stop asking.

The speed of the carriage was steady and fast, and it soon reached the outside of Gongcheng.

Since the destination had arrived, Chen Ran stopped the carriage, took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms and said to the woman: "This is the fare." ”

He saw that this woman was crying so sadly for her master, and that she had experienced it so badly, so he acted very generously.

The woman did not take the money, but wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, jumped down from the carriage, knelt on the ground, and said, "This carriage belongs to the master, not to the slave." Besides, Engong saved the slave's life, how dare the slave and maid ask for Engong's money. ”

Seeing this woman kneeling in front of him, and people coming and going, Chen Ran suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp, he quickly pulled the woman up, took out two more ingots of silver from his arms, a total of thirty taels of silver and stuffed them into her hand, and said: "Let's be separated, these silver are just to find a life for you." ”

But seeing the woman's tearful eyes, she looked directly at Chen Ran, and said with a firm expression: "The slave has no way out at the moment, since Engong saved my life, I will follow Engong, and I will go wherever Engong goes." ”

Chen Ran shook his head and said, "I'm a dart walker, and I live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife, and I can't take care of you." ”

With that, he turned around and walked towards Gongcheng.

The woman was very stubborn, leading the horse with one hand, silently following behind Chen Ran.

Chen Ran listened to the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and sighed in his heart, he walked the rivers and lakes, it was impossible to take a servant girl with him, there was no need, and now was not the time to start a family.

Carrying this woman with him is of no use except for adding a weakness to himself.

Of course, there is also a benefit, when walking the rivers and lakes, it may add a little comfort in the lonely night.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran's mind was settled, and he secretly used his internal strength, and he disappeared in front of the woman's eyes with a rush.

On the official road, only the woman was left standing beside the carriage at a loss, and the lonely figure looked very lonely.
