Chapter 233: The Outcast
Ye Shu'er covered the mouth and nose of the unconscious people with a handkerchief, and made them wake up in this way.
She looked at Xue Zhi'an not far away with a knife against the thief's neck, and became more and more anxious, but fortunately, the big brother finally woke up.
Ye Shu'er put down the handkerchief in her hand, "Brother Liu, you were hit by ***, you fainted just now, and a thief mixed into our territory, and now I am facing off against that thief!"
Liu Sandao wiped his face with his hand, and finally came to his senses.
"Boy, you think this will scare me?"
Xue Zhi'an really didn't mean to kill, he relied on his height and strength to bluff, but he was just delaying time.
Soon he took out a short blade from his boot and stabbed at Xue Zhi'an. Xue Zhi dodged back in embarrassment, the blade slashed through his chest, and a hole was cut in his chest.
Xue Zhizhi blocked the knife in front of his chest, and finally resisted the blow, and the broken blade grazed the knife, and sparks sparked with a loud sound.
"Your life is short, today is your death!"
He kicked Xue Zhi'an's leg, picked up the broken blade in his hand and rushed over again.
"Little thief, where to run!"
At the last moment, Liu Sandao threw the big knife in his hand with full strength.
The big knife directly *** the thief's back, the person fell to the ground in an instant, and there was a straight big knife stuck in his back, and the cold light was refracted in Xue Zhi'an's eyes.
"Brother, are you safe and sound?"
Seeing that Xue Zhi'an's face was pale, and he was still holding a knife in his hand, he hadn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Thank you, Brother Liu, for saving me."
The lying people on the ground quickly swallowed their breath, this kind of outlaw naturally can't stay alive, and he must not feel pity when he walks the rivers and lakes.
"You are a powerless scholar, I can't imagine that you are so kind!"
Xue Zhi'an breathed a sigh of relief, his back was already soaked, and his clothes were sticking to his back. The greasy touch is very uncomfortable.
"It's false, if you don't make a move, I'm afraid I'll have to explain it here."
Ye Shu'er pounced on Xue Zhi'an, hugging his lean waist tightly, tears trickling down.
"Do you know that I was almost ...... just now? I'm scared to death."
She couldn't help but be scared when she thought back to the scene just now.
Xue Zhian hugged her and comforted her that she was fine.
The caravan woke up a quarter of an hour later, and the guard was killed.
Du Yuanbao was so frightened that he didn't dare to sleep, hugged himself tightly with both hands, and sobbed quietly, "He died for me."
The eldest brother of the guard died like this, what should his family do?
Du Yuanbao was hit like never before, he was so useless, he knew that he was crying when he encountered something, and he couldn't do anything.
Ye Shu'er was also frightened, but Xue Zhi'an was very calm, Ye Shu'er was a little surprised, the man who could only cry and be stupid was now able to take charge on his own.
My heart suddenly had mixed feelings, no one will remain the same, everyone will grow, and Xue Zhi'an is no exception.
The caravan men buried the thief, and as for the dead guard, they chose a good place for him, under a date tree. The location was chosen by Du Yuanbao, and he felt that this was an excellent feng shui treasure.
Du Yuanbao also found a wooden board and wrote a tombstone for the guards.
The guard's name is Du Feng, the surname Du was added by Du Yuanbao privately, and the guard has no surname, his name is Ah Feng.
Now, in his heart, he is a member of the Du family.
The caravan set out again, and this time after it hit the road, the atmosphere of the caravan was a little heavy for several days in a row.
Du Yuanbao, a person who was chirping like a magpie, suddenly stopped talking, sat outside the carriage, and looked at the sky in a daze.
Although Ye Shu'er was worried that he was stimulated and wanted to help him relieve his mood, she didn't know where to start. If you push too hard, it can backfire.
She had to come up with more delicious food to win his favor
heart, which may be able to divert his attention.
Xue Zhi'an and Du Yuanbao sat together and touched his head. new
Du Yuanbao is Du's only son, he has been held in the palm of his hand by his family since he was a child, he has never experienced strong winds and waves, and it is very dangerous outside, this is the idea that his father and mother often instilled in him, he has never taken it seriously, and now he finally knows.
"I'm fine, Zhi'an."
Xue Zhi'an asked him to take a rest, after a tiring journey in the past few days, his little round face had lost weight, and the flesh on his cheeks was gone.
Soon they arrived in Anyuan County.
Anyuan County is three or four hundred miles away from Wu County, and the caravan has been traveling for three days and finally arrived in Anyuan County.
When they arrived at the county gate, the soldiers at the city gate checked the goods on the car and confirmed that there were no smuggling of prohibited items. Liu Sandao took out the road guide for the military master to see, and after confirming the identity of the caravan, he was released.
Knowing that Xue Zhi'an and Ye Shu'er were a husband and wife, they went to Fucheng for the exam, and they were not embarrassed, and soon the caravan entered the city smoothly.
Ye Shuer's first impression when she entered Anyuan County was that it was in tatters, and even the city walls were in disrepair. The people on the street looked sick and had no energy at all.
She inquired with her eldest brother and found out that the land in Anyuan County was barren and could not grow food. It was difficult for them to even fill their stomachs, let alone have enough money to buy food and clothing, and their clothes were covered with patches of various colors, and they roamed the road like walking corpses.
"Uncle, let's get something to eat!"
An old woman of nearly half a hundred years old, carrying a wooden stick and leading a scrawny little boy, was intercepting a passing caravan on the street begging for food.
Liu Sandao is not a good person, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is not something that a person like him who licks the knife can do, every penny he earns is earned by this life.
"If you want to eat, you can give money."
No one in the caravan stepped forward to feed the old woman, and she must not be exposed when she walked outside: her wealth was not exposed.
Especially food, this is the most important thing, and if you give it, you will have endless troubles coming to your door.
Ye Shu'er looked at all this indifferently, this was in a strange environment, she could only cling to the caravan, and the people of the caravan had seen all kinds of people in the north and south, and it was definitely reasonable not to give it.
Du Yuanbao didn't understand, it was not just a cake, so why not give it.
He jumped out of the carriage, unpacked his baggage, took out a plate of bread and handed it to the old woman, "Eat!"
The old woman took the cake with both hands tremblingly on crutches, and her eyes were full of tears: "Thank you Xiao Langjun for your kindness, good people have good rewards."
Then she tore the hard-won cake in half, and gave one of them to her grandson, who had been hungry for two days, and ate the golden and crispy cake.
Du Yuanbao felt very bad in his heart, he spent five taels of silver just to eat snacks on weekdays, if this piece of cake was placed in the past, he would not have looked at it, but now it has become a life-saving straw for others.
