Chapter 10: Encounter with Bandits
"Okay." Old Madam Xiao's thin hand patted her hand and praised, "Yue'er, you did a good job." ”
Old Madam Xiao said, "Let's go, don't delay the hour." ”
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the city gate, there were many people coming and going, but there was no one they wanted to see, she said, "Grandmother, or, let's wait?" Second aunt maybe, still on the way? ”
"No need." Old Madam Xiao lowered her eyes, half of her body was buried in the loess, there were some things, she could only see more clearly than Xiao Jiuyue, but her heart was cold.
"Yue'er, this is going to Hongdu, thousands of miles away, and the road is a little more vigilant." Old Madam Xiao reminded.
"Grandmother rests in peace, I know." Xiao Jiuyue said a word to Manager Jin, and the carriage began to stagger.
Sheng Jing gradually disappeared behind them, Xiao Jiuyue looked back at the quaint and majestic city tower, one day, she Xiao Jiuyue will return with dignity!
Xiao Jiuyue, who grew up in an orphanage, didn't think it was hard to ride in a carriage, but a few female dependents of the Xiao family had only been gone for three days, and they were delicate as if they were going to be sick at any time.
The beauty mother loves to cry, wiping her tears all the way, Xiao Jiuyue really can't stand it, I'm really worried that the beauty mother has not arrived in Hongdu, so she will cry blindly, she said: "Mother, Daddy said that your shoes are very soft, when you are fine, why don't you make a few more pairs for Daddy?" ”
"Okay." The beauty mother responded, and the person was still in the carriage, so she began to take the sewing basket and prepare to make shoes, Xiao Jiuyue hurriedly said: "Mother, I am not in a hurry at this moment, what if I tie my hands?" ”
"It's okay, I can't tie my hands." In the rickety carriage, the beautiful lady was making shoes seriously, but she didn't cry.
When she rested at night, Xiao Jiuyue let the beauty mother get busy, not to let her accompany Xiao Jiayuan, but to let her work, anyway, she was not allowed to be idle, and the time for the beauty to cry was finally less.
……
"Third master, it seems to be the carriage of the Xiao family in front." Guo Sheng looked at the carriage in front of him and recognized it at a glance.
"Third master, let's hurry up, tonight, we will be able to reach Yuguang, and then we will go west to Xiangcheng." Guo Sheng thought that after leaving Beijing, the third master would rush day and night, probably wanting to arrive in Xiangcheng to collect medicine as soon as possible.
"Hmm." Jun Lie rode his horse and followed the carriage slowly.
Guo Sheng looked at the third prince, hesitated for a long time, and finally closed his mouth.
All the way to Yuguang, they did not go west to Xiangcheng, but went southwest to the direction of Hongdu?
"Isn't this a detour?" Guo Sheng looked at the carriage of the Xiao family in front of him, and muttered in a low voice, after such a circle, half a month has been gone.
After leaving Shengjing for half a month, when passing by Lincheng, the mountain road was rugged, Xiao Jiuyue also cheered up, and when she came out of the post station, she reminded: "Uncle Jin, there is Jiutou Mountain in front, I heard that there are bandits in this Jiutou Mountain, when we pass by, we should be careful and try to speed up as much as possible." ”
"Don't worry, Miss, I've cheered up the guards." Mr. Kim replied.
Xiao Jiuyue bowed slightly, and went to the carriage of the beautiful lady, the grandmother is old and needs to rest, in addition to the fact that the beautiful lady loves to cry, she speaks softly, and when she sits in the carriage, it is also pleasing to the eye.
As for his younger brother Xiao Jiayuan, he followed Aunt Lan and looked at the mountains and rivers outside excitedly with Xiao Jiachen.
Xiao Jiuyue lifted the curtain and looked at the mountains outside one after another, and the road they are walking on now is sandwiched between the mountains on both sides, looking ahead, winding, except for the mountains or mountains, looking back, the road disappeared into the mountains and forests.
"Stop!" Manager Jin's voice sounded, and Xiao Jiuyue saw falling rocks rolling down the mountain, blocking the middle of the road.
"Mother, stay in the carriage and don't come out." Xiao Jiuyue jumped out of the carriage after telling him, and Manager Jin turned over and dismounted, and said anxiously: "Miss, get on the carriage quickly, we have run into bandits." ”
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the bandits who rushed down from the mountain, all of them were fierce and vicious, she calmly analyzed: "The front and back roads are blocked, and our people can't beat them at all." ”
"Everyone, all gathered together, grandmother, mother, stay in the carriage, don't get off the carriage!" Xiao Jiuyue said quickly, and then ordered: "Lianxin, bring the banner I asked you to make." ”
Lian Xin's frightened face turned white, listening to Xiao Jiuyue's words, she hurriedly trotted to the carriage behind her to rummage through it.
"Yo, such a peugeot beauty, bring it home, just for our second master to be the wife of the village." A man with a scar on his brow, and his rough voice sounded, causing the bandits to laugh.
"Blessed are you, the second master."
"This beauty is so beautiful!"
The bandits' straightforward words, if they are really the original owners, they are afraid that they will be angry to death.
"Shut up." The sword in Uncle Jin's hand couldn't wait to step forward directly, but was stopped by Xiao Jiuyue.
"Miss, they're going too far." Luo Kui followed Xiao Jiuyue's side closely, and her face was red by their words.
"They, how can they say that." As soon as the beauty lady wanted to get off the carriage, she was stopped by the hibiscus beside her and said, "Madam, the eldest lady said that you can't get off the carriage." ”
"Ahem." Old Madam Xiao clutched her chest in the carriage and coughed.
"Miss, I've brought something." Lianxin ran all the way over with the big flag.
Xiao Jiuyue opened the box and took out the specially ordered flag inside before departure, she said: "Jin Wen Jinwu, put this flag on." ”
Jin Wen and Jin Wu slowly retreated with their swords, and the moment the banner was raised, they were raised in the wind.
"What's that?"
"Is this beauty not in a good brain, raise a flag, and think we can let them go?"
"A broken flag, who cares who she is!"
"Xiao?"
"It can't be the Xiao family that was recently exiled by the raid, right?"
"Yes, it's the Xiao family." Xiao Jiuyue spoke, her crisp voice sounded, she took a step forward, and the nobility that she had raised from the small brocade clothes and jade food, even if there was only a simple hosta in her hair, in this mountain forest, it was difficult to hide her nobility.
"I have heard for a long time that the big boss of Jiutou Village has made a good knife technique, and when I see it today, it is worthy of its reputation." Xiao Jiuyue's gaze fell on the scarred face, and she said: "The knife is a good knife, but people are not as terrible as the legends in the rivers and lakes." ”
When the big boss heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "It's a bold girl, you are the eldest lady of the Xiao family?" Let me tell you, my second brother ......"
The big boss pulled the handsome man next to him to his side, his thick palm fell on his shoulder, and praised: "I haven't been married yet, you married my second brother, just right, and you don't have to go all the way to find a place to live, we are very big in Jiutou Village, raising your family, no problem!" ”
The second master's face turned red instantly.
