Chapter 47: Everyone Sleeps Overnight at the Bottom of the Valley
I saw a few people coming down from behind the bandits, and Wan Yan walked in front, with his hands tied behind his back, and his mouth was still covered with rags.
Seeing this, he hurriedly greeted him, "Hey, these rabbits have tied you up." As he spoke, he finished untying the rope on Yan's body.
After Yan's mouth whined, he quickly pulled the rags off her mouth and threw them away.
"Oh! I'm going to suffocate me! These bandits are not honest, and they tickle me all over my body. ”
Wan Yan said while cooperating with the bone beating to dry and shake off the rope on his body.
When she saw that everyone was staring at her, she immediately kept silent.
There were six bandits who carried away the short and thin dead, and six other bandits carried the big one up the hill.
Alayanzong felt that something was not right, so he said to the bandit leader again: "What about the packages that robbed us?" ”
The corners of the bandit's mouth twitched, "The package will have to wait for a while." Then he shouted again, "Send down all the things that have been snatched up the mountain." ”
A few of the thieves turned and ran back to the mountain.
At this time, Alayanzong felt that his whole body had regained his vitality, and the shocking soreness had passed, and he casually threw the smashed iron rod on the ground.
The leader of the bandits walked silently towards the side of the thieves, and as he went, he commanded, "Go find my mace." ”
Three or five thieves got into the bushes and went up the hill to look for them.
Soon, a few bandits ran back from the mountain, carried a bunch of packages, and put them in front of Alayanzong.
Everyone gathered together, each looking for his own baggage.
"Each of them will check to see if there are any items missing. ”
Only Jerah said that some silver dollars were missing, while the others shook their heads and said that they were not missing.
Seeing that he still had a lot of silver dollars in his money bag, Alayanzong said, "Break the wealth and avoid disasters, forget it." And Jerodah was no more silent.
Seeing that everyone was carrying their burdens, Alayanzong was about to say goodbye and leave here when he heard the sound of vehicles rushing on the mountain.
A thief led the horse and pulled the carriage down the mountain.
The bandit leader said to Alayanzong: "There are fewer fish, and we have already started to stew." ”
Alayanzong looked at the carriage and knew that it belonged to the white-haired tiger, and the two coachmen ran back to report the news, but the white-haired tiger had not yet sent anyone.
Then he said, "The wagon and the fish are not ours." ”
The bandit leader was stunned when he heard this, "Oh, I didn't expect the little hero to be quite sincere." Then we'll drive the wagon back. ”
Alayanzong replied, "Please." ”
The bandit leader waved his hand, and the bandit led the horse and hurried up the mountain again.
When the bandit leader led everyone back to the mountain, someone ran over and picked up the smashed iron rod, and hurriedly chased the team.
As soon as the mountain bandits left, Alayanzong beckoned, "Let's leave here too, let's go ahead to find a place to stay while the sky is still bright, and prepare to spend the night." ”
And when they had answered, they went westward.
After walking about two or three hundred meters, there is a small valley on the south side of the road, and there are big stones in the valley, and the big stones are scattered and intertwined with each other, forming many small spaces, like small shacks.
So, the crowd went downhill and went there.
They scattered to find a suitable place, and the distance was only twenty or thirty meters, and then they scattered again, looking for branches and weeds.
It was laid on the ground, covered on both sides, and completely a small sheltered alley.
Alayanzong and Ula Zhi found a relatively large shack, and built stones on both sides and laid hay, which can be regarded as a temporary nest.
He took out the wolf's skin and laid it out, and sat down in the hut, while the two of them chewed on the jerky. While talking quietly.
Ula Peach suddenly saw the young mother not far from them, just sitting under the stone in a daze, not eating anything.
Presumably, the young mother has no food on her, and she must be in a rather bad mood today when she just died of her daughter.
Ula Peach grabbed a handful of dried mutton, got up and sent it to her.
When the young mother saw that Ulla's peach brought her food, she burst into tears and choked up. After some persuasion, the peach of Ula returned.
Seeing this scene, Alayanzong remembered the shopkeeper again, he had no food on him, and looked at the baggage of the two people, as well as some potatoes and radishes.
After some discussion, they were going to look for food tomorrow, and the two decided to bake and eat it with everyone.
So Alayanzong came out of the hut and called the rest of the people over, and when he brought out the potatoes and turnips, the eyes of the people burst into cheers.
So everyone went to find dry wood, lit a bonfire, and burned potatoes.
The white radish was eaten by everyone in sections, and it felt like eating a cucumber in the mouth, crisp and delicious.
The potatoes are cooked.
People didn't care about the hot hands, so they grabbed them in their hands, sighed in their mouths, and switched their hands upside down, but there was an excited expression on their faces.
Some people are peeling the skin, and some people don't care about removing the wood ash on the surface of the potatoes, so they start putting it in their mouths.
Almost everyone ate two potatoes, and although they were not full, they were no longer hungry. After thanking Alayanzong and Ula Peach, they both went back to their makeshift huts to rest.
The sun was gone, and it was getting dark. The moon came up, and although it was only a crescent moon, it shone on the ground, and the nearby scenery could still be faintly distinguished.
The night wind is cold.
Alayanzong and Ula Peach took up the wolf's skin and sheepskin that were laid under them and covered them.
The others only covered the few single clothes they carried with them to protect them from the cold.
There was no sound of speech, as if everyone had fallen asleep. Alayanzong was between sleeping and not sleeping, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, from far and near.
The sound of horses' hooves stopped, and it was not far from the road when they came.
Alayanzong was unusually alert, and when he listened attentively, there was still someone talking.
A deep voice was familiar, as if it were the white-haired tiger.
Needless to say, the white-haired tiger came with someone to ask the bandits for a carriage and fish.
Thinking of the white-haired tiger driving a black boat, colluding with the proprietress on the mountainside to open a black shop, and bullying tourists to earn money, Alayanzong hated it very much. Although I taught him a lesson, I also knew that this man's bad habits were difficult to change.
The thief robbed his carriage and the fish was unjust, and the white-haired tiger was not a good person, let them fight, and they didn't have to worry about him, just sleep in peace.
Alayanzong's guess was not bad at all.
At this time, the white-haired tiger did bring the black-haired dog and the two chariot drivers, and rode four fast horses to this mountain to look for bandits and ask for goods.
Although there was moonlight illumination, in order to see more clearly, the four of them lit a fire and looked for the mountain road as they walked.
Finally finding their way, the four men led their horses and headed up the hill.
Although Alayanzong didn't want to care about the white-haired tiger's affairs anymore, he couldn't sleep for a while.
After about half an hour, I heard movement on the other side of the mountain, as if it was the sound of a carriage being driven.
A wagon came in the direction of Alayanzong.
The sound of horses' hooves faded away, as if returning to the east.
