Chapter 127 Ping'an Town
Things are clear. This is because of the accident caused by the family's profit conflict, and Lu Shaoyu and others were just inexplicably involved in this incident.
The caravan rested on the flat ground for a day, dug a pit and buried all the victims on the spot, and then repaired the plank road, and the people continued their journey. Because of the sudden attack, most of the mules and horses were killed and wounded, and some people were seriously injured and could not walk, and there was not enough foot strength, so most of the goods had to be discarded here, and the mules and horses were vacated for people to ride.
The group carefully passed the second half of the plank road, and Wan Fu Bao was wise enough to send someone to investigate the road conditions in advance.
Nothing else happened along the way, and in the evening, everyone had already left the narrow plank road. I found a flat place, rested for the night, and then went again.
After more than ten days, the caravan walked out of the deep mountains and dense forests, and the road became more unimpeded.
Lu Shaoyu calculated the time, at this time, it has been almost more than a month since he entered the mountain, and it is estimated that it is close to Anzhou Mansion. He asked Wan Fubao, Wan Fubao said that there were still three days to arrive in Ping'an Town, Lu Shaoyu nodded, and did not ask more.
Ping'an Town is another end point of this trade route.
Time flies, and after three days, after everyone has crossed a mountain range, the eyes are suddenly open, standing on the top of the mountain, you can see that there is a rice wave undulating plain in front of you.
At this time, it was early autumn, and the autumn rice had just begun to turn yellow and was not yet fully ripe. The breeze was blowing, and the ears of rice that were not yet full swayed with the wind, and the blue and yellow blended with each other, undulating like waves, like layers of thin waves on the surface of a calm lake.
The scenery is beautiful in front of you, and in the distance, the outline of a town is faintly visible.
"That's Ping'an Town. Wan Fubao pointed to the vague outline in front of him and said to Lu Shaoyu.
Lu Shaoyu nodded and snorted.
For this Ping'an Town, Lu Shaoyu still knows something. This town is like the city of strong winds, relying on the convenience of trade routes, business is quite prosperous, although the current population is only about 70,000 or 80,000, but with the economic development, it will develop into a big city sooner or later.
The mules and horses walked into the flat ground, moving faster, and the people walked towards Ping'an Town. After walking for about half an hour, I finally arrived outside the town.
Because Ping'an Town is a necessary place for caravans to enter the mountain, in order to have a good intention, pray for the safety of the caravan, it will be named this name. Because it was still a town market and there were no wild beasts, no towering walls were built. The outermost part of the town was just a few defensive stakes.
A stone archway was the gate of the town, and when the caravan entered, the tattered and decaying caravan immediately attracted people's attention, and everyone talked about it, guessing that it was because it was attacked by wild beasts in the mountains.
Wan Fubao and the others naturally didn't take these people's discussions to heart, and they walked quickly towards the south of the town.
The trade route of the Luoyue Mountains is a major source of income for Wanjia, so Wanjia has a special post station and purchasing point in Ping An to provide convenience for the caravan. Wan Fubao and the others walked towards this post station.
After they were attacked, the pigeon had already sent a message to the people in the family. The people in the family attached great importance to it, and they also sent people to Ping'an Town at this time. When Wan Fubao and others came to the south of the city, a young man came with more than ten warriors to greet them.
"Uncle Bao, you briefly mentioned in your letter that you were attacked, what is the matter? We are all worried about you. The young man said.
"Second Young Master, this matter is very important, let's go in and talk about it. Wan Fubao turned his head and glanced at it and said.
The young man nodded and instructed the warriors behind him to take charge of dealing with the wounded brought back by Wan Fubao.
These are the internal affairs of the Wanjia family, and Lu Shaoyu didn't want to get involved, but Wan Fubao did everything he could to keep it, saying that this matter was solved by him, and the Wanjia family hadn't repaid him or anything. Lu Shaoyu thought for a while, and thought: "I have just arrived in Anzhou Mansion, and I am not familiar with the place, so I will make friends with the Wan family first, and I will be familiar with all the forces before leaving, so that it is convenient to act later." So he agreed.
The crowd entered the post station and found a hidden inner room, and Wan Fubao told the young man about the attack. The young man listened quietly, and finally slapped the stage angrily: "It's really unreasonable, the He family is really too deceitful." Uncle Bao, you come back to Tianshui City with me, and I'll ask Daddy to help you get justice. ”
From the conversation between Wan Fubao and the young man, Lu Shaoyu knew that this young man was the second son of the current head of the Wan family, whose name was Wan Shengcai.
After listening to Wan Shengcai's words, Wan Fubao said: "Second young master, don't be busy, this time the old man's old bones can survive, it all depends on this little brother Lu Shaoyu to help, he is my great benefactor! By the way, thank him on behalf of the old man. ”
As he spoke, he secretly signaled to Wan Shengcai and asked him to win Lu Shaoyu into the family and make friends with each other.
Wan Shengcai didn't care? He smiled, and was about to speak, but Fang Yi next to him had already spoken first: "Hey, old man, you're not very kind, I also helped at that time, why did you give all the credit to Shao Yu? Do you plan to thank him but not me?"
"Hehe, little brother Fang Yi is naturally also the life-saving benefactor of Xiao Lao'er, thank you, thank you!" Wan Fubao said with a smile.
"Hey, that's pretty much it, so how are you going to thank us?" Fang Yi grinned, his mouth missing two front teeth had a funny feeling.
"Uh......" Wan Fubao didn't expect his polite words to be taken seriously by the other party, so he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Lu Shaoyu patted Fang Yi's head, turned his head and smiled at Wan Fubao: "Don't listen to his stupid words, it's just a gesture, Uncle Bao doesn't have to be polite." ”
"Hehe, it's a gesture for you, but it's a lifesaver for me. If you don't repay your kindness, what face does my old man have to live in the world. Wan Fubao smiled, changed his words, and suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, you have only recently arrived, and you are not familiar with the life here, why don't you go to Wanjia Panheng first?" ”
This was exactly what Lu Shaoyu wanted, and Lu Shaoyu said a few polite words, and then agreed. That Wan Shengcai also took the opportunity to step forward and be polite.
Everyone greeted each other for a long time, and finally discussed the matter, and decided to set off early tomorrow morning to return to Tianshui City and explain the matter to the family. Whether to fight or endure is decided by the family. Anyway, the main culprit of the attack is in his own hands, and with a witness, he is on his side, and he is not afraid of a war with the He family.
And Lu Shaoyu also decided to go to Tianshui City with him, first live in Wanjia for a while, and then plan later. And Fang Yi was not in a hurry to go home, he wanted to go to Tianshui City with Lu Shaoyu to play for a few days......
