When the Ji family's carriage went up the mountain, most of the pilgrims, whether they had gone to Baiyun Temple or Baiyun Temple, had already come down the mountain. As the carriage went up the mountain, it only met a few pilgrims here and there.

When we reached halfway up the mountain, the dense forest was quiet. As the sky darkened, the surroundings became even quieter and the sound of the wheels became clearer.

Number Four instinctively felt that danger was approaching them, but apart from the occasional bird calls, there were no unexpected situations after walking for a while.

"Uu——"

Just after the fork between Baiyun Temple and Baiyun Temple, No. 4 pulled the reins and stopped the carriage. Looking at the people working not far away, he frowned slightly and said, "Miss, the road ahead is being repaired."

A worker nearby heard the noise and looked up. He stopped working on his shovel and said, "Sorry, we can't go to the temple today. Please go back. We will repair it tonight and it will be fixed tomorrow morning."

The only road up the mountain was blocked, so the carriage naturally couldn't go up.

If you really want to go up the mountain, you have to get off the carriage and walk up the mountain.

Number Four thanked the man, whispered a few words to the people in the carriage, then turned his horse around and went back.

The carriage moved back, and the workers stopped their work, straightened up, and looked at the carriage with sharp eyes.

"Leaving now?"

Among them is humanity.

"No matter whether she comes up the mountain or not, we have two plans. As long as she comes out, what is there to be afraid of?"

"So what do we do here?"

"Whatever he does, go and join them immediately."

……

In the carriage, Yueying asked through the door: "Did you see anything just now?"

Number Four whispered, "Although they were dressed like farmers from the mountains, they were all wearing thick-soled short boots. Maybe they were in such a hurry that they didn't have time to change, or maybe they thought we wouldn't pay much attention."

"Well, it seems that Miss's guess is almost right."

"Just proceed with caution."

As soon as the two finished talking, the sound of footsteps came from all directions, and the carriage was soon surrounded by a group of masked men carrying big swords.

"I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy the road!"

The tall fat man in a red coat who was in the lead slammed his sword to the ground, and the sound came from beside him.

Bandits?

Number Four was stunned when he saw the visitor's attire and opening remarks. There had been no reports of banditry outside Kyoto recently!

There are people coming and going on Baiyun Mountain. These bandits are so blatantly blocking the road and robbing people. Aren’t they a little too arrogant?

"What, are you scared to death?"

The fat man and the thin man saw that the people in the car didn't say anything, so they waved their swords and shouted.

That was the opening remark he just made.

"Hand over the silver quickly, or else, come back with me to the stronghold. If you are young, I will make you my wife. If you are old, I will kill you!"

"Madam Yazang!"

"Madam Yazang!"

……

The others started to make a few noises, but most of them were still cautious and soon stopped making noises.

The leading bandit kept his eyes fixed on the carriage behind number four, as if he had known for a long time that the person inside was a girl, and his covetous gaze was so deep that it penetrated into his bones.

"We won't ask for money today, let's take our wife back."

"Let's have fun in the bridal chamber tonight!"

"okay!"

Hearing this, the skinny bandit raised his sword and pointed at the carriage road, "Brothers, tie up this driver and bring him back to make us cooks and wash clothes. Take the person in the carriage back and make her our wife."

As soon as the words fell, the people around approached the carriage with knives raised, and one of the knives fell on No. 4's neck: "Get down."

Number Four glanced back at the carriage and followed the bandit down from the carriage...
