Chapter 80 Encountering Bandits
Xie Jian said: "My sister is not convenient to meet outsiders."
Xiao Maizi said, "Is your sister sick? Doctor Cui in our village is a very good doctor." Old man Li also remembered that his sister had been resting in the house since she came in and had not stepped out of the room. It seemed that she was seriously ill.
Xie Jian was about to explain when he saw Zhu Zhu coming out.
When Xiao Maizi saw Zhu Zhu, her clothes were much prettier than his own torn clothes. He thought that this must be the sister that the boy was talking about. She looked fine and didn't seem to be sick.
He greeted her warmly: "You must be Sister Xie, come and have dinner."
Zhu Zhu was about to refute that she was not the one, but saw Momo coming out. Xiao Maizi saw another person coming out of the house, and this was also Xie's sister. Then how many sisters does Xie Jian have?
Momo said, "Excuse me, where is the Doctor Cui that the young lady mentioned?" The young lady was very prone to motion sickness, and Momo wanted to find Doctor Cui to get some medicine to prevent motion sickness.
Xiao Maizi said, "You don't look sick."
Mo Mo said, "Just in case." Then he said to Zhu Zhu, "Zhu Zhu, bring in some light food. The young lady has no appetite."
Xie Jian asked, "How is Miss?" Yun Shu started to feel carriage sick since she started on the journey, and she hasn't gotten much better in the past few days.
Momo said, "I'll go get some medicine for the young lady."
Xiaomaizi watched Zhu Zhu enter her guest room. It seemed that the young lady was resting there, as if she was really sick.
Yunshu looked at the food Zhu Zhu brought in, which were all vegetables made by Grandma Li herself: "Zhu Zhu, leave them here, and you can also have some chicken soup." Zhu Zhu was just commenting on how good the food smelled and wanted to drink some chicken soup.
Zhu Zhu was still worried about Yun Shu's health, and Yun Shu said, "I'm fine, you go quickly and serve a bowl for Mo Mo as well." The two of them had to take care of her as a patient all the way, which was very tiring.
Xiao Maizi entered the kitchen and said to Old Lady Li, "Grandma, those two maids are prettier than our village belle. Have you seen the young lady? How pretty is she?"
Grandma Li was busy until now and said, "I didn't see it clearly, only a pair of eyes were exposed, but it was no different from that fairy."
After hearing what grandma said, Xiaomai became even more curious about the young lady's appearance. She felt that Xie Jian and his father Xie Cong were not as good-looking as Doctor Cui.
How come that lady is so beautiful?
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they couldn't help but sigh that farm meals were still the best. After two days of eating flatbreads, today's meal was so delicious.
Before leaving, Zhu Zhu gave Old Man Li another twenty taels of silver to thank them for their hospitality.
Old man Li said, "You'd better take a detour. There is a Red Maple Ridge eighty miles ahead, and there are bandits there." Their group was too conspicuous.
Xie Cong asked someone to ask Yun Shu for his opinion. According to their schedule, they might not be able to get there in time if they took a detour.
Yunshu also heard what Grandpa Li said, but time did not allow them to take a detour, so he thanked Grandpa Li for his suggestion.
They should be careful, at worst they can just give more money.
When Yunshu left, Xiaomai finally saw the fairy that her grandmother had mentioned. She really was a fairy, with fluttering clothes and lotus steps. Although she only saw her back, Xiaomai knew that she must be a beautiful and elegant woman, different from her, as if this kind of woman was born to ride in a BMW and live in a precious building.
Old Lady Li watched everyone leave, then looked at her granddaughter's expression and said, "Stop looking, and go with your grandfather to carry the rice back from the field."
Xiao Maizi said, "I'd better go to the mountains to hunt rabbits." She liked the feeling of running freely in the mountains.
While walking on the road, Xie Cong suggested to Yun Shu and the other two that the women should disguise themselves as men and when the bandits robbed them of their money, they could just leave some money as bribe.
On the evening of the second day, red maple leaves could be seen on the road. Autumn is a beautiful season and the scenery along the way was quite nice.
Xie Cong said: "Miss, it seems that we have entered the road boundary of Hongfeng Ridge. Everyone please be careful." There are bandits in this area. I hope that the bandits are resting in the village today and they can pass Hongfeng Ridge smoothly.
Xie Jiang also said: "What are you afraid of? If the bandits come, just follow me, young lady. I, Xie Jiang, will beat them until they call me grandpa."
The sun sets, dusk falls, the sky is getting darker and darker, and I have to sleep on the streets again tonight.
We have to travel in the dark tonight and talk about it after we pass Hongfeng Ridge.
Xie Cong ordered his men to ride as fast as possible. Fortunately, they did not encounter any bandits along the way. They ran for fifty miles in one breath and Hongfeng Ridge was already behind them. They finally passed it smoothly.
After traveling all night, everyone was exhausted. Xie Cong ordered everyone to sit in the woods not far away to rest.
As the sky gradually brightened, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Just take a nap in the woods and rest before setting off again.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the road, and everyone pricked up their ears.
From the noisy laughter, it seemed like there were quite a few people there.
Is it just such a coincidence that they encountered bandits?
One of the gruff voices said, "We've had a great harvest tonight, let's go back and celebrate."
Another one said, "Boss, I'm going to pee. I've been holding it in all night."
At this time, everyone in the Xie family was still feeling fortunate that they did not continue moving forward, otherwise they would have run into this group of bandits head-on.
After peeing, the man got on the horse and left cursing and laughing.
Seeing that the bandits had finally disappeared without a trace, Xie Cong was afraid that the night would be long and full of troubles, so he suggested that everyone leave quickly.
Yun Shu also agreed with Xie Cong's suggestion. It was already getting light now, with scattered stars in the sky, so they could see the road clearly in the forest.
The group walked in the woods for about a quarter of an hour when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind them.
Xie Cong hurriedly shouted: "Run."
How could they match the bandits' speed? They were surrounded in no time.
The leading thief laughed and said, "They are still a group of fat sheep."
Another person said, "Be smart and leave some money for the passage."
Xie Cong stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, we are just passing by here, and this is a small token of our appreciation." After that, he asked Xie Jian to present the silver that had been prepared.
Xie Jian reluctantly took out the silver he had on him, and Xie Cong was still there smiling and saying, "Thank you for your hard work, go back and buy some wine for the brothers."
The leader dismounted and took the silver. He weighed it in his hand and it was quite heavy. "Search."
His men searched everywhere, and Xie Jian was so angry that he trembled and said, "Since you have already accepted the silver, why are you still searching our luggage?"
The leader of the thieves said, "If anyone dares to question me, I will break his legs."
Xie Cong said, "Sir, this young boy is ignorant, please don't mind it."
The thieves searched everywhere but found only some spare clothes and dry food, and nothing valuable.
The leading thief said again: "Search me."
Xie Jian finally said: "Dad, why are you so polite to them? Today I will get rid of this harm to the people." These two thieves had robbed countless people. Others let them rob, but Xie Jian couldn't do it.
Another leader said: "Second brother, he is still a man of courage."
