Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

When the three of them drove the carriage out of the Orphanage and were some distance away from the inn, Tian Jianshan got off the carriage. He thanked the two girls and left.

The two returned to the room and lay on the bed to rest. They were delayed in Shao'an Mansion for two days. But looking back, it was worth it. No matter if I was an ordinary policeman in my previous life or just a little girl now, I would lend a hand when I am able.

At noon, the two of them went to the small restaurant across the street to eat something, then went back to the guest room to take a nap. At two or three in the afternoon, they woke up and ate some snacks. They were not hungry at dinner time, but felt a little bored, so they asked the store owner, "Is there a night market in this city?"

The shopkeeper said, "The night market in the city is in the busiest East Market. It's open every night, except on rainy days."

Thinking that the inn was not far from the East Market, the two of them walked there.

From a distance, you can see that the street is brightly lit, bustling with people. When you get closer, you can see that there are many lanterns hanging on many tall pillars on both sides of the street, and there are five or six lanterns hanging on each tree trunk, illuminating this bustling street.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going. The hawkers' calls, bargaining and loud shouts all paint a picture of a busy ancient night market.

The two of them walked and strolled, holding food in their hands and eating all the time. They ate as they walked, and when they were full, they happily returned to the inn and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, we had breakfast in the city and left. It was May now, and the weather was good, neither too hot nor too cold. I opened the curtains on the left and right windows of the carriage, and the wind from outside blew in, which was really comfortable. The scenery on both sides of the official road was sometimes rows of trees, sometimes farmland, green and full of vitality.

Sometimes Biyue and Xiaomai would sit in the front driving the car. They would sit side by side, chatting and enjoying the scenery on both sides of the road.

Sometimes Biyue let Xiaomai come in and lie down for a while, and let the horse <Zhui Ri> run on its own. The two of them ran like this for another three days. When they came across a small town or a county town, they would rest for a night. The journey was very peaceful.

That day, after walking on the official road from the small town for half an hour, I heard shouting from the front and people were running back. What happened?

The two men stopped the carriage, and the men who were running back in front were all sweating profusely, looking pale and breathing heavily.

Bi Yue asked a man in his 40s, "What happened in front?" The man saw a pretty girl sitting in front of the carriage and asked him a question, so he stopped and said, "There are bandits in front, dozens of them, robbing things and women, and killing men on sight. I only escaped death because I ran fast. Don't stop here, retreat quickly."

"Does the government not care?"

"I don't know either. This is my first time walking this road."

At this time, there were a few people running back in front. Biyue didn't know who often took this road, so she wanted to ask how long this bandit had been entrenched in this place.

If this road is blocked, we will have to cross a mountain to bypass this bandit's lair, which will definitely take at least ten days or half a month. It's really a headache.

Bi Yue looked at the navigation system and found that it would take an hour and a half to get back to the next county town. The county magistrate of this county town could not have been unaware of the bandit problem here. It would also take an hour and a half to get to the previous county town. This bandit den really knew how to choose a location, being located between these two county towns. It was unknown which county was in charge of this place.

Bi Yue had no choice but to retreat a few miles with these people before stopping. They found a place to stop and rest on a relatively flat rocky beach by the river.

Sitting in the carriage, thinking about what to do, he had a bold idea, so he asked, "Xiaomi, I'm going to explore the bandit's den tonight, do you dare to go with me?"

"If the young lady dares to go, Xiaomai will dare to go too."

"Okay, let's rest here now and set off at night."

At seven o'clock in the evening, the two men and the horse set out. It was getting darker and darker. Two large lanterns were hung on both sides of the carriage. Incandescent lamps were installed on the horses' heads, which illuminated the road ahead. It was quiet all around. There were insects chirping and owls hooting from both sides. Bi Yue was worried that Xiao Mai would be scared, so she let her lie down in the carriage. She drove ahead with the navigator and quietly asked the system, "The bandits have all gone back now. How far is the bandit's den from where the incident happened this morning?"

"Host, about an hour."

"When we get there, can you help me detect how many people are inside?"

"Okay, host."

The carriage ran very fast, and in an hour and a half, it arrived at the foot of the mountain where the bandits' lair were. Bi Yue asked the system: "How many bandits are there on this mountain?"

"Host, there are nearly four hundred people, and there are three bandit leaders."

"Got it. Thank you!"

Bi Yue put the carriage frame into the treasure bag, and the two of them rode their horses up a mountain road. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, she got off the horse for fear of alarming the bandits who were on guard. She said to the horse, "I'll take you to a good place later." After that, she put the horse into the treasure bag without waiting for the answer, took out a Qingyu sword from the locker, handed Xiaomai a big knife, and the two of them used their Qinggong skills to quickly arrive at the gate of the mountain village.

"Xiaomi, wait for me here. I'll go explore the way first and come back to find you later." After saying that, he put on the invisibility cloak and disappeared immediately.

Bi Yue arrived at the bandit's lair. It was midnight and except for those who were on guard, there were still a few bandits who had not slept yet.

Bi Yue came to the sleeping room of the bandits, sprinkled medicine on their lamp, then went out and went to another room. She was busy for more than ten minutes, and then she dealt with all the people on guard. She waited for another half an hour before checking. Seeing that the bandits were all fast asleep, she went to find Xiao Mai, threw a bundle of ropes to her, and asked her to tie up the people. She went to the bandit leader's room and asked the system to help her find gold and silver treasures. It did not disappoint her.

In the boss's warehouse, he found five boxes of gold, five boxes of silver, two boxes of jewelry, and two boxes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings. He was really rich. He then went to the place where the grain was stored and collected all the grain, as well as the fodder, and a few armchairs that he liked.

When Bi Yue saw so much gold and silver, she smiled so much that her teeth were showing. It was the first time for her to earn so much money since she came to this strange world. She robbed a bandit’s den and became rich overnight. This business with no capital investment was really lucrative, hehe!

Xiaomai walked up to Biyue and said, "Miss, everyone has been tied up, what should we do?

"We'll talk about it later."

At this time, the system's voice came: "Host, there are 18 women locked up in another room. They were robbed by bandits."

After hearing the system's report, Bi Yue asked about the location of the room. Holding a lantern, she and Xiao Mai went to look for it immediately. When they arrived at the door of the room, they chopped off the iron lock with an axe and pushed open the door. There was no light inside. Bi Yue raised the lantern and saw that there were indeed eighteen women locked up inside. They were all around 20 years old. When they saw two little girls coming in, they all looked confused.

Bi Yue said to the women, "Come out with us. I have tied up all the bandits. You are safe now."

Everyone looked incredulous, thinking they were hallucinating.

A fifteen-year-old girl asked in a trembling voice, "Is it true?"

"Yes, my young lady would not lie to you, go out!" Everyone came out and followed the two little girls to the meeting hall. There were several lights on inside and the hall was bright. Everyone believed that all this was true and hurriedly thanked the two little girls for saving their lives.

Bi Yue pointed to the two boxes on the table and said, "Here are two thousand silver coins. Each of you will get one hundred taels. Leave here at dawn. You can't stay here for long.

At daybreak, a dozen women went down the mountain with the silver. After walking for half an hour, Biyue put all the bandits into her treasure bag. The two of them came to the foot of the mountain, released the horses and carriages, got on the carriage, and drove away as if nothing had happened.
