Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 47 Encountering Bandits on the Road

Several rows of black lines appeared on Luo Yu's forehead.

"You've wasted all the existing resources."

"Sister, when we find the space-time chassis, you can research how to make toilet paper! This dynasty is short of everything, and we women still have to menstruate, which is so troublesome."

Xia Liang didn't dare to say anything, but she was even more depressed. She never wiped her butt after pooping, but just wiped it twice in the grass. She didn't know if she would get anal infection in the future, and she was very nervous.

Feiying and the other two stopped and watched from a distance.

Feiying also saw a young man carrying his mother and walking slowly on the way. Although he sympathized with the mother and son's situation, he did not feel any compassion.

But for some reason, he kept thinking about the image of the boy carrying his mother on his back.

Once upon a time, he was also a teenager with a father and a mother. Later, his parents died. He was not even ten years old yet and lived a life of displacement. He was hungry one day and was chased by people and had his food snatched away by beggars. He did not want to think about those hard days.

If that young man's mother had died, and he had to walk to the city on foot, I'm afraid his future would not be good.

When he saw Miss Qin and her partner stop their carriage in front of the tea stall, his heart suddenly tensed up. It was not until he was sure that they were waiting for the young man that the tension slowly calmed down along with his heartbeat.

He didn't understand why this happened. He just believed that the two Miss Qin had their own principles in doing things.

The boy walked the short two kilometers for half an hour carrying his mother on his back.

Luo Yu and Bing Rui sat at the tea stall and drank for half an hour, their stomachs full of water.

But when he saw the young man, Luo Yu's face finally relaxed.

"Hey, kid, nice to meet you again. Would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea?" Qin Bingrui greeted him warmly.

The boy was stunned for a moment. Were they waiting for him?

How is it possible? They were so decisive and ruthless when they left.

Seeing him standing in front of the tea stall in a daze, Luo Yu stood up, helped the woman off his not-so-broad back, and pulled the boy to sit in front of the tea table.

The young man looked at Luo Yu, then at Qin Bingrui, not knowing what to say.

"Young man, you are very courageous. Sister will treat you to some tea!" Luo Yu poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of the young man and his mother.

"You, you guys, are waiting for me and my mother?" The boy finally choked up, tears welling up in his eyes.

He is not afraid of others' ruthless rejection or cruel scolding, but he is now afraid of others' sympathy and pity for them.

However, the girl in front of him did not do that. She treated him equally and only talked about drinking tea and nothing else.

He suddenly couldn't stop crying.

The journey was extremely difficult for him. He carried his mother on his back, stopping and starting for a full ten hours. No one helped him, no one asked him if he needed help. Even when he walked to the door of the post station and knocked, no one wanted to rescue him. A minor official only gave him a piece of cold bread as a favor.

Luo Yu patted his shoulder, took out a handkerchief he brought from the palace from his sleeve and handed it to the young man.

The young man straightened his back, and even though he had encountered an accident, he still maintained a neither arrogant nor humble demeanor.

Although the woman was too weak to sit on the table, she was still very polite when drinking tea.

Luo Yu looked at Qin Bingrui again and drank directly from the spout of the teapot with his mouth. Alas!

"Miss, thank you for your kindness. I'm sorry for offending you just now. I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous and wait for me here."

"Mother, how do you know..."

The young man came to his senses after a while, and seeing that Luo Yu had not expressed his opinion, he thought he had misunderstood. Now he was afraid that his mother had misunderstood him, but he did not understand his mother's true intentions.

Regardless of whether she was waiting for them or not, as a mother, even if she misunderstood, these two girls would probably help her with all their might because of what she said. As a mother, she had to choose to ask others for help to survive for the sake of her children. She herself might not be that important.

Luo Yu smiled faintly: "I just want to see if this kid is really persistent. Although I know he has suffered a lot before, refusing help from others and relying solely on perseverance is not a good decision. If he gets discouraged again, I have no intention of helping him."

"I understand your intentions. My boy is young and impetuous, but his heart is very upright. He encountered an accident this time, and others repeatedly refused to help him. I know he is afraid."

"Madam, you look to be in your early thirties, young and beautiful. Don't address me as old. It makes you sound so old." Qin Bingrui didn't get to the point at all.

A smile finally appeared on the woman's pale face.

The boy lowered his head and said nothing.

He didn't dare ask for help, not because he was afraid of being rejected, but because he was afraid that if he was rejected again, he would no longer have the hope of taking his mother to Liangzhou City, two hundred kilometers away.

Luo Yu asked the owner of the tea stall to give him some water, and asked the young man to wipe the blood off his face. He then examined the woman and found that the lady's back was cut and her leg was severely sprained.

The boy only had blood on his forehead, which had already dried up completely.

"What on earth happened?"

Luo Yu took the woman onto Qin Bingrui's carriage. She knew some simple bandaging techniques. The woman's wound was quite long. If she didn't seek medical treatment in time, the wound would get infected, which would be troublesome.

"Thank you for your help, young lady. We encountered bandits on the road and were slashing me in the back while trying to escape. Luckily, my son Yier bandaged the wound in time to stop the bleeding and luckily no bones were injured.

However, I lost too much blood and was unconscious for several hours. Poor Yi'er never left me."

The woman sighed and continued to talk about the dangers she encountered on the road. As she spoke, tears began to fall.

The eldest daughter and personal maid who were traveling with them were raped and then killed by the robbers who stole the carriage and all the property. In the end, they broke free and jumped off a cliff and died in the valley.

When Luo Yu heard this, his face turned pale. There was actually such an lawless thing. Two good girls were gone just like that?

Xia Liang, who was in the carriage next to him, became furious when he heard this and wanted to rush out of the carriage immediately to bite the bandits to death.

Qin Bingrui, who was standing outside the carriage, patted the boy's shaking shoulders and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, brother, I will help you get revenge."

The young man looked up at him, then lowered his head and said, "My name is Bai Lingyi."

"Brother Ling Yi, my name is Qin Bingrui."

"Are you really my brother?"

Qin Bingrui patted his chest, feeling a little pain.
