Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

The weather is not very good, it is gloomy and cloudy.

Bai Lingyi's heart became increasingly gloomy and heavy, just like the weather.

The place where the Bai family met with the accident was in the forest where Luo Yu and his companions pretended to conquer Xia Liang. It was nearly 10 kilometers away from the post station where they rested for the night.

So this kid carried his mother on his back for more than 30 kilometers.

Xia Liang felt a lump in his throat when he heard Luo Yu's chatter in the carriage, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Maybe they were in the deep mountains and forests, so Bai Lingyi was extremely alert.

"Sister, I heard a strange sound. Is it a wild animal?"

Luo Yu stopped the carriage and called the dog out: "Dogleg, take good care of the carriage."

Xiaoyi looked stunned.

The lackey barked obediently, then politely wagged his tail and greeted Xiaoyi.

Xiaoyi didn't know what to say, so he just nodded to Gouzi as a gesture of goodwill.

This kid is too arrogant, that’s what the lackey told Baihu.

The three of them parked the carriage at the entrance of the forest and each took a shovel and walked deeper into the forest.

Luo Yu had already placed the bag containing the banknotes under Baihu's body, which was the safest place.

Bai Lingyi walked a few steps without forgetting to look back. Seeing the dog wagging its tail at him, he finally couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid of those bandits showing up if you park the carriage here? They might live in this forest."

"Don't be afraid, the dog is here and will notify us."

"..."

Bai Lingyi was a little worried that he had met two kind sisters who were too carefree.

After the three people left, Baihu Xia Liang immediately jumped out of the carriage. She didn't know how long she had been holding her urine. The air in the carriage was not circulating and it was stuffy. The most annoying thing was that she had to hold her urine and feces.

If possible, she would rather chase the carriage herself.

When the lackey saw her running around, he thought she was joking, so he jumped up and down with her, very happy.

Luo Yu and his two companions walked for a while before they reached the place where Miss Bai was chased by the bandits to the edge of the cliff and chose to jump off. Luo Yu leaned over to look at the valley which was a hundred meters deep, then looked back at the dense forest.

The scene at that time flashed through her mind, and one could imagine the despair of Bai Fengchu and the maid.

"What a bunch of idiots! If I find these thugs, I'll make sure they die a miserable death."

Qin Bingrui couldn't help but swear.

Bai Lingyi said nothing, his eyes changed from grief to anger. He clenched his fists, hating himself for not being able to save his sister at that time.

Luo Yu observed the surroundings thoroughly, patted Bai Lingyi on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go. We can go down to the valley half a mile ahead. Let's go down quickly and look for it."

The chance of survival in a valley dozens of feet high was very small. In addition, so many days had passed, and the body was likely to have already rotted away. Luo Yu didn't dare to imagine the tragedy that would happen, but she could imagine Bai Lingyi's grief.

It was not until they saw with their own eyes the bodies of the two fifteen-year-old girls, their faces unrecognizable, their clothes stained with blood and tattered, and the blood around them dried up, that Luo Yu frowned and his nose felt sore.

Bai Lingyi ignored Luo Yu's attempts to capture him and threw himself on the corpse of one of the girls in the pink dress, crying loudly.

Even though the air around him was filled with the smell of rotting corpses, his lung-piercing screams never stopped for a moment.

A quarter of an hour later, when he was exhausted from crying, Qin Bingrui finally pulled the boy up. He and Luo Yu clasped their hands together in front of the rotting corpse and chanted, "Rest in peace, ladies. May you be reincarnated peacefully as human beings, and no longer suffer the sins of this life.

Today, Qin and Miss Bai's brother, Bai Lingyi, have come to bid farewell to the two girls. We hope the girls rest in peace soon and don't worry too much about this life. Miss Bai, we will definitely help Master Bai avenge you and the maid. We hope the two girls can be reborn into happy families soon."

Luo Yu continued to talk about how she borrowed Bai Fengchu's identity and would take good care of her mother and brother for her. The dead are the greatest, so she felt it necessary to explain clearly.

Bai Lingyi didn't say a word the whole time. His eyes were firm and unwavering. It was probably because he had said what he wanted to say countless times in his mind.

After a moment of silence, the three men found a secret spot and began digging a hole with shovels. An hour later, they placed the bodies of the two girls into the hole.

When covering the bodies with soil, Luo Yu took out a large piece of silk he had bought in Tianbao County from his backpack and used it to cover the heads and half of the bodies of the two girls, in order to preserve their last dignity.

After bowing three times, the three men shoveled soil and slowly buried the body.

Bai Lingyi has been unusually calm since he burst into tears when he first arrived.

The 12-year-old boy lost his father unexpectedly, his grandmother died of anger, his family suffered misfortunes, and his sister was murdered by a villain. All these accidents happened so suddenly that he couldn't recover all of a sudden.

Luo Yu didn't know how to comfort him, so Qin Bingrui patted the boy's shoulder and said, "Let's go back early. You still have your mother. Don't let her worry!"

Luo Yu, however, was thinking about erecting a monument, but didn't want to be stopped by Bai Lingyi. He shook his head and said, "You are my sister now. If someone finds out about this monument, it will only cause trouble in the future."

Luo Yu couldn't believe that the young man could think of this, so he made a simple tombstone out of wood and engraved it with the words: "May the world be beautiful!"

Looking at these words, Bai Lingyi's pupils moved.

Is the world really a beautiful place? He looked at Sister Luo Yu and Brother Qin Ruirui, feeling lost.

After finding a spring to wash their hands and wipe off the dust on their bodies, the three of them prepared to go back to find the carriage.

But I didn't expect to hear a noisy sound of people.

Bai Lingyi's heart tightened. Did this group of people really live in this forest?

Luo Yu made a hushing gesture. He didn't know who the person was, let alone how many people there were on the other side, so he couldn't alert the enemy.

"Brother, look, there are two large carriages parked over there, and one of them is actually pulled by two horses!"

A shifty-looking man pointed at a luxurious carriage parked on the side of the road. Who would have thought that the carriage was not tied and the horses were not running.

"It must be some young master from a noble family and his servants who came out to steal that. Hehe, they really know how to find a place!" Dirty people always think dirty.

Xia Liang and Gou Zi strolled around outside for a few laps, and when they were tired they went back to the carriage to take a nap.

As soon as she heard the noise, she told the dog to shake the car hard and get out.

When Gou Tuizi heard this, he immediately became interested. What he wanted to do most when riding in the carriage these days was to jump back and forth in the carriage, but Xia Liang didn't allow him to be naughty.

Sure enough, when they saw movement in the carriage, the robbers became even more crazy.

Luo Yu, Qin Bingrui and Bai Lingyi secretly followed this group of people.

From a distance, I saw them walking towards the carriage.

There were about five or six people, each holding a knife.

All I could hear was the leader saying, "We've been so lucky these past few days! We robbed a rich man's carriage a few days ago, and now we've got two more. Brothers, we can live a rich life now."

"This time it should be more valuable. Last time, although I had tens of thousands of taels of silver and valuables, a coachman took away most of it. I can't let it go this time."

Bai Lingyi clenched his fists tighter and tighter, and he could be heard saying through gritted teeth, "It was this same gang of robbers we encountered that day, but there were a few fewer of them."

Luo Yu said "oh" and told him not to worry.
