Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Bai Lingyi and Fang got into the carriage, Luo Yu and Qin Bingrui sat outside, and the little monkey stood on the roof, jumping around happily.

After waiting for an incense stick of time, they were finally allowed to go, and the carriage was not found.

It was almost the hour of You, the scorching sun burned every inch of the land, and the cicadas' chirping came like waves.

The summer solstice feast is in full swing and is approaching.

Qin Bingrui put the veil on Luo Yu and asked her, "Sister, who do you think these people are?"

"They did show us the Liangzhou Prefecture official badge just now. I wonder what they are looking for."

"Never mind them. Luckily, they didn't find the weapons I was carrying. Sister Luo Yu was smart enough to let me put the weapons in Xia Liang's carriage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little monkey jumped down from the roof of the car with a purse in his hand. He stuffed the purse into Qin Bingrui's hand.

Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu looked at each other.

Could it be that Qin Bingrui was caught by this little thing when he was secretly stealing someone's purse?

I don't know whose money it is taking out.

Luo Yu opened it and took a look, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This little fellow is clever. He must have taken it out from a yamen runner. Look, it's full of gold leaves and gold beans. No wonder he looked down on the ten taels of silver I gave him."

"Damn it, he doesn't even like it and yet he dares to stuff it into his arms."

Qin Bingrui opened what he had taken out and saw that it was made entirely of gold leaves. It was light and thin and easy to carry. If it were filled with silver ingots, how many could it hold?

Luo Yu stuck out her tongue. It seemed that her social experience was still not rich enough.

Bai Lingyi poked his head out and said with a smile, "I just saw the little monkey trying to grab another fierce yamen runner, but I won't tell you."

"You're so good! When we get into the city, I'll buy you and Monkey some delicious food."

"Sister, let's give the monkey a name. It's better to call him Monkey."

Bai Lingyi picked up the monkey and said, "This little guy needs to be taught a lesson. He can't just take anyone's money. Otherwise, won't everyone have to go to jail for him in turn?"

Luo Yu couldn't help but smile. How could they not feel like strangers after just knowing each other for so long?

"Okay, call me whatever you want!"

"Monkeys are lively, cute, and smart. They deserve a nice and poetic name."

"Let's call him Goku. If that doesn't work, then call him Goten and Gohan." Qin Bingrui couldn't stand giving a monkey such a poetic name.

"Taoism believes that before heaven and earth existed, there was no sky or earth, no yin or yang, no form or shape, and nature was empty and mysterious. This is the origin of Taoism. Let's call it the Monkey's Enlightenment to Heaven."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "That's fine. The master that Wukong worshipped at the beginning, Bodhi Patriarch, was indeed a Taoist. So if Wukong is considered a Taoist, then our Wutian should also be a Taoist."

Bai Lingyi was curious: "What is the relationship between Wukong and Wutian?"

"It's very relevant. This story begins with a magical stone on the summit of Flower-Fruit Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou..."

Qin Bingrui began to talk incessantly all the way, telling Bai Lingyi the story of Journey to the West.

Bai Lingyi's eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and his face flushed red. This was the most interesting mythological story he had ever heard.

Unfortunately, more than half an hour had passed and it was already past the hour of You. Sister Luo Qie said that they had to find the White Tiger first, and only then did he come out of his thoughts from the story of Sun Wukong.

After Xia Liang asked his lackeys to drive the carriage to a forest 15 miles away, Xia Liang fled into the forest on his own, leaving only his lackeys and the carriage waiting in the forest for the people behind to catch up.

Several yamen runners chased after him, but the man disappeared.

The forest was extremely dark. Xia Liang climbed up a big tree and looked at the path he came from.

Until I saw Sister Luo Yu and her group’s carriage slowly approaching.

"Sister Luo Yu, are you sure Bai Hu will be here?"

Bai Lingyi increasingly felt that Baihu was particularly human-like, and she and Sister Luo Yu seemed to have a tacit understanding.

"It's the only place with mountains and forests. Besides, I've shown her the map, and Xia Liang has a very good memory."

"Baihu can also understand maps?" Bai Lingyi felt that his brain was not enough.

Luo Yu patted his protruding head and nodded, "So, after being with us for a long time, animals will become smarter. Xiao Yi will become even smarter in the future."

Qin Bingrui: “Hahahaha”, Sister Luo Yu knows how to talk nonsense seriously.

It was said that the yamen runners had not left. Luo Yu looked at the dense forest around him, then at the sky which was getting dark, and estimated that it was already the hour of Xu.

She asked Xiaoyi and his mother Fang to sit in the carriage and closed the door tightly. She looked at Qin Bingrui and both of them held the weapons they were carrying tightly.

Fang felt the subtle change in the atmosphere. She held Xiaoyi's hand tightly. Xiaoyi sat up straight. He was more afraid that something might happen to Sister Luo Hong and Brother Bingrui.

The group of yamen runners were indeed hiding at the entrance of the path leading to the woods. They changed their clothes, covered their faces, and joined up with another group of men in black in the woods.

I had thought of setting up checkpoints so that the Bai family would continue to take the small path, and then I would catch them all in one fell swoop. I didn't expect that their lost carriage would come to the door by itself. It was very interesting.

Xia Liang sighed. There were fifteen or sixteen bandits in this group, and they didn't look like masters. They didn't seem to be targeting money or him. So it could only be Sister Luo Hong or Madam Bai and Brother Bai?

Sister Luo Yu’s identity shouldn’t be exposed so quickly, so this group of people is here to wipe out Madam Bai’s family?

Thinking of this, Baihu shuddered. Damn it, even if they were all family members, they would still kill them all? The ancient palace fighting was indeed too exciting.

The young master of the Bai family's eldest branch is not dead yet, and the second master of the Bai family is unhappy every day. In the last assassination, Ma San escaped, and the others went their separate ways. One of them was captured by the people sent by the second master. After many inquiries, they only confirmed that the young lady and the maid of the Bai family jumped into the valley and died. But not long after, news came about the whereabouts of Mrs. Bai, Miss Bai, and Young Master Bai in Tianbao County.

The second master was worried about whether the young lady of the Bai family was dead or not.

But this is not important. The people sent by the second master got in touch with the yamen runners in Liangzhou City and let several killers sneak into the yamen runners. They first identified the Bai family by checking their household registration and passes and did not allow them to enter the city. If they entered Liangzhou City, there would be more trouble.

Hearing that Miss Bai was indeed dead, he thought that although someone had replaced Miss Bai, Mrs. Bai might take her daughter's body with her on the road. If an unidentified body was found, she would directly convict them and then find a way to take them all to the woods and deal with them secretly.

If nothing was found, the Bai family would probably not dare to take the official road and would definitely take the small road to avoid the later inspection.

The men in black sent by the second master thought they had planned everything out, but the Bai family did not play by the rules and their carriage ran into the mountains.

This is better. They just need to sit back and wait for the Bai family to take the bait.

"Boss, you said this empty carriage came here by itself. Is there really a body inside?"

"You're the one! The body rots, and we didn't smell anything when we checked just now. That means there's nothing there."

"Boss, is that unoccupied carriage filled with gold, silver, jewelry, or something? Should we go check it out?"

"They are here. Stop talking nonsense and kill them. Both carriages are ours."

Qin Bingrui pulled the reins and stopped the carriage. The man in black immediately rushed out of the forest and attacked first without saying anything.
