Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

The two got on the mule cart and put on their ugly costumes as soon as they left town.

They transformed into two men with terrifying scars on their faces, dark skin, and fierce-looking features, dressed in dark, worn-out clothes.

Then take out the bow and arrows and carry them on your back. This series of actions should be enough to fool at least half of those with ulterior motives.

Before dawn, the heatwave began to roll in.

"The sun has only been up for a short while, and the heat is already hitting us. It must be so much hotter down here than up in the mountains."

"Sis, judging from this situation, by noon we'll probably be roasted alive. Let Peach rest for a bit and have some water, then we'd better hurry up and leave."

Peach wasn't tired after running for a while, but she was so hot that she stuck out her tongue and kept humming.

Lin Chunyi stopped the car and got out, feeding Taozi more water and brown rice.

They drank a few sips of plum juice and then continued on their way to the county town.

Aside from a few more carriages and pedestrians than usual, there was nothing else different along the way.

Lin Lanshan then took over driving. She took a bite of her rice ball and asked, "Sister, how did your visit to the clinic go? How much does this ginseng cost?"

"This one has four leaves, which means it has been growing for at least five years."

Now is a time when some precious medicinal herbs are scarce, so the price is higher than before, around 80 or 90 taels.

Let's go to the county seat and see if we can sell it for a higher price.

"We dug them up in the mountains, so it's practically free. If we can still sell them for this much money, I think it's already great."

The peaches ran swiftly along the wide official road, and in less than half an hour, they were almost at Yuanfeng County.

"Who are you? Who sent you?" A woman's angry shout suddenly came from the distant woods.

Highway robbery? Hiring a hitman?

The two sisters exchanged a glance: We can't afford to mess with them, let's get out of here!

Then a rough voice replied:

“Someone offered us a thousand taels of silver to take Zhao Zongyue’s wife and child away. If you want to blame someone, blame him for meddling in other people’s business and offending them!”

The other woman's voice trembled slightly.

"How dare you! You know they are the county magistrate's family members, yet you still dare to rob them!"

If you leave now, you might still have a chance to survive!

"Stop talking nonsense and come with us obediently, or we'll make sure your beautiful lady and handsome young master suffer a bit, hahaha..."

"Brothers, a thousand taels of silver are right in front of us! If we pull this off, we'll be set for life! Let's go!"

Then a lot of people responded with shouts.

"Mother..." a little boy called out timidly.

Another man called out, "Spring Rain, Winter Snow, take good care of the lady and the young master!"

Immediately following were the sounds of weapons clashing and a group of people fighting together.

Zhao Zongyue? The people kidnapped in the woods were Magistrate Zhao's wife and son?

If they hadn't heard this, they would have run far away by now.

Tsk, it's a pity I heard it now, this is going to be difficult.

Magistrate Zhao gave them those two books and those two weapons, which was a great favor to them.

His family can't just stand by and do nothing...

Fine!

Go up and check the situation. If you can help, then help! Consider it repaying Magistrate Zhao for his kindness to them.

The two sisters glanced at each other again, nodded in unison, and then got out of the car.

Lin Chunyi calmed Taozi down and told it to be quiet, then led it to a tree by the roadside.

Rushing in directly is out of the question; who knows if those two can even win? We need to observe first.

If they can win, they'll go for it. If they can't... well, they'll have to repay Magistrate Zhao's kindness another time.

Fortunately, the trees nearby had enough foliage to conceal the woman's figure.

They gently put down their baskets, then, carrying their bows and arrows, climbed up two large trees that were close together.

The two of them clearly saw a carriage in the woods.

Two pretty maids, probably not even twenty years old, stood in front of the carriage.

They were somewhat panicked, and their bodies were trembling. But they still held tightly to protect the two people behind them.

The two people standing close to the carriage behind him must be Magistrate Zhao's wife and son.

The lady was beautiful and dressed in finery. Her eyes betrayed unease, yet she tried her best to remain calm.

The other was a little boy of about ten years old, with fair and delicate features, whom she had her arms around...

To be honest, it was probably because the two sisters heard that this was Magistrate Zhao's son that they thought the child looked just like his father in every way.

Two groups of people were engaged in a fierce battle in a large open space in front of the carriage.

It was less a chaotic battle and more a fight between overwhelming odds.

One group consisted of ten men dressed in gray shirts and short jackets, looking like beggars, and carrying knives!

The other group consisted of men dressed in dark blue guard uniforms, fighting fiercely with swords in hand. They were both quite resolute, but unfortunately there were only two of them.

While these beggars were not as skilled in martial arts as the two guards, they were still quite capable.

But they were ruthless, each move deadly. They also rotated their fighters, using a war of attrition.

Sure enough, the two guards couldn't hold on for long. One of them didn't react in time and was stabbed by the beggar leader, then kicked two meters away.

The guard got up in a disheveled state, staggered a few steps, and knelt on the ground with one hand supporting himself on his sword, while the other hand tightly clutched his abdomen.

The blood flowing from the wound was unstoppable, staining a large area of ​​the blue clothes darker.

He shouted resolutely back:

"Spring Rain, Winter Snow, quickly take the lady and young master away!!!" Then, sword in hand, he charged back into the crowd.

The two maids hurriedly helped the lady and the child into the carriage.

"..."

Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan really didn't want to ruin such a dangerous and perilous scene...

But they are! They really can't help but want to vent their frustrations:

No... is something missing from these people's brains?

Since these two guards are going to fight this group of beggars,

Why didn't they drive away as soon as the fight started?

They just stood there dumbfounded, only leaving when the guards were about to give up.

They can escape like this; the two sisters can take the surname of these idiots!

Lin Lanshan muttered to herself, "Could it be that these two maids can't drive and can't get away?"

Then they saw the two maids take turns trying, their movements almost identical: clumsily reaching for the reins and shouting:

"Giddy up! Run! Run!"

Tears welled up in their eyes, but the horse wouldn't move an inch and even shook its head in frustration.

Well... even if they can't drive, they can still use their legs to run!

They should be watching dangerous and exciting scenes, not such absurd and ridiculous ones!

The two guards were about to give up, and the carriage was not moving at all.

Looks like we need to save them quickly.

If they wait until the other guard falls before they make their move... then they'll definitely have to go all the way and become laborers for this group, driving the carriage!

I'm a bit busy today, so I can't keep up.

Chapter Two might not be ready in time (? ? ?? )

I'll try my best, but if I still can't catch up...

I'll definitely make it up to everyone tomorrow! (ノ′?`)
