Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 110 It Gets Dark Early 【Two in One】

Fang Yao and the young and old in Lijia Village saw for the first time what it means to know the way of an old horse.

The black horse that Fan Chen rode and the big maroon horse that pulled the carriage should be a pair, as soon as the two horses met, they rubbed each other like no one else.

"Mu, Mr. Mu is also following us?"

A Wu Niang leaned over and looked at the big carriage brought by Fan Chen with bright eyes.

Fan Chen glanced at Fang Yao with a little complacency, then looked at A Wu Niang, and praised insincerely: "Mother, you still remember that I am Mr. Mu, you have a really good memory."

The praised A Wu Niang was very enthusiastic, she just wanted to lift the curtain of the four-wheeled carriage and peek inside, but Fan Chen stopped her with a long arm.

"Ma'am, I'm a little tired, I don't want to disturb me, the meal will be ready later, can you save some for me?" Fan Chen took out a piece of silver.

A Wu Niang took the broken silver, smiled flatteringly until there were a few more creases on her face, pinched her throat and said in a soft voice: "Master Mu, I, my family will definitely remember, you should go and rest quickly."

Everyone's scalps trembled numbly.

Fan Chen twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, and then got into the carriage.

Fang Yao withdrew her gaze and picked up the map in her hand again.

It is a map, but it is actually a map of several routes leading to the capital, and the names of some counties along the way.

If there is a place not passed by, it is blank, and the special road section is not marked, so Li Fugui wanted to take a shortcut at first, but he didn't know that there was a large section of stone steps for climbing the mountain.

Not to mention the accuracy, it must be inaccurate.

That's it, most people can't get it, and the magistrate Zhang of Liyang County gave her two copies in total, which are specially for those scholars in Liyang County who are going to Beijing to take the exam.

Fang Yao asked Li Fugui to put away the map, and said: "Patriarch, Big Brother Yang used to be a bodyguard teacher, and he traveled all over the world and traveled to many places. You can ask him if you encounter anything you don't understand."

Mentioning this, Li Fugui couldn't help but look back. He originally thought that Yang Gao was the village tyrant who colluded with the head of Xihe village to cheat money, but he didn't expect that he had some skills.

"Master, I understand, thanks to Master Yang and his bravery today, otherwise we would all be in danger..." Li Fugui was deeply moved.

Fang Yao was in a complicated mood, and the people in Lijia Village probably wouldn't know that they were all being targeted.

Until now, Li Fugui thought those masked men were robbers.

She is not a very kind person, but she can't hide such a terrible thing from the people of Li Family Village against her conscience.

Fang Yao whispered with some difficulty: "Patriarch, these people may be killers, and they should be targeting me."

Li Fugui paused, and after a while, he whispered worriedly: "Master, you also found out..."

"Uh-huh?"

and also?
Fang Yao's eyes widened, she was shocked and said, "You know that too?!"

Li Fugui nodded, glanced at Fan Chen's carriage, and the two of them walked a few steps away knowingly.

"Master, we've all heard about the spirit soldier. You accidentally ruined the villain's conspiracy. Can you not be hated..."

It turned out that after she was taken away by Chu Xihou's people, the people in Lijia Village got together and made various guesses.

Li Fugui and the others are from the mountains and have little knowledge, but they are not fools.

With the old carpenter's suggestion, everyone guessed that Fang Yao had offended someone when she was eliminating the demon, and she was given a black hat.

After Fang Yao came out, Li Fugui was still worried. After thinking about it, he asked an old carpenter to quietly build a dozen bows and crossbows, and hid them in the storage box at the bottom of the car, just in case.

"I was still thinking about how to tell you at that time, but I never thought about it, it will come in handy so soon." Li Fugui's face was full of pride of "I really have the foresight".

Fang Yao was dumbfounded.

It turned out that everyone knew it well, but they just kept it from her, and didn't want her to be frightened...

She couldn't laugh or cry, looked at the proud little old man in front of her, and said helplessly: "Aren't you afraid of such a dangerous thing..."

The old carpenter was also courageous and fat, and he dared to accept this request.

Li Fugui smacked his lips and said: "I'm afraid, it's all fake to say I'm not afraid, just thinking about the scene in the daytime makes my legs go weak, but thinking about these people harming the master, we can bear it!"

Fang Yao's eyes became hot, and her throat felt a little choked. After a while, she said as calmly as possible: "Brother Yang is good at martial arts, let him teach us some martial arts skills in the future."

"Success!" Li Fugui's face was full of joy, "Let's not talk about becoming a peerless master, at least we must become more and more powerful, so that those people will be afraid when they see it!"

"Ok!"

The two talked for a few more words, and someone called Li Fugui over there, and the latter left in a hurry.

Fang Yao came out from behind the carriage and looked up at the sky. Under the mask, the whole sky was a little gray, but the sun was pale and pale.

But her mood suddenly brightened because of Li Fugui's few words.

Even the shadow of being targeted and hunted down has dissipated.

"I want to be stronger!"

she whispered to herself.

After being delayed by the masked man, they will not be able to leave today, and the two horse meat alone will not be processed in a short while.

In order not to attract the attention of passers-by on the official road, they moved the convoy to the dry forest, where there is a river not far away.

Li Fugui was busy asking people to set up a pot to boil water, sharpening his knife.

Fortunately, they walked slowly and were not far from Zhenyang County. A Wu and another member of the Li clan who had learned how to ride horses rushed back to buy a hundred catties of salt.

If it weren't for the salt they brought now, there would probably be very little left of the nearly thousand kilograms of horse meat after salting.

Li Dazhu, a hunter in the village, is not only good at archery and hunting, but also good at handling fur.

Li Fugui specifically asked him to deal with the two dead horses, and also sent several young people to help.

In addition to these, the dozens of holes in the carriages of the ox carts behind were damaged by arrows shot by the masked men, and they also needed to be repaired.

The reason why Fang Yao and the others were not injured was also related to their habit of forming a large semi-circle every time they stopped the carriage, with their backs facing the official road.

A dozen carriages form a defensive wall invisible.

"Ah, fortunately, our master had the foresight to ask someone to thicken the carriage, otherwise it would be really scary." Gouwaniang pulled out the arrows stuck outside the carriage one by one, and looked at the holes on it. Talk quietly with others.

The bystanders said proudly: "Yes, those robbers must have never imagined that our carriage has three layers of boards, and their arrows only penetrated into the first layer."

Fang Yao, who was wearing a mask, listened to all these words, her face felt a little hot.

The men, women and children of Lijia Village are also true. They clearly knew that she heard that the winter in the north was too cold, so they deliberately thickened and strengthened the carriage.

This also has to be praised, and it is a bit embarrassing to make her so thick-skinned.

But...she loves to hear...

Originally, most of these carriages were made of large hollowed-out wooden railings. At her insistence, except for the doors and windows, other places were built on the original basis, with a layer of solid wooden boards added inside and outside.

Almost all of these holes are driven into the first layer of wood, just need to get some isingas glue to plug the holes.

This thing is made of fish bubbles, and it is specially used to repair cracks in wood. The old carpenter gave them both unused cans before leaving.

Gouwa's father is very interested in carpentry. When the old carpenter came to work, he secretly learned a little bit from the side. Now he is rushing to show off the work of repairing the holes in the carriage.

Fang Yao went to have a look and laughed: "Don't say it, daddy Gouwa, you've done a really good job."

Gouwa's father blushed with joy, "Master, I can still change the wheels, and leave all these to me from now on!"

The Gouwa Niang at the side also had a look of color on her face, her man was praised by the master, and she also had a bright face.

After everyone had settled everything, the sky was dark.

"Why is it getting dark so early today?"

Li Fugui looked up at the sky, a little puzzled.

A Wu Niang sat on the ponytail and taught Erya how to twist the hemp rope. Hearing the words, she turned her head and said, "When it's cold, it gets dark early, so there's no fuss."

"You mother-in-law know very well, go rub your rope, those marinated meat will be taken out to dry in a few days."

Li Fugui yelled: "It's time to cook the fire, everyone has been busy all day in shock, the master told us to have a good meal!"

The men and children cheered, and the women laughed too.

Everyone is lighting lamps and chopping vegetables.

Because I had just dealt with the horse, it would be a pity to throw away the bones, so I used part of it for dinner and stewed two large pots of bone soup.

As for the meals, white flour is used to paste water, and the lumps are put into the hot soup without even adding oil, a layer of oil floats on the soup noodles, and after cooking for a while, the aroma is overflowing.

Yang Gao had medicine on his back shoulder and was resting in the car with a bandage on, but he smelled the smell and couldn't sit still any longer, so he rushed out.

"Hey, hey, you are so fat..."

A Wu Niang has been sitting on the pony and watching him, and when she saw him coming, she hurriedly got up to stop him.

Halfway through the conversation, she suddenly remembered the brave figure of Yang Gao fighting the robbers, and changed her words, "Brother Yang family, this is not cooked yet, our master said, the meat must be cooked thoroughly to eat."

Seeing that Yang Gao didn't listen to her explanation and came out to eat meat in such a hurry, Jiang frowned displeased, thinking that her sister actually likes this...

She couldn't help but said: "Brother Yang, it's best not to move the wound on your body. I will send it to you naturally after the meal is over."

Yang Gao didn't think too much about it, he just looked at the pot with a little disappointment, and then reluctantly returned to the cart.

Everyone outside has been busy for a long time, and now they are waiting for dinner, so they are all free.

As the night wind blew, the flames in the custom-made iron stove fluttered out, almost jumping onto the cauldron.

"Hiss...why does it seem to be a bit colder today?"

"I also think, could it be that the wind blows you out of sweat just now?"

"Probably, I have to put on some clothes in the car. If I catch the wind and cold, I will be in serious trouble."

However, Fang Yao, who was sitting in the carriage, looked solemn.

Still wearing the mask, she was raising the curtains and looking up at the sky, and she had been in this position for nearly an hour.

"Auntie, what are you looking at?"

The little girl who had been watching horse slaughter with Dabao and the others for a long time crawled to her side and tugged at her sleeves.

Fang Yao twisted her sore neck, hugged the little girl, and put her hand into her back to feel it, but luckily she didn't sweat much.

"I didn't see anything, is the meal ready yet?"

When the little girl lifted the curtain just now, a gust of cool wind came in, and it seemed to be colder than before.

The little girl nodded: "Okay, mother told me to come back and get the bowl, so I can do things now."

Fang Yao took out a small coat and put it on for her, gently pinched her little face, and said with a smile: "Well, my little sister has grown up, and she has grown flesh."

"Auntie, let's go out to eat."

The little girl was holding a few new wooden bowls and calling her happily.

Fang Yao carried her out, and the outside was already extremely lively.

Everyone lined up around the cauldron, and the big-headed wife and A Wu Niang were in charge of cooking.

"Master, come quickly, I'll call you first!"

As soon as A Wu Niang saw her, she hurriedly waved a big spoon and shouted.

Everyone didn't mind, they all smiled and let her come first.

Fang Yao waved her hand and said, "Give it to our great hero who was injured today first."

So, Mrs. Jiang brought over a soup bowl that was bigger than a wooden basin for washing her face...

Two big vats of gnocchi in bone broth, everyone ate to their heart's content.

Even Dabao and Xiaomei ate two small bowls, and their stomachs almost swelled into balls.

Not to mention Yang Gao, who ate three big bowls by himself.

When serving him for the third time, Jiang Shi, who has always been calm and gentle, looked unacceptable.

Most of them drank the soup and surrounded the stove, and many people even sweated after eating.

"Ouch, I shouldn't have worn too much, my underwear is all sweaty right now."

"Me too……"

Fang Yao was thinking about the weird sky just now, and when she saw that everyone was taking off their clothes, she hurriedly shouted: "Don't take off your clothes indiscriminately, go back to the car after sweating and wipe it off with a sweat towel, the weather is not good tonight." It's normal, be careful if you get sick."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Ah, abnormal?"

"It seems to be a little bit. In autumn, the temperature usually drops at night. Today, the daytime is more sunny than yesterday, but it turns cold in the evening."

"Whatever it is, the master doesn't tell you to take off your clothes, you can put them on quickly."

Everyone laughed again.

Li Fugui thought of something, walked up to Fang Yao, lowered his voice and said: "Master, the sun seems to be setting early this afternoon, could it be that some monster has been discovered?"

Fang Yao frowned.

For the time being, nothing has changed in her brochure.

Moreover, it is not clear whether what was discovered has any connection with the monster.

She lowered her voice: "Actually, the sun didn't set very early today, it was just blocked."

Li Fugui's eyes widened in shock, "Could it be, could it be that there's another plague of locusts?"

"No, something happened in the north."

"what……"

The sky, which had always been only light gray, suddenly darkened.

Fang Yao was wearing a mask, so she could see clearly. A large black mist covering the sky and the sun poured out from the north, slowly covering the sun.

According to the height of the sun in the sky at that time, it should be Shen time in the afternoon, which is around four o'clock.

And even though the sky was getting dark, she could still vaguely see the sun behind the black mist.

It's always there, just blocked until it actually falls.

Li Fugui said anxiously: "Something happened in the north, can we still go?"

"Go, you must go."

Suddenly, Fan Chen's slightly hoarse voice came from the four-wheeled carriage that had been quiet all this time.
