Chapter 74 Coincidence
"Master, we used to go through those deep mountains and old forests that have been rumored to be dangerous, and it was not as thrilling as last night."

Both places are covered with secretly planted trees, some of which are decorated with green leaves, which look very bleak in the cold winter. An Xu was sitting in the carriage, and he was glad to hear the attendants of the Shen family chattering in front of him.

"Master, in the middle of the night, how did you become aware of the plans of the women of the Duan family---"

"Shut up", this time he was stopped before finishing his sentence.

Dong Lou saw that his young master was really annoyed, and quickly stopped talking, but after a while he couldn't help but said: "Master, are we still going back to Beijing? If we don't, we will be on the road this year."

Shen Xiao didn't miss or look forward to his family at all. He finally persuaded his old grandmother to come out for a study tour. He really didn't want to go back and listen to his stepmother's eccentricities during the New Year's festival.

A piece of good food, or even a dish, can become an excuse for his stepmother to complain to his father and play tricks in the backyard. The Shen family is not home to him, but a battlefield full of disgusting smells.

However, there are still grandparents who sheltered him growing up.

So I have to go back.

"I went to Chaoyang County to visit my uncle and grandpa first, and brought some special products from my hometown to my grandmother, then I will go back." Shen Xiao said, and was about to rein in the horse, but he looked back, hesitated for a while, and turned the horse's head.

"Old man," Shen Xiao parked the revolving horse a few feet away from the carriage, and looked at the carriageway: "Let's leave here, people in the lower capital, if you have a chance to enter the city, you can go to the Shen residence on Kangyou Street in the inner city Find me."

Fang Bo is a good person, knowing that the young master from the capital city said all these things, he asked the big lady in the car to listen, and after a while after the person finished speaking, he said: "That is really appreciated by you, let's remember."

Seeing that the carriage had not moved, Shen Xiao raised his fist, turned around and rode away on the horse.

"Master, wait for me." Dong Lou, who was letting the horse gnaw the hay on the roadside, hurriedly grabbed the rein of the horse and chased after him.

Riding a horse is faster than driving a cart, especially on the uneven mountain roads that are just wide enough for a carriage to drive.

After a burst of smoke, the two horses in front disappeared.

Fang Bo said to An Xu in the car: "That young master is really polite."

It's just that they stayed at the same farmhouse for one night, and they even reported their home when they left.

An Xu said: "Perhaps the upbringing of the rich family is like this."

Uncle Fang smiled. He suspected that something happened last night, but Dani didn't show anything. He was an uncle across the room, so it was really hard for him to ask more questions.

"Fang Bo, how long is this mountain road?"

The carriage rumbled forward, and An Xu, who was on such a bad road, could barely sit down.

Fang Bo said: "It's more than a dozen miles. I walked it once when I was young, but judging from the road conditions, it hasn't changed much. If I remember correctly, the second half of the journey will be much easier."

"Shut up!"

Two horses walked seven or eight li in a quarter of an hour, the one in front stopped first, Dong Lou also stopped the horse quickly, turned around and said, "Young master, what's the matter?"

Shen Xiao glanced at the high hillsides on the left and right, and all he could see were bushes and dry grass. This was the best ambush site as the military strategists said, and the fire attack would not cost a single soldier.

A gust of cold wind blew past, shaking the twigs on the side of the road, Shen Xiao frowned slightly, and suddenly he said: "I forgot something at that farmhouse, go back and get it."

Donglou muttered endlessly, escaped with great difficulty, and we didn't bring any valuables with markings on us, forget it if you forget it, what should we do if we can't get out when we go back?
But he only muttered in his heart, and walked back closely.

The two people who were squatting in a dense clump of wooden slats about 300 meters ahead were a little anxious when they saw the two who were about to come back and returned.

"How did they pass by?" A man with several black marks on his face patted his legs and regretted.

The person next to him was calm, and said: "If you go back, you can't get there before the carriage comes."

"Ba Ye, are you sure that is the carriage?" Hei Pozi asked.

Brother Ba nodded, joking, he came right after receiving the news, and he didn't know who the An family siblings had offended?He even inquired about them.

Those brothers were afraid, but he was not. How easy it is to kill one or two people in this place.As long as they walk past that boundary marker, they will be at the boundary of Chaoyang County.

Two people from Chipu County died on the boundary of Chaoyang County. If it's Chinese New Year's Eve, the two counties will probably refuse to take care of it.

Lu Ba's only worry is that someone will pass by.

He stroked the big knife resting on the back of his head, and smiled sinisterly.

No matter who passes by, his knife will scare people away.

Here, Uncle Fang heard the sound of horseshoes, and after turning a corner, it was the master and servant who came back again. He couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Master Shen, who are you?"

Shen Xiao said: "This mountain road is long and narrow, it's more dangerous for one or two people to walk, let's go together."

Donglou: Didn't you forget something in Duan's house?
An Xu lifted the curtains of the car, and said to the front: "Then thank you, Young Master Shen, for your righteousness."

In fact, since she got up early this morning, her right eyelid kept twitching, but she agreed to pick up Zhao Cheng and his grandma, and she couldn't go back just because of a little hesitation.

Now that there are two people who seem to be able to fight together, I feel at ease.

Half an hour later, two horses came up with a cart behind, Hei Tiaozi excitedly said: "Brother Ba, Brother Ba, it's their carriage."

Lu Ba sat up abruptly, looked down with the big knife in his hand, and cursed, "Damn it. What a coincidence?"

"Is it still a robbery?" Hei Tiaozi was a little apprehensive, even if the person who secretly looked for them was willing to pay dozens of taels to help them kill the ignorant An Dani, it was still a human life.

What's more, there are two more young and strong passers-by, I'm afraid they can't be invisible as they planned before.

Lu Ba tightened and loosened the knife in his hand, his gaze flashed back when it fell on a quiver hanging from a horse's buttocks, and he said bitterly, "Let them pass."

"There is no good ambush path ahead," Hei Pozi paused, "Should we go back? Anyway, the person who asked us to do business is hiding his head and showing his tail, so he must be afraid of being discovered. Even if we don't do business, we will give it to him yesterday." I can't ask for my fifty-two deposit back."

"You can get 50 taels if you get things done." Lu Ba slapped the kid, lowered his voice and looked at the path below, "I've decided on the money."

Just as Lu Ba watched unwillingly as the two horses and one cart were about to pass by on the road, there was a rumbling sound like the snoring of some giant beast. The valleys trembled.

No, to be precise, the entire area of ​​a hundred miles was vibrated.

In Linhe Village, about a hundred miles away, Zong Che, who was copying books in his room, stood up abruptly, but the slight shock just now was only felt for a moment, and soon calmed down.

It seemed that the slight vibration just now was just an illusion, but Zong Che would never take it as an illusion. He carefully recalled the inclination of the momentary vibration just now, and looked to the northwest direction all of a sudden.

Chaoyang County is just to the northwest of Jipu County. The vibration he could feel probably came from a place not too far away. She will be fine.

Thinking of this possibility, Zong Che fidgeted and couldn't do anything.

In the yard, I was helping my elder brother to refill the sugar cane rice fragrance in the broken box. I looked suspiciously at the young master who suddenly ran out and stood still in the yard, and whispered: "Young master, do you want something?" ?”

Zong Che threw down the sentence "you take care of your home", ran into the house, took the money he had saved in the daily life, and went out.

Because during this period of time, he hardly needed to buy paper and pens himself, and she often bought a lot of them before they were used up. Not only was he not as short of money for copying books as before, but he had accumulated a lot of money.

At the same time, An Xu jumped out of the carriage amidst the fluctuations on the ground, reminding Fang Bo to find a cover, but damn it, it's a coincidence that they walked to this place.

There are slopes on both sides, and the slopes are full of long smooth evergreen shrubs. They vibrate together, and the soil falls straight down from the top, big and small.

If I want to say a word of luck, there are no stones that rolled down.

For the current plan, it seems that the only way to drive the carriage forward is to run out of the road before it is buried.

Or climb up the slopes on both sides.

An Xu thought about the best way quickly, and then heard two shouts like killing pigs, and two adult strong men rolled through the bushes and fell down like balls.

During an earthquake, this relatively steep slope is untenable.

Suddenly, a big warm hand grabbed An Xu's, and she raised her head to meet Shen Xiao's eyes.

"Get on the horse, we have to get out of this place as soon as possible." Shen Xiao said, but the horse under his crotch turned back and forth restlessly, twisting his head as if looking for a way out.

An Xu said "wait a minute", then pulled his hand away, and under Shen Xiao's surprised eyes, he ran to the side of a big man who had finally rolled to the bottom of the mountain with the clod, and snatched the big knife that was tightly held in his hand. on a person's neck.

"You look familiar." When An Xu saw this person, he recognized him. Wasn't he one of the guys who followed a black boss and ran to the official road to "ask" for her prescription?

A few days ago, someone went to her house to ask her younger brother for money.

"Brother Zhou and you are on the same team, right? You really treat us as siblings to be bullied?" An Xu pressed the knife in his hand tighter against the man's neck.

Lu Ba almost peed his pants, is this woman still human?The hills couldn't stop rolling down the dirt, and the ground shook and she couldn't stand still. She shook her hand and wiped her own neck!

"Grandma, please forgive me. It's not that the little one wants to target you. Someone knew that we were not happy with your siblings, and asked our boss to do it for you. Our boss said, this can't be done, we are all friends. So let I pretended to take the money, and came here to find out what was going on?"

The crisis stimulated Lu Ba's speech ability, and a person who usually struggled to make up a lie said so many impeccable words in one breath.

But it was just what he thought was watertight.

An Xu smiled and said, "Is that so? Should I still thank you for visiting secretly?"

As she said that, she stood up suddenly, swung the big knife, and when the light of the knife flashed by, Lu Ba and his younger brother who was shivering and hiding aside all screamed.

"Uncle Fang, go on horseback."

An Xu just cut off the noose on the carriage, and then looked at Lu Ba who was so frightened that he lost control, "I'll keep your knife, if you still have your life to go back, don't forget to tell the person who came looking for you, and you will come back." Said that I have been killed by you."

There is no need to ask, An Xu knows who this secret person is, but she does not plan to report to the police this time, she wants to let Lu Ningxin steal a chicken without losing a grain of rice.

Thinking of Lu Ningxin's earnest attitude towards Zhao Chengna, An Xu added: "Also, let me add that a child and an old lady in my car were also killed by you."

Lu Ba trembled, before he came, he had never thought that Xiao Chongzi's sister could be such a monster, he nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, but he was worried that this matter would not be done well, so she found it again and gave him a knife , tremblingly said: "What if the person in the dark doesn't believe it."

"Do you want a token?" It's easy to say, An Xu directly pulled off the earrings from his ears and threw them on Lu Ba, "If they don't believe it, give them this."

This pair of earrings was always carried by An Xu. They were cheap and had no special features, but they should be familiar to Lu Ningxin who had met them once before.

These reborn people have a common problem, that is, self-confidence. An Xu is [-]% sure, and Lu Ningxin will not doubt it.

"Let's go." At this time, her hand was grabbed by the big warm hand again, and she was brought onto the horse's back, and then galloped forward on the swaying ground.

Shen Xiao's horse was a divine horse given to him by his grandfather. Although he was shocked by the situation, he was not at all ambiguous when he led his master to seek a way out.

Soon, the two caught up with Fang Bo and Dong Lou who had just walked towards this side.

Shen Xiao suddenly turned around and said, "Hurry up."

An Xu hummed, and put the big knife he had been holding between the two of them, and instead of holding the other person's clothes with one hand, he hugged the other person's waist directly with both hands.

Shen Xiao froze for a moment, and then it was amused. After noticing the slight trembling from the woman behind him, he smiled and said, "So you are still afraid."

An Xu was silent, and reminded loudly: "Watch the road."

Another burst of dense soil clods fell with the bushes in front, already flooding the road several feet, Shen Xiao laughed and yelled "drive".

Dodging left and right like this, they finally saw the end of the col road after a quarter of an hour. At the end was an open flat land, and there was a village further away.

An Xu seemed to hear the sound of people shouting to escape.

The horse got out of Ao Road, and the vibration that lasted for more than 20 minutes also stopped.

An Xu looked back and saw that the path behind her had increased by more than half a meter after the shock, and she couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Shen Xiao helped An Xu get down first, and then got off the horse by himself, and said, "Generally, the earth dragon will continue to turn over. Let's not hurry today."

An Xu thought the same way, but when she looked at the smoky village not far away, she was really worried about Zhao Cheng's grandparents.

Fang Bo got off his horse with trembling legs. If Donglou hadn't come to help him, he would have fallen straight down. He wiped off the dirt on his face, looked at the gloomy and low sky, and said, "This is because the heavens are angry. Ah, I don’t know what’s going on in our Jipu County?”

 There is no specific update time, it is usually updated around [-] am, and sometimes it will be updated at night.
