Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 52
It was already afternoon when I returned to the inn, so I didn't rush home at all.

Although it is now a peaceful and prosperous age, there are no bandits and bandits, but the road is difficult to walk, and there is no carriage at night, so they have no choice but to wait until tomorrow morning to set off.

Because a lot of raw materials were ordered, Feng Yuchen wanted to hire a car to go back directly this time.

I just asked a few drivers, and they all said that they only sent the goods to Ningyue Town, and they refused to go to Shanshui Village, saying that they were not familiar with it, and it was already evening when they arrived in Ningyue Town. He can't find his way, what should he do when he comes back?

In the end, they had to compromise, but the freight was really expensive, and it cost a tael of silver to deliver the goods.

All the way to the north, at dusk, they finally arrived at Ningyue Town, Second Brother Liu's carriage happened to pass by, but there were goods in the carriage, he saw Feng Yuchen and Tong Xiaowu and shouted: "I'll be back in half an hour!"

After speaking, I hurried to deliver the goods.

The coachman from the county helped unload the goods from the carriage and left.

It was getting late, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road. People from Shanshui Village who came to the town to go to the market also took the bullock carts from the neighboring villages and returned to the village early. By the Ningshui Bridge, only Feng Yuchen and Tong Xiaowu were waiting for Brother Liu's carriage. .

Finally, from a distance, he heard the ringing of the horse bell, and Second Brother Liu came driving the carriage. His face was covered with sweat, and he said apologetically:
"Aren't you in a hurry? There is a family moving in the town today, so it's a bit busy, come and load the car!"

With that said, Second Brother Liu helped to load all the goods into the car.

"From Yuchen's family, during the four days you were away, I helped to deliver the dolls in the town. I didn't pay the store. Tomorrow, you can pay them yourself. The bill is here..."

Second Brother Liu took out a few slips from his pocket and handed them over: "I don't recognize a few big characters, but I'm good at accounting and I know numbers. You should check it with Mrs. Fulin when you go home."

"Yeah, thank you second brother!" Tong Xiaowu happily took the list, looked at the traditional numbers on it, and found that the sales volume in these four days was about the same as the previous average.

After receiving the order, the three of them rode on the way home in a carriage.

Brother Liu's carriage is different from Bai Zewei's carriage, which can be used for pulling goods and people, while Bai Zewei's carriage is equipped with a shed, and is generally used to carry people.

This road is not close to Shanshui Village, and the sky has already darkened. Apart from the sound of Brother Liu driving the car, there are unknown birds singing in the woods on both sides of the road.

Feng Yuchen stretched out his hand to hold Tong Xiaowu's hand, comforting softly: "It's okay, I'm here!"

Tong Xiaowu nodded, the ancient nights are different from the modern ones, no matter how bad the modern times are, there is still an electric light?
If it weren't for the moonlight, the road could not be seen clearly, and in this wilderness, there is no one's house, it would be even more crazy.

"Yuchen, why do I feel that there are people in the woods?" Tong Xiaowu glanced nervously into the woods by the roadside, and sure enough, there was a figure riding a horse back and forth in the woods.

Feng Yuchen turned her head over and asked her to look at him, "Trust me, it's fine!"

As he said that, Feng Yuchen took out a dagger from his arms and stuffed it into Tong Xiaowu's hand.

So, it wasn't that she was dazzled just now, but someone was really following them, and not following them, but in the woods?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Second Brother Liu yell "Woo..."

He took the reins in his hand, and the carriage stopped.

Looking around, under the moonlight, someone was standing in the middle of the road ahead.

He was holding a long silver knife with a mask on his face, and two figures emerged from the woods on both sides, one holding a long stick and the other holding a kitchen knife.

"I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, you will save money to buy roads..."

The other party shouted in a rough voice, waving the long knife in his hand, and took a few steps forward, and the other two followed him.

"Big Brothers, it's not easy. You can use the money to drink." Second Brother Liu took out the purse from his arms and threw it on the ground in front of him.

He is a carriage driver, and he understands this kind of thing best. Such a person can't be head-to-head. Who knows if there are people hiding in the woods?

Ordinary people will choose to spend money to eliminate disasters, just like what Liu Er chooses now, spending money to buy peace, the most important thing is to save their lives.

In fact, in these years, robbery rarely occurs, but I didn't expect to encounter it tonight.

"Hahaha..." The leader wore a mask and laughed loudly when he heard this, "We can take a fancy to this little money, let's not talk nonsense, tonight the men will save their lives, the women will keep the people, and the horses and vehicles will be kept. The rest...hahaha, it’s all my brothers’.”

"Hey, big brother, that girl is fat and ugly, what's the use of keeping it? No one wants to sell it in the garden..." He opened his mouth with a smile while holding a long stick.

"Leave her to torment and play. Death can't make her die happily. Pull out her tongue and dig out a piece of her flesh every day, making her life worse than death!"

The leading man said sternly, the eyes behind the mask exuded a cold air.

"Okay, let that woman die badly, who made her offend someone? Tsk tsk, look at this cart, it's worth a lot of money!" Another robber patted his horse, his eyes full of greed. color.

It seems that the other party didn't come for money, but for silence.

In the dark night, it was difficult to see the heights and appearances of several people. Brother Liu quietly reached out and untied the rope tied to the shaft of the car, holding a thick stick in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Feng Yuchen's eyes fell on the other side of the car shaft. Sure enough, there was also a stick tied to this side. He stretched out his hand to untie it, and secretly stuffed it into Tong Xiaowu's hand, with a flat tone:
"There are still two people in the forest, Second Brother Liu, be careful."

Since the other party has chosen to die, they cannot be slaughtered.

"Use it, I don't want..." Tong Xiaowu still had a dagger in his hand, if Feng Yuchen gave her all the weapons, how would he protect himself?

"That's too short, you can use this to block it, but don't worry, lady, I won't let them get close to you." Feng Yuchen jumped out of the carriage, and made a dull sound when the crutch in his hand fell to the ground.

"Hahahaha, a cripple who still dares to speak out loudly, my brother and I will depose him today!"

"It's easy to cripple him, brother, don't worry, he will definitely die tonight."

"Let's go up together..."

"it is good!"

The leading robber waved, and the other four rushed over from different directions.

Second brother Liu saw that there were indeed two people in the forest, and he wailed in his heart. The other party was five people, and they only had two men. Feng Yuchen's leg was injured, and walking was a problem, let alone fighting.

　I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, leave a recommendation ticket!
