Chapter 3365 The owner of Xiaoyao Village is a noble person
“We definitely won’t listen. If we keep going, the group of people will continue to shoot arrows at our boat. Speaking of which, I really want to thank the escorts from the escort agency. As expected of a traveling bodyguard team, when the second body floated over, they placed planks of wood in the cabin to block arrows."
"They asked us to hide in the cabin. , they stay outside We were fighting against the river bandits who were approaching our boat. It was already dark and the fighting was crackling outside."
"That group of river bandits had many people. Our escort was almost alone fighting the three. Four dozen, really It’s hard.”
“We old men can’t hide in the cabin anymore, so I discussed with Baozhu Yuzhu and left a few people who were not water-based in the cabin, and everyone else came out. Fight!" Chang Gen said.
Baozhu responded: "Yes, I still remember what Uncle Changgen told me that night. It's a knife for us to stretch our heads, and it's a knife for us to shrink our heads. Let's fight!"
Changgen nodded, and the two When people recall the scene that night, veins bulge, eyes widen, and fists clenched.
As others listened, they felt as if they were actually there.
Both Sun and Osmanthus huddled together, trembling with fear.
Even Yang Ruoqing broke into a cold sweat and looked at Chang Gen without blinking.
Chang Gen said: "Those Jiang bandits are really ruthless. As expected, they make a living by killing people and robbing money every day. They kill people without batting an eye. We hired eight bodyguards, and two of them were killed on the spot, and three others were killed." He was seriously injured."
"There are three left, and that's..."
"And we all have learned a little about staying close to ourselves. The means, but in front of those Jiang bandits, are not enough at all. The number of people is too different, so let’s not talk about it. The main thing is to fight on the boat. The boat is swaying and you can’t stand still..."
< br>"Several of our brothers were injured. Otherwise, we wouldn't have stayed in Xiushui Town for so long just to let them recover from their injuries." Chang Geng said.
Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing stood up excitedly.
"Why didn't you write to me? As the boss, I didn't even know that one of my men was injured!" she said.
This made her conscience uneasy. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Otherwise, she really didn’t know how to explain it to the family members of the team members.
Although, when the transportation team was recruiting people, it was clearly written in black and white that if you have to travel all over the country, there may be casualties on the road due to unsuitable climate or other unpredictable reasons, so the team members must sign when they join the transportation team. In the state of life and death.
But if there were casualties after signing, she still had to bear the blame. Even if the family members of the deceased did not dare to come to her, her conscience would be uneasy!
"Who in our transport team is injured? How is the injury? Tell me quickly!" Yang Ruoqing said again.
Baozhu said: "Qing'er, you are in a hurry. Five or six people suffered some injuries. Fortunately, they were all superficial injuries. They were almost healed when we were in Xiushui Town."
"It's the escort. , how many died..."
For this, Yang Ruoqing was speechless and could only mourn for three minutes of silence in her heart for the dead bodyguards.
They act as escorts by tying their heads to their waistbands, and those who are unlucky will die early.
What's more, she paid a lot of money to hire them to escort them. This trip of goods basically only made a loss but not a profit. As for the death affairs of the sacrificed escorts and the pension arrangements for their families, the escort agency itself There are arrangements.
"What happened next? How did you escape?" Zuo Junmo's low voice came from behind. Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses and quickly looked at Baozhu.
When asked about this, Baozhu and Changgen’s eyes lit up.
“This is a coincidence. It’s because our lives should not be cut off, or there may be noble people to help.” Baozhu said.
“Just when our group was about to be wiped out, another wave of arrows came from the shore, and then we looked at the previous wave of river bandits like firewood targets. One after another fell down in front of us.”
"During the chaos, I heard He Laoliu seem to be scolding, saying, 'You stupid little beast, sneak attack on me!' Then He Laoliu hurried away with his few remaining people."
"The group of people on the shore apparently divided into two groups to chase us, and several people jumped onto the boat. At that time, we were caught again. I was frightened because this group of people were dressed like bandits.”
“Fortunately, not only did they not kill us, nor did they charge us any money, but they let us pass. Even after it passed, I still felt like I was dreaming, I couldn’t believe it!” Baozhu said excitedly.
Chang Gen said: "One of the middle-aged men and I, who looked a little less like a bandit than a scholar, knelt down and kowtowed to thank me. The man smiled at me and said, thank them if you want to. 'Master of Xiaoyao Village', otherwise, we would be here today The people and horses in the two beds, the women and the goods will all be eaten by He Laoliu."
"I asked him where the 'Master of Xiaoyao Village' is. I want to kowtow to the master of Xiaoyao Village. Saved more than twenty of our lives.”
"The scholar-looking man pointed to a high mountain across the river and said that is Xiaoyao Village. If you have the ability, you can climb to the highest mountain. The owner of Xiaoyao Village lives there. After that, Got off the boat and left."
After hearing all this, the main room was quiet, and no one spoke for a long time.
After a while, Yang Ruoqing was the first to break the silence.
“No wonder I came back more than half a month later than usual on my trip to Xiushui Town. It turns out that I encountered such a dangerous thing and I kept it in the dark. Why didn’t you tell me anything? How about a letter telling me the situation?" Yang Ruoqing questioned Chang Gen and Baozhu for the second time.
Yang Huazhong and the others also nodded quickly, "Qing'er is right. If anything happens in the future, you must send a letter to your family to tell me. After such a long delay, everyone is making wild guesses. You Relatives at home also come to us every day to ask questions, and we don’t know anything about it. Now that we know it, we are also scared. ”
Hearing Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhong's questions, Chang Gen was stunned for a moment, "No, I remembered. After that incident happened, we passed the Baidi Valley and turned the corner, and Xiao Yu immediately wrote to Qing'er. The homing pigeon is still standing with my own hands It was released at the bow of the boat!"
Now, Yang Ruoqing was even more surprised, "What? Xiaoyu wrote to me?"
"Yes, just talking about this. Ah," Chang Gen said, also very surprised. "What? You didn't receive it?"
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "I didn't receive it at all. After you left, I received a letter from Brother Baozhu, when you were stranded in Jiujiang County. Later , never received half of it again "A letter."
Chang Gen slapped his head, "Oh no, that letter was probably lost halfway. No wonder Xiao Yu was still wondering why you didn't reply to her after so long after arriving in Xiushui Town. ! ”
"Here, I have another letter here, also written by Xiaoyu to Qing'er."
Chang Gen took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing received it in her hand. She expected that the letter was probably about her and Ning Su's affairs. She was not in a hurry to read it now. Instead, she put the letter in her arms and turned around to wait for the roots to grow. It's not too late to watch after they leave.
