Chapter 61
Li Qingyou's donkey cart has gone somewhere long ago. It was probably stolen by bandits. After all, an animal is worth a lot of money. The same goes for Wei Siqi's carriage. Not only the carriage, but also his entourage and driver are missing.
His traces, life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown.
I don’t know if their previous good luck ran out in the mountains or something, but they didn’t even encounter a town along the way. They only encountered two small villages, which were very poor and poor, with a total of more than a dozen families.
, so poor that they don’t even have an animal.
So naturally her wish to hire a car to come back halfway came to nothing.
Therefore, they could only walk back to Qingshan County on two legs.
What is the concept of Fifty Miles Land?
It takes more than 20 minutes to drive, an hour to ride a horse, two hours to ride a carriage, half a day to take a donkey cart, and walk...
One and a half days, hahaha!
When Li Qingyou stood outside Qingshan County, looking at the dilapidated city gate in the distance, she was so excited that she almost burst into tears.
I, Hu Hansan... no, I, Li Qingyou, am finally back.
Three years later, a sense of belonging that she had never felt before swept over her at this moment, and her hands and feet were shaking with excitement.
Adi is not much better than her, but he is more tired.
The most exaggerated one was Wei Siqi. He sniffed and burst into tears. He knew it was embarrassing, but he couldn't help it.
He almost had his hair cut off.
This kind of joy of surviving the disaster cannot be expressed in words.
The siblings didn't laugh at him. They understood his excitement very well. Adi raised his sleeve and wiped it for him, then patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, if a man has tears, don't shed them lightly. Wipe your tears."
I’ll treat you to something delicious when you get to my house.”
Wei Siqi burst into tears and laughed, and the two siblings also laughed. After experiencing life and death, the relationship between the three of them seemed to have suddenly become closer.
Wei Siqi originally just thought his brother was interesting. Although he called him eldest brother, he didn't agree with him in his heart. He came back with them this time because he wanted to avoid his mother's punishment.
Everything is different now. He really regards his brother as his elder brother, not to mention that his elder brother saved him before.
Although their bodies were weak and their feet were weak, the three of them strode towards the county seat.
As a result, passers-by saw two little beggars, and a little beggar wearing a monk's robe but with long hair, running wildly towards the county town.
"I don't know where they came from fleeing the famine. I heard there was a flood in the south, so I'm not sure they came from that way."
"The way this world is..."
Needless to say, Li Qingyou and the others were excited to finally return home. Qingfeng Mountain was already in chaos at this moment.
Ruqiuda's eyes were red as he grabbed one of his men, holding two special silver needles in his hand, "Where are the people? Where are they?"
Two months ago, he used a little trick to trick the man in brocade robes and others away. He planned to go back to Qingshan County to find his young master, but he didn't expect that he encountered bandits from Qingfeng Mountain halfway there.
When he was young, he was known as the best master in the North. Even though he was old, he was not someone that could be easily provoked by cats and dogs. He eliminated several thieves in three strokes, and Ruqiuda suddenly had an idea.
He was alone, and trying to find someone in the vast sea of people was like looking for a needle in a haystack, so it was better to find someone to help him.
As for who to look for...
He set his sights on the bandit who was standing on the ground and groaning.
If he wanted the bandits to listen to him, he had to be their boss, so Ruqiuda went into the tiger's den alone, picked their leader, and became the king of the mountain from then on.
During this period, he didn't know how many people he sent out to search everywhere, but there was no trace. The little master seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
But today, he was holding two special silver needles and was so excited that he burst into tears. These were the little master's protective objects. He had originally found someone to make the lotus slave and the silver needles inside.
If he hadn't happened to be passing by and heard two of his men muttering that if they hadn't been stabbed by the silver needle, they would have definitely caught the rich man, and then they could take hostages and extort money, he wouldn't have had a clue.
The two men were trembling with fear, "No, I don't know, they ran, ran away..."
Ruqiuda ordered a search of the mountain, "I have to dig three feet into the ground to find him."
In fact, there is another possibility, but he doesn't want to think about it. It has been more than a day since the accident. In this deep mountain forest full of dangers and wild beasts, can a few children survive?
"My little master is auspicious and everything will be fine." Ru Qiuda stood on the top of the mountain, the wind blowing the corners of his robe, looking at the vast mountains and rivers, feeling uneasy in his heart...
Compared to the chaos in Qingfeng Mountain, the entire city in Qingshan County is under martial law, with officers and soldiers guarding all four gates. These are not Qingshan County government officials, but serious army officers and soldiers.
All city gates are closed to entry and exit, and everyone entering the city is strictly interrogated, with officers and soldiers holding portraits to compare them one by one.
At this moment, the magistrate of Qingshan County was sweating profusely. He kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves and spoke to a man who looked like a butler with a smile on his face.
Although the other party has neither official rank nor rank, as the saying goes, the second-rank official in front of the prime minister's door is the steward of the magistrate of Liangzhou Prefecture.
"This Qingfeng Mountain is under the jurisdiction of your Qingshan County, right?" The butler was holding a teacup and crossing his legs, looking more like a county magistrate than a county magistrate.
"Our eldest son has already ordered three thousand troops to march to Qingfeng Mountain. If our young master has a shortcoming, huh... let alone the black gauze on your head, it is whether you can keep your head.
Two words."
The county magistrate kept a smile on his face and cursed in his heart. He didn't invite his young master to come. Why did he come to such a useless place when he left the beautiful city alone?
This is really a man sitting at home, and disaster comes from the sky, and he died unjustly.
I heard that the young master was visiting a friend. He didn't know that there was such a person in Qingshan County. If he found out, huh...
"Butler Hong, don't be anxious. The young master is a lucky man and everything will be fine. The lower official has also dispatched all the people in the county government and will definitely assist the eldest master in destroying the village and rescuing the young master safely..."
The county magistrate was frothing at the mouth and was saying New Year's greetings when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and someone ran in shouting, "Sir."
The county magistrate hurriedly straightened up and glared angrily at Zhang Tieniu, who had barged in without permission. "Why are you panicking? Didn't you see that there are no guests here? Get out."
The dignified head of the county was bowing down to a housekeeper, and was caught by his subordinates. The county prince's face was dull, and the anger in his heart hit Zhang Tieniu's head, and he was stunned for a while, and turned around with his head lowered.
Just as I was about to leave, I was stopped again.
The county magistrate scolded someone and lost his temper a little. He thought that although Zhang Tieniu was not old, he was not ignorant of advancement and retreat. Thinking that there was something important, he asked him, "What's the matter?"
