Chapter 17 Bandits Blocking the Way

"Ms. Song!"

Before Song Qian had gone far, he heard the voice of the Cheng family's boy behind him. When he turned around, the boy had reined in his horse and stopped.

"Something happened on the road that delayed the time. I hope Madam Song won't blame her." The young man hurriedly explained.

"It's okay. I'm sorry for bothering you. It's not too late for my mother and son to be grateful."

Cheng Wenyu sent a carriage to see her off as a sign of love. If she didn't help, it was also her duty. How could she blame him?

Song Qian thought about this and felt that it was inappropriate to thank Cheng Wenyu for his kindness for many days, so he said: "It's still early today, so we, mother and son, can go back as soon as possible. I won't bother you. You can also go back early."

Just rest."

The young man heard this and said hurriedly: "Ms. Song is serious. I was about to say that after returning to Cheng's house today, I will go with the young master to do some things in other counties. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you off in the future. Since the carriage has already been

Come here, madam, don’t refuse.”

This was Cheng Wenyu's good intention, and he worked hard for the young man to drive the carriage. If he tried to shirk it, he would be refuting Cheng Wenyu's wife. After thinking about it, Song Qian no longer refused and agreed to the young man's words, and carried Yuan Bao into the carriage.

He also sat in.

"Mother, what shall we eat today?"

The carriage drove out of the town as usual and went to the countryside. Yuan Bao leaned in Song Qian's arms and asked.

Song Qian thought for a moment and replied: "The weather has been hot recently and the anger is strong. Eating more greasy food will not be bad for your health. How about my mother go back and make you some porridge with side dishes?"

Yuanbao is good at fertility and is not picky, so he responds beautifully.

The carriage suddenly stopped, jolting Yuanbao and almost falling. Song Qian heard the noise coming from outside, noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly raised a corner of the curtain to check.

I saw a few tall horses standing in front of the carriage, and sitting on them were a few strong men who looked like bandits holding crescent swords.

"I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to take over, leave money to buy the road." The leading bandit said.

The boy's legs trembled when he heard this, he fell down from the carriage and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "You good men have something to say, something to say."

"Mother, what happened?" Yuan Bao wanted to stick his head out, but Song Qian pushed him back.

"Don't make any noise, just stay here Ansheng."

This was Song Qian's first time encountering bandits blocking his way, and she couldn't help but feel her heart pounding. But she still had Yuanbao with her, so she naturally had to protect him and get through the incident safely.

Besides, from what these bandits wanted, they probably just wanted some silver and left.

Thinking of this, Song Qian calmed down and touched the bulging purse around her waist. With an idea in her mind, she opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Song Qian, the bandit, got off the carriage, his eyes lit up. The leader of the bandits got off his horse and walked up to Song Qian. The other bandits were still teasing him frivolously.

"This little lady is so pretty."

Listening to these words, Song Qian was naturally dissatisfied but did not show it. He looked at the bandits in front of him and said, "Everyone, we all know the rules. This little thought is disrespectful. If you don't dislike it, just accept it as a gesture of kindness."

Just let us pass."

With that said, Song Qian handed over the purse.

The bandit took it, weighed it for a few times, and immediately smiled: "Don't be afraid, little lady, we brothers are not unreasonable. Since the lady is so sincere, we can't be unreasonable, right?"

Song Qian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of the bandit's smile, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Even so, I would like to thank all of you heroes and let's take our leave first."

Song Qian turned around and said something to the young man. The young man understood and hurriedly got up from the ground and prepared to drive the carriage.

But before Song Qian had taken a few steps, the bandit strode up to Song Qian and stopped her. The other bandits also raised their eyebrows and showed their swords, looking unforgiving.

The horse was frightened and neighed to the sky, jumping on the spot. The boy worked hard to calm it down. Yuanbao, who was sitting in the car, was frightened by this and accidentally screamed.

Song Qian's uneasy heart suddenly sank, and she screamed secretly. But before she could get close to the carriage, the bandit took Yuanbao out of the carriage and took it out by the collar.

Yuanbao flapped his legs in the air. Song Qian was afraid that he would anger the bandit, so he hurriedly said: "Yuanbao, don't be afraid, mother is here."

Yuan Bao really calmed down, but he still glared at the bandit with his eyes and said without fear: "Bad guy! Don't even think about hurting my mother."

"Heroes, children's words are unbridled. Don't blame your lord for having a lot of trouble."

The bandit laughed loudly after hearing Yuan Bao's words and said, "You have a bloody spirit. We never wanted to hurt your mother. We just wanted to invite her to our village for a cup of tea."

As he spoke, he touched Song Qian's cheek frivolously. Song Qian was startled and hurriedly stepped back.

Song Qian knew what they were thinking, which was just to rob money and sex. Now that the ingot was in his hands, she didn't dare to act rashly. She could only think about how to escape in her mind and talk about delaying time.

"Brother, why don't you take her back to the stronghold to be the wife of the stronghold? As for the little one, just kill her on the barren mountain."

After listening to what the bandits said, Song Qian became frightened, feeling that these thieves were very cruel and might do these things.

"That's good, little lady, just follow me back." The bandit, who was called the eldest brother, threw the ingot on the ground and came to pick up Song Qian.

Listening to Yuan Bao's cries, Song Qian found the strength to push away the bandits and ran over to protect Yuan Bao tightly in her arms: "Don't be afraid of Yuan Bao, my mother will not let them hurt you here."

The bandit became angry, cursed loudly, and walked towards the two of them dragging his knife. The heroine still refused to let go of Yuan Bao, so she closed her eyes and accepted her fate.

"stop!"

A voice came, and Song Qian suddenly opened her eyes and saw Shi Lei coming with a bow and arrow in his hand.

For some reason, when the bandit saw Shi Lei, he hurriedly mounted his horse, turned around, and left. His appearance was completely lost from the previous majesty, and he looked very embarrassed. Song Qian couldn't help but feel strange.

Shi Lei also muttered about this, but didn't think much about it. He hurriedly walked to Song Qian's side, helped her and Yuan Bao up, and asked with concern: "Ms. Song, Yuan Bao, have you ever been injured?"

Song Qian was not injured, but when Yuan Bao Jing was thrown by the bandit, his clothes were all covered in sand, and his knees and corners of his mouth were bruised and bloody.

Song Qian hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped away the blood stains on the corners of Yuanbao's mouth with distress, her tone full of self-blame: "I'm sorry Yuanbao, it was my mother who failed to protect you and allowed those thieves to hurt you."

Yuan Bao endured the pain, pretended to smile, and stretched out his little hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Song Qian's eyes: "Mother, Yuan Bao doesn't hurt, Yuan Bao is fine. It's all because Yuan Bao is too short, and those bandits hurt my mother."

Seeing Song Qian's sad look, Shi Lei felt a prick in his heart.

Seeing that nothing happened, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ms. Song, let's go back quickly. It would be bad if these bandits come back."

Shi Lei on the side also echoed: "That's exactly what I said. Madam Song, let's go back quickly and don't let these bandits block our way again. The wounds on Yuan Bao's body also need to be treated with medicine, otherwise the weather will be hot and they may fester.

"With that said, he picked up Yuanbao from Song Qian's arms and put him on the carriage.

Song Qian didn't waste any time, and got on the carriage together with Shi Lei, while the young man's legs were still weak and he drove away from this place.

After calming down, Song Qian realized that it was Shi Lei who had just appeared to drive away the bandits, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Shi. If it hadn't been for you, Yuan Bao and I would have died here today."

"Ms. Song's words were serious, and I didn't do anything. Those thieves got on their horses and left." This is what's strange. After all, Shi Lei was alone and had no weapons at his disposal. Why did they flee when they saw him?

Song Qian held Yuan Bao in her arms and thought about it carefully.

"Besides, I've been walking on this road for a long time, and I've never heard of bandits blocking the road. Why did something like this happen today?"

The young man who was driving the carriage said after hearing this: "I heard that the bandit has been in the mountains all year round and will come down from time to time to harm the people. Maybe you are lucky, sir, and you have never encountered him before."

Song Qian also remembered that she had never heard of bandits coming down the mountain to harm the people. It was really strange today. However, what the boy said was not a rumor at all, so he was half-believed and half-suspicious.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village. Shi Lei told Song Qian to close the doors and windows tightly at night, find something to guard behind, and then said goodbye and went home alone.

The boy was afraid that he would be blocked by thieves again on the road, so he hurriedly drove away after sending Song Qian and Yuan Bao home.

Song Qian didn't waste any time and hurriedly disinfected and applied medicine to Yuan Bao's wound. Although Yuan Bao's facial features twisted together in pain, he didn't even say a word of pain, which made Song Qian even more distressed.

At night, Song Qian closed the doors and windows tightly, but she still felt lingering fear. She pushed the table and chairs to seal the door tightly, and took a kitchen knife and pressed it under her pillow, which made her feel more at ease.

Yuan Bao knew that Song Qian was still worried about this matter, so he comforted him: "Don't be afraid, mother, Yuan Bao is protecting you. If those thieves still dare to attack, I will beat them down one after another and beg for mercy."

Seeing that Yuan Bao was protecting her like this, Song Qian couldn't help but feel happy. She let him lie down and patted his back gently.

After this incident, Song Qian deeply realized that the roads between this town and the village were really dangerous. In addition, the days would become shorter and shorter, and the thieves would definitely become more rampant. Besides, it would not be a good idea if there were no carriages to transport them in the future.

Luck meets Shi Lei every time, so this is not the way to go.

She had thought about buying a house in the town earlier, so that it would avoid bumpy roads and be safer. However, she counted the money she had made since opening the shop in detail, and it was still not enough, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly.

It seems that I have to work harder in the future to earn more silver and prevent Yuanbao from suffering.

The next morning, there was still no wind. Song Qian felt strange but didn't think much about it, so he prepared to take Yuan Bao to the shop. When he walked out of the yard and saw Shi Lei outside, he felt strange and asked, "Brother Shi, why are you here?"

"

Shi Lei explained: "I saw Madam Song and you two were frightened yesterday, and I felt that the thieves would not give up. So I thought of escorting you there today to avoid anything happening."

Song Qian was indeed still afraid, so she did not refuse: "This will trouble Brother Shi."

Song Qian was worried that everything was safe and sound along the way. The three of them arrived at the shop. From a distance, Yuan Bao saw Chang Feng outside the shop: "Uncle Chang Feng!"

After saying these words, she fell from Song Qian's arms to the ground, ran to Changfeng and was picked up by him again.

Seeing this, Song Qian opened the store and joked with the two of them: "This Yuanbao always thinks of you when eating, and asked me to make more for you to keep."

These days, Changfeng has been sulky with Ji Changye, and he doesn't care about Yuanbao as much as before. Hearing Song Qian's words today, and seeing Yuanbao so close to him, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Yuanbao, how about Uncle Changfeng taking you to buy candy figures later?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao raised his hands and cheered: "Okay!"

Changfeng's sharp eyes saw the scratches on Yuanbao's palm, and he asked urgently: "Yuanbao, why are you injured?"

Yuan Bao didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "Yesterday, I went back with my mother and encountered bandits on the way. They wanted to take my mother back to be the wife of the village, and they threw me on the ground and wanted to kill me in the deep mountains and old forests.
