Chapter 7 The Road is Narrow
At dawn, it was the darkest time, but everyone started to stumble and rush back again, not even dared to light the torch.
Although this place is far from Hei'ao Ridge where the battle just now.
The atmosphere is a little cold.
Not only did the officers and soldiers kill, but several villagers died in this battle, and several others were injured. It was very dangerous to be a mule. It was just a rumor before, but now it has really come to them.
After a breath, we ran for more than ten miles. The sky in the east gradually became brighter. We sat down, took out the dry food, and ate in a stream.
The woman and the maid were consciously far away from everyone.
They were also eating, a few pieces of Hucai, and made of real white flour.
Wang Ju walked over and asked, "Madam's name is the best name?"
"Big..." The word "王后" was not yet said, so the woman stopped her. It was just a bit rude. In the Song Dynasty, women were usually asked about their surnames and rankings, such as Zhao and ranked ninth, so they called Zhao Jiu's wife, but no one asked about their name, unless they were tortured by the female criminal.
But Wang Ju must ask, after this incident, there were two women of unknown origin mixed in the team. If you don’t ask, can you kill them?
"My name is Zhao Niannu."
A very ordinary name.
"Nu Nu, a good name."
The woman's nickname is Nunu. Listening to the boy's nickname, a layer of shame and anger appeared on her neck.
"Where is your official?"
"My official is in the Central Plains."
"Who will come to Yanzhou with?"
The woman hesitated for a long time before finally saying: "My mother-in-law is vicious, the official is rude, I left Zhongyuan to relax."
Have to believe it.
Because she didn't have to lie. Even if she lies, if her family is here in Yanzhou and has been missing for several days, I believe she is looking for them all over the city, then Zhu Qing's family will come out as soon as they inquire.
However, Wang Ju still said: "Suspense? Taishan, Yangzhou, Hangzhou West Lake, where can you not relax? How can you run to the border?"
"It's a coincidence." The woman lowered her head, obviously not wanting to discuss this issue.
"When we go further, we will break up with our boss. They go to Yanzhou City and we will go back to the village. You must follow me." Wang Ju glanced at Zhu Qing who was not far away and whispered.
"Why follow you?"
"Otherwise you will... be... dangerous."
"What are you saying," said Yaoer.
"You have also seen that this industry is very dangerous, so there are many unfaithful taboos. Although I have made some arrangements, the changes are always breaking the plan. To put it bluntly, your origin is unknown... You must follow me. Don't worry, I am not another villager, and I am much younger than Miss Zhao, and I will not take it back to be a Madam."
Wang Ju tried his best to use a joking tone.
But the young woman understood that they appeared a little strange and had nothing to do with private salt and private businessmen. Now that they have killed so many officers and soldiers, the mountain people have little knowledge and may not understand, but the other side is different, and they may kill people to silence them.
She whispered to the lover, and the two of them went to discuss for a while.
The lover walked back and said, "We can't go to your village."
"Don't worry." But how can the two women feel at ease? Wang Ju had no choice, but can he let them go back to Yanzhou?
"My wife said we are going home."
"Why don't you be angry?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
"How do you go back?"
"I want to ask you to escort us back."
"Me?"
"Please, brother," the woman walked over and said politely.
She was born with a noble family, and she didn't know much about the lives of the people at the bottom, and even less about the people in the border areas. But she didn't understand it. She saw clearly the battle yesterday. There were only one person in her brain, and that was the boy in front of her.
Wisdom is the real power.
"Madam, no, I have younger brothers and sisters in the village."
"Please."
"Please don't do it either, yes, I didn't say it." Wang Ju was a little annoyed.
"This is my reward for you." The young woman pulled off her hairpin from her head.
A jade hairpin has a very pure color and is also exquisitely crafted.
"If you give it to Manager Zhu, he should know the price. If it is not enough, I still have a little maid in Yanzhou City, so she still has some money."
Wang Ju stared at the hairpin: "Where is your home?"
"Bianliang."
"Beijing."
"We can hire a carriage, so we can reach the capital in less than twenty days."
"Wait," Wang Ju turned to find Zhu Qing and started discussing with him. In fact, Zhu Qing is in a mess now, so what is his opinion?
"Manager Zhu, it should be fine. I guess where is the Heiaoling now starting to be in chaos? Is it true that the government ignores the people's sentiments?"
"You tell the villagers in the village that you are not allowed to go out during this period, let alone make mules."
Wang Ju nodded, but his mind was filled with countless thoughts and his eyes were also staring at the east. Where is the largest city in the world called Tokyo Bianliang...
…………
"Brother, I can't walk anymore," said Gui'er.
"The road ahead is the road. It depends on your luck. If you can encounter a carriage and a ox cart, we have to leave here immediately."
"Just take a break."
"It won't work for a while. Not only do you have to leave here quickly, but you also have to leave Yanzhou quickly. You are not a private businessman, not a member of the crowd!"
The two women had to rush forward desperately.
After a while, there is a road ahead, the real road! The road from Baoan Juncheng to Yanzhou was extremely lively before the mutual market was banned. Although the mutual market was banned, there were still many pedestrians on the avenue.
When the three of them arrived on the road, Wang Ju asked again: "Do you have money in the city?"
"Do you want money?"
"Would you pay the fare with a hairpin?"
"have."
Wang Ju immediately started to stop an empty ox cart and promised the bus driver's usual travel expenses. The three of them boarded the ox cart. The very simple ox cart, without even a roof, was actually a big ox cart, with a cow in front and a two-wheeled cart behind. The two-wheeled cart had only two wheels, a large ox cart inlaid with several wooden boards, and then there was nothing left. However, with it, it was better than walking and faster than walking.
The three of them sat in the car without saying a word.
Soon the coachman said, "Zhao'an Village is ahead. It's getting late. Should I stop?"
"Weng Weng, we have agreed that we will rush to the road overnight."
"Okay," the coachman said nothing about his usual rewards.
It was getting dusk.
This is a mess, and there is a mess.
"I didn't see suspicious private goods coming." A big man said on the side of the road.
"Is there any road to the north?" asked another big man. Suddenly his eyes narrowed. He saw a car with three people in it. The battle was too fast, and he couldn't remember most of the people's appearance, but there were three people who could remember the appearance for the time being. Two strange women and a thin and handsome boy, it was the boy who shot Mengdu's head with an arrow.
