Chapter 10 The Three Pedestrians

After leaving the capital, the ship sailed smoothly and nothing special happened. The weather was hot and you wouldn't catch a cold if you spent the night on the deck. However, those who boarded the ship in the capital began to feel restless. For example, they needed convenience and had to eat and sleep.

That is to gradually expand the scope of their activities. Bai Yi has only seven people, and five of them are required to guard at all times. There are always three people who have to guard continuously and cannot rest normally. As time goes by, the guards become sparse, especially at night, and some women begin to

He slowly approached the cabin, but when he was discovered by Bai Yi's men, he scolded him and rushed back, but this was not a long-term solution.

One day's sailing was far enough away from the capital. Fang Zhuo took the initiative to find Bai Yi to discuss the plan to dock and leave. "Miss Bai Yi, there is no army chasing and no pirate ship approaching, but the hysteria incident on our ship is not over yet.

I hope we can reach the shore as soon as possible. Everyone should spread out. What do you think?"

"Young hero, are you planning to take the land route?"

"Well, the target of the ship is too big, and it is easy to be discovered. Besides, we left shopkeeper Qi and drove away the ship, and we can't explain it to anyone." What Fang Zhuo said makes sense. Now, regardless of the ship,

Does Ling'an Guo know about the hysteria, but he must give an explanation to Guiqian Company. None of the shopkeepers are on the ship. Now the ship has been robbed, or whatever, and he can't continue to take the ship to Boyi City.

"What the young hero said is indeed true, but with so many new people on board, can they all go down together?"

"Haha, Miss Bai Yi, your men must have drugs that can make people sleep, right?"

Bai Yi heard Fang Zhuo say this and understood Fang Zhuo's plan, but he also looked at Fang Zhuo in surprise and didn't understand how he knew that he had medicine that could make people fall asleep. "Yes, there is, what is the young hero's plan?"

Time to take action?"

Fang Zhuo hesitated for a moment, "Tonight! The boatman said that we will soon enter the intersection of many rivers. The shores at the intersections of some small tributaries are very suitable for disembarking."

"Well, I'll help you, young hero, to cook a pot of fish soup tonight. Also! Young hero, Bai Yi plans to pass with you. Is that okay?" Fang Zhuo also thought about Bai Yi's request, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After getting off the ship, Bai Yi couldn't stupidly stay on the ship. There was no way to explain what was ahead, and a pursuing ship might appear behind him at any time. Although taking the land route was tiring and the road was unfamiliar, he had Fang Zhuo there, so he had some protection.

"Miss Bai Yi is rich and valuable, and the road trip is bumpy and tiring. I'm afraid that Miss Bai Yi won't be able to endure the hardship."

"Don't worry, young hero. Bai Yi's endurance may be better than that of young hero. Who of us from Jin Qiu Country would be afraid of getting tired? Those who are afraid of being tired will starve to death." Bai Yi gave Fang Zhuo no room for bargaining, Jin Qiu said.

A beggar country is a mineral-rich country. If you don't work, you won't have food. It's not surprising that you won't starve to death. Unless you are a rich man, you don't have to work yourself, but you still have to use your physical strength to manage others.

"In that case, we will dock at night, and then continue walking towards Boyi City. Miss Bai Yi has no objection to this, right?"

"What about this... let the young hero make the decision!"

After Fang Zhuo and Bai Yi discussed it, the matter was settled, and there was a tacit understanding of division of labor and cooperation. Fang Zhuo cooked the fish soup and served it for themselves to drink first. Then one of Bai Yi's men took out a bag from his waist.

Pour all the medicinal powder into the pot, stir for a while, and then bring it to the front deck.

At night, those people who boarded the ship in the capital, after tasting the deliciousness of the fish soup, praised it in every way. Not only did they drink it, but they drank every drop. Only one baby in his arms did not drink it, and the others drank it.

, everything went smoothly, and we were even lucky enough to find a place to dock.

The boatman didn't plan to follow Fang Zhuan to escape. Their lives were on the boat. Regarding hysteria and other claims, the responsibility could be entirely placed on Bai Yi, so at this time he was just helping Fang Zhuo, Bai Yi and others move their things.

Bai Yi fulfilled his previous promise, including the shipping fee agreed with Shopkeeper Qi, and handed it over to several boatmen. The group parted ways here, watching the boat slowly leave the shore, and suddenly two figures jumped from the hull.

Below, there is an old man and a woman pretending to be holding a baby.

The old man stepped forward and faced Fang Zhuan, clasping his fists with both hands and saying, "This young hero must have some unspeakable secrets when he leaves the ship here. How about taking us with him? More people can take care of him more."

The old man and the woman holding the baby almost flew down from the boat. Fang Zhuo rubbed his eyes as they watched. The legendary Qing Kung? Even ten Fang Zhuo couldn't beat that skill. Even Bai Yi's seven men,

At this time, everyone was on guard nervously. Seeing this, Fang Zhuo also returned the old man's fist and saluted him, "If you don't mind me, let's go together."

"Haha, in that case, you're welcome." After the old man finished speaking, he did not help the woman holding the baby behind him, and walked away on her own. The woman holding the baby had a resolute face, and there was no trace of it at all.

The delicacy of an ordinary woman.

There was a ferry next to where Fang Zhuan landed, and there was a road on the ground for carriages to ride on. This was not a bad thing. Because the two old men, oh no, there should be three people including the baby, so Fang Zhuan and his party had no choice.

As I spoke, the moonlight at night was very bright, and there was no need for a flashlight to illuminate it. The horses ran very happily, as if they had not moved their feet for so many days, and there was a bit of a jerk in their steps.

They walked along a road until dawn. The sun had just emerged and a fork in the road appeared. Which way should they go? The group hesitated. Fang Zhuo, Bai Yi and others did not know the road. Intuitively, they should go to the right. The old man took this road.

He didn't say anything. When he saw everyone stopped, he stepped forward and said a few words, "You guys are also going to stay away from the capital, right?"

Fang Zhuo and Bai Yi didn't admit it, but they nodded consciously. The old man pointed to the road on the right, "This should be far away from the capital. Let's go this way."

The old man was so kind to show the way. Fang Zhuo also doubted the identity of the old man and the woman holding the baby. He probably also has a story. I prayed that it would be a good story. It would be better to have a comedy story. Stop playing escape. This

It never stopped along the way.

There are not many people on the road. Occasionally, you can see some people. Judging from their appearance, they are not businessmen at all, but a bit like people fleeing from famine. They have big and small bags, and the most noticeable thing is that everyone

There is a water bag, which adults tie around their waists and children hang around their necks, as if they are afraid of dying of thirst.

No one feels anything wrong with such people in such weather. The fields everywhere are dry and cracked. In some fields, even the weeds are yellow, let alone the crops. Some small rivers have already

A hint of green can still be seen on the dry and cracked river.

On a hot day and under a scorching sun, Fang Zhuan and his party were on the road very hard. Two fifteen-liter buckets of pure water were placed in the carriage and they were drunk in seven hours of travel.

At first, one of Bai Yi's men wanted to wash his face with pure water. When everyone saw that move, they all wanted to stop it. Bai Yi, their master, went up and scolded him: "If you dare to get water on your face,

Don’t even think about drinking the water from now on!”

Unfortunately, after Bai Yi finished scolding him and shouted slowly, the subordinate had already raised the water above his head. What's funny is that after being scolded by Bai Yi, the subordinate immediately took a handful of the water that fell on his face with his hand.

A handful of it was put into his mouth, and he made a swallowing motion with great acting talent, making everyone around him retching.

In the afternoon, just when the water in the bucket was finished, a small city appeared in the sight. Looking at the city, everyone moved a little faster. When entering the gate of the city, Fang Zhuo imagined that the old man could have beautiful things.

The hope of the story has completely turned into an eternal 'hope'. Fifty steps away from the city gate, the old man slipped into the carriage. The woman holding the baby was already on the carriage, enjoying the treatment of a woman riding a carriage.

, and the old man’s behavior at this time completely showed that the good story of Fang Zhuo’s prayer was all in vain!

Among Fang Zhuo's group, only Fang Zhuo is normal, but also a little strange. The scholar is as thin as a weakling, walking down there without riding in a carriage, while the people next to Fang Zhuo still wear black cloths on such a hot day

With his face covered, anyone could notice something unusual about this strange look. However, this summer also has its advantages. The soldiers at the city gate were as lazy as dead dogs. After taking a glance, they waved to Fang Zhuan and his party.

You can enter the city now.

The city is not big, and it fits the name of this city very well, Weicheng! There is only one inn in the city, and it is very shabby, but there are many people. Fang Zhuo and his party only got three rooms in total. Logically speaking, Fang Zhuan

There were three groups of people, Fang Zhuan, Bai Yi and the old man. It was just right for one group of people to share a room, but there were eight people in Bai Yi, and Bai Yi was a woman. How to divide them? Fang Zhuocai was too lazy to care, so he took two

The girl got into a room.

Fang Zhuo was just about to take off his clothes to cool down, but the door was pushed open. Fang Zhuo thought it was someone from the store. He was about to curse, but he saw Bai Yi walking in arrogantly, and he was not polite at all. After entering, he opened the door

Turned off, "What do you mean?"

Bai Yi smiled and looked at a bed in the room that was already occupied by two girls. He turned to Fang Zhuan and said, "Young hero, do you mind if I spend the night with you?"

When Bai Yi got the room, he threw it to seven of his subordinates. He went straight to Fang Zhuo's room and squeezed in. It was true that there was no room, and it was also a perfect reason to get close to Fang Zhuo. He took the opportunity to learn more about this person.

I saw many things I had never seen before on the road, all of which were made by Fang Zhuo. I wanted to see what new things Fang Zhuo had here.

"Men and women are not close to each other, how can it be convenient for you to be here?" Fang Zhuan declined with a very reluctant excuse, but Bai Yi was not stupid. Of the two girls, only one was called Fang Zhuan Husband, and the other was clearly called Fang Zhuan.

It's the young master. The three of them can squeeze into a small cabin for more than ten days. She should be fine with one more person. "Bai Yi doesn't mind. How can the young master still mind? What's more, there is no room now. If you don't come here, how can you call me?"

Sleeping on the street?"

"Yes! The bed is not big. It's only big enough for two girls. If you want to stay here, you can only sleep on the floor. Well, the place inside, next to the door, is mine!" Fang Zhuan was speechless.

, this Bai is also determined to squeeze in with them, so let her sleep on the floor, sleep when she can, and pull her down if she can't.

"It's okay. The floor is also made of wood. Why not? Bai Yi's body is not that delicate."

"Okay, that's settled then."

There was Bai Yi in the room, and the two girls talked less, but it was almost dusk and she was hungry. Qiuyue started to order as usual: "Master, I want to eat eggplant and roast pork tonight!"

When Rong Rong heard that Qiu Yue spoke openly and ordered food in front of Bai Yi, didn't this make it difficult for her husband? She pinched Qiu Yue's waist, which made Qiu Yue cry out in pain, "Husband, go and take a look below.

We eat whatever is available," Rong Rong said while winking at Qiuyue. Qiuyue was so nervous that she finally understood and kept silent.

"Okay, I'll go take a look. If Miss Bai Yi doesn't mind, let's eat together."

"Then I'll bother you, young hero."

After leaving the room, Fang Zhuan kept shaking his head, but just after walking a few steps, he felt a pain in his back, as if he had been hit by something. When he turned around, he saw the old man waving to Fang Zhuan. Looking at the old man so

With mysterious looks, Fang Zhuan was sure that the old man and the woman were definitely not ordinary people. The story behind them was probably not a trivial matter. He only dared to make a guess but he definitely didn't want to know, let alone understand. Fang Zhuan was most desperate at this time.

All I want is to live a stable life for a few days, and I really don’t want to have to live a life of escape again.

The old man called Fang Zhuan over, not for anything else but because of dinner. "I asked the young knight to do a small favor. You also noticed that along the way, it is not convenient for us to go out to meet people. If the young knight is willing to help, afterwards

I will be very grateful!"

"Thank you very much? Your whole body is just a package, and it is so light. How can it be heavy?"

"Alas, the young hero is wrong! The heavy thanks I mentioned are not gold or silver. So, to put it another way, if the young hero has any difficulty, you can ask me to help solve it. What do you think?"

"Well, that's okay. I have the most difficult thing to do right now. Can I ask the old man to help me?"

"Oh? Young hero said it bluntly, whatever I can do, I will definitely do it for you!"

"You can definitely do it! It's as simple as staying away from me. I just want to live a peaceful life for a few days."

"Young hero, it's not that I have a bad mouth. Judging from the young hero's appearance, this life must be either rich or noble. But at this young age, he has to go through many hardships. Even if I am not here today, the troubles that the young hero will have in the future will not matter.

It will definitely not be less, how about... you help me these days, and I will stay by your side for the rest of my sunset years to help you protect you from wind and rain, how about that?"

"I don't see, you are really capable of making excuses. It's a good trick. Unfortunately, I'm not stupid either. I don't ask you to protect me from the wind and rain. I just hope that you won't kill the donkey and let us live before leaving." Fang Zhuo said.

After cupping his fists, he turned around and walked downstairs helplessly. The old man's kung fu was by no means ordinary. Judging from the light kung fu of getting off the boat and the speed of getting into the carriage, ordinary people couldn't do it. Fang Zhuo was thinking of such advanced kung fu.

There will be a day when I run away, so what kind of powerful enemy will be chasing me? As the saying goes, the more you know, the sooner you will die, so Fang Zhuo did not plan to ask more questions, and hoped that the old man would not say anything.

I just hope that when I part ways with the old man in the future, the old man will not kill anyone and silence me, so that everyone can be safe.

The old man looked at Fang Zhuo's back going downstairs from the crack in the door and sighed: "Sure enough, heroes emerge from troubled times, and heroes emerge from young men! Mo Yu, if we follow this young man from now on, what do you think?"

The woman who had never spoken a word put the baby on the bed, "This young man is not simple, and he has no murderous intent at all. But in the carriage, the disciple saw the arrows of the crossbow, and they were not a group.

The woman named Bai Yi and her men can tell at a glance that they are not from the Ling'an Kingdom. In such a situation, it would be safer to mix with them." This woman, whom the old man called Mo Yu, said

That's right. If Fang Zhuan and Bai Yi are in the same group, then the old man and her will not be safe. Although they are both highly skilled in martial arts, it is difficult for one person to stop four people. If there are more people, they will still be defeated. Now they have made it clear
