Chapter 180: Highway Bandits

After hearing what Shen Ziyan said, Su Yu was somewhat disappointed, but since he had already said that, he had no reason to keep the Shen family.

He glanced at Shuang Xi and said, "Xi'er, you haven't been here to work for a long time. Why don't you stay and discuss planting vegetables in the winter?"

Seeing Su Yu say this, Shuangxi quickly said: "No, absolutely not." Although Su Yu kept saying that she was her sister, she looked like a big wolf with a wagging tail. She would not stay.

Down!

When Shuangxi said this, everyone focused their attention on Shuangxi. Shuangxi's reaction was a little too intense, and even his face turned slightly red.

Shuangxi felt that everyone's eyes were looking at him, so he quickly added: "I want to go back and take care of the Ice Fairy!"

This reason is acceptable to everyone. Shen Ziyan and Shen Yan do not want Shuangxi to stay here. No matter what reasons Shuangxi gives, they are happy.

But Su Yu felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she felt a little sad... It turned out that... he couldn't even compare to a sick tuber.

For a moment, he even began to envy the young man who was hanging on to his life.

Occasionally when he went to Shen's house and saw Xi'er talking softly and caring for Shen Bingxian carefully, he felt a strong sense of jealousy in his heart.

Deep in her eyes, there was a turbulent undercurrent, and Su Yu secretly thought in her heart: "Sooner or later! You will be mine!" Thinking of this, Su Yu gently smoothed Guangxiu with one hand, and then said to the housekeeper: "Pay.

Fan, go get thirty taels of silver."

The original contract signed between the two families was for twenty taels of silver. Now Su Yu asked Butler Fu to take an extra ten taels of silver, which can be regarded as a reward.

The reward of ten taels of silver was neither more nor less, which was the usual behavior of wealthy families. The two Shen brothers also had Shuangxi, so they did not refuse. After all, the silver was still half of the Yun family's, and they had no right to refuse it.

Reward silver.

After a while, Butler Fu came over with a money bag. It was an exquisite red money bag with rich peonies embroidered with gold thread. This money bag alone was probably worth some money.

Inside were two large silver horns worth ten taels of silver, and the rest were scattered pieces of silver worth ten taels.

Along with the money, he also took a food box, which contained some food, including Xi'er's favorite crispy drunken mandarin duck.

Su Yu's elegant voice slowly sounded: "I'm afraid I will trouble Xi'er and the other gentlemen of the Shen family in the future. Please accept this little thing."

If Su Yu suddenly gave her a big gift, she might even wonder if it was because of what happened that night that Su Yu took more care of her and declined or refused.

But Su Yu's gift was just right. There was nothing special about it, so Shuangxi calmly took the thing from Butler Fu's hand. He handed the food box to Shen Ziyan and carefully put the money away.

.

The sun was setting when we arrived, and we had dinner at Su Mansion. The sky was already dark, so the few of them did not dare to delay and went back directly.

Su Yu asked someone to send it off, but was rejected. The distance was not very far, and there were two grown men, Shen Ziyan and Shen Yan. Naturally, no one else was needed to send it off.

When the three of them arrived at the gate of Su Mansion, there were already smart young men leading the ox cart from the back door to the road outside the mansion.

Su Yu watched Shuangxi being carried into an oxcart by Shen Ziyan, and then the oxcart slowly drove out of his sight. Looking at the empty street, he stood with his hands behind his hands, with a sad emptiness.

There is nothing more heartbreaking than watching the person you care about being taken away by another man, right?

On the oxcart is a happy and happy family, but at the door of the Su Mansion is a frustrated noble son...

Butler Fu naturally did not dare to disturb his young master, nor did he dare to leave first, so he had to stand not far behind Su Yu to accompany him.

The Shen family's oxcart arrived at the area next to the grove, which happened to be in the middle of the village and Qingshi Town. By this time, it was already dark.

It was a coincidence that there was a thick layer of dark clouds floating in the sky, making the whole sky even darker.

Although the dark clouds did not mean that it would rain immediately, according to experience in the mountains, it was likely that it would rain heavily soon. Several people became anxious and wanted to get home as soon as possible.

Shen Ziyan whipped the cow to make it go faster. If it really rained, several people might get wet, but he and his second brother didn't care...

Thinking of this, Shen Ziyan glanced at Shuangxi in the dark. He couldn't see the real Shuangxi, but his eyes were still full of warmth. It was not good to see Shuangxi.

Squeak...squeak...

After all, it was an ox cart. No matter how fast the ox was, it could not go faster than the horse. Moreover, the wooden cart was old and made creaking sounds from time to time on the quiet road.

Just when several people were anxiously trying to rush home, several black figures suddenly appeared in front of the bullock cart.

Even in the darkness, Shen Ziyan could see that there were a few people in front of him, and he quickly shouted: "Fellows in front of you, please hide." After saying that, he quickly went to pull the oxen, slowing down the oxcart.

After all, oxen are different from horses in that their reactions are not very flexible. Even though Shen Ziyan used all his strength to pull the reins, his speed did not slow down much.

Shen Ziyan had already shouted like this, but the four figures in front showed no intention of avoiding him.

Shuangxi's face turned pale as he sat on the bullock cart. The bullock cart was probably going to... hit those people, right?

But the situation that worried Shuangxi did not happen, because with the heavy thump of the oxcart, the oxcart actually stopped.

The sudden sudden braking caused Shuangxi to tilt left and right on the bullock cart, and he almost fell off the cart. Fortunately, Shen Yan had quick eyes and quick hands and helped Shuangxi.

Shen Yan supported Shuangxi and jumped out of the bullock cart, and Shen Ziyan naturally got off the bullock cart as well.

Shuangxi glanced towards the wheel and saw a large black mass, probably a stone or something, stuck in front of the wheel.

Shuangxi breathed a sigh of relief and thanked this god-like stone for saving his family from a troublesome incident.

The four people who were blocking the road in front gathered towards the bullock cart.

When Shuangxi saw these people, he became very angry. He said angrily: "You guys are deaf. You even called for a car to come, but you didn't even get out of the way! If I hadn't been lucky today, I'm afraid you would have been killed."

The bullock cart crashed!"

Shuangxi's tone is not very good, and I can't blame Shuangxi. If this matter is placed on anyone, his tone will probably not be good. Although he is not the one who is injured, if the bullock cart hurts someone else, he will definitely have to bear the responsibility.

responsible.

But this responsibility was too inexplicable! How could anyone rush in front of someone else’s car! The people in the car were already shouting and running away. Those people didn’t react at all!

Fortunately... fortunately, I didn't bump into anyone. Thinking of this, Shuangxi's face brightened slightly.

"Hey, the little lady is quite angry!" one of the four people gathered around said coldly. From the sound and the vague figure, he seemed to be a middle-aged man.

When you say angry words, you are full of energy.

Shuangxi heard that there was no apology in this man's words. There seemed to be a hint of provocation, and he immediately became vigilant. The people in ancient times were simple and simple. When encountering such a thing, most of the simple old farmers would apologize immediately.

But these people don't look like good people.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, his figure was definitely not what a person in the village should have. Since he was not from Qingshi Village, why did he appear on the road leading to Qingshi Village from this town when night fell?

These people are all big-bodied and round-waisted, and they look like they are good fighters.

Shuangxi couldn't help but associate these people in a bad direction.

On weekdays, the parents would talk about some strange things that happened in the village, such as this highway bandit...

Three or five men formed a group and stood guard on the road from the village to the town, tying up the belongings of passers-by. Because they relied on the cover of the night, no one would see their true faces clearly after a robbery.

What's more, some people will cover their faces with face coverings... Think about it, they are hiding in the dark and wearing face coverings. Who can see clearly what these thieves look like? Even if they report to the official, it will be in vain.

So whoever encounters a roadblock can only be said to be unlucky.

Fortunately, these roadblocks only take money without harming lives. As long as you hand over the money obediently, I guarantee that they won't hurt you at all. After all, people are looking for money, so how can they waste time with these passers-by? Once you get the money, hurry up.

Pulling and calling is the way to go.

Of course, if they encounter someone who is stubbornly resisting, the highway bandit will not mind using some tricks to snatch it directly. As long as no one is killed, the government will not hold on to it.

Shen Ziyan spoke at this time and said warmly: "Since I didn't hit any of the fellow villagers, I would like to ask some of the fellow villagers to get out of the way and let the ox cart pass..." Shen Ziyan was not stupid. When he said this, he had already noticed that something was wrong with the situation.

, but there is still indispensable temptation.

There was a sneer from the four people on the opposite side: "Give way? It's not impossible to give way, it's just..." After saying this, he stopped, as if he was a little embarrassed to continue.

Shuangxi then asked: "Just what?" It was obvious that these people had an agenda. It would be better to open the skylight and speak openly and chirp, which was not Shuangxi's style.

Whether it's blessing or goods, you can't avoid it, so Shuangxi asked this question.

Seeing Shuangxi take over the conversation, a voice came from the opposite side. It was the voice that teased Shuangxi in the first place: "This little lady is so impatient. My brothers are staying here late at night for no other reason than to have something to do."

It's tight, please ask this young lady and these two gentlemen to help me."

Bah! This is a nice thing to say. Help! Help? It’s just fart. If you really give money to these people, it’s obviously like a meat bun beating a dog - you will never come back! (To be continued. If you like this work
