Ying Bao used all her strength to tighten his neck, regardless of the nails of his hands digging into her arms, and the blade in his hand even pierced half of her arm.
The boy was in pain and did not dare to exert any more force, so he just held the girl's arm tightly.
When Ying Bao saw that her father, second cousin and aunt had already run over, she immediately asked them to trap the boy's hands and feet and put him in the carriage, call Xiao Hei back, and then drove away.
The group of people chased after him like crazy, "Let him down! Let him down!"
Seeing that these people were about to stop the carriage, Ying Bao threw the apples and melons on the carriage at them one by one.
The robbers were stunned. Some of them couldn't hold back and bent down to pick it up.
Two of them got the cantaloupe, smelled the attractive melon aroma, and started to eat it on the spot.
God knows how long it has been since they had food, but they still couldn't stop eating this fresh and sweet melon.
Just like that, there were only two people chasing the carriage.
Because when Xiao Hei Pu bites people, he is also attacked by those people with sticks and sickles.
Ying Bao felt relieved and asked Jiang Quan to let the boy go.
Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Yunniang also understood what Ying Bao meant and didn't say anything.
Jiang Sanlang recounted what happened on the road again, and finally said: "I think that group of people look like refugees fleeing famine. I don't know where they came from. We must be more careful. I will talk to the villagers about this when we get back."
And her family's carriage often travels between the county town and the countryside, so there is no guarantee that it will not be stopped by these people again.
Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang were also very happy to see their third brother and they quickly turned the carriage around.
This group of people stopped at the intersection and robbed them, causing harm to many people. My family only escaped by chance, so of course they had to report it to the police.
On this day, Li Zheng suddenly came to the door with a dozen or so villagers and handed the list in his hand to Jiang Sanlang.
During the Chinese New Year, there was actually a group of refugees wandering around Qinchuan County and blocking roads. This was very wrong.
There are two sons in Jiang Dalang's family, Jiang Da and his second son Jiang Quan, so one of them must go to the battle.
After returning home, Yingbao took Xiao Hei to the stove and made a nest for him out of old cotton wool behind the stove.
Jiang Quan was puzzled: "Since you want to report to the police, why did you let that little robber go?"
The two of them didn't catch up anymore, either because they were tired from running or something.
After driving for another hour, I saw a carriage coming from the opposite side in the distance, with torches still burning on the carriage.
Fortunately, their cotton-padded clothes were thick, so these knife edges only scratched the cotton-padded clothes and did not hurt the skin.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, many people go out to visit relatives and friends. Once they encounter them, it is not fun.
The carriage was still speeding, and Jiang Sanlang asked: "Shall we go report to the official?"
"I want to tell you all, if we encounter banditry like the year before last, it will be terrible." Old Man Jiang said, "Even if it doesn't happen, it would be good to give a warning to those who are traveling."
By then, it won’t just be about cutting corners to ask for money.
At this time, Ying Bao was already relieved. With the help of her uncle and uncle, she was not afraid even if there was another wave of robbers.
Xiao Hei was shaking all over in pain, but remained motionless, allowing his little master to give him stitches and apply medicine.
The carriage arrived at the door of the post station, and Jiang Sanlang got out of the car and told the postman what had happened.
January always goes by very quickly, people are eating, drinking, having fun, and February is soon here.
The situation of the patriarch's son's family is basically the same as that of Jiang Dalang's family, and one person was also recruited.
I don't know how many miles I ran before I saw a post station ahead.
"Why... why is there another conscription?" This time, the people were cut off like leeks one after another, and they could not live in peace for a few years.
When the two cars met, Uncle Jiang couldn't help but ask: "How come this time?"
It was getting dark, and the postmen finally came back, but did not find the robbers.
Yingbao rubbed its head and stuffed two pills into its mouth.
He took out the catgut and sewing needle, sewed up the wound on Xiao Hei's body, and then applied medicinal powder.
"It's okay." Jiang Sanlang shook his head, feeling scared when he thought about it. "It's also because we came back late." If we had left earlier, maybe we wouldn't have encountered these things.
It's a pity that my hedgehog was lost like this after being kept in the cave for so long.
But Xiao Hei was seriously injured.
Jiang Sanlang didn't hide anything, and told the whole story roughly: "I met a few robbers on the road, so I took some time."
Of course, Jiang Sanlang was also taken to identify him.
Ying Bao gave everyone a pill to cheer them up, and then quietly took out two Wudingzhi leaves and stuffed them into Xiao Hei's mouth.
Dahuang also came over to join in the fun, pushing his head forward as hard as he could, and when his little master finally touched his head, he wagged his tail like a hot wheel.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, old man Jiang was standing under a saponaria tree holding a lantern, waiting anxiously.
Sun Lizheng closed the roster: "The governor of Yizhou has rebelled, and the Liao bandits are causing trouble. This year, the state government is recruiting troops in every county. Our township alone will have to recruit 200 people. Alas."
Jiang Quan glanced at his third uncle a little guiltily and whispered, "It's all my fault." If he hadn't insisted on doing Guanpu business, his cousin and his third uncle wouldn't have waited until the afternoon to rush back.
The young man was pushed out of the carriage and fell to the side of the road, but he staggered up, covered his neck and ran back.
Ying Bao: "Just in case." If I don't keep my word and send the teenage boy to the inn, if one of the boy's family members escapes, they will definitely find ways to get back.
"Encountered a robber? Are you hurt?" Jiang Erlang asked hurriedly.
"As long as it's okay, let's go back quickly. The whole family is waiting for you to have New Year's Eve dinner." Jiang Erlang said.
Ying Bao had no hope of chasing the robbers, but she still quietly waited for news on the carriage and cleaned Xiao Hei's wounds.
Xiao Hei finished the meal obediently and licked his little master's face with his tongue.
Before leaving, the postman kindly gave them two torches and told them to be careful on the way.
The two cars drove back one behind the other, carefully guarding their surroundings.
Fortunately, there was still unmelted snow in the fields, so everyone's eyes would not be blinded.
"The imperial court is recruiting troops this spring. A total of ten people from your village will be sent out."
He was relieved when he saw his children and grandchildren all back. "Why is it so late?"
Yingbao recognized her carriage at a glance and couldn't help shouting in surprise. "Uncle! Second uncle!"
Jiang Sanlang drove the carriage carefully and remained silent all the way.
The aunt and second cousin were not seriously injured. Their arms and bodies were hit with sticks, and their cotton-padded clothes also received several cuts.
Jiang Sanlang was a little downcast and ordered Jiang Quan to drive away in a carriage.
The post soldiers went to report to Yi Cheng again, and Yi Cheng immediately summoned a dozen soldiers and chased them out on horseback.
By this time, it was almost dark.
Ying Bao smashed the last two apples over and threw the empty basket towards them.
The carriage drove quickly and soon drove far away.
Two hundred young men were sent out for this expedition, and in the end it was unknown how many would come back.
Even Chen Sanyou's eldest son's family had to fight.
These lists are issued from the county government's household registration office, and the names of the families who should be born are clearly remembered.
Yingbao nodded: "I want to report to the official!"
…
At this time, there were not only swellings left by the sticks on its body, but also several bloody cuts.
Jiang Sanlang took the roster and looked through it, and couldn't help but frown, because he found that there were more than two thousand people in Qinchuan County going to war.
What does this mean? It means that there are heavy casualties on the front line, and a large number of soldiers need to be transferred from various counties to fill the vacancies.
"Can I buy more pawns this time?" Jiang Sanlang asked.
Sun Lizheng glanced at him and said seriously: "I know that your village is rich, but it is because of this that I have to remind you that no matter what, the number of people from our village cannot be less."
Please give me a monthly ticket at the end of the month. If you have extra monthly tickets, please support Erjiu. Thank you.
