Chapter 70

"They were probably robbed by bandits on their way back home. They had to pass by here from the capital to their ancestral home." Zhou Yue said. They probably didn't expect that Nanshan Mansion was already in chaos.

"I don't know what happened to them, whether they are dead or alive..." Deputy General Wang felt that Zhou Yue's conjecture was correct, but he didn't know what happened to them now.

"Don't think about it, we ourselves are still treated as deserters, and we don't care about others." Lin Shangwu patted Wang Zheng's shoulder, so comforting.

Wang Zheng nodded, and glanced at Zhou Yue, yes, without the Fourth Young Master, he would have died a long time ago, instead of worrying about others, it is better to protect the group of Zhou family, after all, they have something to eat.

"Okay, let's all go eat. I guess the bandits won't come after us tonight. Let's set off early tomorrow morning and get out of here." Zhou Jiacheng arranged.

Everyone hurried back to the fire. The food was already ready and a little cold. They ate as quickly as possible and went into the tent to rest.

On the side of the bandits, a group of people rode horses and ran back halfway up the mountain, only to see a village on the back of the mountain, with the words "Wushan Village" written on the gate impressively.

"Open the door, open the door!" The man on the horse shouted loudly outside the door.

The gatekeeper saw that it was someone from the village, and immediately opened the gate.

"What's going on? Why are you in such a mess?" The person who opened the door saw that the people who came back were covered in blood, and some of them were shot by arrows. They were in a panic.

"Don't mention it! We met a rabbit and became a spirit! It's scary, a big piece!" The man replied.

After entering the gate of the village, the head of the family got the news and immediately woke up the backbone of the village.

In the hall, Wu Yun, the head of Wushan Village, was sitting on top. On both sides were the backbone of the village. Below were people who had returned from outside. Only the seat of the second head was empty.

"What's going on? Who did you meet?" Wu Yun asked, and the shocking voice of the rough ore revived him.

"The first master, the second master found traces of people and bullock carts passing by on the road during the day, and took us to find food after dark. Who knew, me, what we met was not a human at all!" The people below said tremblingly, thinking I still have lingering fears when I get up.

"Nonsense! If it's not a human being, it must be a ghost! Tell me the truth!" Wu Yun slapped the table, and there was a "bang", which shocked everyone.

"Really, they are rabbits! They are all pink fur, with two long ears on their heads, and a white rabbit tail behind them. The male rabbits are very tall, and there are also female rabbits and little rabbits. , they all look the same!" The man said while gesturing, and the bandit backbones in the hall became more energetic as they listened.

Wu Yun glared and looked at the others, and the others who came back nodded one after another, "Yes, that's it, they are very strong and powerful, just because the Erdangjia said that they would take their food and drink, and the Erdangjia died in front of them." I have it!"

"Fart! They must be wearing the same clothes. How could a rabbit become a sperm?" Wu Yun cursed loudly, still not believing what they said.

"But, but we have never seen such clothes, and they are really powerful, and they can also shoot arrows. Many brothers have been shot..."

"Well, I'll take some brothers to see it for myself tomorrow. There is only one mountain road, and they won't be able to walk very far." Wu Yun said, he decided to go out in person to meet the group of rabbit spirits.

It was just dawn, and everyone had packed up and got on their horses. The people in the wolf army put their luggage on the horses, and the group headed towards the fog.

With horses, it was more convenient for them to travel. They fixed the small carts on the saddles, so that they could be used as simple carriages, eliminating the need for human carts.

During the lunch break, Qian Yuanyuan followed Zhou Yue's instructions yesterday and selected a few people to make the carriage. The people from the Wolf Army were responsible for cutting down the trees. After bringing them back, the villagers were responsible for sawing the wood into blocks. Qian Yuanyuan and the others were responsible for drilling and assembling.

Because there were so many people, the first carriage was ready in half an hour.Although there is no carport, it is very convenient for transporting goods and seating people.

After the first one was completed, everyone continued to make the second one.

"Crack~" The sound of dead branches being picked came from the woods by the roadside.

"Who is it?" Wang Zheng shouted loudly, holding a big sword.

"Come out!" Wang Zheng continued to speak without hearing the answer.

I saw a thin young man standing up from the grass, with disheveled hair and dark face. He looked at them and lowered his head without speaking.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Wang Zheng asked, the knife in his hand never relaxing.

"I, I was passing by here on my way home to visit relatives. My family members were captured by bandits, so I fled in the chaos..." The boy explained with a hoarse voice.

After Zhou Yue heard this, she immediately thought of Master Wu and Master Fang, so she asked, "Are you with Master Wu and Master Fang?"

After hearing this, the young man looked towards Zhou Yue, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a crying voice: "Yes, we passed by here two days ago, and unexpectedly a group of bandits appeared. They were so numerous that they robbed us." provided food and carriages, and also captured people and took them to the mountains."

The young man's tears fell down, streaking across his face, leaving a white path on his dark face.

Sure enough, Zhou Yue continued to ask: "How did you escape?" If there were a large number of bandits, he couldn't escape easily.

"It was my family who attracted the attention of the bandits on their way to the bandits' den and asked me to sneak away. I have been walking in the mountains for two days," the boy explained.

Zhou Yue nodded and waved to him, "Come here!"

The boy didn't come forward for a long time.

"You don't have to be afraid, we are just refugees fleeing from the famine on the edge of Pingcheng, are you hungry? Come and have something to eat." Zhou Yue explained to him and invited him to eat.

The boy came here after smelling the scent here. He had been in the forest for two days and only ate a few wild fruits. Seeing the meal they cooked, he moved his steps.

When she came to Zhou Yue, Zhou Yue found that he was a little shorter than herself, probably because she was younger than herself. It was pitiful to encounter such a thing.

She served him a bowl of porridge and Zhou Yue handed it over. The young man looked at Zhou Yue, stretched out his hand to take it, lowered his head and said, "Thank you."

"Let's eat." After Zhou Yue finished speaking, she went to talk to Wang Zheng.

"What kind of people are Master Fang and Master Wu?" Zhou Yue asked.

"Master Wu is an upright official. Although he is a minister of the Ministry of Industry, I heard that his family is not rich. I heard that every year their family prepares the worst rituals. Moreover, their family has the fewest servants." Wang Zheng will know Tell Zhou Yue.

"What about Mr. Fang?"

"Master Fang is a master at judging cases. He has never had an unjust case in his hands. His father, Mrs. Fang, was the former Minister of Dali Temple, and he has never had an unjust case. It can be regarded as a pure and upright family tradition." Wang Zheng still respects Mr. Fang, He admires such people.
