Chapter 1061 There are bandits

Mrs. Luo is a tea merchant in Jinxiu City. Her husband died when she was young. She took her son alone and guarded the huge family business, making the Luo family's tea business bigger and bigger.

But she didn't think that her son would be weak and sick after being raised. She had no choice but to continue to do business in other places when she was old.

It was very hard work, but for such a big family, she endured it all the time.

Miss Du admired Mrs. Luo very much, and asked Cui Ya to bring some snacks to Mrs. Luo during the break.

Mrs. Luo was also very generous and asked her maid to return some fruits to Miss Du.

There were five or six shops in their team. Xining was sparsely populated, and it was lunch time when they couldn't reach the inn where they stayed halfway. Everyone started to eat something simple before getting ready to go on the road.

The loess was dusty on the low hillside, Miss Du frowned slightly as she ate the food.

"Mrs. Luo, what do you see over there?"

It was the first time for Miss Du to travel far away, and she always asked Mrs. Luo about the things she didn't understand along the way.

Madam Luo glanced at it, put down the water bag in her hand, and said, "I'm afraid some bandits are coming."

"Bandits?" Miss Du's complexion changed, but seeing that everyone just took a look and didn't think it was a big deal that a bandit was coming, she slowly let out a sigh of relief.

This place is very desolate, and it is a place where bandits are prone to haunt. Miss Du's team was unlucky and happened to meet them.

Miss Du said with some doubts: "Since there are bandits coming, why don't you run away?"

Mrs. Luo looked familiar, and said: "It's normal to have bandits here, but Miss Du don't have to worry, we just need to pay some money, and they won't make things difficult for us."

"Are bandits so easy to talk to?" Miss Du looked at Huangsha who was getting closer in disbelief.

Mrs. Luo said: "The bandits are looking for money, not life, so there is no need to kill chickens and take eggs. Every time they collect some money, they let the merchants go away, and they can collect more next time. If they rob the merchants once and lose all their money, There will be no next time, and now the bandits have learned to be smart."

Miss Du: "..."

"Then how much silver is appropriate?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Their leaders will come according to the actual situation of the businessmen. Miss Du, if your business is big, there will probably be more."

"what……?"

Miss Du has never encountered such a strange thing since she grew up.

She had never encountered a bandit before, so she was still a little worried.

She put the cloak around her head and shouted to Cui Ya who was burning tea behind, "Cui Ya, don't burn it, the bandits are coming."

Cuiya also had never encountered bandits before. In her opinion, bandits are masters who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. She was so frightened at the moment that a pot of tea that was about to boil was overturned on the ground. There is no need to boil the tea.

Cui Ya swiftly cleaned up the mess, put all her things into the carriage, and when she was in a hurry, those bandits had already turned over the low hillsides ahead and came after them on fast horses.

"Miss." Facing the bandits, Cui Ya was terrified, but still stopped Miss Du behind her.

Miss Du said: "Cuiya, get out of the way and prepare some money."

Mrs. Luo and the others didn't look like they were facing a formidable enemy. Anyway, they looked familiar, and naturally took out the box containing the silver.

It looks like it was prepared in advance,

Miss Du heaved a sigh of relief, and only hoped that these bandits would stop talking too much, but she just listened to Mrs. Luo's opinion, and it would not be too much, after all, what they were asking for was a long-term meal ticket.
