Chapter 151 Arriving at Yunzhou Prefecture

"Let's go? In the next life! Now that you're here, let's go on the road with your brothers, so as not to be too lonely on the road to Huangquan."

The icy voice seemed to have been soaked in ice water, and it made one feel a chill all over his body, as cold as waiting for a winter night.

"Hero, we have grudges against you, why do we have to drive us all to death?" a bandit asked tremblingly.

Li Mo has never been a talkative person, and he can't move his mouth if he can do it, even more so now.

The shot must be quick, the recognition of the position must be accurate, the mentality must be steady, the strength must be ruthless, and no one will be left alive. Besides, these people have no need to live in this world.

Li Mo shot very quickly, raised the knife with both hands like thunder, and slashed outward with force, blood spattered, and a red light suddenly appeared, a bandit had followed his fellow brothers and sisters to the underworld.

Before the scream could penetrate the eardrums, the knife was pulled out and thrown, piercing the heart of a bandit who rushed forward.

Li Mo followed the trend, drew his knife, and chopped off a bandit's neck. His head rolled on the ground several times before stopping. His wide-eyed eyes looked terrifying in the night.

In such a breath, only four of the seven remained.

It's too scary, this is a human or a ghost, or should be called a demon, a demon from the eighteenth hell.

Running was the only thought in their minds.

Seeing that the remaining four bandits turned around and wanted to run away, Li Mo took out a dagger from his arms and waved away.

It hit the back of the head directly, and one person struggled with his legs twice, rolled his eyes immediately, and fell to the ground.

There were still three people left, and they threw the weapons in their hands on the ground in a panic. Their faces were covered with water, and they didn't know whether it was sweat or rain.

His legs were trembling, and he couldn't run anymore, but he was still lucky, hoping that the killing god would let them go, that everyone would have no grievances, and that they had already surrendered.

Looking at the silly mountain bandit standing in front of him like a puppet, Li Mo sneered, "I'm really sorry for not cutting off your heads, I've come so hard.

This group of bandits didn't understand until their death that they died in the hands of someone, and they didn't know when they offended such a terrifying killing god.

The rain started to fall again, and the rain was bigger than before, and it hurt people.

It was getting colder, and the burning house had been doused by the heavy rain. Without the light of the fire, it looked more desolate and gloomy.

Fortunately, the sky has already started to turn white, otherwise I really can't see my fingers.

The screaming woman continued to scream, and her throat didn't break after so long. It seemed that if she didn't receive psychological treatment in time, her life might be ruined.

Li Mo sighed, walked over looking for the sound, knocked her out with a knife in his hand, this is the fastest way to make people shut up.

Picking up the woman, he walked carefully in front of everyone, then gently placed her on the ground, and said to the others as if comforting: "She's fine, just let her sleep."

Everyone looked at Li Mo in horror, fearing that Li Mo would kill them the next moment.

Li Mo walked over, and the women and children took a step back in horror.

...

It's still raining, and it's freezing cold, so I have to find a place to shelter from the rain, and this is not a place to stay for a long time. I don't know if the bandits have backup.

The people here are either injured, old people, or children. They need to leave quickly.

Just, how to leave?Injured and disabled, do you have a car?

There are horses, but do they know how to ride them?

Li Mo rummaged through all the bandits' wallets and only found five taels of silver. No wonder they had to rob their homes. Thirty people found such a small amount of money. It is really poor enough. It is pitiful for bandits to do this. of.

Li Mo wanted to take all the horses away, and he could sell them for money if he didn't need them, but what about this group of people?
But if I don't take it away, I'm really sorry for myself. These are all money.

In the end, Li Mo took all the horses away, otherwise his conscience would hurt.

Supporting each other, a group of people stumbled to the small cave where Li Mo and Feng Chen rested temporarily. It was already an hour later.

Crazy Chen heard the movement outside, so frightened, he quickly took out the knife.

Li Mo: "Old Chen, it's me."

Crazy Chen saw such a big battle, he ran out, pointed at this group of people in a panic, and asked Li Mo: "Mr. Li, what's going on?"

In front of outsiders, Crazy Chen usually calls Li Mo Mr. Li.

Li Mo: "Go ahead and talk about it later."

The cave is too small to accommodate so many people. The old man and the children squeeze each other in the cave, and the others can only stay outside.

Li Mo took out both his and Feng Chen's bamboo hats and coir raincoats, and used branches to prop up a small canopy next to the cave, under which firewood was lit.

Fortunately, I picked up enough branches, otherwise there would not be enough to burn.

The body finally warmed up a little bit, and the head of the family, that is, the old man, slowly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

The village is called Shiyan Village, and the old man's name is Yang Yuan. He is in his early fifties this year. He is an authentic Shiyan Villager. The two men are his sons.

Due to various reasons, the two brothers have already separated.

Shiyan Village was a big village a long time ago, but everyone lived scatteredly.

I don't know when it started, there are many bandits in this area, and they often enter the village to rob.

It was okay at first, they were just robbing money and not hurting people.

It's just that when you go to the back, you start to rob people, and when you meet someone who resists, you will directly execute the Fa on the spot.

The villagers are miserable, and there is no way to live like this.

Someone reported it to the local government. After a long time, the government sent two yamen servants to come over for a symbolic look, and then there was no further comment.

Rely on them to suppress the bandits, in the next life.

Unexpectedly, after the bandits found out about this incident, they launched revenge. In one night, except for the beautiful woman, everyone in Shiyan Village was slaughtered, all the houses were burned down, and all the money was robbed.

On the day of the accident, Yang Yuan's family was not at home, so they escaped the catastrophe.

The entire village was gone. They thought that the bandits would no longer miss their village, and at the same time relaxed their vigilance.

Who knew that bandits would make a comeback. If Li Mo hadn't appeared, they would have followed in the footsteps of the villagers.

Yang Yuan suddenly knelt down, with tears running down his face: "Thank you benefactor for saving me, otherwise the old family would have died under the knife."

Li Mo quickly helped the old man up, looked at the wounds in this family, old and young, and asked with concern, "What are your plans for the future?"

Everyone looked at Yang Yuan, waiting for his reply.

Yang Yuan looked sad, and couldn't help but feel sad: "The family is gone, and we don't know where we will go next. It doesn't matter if you are old. An old bone may go to the west at any time. It's just that the children are poor. The thieves ruined it."

Thinking of the situation in the future, Yang Yuan's family was very depressed, and some people started to cry softly.

Yang Yuan suddenly looked at Li Mo with burning eyes: "Grandfather, I know you are a capable person, please take the two sisters away."

It was about the two girls who had just reached Ji.

In fact, what he wanted to say was, you take the two sisters, and they will be yours from now on. There is no way to repay the great kindness, but you can only promise each other with your body.

Li Mo was taken aback, why did it suddenly involve her?Could it be that in the eyes of outsiders, she is someone who can be trusted for life?
A man dragged his weak body and knelt down: "I beg you benefactor to take the two sisters away."

If the bandits come again next time, the two women and their grown-up daughter will be the most dangerous.

Men are not afraid, isn't it just death? If you cut it off, you will be a good man again 18 years later.

But women are different, I am afraid that they will not even have the chance to die.

Hearing that their family members wanted to send the two of them away, the two girls cried and shouted: "No, we won't leave, and we won't go there either. The whole family will die together."

Yang Yuan yelled loudly: "That's the decision, you go with benefactor, staying is also a kind of torture."

Finally, he closed his eyes and said heavily: "Never come back, forget about us."

"Grandfather, father, mother, we are not going there." The crying and shouting mixed together, and the scene was very touching.

Li Mo touched his nose, you haven't asked me yet, why did you make your own decision, it's so disrespectful.

"Cough, cough, everyone, sorry to bother you." Li Mo couldn't help interrupting them.

Yang Yuan wiped away tears: "Grandfather, tell me!"

Li Mo: "Don't call me so benevolently. It's so awkward. My name is Li Mo. I'm going to Yunzhou Prefecture on business. I really can't bring the two girls with me."

When Yang Yuan heard this, his face changed greatly. How can this be done: "Grandpa, do you despise them? The two sisters promise not to cause trouble for you."

Li Mo: "You misunderstood, it's not disgusting, I really have something to do, your family must be neat and tidy, don't fall apart because of temporary difficulties, I still have some money here, you take it, find a place to settle down Come down, and sell all these horses, there should be a lot of income, enough to support you for a long time."

Five taels of silver were found from the bandits, and Li Mo took out another five taels of silver.

Yang Yuan: "These horses belong to Mr. Benedict. How can we sell them? Even if we sell them, the money should belong to you."

Li Mo didn't allow them to refuse: "That's the deal."

Yang Yuan's family fell into deep thought, the world is so big, where can they have a foothold?

While drying the clothes, Yang Yuan's family discussed where to stay.

It was approaching noon, everyone was too tired and fell asleep, and it was time for Li Mo to set off.

Before leaving, Li Mo took out all the dry food. Although it was not much, it could solve the temporary problem.

However, before walking 50 meters, there was a cry from behind: "Heng'er, wake up, don't scare your mother."

Then came the man's low voice: "Heng'er, be good, wake up quickly."

Everyone was woken up, and there was a panic.

Did something happen?
Li Mo threw the reins to Feng Chen and ran back.

He asked anxiously, "What's wrong with the child?"

Due to a night of fear, coupled with being drenched in rain and biting cold wind, two children developed a high fever at the same time, and have passed out by now.

It was alright when we first came here, but after the rain stopped, Li Mo and Crazy Chen stayed with Ma'er and left the cave and canopy to Yang Yuan's family.

When I set off just now, I didn't deliberately greet them, I just put the dry food at the entrance of the cave and left. I really didn't know that the child had a fever.

The woman who was hysterical last night is fully awake at this moment, hugging a child, shaking desperately: "Yu'er, mother, please wake up quickly."

As a mother, you are strong, everything you experienced last night is not as important as the life of your child.

Li Mo stepped forward and found that the foreheads of the two children were terribly hot. There was no thermometer, and according to the feeling in their hands, it was at least [-] degrees.

The temperature must be lowered immediately, such a small child will burn people's brains out.

In Li Mo's luggage, there are only medicines for bruises and a set of silver needles, and there are really no antipyretics.

And trauma medicine has been given to many two middle-aged men.

Fortunately, there was a small bottle of strong wine, which was bought by Li Mo on the way here. It is said that this wine is very strong. Li Mo has no intention of drinking it, but just wants to know how strong it is.

Li Mo asked the two women: "Did the clothes dry before the child went to bed?"

There is plenty of firewood, and the temperature in the cave is very high.

The two women blamed themselves very much: "The clothes were not dry, and I saw them falling asleep, so I ignored them."

Without medicinal materials, even if there is medicine, there is no way to fry it.

Now I can only rely on this bottle of wine.

He ordered them to take off the child's clothes. Everyone didn't know what Li Mo was going to do, but they obeyed the order.

Li Mo took out the wine, poured it on his hands and wiped the child's body, especially the armpits and neck.

After the small bottle of wine was used up, Li Mo injected the two children with silver needles.

Fortunately, the physical fitness of the two children was very good, and after an hour, their body temperature slowly dropped.

After such an interruption, Li Mo couldn't leave for the time being.

By the time we set off again, it was already the next morning.

Together, Yang Yuan's family decided to go to the nearest county town to live temporarily, and then slowly figure out how to make a living.

You have to pass through that county town to go to Yunzhou Mansion, so let’s go along the way, so you can have someone to take care of you. This family is old and small, and the two little girls are so beautiful. Unable to arrive safely.

There are horses, but other people don't know how to ride them. Those who don't know how to ride horses should walk.

...

On the 11th day, I finally arrived at Yunzhou Mansion before closing the city gate.

It's already the first day of the new year, and the streets are very lively. Generally, there is no curfew during the New Year and holidays.

At night, Yunzhou Fucheng is crowded with people, because there will be activities such as guessing lantern riddles at night, and there will be prizes for guessing correctly, which attracts many people to come.

When he arrived at Yunzhou Mansion, Crazy Chen was very silent, and Li Mo didn't bother him, leaving him to be quiet for a while.

Li Mo decided to take a good rest, and went to visit Lei Mansion tomorrow.

The original county magistrate was surnamed Lei, and now he is a money and food official. This is a fat job, and it seems that the officialdom is doing well.

Lei's Mansion is easy to find, rich or powerful people live here on East Street.

It was very cold in Yunzhou Fucheng on the second day of the Lunar New Year. After the excitement last night, there were very few pedestrians on the street today. It was too cold and no one wanted to go out.

Many shops will not open until the [-]th day. Only inns and hard-working vendors are open during the day, and most of what they sell are Chinese New Year snacks.

Li Mo squatted around the Lei Mansion for most of the day, and found wave after wave of officials who went in to pay New Year's greetings.

When he came, the wheels of the carriage were almost deformed. When he left, it was obvious that the carriage was empty. How much money did he take? The money came too easily.

Li Mo rubbed his chin, he was also an official, why no one gave me presents during festivals.
