Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 984 Meeting the real one

"Help, help me! Someone is trying to kill me, help!"

The woman's whole body was in a mess. It could be seen that she was originally wearing good materials and that her family was not bad, but now her hair was messy and her clothes were ragged, making her look very embarrassed.

Lu Baichuan, Qin Jian and others were about to leave, but they could only stop when they saw this and watched the woman run in front of them and fall next to the horse.

She gasped and cried, "Please two kindhearted people, please save the little girl and her family! The little girl is kowtowing to you, please!"

As long as you are a normal person, you will not stand idly by when seeing such a scene, especially Lu Baichuan and others are still officials of the imperial court, and it is their duty to make decisions for the people's grievances.

Hearing this, Qin Jian asked: "Please tell me more clearly, what happened?"

"There are bandits in the mountains ahead. The little girl's family and servants are still up there. I came down to ask for help!"

The woman cried miserably. Her family tried their best to stop the bandits and told her to run away. She was frightened and frightened. After running for a long time without seeing anyone, she was almost desperate, but at this moment she saw Lu Baichuan and his party.

"Please save my family! I'm willing to act like a cow or a horse for you, please."

This girl can be considered a kind and righteous person. She did not leave her family alone, but really asked for help along the way.

Hearing this, Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian looked at each other. Are there really bandits in this area?

That’s weird, why didn’t the local officials report it?

They originally chose this place because it was relatively remote. No one would notice it at ordinary times, and no one would have any impression when they suddenly mentioned it. Unexpectedly, they actually encountered it.

"You lead the way and go take a look."

The road on the mountain was not easy to ride on, so everyone tied their horses in the woods and followed the girl up the mountain.

The girl knelt and kowtowed to them to thank them, and then hurriedly walked in front to lead the way.

She was a little nervous, always worried that she could not remember the way, and it would be bad if she got lost in the mountains.

Fortunately, the mountain road wasn't too difficult, and she didn't take any detours when she came here, so she could remember it clearly.

She was very tired and her legs were shaking, but she didn't dare to slow down even a minute. Her speed was related to the lives of her family.

Everyone also saw that she was anxious, and the speed of her feet increased a little.

"just in front!"

The woman pointed to a nearby place with a very excited tone. She felt that her whole body was full of motivation, and she ran over there with all her strength. When she got closer, she saw no one, but there was a strong smell of blood.

"Mom and dad! Big brother!"

She saw a group of people lying not far away, including her family's servants and relatives. Among them, her sister-in-law and other maids were missing. She thought they must have been kidnapped by the thieves.

The woman was so sad that she fainted from crying.

Lu Baichuan and the others didn't bring many people this time, and there were no female guards. They were just a group of old men, so it was really inconvenient to check the situation.

Lu Baichuan could only direct the two unmarried guards to go over and take a look, while he, Qin Jian and others checked around.

There was no one around here. Apparently the bandits went back after robbing them.

However, why did they let this woman go? Could it be that they just wanted to attract more people with this woman?

But even so, those people were not guarding the area. He checked and found that there was really no one nearby.

Soon, the woman woke up, crawled up to Lu Baichuan, and cried, "Sir, please help me save my sister-in-law and the maids at home. They are all poor women..."

As she said this, the woman felt sad and looked like she was about to faint again.Among the corpses on the ground were not only adults, but also her three- and four-year-old nieces and nephews!

Those thieves who kill thousands of people will not even spare children.

"Don't worry, girl, we will handle this matter."

Lu Baichuan looked like he was on business, turned around and went out to check.

They were originally here to suppress bandits, so it would be nice if they could benefit the people by the way.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Lu Baichuan felt very uncomfortable. When his people fled, it was even worse than now.

"Do you know where the gangsters' dens are?"

Qin Jian turned back and wanted to inquire about the specific situation.

"I have no idea……"

The woman cried and shook her head, "Our family planned to find a paradise place to live, so we moved here. Unexpectedly, we would suffer such a disaster on the way. Wuwuwu..."

Nowadays, people with money and wealth like to find a place where no one will disturb them to live their own life. There is nothing to question about this. Qin Jian sighed and said, "The matter is over. My condolences, girl."

"You guys will take this girl down the mountain first and settle down in the city. Baichuan and I will go look for the bandits' dens and see if we can feed them a pot."

Qin Jian felt that without knowing the other party's situation, the fewer people the better. Moreover, he and Lu Baichuan had worked together for many years and were relatively familiar with each other's meanings. They could communicate effectively and improve efficiency with just one look.

Lu Baichuan thought so too, but the woman was a little hesitant. She had just been scared by bandits and she didn't dare to trust others.

"I...can I follow you, sir? I have been used as bait!"

She tried hard to make herself look valuable, but obviously Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian didn't think so.

"unnecessary."

They refused simply. They just went to investigate the situation, and they didn't need weak people as bait.

The woman was very disappointed and said: "I, I want to collect the bodies of my parents..."

Lu Baichuan nodded and had no objection. As a child, this is what you should do.

Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian left, and the others stayed behind to help the woman dig a hole and bury the body. Although they died unexpectedly, they could still be buried in peace.

Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian were walking up the mountain. Fortunately, it was dinner time, and they saw smoke from the mountains not far away. They must be cooking.

Qin Jian licked his dry lips and said, "That's great. We can still catch a meal if we go now."

Lu Baichuan glanced at him vaguely, and suddenly regretted bringing him with him.

Why do you feel like this guy becomes more and more unreliable after he gets married?
Qin Jian didn't think it was anything. He learned this from his younger siblings. Only when he's full can he have the strength to work!

Lu Baichuan said no more and continued walking forward. The forest in this deep mountain and old forest was already dense and it was impossible to walk on horseback. Fortunately, both of them were good at light skills, so it didn't take much effort.

When they reached the next hilltop, Lu Baichuan climbed up a big tree, took out the clairvoyance given by his wife and looked at the place where the smoke was coming from.

It is indeed a den of thieves. It looks relatively new, so it must have just been established.

That shouldn't be the case. Bandits that have just taken over are generally not very strong and they don't dare to be so rampant. This group of people dares to kill people blatantly and leave them alive to go out and look for people. It's obviously not as simple as they thought.
