Chapter 161 Bandit
Ugh……

Yang Liang was secretly worried. Based on the clues provided by Ah-Dai, trying to find his home was no less than finding a needle in a haystack.

However, if he can't find his home, do he really have to take the two of them with him and become their father and mother?

【You have a new task】

Yang Liang opened the task prompt, and a new task line appeared on the taskbar:

[Help Ke Shouming find his parents and be rewarded with 1000 destiny coins]

Seeing this task prompt, Yang Liang breathed a sigh of relief. At least, this time he was no longer busy in vain.

First, I got two pieces of useful information. One was the boy's name, and the other was that his parents were still alive. This was much better than finding a needle in a haystack.

Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, Ke Shouming is really the boy in front of him.

If the system refers to another person, then it's really a mistake.

He looked at the little boy: "Ah-Dai, is your surname Ke?"

Duan frowned again and said, "I don't remember."

"..."

Yang Liang was silent for a while, then asked: "Then do you remember when you separated from your parents?"

Duan thought for a while and said: "I remember it was a temple fair that day, and there were many people on the street. We crossed the river when we left the door, and entered the city after crossing the river... Then, my parents disappeared."

"Oh……"

Yang Liang nodded, which also showed that Ah-Dai's family lived near a large town.

Based on the useful information obtained above, Ah-Dai’s parents are still alive, there is a patch of green bamboo in front of his house, and a temple fair was held nearby.

Judging from the name Ke Shouming, even if the family is not from a scholarly family, at least it is from a well-educated family, and it is not a vulgar name like A Mao A Gou.

The next thing I have to do is to draw a circle with Huang County as the center and find out where temple fairs have been held recently. If I go there one by one, I will most likely find Ke Shouming's parents.

Yang Liang secretly admired himself, I was so smart.However, if you can't find Dumb's parents according to your own methods, you can only expand the search scope.

This would waste too much time.

"Are you full?" Yang Liang asked.

They wiped the sesame cake residue from their faces and nodded at the same time.

"Come on, we should go."

After carrying the two children into the car, Yang Liang raised his whip, and the donkey cart creaked onto the official road again.

Lu Yuanyuan poked her head out of the carport and looked curiously at the scenery along the way.

"Go in, is it too cold outside?" Yang Liang said.

"I'm not afraid."

Lu Yuanyuan simply squeezed out and sat with Yang Liang.

Yang Liang sighed helplessly. Lu Yuanyuan was eccentric, but in comparison, Dui was much more honest and easy to coax.

There are not many people in the wilderness in winter. In such weather that can freeze people to death, it is natural for everyone to stay at home without going out.

A figure appeared on the official road ahead. He was of medium build, carrying a bamboo basket with an oil-paper umbrella hanging on it.

"Sir, what is this for?" Lu Yuanyuan asked softly.

Yang Liang looked at it and guessed: "Probably a messenger."

"messenger?"

Yang Liang nodded. At this time, there were two types of couriers: official and private. The official courier was a postman who would stop every thirty miles to deliver news for the court.

Among the people, it is often the acquaintances who communicate with each other, and there are not many people who specialize in this field.

Yang Liang remembered that there was a big shot in this industry, and he said hello: "Brother, where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?"

The messenger raised his head, and Yang Liang saw that he was not very old, but his face was full of vicissitudes of life.

"Then thank you sir."

He did not refuse and had a few words with Yang Liang.

Yang Liang learned that his surname was also Yang, and his name was Yang Changlu. He was a messenger who specialized in delivering letters to people, and he often moved around.

After knowing that the other party was from the same family as himself, Yang Liangliang felt a little more enthusiastic.

Yang Changlu is in his thirties and has been working in this industry for more than ten years. He has walked through streets and alleys and climbed mountains and ridges, and is very familiar with the nearby environment.

Yang Liang asked him about some place names and knew that after leaving Huang County, there were three more counties.

If I wanted to find Ah-Dai's parents, I might have to travel to these three counties.

"Ahead is Aihu Ridge. Be careful when you get there. There is a group of strong men on the mountain who specialize in robbing merchants." Yang Changlu said: "I haven't had time to ask, what does this husband do?"

Yang Liang was silent for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth: "I came to Beijing to take the exam."

Yang Changlu looked at the two children in the car. They didn't look like book boys, and Yang Liang looked even less like a scholar now.

When they met by chance, he didn't ask any more questions. He just said: "That's okay. Bandits also abide by the rules. When they encounter the young master rushing to take the exam, or the messenger like me, they usually don't move."

"When is it not a normal situation?" Yang Liang asked.

Yang Changlu was silent for a while and said: "Except for ordinary situations, everything else is extraordinary."

When he spoke, he had already arrived at Aihu Ridge. Looking up, the mountain looked like a crouching tiger, overlooking the mountains and rivers.

Yang Changlu is used to walking, so he can be said to be well-informed.He urged Yang Liang to hurry up, so as not to end up in the forest after dark, which would lead to disaster.

It's a pity that the driver is not a horse, but a small donkey. Even if Yang Liang wants to go fast, he can't go fast.

The sun gradually set and night enveloped the wilderness. Yang Changlu was a little anxious, and Yang Liang did not dare to be careless. In the carriage, Lu Yuanyuan and Ah-Dai had already fallen asleep.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and the group of people escaped from Aihu Ridge.

After leaving the range of Aihu Ridge, Yang Changlu breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, we finally got out."

Yang Liang was also a little lucky and said: "Where should we go next?"

"This……"

Yang Changlu looked around. It was pitch black with no light.

"Are you lost?" Yang Liang said: "Aren't you a messenger? Don't you know me everywhere?"

"Uh... there are some things I don't recognize."

Seeing the disappointment in Yang Liang's eyes, Yang Changlu looked a little embarrassed and said, "Sir, don't be anxious. Let's stay in the wild for one night. I will be able to find the way at dawn tomorrow."

This is the only solution now.

Camping in the wild in winter is not an easy task. You have to protect yourself from the cold and the hungry wild beasts in the mountains.

Yang Liang lit a fire, arranged for Lu Yuanyuan and Ah-Dai to sleep in the carriage, and put a layer of quilt around them.

Yang Liang and Lu Yuanyuan warmed some wine by the fire, and they gathered together to chat.Yang Changlu traveled all over the country and gained a lot of knowledge, which helped Yang Liang gain a lot of knowledge.

"When we get out of here, I'll take you to a noodle shop. Their chili has a unique secret recipe. You must try it then..."

Yang Changlu was talking so eloquently that Yang Liang felt a little hungry. He suddenly stopped and whispered, "Listen, the birds have stopped chirping. Someone is coming?"

Yang Liang also pricked up his ears, and suddenly, he seemed to hear the sound of rapid footsteps approaching.

Before he could get close, a group of people rushed out of the darkness and surrounded the two of them.

The leader had a mustache and a mouth full of big yellow teeth when he smiled.

"This is Mr. Hu Ba's territory on the mountain. Who asked you to warm up here?"

Yang Liang and Yang Changlu's expressions changed. They didn't encounter bandits in Aihuling. They didn't expect that they would meet them here.

Yang Changlu had a smile on his face and said: "Uncle, I am delivering a message to someone. This young man is a student who has come to Beijing to take the exam. Please be generous and let us live."

"Messenger and messenger?"

Dahuang Ya looked at Yang Changlu and then at Yang Liang, the expression on his face changing.

"If it doesn't work, can you take the donkey cart away?" Yang Liang said.

Yang Liang spent more than ten taels of silver to buy this donkey cart. Although he was reluctant to part with it, in order to avoid trouble, it was considered a waste of money and disaster.

"Uncle, could you please help me?" Yang Changlu said with a sneer.

"Bah, it's your mother's convenience." Dahuang Ya cursed fiercely and said: "Who do you think I am? A robber. I'm here to protect the mountains and forests. Look at you, what if you just light fires and cause mountain fires? , do you still have a sense of public morality?”

He waved his hand: "Take it away."

Yang Liang was about to take action immediately, but in the dark night, he didn't know how many bows and arrows were aimed at him.

I am not that scared, but Yang Changlu and the two children may not be able to escape.

During the safety period, Yang Liang was not in a hurry to take action. He waited first to see if there was an opportunity to take action next.

Dahuang Ya ordered two strong men to come forward and tied Yang Liang and Yang Changlu's hands together.

Lu Yuanyuan and Ah-Dai did not escape either. They were tied together and thrown into the donkey cart.

With the sound of creaking, the bandits drove the donkey cart up the mountain. After walking for a while, a camp appeared in front of them.

Yang Liang and his party were imprisoned in a utility room, and the bandits left them and left.

Yang Changlu looked around and said: "In my opinion, this seems to be a copycat of Heifeng Village. I have heard that the head of Heifeng Village is a loyal and rule-abiding person. When I meet him, I will tell him, We'll be fine."

Yang Liang glanced at him with a helpless expression.

This messenger's knowledge of the world doesn't seem to be that reliable.

If the bandit could be relied upon, he would still be a bandit.

Even if he was trapped in the bandit base camp, Yang Liang didn't have much to worry about. He was worried about his two children.

Turning to look at Lu Yuanyuan: "Are you afraid?"

Lu Yuanyuan shook her head, opened her eyes wide and said, "It's really exciting."

Yes, she has seen scarier things than this, and even a few bandits can't scare her.

On the other hand, Dui's face turned pale with fright and his body was trembling.

The utility room was colder than expected, so Yang Liang covered him with his coat.

"Sir, I want a hug too."

Before Yang Liang could say anything, Lu Yuanyuan was already in Yang Liang's arms, with Ah-Dai on the left and right, nestled in Yang Liang's arms like two koalas.

Yang Liang sighed and found Yang Changlu looking at him intently: "What's wrong, do you want a hug too?"

Yang Changlu's face turned red and he waved his hands hurriedly: "I'll forget it."

After a moment of silence, he said: "Master Li, can you please do me a favor? I have something to ask of you?"
