Chapter 250

Luo Tiandu returned to the inn, Fang Shi was coaxing Luo Zijin to sleep, seeing her back, asked her: "How is it? Did you find someone?"

Luo Tiandu nodded and said, "I found it. That family is really honest and honest. His wife said that when we go to Yi County, the head of the family will follow us and lead us the way."

After hearing this, Fang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Finally, there is someone who can speak Mandarin, otherwise we won't be able to understand the language when we get there. What should we do?"

Luo Tian remembered Qin Shi's words, looked at Luo Zijin who was sleeping soundly on the bed, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Mother, why don't I go with Dad first, and you and eldest sister stay here. I'll go and see what's going on in Yi County first, and then I'll send someone over to pick you up."

Fang touched Luo Zijin's red face, and said, "Now that we're here, how can we stay? Besides, Master Wei also said that the reason why the two county magistrates were like that was not because of Is it because they are too greedy? They exploited the people in the county so much that they couldn’t survive. That’s why. Your father doesn’t talk about it, but he doesn’t have that kind of idea. Let’s walk straight and sit straight, what are we afraid of?! "

Luo Tiandu originally wanted to persuade him again, but later held back.

What Fang said is right, they are already in Ba Xun, so there is no reason to stay here.

Luo Baisu came back very late. When he came back, he smelled of alcohol and was very excited. It was obvious that his return to the government office went smoothly.

"Who did you meet today, so happy?" Fang called the shop waiter to bring in hot water and wait for Luo Bai to wash.

Luo Baisu was very interested, and when he heard Fang's question, he said happily, "Do you still remember Mr. Tang?"

"Why don't you remember, thanks to his help, our family is here today." Fang Shi also figured it out when she said this, and said pleasantly, "You mean Mr. Tang is also in Ba Xun now?"

Luo Baisu nodded: "Exactly."

After Tang Tong was acquitted and released that day, he still retained his official status, but his father and brother committed a crime. Sentenced, demoted one level.

Luo Baisu drank a lot of wine at a social meeting today, and he was a little dizzy. After washing his face, he became a little more sober, and told Fang: "In the past two days, you should count and count the money at hand. The ones you need to use and the ones you need to prepare are here. It's all ready here, and you can't buy it in Yi County if you get it in the province."

The couple discussed for a while again, apart from other things, it is better to prepare more emergency pills and the like, so as to save them there, if anyone in the family has a headache, they can't find a doctor for a while.Furthermore, Luo Baisu was in the Baxun government office today, and when the governor learned that he was going to Yi County to take up his post, he also told him to prepare more rice and grain. These things are rare there, and if there is, they are also coarse grains, so they can’t be bought. of.

Fang agreed one by one.

The next day, the Tang family indeed sent Tang Han to pick up Luo Baisu and his party.

Luo Baisu led the whole family to visit Lord Tang's family again.

After returning, Fang took Luo Tiandu to buy a lot of things, bought several bags of rice noodles, and went to the pharmacy to find the old shopkeeper to boil a lot of pills, put them in porcelain bottles, and put them in boxes inside.Fang spent a whole day shopping, bought a lot of food and clothing, and bought a lot of various seeds.She is the most frugal, and she took it to heart when Luo Baisu said that life in Yi County was difficult.She had been to the Jinyong County Yamen before, and felt that the inner house was quite spacious, and thought that all the Yamens in the world were similar, so she thought about buying more seeds and going back to reclaim the unused land, plant some vegetables, and so on. There is no need to pay for it anymore, it's just that people work harder. She was originally a farmer, so the most precious thing is that effort.

After all the bags were packed, Cheng Sheng settled in the barracks properly, and asked for leave to escort Luo Baisu to Yi County. Before leaving, Lord Tang also sent a few servants to follow him, so he didn't feel at ease. Luo Baisu's safety along the way.

Originally, Luo Tian wanted to ask Mr. Xu's son to lead the way to Yi County, but he didn't know how the Xu family discussed it later. In the end, Mr. Xu followed.

At that time, the staff was ready and the wheels were rolling, and the group set off for Yi County again.

Although the road from Duochuan to Baxun is not easy, it is still an official road. After leaving Baxun and going to Yi County in the south, the official road is deserted. Weeds grow on both sides of the road. , so that the bones of the people are about to fall apart.It was the New Year's Eve at that time, and Ba Xun was the most cloudy and rainy season, and the local climate was already very humid, so the journey along the way was really miserable.

At this time, Luo Tiandu was extremely fortunate that he had the foresight to invite Mr. Xu as a guide, otherwise the surrounding area would be stretched for hundreds of miles and there would be a stretch of wild mountains without any signposts, let alone people, if he accidentally lost his way , Three years or two years may not be able to come out.

On this day, the weather finally cleared up, and the Luo family set off early. After driving for half a day, they found a shelter from the wind to rest, and people came down to relax.

Cheng Sheng skillfully lit a fire, set up a pot and boiled water.

Fang took dry food, shared a portion with each of them, and ate some with hot water.

Luo Tiandu took a bite of sesame seed cakes, his mouth was dry and astringent, a bit bitter.Those who are away from home don't care much, besides, in the wilderness, there are no people living a hundred miles away, it is difficult to eat hot soup, so you can only make do with it.The others also looked tasteless. Only Mr. Xu, with a bowl of hot water, ate with relish, eating two pancakes in one go before resting.

Luo Tian was afraid that he might not be full, so he took another one, handed it to him, and said, "Third Master, there are more, you are full."

Third Master Xu wiped his mouth, shook his head, saw that Luo Tiandu's leftover half was on the plate, and asked her: "Little lady, don't you want to eat this one?"

Luo Tian shook his head: "I'm full."

Xu Sanye then said: "Give me the leftover half of the sheet, my lady, it should be enough after eating the half sheet."

Luo Tian knew that he was thrifty, so he didn't think he was abrupt, so he handed over the leftover half of the sheet, and Mr. Xu ate it in two strokes, hiccupped, and said: "Crossing this mountain, another fifty miles , and we’re here. There are many wild beasts in the mountains in the wilderness, if you don’t mind working hard, you can catch them today, and you should arrive tomorrow at the latest.”

Now Mr. Xu already knew that Luo Tiandu and his party were not businessmen at all, but new grandpas. They didn't come to Yi County to sweep graves, but to take office.He was very thoughtful, but during this journey, he saw the actions of the Luo family and his family, and felt that the Luo family had no pretensions of being an official, and they were very kind. It adds a lot of goodwill to the Luo family.However, seeing the wild mountain in front of him, Mr. Xu felt more worried.

I hope that in the last two days, I can reach Yi County safely, and there will be no accidents.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, with an expression of "finally it's coming".

After resting for a while, the mule cart set off again.

The more you go to Yi County, the more difficult the road is. In some places, the road collapsed, and people had to get down and lead their mules to walk around slowly.

At one point, the mule, which was running well, suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. The mule cart lost its balance, tilted, and turned over.

Luo Tiandu was originally sitting on the outermost one, but was the first to fall out.She was agile, and when she fell, she was not injured, and Fang Shi and Luo Ming also fell out right behind her.She could dodge at that time, but Fang still held Luo Zijin in her arms. If she avoided it, Fang would fall to the ground. She was worried that Fang and Luo Zijin would be injured, so she forced herself to do it once. meat pads.

"Ouch!" Luo Tian couldn't help but feel that his viscera, which had been dislocated in the first place, seemed to be smashed out, and couldn't help but yelled out.

This meat pad is really not a human being!

Not to mention, the two mule carts behind them were frightened and out of control, and they stepped on them as soon as they saw it. Cheng Sheng on the cart was agile and responsive, and he was a step late. He managed to avoid Fang's and Luo Tiandu, but Luo Mingdu who was closer to the middle of the road was scraped by the carriage and then fell out.

"Eldest sister..." Luo Tiandu yelled, reaching out to pull Luo Mingdu, but he didn't.

She was frightened half to death, the hillside was not too steep, but it was very high, Luo Ming fell down like this, it was terrible.At this moment, a figure flashed above his head, Cheng Sheng had already jumped down, hugged Luo Mingdu, and the two of them rolled downhill.

"Miss..."

"Ah Sheng..."

At this moment, five or six big men suddenly jumped out from the woods on both sides and surrounded them.The group of people were dressed in rags, but they all held weapons in their hands, staring at Luo Tiandu and the others with red eyes.The man in the head had an unshaven beard covering almost two-thirds of his face. He was very tall and had messy hair on his head, as if he hadn't washed it for many years.

The man jumped into the middle of the road, babbled and glared at them viciously.

Luo Tian's heart skipped a beat, even if she couldn't understand what the big man said, she knew something was wrong, of course she wouldn't be so stupid as to think that these people were refugees, they were obviously robbed.

It turns out that Yi County is not peaceful. It's not that people listen to the alarming words, but it's true!In broad daylight, he dared to jump out and rob.

Although Mr. Xu was stunned, he still did his job dutifully and said, "They said that they only need food and nothing else."

Luo Zijin had slept soundly in Fang's arms, but now she was startled awake, crying loudly.Fang was anxious and regretful, regretting not listening to Luo Tiandu, staying in Ba Xun, and met a bandit, if the other party only robbed some money, that's all, if they wanted to kill him, then it would be over.

Luo Baisu is the head of the family and the head of the county. This is considered to be something like this happening in his jurisdiction. Whether it is the head of the Luo family or the magistrate of Yi County, he can't back down at this time and stand up immediately.
