Chapter 267 The County Magistrate's Daughter



Everyone is already familiar with camping in the wild, and everyone has a clear division of labor. No one needs to be told anything, and everyone is busy.

Su Baozhu followed the children in the team to collect firewood in the woods, while the adults were busy settling the horses and sorting out food and accommodation issues.

Su Yin was responsible for cooking, and Su's mother was responsible for feeding the horses.

The further north you go, the more you feel that this place is much better than the southwest, and seems more stable.

For dinner today they had a simple meal of rice with a wild vegetable and the dried meat they had made earlier.

After dinner, everyone rested.

Today it is Su Yin's turn to keep watch with her uncle Yang Dashan, Li Rui and Xu Niangzi.

The four of them divided the work, Su Yin and Xu Niangzi in the first half of the night, and Yang Dashan and Li Rui in the second half.

The four of them sat around the fire, chatting about random things.

Yang Dahong inexplicably thought of her brother-in-law, "Alas, I wonder how your father and your brother are doing?"

No one except those staying at Zixiao Inn knew about Su Xiaozhong's affairs.

Su Yin had told the other two families about this matter and asked them not to tell anyone about it for the time being to avoid unnecessary trouble, so no one knew about Su Xiaozhong.

"My father is a lucky man, I think everything will be fine."

If I told them that her father had become the second manager of Baishan Hall, they would definitely be shocked and say it was impossible.

"I haven't met anyone from Dongtu County along the way, and I don't know what the situation is like over there." Li Rui sighed.

"The journey from Dongtu to the north is long. We are taking a horse carriage, so we should be faster than others. It is normal that we didn't meet him. Maybe we will meet him after we settle down in Shangjing City." Su Yin's words were naturally comforting.

Those who have received the news long ago may be able to avoid the attack of the mob, but those who have not received the news may be in great danger.

Madam Xu said, "We are all alive and well, thanks to Yinyin."

Every time she calmed down, she felt extremely fortunate that she had followed Su Yin's family.

If I continue to follow the villagers, I'm afraid life will not be so easy.

"I wonder how the other people in the village are doing?" Madam Xu couldn't help but ask.

Su Yin knew about what happened in Xinghua Village, but couldn't tell anyone.

She sighed in her heart.

"The village chief is very powerful, so I think he will be fine." Yang Dashan was very confident in the people of Xinghua Village. "However, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to see them again in the future."

After all, one is going south and the other is going north.

If you are not a traveling businessman, I'm afraid you rarely go out.

When they thought of each other's villages, they couldn't help but sigh.

The only thing Su Yin was worried about was the two brothers Su Xinyang and Su Xinguang.

Even though these two char siu are annoying and have been brainwashed beyond recognition, they are still his own brothers after all. He naturally doesn't want anything to happen to them and wants them to live in peace.

Since their father is not with them, the two little ones will definitely be tortured by the entire Su family.

But no matter how worried I am, there is nothing I can do.

It is so difficult to find them in such a vast sea of ​​people.

We are willing but unable to look for them now. We can only wait until we arrive in the capital and settle down, and then we can ask places like the escort agency for information about them.

"Uncle, Li Rui, you two go to sleep for a while. We'll watch you now."

They were very confident in Su Yin, so they just asked Xu Niangzi to follow her. In addition, it would be much easier to keep watch in the first half of the night than in the second half.

"Okay, then let's take a nap first. Call us if there is anything." Yang Dashan said.

"Um."

The two of them leaned against a tree to rest, while Su Yin and Xu Niangzi continued to keep watch.

Every once in a while, the two of them would walk around the camp holding torches.

At midnight, Madam Xu couldn't help yawning, and her eyelids began to twitch.

"Sister Xu, just take a nap for a while. I'll just watch."

Madam Xu waved her hand and said, "No, we have to keep watch. How can we be lazy and let you watch alone?"

As she spoke, she yawned again.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound not far away.

Su Yin and Xu Niangzi immediately became alert, and Xu Niangzi subconsciously clenched the wooden stick in her hand.

Su Yin gave her a look, and Madam Xu understood. She walked quietly towards Yang Dashan and Li Rui, preparing to wake them up.

Su Yin walked towards the place where the sound came from, holding a dagger in her hand and staring at the bushes.

She seized the opportunity and threw the dagger in her hand towards somewhere.

"Ah!" A woman's soft cry came from the bushes.

Su Yin was stunned. Although she was a little surprised, she still did not let her guard down.

When the other party came out from the bushes, a long knife was placed in front of him.

The woman looked at the sharp long knife and shivered with fear. She raised her head and a pair of big wet eyes looked at her in horror.

When his eyes realized that the person opposite him was a woman, the fear in his eyes faded a little.

The woman's voice was soft and tender, "Sister, help me."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other person started shouting for help.

This is something Su Yin can’t do.

At this moment, blood was flowing down her arm. She bit her lower lip lightly and looked at her with a longing face.

Li Rui, Yang Dashan and Xu Niangzi followed and surrounded the woman.

They looked at the woman in front of them in surprise. It was very strange that a strange woman suddenly appeared in the middle of the night.

The four did not let down their guard just because the other party was a weak woman.

The woman felt their vigilance and tears welled up in her eyes for no apparent reason.

"Who are you?"

"What are you trying to do by sneaking over to our place?" Yang Dashan asked harshly and bluntly.

The woman sobbed twice, covering her painful arm. "I am the daughter of the county magistrate of Linyuan County. When I was out for fun, I met a group of villains. They killed my followers and kidnapped me. They wanted to sell me to a brothel, and I managed to escape. I beg all the kind people to help me."

Madam Xu asked, "How can we believe that what you said is true?"

The woman immediately took out a jade pendant from her bosom and said, "This is a jade pendant from my family, with my name engraved on it."

Li Rui took the jade pendant from her hand, looked it over from left to right, and then handed it to Su Yin.

Su Yin stroked it and observed it carefully.

This jade pendant has a delicate texture, is transparent and moist, and is made of top-quality jade and is very valuable.

There is a plum blossom carved on the front of the jade pendant, and the word "Lan" is carved on the back.

"My name is Xu Lanzhi." The woman covered her injured arm and said while enduring the pain.

"Why should we save you?" Su Yin suddenly asked.

Even if what she said was true, so what.

After hearing Su Yin's words, Xu Lanzhi widened her eyes in disbelief.
