Chapter 743 White Fox [1 more]
The carriage was bumpy, and it was fortunate that Fang Xiaoyu protected the carriage and reduced the vibration of the carriage. Otherwise, after a hundred miles of journey, Mrs. Fang would probably not be able to hold on to the place before she could reach the place.?
Gradually, the road became rugged and a undulating mountain range appeared in front of him. Fang Xiaoyu knew that the mountain ahead would be Lianyun Mountain, which would last for more than a hundred miles. As long as you cross this mountain, you could reach the territory where the cousin of Mrs. Fang's cousin was buried.
Crossing Lianyun Mountain is the boundary of Lianyun County. Fortunately, although the mountains block the road, there are mountain paths opened by ancestors in the mountains that can be passed through, so there is no need to detour.
If not, it would probably take hundreds of miles to take just a detour.
However, further ahead is a mountain road worth dozens of miles. It can be said that most sections of the road are rugged mountain roads, which are very difficult to pass. In addition, the road is located between the mountains and fields, which is the easiest to breed people. If you are not careful, you may encounter bandits who block the road.
Especially although the world is not in chaos at the moment, it has already shown the atmosphere of a chaotic world, and there are also several bandits entrenched among the mountains and forests.
After several incidents of robbery and even murder, although the local government sent people to destroy it, it is said that the bandits have rekindled recently.
Just before the road to the mountain is a small town. Most people who want to cross the dozens of miles of Lianyun Mountain will temporarily settle in this town, and then everyone gathers together to form a large convoy and then move onto the mountain.
In this era, those who can walk outside are often wealthy families. Most of these people will bring servants when they go out. In this way, they gather dozens or hundreds of strong servants. Even if they encounter bandits or the like, they will have the ability to protect themselves.
Fang Xiaoyu didn't care about this. Others still had to worry about the bandits, but did he need to worry? If there were really bandits, I don't know who was unlucky at that time.
A sound of horse hooves sounded, and Fang Xiaoyu saw a team of more than a dozen strong knights protecting several noble men into the mountains. Seeing that his posture was about to go into the mountains to hunt.
As long as you don’t go deep into the mountains and be surrounded by a large number of bandits, the strength of this team can come out safely.
"drive!"
Fang Xiaoyu shouted, and the carriage immediately galloped and entered the mountains.
Many people who were watching and hoping to form a large group of people saw Fang Xiaoyu driving the carriage into the mountain alone and showing sarcasm and disdain.
"This little husband is really brave enough. He is not afraid of going into the mountains alone and meeting thieves."
"I'm really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. I think this young husband must have no experience in walking, and he might lose his life."
There are not only bandits in this mountain, but also beasts in the mountain. Even if you enter the mountain alone, you will not encounter bandits. If you encounter beasts, it will be extremely dangerous.
Fang Xiaoyu had already entered the mountains and had no idea that his actions were completely a way out in those people's eyes. However, even if he knew, Fang Xiaoyu would not take it seriously.
Although the mountain roads are rugged and flat, the carriage has to be slowed down.
The sound of birds singing can be vaguely heard between the mountains and forests, and the carriages slowly moved forward on the tree-lined mountain road.
At this moment, Mrs. Fang in the carriage looked out through the window. With such a natural landscape, Mrs. Fang, who had never left the door without leaving the door, had never seen her several times in her life. Now she was fascinated by her sight.
The actions of Mrs. Fang naturally could not be deceived by Fang Xiaoyu. When she saw Mrs. Fang Xiaoyu enjoying the scenery in the mountains, she slowed down.
Anyway, it's just a dozen miles of mountain roads. Even if it slows down, it's enough to walk out of the forest before dark. Since Mrs. Fang wants to enjoy the scenery in the mountains, Fang Xiaoyu naturally won't disappoint Mrs. Fang.
The carriage slowed down, and Mrs. Fang was so obsessed with her eyes that she didn't notice it. I have to say that the scenery in the mountains was quite good. Although Fang Xiaoyu didn't think anything, for Mrs. Fang, whose activity range was limited to Jiuhua City, it was definitely a different world.
After about an hour, I walked about ten miles of mountain road, neither fast nor slow.
Suddenly, a shout came from the front. Fang Xiaoyu looked at the sound and saw that a group of more than a dozen people were raising a bonfire there not far away, in a place with a wide view, as if they were barbecuing prey.
Fang Xiaoyu just took a look and found that the dozen people were the team that had entered the mountains one step earlier.
Just looking at the other party's formation, it should be that some rich children enter the mountains to hunt and play.
Since he was not a bandit or something, Fang Xiaoyu didn't take it seriously.
Mrs. Fang also noticed these people, but just took a look and then focused on the surrounding scenery.
Fang Xiaoyu drove the carriage slowly and naturally attracted the attention of the dozen people. These people should be powerful children, and even if they entered the mountains to hunt, they would have a sense of safety. Just look at the place they chose, you can know that even if they encounter bandits and have a broad vision, they can react as soon as possible.
A guard whispered to one of the young men in a gorgeous costume: "Young master, it's a carriage, there's no danger."
Mr. Zhen nodded slightly and said, "I didn't expect that someone would dare to walk this mountain road alone. Are you not afraid of encountering any danger?"
While he was talking, a guard walked over with a white fox in his hand and said, "Young Master, the white fox I just killed him and made a shawl for you."
It was a white fox covered in pure white without any impurities. An arrow pierced one of its legs and was being held in the hand by the guard.
A pair of big eyes were watery, as if they were begging.
Mr. Zhen took a look and waved his hand and said, "No, this white fox's fur is pretty good. Slaughter it!"
Hearing this, a trace of cruelty flashed across the face of the guard, and he glanced at the white fox in his hand and said, "Little thing, it is your blessing to be able to turn into my young master's shawl."
At this moment, Fang Xiaoyu drove by the side. Inadvertently, Mrs. Fang saw the white fox in the hand guard's hand.
The white fox squeaked in his mouth, obviously because he realized that he was going to be slaughtered and struggled violently.
"stop."
Mrs. Fang suddenly shouted, and Fang Xiaoyu quickly stopped the car, reached out and jumped out of the car, walked to the carriage and said to Mrs. Fang: "Mom..."
Mrs. Fang's eyes remained the white fox and said, "Cheng'er, take the silver and go and help Wei's mother buy the white fox."
Fang Xiaoyu knew that this was the kind-hearted work of Mrs. Fang, so she nodded slightly and said, "You'll go now."
Mrs. Fang's shout naturally alarmed Mrs. Zhen and her group. When everyone saw Mrs. Fang's kind-hearted look, although she felt a little unhappy, she would not be angry with an old man.
At this time, seeing Fang Xiao's jade artifact coming over Yuxuan, Mr. Zhen and his sons looked at each other and all came to greet him.
Fang Xiaoyu bowed slightly and said, "Fang Cheng and Fang Xiaoyu have met several brothers."
Fang Xiaoyu presented himself as a scholar, and Mr. Zhen and others were obviously scholars, so they naturally would not lose etiquette in front of Fang Xiaoyu.
After celebrating each other, Fang Xiaoyu said to Mr. Zhen, who was obviously the core of the group, "Can this young master do a good job? My mother in the family does a good job every day, but she doesn't think that the white fox is killed. It's better to sell it to Mr. Fang at a price to fulfill his kindness..."
Mr. Zhen and others looked at each other and heard Mr. Zhen say, "Forget it, since Brother Fang said that, if we kill this little thing again, it would seem that we were too murderous. If we don't have any money, we will give it to Brother Fang."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I'm thankful for this. If you have time to go to Jiuhua City in the future, Fang Cheng will definitely sweep the bed to greet him."
However, Fang Xiaoyu still stuffed a few scattered silver into the hand guard holding the white fox. After Mr. Zhen nodded, the guard handed the white fox to Fang Xiaoyu.
If we really talk about value, the shawl made after the white fox slaughter is definitely worth more than the scattered silver.
Thanking Mr. Zhen and others again, Fang Xiaoyu sent the white fox into the carriage and handed it over to Mrs. Fang and her maid Haitang for treatment.
When Fang Xiaoyu was about to rush to travel, the Master Zhen said, "Brother Fang, meeting is fate. It is already noon at this time. Why not stay and use food before rushing on the road?"
Fang Xiaoyu pondered for a while but did not refuse. He respected me one foot, and I respected others one foot. Mr. Zhen agreed to hand over the white fox to him without hesitation. Fang Xiaoyu was a kind-hearted person. His strength could indeed crush these people, but if Mr. Zhen and others did not agree, even he would not be rude and forcefully robbed him.
After all, the white fox is a prey that others call. If you want to deal with it, you will be willing to give you face, and it is natural not to give it to you. If you really want Fang Xiaoyu to rob it, it really goes against Fang Xiaoyu's way of dealing with people.
After asking Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Fang was obviously reasonable and agreed to stay and use lunch before rushing.
Mrs. Fang and Haitang were in the carriage. After all, as female relatives, they were not good at showing up.
After Fang Xiaoyu brought the barbecue that Mr. Zhen gave them to them into the carriage, she sat opposite Mr. Zhen and others.
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu's actions, Mr. Zhen praised Fang Xiaoyu quite well. Fang Xiaoyu served Mrs. Fang was naturally regarded as a pure filial person. In this world, filial piety and righteousness are the most important. People with affection and righteousness will be looked up at no matter when they are at any time.
He raised his glass to drink, and Mr. Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Fang is really skilled and brave. He actually drove on this mountain road alone. His courage is really admirable."
