Just because Xiao Cai could see that Caixia's dissatisfaction was not directed at him, nor was it because of Zhuang Mingyue's illness.

No matter what the reason is, as long as it is not because of Zhuang Mingyue.

And if Caixia doesn't have the slightest intention of saying it, then the things he shouldn't ask about are just not the ones he shouldn't ask.

Xiao Cai, who knew this very well, immediately chose to remain silent and did not ask any more questions. just silently followed behind Caixia and walked in the direction where Zhuang Mingyue and Caiyun were.

In Caixia's efforts to investigate, the only remaining pot of decoction has been reheated at this moment.

Caiyun was carefully feeding Zhuang Mingyue who was in a coma, and drank it little by little.

And in this kung fu, the other side also went to find the wind map of the carriage, and the avenue of picking herbs, which was already the same, and it can be said that they came back at the same time.

After the group of six people reunited, several people did not stay any longer, but continued to travel directly to the northern city of the frontier with the remaining two carriages.

At least from the current situation, it seems that they are still too far away from the road now, so they definitely can't afford to delay a minute or a second more on the way.

Night.

The nights of winter are much faster and darker than the nights of other seasons.

Because of the night, it is not easy for them to risk the slippery road to continue traveling, not to mention that they can withstand the day and night rush, which does not mean that the horses are also acceptable.

The crowd found a small thatched hut abandoned by the mountain keepers in the vicinity and settled in.

Although it is very simple and has a layer of dust, it is what it should be, and it is still everything after all.

After everyone burned the kang couch in the house, they directly burned the pot, and let the herbs found by the Great Dao be selected by the wind map who knew more.

Only then did he put it in the jar and began to boil medicine for Zhuang Mingyue.

Although Fengtu knows a little bit of medical skills, his ambition is no longer this, so in addition to identifying herbs, all he understands is to be able to select the herbs that can treat typhoid fever, and he doesn't need to boil them in too heavy doses.

As the saying goes, dead horses are treated as live horse doctors. Although the wind map itself is not completely sure, in this case, there is really no other way.

"The amount of this potion is not too large, if the boss drinks it, but if there is some improvement, the dose will be enlarged a little bit."

Feng Tu carefully brought the decoction in his hand to Caixia and asked her to feed it to Zhuang Mingyue to drink.

Xu is because there is a warm red fire in the house, and after Caixia fed the medicine to Zhuang Mingyue, it was only more than half an hour, and her face really regained some ruddy color.

Caixia, who was quite pleased with this, was overjoyed, "Fengtu, your medical skills are really good!" The young lady drank the medicine, and it was only more than half an hour, and she really looked a lot ruddy! ”

Hearing Caixia's words, a group of several people surrounded one after another.

After everyone surrounded them, they blocked all the warm red firelight, casting patches of black shadows.

Zhuang Ming

The ruddy color on the surface of the moon is also natural, and it is no longer the same as what Caixia just saw.

"Like...... Didn't recover too much? ”

The people who were quite happy themselves couldn't help but be a little disappointed after seeing this scene.

On the contrary, Caiyun on the side did not show a look of ups and downs, but silently stretched out his hand and lightly rested on Zhuang Mingyue's pulse, "Miss's pulse is indeed beating more steadily, and her body is no longer so cold." ”

Hearing Caiyun's words, everyone's eyebrows that had just been lowered raised again.

"Then I'll go and mix the dosage again, and go back and boil a few more cans to bring the boss on the road." As if he had been encouraged, Fengtu immediately retreated from it and returned directly to the fire where the medicine was boiling, ready to give Zhuang Mingyue some more time to spare on the road again.

The five people who were happy didn't know it.

Just as they were preparing to leave the next day, not far from their small thatched hut, there was a group of mountain bandits who were returning from looting from the distant village, and were approaching the vicinity of the official road.

And this group of bandits is different from the various bandits they have encountered before.

This group of bandits, since they are in the frontier, is equivalent to licking blood at the tip of a knife all day long.

In addition, in the border where the emperor is far away, there will be large and small wars all day long, and their group of people will not be managed by the government.

Therefore, compared to the bandits in Tiansheng, who are still more or less taboo against the government, the ferocity of their group is far incomparable.

It can be said that this group of people, burning, killing, prostituting and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil, have a bad reputation in the local area.

As the group got closer, the night sky outside the thatched hut deepened.

The night wind whipped the woods outside, rustling the needles.

Xiao Cai, who has lived in the slums since childhood, is far more sensitive than the rest of them, both in terms of his eyes and hearing.

And considering that he was the youngest, everyone decided to let Xiao Cai be the first to keep vigil.

I don't know whether to say that it is Wan Xin in misfortune, or whether it has been said that it will be difficult to escape this catastrophe after all.

Xiao Cai, who was the first to notice the movement of this group of bandits, changed his expression and directly pushed the avenue on his side, "Brother Dao, there is movement outside, you go out with me to have a look." ”

There are still some sleepy-eyed avenues, knowing Xiao Cai's ears, and if it is an ordinary movement, he will definitely not wake him up to accompany him.

Immediately, it was a spirit, and he came to his senses directly, "Go!" ”

The two men then walked out of the house straight together.

Just as they had not walked a few steps out of the house, they saw a small but definitely not small light coming in their direction.

"Torch?!"

Through the sparkling light, Xiao Cai faintly discerned that it should be a group of torches.

And in the case of waiting for the night, it is possible to use so many people to come out, no matter how you guess, it is absolutely impossible to be very good.

Xiao Cai Dadao, whose face changed, did not hesitate, and rushed directly with a very tacit understanding

I went back to the thatched hut.

The group of people who were resting without making a big noise were all woken up.

"Wake up! Wake up! Those who come are not good, let's go! ”

Because all of them are martial arts practitioners, and even when they are resting in the past, especially when they are resting in this situation, it is impossible to really let themselves fall asleep completely.

So when the two of them reached out and pushed him, they quickly came to their senses.

"Someone's coming?!"

"It is estimated that at least thirty upwards, below fifty, it is better to avoid the limelight first." Xiao Cai rewrapped the luggage that had been packed up very quickly, and then carefully opened the door again and looked in the direction of the torch he had just seen.

If these dozens of people are really not good at stubble, then even according to their ability in the normal state in the past, it is a little difficult to deal with it. What's more, they are still in a state of exhaustion, which can be said to be in their state.

It is even more impossible, with the five of them, to deal with dozens of opponents, and still in this situation, they don't know what the strength of the opposite side is.

Because they didn't have many things, and the reason why Gen was always ready to leave, they didn't have to spend too much time, and a few people had already packed up all their things.

"The group is already near, and the carriage is ...... Let's put it here for now, don't alarm them. If they don't take the wagon away, they come back and get it. ”

Looking at the sparkling firelight that Xiao Cai just said, when it was already approaching, Caiyun directly and decisively chose to give up the carriage first, so as not to startle the snake with this movement, and instead accompany them in.

…………………………

"Second brother, do you smell this strange smell? Well...... Is it herbs? ”

The bandit who was talking about extremely rude words, suddenly the bearded man called the second brother, the little man next to him, frowned and spoke.

"Just you kid, the dog nose is the smartest, although this is an official way, but who in this Xinjiang can't think of coming here to cook medicine?" The second brother stretched out his heavy palm and slapped it directly on the back of the little man's head and laughed.

When he said this, dozens of other people next to him also burst into laughter.

"That's it, you kid is in the ...... on weekdays Alas, second brother, this really has the crying smell of herbs! ”

As soon as the man spoke again, the laughter fell a little, and then several men who also smelled it echoed.

At this point, the second brother believed, "It seems that someone has really come, and now I can still smell it, I'm afraid it's either still there, or it can't go far, go, take a look with Lao Tzu!" ”

With the second brother's order, dozens of people followed directly behind the little man with the tip of his nose and rushed towards the thatched house.

Xiao Cai didn't expect this group of people to find out about this fast, but not long after leaving the house, he was discovered, "Quick!" They're already chasing you! ”

And the little man with the tip of his nose, a pair of mouse eyes are even sharper, and they actually reveal a trace of green light in the gloom.

"Second brother! Someone! They're ready to run! ”

"Run?! Catch up with me! ”

After that, the group of bandits chased after them directly.
