These twenty carefree days passed in a flash.

On the day Song Beibei left, the sky was clear, the snow melted, and there was a young shoot of a weed breaking through the ground in front of Xiaohua's grave.

The three of them said goodbye to Xiaohua and set off, heading in the opposite direction of the capital.

After walking all day, the three of them finally saw the inhabited village, but it was already dark, and there was not a single house in the village with lights on.

Song Beibei spoke first: "It seems that this place has been emptied, and I don't know if there is any danger here for residents to move out......

This is ancient times, and there is no collective work outside the home, people here have a strong sense of homesickness, not a last resort, no one wants to leave their hometown. If so, it is also the young people who go out to find opportunities to earn a living, and the older people also stay by their parents' side.

Therefore, a village is generally empty, either because of a disaster or plague, or because there is some man-made danger.

Considering this, Song Beibei proposed: "Why don't we go further and go to the city?" ”

Shen Zhao naturally followed her: "Okay." ”

Yin Youtang frowned lightly, and said worriedly: "We didn't bring much silver with us when we came out this time, and we didn't have much left to eat, do we go to sleep on the street in the city?" It's better to find an empty house here and settle down first. ”

Shen Zhao and Song Beibei glanced at each other, both of them had the same idea, Yin Youtang was right, there was really no money and they couldn't continue.

Suddenly, Shen Zhao looked at a tree behind Song Beibei, which seemed to have a piece of paper pasted on it.

When he walked in, it was a notice posted by the government.

After reading the words on it, he smiled and said, "The money is coming." ”

Song Beibei and Yin Youtang also came over, and it was written that this village was often harassed by bandits, so the government offered a reward for arresting people, and a bandit would pay ten taels of silver, and after being caught, he would go to the Yamen of Chuncheng ten miles away to hand over people for money.

Shen Zhao said: "Let's change one hundred taels first." ”

"Catch ten?" Yin Youtang glanced at him. He didn't question Shen Zhao's ability, he believed that Shen Zhao would have absolutely no problem fighting ten by himself, but the question was...... "How can you be sure that ten people are drawn?" ”

Shen Zhao asked him rhetorically: "Do you think that one hundred taels is not enough to spend, and you hope that I will catch a few more?" ”

Yin Youtang shook his head: "If it's less than ten, it's okay, but if you make people anxious, and people bring out the entire cottage, it will be troublesome." ”

Song Beibei smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, the two of us are going to lure the thieves out, I am an unarmed little girl, plus you are a soft and weak little brother, within ten you can already afford us, and you will not mobilize the whole cottage to come out and arrest us." ”

Yin Youtang thought about it, but was still unconvinced: "Then how can you be sure that it is ten?" ”

Song Beibei explained: "I didn't say that I would catch ten in one day, but a few today, a few tomorrow, enough to make up one hundred taels, enough for us to hold on to the next city." ”

Shen Zhao also nodded with a smile, that's what he meant.

Yin Youtang suddenly became a little angry inexplicably...... From the time Shen Zhao said his idea to the present, there has been no communication between the two of them, and they can actually understand each other's meaning.

Didn't Song Beibei forget about Shen Zhao? Why is there such a tacit understanding with him?

It really makes my heart sour......

Song Beibei picked up a few stones from the ground, put them in a package, and let Yin Youtang carry them.

Then he grabbed Yin Youtang, who was still angry: "Let's go, Tangtang." From now on, you are my younger brother, and the two of us are rich brothers and sisters who are out looking for relatives, and this costume is to avoid people's eyes. ”

She has made up all her identities, so that the innocent and harmless sisters and brothers who are looking for relatives are the most likely to be remembered by thieves.

Yin Youtang and Song Beibei took the first step, and Shen Zhao followed in secret.

On the way, Song Beibei noticed that Yin Youtang had been quiet and didn't speak, so he asked in a low voice: "Tangtang, do you have any worries about this strategy?" ”

Yin Youtang shook his head: "No." ”

"Then why didn't you say a word?"

Yin Youtang was silent for a while, and then said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not delicate, and I'm not a little brother!" ”

Song Beibei burst out laughing, so angry about this little thing, isn't this a little brother?

She deliberately teased him: "You are the little brother." ”

Yin Youtang glanced at her, suddenly reached out and patted her head, and said seriously: "Now I am taller than you." ”

"That can't change the fact that you're a younger brother, isn't Gao a younger brother?"

Yin Youtang turned his head and snorted unconvinced.

Song Beibei tugged at his sleeve and comforted him with a smile: "What's wrong with my brother?" It's not a curse. Although you are young, you are sensible and powerful, you can do anything, I admire you. ”

Yin Youtang was satisfied, and the corners of his lips couldn't help showing an imperceptible smile.

She thinks that there is nothing wrong with her "brother".

Suddenly, his smile disappeared again, as he caught a glimpse of what appeared to be several people watching them.

Yin Youtang whispered to Song Beibei: "It seems to be here." ”

Song Beibei was stunned, and said loudly: "Brother, do you weigh these things on your back?" I'll carry it. ”

Yin Youtang covered the package on his body and said with a smile: "It's not heavy, how can anyone think that gold is heavy?" If you give me another 200 pounds, I can carry it! ”

Song Beibei covered his mouth, looked around, and sure enough, he saw someone following them not far away.

She didn't see it, and said nervously to Yin Youtang: "Brother, don't expose your wealth!" Don't tell us about carrying a few hundred taels of gold every day! The villain was robbed! ”

Yin Youtang took her hand away and said disapprerovingly: "There is not even a ghost here, where is the thief?" Sister, you're so nervous! ”

"Be nervous, this is all our net worth! We want to use this gold to hold on to Jiangnan! ”

The two of them said clearly, and the bandits who were staring at the two of them not far away finally couldn't hold it anymore and rushed out and said, "Robbery!" ”

Song Beibei immediately hid behind Yin Youtang and made a frightened look: "A good man spares his life!" ”

Yin Youtang felt Song Beibei's hand on her shoulder, she relied on his protection, at this moment, Yin Youtang really wanted to rush up and fight with the four bandits in front of her.

The bandit standing at the front looked like the leader, he looked at Song Beibei with a lewd smile on his face, and looked up and down at Song Beibei: "This little lady looks good, stay with Jinzi, this kid will be killed directly." ”

"Yes!" A few behind him answered, and immediately stepped forward with an axe to cut Yin Youtang.

The sister and brother still looked trembling, which made these bandits feel that today's money and women were just pies in the sky, and they were too easy to get their hands on.

Just when they thought they were about to succeed, suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the four robbers froze for a moment, and then fell to the ground with a brush, clutching their feet and screaming in pain.

The hamstrings of the right feet of these four people were all cut off with a sword qi.
