"We definitely won't listen. If we keep going, the group of people will continue to shoot arrows at our boat. Speaking of which, I really want to thank the escorts in the escort agency. They are indeed a traveling escort team. After the second corpse

When they floated over, they placed planks in the cabin to block arrows,"

"They asked us to hide in the cabin of the boat. They stayed outside to fight with the river bandits who were approaching our boat. It was already dark and there was a lot of fighting outside."

"That gang of Jiang gangsters has a lot of people. Our bodyguard almost has to fight three or four by himself. It's very difficult."

"We old men can't hide in the cabin anymore, so I discussed with Baozhu Yuzhu and left a few people who can't swim in the cabin, and the others all came out to fight!" Chang Gen said.

Baozhu responded: "Yes, I still remember what Uncle Changgen told me that night. It's a knife for us to stretch our heads, and it's a knife for us to shrink our heads. Let's fight!"

Chang Gen nodded, and the two recalled the scene of that night. Their veins bulged, their eyes widened, and they clenched their fists.

As others listened, they felt as if they were actually there.

Sun and Guihua were already huddled together, trembling with fear.

Even Yang Ruoqing broke into a cold sweat and looked at Chang Gen without blinking.

Chang Gen said: "Those Jiang bandits are really ruthless. As expected, they make a living by killing people and robbing money every day. They really kill without blinking an eye. We hired eight bodyguards, and two were killed on the spot, and three others were killed."

He was seriously injured."

"There are three left, so that's..."

"As for us people, although we have learned some tactics, it is not enough in front of those river bandits. There is a huge difference in numbers. We mainly fight on the boat. The boat is rocking.

It's so shaking that I can't even stand steady..."

"Several of our brothers were injured, otherwise we wouldn't have stayed in Xiushui Town for so long just to let them recover from their injuries," Chang Geng said.

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing stood up excitedly.

"Why didn't you write to me? As the boss, I didn't even know that one of my men was injured!" she said.

This made her conscience uneasy. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to explain it to the family members of the team members.

Although, even though when the transportation team was recruiting people, it was clearly written in black and white that if they had to travel all over the country, they might be killed or injured due to unsuitable climate or other unpredictable reasons, so all the team members who joined the transportation team signed a life-or-death certificate.

But after the signing, if there were casualties, she still had to bear the blame. Even if the family members of the deceased did not dare to come to her, her conscience would be uneasy!

"Who in our transport team is injured? How is the injury? Tell me quickly!" Yang Ruoqing said again.

Baozhu said: "Qing'er, please be anxious. Five or six people suffered some injuries. Fortunately, they were all superficial injuries. They were almost healed when we were in Xiushui Town."

"On the other hand, a few of the bodyguards died..."

Regarding this, Yang Ruoqing was speechless and could only mourn for three minutes of silence in her heart for the dead bodyguards.

They act as escorts by tying their heads to their belts, and those who are unlucky will die early.

What's more, she paid a lot of money to hire them as bodyguards. This trip of goods was basically a loss but not a profit. As for the death affairs of the sacrificed bodyguards and the pension arrangements for their families, the bodyguard bureau had its own arrangements.

"What happened next? How did you escape?" Zuo Junmo's low voice came from behind.

Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses and quickly looked at Baozhu.

When asked about this, Baozhu and Changgen's eyes lit up.

"This is really a coincidence. It's because our lives should not be cut off, or there is someone noble to help us." Baozhu said.

"Just when our group was about to be wiped out, another wave of arrows came from the shore, and then we saw the previous wave of bandits shooting in front of us one after another like firewood targets.

Fall down."

"In the chaos, I heard He Laoliu seem to be scolding, saying something like, 'You stupid little beast, sneak attack on me!' Then He Laoliu fled in a hurry with his few remaining people."

"The group of people on the shore apparently divided into two groups and chased them, and a few people jumped onto the boat. We were frightened again because this group of people were dressed like bandits."

"Fortunately, not only did they not kill us, nor did they charge us any money, but they also let us pass. Even until we passed, I still felt like I was dreaming. I couldn't believe it!" Baozhu said excitedly.

Chang Gen said: "One of the middle-aged men and I, who looked a little less like a bandit than a scholar, knelt down and kowtowed to thank me. The man smiled at me and said, if you want to thank them, just thank them 'Xiaoyao Village Master',

Otherwise, the people, horses, women and goods in our two beds today will all be eaten by He Laoliu."

"I asked him where the 'Master of Xiaoyao Village' was? I want to kowtow to the Master of Xiaoyao Village for saving more than 20 of our lives."

"The scholar-looking man pointed to a high mountain across the river and said that is Xiaoyao Village. If you have the ability, you can climb to the highest mountain. The owner of Xiaoyao Village lives there. After that,

Got off the boat and left."

After hearing all this, the hall became quiet, and no one spoke for a long time.

After a while, Yang Ruoqing was the first to break the silence.

"No wonder I came back more than half a month later than usual on my trip to Xiushui Town. It turns out that I encountered such a dangerous thing and I kept it in the dark. Why didn't you send me a letter to tell me the situation?

What?" Yang Ruoqing asked Chang Gen and Baozhu for the second time.

Yang Huazhong and the others also nodded quickly, "Qing'er is right. If anything happens in the future, you must send a letter to your family to tell them. After such a long delay, everyone is making wild guesses. Your relatives are also making wild guesses every day.

When you come here to ask, we don’t know anything about it, but now that we know it, we are also scared for a while!”

Hearing Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhong's questions, Chang Gen was stunned for a moment, "No, I remembered. After that incident happened, we passed the Baidi Valley and turned the corner, and Xiao Yu immediately wrote to you, Qing'er,

I personally stood on the bow of the boat and released the homing pigeon!"

This time, Yang Ruoqing was even more surprised, "What? Xiaoyu wrote me a letter?"

"Yes, I'm talking about this specifically," Chang Gen said, also very surprised, "What? You didn't receive it?"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "I didn't receive it at all. I received a letter from Brother Baozhu after you left, when you were stranded in Jiujiang County. After that, I didn't receive any more letters."

Changgen slapped his head, "Oh no, that letter was probably lost halfway. No wonder Xiaoyu is still wondering why you didn't reply to her after so long after arriving in Xiushui Town!"

"Well, I have another letter here, also written by Xiaoyu to Qing'er."

Chang Gen took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing received it in her hand. She expected that the letter was probably about her and Ning Su's affairs. She was not in a hurry to read it now. Instead, she put the letter in her arms and waited until Chang Gen and the others left before reading it.
