Chapter 455: Dart Team

After tidying up, the group of people went on the road again. After passing Yong'an, the group of people could not take the waterway. The best route, if you want to save time, the best way is to walk through Sunset Mountain in the west.

There is a line of sky in Sunset Mountain, which can only accommodate one car and horse to pass through, but the distance will save hundreds of miles. In this way, at least three or four days of travel will be saved.

"Sunset Mountain, sounds familiar."

In his own carriage, following Mother Zhao's carriage, Xiao Lingchuan got into the carriage and made hot tea for his wife. Seeing that Li Haitang was puzzled, he took out a piece of sheepskin blueprint from his pocket, and pointed to the circle. .

"No wonder."

Li Haitang sipped the barley tea given by the barbecue stall owner, her brows were furrowed, she remembered.

Returning from Licheng, a group of people detoured far away, without taking the waterway, they detoured the Sunset Mountain. At that time, Zhang Ruyi casually mentioned that Sunset Mountain and Sunset West Mountain had a bad meaning.

There is a group of bandits living on the mountain, who make a living by looting houses. The government has sent troops to encircle and suppress them many times. However, the terrain is dangerous. Like the Northwest Heifeng Village, there is a natural barrier, and the government has nothing to do.

Now that there is a war in the north, the world is in chaos, and bandits are even more rampant. If they want to walk through Sunset Mountain, they will have to take some risks.

Xiao Lingchuan was in a hurry and had already determined a route for himself, and his route included Sunset Mountain.

If Madam Zhao and his party were willing to take a detour, he would consider temporarily entrusting his wife to Wu Fu and Madam Yu to take care of them. He would go ahead and do something in Jingcheng ahead.

He was waiting for Li Haitang in Jingcheng. After meeting up, he could still walk for two days. He happened to reach a fork in the road, one east and one west, in two directions.

"Let's stop for a while, the old slave goes to the bodyguard bureau and finds a team of bodyguards to **** him."

Zhao Mama calculated that no matter how powerful the bandit is, how can there be a bodyguard? Those people traveled north and south, protected the goods, and came back with all their heads, so there is naturally a way.

She was in a hurry to return to Beijing, three or four days, but it was not a short time. For her, the most lacking thing was time.

Thinking of this, she felt angry in her heart. She went to Lijia Village to find someone, but Li Haitang pretended to think about it, but in the end she came back with them!

The mud legs of the peasant family have the opportunity to go to Beijing to climb, and it would be no wonder if they missed it!

Mother Zhao asked, Li Haitang married a savage, how did the savage coax her into living? It's just playing a sparrow, a small skill, just to bluff someone who has never seen the world, who can live a life and eat sparrows every day, it really comes from a farmer's family, petty.

In the Ruan family, there are many secrets that cannot be mentioned, including the elopement of the daughter of the Ruan family back then, but everyone in the family who knew the inside story was almost dead, and she was reused after a big reshuffle.

After working in the back house for more than ten years, he finally became the steward of the inner courtyard.

How did the talented daughter of the Ruan family come to the Northland? And that savage, who actually had a token to leave the city in his hand, didn't seem so simple.

Zhao Momo almost forgot about this, patted her head, and decided to wink, although the hope was very small, but in case the other party was someone she couldn't afford to offend, she would have to walk around.

Forget it, as long as everyone is safe and sound, if you send people to the Ruan Mansion in Kyoto, this trip will not be in vain.

"Miss, this sunset mountain is a bit dangerous."

Zhao Nanny struggled for a while, then changed her attitude, and put on a posture of discussing with Li Haitang.

"Since you have already made a decision, if I say to take a detour, you will not agree, why bother to discuss with me after the decision is made?"

Li Haitang would rather go far away than go to Sunset Mountain, the main reason is that she is pregnant and cautious about everything.

But after learning about the arrangement of the savage husband, she decided to walk through Sunset Mountain, but she had to explain it to Nanny Zhao that she didn't care, which didn't mean she was a fool.

The end of the new year is approaching, and few bodyguards are willing to travel far away, which means that they cannot stay at home with their wives and children during the New Year.

Everyone stays away from home all year round, and they all want to have a happy reunion during the Chinese New Year. Besides, Sunset Mountain Evil Gate, Zhao Mama offered a big price, but the other party was still unwilling to accept it.

"In this way, it will take less than ten days for us to send our group out of Sunset Mountain, and for you to make a detour back."

Li Haitang took a compromise method, if he needed a bodyguard halfway, he could just hire another person, there was no need for someone to follow him all the way back to the capital.

"Miss, you should be more considerate."

Zhao Nanny gave her a thumbs-up, and talked to the head of the bodyguard again. After talking about it, she gathered seven people and went on the road.

Seven men rode fast horses with wine gourds on their waists.

Among them, the youngest bodyguard has just turned twenty-five, his name is Wang Xiaoqi, and he is still a bachelor. He is the most talkative, and he introduces the situation of Sunset Mountain while drinking.

If they want to go to Sunset Mountain, they can't enter the town, so they can only sleep in the wild in the mountains. The group of them sleep in a carriage.

"I suggest that we stay in the carriage tonight and not enter the village."

At the foot of Sunset Mountain, there is Sunset Village. The people in the village are also very aggressive. They have been around for many years, and they are familiar with it. Sunset Village is not simple. He made people dizzy, and took the opportunity to steal money from passers-by.

In the wilderness, although it is colder, you can advance or retreat. If you go to the village and get caught in the smoke, you will become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered.

The bodyguards set up the tents they carried with them, and set up a bonfire in the open space to keep warm. Several people got together to study.

Li Haitang ate a bowl of warm glutinous rice **** stuffed with sesame seeds, and then stood behind Wang Xiaoqi, listening to their discussion.

Sunset Mountain is a dangerous place. If it weren't for the high price and short period of time for this trip, they would not be moved by money, especially Wang Xiaoqi. If you have enough money, buy a few more acres of land, and then stay in the village to farm with peace of mind."

It is true that walking darts makes money, but you have to tie your head on the waistband of your trousers. He started playing darts at the age of eighteen. Every year, some of the dart masters die, or become disabled, or suffer from serious illnesses.

Not at home all year round, his parents can't take care of him, and the little ladies in the village are afraid of becoming a widow, so he can't be called a daughter-in-law.

No, it was hard to find a suitable one, but the other party only asked him to change careers.

"Ten months out of the year, I don't have any news. I don't know if I'm alive or dead. My mother always cries when she misses me."

Escorts have their own difficulties and helplessness, Li Haitang has heard about it from the savage husband, and she understands it very well.

This idea is not well-informed, unlike modern times, no matter where they are, they will know each other's news after a phone call, but in Daqi, the carriages and horses are very slow. Of course, being slow also has its advantages. Communication takes a long time, and you can only love one person in your life.
