"Who is here?" Halfway up the mountain, the chirping voices of the women alarmed the patrolling sentinels, who stopped them.
"Grandpas, we came here to catch medicines in the mountains and sell them in drugstores in the city. We have always walked this way before, but we didn't expect to meet some gentlemen here today.
It's convenient, sir, let's go there. "Yun San stepped forward, plucked the hair on his cheeks, spoke softly, and echoed the sentry's words in a cadence like singing an opera.
"How many of you are there?" Hearing Yun San's lark-like voice, the four sentinels on duty looked at each other, and they all saw a wretched light in each other's eyes.
"Where are five people?" Yun San's voice became more and more crisp, making people's hearts itch.
She continued to walk forward with the sisters behind her, getting closer and closer to those people: "Masters, when we rushed over this mountain to the city in the dark, it was just dawn, and the door of the pharmacy was just right. Open it, when we sell these things, when we come back, we can drink a few more catties of wine to honor the uncles, okay?"
"Stop." Seeing that Yun San was so courageous, those people felt vigilant, and the cold light of the knife tip was printed with the light of the torch, which reflected on them.
Yun San's expression froze, and he had to stop walking along with the people behind him.
Yun San asked softly, "Miss, what should I do?"
"Just wait." Chu Yunyao opened her clear eyes and slightly raised her head to look up.
The opinions of the several sentries seemed to be divided, and their voices were faintly accompanied by the warm and humid night wind.
"Let them go, they should really be ordinary people who go to the city to sell medicine."
"I can't let it go. In the middle of the night, in the barren mountains and wild mountains, where people are unfamiliar, which woman dares to be so bold, go this way, you forget the group of women we met when we robbed grain and grass. One is fierce, and the other is more ruthless than the other, wishing to kill my brothers with a single shot." The man pointed to his bandaged arm: "If you hadn't blocked it for me, my arm would be terrible. It was completely cut off by that bitch."
"In short, I'd rather not let them go than allow them to pass through. What if they are going to inform us? Our food and grass haven't been shipped out of the city yet. Counting the time, people from the Gong family should come to meet us soon. …”
"Could it be that you, a big man, were scared out of your wits by a few stinky wives? What kind of wives were they escorting the grain and grass? They were all vicious, with coffin faces, and they didn't even smile. A man and a woman can only shout and shout.
Listen to the voices of these big girls, how can there be any toughness? I don't know how sweet it is to speak softly, but I haven't met such a delicate woman for a long time. "
The man said, the wretched smile on his face became more and more obvious: "Think about it, there are only five girls in total, no matter how powerful they are, they can't win..."
The more they thought about it, the more they felt it made sense, so they changed their minds: "Come up, let the old men see what you look like first."
Yun San heard the words and led a few people up: "Look at what the gentlemen said, we are exposed to the wind and sun all day, so of course we can't catch the eyes of the gentlemen."
Yun Sansheng was afraid that they would change their minds, so he almost trotted towards them.
As they got closer, the torch reflected Yun San's little face full of black spots and dust, but her eyes became more and more pure and clear, like a pool of autumn water, sparkling.
Those people looked at Yun San's appearance, frowned, stretched out the tip of the long knife to pick up the gray cloth covered by Yun San on the basket: "What's in it?"
