After hurriedly exiting from the back door of the courtyard, Aunt Fang paused slightly and glanced in the direction of the temple on the mountain.
Mammy Yu couldn't help but stop, followed Aunt Fang's gaze and asked, "Anything else?" She only saw Bailong Temple and the cornice of Baiyunao not far away. I don't know what Auntie Fang is looking at.
Aunt Fang smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, let's go."
She tightened her cloak, and hid herself under the cloak from head to toe, then hurriedly walked to the foot of the mountain, holding onto Mammy Yu's hand.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Aunt Fang instructed Mammy Yu to find and rent a carriage or an ox cart.
Yu Mo went away in response.
After Aunt Fang left, she looked around and took out a very ordinary-looking hemp rope from her sleeve, stood on tiptoe, and put the rope around a crooked neck beside the road. On the tree, and tied a strange-looking knot.
After a while, Yu Ma returned in an ox cart.
Fang Auntie didn't say a word, and supported Mammy Yu's hand onto the ox cart.
The bullock cart turned around and drove back to Baihe Town.
What Auntie Fang didn't know was that not long after she left in an ox cart, a tall and strong man in black appeared from the dark. He looked at the hemp rope on the tree with his chin for a while, and finally untied the rope from the tree and put it into his cuff.
Having done this, he put his fingers to his lips, whistled, and two men and three horses emerged from a path.
The tall and sturdy man in black made a gesture, and the two jumped on the horse's back and chased in the direction of the ox cart that Fang Auntie was sitting on before. He himself got on the horse and followed behind them.
Not long after Aunt Fang and Aunt Yu left, the old woman who followed the car came back, and when she found something was wrong, there was still Aunt Fang.
When I asked Mrs. Che where Auntie Fang went, Kumquat only said that Auntie Fang accompanied her to see a doctor, but she refused to say anything else.
I jumped with the wife in a hurry, but there was no way to get the kumquat, so I had to go to Yunyang City to report to the third master and the third wife, while looking for the whereabouts of Aunt Fang.
After getting in the car, Aunt Fang began to think about what she should do next, so as to clear Wufang's accusations against her, and how to negotiate with Mrs. Ren so that Mrs. Ren could stand on her side again.
In this way, after the carriage had traveled a certain distance, Aunt Fang was shocked to realize that something was wrong.
Sitting in the carriage, she felt that the road was much more bumpy than when she came. She still thought it was because the bullock cart was not as stable as the horse carriage, but when she quietly lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside, she couldn't help but turn pale in shock.
This road does not lead to Baihe Town!
Mammy Yu also noticed something was wrong, and immediately said sharply: "Stop! Where are you driving the car to? This road is not going to Baihe Town!"
But the driver outside didn't say a word.
Mammy Yu was anxious and afraid, and could not help but secretly regret that she didn't keep her eyes open when she was looking for a car. She was afraid that Aunt Fang would cause some gossip if she left privately for a long time, so she wanted to go back quickly.
Seeing that there was an ox cart parked on the side of the road, it was cleaner than the other ox carts and carriages nearby, and the carriage was stable and spacious, so I chose this one.
Now seeing the driver take them off the road and onto the trail, it is obvious that they have bad intentions. I don't know what to do with them, Yu Mo was already in a cold sweat.
Aunt Fang calmed down slowly. She took off a pair of pearl earrings, a pair of jade bracelets, and the gold hairpin on her head, and handed them to Yu Ma, she winked at her and said loudly. : "I have some jewelry here, and fifty taels of silver. You can take them. Stop in front and let us off."
Mother Yu took the jewelry from Aunt Fang's hand, took out the fifty taels of silver she had on her body, lifted the curtain of the car, and handed it out tremblingly.
However, the driver outside was deaf, and did not come to pick up the things in the hands of the mammy.
Aunt Fang couldn't help frowning, and said again: "We only have this on us. If you are seeking money, you should take something and leave quickly. Even a weak woman like me will not report to the official. If you are asking for something else..." Fang Auntie paused for a while, then continued calmly, "One of us is an old woman in her fifties, and the other is a woman whose face is ruined and useless, even if you want to sell us, sell it. If I can't get a good price, I also risk being reported to the officials by my family and sent to pursue it."
If it was a normal robber, seeing the money and hearing what Auntie Fang said, even if he didn't let him go immediately, he would feel hesitant, but this one seemed to be deaf, and he didn't respond at all, and the speed didn't decrease. Down half a minute.
Only then did Auntie Fang realize that things were not simple.
She immediately changed her tone and said coldly, "Did the Lin family send you here? Don't even try to live!"
As soon as Aunt Fang said these words, the driver outside sneered and said happily, "You are an aunt, and your tone is quite loud."
Aunt Fang glanced at the driver when she got in the car before, and saw that he was a short and thin old man, but now she heard the voice of a teenager, and she was more and more hesitant.
"Who are you? What do you want to do!"
The young man outside became dumb again and refused to answer. No matter what Auntie Fang used to try, he just wouldn't open his mouth, but sometimes he would laugh when he heard something funny. In the end, Auntie Fang, who had a lot of tricks, couldn't do anything.
She touched the dagger she hid in her cuff, thinking about whether to fight to the death. Since she suffered from Lin's loss that time, Aunt Fang has always kept a dagger hidden in her sleeve, and she would not leave her body even when she was sleeping.
She listened to the voice of the person outside. She should be young, and her body is not very strong. If she and Yu Mama work together, she may not have a chance to escape.
Aunt Fang was secretly making up her mind, but she heard the sound of hooves from far and near.
Aunt Fang and Aunt Yu were both overjoyed.
Mammy Yu immediately raised her voice and shouted, "Help! Help! We've been murdered for money! Who will save us!"
The driver outside really slowed down the horse.
Before Mammy Yu and Aunt Fang could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the man outside jokingly say, "Brother, why are you here? This lady is so long-winded, I can't stand it anymore and want to go in and knock them out. Oh, by the way, she really has a bad heart, she said she wants the lives of my family!"
A hearty male voice laughed and said: "Okay, leave it to them, you go back first."
The teenager who was driving the car threw the whip, jumped out of the car, and said with a smile, "So far, brother, can't you let me walk back? I will follow you and drive the car for you."
Aunt Fang listened in the carriage, but her heart became more and more heavy. She didn't care that there were men outside, so she "swiped" and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
But he saw a dark-skinned, tall and sturdy man sitting on a horse, smiling and showing his big white teeth.
Before, she thought she was a shriveled old car driver, but she took off the tattered felt hat on her head, and the beard used to disguise her face was also torn off by him, revealing a childish face, but this There are wrinkles on Zhang's face.
Aunt Fang frowned.
The young man looked back and saw Aunt Fang, made a face at him, and then rubbed his face, rubbing out some mud-like things.
