Chapter 390 The hero's stumbling block on the road to escape from the famine 41
The other captured bandits who were still conscious also echoed the sentiment. Seeing that they were so tight-lipped, A Yuan did not say anything more. He was planning to take people to their lair anyway, and he did not believe that they would all keep their mouths shut.
If all else fails, use the Mantra Pill given by Xiao Yun, and you will always be able to get some information out of it.
Of course, these were not found out by A Yuan. He just came up with them on the spur of the moment after hearing what Xiao Lin said. He wanted to deceive these bandits and also told his men to hear them. Otherwise, how would he lead them to the valley later?
A Yuan had his men tie up the surviving bandits and throw the dead ones into a ditch nearby. He also cleaned up the battlefield and covered the bloodstains with soil to avoid scaring passers-by.
It took only a quarter of an hour to finish all this. Xiao Yun took his servants to drive the car to the front to find a place to rest. Then they took their men and escorted the bandits towards the valley.
With Xiao Lin around, Xiao Yun was not worried about them being ambushed, so he took the rest of the people and drove forward.
They didn't walk too far and stopped at a relatively spacious open space. They asked the servants to light a fire and cook. It was already noon, so they ate here while waiting for them to finish.
Seeing her calm expression, the Mingyue sisters were no longer nervous. Only Zhang Xiaotao and A Yuan's three concubines were still a little uneasy, and they looked back the way they came from time to time.
"Cousin, are the adults really okay? Should we go to the nearest county town for help?"
The concubine named Mei Niang spoke with a worried look on her face.
"Yes, I don't know how many people are still in that bandit's den. If there are too many people and it's their territory, the adults might suffer."
The concubine named Hongling also echoed.
The other concubine named Shuangshuang didn't say anything, but just looked at Xiao Yun expectantly, obviously thinking the same thing.
What they said made sense. If we didn't already know the details, it would be risky to go there rashly.
Xiao Yun had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't worry, my cousin already knew about this force before he came here, so he brought so many officers and soldiers with him, and they are all good fighters, just to eliminate them by the way.
My cousin never fights a battle without confidence. I think he already knows the details of those people. I didn't see him go straight to their lair. He must have been keeping an eye on them for a long time. Nothing will happen. We just need to wait quietly."
The three of them relaxed a little after hearing this, but they would still look towards the road from time to time, as they were still worried until they saw the person coming back safely.
These three concubines were all good people. They all fell into prostitution because of family misfortunes or lack of relatives. Later, they were bought into the mansions of the former officials to be dancers, and then given to A Yuan as concubines.
This was also their good fortune. Although Yuan could not give them children nor the right to manage the household, he was not stingy with money and was very generous.
As long as I follow Yuan for one day, at least I won't have to worry about food and clothing, and I can save some money so that I can live a good life if I want to leave in the future.
In fact, according to Xiao Yun, it would be great to follow Yuan for the rest of her life. She wouldn't have to work so hard to earn money to support the family, nor would she have to suffer the pain of childbirth. She wouldn't have to be pressured by a wife, and she could do whatever she wanted at home and sleep until noon without anyone bothering her. How wonderful it would be.
Xiao Yun saw Zhang Xiaotao looking at the road from time to time, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. She had long seen that this girl had fallen in love with her adopted eldest son Gu Huairen.
Of course, the boy also had some ideas. He secretly put two in his wallet and thought that no one knew about it. In fact, the whole family knew about it, but they just didn't say it openly.
Their family didn't have any prejudice against family background. After all, they were just farmers before and even had some criminal records.
Zhang Xiaotao was just an orphan, not a member of a lowly family. Moreover, she was indeed very pretty. Not only was she good at embroidery, she was also literate, which was very rare.
Even though the Gu family has changed their status and can now marry a daughter of an official family, their mindset has not changed. They subconsciously think that it would be a bit too high to marry if they marry a daughter of a housekeeper.
By then, the girl's family would probably look down on a family like them. Gu Lanzhang also thought so. He was afraid that his wife would be wronged if a wealthy family married a daughter-in-law.
After all, a daughter-in-law from a too high family background will look down on her mother-in-law. He has seen a lot of this among his current colleagues. In ancient times, people still emphasized marrying a daughter-in-law with their heads down and marrying a daughter with their heads up.
