Chapter 919 Suzhou
Before the bandit who had dragged his master's daughter-in-law could react, the man had already pounced on him, pressed him to the ground, and wiped his neck with a sickle.
A strong smell of blood came to my face.
The host's daughter-in-law finally reacted, hugged her husband, and burst into tears.
"Turn, shit!" The bandits shouted, and disappeared in a short while.
But the village was disturbed by them and there was no peace, with fire and crying desperate everywhere.
Bai Rongxuan leaned weakly at the door. Seeing Shang Junzhuo and Wu Jie standing safely not far away, her heart finally returned to her original position.
There is no danger.
But others had no good luck. When the bandits went away, the villages gradually counted the losses. Some people died, while others were robbed of food... Everyone had their own difficulties. Women cried and wiped tears to scold the bandits for being inhumane, while men were busy putting out fires and saving people, and they had not yet been busy until dawn.
Shang Junzhuo experienced what happened last night, was shocked and scared, and was hit by the smell of blood. His whole body was churning with blood, and he kept retching, and his face was not very good-looking.
Bai Rongxuan said caringly, "Sister Jun Zhuo, how are you? Why don't we rest here for one more day and go on a journey tomorrow. The bandits have just robbed and should not come again in a short time."
Shang Junzhuo shook his head firmly, "No! The more rampant bandits are, it only means that the situation in Nanjing is getting worse. Zeng Shaoquan's influence is constantly decreasing. If this continues, there will be more trouble. Let's hurry up and just arrive in Suzhou early."
Bai Rongxuan said worriedly, "But you are like this..."
"I'm fine." Shang Junzhuo said, "What's more, this village has suffered a big disaster, so it's a bit inappropriate for us to stay here to watch the fun."
Bai Rongxuan had no choice but to agree, "Then if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, don't force yourself to stop talking."
Shang Junzhuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that pretentious person either." She packed up the cut hairs of the two and braided them into braids, and put them in a bag at this moment, "Leave a thought." Speaking of this, she said a little guiltily, "I cut my hair without discussing it with you. Don't blame me for being reckless. Yesterday's situation... I really can't do anything about it."
If the situation in the past night was targeted by the bandits, she was afraid she would not get out easily. She was anxious and could only think of this simplest and clear way to save her life.
Bai Rongxuan touched her short hair, "The hair can grow longer, but if you lose your life, there will be no more time. It's urgent to be in power. Fortunately, you thought of such a good idea. Sister Jun Zhuo doesn't need to explain, I can understand it."
Shang Junzhuo nodded with relief, "It's good that you can understand."
However, in a hurry, the two of them cut their hair like dogs, and they were not at all neat. Shang Junzhuo asked Bai Rongxuan to sit down and help trim it properly with scissors, which made them look a lot more pleasant.
Shang Junzhuo said, "I have never cut my hair for anyone. I have a little unfamiliar skill. Even if I am not satisfied, I will bear it. When I arrive in Suzhou, I will find a special barber shaver to do it."
Bai Rongxuan said, "This is already great." She helped Shang Junzhuo cut it again, but she didn't have the determination and courage of Shang Junzhuo, and she always didn't dare to put the scissors, making Shang Junzhuo very anxious, "Just cut it, I'm not afraid of what you are afraid of? Besides, wasn't you said yourself? You can grow longer with short hair. What's the point of feeling sorry for you!"
Bai Rongxuan helped cut her hair, and the two of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Shang Junzhuo touched his short hair, "Do you think your hair suddenly became shorter, it seemed like he was much more relaxed."
Bai Rongxuan nodded, "Yes! It seems that the burden on her head suddenly eased."
Shang Junzhuo smiled and said, "No wonder those who have seen through the world like to shave their hair. It seems that short hair is always beneficial."
The two packed up their things and went out to say goodbye to the owner. Bai Rongxuan also asked Wu Jie to leave some money as a thank-you gift.
Such a big thing happened, and although the family did not suffer much damage, the honest family was still very frightened. They were really not in the mood to keep a few people. They said something politely and sent them outside the gate.
Not to mention that these three young people are good at being human, they also have money to spend their stay, even if they don’t have it, they are still worthy of gratitude. After all, they took the risk of rushing out to resist together last night, and then drove the bandits away.
The master hugged his granddaughter whom he didn't like in the past and waited for Bai Rongxuan and the other two to leave the village before he hugged his granddaughter home tightly.
Bai Rongxuan and the other two continued to rush on their way. With the lessons of the past, they didn't even dare to stay in the village. They hid in the woods every night. Not only were they bitten by mosquitoes, but they were also extremely haggard. How could they know that after this group of bandits robbed two villages, they were finally targeted by Guan Boyuan. He was worried that Yao Guangyi had not moved for a long time and had nothing to do. When he heard that there were bandits around Nanjing City, he immediately became interested and ordered a hundred soldiers himself to suppress the bandits overnight. At dawn, the entire bandit team was killed without leaving any armor.
Some people thought that Guan Boyuan was too ruthless and had no stakes. After hearing this, the people on the side immediately spoke for Guan Boyuan dissatisfiedly, "What do you know? Why don't you say that when those bandits burned, killed and looted in the village? You are kind to them, why are they kind to the people who have no power to fight back? I told me that Master Guan did this right. These dogs should have been dealt with long ago. After living for so long, they are already cheap."
Everyone thought he made sense and became more convinced and admired Guan Boyuan.
Bai Rongxuan and Shang Junzhuo walked for another three or four days, and finally entered Suzhou City in the evening.
Recently, there are often people who escape from Nanjing. The gatekeepers are no longer surprised. They have never seen anyone as embarrassed as Bai Rongxuan and others. They can't help but stop them and ask a few more questions.
Shang Junzhuo replied briefly, "It's nothing, I met a bandit on the way."
The soldiers guarding the gate suddenly realized and finally let go happily.
Bai Rongxuan was a little surprised. After entering the city gate, she whispered to Shang Junzhuo, "I am so easy to talk to, I thought he would take the opportunity to blackmail some money."
Shang Junzhuo smiled and said, "Suzhou is a wealthy place. They are not short of this money. Naturally, they will not do such embarrassing things."
This is the first time Bai Rongxuan has come to Suzhou!
As soon as I entered the city, I saw a wide avenue with weeping willows on both sides, flowers gathered together, shops on both sides of the street, and the shouts of the guys came one after another. The evening breeze blew the flags of various businesses, and it actually had a different style.
Bai Rongxuan looked at the scene in front of her and was a little distracted for a moment.
Shang Junzhuo reminded her, "Where is your relative living? Do you have an address? Should we look for it now, or should we find an inn and visit it tomorrow morning?"
Bai Rongxuan can't wait for tomorrow.
She looked around and looked for the name of the Dong family shop.
The Dong family is rich in Suzhou, so naturally there are business names everywhere.
Bai Rongxuan easily found a silk shop with four gold-inlaid characters "Dong Family Semiconductor".
She pulled Shang Junzhuo and ran over quickly.
Someone happened to see the guest out and ran into Bai Rongxuan. Seeing that she was dressed in tatters, she thought she was here to beg. Although she was a little bored, she still said very politely, "Do you pick up the rice? Our Dong family only sewed one, three or five rice. You come over tomorrow, I'll leave an extra bowl for you."
Bai Rongxuan grabbed him, "I want to see Miss Yulu from the fourth room, please let me know."
The shopkeeper was stunned. Unexpectedly, such a thin, thin and ragged young man in front of him could call out the name of the lady in the house. He couldn't help but look at Bai Rongxuan a few times, "What do you call him young master?"
Bai Rongxuan said, "My surname is Bai, and I am from the Tang family in Hangzhou."
The shop assistant's eyes lit up and he smiled, "It turns out that he is the in-laws. Please come to the store to sit in the store."
This is a coincidence. Bai Rongxuan casually found a store, which happened to be the business of the Dong family's fourth bedroom.
