Chapter 165: Buying the Road

The carriage stepped on quickly, and a night breeze blew, causing the ginkgo leaves on both sides of the official road to rustle.

The carriage was moving forward in the rustling night wind. The moonlight in the night sky was still hazy, with soft lights wandering and shadows, gently caressing the ginkgo trees, gradually retreating, and finally without a trace.

The driver who drove the carriage saw Meng Hua lowering his head for a long time and said nothing, he shook his head bored, then smiled bitterly on his own, turned his head and thoughtfully drove his carriage, and stopped talking to Meng Hua.

Meng Hua was full of thoughts at this moment. Seeing that the groom stopped staring at him, Meng Hua immediately became brave. He turned his head slightly and secretly glanced at the curtain of the carriage with the corner of his eyes.

He seemed to be able to see the beautiful figure in the car through the barrier of this door curtain. At this moment, Meng Hua's face was filled with a satisfied smile.

Xue Jiarong in the carriage kept staring at the door curtain in front of her. While the carriage was running and shaking, the horse lanterns hanging outside the carriage would flicker and darker, and shadows illuminated on the door curtain would also appear and disappear.

As long as you can see the shadow on the door curtain, Xue Jiarong will feel particularly stable. It seems that as long as the man in front of her is by her side, she will feel an extra sense of security in her heart.

However, at this moment, Xue Jiarong suddenly discovered that the figure who had been sitting upright outside the curtain seemed to be slightly tilting his head to look at her.

Xue Jiarong felt ashamed, and a flush immediately stained her cheeks. She couldn't help but lower her head slightly.

The inner world of this man and a woman is like a door curtain in front of her. In fact, both men and women only need to show their attitude and the door curtain that blocks the two of them can be easily opened.

However, for this young boy and girl who had just fallen in love, no one had the courage to cross this thin door wall. It was precisely because of this that he missed a great marriage.

The carriage continued to move forward, Meng Hua, who was sitting outside the carriage, and Xue Jiarong who was sitting inside the carriage, were silently staring at each other.

Meng Hua and Xue Jiarong were separated by a curtain, each with their own thoughts. The young boy and girl who were in love with her was actually a little restless in the carriage walking silently.

However, at this moment, we are getting closer and closer to Yunli Town.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped urgently. Immediately afterwards, Meng Hua and Xue Jiarong heard the trembling voice of the groom at the same time, saying, "What are you... doing?"

Meng Hua immediately recovered from his senses. He suddenly looked up and saw a big tree being cut down, which was now standing in the center of the road.

Two big men holding steel knives stood behind the big tree lying on the ground and blocked the way to the carriage. The two men looked at the groom and Meng Hua, who were driving the carriage with fierce light.

"I opened this road, and I carried this tree. If you want to pass by it from now on, you can stay and buy wealth."

Among the two big men who blocked the way, the big man on the left, who was obviously taller and fat, suddenly read this sentence very skillfully.

Meng Hua was stunned at first. After a moment of silence, he suddenly nodded slightly to the two people blocking the road and said, "Although I have some money on me, it's not a lot.

Uh...If the two elder brothers just want to make money, please accept this little money."

Meng Hua said this while taking out a wallet from his arms and threw it at the big man who had just spoken.

The fat man on the left just reached out to catch the money bag that Meng Hua threw over, and the fat man on the right suddenly came over. He hurriedly urged the fat man on the high side and said, "Hurry up and take a look, there is no enough money to be paid."

The fat man Gao nodded, then untied the bag, and poured all the few broken silver and copper plates in the bag into his palm.

The fat man Gao glanced at the sparse silver in his hand. He frowned immediately, sighed, and said, "Brother, we met a poor man today, and this total was only one or two to seven cents."

The big man who was neither fat nor thin was stunned when he heard this and slowly repeated: "It's only one or two, seven cents? Third brother, have you counted the wrong number?

We have been robbing the road for some years. Even if we have the worst luck, I remember that we also robbed 17 taels and 8 cents.”

As soon as the big man who was neither fat nor thin, he just finished speaking, the fat man confirmed the broken silver in his hand again, then turned his head and stared at his elder brother, nodded and said, "That's right, brother! There's only that little silver in total."

The big man, who was neither fat nor thin, was immediately furious when he heard this. But when he saw the steel knife in his hand waved suddenly, he instantly cut off a branch as thick as a bowl. He immediately shouted fiercely at Meng Hua: "Boy, you want to send us brothers with just such a little money?

Hum... I'm aware of the situation and quickly hand over all the valuable things on you. Otherwise, your head will be cut off like this branch and thrown off to feed the wild dogs."

As soon as the fat man said this, the fat man high quickly nodded and continued, "Brother is right, we are bandits who kill without blinking.

Hehe...you can even afford to hire a carriage, how could you just have such a little money? Do you think we idiots?"

After saying this, the fat man Gao suddenly cut off a thick branch with a knife, and then stared at Meng Hua with gritted teeth, revealing his fierceness.

The big man, who was neither fat nor thin, took a step forward and shouted: "It seems that I have to ask your master for money."

After saying this, the big man, who was neither fat nor thin, held a steel knife and leaned towards the carriage.

Seeing this, Meng Hua suddenly pulled out the knife from his waist and shouted: "You dare!"

He was neither fat nor thin and suddenly stopped moving forward. He stared at Meng Hua on the carriage, and a hint of surprise appeared on his cheek.

"You boy, are you tired of living?"

Seeing this, the fat man Gao shouted suddenly and rushed over, but was stopped by the fat man who was neither fat nor thin.

"Brother, what do you mean?" The fat man Gao said in confusion when he saw his elder brother suddenly stopping him.

The big man who was neither fat nor thin said to the fat man with his ears: "The boy in front of him seems to be a trainee.

Before we can figure out his background, it is best not to act rashly. If we encounter a tough problem, we will suffer a big loss."

After hearing what the eldest brother said, the fat man Gao suddenly nodded with enlightenment, and then stood solemnly beside the neither fat nor thin man, staring at Meng Hua with a cold look, but he didn't say anything.

At this moment, the lower left corner of the car door curtain was suddenly lifted by Xue Jiarong in the car. She stretched out a white and tender hand from the car and gently patted Meng Hua's back.

Meng Hua was stunned. At this moment, he was confronting the two robbers in front of him, not daring to be careless at all, so he did not look back and take a look. Xue Jiarong suddenly patted him on the back. What was the matter?

After hesitating for a while, Meng Hua stretched out his idle hand to touch Xue Jiarong's hand.

Meng Hua's fingertips easily touched Xue Jiarong's hand. Just as his fingers touched Xue Jiarong's jade hand, Meng Hua's whole body suddenly felt like an electric shock, and his whole body trembled.

At the same time, Xue Jiarong's hand suddenly grabbed Meng Hua's hand. Just as Meng Hua was surprised, Xue Jiarong's other hand suddenly stretched out from the carriage, and her jade hand was holding a wallet.

Xue Jiarong stuffed the money bag in her hand into Meng Hua's hand, and then whispered to Meng Hua under the curtain: "Take my money bag to them too! Spend money and eliminate disasters."

Upon hearing this, Meng Hua took the money bag handed over by Xue Jiarong, and immediately replied in a low voice: "Don't worry! As long as I am here, whoever dares to touch a hair of your hair will fight him."

After hearing Meng Hua's words, Xue Jiarong felt warm and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Then, her eyes became wet.

Meng Hua held the money bag handed to him by Xue Jiarong, and immediately said to the fat and thin man in front of him: "I also give this money bag to you. I hope you keep your promise and take our money and let us go."

After Meng Hua said this, he threw the wallet that Xue Jiarong handed over to the big man who was neither fat nor thin.

The big man, who was neither fat nor thin, took the money bag that Meng Hua threw to him, then weighed it in his hand for a while, and smiled and said, "Well, this is the case."

The fat man standing beside the big man who was neither fat nor thin, glanced at the money bag in his elder brother's hand and laughed with joy, then said, "Brother, the money they handed over this time still looks a bit worth it."

The big man, who was neither fat nor thin, nodded and said, "This is really a bit heavy, and it should be a lot of money."

The fat man Gao was immediately happy when he heard this and said with a smile: "Brother, can you pour it out and count it?"

Meng Hua looked at the two people in front of him, and he said endlessly. He frowned and couldn't help but say, "Hey, brother bandit, since you have already collected our money, can you let us go first? We have something urgent to rush back to the town."

The big man who was neither fat nor thin was about to untie the money bag in his hand, but heard Meng Hua urging them to let him go. The big man who was neither fat nor thin immediately nodded slowly, and then he wanted to untie the money bag in his hand.

The fat man standing beside him couldn't help but confirm again: "Brother, do you really let it go?"

"If you collect other people's money, of course you have to put it aside." The big man, who was neither fat nor thin, smiled and nodded while nodding.

"Okay! I'll move the big tree away." After saying this, the fat man of the tall man wanted to move the big tree blocking the way.

"etc……"

The fat man was stunned and immediately looked at his elder brother.

The coachman and Meng Hua, who were sitting in the carriage, suddenly changed their minds when they saw that the big man who was neither fat nor thin, suddenly looked at each other, all with anger.
