C4 Leave Money to Buy Your Way
"Dad, just let me go …" Ouyang Chen looked pitifully at his father, who was sitting at a small table.
"No, the road is too dangerous, let's wait for next year." With a straight face, Big Pillar took a drag from his cigarette and said resolutely.
"Mother …" After begging for nothing from his father, Ouyang Chen turned to his mother with a pitiful expression.
"Mother, just let me go. I have never been to Green Stone Town before …"
"Dazhu, why don't we just let him go …" The soft-hearted Yu Fen couldn't bear to see her precious son's pitiful appearance, so she let go.
Hearing Yufen's words, Dazhu glared at Yufen in disappointment and sighed. He said helplessly, "Sigh … Go, be careful on the way. You must listen to your Uncle Zhang. "
"Yes, I will definitely listen to Uncle Zhang's words. Thank you Dad, I'm leaving!" Hearing that Zhang Xuan had agreed to it, Ouyang Chen was overjoyed. He turned around and immediately ran off.
The couple didn't have time to say anything before they could only sigh and watch their son leave.
Ouyang Chen ran out of the village in one breath. On the road in front of the village, he finally saw Uncle Zhang and the others, as well as Bao`er, who had taken a step forward and looked back three times.
"Bao Er, Uncle Zhang, wait for me. Uncle Zhang …"
"Dad, wait, Cheng is here, hahaha …" Bao`er cried out in excitement when she saw Ouyang Chen catching up.
"Uncle Zhang, Bao`er, my father has agreed. I can go with you to Bluestone Town now. Hehe!"
"Then let's go." Finished speaking, Bao`er's father, who was in a tight suit, led the way, leaving Ouyang Chen and Bao`er hugging each other as they talked. Their faces were filled with excitement and mystery.
Neither of them noticed that Bao`er's father's tone of voice was a little different today, and neither of them noticed the heaviness and worry in his eyes.
Today was the seventh day of the new year. Every year at this time, the village would send a few people to the Green Stone Town to sell the leather, bone, and other things that the village had accumulated throughout the year.
Bao`er and Ouyang Chen had been planning this ever since the new year. Both of them planned to follow Bao`er to see the world. However, Dazhu had always disagreed with Ouyang Chen's decision, which was why today's scene had occurred.
The group of people left very quickly and spoke very little. Only Bao`er and Ouyang Chen were there, happily chatting with each other. When the rest of the team saw these two little fellows, they all had a kind smile on their faces. However, after turning around, they all had grave expressions on their faces.
They had left very early. The sun had just risen and they had already walked a long way. The two little fellows were no longer as excited, but they still had smiles on their faces.
"Everyone, keep your spirits up. The Green Stone Gorge is almost here." This was the first time he had spoken in such a tone on the road.
The excitement on Bao`er's face also disappeared when she heard her father's tone. The meticulous Ouyang Chen had long since noticed everyone's abnormality, and at this moment, Bao`er's father's words moved his heart.
He was not stupid. Neither his parents were willing for him to go to Bluestone Town. They said that he was in danger, but there must be a reason behind it.
At that time, he had been so eager to see it that he hadn't thought about it carefully. Later on, seeing the abnormality of Uncle Zhang and the others, and then hearing those words, how could he not think of the reason?
The group suddenly quietened down, and only the sounds of breathing could be heard. This caused Bao`er and Ouyang Chen to feel a little uncomfortable.
However, the two of them had both entered the mountain before. Every time they lay on the ground, they would carefully wait for the beasts to approach them. This feeling was different from the one they had today.
Green Stone Gorge was surrounded by cliffs on both sides. It was not easy to climb, but it was the only way for several villages to get to Green Stone Town. Because the mountains on both sides of the road were very tall, blocking out the sunlight, it made it look like the gaping maw of a gigantic beast that was spread out across the road.
The group slowly walked into the Green Stone Gorge. Everyone had already brought out their usual hunters. There was a sword, and a blade …
Ouyang Chen also took out his New Year present from his back. Seeing this exquisite sword, Bao`er's face was filled with envy, even though she had seen it before.
The gorge was very quiet, only the sound of footsteps and breathing could be heard.
Finally, the light ahead brightened, and was about to leave. Everyone could not help but let out a sigh of relief. They could not help but feel that their bodies were about to relax.
"What are you guys doing? Continue being vigilant. Don't you know that problems often occur at times like this?" Bao`er's father shouted in a deep voice at the right time.
"Pa, pa, pa …" "Not bad, not bad, not bad at all!" Just as Bao`er's father finished his sentence, a mocking voice came from the front.
"Who is it, come out …"
"Impudent, you dare to be like this with my young master …"
"Pa …" What did you say? " It was as if someone had been slapped in the dark.
"Young …" Head, I was wrong. "
"Hmph, that's more like it. If there's a next time, then you don't need to follow me anymore." "Alright, time to get back to business."
"Yes, yes, boss." The person in the dark hurriedly said.
Then, a group of people walked out from the forest ahead. Leading the group was a young man in white clothes, he looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he didn't look like a bandit at all.
"Tai, I am the one who planted this road, I am the one who opened this tree …" The leader dressed in white pretended to be handsome and shouted, but his words were all nonsense.
"My young master, you almost made me laugh to death, even though you've never been in this line of work before. However, I've never seen a pig run before since I've never eaten pork before, the road in your house is planted … This IQ is so urgent! " His followers all had strange expressions on their faces. They couldn't help but whisper in their hearts.
"Head, it's the opposite. Saying the opposite is the right." A person who looked like a follower reminded them.
Ouyang Chen and the others also had a strange expression on their faces. Even Bao`er's father was stunned when he heard this.
"Cough …" Cough … "This road is mine, and this tree is mine. If you want to fight your way here, leave behind the money to buy it, hahaha …" The youth in white said with a face full of pride.
"Hurry up, our boss has already spoken. Hurry up and hand over all the things you have on you." Otherwise, I will kill without mercy! " The man with the sabre standing next to him roared. Then, he took his sabre and moved forward to snatch it.
"Boss, look, we came from the village at the foot of the mountain. We went into the town to exchange some things, but we didn't bring anything with us, we only have a little leather goods, can you let us go? The entire village depends on these things to survive, if you take them, we won't be able to live." Bao`er's father immediately rushed forward to stop him.
He could tell that this was not a bandit, but a bandit from a large family who came out to play the bandit when he had nothing better to do.
Therefore, he was also careful not to mention the name of the God Spring Village. It wouldn't be good if these guys came to the village to cause trouble.
"Nonsense, your lives and deaths have nothing to do with this young master." No, right? What are you still standing there for? The white-robed youth was growing impatient.
"Yes, boss!" The group drew their sabers and rushed forward.
Facing these people, how could Ouyang Chen's group withstand them? In just a single exchange, they had already caused some injuries. Bao`er and Ouyang Chen were protected in the middle and didn't participate in the battle, but they didn't show the slightest sign of fear.
Both of their eyes were bloodshot. However, no one was willing to allow them to join the battle for fear of being injured.
On one side was a mountain villager, and on the other was a ferocious guard. This was a one-sided battle without any suspense.
