Chapter 1621: Earning Small Money Quietly
The two servants and the maidservant were all dowries brought by her mother's family. When they heard the noise, they immediately protected Shi Li behind them, even though they were trembling with fear themselves.
But I didn’t expect that the person who came out of the dense forest was Yu Mo.
"Boss, I am quite familiar with this area of the mountain behind. Please follow me."
Yu Mo had just made a wish in the temple and was about to leave. As soon as he walked out of the temple door, he found a large group of bandits rushing up the mountain with swords and knives.
Relying on his familiarity with the area, Yu Mo turned through a small path and came to the back mountain when the bandits were not paying attention.
With Yu Mo leading the way, Shi Li and his group took many detours and actually avoided the bandits who had been searching for them in the back mountain, and came out from another mountain road.
They came to a remote mountain village.
In order to avoid the bandits, they had walked in the opposite direction of the city, and now they were even further away from the city. Without a carriage or horses, if they wanted to walk back to the city, they might not be able to return until dark.
But the others fell into the hands of bandits, so at least some of them went back to report to the authorities.
This person can only be Yu Mo.
He already knew the people in the mountain village, so he found a family for Shi Li and the others to stay in. He also borrowed a horse from another family and prepared to rush back to the city to report to the authorities.
Before leaving, Shi Li hesitated for a while, then called out a servant beside him and asked him to go back with Yu Mo, not only to report to the authorities, but also to tell Liu's father what was happening.
Now Liu's mother, Liu Qihan and Wen Shiqing have all been captured by the bandits. We have to let Liu's father know so that they can make preparations early.
"Master, please wait here for a while, but don't be too careless."
Although Yu Mo was only a 15-year-old boy, he acted calmly and experienced. Finally, he whispered, "If the bandits track us down here, I'll ask you to hide in the cellar first and never come out."
"Thank you for your hard work." Shi Li listened carefully and nodded solemnly.
She knew very well that if she had not met Yu Mo today, she would most likely not have been able to escape the bandits, and her gratitude to Yu Mo was like a surging river.
But these were not the things to talk about right now. He just stared at Yu Mo and the servant riding away on horseback, and then walked nervously back to the farm where he was staying.
The owners of the farm were an honest and decent couple. When they saw Shi Li, she was dressed elegantly and was always respectful. They even brought her some water and fruits.
Shi Li felt uncertain, so she asked her maid to give her a small piece of silver and drank only a few sips of water.
The sun was setting outside and night fell over the remote village.
Everything was silent, with only the occasional cry of a crow or two.
The servant who was left behind was guarding the door, and the maid stayed with Shi Li in the simple hut, staring at the candlelight on the table, feeling that time was extremely unbearable.
"Miss, you are very tired today, please go to the kang and sleep. I know the conditions here are poor and I am sorry for wronging you." The maid was also frightened, but still tried her best to comfort you.
Shi Li looked back at the kang. At this moment, she didn't dislike the environment, but she just felt uneasy, worried that the bandits wouldn't be able to find her in the back mountains and would track her down here.
"I'll sit for a while. I can't fall asleep even if I lie down now."
After an unknown amount of time, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the dog guarding the village entrance let out a sharp bark.
Shi Li stood up almost immediately.
As the man's vulgar and arrogant curses came from afar, I knew that the thing I was most worried about had happened.
Those bandits found this place!
