    "Xiao Jing, where are you ahead?" In the carriage, Yunshan looked a little weak.

    A few days ago, they encountered a sudden heavy rain on their way, and they couldn't reach the village or store. At that time, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and the cloud scenery did not dare to let the group of people take shelter under the trees, so they could only move forward in the rain. Unexpectedly, the car collided with the car on the way.  On a stone in a puddle, the wheel broke. Yunshan knew how to repair it. He went to repair it in the rain, but got caught in the rain and caught a cold.

    Fortunately, he is in good health, and there is nothing serious after all. He saw a doctor, took medicine, and Yun Jing secretly nourished him with spiritual energy. He has recovered to a certain extent, but he is still a little sluggish.

    Starting from home, Yunjing and the others had already traveled for twelve days and entered Fengyang County.

    We should have been able to arrive a day earlier, but Yunshan had a cold and was delayed for a day.

    During the more than ten days of journey, they walked four to five hundred miles. Along the way, Yunjing saw different customs and customs, which greatly broadened his horizons.

    On the way, there are dozens of miles of barren mountains, so barren that there are very few birds and animals, and hundreds of miles of fertile plains. As far as the eye can see, they are all farmland, and there are even ten miles of plum groves. The bayberry wine in that area is particularly famous

    Now they are advancing on the official road in Fengyang County, it is noon.

    The Dali Dynasty is too big. It is four to five hundred miles away from Niujiao Town. Even the accent has changed a lot. Yunshan Jiang Susu and others have never learned Mandarin, and it is difficult to communicate. Fortunately, Yunjing can understand Mandarin, and  He also learned the dialect very quickly, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to ask for directions.

    "Dad, after crossing the chain bridge in front, we can reach the county seat of Fengyang County in more than ten miles," Yunjing replied, and then Yunjing added: "Tomorrow, we should be able to reach my mother's hometown.  Xiaolin Village¡±

    As soon as he said these words, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

    It has been more than ten days, and we are finally close to our destination. Except for Jiang Susu, no one in the group has ever traveled such a long distance in their lives.

    Jiang Susu came out of the carriage at this time and said: "Xiao Jing, you said there is a chain bridge in front of you?"

    ¡°Yes, mother, look, it¡¯s right in front,¡± Yun Jing pointed to the front and said.

    Jiang Susu looked around, seeming to recall something, and her eye circles suddenly turned red.

    The cable bridge is only twenty or thirty meters long. It is connected between the two mountains by iron chains as thick as an arm. It is covered with thick wooden boards of different sizes.

    It¡¯s unknown how many years it has been in existence. The iron chains have become a little mottled and there are signs of repair. When the wind blows, the chain bridge sways slightly, which is a bit thrilling.

    "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Yun Jing immediately asked with concern when seeing his mother's expression.

    Shaking her head, tears fell from Jiang Susu's eyes, and she murmured: "I remember walking across this chain bridge. I had only been away from home for a few days, and I couldn't find anything to eat in Fengyang County. Many people  Everyone looked at me with ill intentions, so I just thought about going to a distance to beg for food. When I passed by here, there were a few people who were fleeing with me."

    It turned out that she was just thinking about the bad experience she had had. Yun Jing comforted her and said, "Mom, it's okay. The past is over."

    "Yes, the past has passed. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years. My mother is already in her thirties and has three of your children. But those scenes at the time, looking back now, seem to still be there.  Yesterday," Jiang Susu said sadly as she wiped her tears.

    Yun Xi stretched out her little head, looked at the chain bridge in front of her, stuck out her tongue and said, "Mom, don't cry. That bridge looks so dangerous. How did you get here at that time?"

    "Come here, Xiao Xi, actually that bridge is very strong, by the way" Jiang Susu recalled, and then suddenly thought of something, looking at the cable bridge that was getting closer and closer, she looked around.

    Yunjing asked: "Mom, what did you remember?"

    "Xiao Jing, please slow down the carriage, and mother will walk over. You will know later," Jiang Susu said calmly.

    Yun Jing followed her, stopped the carriage, and helped her walk towards the chain bridge.

    Arriving at the bridgehead, under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Susu searched for a while, and then uncovered a small moss-covered stone slab in the grass. Under the stone slab, three rusty copper coins that were almost integrated with the soil were revealed.  .

    Jiang Susu carefully picked up the three copper coins, showed them to Yunjing and the others, and said, "Xiao Jing, look, these three copper plates are still there, but they are very rusty. I still remember that these three copper plates were mine."  The only money I had with me was that I was afraid of being robbed on the road, so I hid it quietly here, thinking that if I couldn't find it, I would come back and take it out. I could also buy some steamed buns to live longer. At that time, my mother had  I have nothing, just three copper coins, and I have been reluctant to spend it. If I buy six steamed buns, I will just pour water., so as not to get into trouble. As for whether you listen or not, that¡¯s your business. Don¡¯t blame me for talking too much.¡±

    "Thank you for your kindness, old man. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't matter," Yunjing said politely and politely.

    It seemed that not many people were so polite to him. The old man was a little at a loss and simply said directly: "That's it. I dare you to let me know that the north of Fengyang County is not peaceful. You are from out of town. It's best not to go there to avoid danger."  Hey, lest I lose my life, it¡¯s not that I rely on my old man and betray him to harm the public security in Fengyang County. It¡¯s actually not peaceful there all the time, especially with the recent war in the imperial court, it¡¯s even less peaceful there.¡±

    Hearing this, Yunjing raised his eyebrows. He remembered correctly. His mother's hometown, Xiaolin Village, was just north of Fengyang County.

    It was necessary to understand clearly at this time, so he asked: "Old man, I wonder if you can be more specific?"

    "What can't be said? Everyone in Fengyang County knows the situation there. How can I put it? This matter has to be talked about more than ten years ago. Fifteen or sixteen years ago, I don't know where it happened.  The evil bandits came to Fengyang County. They were vicious and brutal. In the first few years after arriving, they committed all kinds of crimes, including robbery and robberies. They were encircled and suppressed by the government. However, they killed many people in the government but failed. The encirclement and suppression was infuriated.  They, they massacred two villages to express their anger and protest. Back then, hey, it was so miserable. All the people in the two villages were killed. No one dares to go there Later, the government organized organizations one after another.  After several encirclement and suppression campaigns, they still returned without success. Instead, the bandits gradually grew stronger. Now, more than ten years later, the bandits have occupied the top of the mountain and settled in a stronghold. They are known as two thousand men, and they are like a piece of land.  Overlord, the government can't do anything to them, so you'd better not go there, if you encounter them, you'll be in trouble," the old man said in a complicated tone.

    Listening to the old man's words, Jiang Susu held Yunshan's hand firmly, her face turned slightly pale. As expected, the massacre of Xiaolin Village must have been done by those gangsters. The reason was actually to demonstrate to the government. So many  Innocent people became victims of the sword.

    Jiang Susu¡¯s body was trembling a little, probably because she thought of the terrible memory.

    Yun Jing listened, but his brows gradually furrowed, and he asked: "Old man, since those gangsters are so cruel, the government will just let them continue like this? Even if the county government fails to suppress the gangsters, there will always be people in the county and state.  We can¡¯t let them go unpunished, right?¡±

    "How can it be possible? The government is not ineffective. Fengyang County has had nearly ten magistrates in recent years. Just because each magistrate can't deal with the gang of villains, they are derogatory and derogatory.  Several times, heavy troops were sent out to encircle and suppress them, but the bandits were too cunning, and they had some powerful masters. Several times, heavy troops were sent out to encircle and suppress them, but all failed. Over time, the place gained a prestige, and countless people came to seek refuge.  This has led to the current scale. A few years ago, some people said that this incident alarmed the capital. Someone from the capital would have come to deal with them, but as a result, the border war broke out, and the superiors could no longer take care of this small matter.  Then the situation became like this. The north of Fengyang County has almost become the territory of the gangsters, and the government does not dare to take care of it." The old man shook his head and said helplessly.

    After hearing what the old man said, Yun Jing thought that he was in trouble. There was a gang of vicious bandits occupying the north of Fengyang County. If he wanted to take his mother back to Xiaolin Village, he would have to think carefully about it.

    Seeing that Xiaolin Village was so close, Yunjing felt extremely depressed due to such a situation.

    Having said that, if the gangsters over there are really the group that massacred Xiaolin Village more than ten years ago, strictly speaking they are Yunjing's enemies. Because their mother was homeless, her own grandparents were brutally killed by them, and she was also killed by them.  I didn¡¯t have two uncles and an aunt of my own at that time!

    This matter had to be summed up, and then Yunjing thought for a while and asked: "Old man, have you ever heard that there is a heroine named Jiang Xiaoxi in Fengyang County?"
