Chapter Seventy-Five: The Old Man's Confusion

When the old man walked in, Li Qin asked forward and said.

"Old man, is this Fengyunling?" Li Qin dismounted and bowed forward and asked.

"Oh, this is Fengyunling, what's the matter with the young man?" When the old man saw someone asking him, he stopped, gently unloaded the firewood, looked at the young man in front of him, and then spoke.

"Old man, are you a resident in the mountains? Do you often appear in this area?" Li Qin saw the old man's coarse cloth and sporting straw shoes, so he concluded that the old man should be a resident in the mountains.

"Old man, I have lived here for almost seventy years. This road is my only way to chop wood sooner or later." The old man replied when he saw Li Qin's inquiry.

"So old man, have you ever seen archers on this road?" Li Qin continued to ask when he saw the old man talking and saying that the road was going every day.

"You are talking about the escort agency. If you want to think about it, you still think that there is a escort agency who has been stationed here." When the old man heard Li Qin's words, he scratched his head, thought for a while, and then said.

"Oh, so you have seen it. Can you say it more carefully?" Li Qin showed a hint of joy when he heard the old man who had seen the escort agency. Then he helped the old man aside, sat down, and then listened to the old man's words.

"I remember it was a dusk. Old man, I cut off firewood and was about to go home. When I passed by this mountain road, I saw a team of escort agencies camping on a small hillside in the distance. I looked at the hillside a few times, remembering that I saw a few people from Fengyun Village." The old man said as he raised the gourd on his body and drank a few sips of water.

"People from Fengyun Village? Where is Fengyun Village?" Li Qin was very curious when he heard the old man talking about Fengyun Village. Then he asked the old man.

"You said Fengyun Village, Fengyun Village is a bandit's nest in Fengyun Ridge, just on the hillside in the distance, but these people are kind to us people. They only rob the merchants and pedestrians who come and go." Seeing Li Qin's inquiry, the old man first pointed to a hillside in the distance, and then replied to Li Qin.

"So did these people say anything?" Li Qin continued to ask.

"I was anxious to rush to travel at that time because it was getting late, so I didn't care too much, but looking at their expressions and actions, we can see that the people in the escort agency were very familiar with those people." The old man said.

At this moment, a little boy jumped from a distance and walked towards Li Qin and the old man.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Seeing that there was still some distance between them, the child shouted to the old man.

"Is this your grandson?" Li Qin looked at the little boy and asked the old man behind him.

"Yeah, yes." The old man said with a smile.

"Grandpa, when grandma saw that you haven't returned for a long time, she asked me to come and see you. The disease has relapsed and there is no medicine at home. What should I do?" The little boy started crying as he said that.

Seeing this, Li Qin hurriedly asked the little boy, and only then did he realize that the little boy had no father or mother and lived with his grandparents. His grandmother had been bedridden and sick, and he relied on the old man to chop firewood alone to make a living.

When Li Qin saw this, he couldn't help feeling a little sad, so he took out his purse, took out ten taels of silver, and took it in front of the old man.

Seeing this, the old man refused to accept it, but Li Qin said.

"Old man, this money is for the elderly at home. In addition, this little brother is not young anymore. Please help him find a school for the first brother. If you have the remaining money, you can open a small shop in the market. Just keep the family's livelihood." Li Qinyan said to the old man sincerely.

"Hurry up, kneel down and thank your benefactor." The old man was excited and didn't know what to do, so he said to his grandson beside him.

"No, the old man can't do this." Seeing the old man like this, Li Qin hurriedly went to stop him. Then he gently handed the firewood to the old man's shoulder and slowly sent the old man a ride.

The old man turned around and thanked him, and then slowly disappeared among the smoke and clouds of dusk.

But at this time Li Qin recalled the old man's words.

Why did the bandits get involved in this first escort agency? I’m still very familiar with it. What’s going on? Li Qin thought to himself.

In order to investigate the disappearance of military pay, Li Qin decided to go to Fengyun Village in person to find out.

Now the night has spread, and a few croakers are heard from the deep mountains in the distance, and the night wind is gradually blowing. Li Qin steps on his horse and walks towards Fengyun Village in the distance.

After a while, Li Qin saw a village appearing in front of him, and the entire village was built between two mountains.

There are steep cliffs on both sides, and it seems that it is not that easy to get in. Li Qin looked at the mountain village in front of him and thought secretly.

In order not to alert the snake, Li Qin tied his horse to a small pavilion far from the mountain village, and then walked quickly towards the gate where the mountain was.

When Li Qin was about to walk to the door, he became alert. He first carefully then Yue Se looked at the mountain village in front of him. He saw a few people standing on the post of the village. At this time, Li Qin was in trouble. If he went in like this, he would definitely be discovered. What should he do?

Li Qin thought about it, and a plan suddenly surged into his heart. Li Qin picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the side of the mountain village.

‘Peng, Hu Lalala.’

The stone hit the stone wall and made a loud sound.

"Who? Hurry up, go and have a look with me." The person on the post heard the sound and went in the direction of the sound. Taking advantage of the departure of the few people, Li Qin jumped up and flew into the mountain village.

Most of the people in the village were asleep, and only one room in the distance was still on, and there were noises in the house. Li Qin carefully observed the surroundings, and then walked carefully towards the direction of the lights.

At this moment, two patrolmen walked towards them. Seeing this, Li Qin hurriedly jumped up and stood gently on the roof.

The two walked to Li Qin's direction, looked around, and walked towards the other side. After the two left, Li Qin walked down like a crane, stepped down, and gently landed on the ground, and then continued to walk towards the house with lights.

This is Li Qin walking out of the window with lights on, and then the lights are taken, Li Qin looking into the house.
