Chapter 46: Up Three Mile Canyon

When Yan Yin woke up comfortably from his sleep, Fang Xue and Lin Qing'er were surrounding the old woman and talking about something.

"What are you talking about?" Yan Yin walked up to ask.

Lin Qing'er looked at Yan Yin and said, "Wake up! Are you hungry?"

Shaking his head, Yan Yin had eaten a lot yesterday, so he wasn't hungry so quickly. "Not hungry, we can almost leave."

Fang Xue nodded, took a black box from the old woman, thanked the old woman, and then left the house with Lin Qing'er.

Yan Yin took out a bag from his belt and handed it to the old woman who sent it to the door and said, "Mother-in-law, you are so old, it's not easy to live alone. There's some money here, so buy you something delicious."

"This...how can this be done?" the old woman waved her hand vigorously and said, "If you have this heart, I'm very happy. You are a boy and have two girls. You can't help but have some money on the way, so it's better to keep it yourself!"

With a smile, Yan Yin thought to himself that this mother-in-law was very thoughtful, but she still handed the bag full of silver to the old woman without saying anything. "Mother-in-law, please accept it! We are not short of money, and I like to help others very much. Mother-in-law, you live alone again. These silver can help you a little. Okay, mother-in-law, let's not talk about it, I'll leave."

Putting the silver to the old woman, Yan Yin walked to the carriage with great strides, sat in the carriage, looked at the old woman standing at the door, and waved her hand, "Mother-in-law, there will be a time left in the future, take care of her health."

With a whip, Yan Yin drove the carriage to carry Fang Xue and Lin Qing'er again.

In the carriage, Fang Xue took out the black box that the old woman gave her, and saw some needles and thread inside.

"Sister Fang Xue, do you want needles and threads to sew this?" Lin Qing'er approached Fang Xue's ears, pointed to the black bear fur neatly stacked in the carriage under their soft buttocks, and said softly, "This should be what Fang Yin did last night, so it's very comfortable to sit on it."

Fang Xue whispered, "He thought very thoughtfully and used it as a cushion for us. But I saw him sitting on the hard seat of the carriage, and it should be very uncomfortable. So, I want to cut and sew it and make a cushion for him. It just so happened that the black bear's fur is big enough, haha..."

After listening to Fang Xue's words, Lin Qing'er sighed softly, "Although Sister Fang Xue looks as cold as frost, she is indeed so kind and meticulous in her heart. Some people are blessed!"

Knowing that Lin Qing'er was pointing something, Fang Xue smiled gently and said nothing.

"Driving!" Yan Yin outside the car shouted loudly, and the horse neighed a long time, and the speed of the carriage increased again, leaving with the rolling smoke and dust.

After leaving for about half a day, Fang Xue suddenly said, "Fang Yin, stop."

Yan Yin hurriedly pulled the reins, and after the carriage stopped, he jumped out of the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at Fang Xuelin Qing'er inside and said, "Xue'er, is there something wrong?"

Fang Xue smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I'll give you something, and said, taking out a cushion made of square black bear fur from behind. "I did it casually. When you're rushing the bus later, just sit on it, it will be more comfortable."

After taking the black bear fur cushion sewn by Fang Xue, Yan Yin nodded seriously, "Thank you! Xueer, you are so good."

A hint of blush appeared on Fang Xue's face and said, "I'll talk nonsense", and then turned around and looked to the side. However, her cold and beautiful face showed unhidden joy.

"Hehe" Yan Yin smiled, put the black bear cushion on the seat, and sat under his butt. Yan Yin felt very comfortable, raised the whip, Yan Yin shouted lightly, and walked forward again.

Along the way, many forks began to appear, from all directions. However, I asked some people on the road and followed Fang Xue's instructions, the carriage did not go in the wrong direction.

After walking for several hours, when it was about to get into the night, the carriage came to a tree-lined corridor. Yan Yin looked around and found that there were several carriages. He stopped the carriage and opened the curtain. Yan Yin looked at the two inside and said, "You can wait in the car, I'll ask."

"Yeah, be careful," Fang Xue hugged Lin Qing'er who was already asleep and said softly to Yan Yin.

Nodded, Yan Yin held the whip in his hand and walked towards the place where he listened to several carriages.

There, a group of people were talking about something around a bonfire, and a trace of laughter came from time to time.

"I wonder what's wrong with this young man?" At this time, a very refined man walked out from behind a carriage and looked at Yan Yin and asked.

"Oh, that's it. I want to ask, where is this place, and I don't know if there is a place to rest in front of you." Yan Yin said politely, "I'd like to ask my brother for advice."

The man glanced at Yan Yin and said in a deep voice, "This is a Ten Mile Tree Road. There is a Sanli Canyon more than ten miles ahead. After walking through the canyon for more than ten days, it will be Donghai City. There is no place to rest nearby. If there is one, we will not stay here. However, there are several nests of robbers in that Sanli Canyon, who often rob the money and goods of passing merchants."

"Bandit?" Yan Yin was stunned, and then bowed and said, "Thank you, brother, I came out with my friend this time and prepared to go to Donghai City. Since it was my first time coming out, some places are not very familiar, haha."

The man nodded, looked at Yan Yin, then looked at Yan Yin's carriage that was parked not far away, and said, "I think you haven't prepared much, so let's do it! If you don't mind, you can call your companions over and eat something around the bonfire. It's okay to be outside and take care of each other."

"Yeah, thank you brother." Yan Yin said happily, "My name is Fang Yin. The one in the car is my sister and friends. They are afraid of having sex, so they don't like to show up."

The man nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you will give them the little food later! My name is Yang Er, these people are my subordinates. We are a small transportation convoy, which specializes in transporting some caravans."

Yan Yin looked at Yang Er's carriage and found that there were some medicinal herbs or fur on it.

"Thank you, Brother Yang Er, then I'll go and say to my sister and the others first." Yan Yin bowed to Yang Er Gong, hurriedly returned to the carriage, opened the curtains and looked at Fang Xue. "In front is a caravan's transportation convoy, and the leader is a man named Yang Er. I had already told him just now, and he said he could let me go over and eat something, and allowed me to bring you some things by the way."

"It's so great." Lin Qing'er, who woke up at some point, said, "I felt a little hungry, and someone helped us. It's so great." As she said, Lin Qing'er whispered, "Fang Yin, can you help me ask them for some hot water? I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach and want to drink some hot water."

Looking at Lin Qing'er's pretty face, Yan Yin nodded and said, "Okay."

After a while, Yan Yin, who had left, brought some food and a cup of hot water into the carriage, and said, "This is what I asked for from Brother Yang. He is a good person. When he heard that you were going to drink hot water, he found a kettle and porcelain cup from the goods and cooked some water for me."

"Thank you very much for me," Lin Qing'er took the cup from Yan Yin's hand and said softly.

Back at Yang Er and his team's bonfire, Yan Yin sat aside and talked to Yang Er, "You said there is a canyon ahead, and there are a group of robbers on the canyon, right?"

Nodded, Yang Erdao, "It's true, but this is not a group of ordinary robbers. If it is an ordinary bandit, we are not afraid of it. However, it is a group of very fierce bandits. They all have the strength of innate warriors, two of them are leaders, and even at the level of generals." As he said, he glanced at Yan Yin and said, "Although you are young, you look good. In the realm of innate warriors, you can have such cultivation at this age, it can be considered in thousands of ways."

Yan Yin smiled and said, "Where is it! Compared with Brother Yang, I am still far from me."

Yang Er took a sip of the strong wine at hand and smiled, "I'm not hiding it from you. I've been in the general for several years, but I've been stuck in this level and have never made any progress. In our team, everyone is the peak of innate warriors, but I am the only one who reaches the level of generals. It is precisely because of this that we are very careful when walking this stretch. Because of the gap in strength, compared with those bandits, we are not enough to see." As he said, holding a wine bag full of strong wine, he said, "Come on?"

Yan Yin smiled and said, "Okay"

In his memory, his father was also a person who liked drinking very much. Every time he practiced, he would drink a little while eating.

After taking the wine bag from Yang Er, Yan Yin took a sip, and felt that the tip of his tongue was slightly spicy. Then he took a few sips and said loudly, "Yes, although it's a bit spicy, it's very comfortable."

"Haha..." Yang Er laughed and said, "Brother Fang, when it comes to wine, my wine is not good, but it is not bad either. It has an extremely nice name - Huo Liquor."

In Yan Yin's puzzled gaze, Yang Er said, "The more you drink this fire spirit, the hotter your body will feel. We transport goods all year round and walk more, it will inevitably be boring. Drinking this fire spirit and practicing attacks with the alcohol will make you feel very happy."

Nodded, Yan Yin took a few more sips and said, "Brother Yang, this is the first time I drink wine, but this wine is really good. If you don't dislike it, can you sell me some when you leave?"

Laughing, Yang Er said, "What are you talking about selling or not? If you want it, I can give you a few jars."

"Thank you, thank you," Yan Yin smiled happily.

All along, wine has been the best thing to narrow the relationship between men.

After drinking, Yan Yin was also a little drunk. Looking at Yang Er, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yang, since there are bandits in the Sanli Canyon ahead, aren't you afraid?"

Yang Er sighed and said, "I'm afraid, why aren't you afraid! One year, we also passed by, but the bandits suddenly rushed out, fought and plundered us, and snatched all the goods they were transported. Several of them were killed by them." He stomped his fist hard, and Yang Er's face looked resentful, "If we hadn't all of us had families and needed to support our families, how could we do such a desperate business? Fortunately, the boss was a good person. When we knew that we had met the bandits, we didn't ask for compensation. On the contrary, we also gave us some money to take care of the injured brothers."

Looking at the man who was shouting loudly not far away, eating meat and drinking in big mouthfuls, Yang Er drank all the leftover wine in his bag. "This time, because he was going to Donghai City, he had to go to this road. We also had to work hard to fight for luck, and hope that those people would not come out."

Yan Yin's eyes flashed and said, "Brother Yang, why is there no government in charge?"

"Official?" Yang Er shook his head and said, "What's the use of me? Come and I'll leave. You go and I'll come again. It's useless! This is more than ten days away from Donghai City. Here is another path on the way to Donghai City, so not many people are paying attention to it." After a cautious look around, Yang Erxu had drunk too much wine, so he poured out a lot of words in his heart. "Brother Fang, you don't know that this southern border looks safe, but there are dangers hidden inside. The lieutenant general and monarch of the empire have always wanted to transfer General Nangong Jian out of the southern border and then eradicate General Nangong. But because of General Nangong's strength and some things in the northern border, I haven't started. I guess, it won't take long to make a huge change in this empire." After another sip of wine, Yang Er continued to say to Yan Yin, "I just hope that this southern border will not be like the northern border. In the end, all the soldiers will unload their armor and return to the fields, so that strange beasts will grow."

He was shocked and Yan Yin said, "Brother Yang, what's the matter when you just said that the soldiers in the northern border have removed their armor and returned to the fields?"
