The carriage speeded all the way, gradually moving away from the bustle and heading for the countryside.

The sky gradually darkened, and it seemed that there were black clouds covering the top.

If you can't see the sun, you can't tell the time. When you encounter this kind of sky, it feels like it's already dusk.

Jiang Sanlang drove the carriage, the further he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.

This road is an official road, and it is the New Year's Eve, so it is impossible to drive for half a day without meeting anyone.

But it's not right to go back now.

"Erquan, take the machete, and tell the younger brothers and sisters not to lift the curtain." Jiang Sanlang said.

There is an undulating ramp ahead, and every time the carriage passes by, it has to slow down, and sometimes you have to get out of the cart and push it to go up.

Hearing what the third uncle said, Jiang Quan immediately became vigilant, and quickly pulled out a machete from under the car floor.

This was specially prepared by him for self-defense, but it never came in handy.

Hope it doesn't work this time.

Yingbao also realized that something was wrong, in order to reduce the weight of the car, she quietly put some apples and melons in the bamboo basket into the cave.

Jiang Yunniang also became nervous, and pushed her children into the car to hide behind her.

The carriage went down a steep slope, and when it was going up the slope, it was suddenly blocked by an obstacle made of small stones.

The stones are not big, and you can't see them clearly from a distance, but if you encounter them when you go uphill, and the wooden wheels are blocked by such small stones, you will definitely not be able to go up.

If you rush hard, you may be able to collapse the wheels.

Jiang Sanlang stopped the car slowly, looked left and right, jumped out of the car, and went to clean up those small stones.

At this time, several figures suddenly emerged from the bushes in the distance. They were four men and one woman, and rushed towards Jiang Sanlang with sticks in their hands.

"Stay here to buy money!" These people yelled and rushed towards this side.

Jiang Sanlang immediately retreated to the side of the carriage, took the machete from his second nephew, pointed at the person coming and shouted: "Who is it! Back off!"

Jiang Yunniang almost screamed, and hurriedly fumbled around, trying to find a self-defense weapon.

Xiao Hei also barked loudly, wanting to jump off the carriage over and over again.

Ying Bao hurriedly comforted it, and immediately stuffed a sickle into her aunt's hand, and handed another to her second cousin.

Before the battle started, Xiao Hei was not allowed to get out of the car. There were five robbers, all of whom were holding various weapons.

There were sticks, picks and chisels, and one of them was holding a sharp sickle.

Now it's three against five, even if I have Xiao Hei's help on my side, I don't think there is much chance of winning.

Ying Bao took out a small leather slingshot, took out a stone and held it in his hand.

She guessed that there must be more than these five robbers, and there must be someone hiding behind the bushes.

So she has to pay close attention to the movements over there.

Several robbers rushed forward, their eyes lingering on Da Ma, showing greed.

"Leave the carriage! Let you live!" The leader shouted sharply.

Jiang Sanlang frowned in thought, glanced at several people, and then glanced at the bushes.

If these kidnappers really only want money, it is not impossible for them to leave the carriage for the sake of the children.

But if these people don't count what they say, and they lose their carriage, wouldn't the whole family be at the mercy of others in this wilderness?

"I can give you all the money, but horse-drawn carriages are not acceptable. We still have a long way to go, and we cannot live without a carriage." Jiang Sanlang watched the five people in front vigilantly, holding his machete tightly while talking.

Hearing what her father said, Yingbao gritted her teeth, took out several strings of copper coins, handed them to Jiang Quan, and said in a low voice, "Throw them backwards, farther away!"

Jiang Quan understood, took the copper coin, and threw it to the side of the road behind.

The eyes of several people looked at the copper coins, but they did not move. The leading man sneered, "I want you to get out of the car! Get out of the car! Do you hear me? Otherwise, I will be impolite!"

Hong Xiao and Xiao Lang in the car were already crying from fright, and 12-year-old Zhang Yuying was also trembling.

Jiang Sanlang didn't speak, but looked at the other party vigilantly.

All five of them were in tattered clothes, and two of them were still wearing straw sandals. If they could be dressed like this in such a cold weather, they were either refugees fleeing from the asylum, or a group of desperadoes.

No matter what kind of person, as long as they meet, it is impossible for their family to retreat completely.

Jiang Sanlang suddenly said: "Zoom in black!"

Yingbao immediately understood what her father meant, and immediately loosened the rope around Xiao Hei's neck, and patted it: "Go and bite the bad guy!"

He saw Xiao Hei rushing out, roaring and rushing towards the five robbers.

At the same time, Jiang Sanlang rushed towards the robber with a machete in hand, and shouted loudly, "Go away!"

Jiang Quan already understood what Uncle San meant, so he jumped out of the carriage and ran to clean the road ahead.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunniang also jumped down, holding a sickle to help her third brother.

Ying Bao sat on the shaft of the chariot, flicked the reins, and drove the big horse-drawn cart forward.

The car suddenly lost a lot of weight, and the big horse was very easy to ride, and the car drove up the slope very quickly.

At this time, Jiang Quan had already kicked away the stones on the road, and then rushed back to the robbers with a sickle, fighting side by side with the third uncle.

However, two female robbers rushed out of the bushes and beat Xiao Hei with sticks, making him scream.

Jiang Sanlang and the others were obviously outnumbered, even if he had a machete in his hand, it could only be a deterrent for a while.

On the side of the carriage, two young robbers suddenly jumped out from the bushes and rushed towards Yingbao.

They held wooden sticks in their hands and smashed them down.

A bamboo basket suddenly appeared in Yingbao's hand, just in time to block the heavy blow of the stick.

The young robber was taken aback by the sudden change, and before he had time to react, something hit him on the face.

"Ahhh..." The young robber yelled wildly as he fell to the ground covering his face, and many spikes appeared on his face.

The other boy showed ferocious eyes, he slammed another stick at Yingbao.

However, Yingbao had already rushed over first, grabbed his hair, and threw him over his shoulder and smashed him to the ground.

Then he strangled his neck, pressed his thin dagger on his neck, and shouted loudly: "Tell them to stop! Otherwise, I will kill you!"

She was sure that these two young men were the biological sons of someone among the people on the slope, so as long as he was restrained, those people could be forced to retreat.

Sure enough, several adult robbers were startled by the accident, and hurriedly dragged their injured bodies back.One of them shouted sharply: "Stop! If you dare to kill him! I will definitely kill your whole family!"

Ying Bao did not show weakness, and said loudly: "Let us leave safely! Let him go! Otherwise, we will die!"

The leading robber was unwilling, but he could only grit his teeth and say, "Okay! Let you go! But you must let him go immediately!"

"Let us go first, I swear to keep him alive!" Ying Bao pressed the thin-bladed dagger in his hand against the main vein on the boy's neck.

The young man felt ashamed and wanted to struggle and resist, but when he moved, his neck was stabbed and blood flowed out.

Yingbao said in a low voice: "Please don't move, it doesn't matter if you die, your younger brothers and sisters hiding in the grass can't escape! Remember! If one of my family dies, none of you brats will live ! Believe it or not, before I die, I will definitely send you to the West Heaven first.”

In the grass not far from them, there were a few children who were a few years old crying softly, obviously the children of this group of robbers.

One of the girls cried the most when she saw Yingbao restraining the boy, she must be the boy's own sister.

As expected, the boy did not move, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.

It's just that he couldn't see the girl's face, because the girl strangled his neck from behind and pressed his knees against his spine.

The boy was half lying on the ground, still stubborn: "If you dare to touch my brother and sister, I will never let you go!"
