Once out of the city, there were fewer pedestrians on both sides of the carriage. Before it got dark, Qiao Lian'er handed the reins to Qiao Dameng.

"Brother Da Meng, take it easy, we're not in a hurry to get home."

"Okay, don't worry." Qiao Dameng's mind was entirely on the road, and he was cautious, his body slightly hunched.

Fortunately, Da Hong Linghui was exceptionally good at avoiding obstacles, which saved him a lot of trouble and made him feel more relaxed.

Qiao Lian'er gave some pointers, and when she saw that it was almost done and all she needed to do was practice, she had Qiao Xiaomeng watch over her while she kept an eye on her surroundings.

Not only her, but everyone else in the carriage also silently observed the situation outside through the windows and doors.

Actually, this road is relatively safe. I've never heard of bandits stationed here, and I rarely hear of robberies happening.

But Lian'er wouldn't remind everyone to be careful for no reason; it's always good to be cautious.

It had just rained a little, and Qiao Lian'er saw horse tracks on the road.

The footprints of a horse when it is walking and when it is running are different. The footprints when it is running are made with more force, but the area is narrower.

She suspected that if the burly man really had something in mind, these footprints might be related to him.

When dealing with bandits, it's at a disadvantage to fight unarmed.

Qiao Lian'er searched the space warehouse. Of course, there were no knives or iron bars, but there were hoes, shovels, and rakes, which were for the host to use his mind to work in the space.

For strong people, a hoe is even more effective than a sword. And look at those iron rakes, with their four large teeth; one stroke and a person would probably be torn to pieces.

The carriage was large, with seats near the front for people to sit on, and a separate carriage at the back where the vendors set up their stalls.

Qiao Lian'er had Da Meng stop the carriage. She went into the carriage and pretended to rummage through it, taking out four hoes and four rakes from her spatial storage.

Regardless of whether there are bandits or not, it's always good to be prepared.

"We have some handy tools on our carriage. If anything comes up later, you can use those tools."

Qiao Lian'er showed everyone the hoe and rake.

The Qiao family was astonished to see how fine and sturdy the hoe was, and how each tooth of the rake gleamed with a cold light.

"Sickle, where did these things come from? How could our family afford so many farm tools?" Qiao Laosan asked.

"Never mind all that, we won't take it out when we get home. We'll just leave it here for easy use on the road."

Qiao Lian'er knew that once she took it out, she wouldn't be able to put it back into her spatial storage unless she unlocked advanced items. But there was no need for that; it would be difficult to explain to everyone if the item suddenly disappeared.

They exchanged glances and tacitly agreed not to ask any more questions.

In fact, there are some things they have doubts about, but they also know that sometimes it's better not to ask.

Just follow the sickle's lead, and you'll make a fortune!

Qiao Lian'er went to the front and placed two hoes and an iron rake behind the carriage. Da Meng and Xiao Meng saw this and wanted to ask, but she just whispered, "Let's go."

Then she took the reins and drove the carriage herself.

Otherwise, if something happens, Da Meng will probably be in a panic.

After passing through a narrow section of road, with bamboo growing on both sides, the sun was setting and the night wind was getting stronger, making the bamboo leaves rustle and feel a little chilly.

Qiao Lian'er discovered that the horse's hoofprints stopped here, turned back on another road, and headed in the direction of Yongguan County.
