Yuan Qi Yu rode on Xiaobai's back and rushed into the village.
Zhou Shan was stunned by his move. Didn’t he say not to expect him to fight his way in?
Although he was shocked, he reacted quickly, drove the donkey cart and rushed out under Xiaobai's cover.
Flames shot up into the sky everywhere, and the horses and donkeys in the village were scattered. The donkey carts blended in and were not easily noticed.
What's more, Xiaobai attracted all the attention.
There were also some brave bandits who wanted to risk their lives, but due to the huge size difference, Xiaobai just blew them away with one claw.
Yuan Qi Yu cooperated with Xiao Bai in shooting with the slingshot on his back, and every shot hit the target accurately.
You know, ever since Yuan Heng started coming to the princess's mansion, he often played slingshot with Yuan Qiyu.
The uncle and nephew are competing, and neither of them gives in.
The bandits covered their foreheads and were stunned when they saw a child sitting on the tiger's back. They thought they were hallucinating.
The whip in Zhou Shan's hand was about to fly sparks. It was really hard to imagine that the young master had such skills.
And that tiger, what is that?
It can change size freely...
Zhou Shan passed through the village first. Yuan Qiyu wanted to just leave, but he heard some sound.
So he shouted to Zhou Shan, "You go down the mountain first!"
Then, he drove Xiaobai back in the opposite direction.
"Little...young master! Where are you going?!" Zhou Shan also wanted to follow, but he thought that the young master had the tiger with him, and if he went there himself, he might even cause more trouble, so it would be better for him to go down the mountain first.
Yuan Qi Yu folded to a secluded place and asked Xiao Bai to become smaller.
The bandits were fighting fires and guarding against tigers.
I don’t know why, the tiger that was so big just now disappeared in an instant.
The mountain boss, who had just been rescued from his concubine's room, was so angry that he didn't know how the village caught fire while he was sleeping.
The bandits below reported to him that a giant beast had attacked the village, and there was a half-grown child on it.
With a few "Pa Pa Pa" sounds, Shan Lao was so angry that he slapped the man who had spoken back several times.
"You're just teasing me!!!"
"You mean? A six or seven-year-old kid rode a tiger as big as a house and attacked our village in the middle of the night, leaving it in such a mess?!"
The subordinates themselves found it unbelievable, but they didn't dare to resist after being beaten. They could only nod and say, "Boss...it's really like this...we all saw it..."
The other subordinates also lowered their heads and exchanged glances. One of them said weakly, "Boss... Could it be that we've been causing too much trouble, and the heavens have sent a fairy child to deal with us..."
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked away by Shan Lao Da, "I don't believe your grandma!"
"You're all still dreaming!!"
"Do you think I'm stupid or crazy?!" Shan Laoda's face was distorted with anger.
"I've never failed in all these years, and now you're so angry just because you told me about a little brat? Then go and capture this brat for me! Otherwise, I'll use your bones to rebuild my village tonight!"
…
Yuan Qi Yu groped his way to the bottom of the mountain stronghold in the dark.
Most of the houses in the mountain village are of suspended-tower structure, with the upper floor for living and the lower floor semi-open for raising livestock.
But at the bottom of this place, many women and children who were abducted and brought up the mountain were imprisoned.
They didn't know what was happening outside. When the fire broke out, many children were frightened and crying.
Yuan Qi Yu came here because he heard the faint crying sound.
When he saw the people who were locked up together through the iron bars, his heart beat so hard that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest.
Xiaobai was held in his arms so tightly that he could hardly breathe.
A woman noticed Yuan Qiyu in the darkness, looked closely and found that it was a child. She lowered her voice and asked, "Child, why are you here?"
"Were you also taken up the mountain? Run!"
Yuan Qi Yu bit his lower lip tightly. When he saw this scene, all the bad memories came flooding back.
The woman's voice brought him back to his senses, and only then did he realize what he was here to do.
He took a deep breath, said nothing more, and went forward to unlock the door.
There was a large iron chain hanging on the iron gate with a heavy padlock on it.
When the people imprisoned inside saw someone coming to rescue them, they all gathered in front of the door.
But when he saw that Yuan Qi Yu was just a child and didn't have a key, the hope that had just risen in his eyes faded away again.
Someone advised him, "Kid, since you are outside, run away."
"If you are discovered by those bandits, you won't be able to escape."
"Your family must still be waiting for you, hurry down the mountain while the chaos is going on!"
Yuan Qi Yu held the heavy lock in front of him, rummaged through his small bag, and pulled out a dagger from the bottom.
This was the New Year gift that my father asked my second uncle Chen to send to him when they were still in Yangzhou.
Daddy said that if we encounter danger again, this dagger can cut through iron like mud, so we must carry it with us at all times.
The blade of the dagger shone silver in the dark and looked extremely sharp.
Yuan Qi Yu first tried to chop the lock with a dagger, but the lock was heavy and only some cracks appeared.
There were a few children watching from inside the door. They were about the same age as Yuan Qiyu, and there was hope in their eyes.
The adults had already sat back down, their eyes blank.
The bandits outside seemed to have started searching the stronghold, and time was running out.
Yuan Qiyu tried to chop at the lock for a long time but it didn't move. He was panting and felt the increasingly tense atmosphere outside. His hands began to tremble and he had no strength.
The words of his father and mother kept echoing in his ears.
"Xiaoyu, when you encounter danger, you must not panic. You must stay calm and keep a cool head."
So he took a deep breath and tried to calm his pounding heart.
"Xiaoyu, even though you may be scared sometimes, you must observe your surroundings carefully and seize every opportunity you can."
Unable to cut the lock, he stopped and thought carefully about what other methods he could use.
At this moment, he noticed the large iron chain.
A chain is easier to break than a padlock, right?
"And Xiaoyu, if you can't do it alone, you can try to seek help from others."
Yuan Qiyu glanced at the children on the other side of the iron fence and said to them,
"Can you help me pull up this chain?"
The children didn't understand what he was going to do, but did it subconsciously.
The children grabbed one end, and Xiaobai jumped down and bit the other end.
The chain was unfolded and straightened with a "rustling" sound.
Yuan Qi Yu held the dagger in both hands and almost jumped up and chopped it down with force.
With a "bang", the chain really broke!
No one reacted. The child inside the door stared blankly at the chain in his hand.
It was the adult who was sitting who reacted first. He quickly stood up and opened the door.
"The door opened! The door opened! It actually split open!"
