"Oh." Qingtian heard this and obediently tried to retract it, but suddenly stopped halfway.
"Sunny day?" Mrs. Ye called her in confusion.
"Mom, look, what's that?" Qingtian suddenly pointed to the woods not far from the roadside and asked, "There seem to be a lot of people over there!"
It was broad daylight and the sun was shining brightly, but Mrs. Ye was frightened by the words "sunny day" and broke into a cold sweat.
A little further down the road, through a small patch of woods, is the well-known mass grave nearby.
It is said that at the end of the previous dynasty, someone rebelled and attacked all the way to the capital, in order to take the emperor's head and change the dynasty.
But they were completely wiped out by officers and soldiers here, and corpses were everywhere.
Since the dead were all traitors, no one dared to ask about it. They all felt that this area was filled with extremely evil spirits, so no one settled around it.
Later, gradually, those who had lost their children, those who were caught eloping or having extramarital affairs, those who had died without any relatives, etc., would all be brought here and buried in a random pit.
So this place became a mass grave for the surrounding area.
So when Qingtian suddenly said that there were a lot of people over there, the first thought that came to Mrs. Ye’s mind was, is this a ghost encountered in broad daylight?
People say that children have clear eyes and can see things that adults can't. Could it be true...
Although Mrs. Ye was afraid, she still mustered up the courage to look in the direction of her finger because she wanted to protect Qingtian.
Unexpectedly, she also vaguely saw a group of people.
Mrs. Ye was really panicked now.
These ghosts can come out and wander around during the day, and even I can see them. How evil must they be?
In an instant, many ghost stories she had heard as a child flashed through her mind.
"Oh my god, could it be that the ghost soldiers are passing through?" Mrs. Ye screamed in fear.
The shadows in the woods suddenly stopped in their tracks.
Mrs. Ye hurriedly hugged Qingtian back in her arms with one hand and covered her mouth tightly with the other.
Boss Ye was driving outside when he heard the last sentence. He turned his head and asked inside, "What's wrong?"
"No, it's okay..." Mrs. Ye said it was okay, but her upper and lower teeth were chattering, making a rattling sound.
She always felt that she had just made eye contact with a group of ghosts.
I'm not going to be captured by those ghosts, am I?
"What's going on?" Boss Ye heard something was wrong with his wife's voice, shouted to Shi Lei behind him, then pulled the reins and stopped.
He opened the car door to see what had happened to Mrs. Ye.
When Mrs. Ye saw him park the car, she became even more crazy.
How can we stop the car when we don’t even have time to run?
"Don't stop, go quickly, go quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" Mrs. Ye turned her head to look out the window and saw the group of people starting to come towards her mule cart.
She was so anxious that she pushed Boss Ye desperately: "Hurry up and drive the car! The ghost is catching up with us!"
Upon hearing this, Boss Ye also looked outside. When he saw that it was nothing serious, his expression suddenly became serious.
He grabbed Ye Laosi, who was still sleeping next to him and said, "Wake up, grab your weapons!"
Ye Laosi was sleeping soundly with a hangover, but was suddenly picked up and looked confused.
But when he heard the words "grab your weapons", he immediately came to his senses and subconsciously reached out to the side.
Since leaving Huinan County and fleeing the famine, the Ye family has encountered many dangerous people and situations.
The three words "grab your weapons" are almost becoming a memory engraved in my bones.
Boss Ye carried the bow and arrows and quiver on his back, and handed a long stick and a dagger to Old Fourth Ye.
Ye Laosi rubbed his face violently, forced himself to be alert, and then took the weapon handed to him by his eldest brother.
Boss Ye then shouted to the car behind him, "Brother Shi, Xiao Meng, grab your weapons! Something's happening!"
Shi Lei and Meng Yu were wondering why the car in front of them stopped in such a remote place. As if they wanted to relieve themselves, no one got out of the car.
Hearing this suddenly, the two of them didn't ask any questions and immediately pulled out long swords from the secret compartment under the carriage.
Ordinary people are not allowed to own such large sharp blades.
So Ye Laosi only had a small dagger in his hand.
However, Shi Lei and Meng Yu were ordered to protect Mr. Cen's safety, and they had reported to the government office, so they were able to carry weapons with them.
In the blink of an eye, the people on the other side of the woods rushed over.
They are not ghosts or evil soldiers at all, they are just a group of bandits and bullies.
Boss Ye thought to himself that this was not good. Could it be that he really ran into the same group of murderous bandits?
There were more than twenty people on the other side, all holding weapons of varying sizes.
Looking at their own side, apart from the four of them, there were only the elderly, children, women and children.
How can we beat this?
But no matter whether they could win or not, Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Si did not retreat.
If you want to hurt women and children, you have to step over their corpses!
Seeing that the fastest runner had already run into the range of the bow and arrow, Boss Ye tried to shoot an arrow, but unexpectedly it hit the man directly between the eyebrows.
After the man was shot in the middle of his eyebrows, his body didn't react at all. He continued to run forward for a few steps before collapsing to the ground with a bang.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense.
But the bandits were indeed frightened by this arrow and slowed down their pace at the same time.
Shi Lei and Meng Yu didn't expect that they would face so many enemies.
But there was no possibility of retreating at this time, and the only option was to fight to the death.
After seeing the crude weapon in Ye Lao Si's hand, Shi Lei reached under the car and pulled out a long knife, shouting, "Lao Si, take it!"
