As soon as Liu Ji finished speaking, Yin Le stood on the shaft of the carriage and threw the sharp dart in his hand hard!
The man was caught off guard and failed to dodge, getting hit on the arm. He cried out in pain and blood immediately oozed out.
The sturdy man was obviously shocked. He thought that Liu Ji was the only man in the group who was not very capable, but he did not expect that the woman driving the carriage actually knew martial arts.
He covered his arm that was bleeding, his eyes changed several times, but he did not come forward again. He stopped in the bushes by the roadside, staring fiercely at the little boy hidden behind Qin Yao with his huge and fierce eyes, cursing:
"You little bastard, you don't even recognize your own father. I'll break your legs when you get back!"
The boy huddled up in fear, clutching the corner of Qin Yao's clothes tightly. She could feel the trembling of fear coming from the corner of her clothes.
This is not the reaction of a child facing his biological father.
Liu Ji immediately shouted angrily: "What are you talking about, you liar? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. If it was your son, would you be willing to do this to him? Get out of here immediately, or we will not be polite to you!"
Yin Le immediately showed a silver dart that was shining with cold light. The strong man shuddered all over. The severe pain that he had suppressed with great difficulty seemed to become obvious again, and he hissed in pain.
The boy was not scared to death, and said anxiously in a trembling voice: "Madam, save me, Madam, save me, that man is not my father, my father died a long time ago, and I only have my mother, my grandmother and my younger brother at home."
When talking about his younger brother, the boy's tone suddenly became heavier, his expression became very excited, and his eyes glanced towards the person in the bushes. But in such a hurry, Qin Yao didn't have time to think too much. She just thought that he was worried about his younger brother at home and was very scared.
Seeing that the sturdy man didn't leave yet, Liu Ji also got angry. What a person! Is he really not afraid of death?
"Madam, this man is so ungrateful, why don't we just arrest him and report to the police?" He was secretly excited.
But before Qin Yao could say anything, the sturdy man seemed to have realized the danger. If he didn't run now, he might not be able to escape. He could only glare at Qin Yao and the boy fiercely, then turned around and ran into the depths of the woods.
Fearing that there might be accomplices nearby, the man would gather his forces and turn around to attack. Qin Yao immediately threw the limp boy beside him onto the horse's back and said, "Let's go first, and talk about it when we get to Anxian County!"
Liu Ji quickly signaled Yin Le to drive the car in the middle.
Yin Le nodded, thinking that his master had changed and had the courage to go to the rear guard.
No one expected that Liu Ji would ride the horse parallel to the carriage, looking around, and would be startled by the slightest movement in the woods.
Yin Le: Ah, this!
Qin Yao curled her lips. This was expected, but the fact that he still remembered to take care of four children was already a big improvement.
Looking at the boy in front of her who seemed to be frightened, Qin Yao kept a steady pace and asked: "How old are you? What's your name? Do you remember where your home is?"
After a while, I heard a hoarse voice in front of me reply: "Ten years old. My name is Gou Wa. My home is here."
It was too slow, Qin Yao couldn't wait to ask: "Where is it?"
".It's in a village not far from here, called Wildcat Village." His voice was very hoarse, and he licked his lips and swallowed hard.
"Here." A pot of water was handed over.
Gou Wa looked at her gratefully. He was really thirsty, so he picked up the kettle and drank. The stopper was tight and he pulled it out in a hurry, so his hand slipped twice.
After taking a few big gulps of water, Qin Yao heard a relaxed breath, but after a moment, she tensed up again and carefully returned the bottle to her.
Although it was a constant speed, Lao Huang was not slow, and he was bouncing on the horse's back. Gou Wa might have never ridden a horse before, and his whole body was tense and trembling slightly.
Qin Yao put away the kettle and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. We will be in An County soon. You said your home is nearby, so we will have the city officials take you back. Those bad guys won't dare to come again."
She also told him to be careful when he went out in the future and not to act alone and give these bad guys an opportunity to take advantage of him.
As for other things, Qin Yao did not dare to ask too much, for fear that the child would recall the bad experiences and become stressed, so she focused on comforting him.
However, when the group reached a fork in the road, Gou Wa suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
As if he was afraid that they would ignore him, he repeated it excitedly and was ready to jump off the horse.
Fortunately, Qin Yao was quick to catch him and pull the reins in time, so there was no "car accident".
"What are you doing?" Qin Yao asked, suppressing her displeasure.
Liu Ji, Yin Le and others behind him also looked over. Perhaps they felt sorry for the boy, so Yin Le kindly comforted him:
"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people and we won't sell you off."
As soon as he finished speaking, the child trembled violently. Liu Ji glared at Yin Le in anger and said, "You are really bringing up something irrelevant. Look how scared you are to the child."
Yin Le knew that he had said something wrong and coughed twice in annoyance.
Dalang and Erlang got out of the car. Erlang asked tentatively, "Is he afraid of riding a horse? Mother, please let him get in the car."
However, the boy did not respond to anyone's words. He struggled to get off the horse and kept repeating stubbornly: "I want to go back to the village, I want to go back to the village!"
Qin Yao and Liu Ji looked at each other. Liu Ji rode forward, walked a short distance along the fork in the road, turned back and whispered to Qin Yao, "It seems like he's going to his village."
This place was full of high mountains and dense forests, and he did not see clearly whether there were any farms or houses ahead. He only saw a signpost pointing the direction, and the fork on the left led to the Wildcat Village.
Gou Wa was still struggling, but how could he break free from Qin Yao's iron arms? Seeing that he couldn't break free, he opened his mouth and bit her in a hurry.
Qin Yao was holding the reins with her other hand and didn't have time to pull him away, so her arm was bitten.
It feels a little prickly through the clothes. It doesn't hurt much, but it makes me very angry.
Qin Yao had a bad temper, so she loosened her grip and threw him down.
The height was not high, he rolled on the ground, then immediately got up, huddled back in the grass by the roadside, and looked at Qin Yao. Seeing her frown, she lifted up her sleeves to look at the not-too-light-deep red mark on her arm, a flash of guilt passed through her eyes.
"Hey, you dirty kid, are you a dog? Why did you bite people?" Liu Ji jumped off his horse, rolled up his sleeves and was about to give him a good beating.
The boy stood up and tried to hide, dodging Liu Ji's pursuit while shouting, "I want to go home! I want to go home!"
As he was shouting, tears and snot were rolling down his cheeks. Liu Ji was just trying to scare him, and he had no intention of really doing anything to him. Seeing the child was so scared that he cried and shouted to go home, pointing angrily at the fork in the road,
"Go back! You should know the way by the time you are ten. If you are not afraid of being caught by that villain again, then go back!"
Then, the crying man stopped crying, as if he was stunned by Liu Ji's words "I'm not afraid of being captured by the bad guys again". He just stood at the fork in the road, staring at him and crying.
Perhaps he also discovered that, among this couple, the fierce man in front of him was the one who was truly soft-hearted. (End of this chapter)
