The old man jumped from one car roof to another. Every time he went to a place, the guards would rush over, but unfortunately none of them could chop him down.
Seeing that the old man could escape the encirclement of the convoy with just one more jump, everyone became anxious and stamped their feet in anger!
At this critical moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the north. In the blink of an eye, a group of people rushed over. In the front, a black horse and a white horse were particularly majestic. Sitting on them were Old Man Tai and He Shan, followed by the Chen family guards who brought the news.
The people on both sides had no time to greet each other, their eyes were all focused on the old man who was about to escape.
The old man's eyes turned red and he regretted it deeply.
You have completed a good mission and can get the money by just delivering it to the destination. Why do you have to be greedy for such a small amount of money and come to rob!
Now that I haven’t got the money, my life is at risk!
But it was no use regretting, so he pulled out a porcelain bottle from his arms and was about to spill the life-saving poison.
He Shan saw his intention and quickly shouted, "Everyone, scatter! Be careful, he might use poison!"
Although everyone was anxious to catch the man, they also knew that their lives were precious, so they scattered.
The old man's eyes lit up with joy. He held the porcelain bottle as a threat, turned his head to look around, and was about to continue to rush out.
Unexpectedly, three darts suddenly flew out from behind Mr. Tai and were thrown directly at the old man.
This was beyond the old man's expectation. He dodged two of the attacks, but one still stabbed his arm.
He groaned in pain and the porcelain bottle fell from his hand.
One of the Chen family's guards was quick-witted and caught the porcelain bottle.
Now that the threat was gone, more than a dozen guards rushed up in an instant, finally pulled the old man off the car and tore his tendons!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although dozens of people surrounded the three people and they had taken precautions in advance, which should have been foolproof, no one could guarantee that there would be no accidents.
Facing such vicious gangsters, one mistake could cost several lives!
One guard couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Who threw that dart? It's so accurate!"
Chun Hongdong, who was following behind the old man, had a purple face. He secretly shook his wrist and slowly suppressed the pounding of his heart.
She had been relying on instinct just now, not having the time to carefully determine her target. Fortunately, she was lucky...
Old Master Tai dismounted from his horse, just as Chen Zhao jumped out of the carriage and hurried over.
The old and the young held hands tightly.
"Uncle Tai, I haven't seen you for a few months. How are you?" Chen Zhao was very excited.
His sister died tragically, their home burned down, and now the Tai family is his and his nephew's home, with the old man as the head of the family. He respects the old man as he respects his own elders.
"It's fine, it's fine! Chen Zhao, you're back!" The old man was equally excited, but worried about his kidnapped grandson, so his next question was, "Where are the two boys? They've been rescued!"
Chen Zhao quickly responded, "Don't worry, uncle. There were only three thieves, and we caught them all. There's no one guarding that place. The leader of the convoy's guards has personally gone over to pick up the two guys. They'll be fine."
Having said that, the old man still misses his grandson even though he can't see him safe and sound.
At this time, Sesame Ball suddenly shouted towards the distance and rushed over quickly. The big black horse and the big white horse also followed suit.
It turned out that the leader of the guards and others were driving a carriage back. When Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue in the carriage heard the noise, they jumped out of the carriage and started crying while hugging Sesame Ball, the big black horse and the big white horse.
"Woo woo, Sesame Ball, you came to find us!"
"Dahei, Dabai! Woohoo, I missed you! Woohoo, why did you come just now?"
After the two boys finished crying while hugging Sesame Ball, they went to hug the Black Horse couple, crying and snotting. They were despised by Sesame Ball and the Horse couple, but they still didn't move away.
Grandpa Tai and others rushed forward and saw that the two boys had bruises on their faces, dirty clothes, and bare feet. They looked really miserable and pitiful.
Old Master Tai was heartbroken. He hugged them and scolded them, "Let's see if you dare to run around again. If you do it again, we won't look for you at home!"
Having said that, the old man let go of the breath in his heart and his legs went limp. He sat down on the ground, hugging his grandsons tightly on each side and refusing to let go.
“Grandpa, Grandpa!”
The two boys cried loudly, and all their grievances and fears burst out in their grandfather's arms!
No matter how hard they tried to save themselves, they were actually hoping that their grandfather and their family would come to rescue them.
Fortunately, grandpa really came and they no longer had to be afraid!
Everyone felt sad when they heard this, and they quickly found shoes for the two boys to change into and wrapped them in fur coats.
Chen Zhao also stepped forward and patted the two boys on the shoulders, comforting them, "Don't cry, be careful next time, and don't run around everywhere."
The old man stood up and led the two boys to kowtow to Chen Zhao.
"Kneel down and kowtow to your Uncle Chen. Without him keeping watch on the road and sending people to follow you, I'm afraid your family wouldn't know when they'd find you. Also, because of you, the caravan has been forced to stay up half the night and take risks..."
The two boys did not hesitate and knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Uncle Chen!"
Chen Zhao quickly helped them up and praised them sincerely, "In fact, I was just a helping hand. You were the ones who saved you. If you had thrown the purse out and left evidence, I'm afraid we would have missed it."
The guard leader and the others also laughed. The guard leader echoed, "I thought I had picked up a great bargain, but I never thought it belonged to one of our own family! This is truly Qiao'er's mother opening the door for Qiao'er. It's such a coincidence!"
The old man bowed and thanked everyone, saying, "Anyway, it's all thanks to you all that we found these two naughty boys. When we get home, let's not talk about anything else and just have a good celebratory drink first!"
"Okay, thank you, old man!"
"Yes, we've heard the shopkeeper say it many times. He says our food is famous for its delicious taste in the surrounding villages!"
All of them were men, bold men who had traveled far and wide. Who didn't like to drink? Upon hearing this, they all responded with joy, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while.
Seeing that no one was sleepy, Chen Zhao ordered, "It's already this late, don't rest, pack up and go home. Uncle Tai's house is spacious, enough for us all to sleep on!"
The old man immediately responded, "Of course. Just pack your things and head home. When you get home, there will be hot meals, hot dishes, and a warm bed!"
After that, he called He Shan and said, "Send someone home to report that we're safe. Also, have step-grandmother's wife arrange food and lodging for everyone. After daybreak, send a message to the Min and Wu families as well. I'll go to their houses in person to express my gratitude later."
"Yes, old man." He Shan responded quickly and immediately asked someone to report the news separately.
Everyone in the Chen family was busy setting off. Chen Zhao pointed at the three half-dead thieves and asked the old man.
"Uncle, these three thieves either stole and kidnapped children to sell for money, or they're coming for our house. My guards heard them say a few words and it seems someone paid them to make this trip. Do you think we should have someone interrogate them..."
