As soon as she finished speaking, Fuqiu's body suddenly froze.
Could she say that she hadn't had many opportunities to meet her brother over the years?
What's more, Chen Yuan would not tell her about such fighting and killing to make her worry. For a moment, Fuqiu didn't know how to explain it.
It was Shen Jia who came to the rescue, "Look at Fuqiu's timid look, you should have guessed that Chen Yuan would not tell her about his outside life.
Besides, their experiences are always bloody, so you'd better not ask them any more."
After hearing this, Chen Yue also felt that it made sense and immediately deflated, "So that's how it is, no wonder you looked so curious when you heard it just now, Fuqiu.
Forget it, but we are about to reach the place where your brother and his men encountered bandits last time. I want to observe carefully to see if there are still bandits this time."
"Don't scare me!"
Upon hearing this, Fuqiu immediately shrank her body and her eyes unconsciously glanced around, as if observing whether someone was lying in ambush in secret.
As soon as we stepped into the valley, the sound of wind tearing leaves that filled the air gradually faded away.
In the silent valley, only the sound of horse hooves echoed for a long time.
In this environment, Shen Jia also unconsciously began to slow down his breathing, focusing all his attention on his ears, and paying attention to all movements around him at all times.
Although someone in the team had just observed the situation on both sides of the valley, Shen Jia still felt uneasy. This valley was easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as someone set up an ambush on both sides, his group would be trapped.
His eyes seemed to want to penetrate the dense woods and weeds on both sides of the valley to see if there was anyone lying in ambush behind them.
The wheels continued to roll forward, and the carriage successfully passed through the center of the valley. A sound of someone swallowing nervously could be heard beside him.
The current atmosphere is really too tense. Even after observation, we are still worried about accidents.
This time, Yu Nan and Wu An chose to get off the carriage to escort them, and were now walking in the middle of the carriage where Shen Jia and Shen Ci were.
Hoping that they were just wasting their time, the carriage continued to move forward. There was still no movement around them, and their vision suddenly became wider. They would pass through the valley in less than ten meters.
Even Shen Jia thought he was too suspicious. It seemed that he could still enter the northern territory today. There were soldiers guarding the territory, and the security was greatly improved.
Just when everyone was relieved, a rumbling sound suddenly came from above their heads. Looking up, they were terrified to see countless rocks falling from both sides.
Rocks crashed on both sides of the valley, raising clouds of dust.
Chen Yuan shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Shen Jia took advantage of the situation and fell down, immediately pulling Shen Yue and Fuqiu to their side. The three of them hugged each other tightly, stacking up on the ground.
In the next second, a huge rock hit the shaft of the cart. Without the support from the front, the cart immediately tilted forward and the cargo on the cart was scattered all over the ground.
And a stone hit Shen Jia right next to her. If she had made a wrong judgment just now, she might have become a ghost under the stone.
This time, Fuqiu did not collapse to the ground directly. With the experience from last time, the three of them hid directly under a stone wall with a large protruding part above it.
By the time the rocks stopped falling from both sides, the team had already been thrown into chaos, especially the frightened horses. Without the heavy cargo behind them to control them, they began to run around in the valley, and if you weren't careful you could be kicked down by them.
Some were even injured by the rocks and are now lying on the ground unable to move.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the front, "Passersby! Listen carefully to me, uncle."
This area is mine now. If you want to pass through here, hand over all the valuables on you. Don’t think about leaving anything behind, otherwise the knife in my hand will not recognize anyone.
Consider these horses as a token of your filial respect to me. The village is short of horses, and you have arrived at the perfect time."
Shen Jia secretly stuck half of his head out and looked at the bandits coming towards him aggressively. Each of them was just casually wrapped in a layer of animal skin, with their upper bodies naked in the late autumn.
He was thin, with only a little flesh hanging on his body, and he only held a bone-cutting knife and a pick for harvesting ears of wheat in his hands.
It looked like they were just a mob that had gathered together in a short period of time.
However, the situation was forced, the other side had more people and more power, and there were ambushes overhead, so it still depended on how Chen Yuan handled it.
The other side didn't see any response from the team for a long time, and their anger was suddenly ignited.
"Since you don't want to accept my toast, don't blame us for being rude.
put! "
At a command, rocks began to roll down from both sides again.
But this time everyone had already found a hiding place, and the wounded who had been lying in the middle unable to move had already been rescued.
If the other party does not have a better strategy, it is estimated that the two parties will have to continue to stalemate here for a while.
Seeing that his plan had failed, the unwilling leader did not want to continue to procrastinate and roared:
"Brothers, charge! This team looks like they have a lot of good stuff. After we finish this job, we can have a good rest at home this winter.
My hungry wife and children at home can't wait much longer!"
These words were like a shot of adrenaline, and his men immediately rushed over. The chaotic footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the whole valley seemed to be shaking.
Shen Jia looked at the bandit who was not caring about anything and only had the word "survival" in his eyes. His heart sank suddenly. It seemed that it would not be easy to pass through this valley today.
Chen Yuan looked at this group of randomly formed bandits, thinking of the last successful case, and shouted to the escorts who had fought side by side for a long time:
"Brothers! Come on, avenge the last time our two brothers were killed. They are just a bunch of rioters who gathered together in a short period of time.
My Kung Fu and weapons are not just for show, kill them all!"
They also have resentment because the injured person last time lost the ability to move his legs due to untimely treatment and is now lying in a state of depression at home.
Even if not for himself, but for the sake of his brothers of several years, he must capture these bandits and avenge his brothers.
In an instant, the only sounds left in my ears were the crisp sound of swords clashing and the sound of rapid breathing.
The blood spurted out and fell on the yellow sand. Compared with the darkness of the night, this scene shocked Shen Jia even more strongly.
Now the three of them are completely powerless. If they are discovered by the enemy, they will be dead.
The three of them kept shrinking their bodies, hoping that the other party would not discover them so quickly.
But how can I be so lucky?
The three young girls immediately attracted the attention of the bandits who rushed over. Their dark yellow lips suddenly opened, revealing their rotten yellow teeth. As if unaware of their own ugly appearance, they grinned and said:
"Oh! There are three beautiful young ladies here. You three are lucky to have met me, your brother. I am the most compassionate person in the village.
Come here and let me give you a kiss!"
Shen Jia was really angry at being offended so suddenly. He kept picking up the mud and sand with his hands hidden behind his back, but his face remained calm.
Moreover, they have had no time to take care of their appearance in the past two months. They just find a place to wipe it casually. The other party is amazed and wonders how long it has been since they last saw a woman?
Taking advantage of the other party's relaxed vigilance, he slowly approached him. As soon as the other party stepped into his attack range, Shen Jia immediately swung his hand behind him and splashed it on his face.
The bandit was totally unprepared and had mud and sand splashed into his eyes. He closed his eyes subconsciously, but was still hit. He accidentally stepped on a stone and fell to the ground.
Shen Jia was unwilling to let go of this person who posed a threat to him, so he picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at him, and this time, blood was really drawn.
Suddenly, two stones flew from behind him and smashed towards the bandits on the ground. They turned out to be Shen Yue and Fuqiu. They looked at Shen Jia's unexpected action, suppressed their trembling bodies and joined her.
Shen Hao, who realized something was wrong, immediately stood in front of the three men and killed the thief who wanted to cause trouble with one knife.
When he discovered that there was a fight below and bandits lying in ambush on the top of the mountain, he was at a loss for a decision. If he threw stones, wouldn’t his brothers also die?
Who would have thought he would say this out loud?
Another person lying in ambush nearby laughed and said, "You are so naive! If they are all dead, then the goods below will be divided among us above, and you can even get a few more.
Their lives are in our hands now. What are you still hesitating about? Throw it away now!"
Frightened by this, he subconsciously let go of his hand, and the boulder kept rolling and falling. Only miserable screams could be heard from below.
There was no self-blame in his heart, but instead a secret sense of excitement, as if he saw more and more money rushing towards him.
"ah!
Who is still throwing stones? Don’t you know your brothers are down there?”
After he said this, the rocks overhead did not stop, but instead became more and more violent. Not only enemies but also his own people were knocked down by the rocks.
This time, the leader was completely panicked. How could he do it himself? His life was now completely in the hands of the people above him. The whole team began to disintegrate, fleeing like headless flies.
The defeat was like a landslide. The leader, Uncle Ya, originally wanted to struggle, but when he looked at the enemy's weapons compared with his own, and then looked at the team that was already demoralized, he found that they no longer had the momentum of numbers.
While retreating, he was still fighting with Chen Yuan and others. Suddenly, the sound of rocks falling above his head disappeared.
Uncle Ya thought it was just an accident and shouted, "Brothers, the higher-ups have noticed something's wrong. Hurry up and give chase! Now it's up to us!"
In an instant, his momentum surged, and he began to wave the "weapons" in his hands in a disorderly manner. Chen Yuan was forced to retreat a few steps accidentally.
But what followed was a uniform sound of horse hooves, which rang out at both ends of the valley entrance and exit, and the dust was so noisy that for a moment neither side could see who was coming.
