The sun sets in the west, and the sunset dyes the sky red.
Dashi Village hadn't been this lively for a long time. Almost everyone in the village came out and gathered at the foot of the mountain to watch the huge object being carried down from the mountain.
"Mom, what is this?"
"This is a tiger. It's very powerful. Baoer, look at the tiger's mouth. It eats children one by one. It loves to eat children."
“How terrifying…”
The mother and son who were watching were discussing from a distance. The child called Baoer covered his eyes with his two white and tender hands, wanting to see but not daring to, which made the villagers nearby laugh.
The group of people who came down the mountain to hunt were naturally Wang Miaomiao and others.
In addition to the eye-catching big tiger, there were also various other prey. This time the harvest was greater than yesterday, and everyone's faces were full of joy.
"Leader, where should we put this thing now?" Wang Zhuang asked.
Previously, they were all placed at Wang Yong's house. As a hunter, he had his own way of dealing with the prey, and then he would take it to the town to sell it. Now that Wang Yong is not here, no one will take over.
Wang Miaomiao thought for a moment and said, "Put these things at my house first."
"good!"
Everyone responded and carried the pile of prey, heading towards the Wang family. Along the way, the onlookers looked at the tiger and the other prey and discussed them non-stop, with laughter and playfulness, making the scene very lively.
After dropping off the prey at Wang's house, Wang Miaomiao went to find the pen and ink that Wang Yi used for school, wrote down the names of the group and the prey on the paper, and then let everyone disperse one by one.
There were some villagers standing outside the courtyard watching.
She didn't care. She stood up and stretched her body before closing the gate, cleaning off the dust on her body, and eating something.
CRACK——
The gate is closed.
Her mother, Mrs. Li, and her brother, Wang Yi, were not at home, so she was the only one at home. Blocked out from the noise outside, the yard was exceptionally quiet.
Wang Miaomiao fetched a basin of water and wiped it briefly.
Just then, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.
Boom! Boom!
Wang Miaomiao heard the sound and walked over to open the door.
CRACK——
"Brother Dayong, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Miaomiao opened the door and saw Wang Yong outside with blood on his body. Surprise flashed in her eyes and she quickly reached out to help him into the yard.
"The Arya barbarians are here to plunder. The village head has been captured by them. They'll probably be arriving in the village soon on horseback. Quickly tell everyone in the village to hide."
Wang Yong's body was unstable. As soon as he sat down, he held Wang Miaomiao's arm tightly and spoke in a weak but anxious voice.
"this……"
Wang Miaomiao frowned when she heard this.
The original owner didn't remember this happening. Was this a butterfly effect caused by her?!
Wang Miaomiao supported Wang Yong, pursed her lips and asked, "Brother Dayong, how many barbarians are there? Where are they going?"
Wang Yong's consciousness was a little hazy at this time. His cracked lips opened and closed as he muttered, "Barbarians... there is a group of people, a hundred miles outside the village..."
The words were vague, and Wang Miaomiao barely got some information. Her brows furrowed even more tightly. She helped Wang Yong, who was completely unconscious, to lie down on the bed in the room.
Then he got up and went out the door.
Wang Yong was seriously injured, so maybe she should see who sent him back.
A moment ago, the crowd outside the yard had already left. Wang Miaomiao walked out, looked around, and saw a few drops of blood and tire marks in front of the door.
She followed the wheel tracks a few steps forward and saw an ox cart in the distance.
Wang Miaomiao quickly chased after him and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest on the ox cart and Wang Shan driving the cart.
"Uncle, stop!" She ran to the front of the car and stopped it.
Wang Shan saw her standing in front of the cart and quickly stopped it. The cart jolted to a stop, and the Taoist priest sitting on it almost fell off. He cursed, "Who are you, little bastard, to stop the cart? You almost made me fall off. What do you want to do?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Shan quickly thanked him: "Master, this is my niece. She is young and naive. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with her."
Then he got out of the car and walked to Wang Miaomiao and said, "Erya, why are you here?"
Wang Miaomiao glanced at the Taoist priest in the car, lowered her eyelashes, and asked Wang Shan, "Uncle, I want to ask, were you the one who brought Brother Dayong back just now?"
"That kid... was rescued by the Taoist priest." Wang Shan glanced at the ox cart and said to her.
Upon hearing this, Wang Miaomiao walked straight over, bowed beside the car and said, "Master, I'm sorry to bother you."
The old Taoist narrowed his eyes at her and said, "Well, what's the matter with you stopping the carriage?"
"Master, you just saved someone. Can you tell me where you saved him?" she asked respectfully.
The Taoist stroked his beard upon hearing this, raised his eyes to look at her in surprise and said, "Why are you asking this? That place is not safe."
"My closest relative has been kidnapped. I want to go and rescue him. I hope the Taoist priest can tell me." Wang Miaomiao looked up at the Taoist priest and said truthfully.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest suddenly reached out towards her shoulder, but Wang Miaomiao dodged by turning sideways.
"You...eh..."
When the Taoist saw that his hand missed, he said half a sentence and turned it into an exclamation. He changed his gesture and stretched out several palms, each one aimed at Wang Miaomiao's shoulder.
Seeing that the Taoist priest's attack was a test and had no intention of killing, Wang Miaomiao reacted very quickly and dodged these moves by turning sideways.
The two exchanged a few blows during this time, and they were able to roughly understand each other's strength. The Taoist priest put away his previous contempt, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "My friend, you are quite skilled. Since you want to go, come with me."
"Master, where are we going?"
The ox cart started to move slowly. Wang Miaomiao got on the cart, sat opposite the Taoist priest and asked.
"As a Taoist priest, I will naturally deal with those barbarians and help you rescue your relatives." The Taoist priest had a smile on his face when he spoke, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his voice.
Wang Miaomiao nodded slightly after hearing this and did not ask any more questions, but she was thinking in her heart that this Taoist priest did not seem to be a simple person, but she did not know why he came to such a small mountain village.
The ox cart was not moving very fast. She saw it heading out of the village and was a little worried that it would get separated from the group of barbarians and bandits. She wanted to ask the Taoist priest beside her a few more questions.
Just at this moment, Wang Miaomiao heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar, accompanied by wailing voices and laughter.
The Taoist priest opposite her also looked up, obviously having heard the sound. He stroked his beard and said, "Stop the car, Che Jia, go hide over there."
Wang Shan, who was driving the ox cart, stopped when he heard this and turned around and said, "Master, are you asking me to go to the side and avoid it first?"
"Well, go to the side first." The Taoist said in a deep voice with a smile.
Wang Shan glanced at Wang Miaomiao who was sitting in the car. Seeing that she was sitting there motionless, he had to move away to a tree not far away with a worried look in his eyes.
"Here I come."
Listening to the increasingly clear sound of horse hooves, Wang Miaomiao spoke.
