If Bian Wu left on his own, then she would have nothing to say, but he was kidnapped, even if it was his parents, that was not right.
After returning home, Song Yuehua asked Pei Feng to harness the ox cart, while she went to the school to say hello to Madam Xia.
"Miss, how can you go alone? Why not ask Master Duan for help?" said Madam Xia.
Mr. Duan should be teaching in Dongshan now. Song Yuehua thought about it and shook her head, "No need. I'll take Pei Feng with me."
Wei Da has to guard the You Mansion for the time being, and Hou Wu may bring people to look at the house at any time. With the title of Shuang Tongsheng, Song Yuehua really plans to sell it for 500 taels.
The only person who can be taken away now is Pei Feng.
After returning home, Song Yuehua took the bow and arrow from home and put two daggers on her waist, just to be prepared.
When Pei Feng drove the ox cart over, Song Yuehua sat on the back frame and asked him to go to the county town first.
Song Yuehua muttered to herself, hoping to catch up in the county town.
Bian Zhong had made some preparations some time ago. The journey to Yunmeng Island is long. There are three people in the Bian family, and both the father and the son are not good fighters.
Therefore, it is very likely that Bian Zhong contacted a trading company or hired a bodyguard to accompany him.
After Song Yuehua entered the county town, she asked an old carriage dealer and learned that they had to go through the south gate to go to Yunmengzhou, so the two of them ran to the guard at the south gate to ask.
After learning that a merchant had indeed left not long ago, the two men drove their ox carts directly after them. However, there was only one official road, and the ox carts ran for a long time without catching up.
Song Yuehua was a little anxious, "Let's go faster."
"Girl, this is a cow. It can never be faster than a horse-drawn carriage." Pei Feng said helplessly.
Their ox cart only carried two people, but the merchant's horse-drawn carriage carried a lot of goods. Song Yuehua thought she could catch up, but now she regretted not renting a carriage.
The ox cart had been on the road for more than two hours when they finally heard voices ahead. After listening carefully, they felt something was wrong. Song Yuehua asked Pei Feng to hide the ox cart first while she went ahead to explore the road.
Song Yuehua hid in the long grass beside the road and saw a group of people carrying big swords pulling the goods on the carriage towards the small road.
The people from the original trading company were either dead or injured. It seemed that the fighting here was very serious. Even a horse was killed. The goods were scattered all over the ground. The rest of the people were squatting in the corner with their heads in their hands, shivering.
The bandits were divided into two groups, one group packed up the goods, and the other group guarded the squatting group.
Song Yuehua had good eyesight and found Bian Wu’s family of three among the group of people squatting.
Although I am glad that they are all still alive, the current situation is too bad.
Just as Song Yuehua was racking her brains, the bandit guarding the place became impatient and shouted, "Third brother, why do you keep these rubbish? Isn't it better to chop them up?"
The third one turned around, looked at the squatting man, snorted and laughed, "Leave the woman alone, and chop the man off."
There were cries for mercy from the crowd.
When the man chopped a person alive like chopping a melon, Song Yuehua suddenly drew out the bow and arrow and aimed at the man, with her emotions and reason struggling wildly in her heart.
As long as she released the arrow, she would be discovered, but she could not bear to watch Bian Wu being hacked to death in front of her eyes.
"Sister, you have to aim at the man in the black coat."
A child's voice sounded behind her. Song Yuehua turned around suddenly and saw a little boy in red clothes with his hands behind his back, pointing at the man called Lao San.
Song Yuehua stepped back cautiously, and the red-clothed boy smiled and shushed her, "Keep your voice down, don't let those bad guys hear you."
Song Yuehua: "..." This kid is so suspicious.
"Now everyone is relying on the man in the black coat for command. If you just shoot him to death, the crowd here will be leaderless and those people can be saved." The little boy in red said very logically.
When Song Yuehua turned around, the crowd was indeed in chaos. Some were running away in panic, while others were resisting. The group of bandits carrying big swords were chasing each other like a cat fighting a mouse, while they were chopping people with laughter, and they seemed to be enjoying it.
"Hurry up, or everyone will die." The voice of a little boy sounded faintly behind him.
Song Yuehua looked nervous and sweating profusely until a man swung a big knife towards Bian Wu. An arrow pierced the forearm of the man wielding the knife, and the knife fell, and the man screamed.
“Someone!”
The leader in black jacket shouted, and everyone looked in the direction of the arrow.
The little boy in red had already pulled Song Yuehua away, complaining as he ran, "I told you to shoot the guy in the black coat, but you didn't. Now you can't even save yourself."
Song Yuehua turned around and saw that the group of people had discovered them.
The little boy in red didn't run away either.
Song Yuehua drew out three arrows and pointed them at the man in black coat, saying, "Don't move. If I let go, you will be dead."
"Young lady, you are too arrogant." The man in the black coat smiled maliciously, showing his yellow teeth.
Song Yuehua said, "Then you give it a try. I will shoot you in the hair on the count of three. See if you can dodge it."
"Okay, grandpa will play with you today!" The man in the black coat put the big knife on the ground and said jokingly.
"three!"
"two!"
Song Yuehua suddenly turned around and shot an arrow towards the upper right. Almost a moment later, Song Yuehua immediately turned the arrow around and shot another arrow towards the direction of the black coat.
The first arrow collided with another oncoming long arrow in mid-air and fell down. The man in the black coat remembered that he had clearly dodged it, but when he looked up, he saw an arrow stuck in his hair.
The man in black coat was completely convinced.
Song Yuehua took aim again and said, "How is it? Can you listen to me?"
"You say." The man in the black coat tightened his grip on the long knife. Suddenly, a whistle sounded in the distance, and the man in the black coat loosened his grip on the knife.
Song Yuehua said, "I want the family of three behind you."
"Which three?" asked the man in the black coat.
Song Yuehua shouted, "Bian Zhong, come here!"
The three members of the Bian family stood up. Bian Zhong and Bian Wu supported Bian Yunniang and walked over carefully.
The man came over, and the man in the black coat said with a smile, "Little girl, you don't think you can escape."
Song Yuehua didn't say anything, she just said to Bian Wudao, "There are people behind us, you go first."
"No, what will you do if we leave?" Bian Wu said excitedly.
"You can't help here, and you've just sacrificed your life in vain. Hurry up and leave. As many people as can survive are the best." Song Yuehua gritted her teeth and said, "Take good care of Xiaobao, Dabao and Xiaoyu for me."
Bian Zhong stepped forward and wanted to say something, "Miss Song..."
"Hurry up!"
Bian Zhong pulled Bian Wu away.
The man in the black coat laughed and said, "You saved someone, but they ignored you and you ran away. What did you want?"
"They are just a group of insignificant people to you, so how about treating them as dead?" Song Yuehua asked.
The man in the black coat sighed heavily, narrowed his eyes and smiled viciously, "You can't run away, not a single one of you can run away."
The little boy in red behind him also said, "Sister, he is right, those people can't get away."
