For the sake of her own safety, Wang Shiyu never turned on a light at night during the journey. In the carriage, she usually went to bed at sunset and got up at sunrise. No matter what happened, she would not be anxious, but remained calm. Even if she encountered a robber, she would suppress it so that Zhou Qingyun would not make any sound. Even if someone deliberately tested them, Wang Shiyu did not say a word.
Just when they were resting in the village, Wang Shiyu suddenly heard the sound of a door opening outside, followed by some messy footsteps entering the yard, but the person who came out must be very cautious and dared not make a sound.
Looking at Zhou Qingyun who was sleeping soundly, she was speechless. This child was too careless. She was worried that the sound of her getting up would be heard by people outside, so she just lay there with her eyes open listening to the footsteps outside. She didn't know whether these people were here to make money or to kill her. She hoped that they were not here for this little fool who was sleeping soundly.
It was a bit strange, actually. Where were the guards from the escort agency? Why didn't they show up to allow people to easily enter the yard?
Wang Shiyu was not interested in these things. She just wanted to know what the relationship was between Master Xie and the village chief. Not only could he easily borrow such a large yard, but he could also let strangers come in directly. Was he planning to rob others?
Hearing the sound of the wooden box tied to the carriage at the back being opened, Wang Shiyu finally couldn't help but sit up. However, because there was thick fur underneath her body and she was light in weight, there was no sound at all when she stood up.
"Wow, Boss, this family is quite wealthy. These clothes are made of silk and satin, they are quite expensive. Come on, do you have any money?"
"Look, there's some refined rice here, which is something you can't buy now. There's also millet. Boss, can I take some back to give my wife some nourishment? My child hasn't had breast milk since birth, and I heard millet is very nutritious."
Just as she had just gotten up and was still thinking, a very small voice came from the back of the carriage. It seemed that someone was here to ask for money, but they didn't put any money in the box. There were only some food and daily necessities in it, and nothing else. Master Xie should know all about it, so how could he join forces with others to seek money?
"Who?"
Just when Wang Shiyu was still thinking about whether to speak out, the people from the escort agency who were on guard suddenly spoke out. They were probably awakened. They probably fell asleep just now. After all, this was a place recommended by Master Xie’s friend, and they were very reassured, so they didn’t pay attention to the situation outside.
The moment the escort agency's men shouted, Master Xie, who was resting in the house, and his men came out with torches and weapons, bringing a ray of light into the previously dark courtyard. Wang Shiyu adjusted her curtains in the darkness.
Through the cracks in the wood, he looked at the people outside who came to steal things. They didn't look like villagers. They were dressed in cotton shorts, which seemed to be made like this on purpose. They didn't seem to be people who were short of money. However, this person had a very deep scar from his forehead to the corner of his eye, which looked like he was scratched by a sharp weapon. There was also some evil aura on him, as if he had seen blood.
They looked like some extremely vicious people, but their carriage had just entered the village two hours ago when these people came over. It seemed that this village was not clean. If there was no one leading the way, Wang Shiyu would not believe it even if she was beaten to death. There must be someone leading the way.
After Master Xie came out with a knife, he saw the clothes of these people and the knives in their hands, and he knew that these people were definitely bandits from the vicinity, and they might be colluding with the people in the village. As soon as they arrived, someone went to the mountain to report the news, otherwise they would not have come so quickly.
Looking at the food and clothes these people were carrying, he knew that this matter would not end well. It was estimated that only one team could walk out of this door.
Thinking of this, he did not continue to engage in verbal battle with these people, but rushed up with his sword. Seeing this, Wang Shiyu was no longer curious, but just let down the curtain. Turning around, she saw Zhou Qingyun staring at her with big eyes, looking at her strangely. He was probably woken up by the noise outside, but he was afraid of making noise and being discovered, so he could only lie there quietly.
He seemed to be confused as to why Wang Shiyu was not afraid at all in the face of the shouting and killing outside. She was even in the mood to watch for a while, and her facial expression did not change. He suddenly remembered that when the landmine exploded before, there was no expression on her face. It was really amazing.
You have to know that the first time he encountered this situation, he was so scared that he didn't dare to close his eyes for two nights, because as soon as he closed his eyes, he could remember the dead killers, which scared him a lot. Later, it was Uncle An Er who knocked him out, and he fell asleep. During that time, he was so scared that he would wake up in his dreams.
Wang Shiyu had no intention of explaining to the little brat, but slowly lay down again, covered with a thin blanket and continued to rest with her eyes closed, listening to the sound of swords fighting outside. She didn't seem to worry at all that Master Xie would fail. You know, Master Xie's martial arts is ranked first in Wucheng. This reputation was definitely earned through real swords and guns, and he could never be defeated by a small bandit.
It seemed that the blood-splattering scene outside did not leave any trace in her heart. You know, Wang Shiyu was on the dark web in her previous life, where she encountered all kinds of monsters and demons, and even saw real gunfire and hail of bullets. She even witnessed the sinking of an island with her own eyes.
