The donkey cart then stopped.
"Mother, we've encountered robbers, what should we do?" Tian Shu asked anxiously, his hand gripping the reins trembling slightly, ready to answer his mother's instructions from inside the carriage: rush forward or turn back?
Wow, is this bad luck? I've been hearing a lot about the world being in chaos and unrest these days, but I never imagined it would be this chaotic.
Although she was quite nervous, she was the oldest of the eight people in the carriage, and the seven younger ones still called her "Mother." She couldn't show her fear, and she certainly couldn't hide in the carriage—hiding wouldn't help anyway.
He placed his hand on the hilt of the sword. He wasn't sure if he could use this thing, but he was sure he could throw stones. If all else failed, he could just treat the robbers like wild game.
Besides, it's not like I haven't beaten people before. Didn't that guy named Fu Gang suffer a loss at my hands?
With that thought, Hong Xiaoduo's confidence immediately soared.
"Don't be afraid, stay in the car and don't get out." After reassuring the children in the car, I got off.
She had considered throwing stones at the person blocking the road from the car, then having Tian Shu drive the car over. But what about the many other unforeseen possibilities?
For example, how many accomplices are there in the robbery? Do they have horses? If they do, how can a donkey cart outrun a horse-drawn cart? If the donkey gets frightened, the children on the cart will also be in danger!
When Tian Shu saw her get down, he also jumped off the carriage shaft and nervously looked to both sides.
Hong Xiaoduo was also watching. There were people blocking both ends of the road, and both of them were holding knives. She couldn't tell if they were martial arts practitioners.
Are there only two people? Hong Xiaoduo looked around again and saw another masked man holding a large knife walk out of the woods.
Of the three, this one looks the fiercest and is the last to appear. Could this be their leader?
"Big brother, it's a woman, and she's quite pretty. How about we kidnap her and make her your bandit queen?" The bald man looked at Hong Xiaoduo, swallowed hard, and shouted to the leader.
"Brother, the young man driving the carriage is quite handsome. He can fetch a good price. There seem to be other people on the carriage as well." Qu Ba was also quite excited. Although the young woman had a sword at her waist, his brother's skills would definitely make dealing with her easy.
The eldest brother thought Hong Xiaoduo was indeed beautiful. Based on his experience, he judged that although she carried a sword at her waist, it was just for show or to intimidate. In any case, he did not realize that she was a martial artist.
"You, go check inside the car. Kill anyone who resists," the leader ordered, also warning Hong Xiaoduo and the people in the car.
The bald man agreed, picked up his knife, and headed towards the donkey cart...
