From Yangzhou out of the city to Zhuangzi more than 50 miles away, the Qin family sat in an ox cart and could only arrive when it was dark.

There were two ox carts, one car was sitting for the Qin family of five, the other was loaded with goods, and Jasmine and two other maids and daughters-in-law were sitting with them, and Ah Cheng and Gardenia, who were serious in the old city, stayed in Yangzhou to guard the house.

It was overcast and raining in the afternoon.

Except for Li Kang, who had never been far away, who was very lively and chattered with Li Kun to ask this and that, Qin Nuan's mother and daughter and Li Qingyi were very silent.

An hour later, the lively Li Kang was finally shaken sleepy by the shaking ox cart and fell asleep in Li Kun's arms.

The only thing left between heaven and earth seemed to be the sound of raindrops falling on the roof of the car and the sound of the wheels of the car.

Li Qingyi, who is bored, is bored, the car curtain around her has been hanging since she was far away from Yangzhou City, and she no longer needs to be required by the rules of behavior of a lady.

There are very few pedestrians on the road, and there are almost no people on most of the road.

"I remember that the yellow calendar said that it was not appropriate to go out today......! Hmph!" she threw a small knife from her eyes again and slashed at Qin Nuan.

Qin Nuan closed her eyes and ignored her provocation.

After walking for more than half the way, the rain finally stopped, and the old man who was driving the car breathed a sigh of relief, took off his hat and heavy coat, and hummed a small tune while driving the car.

Suddenly, the little tune of the old man stopped abruptly, let out a miserable scream, and fell out of the car with a "plop"!

He was still holding the reins of the ox in his hand, and the nose of the ox pulling the cart was pulled by this, "Moo-" let out a cry of pain, and immediately stopped walking.

The body still slid forward due to inertia and hit the cow, the old cow stumbled, and several people in the car also fell to the ground, a mess!

Li Kun, as the only adult man, shouted "What's the matter?" while lifting the curtain and jumping out of the car—and then several people in the carriage heard Li Kun let out a terrible exclamation: "Ahh

In the carriage, the Qin family was half-lying on his stomach to hug Li Kang, who was crying, and was so frightened by this cry that he shuddered, and fell on the floor of the carriage with Li Kang.

Qin Nuan just propped up his body, covered his head, was startled, and immediately turned to one side, jumped out of the car with his skirt in his hand!

The old man who was driving the car was lying in the mud on the side of the road, with a long feathered arrow stuck in his chest!

He covered his wounds, blood was annihilating from his fingers, his face was painfully distorted, his mouth was open, but he couldn't even moan, he was already out of breath and less in breath, and he could see that life was disappearing.

It was the first time Qin Nuan faced a bloody death like this, and his head was blank for a while, and he was stunned!

However, after Li Kun got over the initial fright, he reacted, dragged his daughter behind him with his backhand, and said urgently: "What are you doing when you come down!" while looking around in horror.

After all, Li Kun has seen a lot of strong winds and waves, although he is frightened and afraid, he is not flustered, while looking around, he pushed Qin Nuan into the car, and scolded in a low voice: "Go in quickly!"

Qin Nuan came back to his senses and immediately judged the current situation, and instead of obediently retreating into the car, he asked, "Is it a bandit?"

"I'm afraid not!" Li Kun glanced at the feather arrow on his chest that was old enough to turn his head, and countless conjectures had already turned in his head.

There is no idle wasteland within a hundred miles around this Yangzhou City, which county or village, small town is not thriving and prosperous, although there are traitors and thieves, but there will never be such a bandit who openly cuts the path in broad daylight, and can also use a bow and arrow, and the head is so good, it can only be an organized killer.

This place happens to be a rare slightly remote place, the road is lined with hillsides, and it also happens to be located at the turn of the arc, the front and back left and right lines of sight are not transparent, although the slopes on both sides are not barren mountains and forests, they are neatly planted with tea trees, but this kind of late autumn rainy weather, how can there be people in the tea garden? There are not even birds and rabbits that come out to wander around and forage!

Li Qingyi's trembling voice came from inside the car: "Grandpa, is there anyone who refuses to let us go......?"

Can you escape?

Li Kun was silent.

The opponent has a bow and arrow, as long as someone sits on it to catch the car, they will definitely be shot!

The reason why the other party has not yet shown up is deliberate! It makes them even more flustered, more frightened, and more helpless......

Qin Nuan immediately thought of the death of his grandmother Jing Compassion Immortal Gu!

I'm afraid it's still those guys!

They can't do it in Yangzhou City, but now they are thirty or forty miles away from Yangzhou, and they are in the wilderness, just right!

As soon as she thought of this, she almost raised her hand to touch the jade ring on her chest in a nervous state, but fortunately she stopped, and her hand was halfway up and grabbed Li Kun's sleeve.

"Don't be afraid!" Li Kun didn't look back, and pushed her with his backhand again, letting her get into the car, although Li Kun's own voice was also a little trembling.

Qin Nuan's eyes were hot, tears came out, and he took out a small dagger from his sleeve and quietly stuffed it into Li Kun's palm.

After Li Kun held the thing in his hand, he was surprised and delighted, and he didn't look back: "How can you carry this thing with you?"

Qin Nuan has been hiding this kind of little thing on her body since she became a female crown, she has more than this one, she remembers a sentence: people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries! Under the hidden dangers, no one knows what accidents will happen one day!

"Grandpa, this is not for desperate efforts, we can't beat them, you hide first!" Qin Nuan said in a low voice.

Li Kun immediately understood what his daughter meant, a small dagger a few inches long and half an inch wide and thin, it was impossible to fight, so he could only hide it first, and then use it to cut the rope to escape or use it to sneak attack by surprise.

Behind them, Li Qingyi was lying behind the curtain of the car and looking out tremblingly, and Qin was hugging Li Kang in the car and crying

Qin Nuan suddenly stepped sideways out from behind Li Kun, took a step forward and reached out to pat the cow's buttocks, and the cow pulling the cart roared "moo-" and ran wildly!

The bend between the hillside was not long, and the wild ox cart quickly turned around and disappeared from sight, only the screams of Li Qingyi and Qin remained in his ears......

Li Kun exclaimed: "Ah Nuan!"

Qin Nuan wiped a handful of tears, and leaned over to Li Kun's side again, revealing a hairpin on his hand, which was still stained with ox blood!

It would be impossible for the five of them to escape with their whole body, so they could only let the Qin family and Li Kang escape first, even if they would be injured a little! Bypassing this small hillside, there was another flat and fertile field, open and unobstructed, those people did not dare to chase after them again, and besides, didn't she and Li Kun still stay here!

Li Kun burst into tears, his lips trembled, but he couldn't speak.

The prey in the bag has undergone such a change, so that the people in the shadows no longer calmly play psychological warfare and come out.

Four men in black, masked in black scarves, holding bright horizontal knives in their hands, two on the left and two on the right.

Qin Nuan tugged at Li Kun's sleeve, she wanted to stop the trembling of her body, but she heard the sound of her upper and lower teeth bumping.

There was silence all around, and there was no sound from the few maids hiding in the ox cart behind, except for the sound of the feet of the four men in black stepping on the dead grass.
