"Crunch!"

Suddenly, in the forest behind, there was the sound of a dead branch being trampled off.

Mo Die immediately asked vigilantly, "Who is there?" ”

However, the silence in the forest had returned, and there was no sound.

Ink Butterfly frowned.

Tao Yao also looked in the direction of the forest.

They were very close to the woods, so she heard the sound just now.

"Mo Die, forget it, let's go back first." She thought for a moment and whispered.

"Okay." Mo Die answered, handed Shizi to Xi'er to hold, and she held the hilt of the sword in her hand, walked behind, protected a few people, and walked towards the front yard.

After returning to the front yard, Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of what happened to Fang Cai, his brows furrowed slightly.

The sound that came from the forest just now was obviously the sound of someone stepping on a dead branch.

If it was a subordinate of the village, he would have come out a long time ago, but the other party did not say anything, which means that he is not a subordinate of the village.

"Could it be that Zhuang Shang is a thief?" Xi'er hugged Shizi and said with some worry.

This morning, when Lu Guogong went out, he took most of the guards with him, if he really entered the thief, only these women were left in the village, I am afraid that there would be danger.

Tao Yao also thought so, but the matter was not clear, so it shouldn't be messed up.

After thinking about it, she reassured: "Don't worry, I'll let people go to the forest to check it out, and let people go back to the Gongfu Mansion and transfer some guards over." ”

"Madam, let my subordinates take someone to see it." Mo Die said.

Tao Yao thought that it was daytime, and there were thieves, and he was afraid that he would have to wait until it was dark before he acted, so he nodded, "It's okay." ”

Just in case, before Mo Die left, he arranged the accompanying family members and guards in front of the house to protect Tao Yao.

The whole house was full of people in front of and behind the house.

Tao Yao pushed open the window and looked at it, feeling a little relieved.

It's so close to the capital, there won't be such a bold thief.

At this moment, Xiao Lu Zhen suddenly cried.

Tao Yao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "This kid is hungry again." ”

When Xi'er heard this, she smiled and hugged Shizi to her.

As soon as he ate it, Xiao Lu Zhen stopped crying.

Tao Yao looked down at his little face with a satisfied look, and his heart was also very satisfied.

"Who?"

At this moment, a guard's shouting suddenly came from outside the door.

Immediately after, there were several loud "bang, bang, bang" sounds, like the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Tao Yao's face changed, "Xi'er, close the window quickly." ”

But it was too late, and a dark shadow had already swept in through the open window.

Xi'er screamed, lifted the stool and threw it at the visitor, and shouted for help, "Come on, the thief-"

"Poof!"

A sharp blade had been shot into her shoulder.

Her voice stopped abruptly, and the man fell.

Tao Yao was shocked, "Xi'er-"

"Give me the child, and I can spare you from dying." The person said coldly.

When Tao Yao heard this, he hugged his son tightly, "Don't think about it!" ”

The person snorted coldly, and suddenly made a swift move, grabbing the child in her arms.

Tao Yao held the child, decisively flashed to the side, and quickly rushed to the door, trying to open the door.

But the man came faster and had already grabbed her shoulder.

However, Tao Yao's reaction was also very fast, and he quickly grabbed the other party's hand and bit it hard.

The other party was in pain, raised his hand, and gave her a slap in the face, "Look for death!" ”

Tao Yao's whole person was fanned and fell to the ground.

But she still guards her son tightly.

The visitor, apparently enraged, lifted his foot and kicked at her.

But at this moment, the other leg of the visitor tightened, and something hugged him.

He looked down and saw that it was Xi'er.

She lay on the ground, covered in blood, but she clung to his legs.

"Don't hurt my wife and son, otherwise my father-in-law will not let you go when he comes back!" Xi'er endured the sharp pain in her shoulder and shouted loudly.

The person was stunned, "It's a loyal girl, it's a pity that ......"

His sleeve moved, and a sharp blade had already slipped into his hand.

Seeing this, Tao Yao screamed, "Don't hurt her!" ”

When the visitor heard this, he turned his head and looked at her with a smile, "I can not hurt her, but the premise is that you have to obediently hand over the child to me." ”

"Madam, leave me alone, you run!" Xi'er yelled, and with all her strength, she hugged the leg of the person who came and pulled it hard.

With a "bang", someone didn't expect her to have this strength, and she immediately fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Tao Yao no longer hesitated, and quickly opened the door and ran out.

However, as soon as she ran out of the door, she bumped into a person who was about to enter the door.

Looking at each other, both of them were stunned.

Tao Yao was the first to come back to his senses, glaring at the other party angrily, "Rong Niang! How did you end up here? ”

The person who came was Rong Niang.

After glancing at Tao Yao with complicated eyes, she stretched out her hand to her, "Give me the child." ”

"Don't think!" Tao Yao shook his head and moved to the side, trying to escape from the side, but was informed by Rong Niang.

A long sword, horizontal in front of her, blocked her way.

"Give me the child, I don't want to kill you."

Tao Yao looked at her mockingly, "He's still a child, what do you want him to do?" ”

When Rong Niang heard this, she said coldly: "Lu Jiuyuan has harmed me like this, I want his son to pay it back, isn't it an exaggeration?" Isn't there something to say, "Fathers pay debts to sons?" ”

"You're crazy!" Tao Yao looked at her in disbelief, "You have today, you are all to blame, and you can't blame others." You still want my son to pay it back, and you are still not human? ”

"Even if I'm crazy, so what? I can have today because of him Lu Jiuyuan. Tao Yao, you are my daughter, I don't want to kill you, give me the child quickly, otherwise I will kill you together! Rong Niang patiently told the chime, her eyes red and crazy.

Seeing this, Tao Yao forced himself to calm down.

The other party is already crazy, at this time, it is not appropriate to be stimulated again, otherwise I am afraid that everything will be done.

Thinking about it, she slowed down her voice and said: "Rong Niang, I am very grateful to you for giving birth to me, even if you are born but not raised, I don't blame you, this child, this child is also going to call you grandmother, you can't bear to hurt him?" ”

Sure enough, when Rong Niang heard this, her expression suddenly changed, and her eyes fell on Xiao Lu Zhen in her arms, "Yes, he is my grandson......"

"Yes, he's your only grandson, you can't hurt him." Tao Yao continued, trying to stop her with family affection.

"What grandson? I don't recognize him, he is Lu Jiuyuan's son, he is a sinister seed, I want to kill him, let Lu Jiuyuan repent of not being at the beginning, and suffer for a lifetime! Rong Niang suddenly shouted hysterically.

Tao Yao was startled, seeing her rushing towards her, she was just about to run, when suddenly there was a "boom", an arrow broke through the air, and then with a "poof", it shot into the position of Rong Niang's heart.

Suddenly, something warm splashed on her face.

She raised her hand and wiped it, and her hands were covered in blood.
