The carriage galloped all the way, gradually moving away from the bustle and heading towards the countryside.

It was getting dark, and it seemed like there were black clouds overhead.

If you can't see the sun, you can't tell the time, and when you meet this kind of sky, you feel like it's dusk.

Jiang Saburo drove the carriage, and the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong.

This road is an official road, and it is a New Year's pass, and it is impossible to rush for half a day, and no one can meet it.

But it's not appropriate to go back now.

"Erquan, take the machete and ask your younger brothers and sisters not to lift the curtain." Jiang Saburo said.

There was an undulating ramp ahead, and every time the carriage passed, it had to slow down, and sometimes you had to get out of the car and push it to get up.

When Jiang Quan heard the third uncle say this, he immediately became vigilant and quickly pulled out a machete from under the car board.

This was specially prepared by him for self-defense, and it never came in handy.

I hope I don't need it this time.

Sakura also realized that something was wrong, and in order to reduce the weight of the car, he quietly collected some apples and melons from the bamboo basket and put them into the cave.

Jiang Yunniang also became nervous, pushed her children into the car, and hid behind herself.

The carriage descended a steep slope, and on the way up, it was suddenly blocked by a barrier made of small stones.

The rocks are not big, and you can't see them clearly from a distance, but if you encounter them uphill, the wooden wheels are blocked by such small stones, and you will definitely not be able to go up.

If you punch hard, you might be able to break the wheels.

Jiang Saburo slowly stopped the car, looked left and right, jumped out of the car, and went to clean up those small stones.

At this moment, several figures suddenly came out of the bushes in the distance, they were four men and one woman, rushing towards Jiang Saburo with sticks.

"Leave the money to buy the road!" The men screamed and rushed this way.

Jiang Saburo immediately retreated to the side of the carriage, took the machete from the second nephew, pointed at the person who came, and shouted, "What person! Back off! ”

Jiang Yunniang was almost screaming, and hurriedly groped around, trying to find a self-defense weapon.

Xiao Hei also barked loudly, trying to jump out of the carriage over and over again.

Sakura quickly pacified it, immediately stuffed a sickle in her aunt's hand, and handed it to her second cousin.

Before the battle began, Xiao Hei could not get out of the car, there were five robbers, and they all had various weapons in their hands.

There were sticks, hoes, chisels, etc., and one of them was holding a sharp-edged sickle.

It's three to five now, and even if Xiao Hei helps on his side, it is estimated that he has no chance of winning.

Sakura took out a small cowhide slingshot, took out a stone and pinched it in his hand.

She guessed that there must be more than five robbers, and that there must be someone hiding behind the bushes.

So she had to keep an eye on what was going on over there.

Several robbers rushed forward, their eyes roaming over the horses, showing greed.

"Leave the carriage! Let you live! The leader shouted.

Jiang Saburo frowned and thought about it, his gaze swept over a few people, and then glanced at the bushes.

If these kidnappers really only want money, for the sake of their children, it is not impossible to leave the carriage.

But if these people don't talk much, and they lose their carriages, won't the family be slaughtered in this wilderness?

"I can give you all the money, but the carriage will not work, we still have a long way to go, and we can't live without it." Jiang Saburo looked at the five people in front of him vigilantly, clenching the machete as he spoke.

Hearing what his father said, Ying Bao gritted his teeth, took out several strings of copper coins, handed them to Jiang Quan, and said in a low voice: "Throw it backwards, throw it away!" ”

Jiang Quan understood, took the copper coin, and threw it to the side of the road behind.

Several people's eyes looked at the copper coin, but they didn't move, and the leading man sneered: "Lao Tzu wants you to get out of the car!" Get out of the way! Do you hear that? Otherwise, you're welcome! ”

Hongxiao and Xiaolang in the car were already scared to cry, and twelve-year-old Zhang Yuying was also trembling.

Jiang Saburo didn't speak, only looked at the other party vigilantly.

All five of them were in tattered clothes, and two of them were still wearing straw sandals, and in such cold weather, they could be dressed like this, either refugees who had fled or a group of outlaws.

No matter what kind of person you encounter, as long as you encounter it, you can't get out of it.

Jiang Saburo suddenly spoke: "Enlarge the black!" ”

Sakura immediately understood what Daddy meant, and immediately let go of the rope around Xiao Hei's neck and patted it: "Go bite the bad guy!" ”

I saw Xiao Hei swooping out, roaring and rushing towards the five robbers.

At the same time, Jiang Saburo rushed towards the robbers with a machete and shouted, "Hurry up!" ”

Jiang Quan already understood what the third uncle meant, so he jumped out of the carriage and ran to the front to clean the road.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunniang also jumped down and held a sickle to help the third brother.

Sakura got on the wheel, shook the reins, and drove the cart forward.

Suddenly there was a lot less weight on the car, and the big horse pulled up very easily, and soon the car drove up the slope.

At this time, Jiang Quan had already kicked the stones on the road away, and then rushed back, rushing towards the robbers with a sickle, fighting side by side with the third uncle.

But out of the bushes rushed out of the two female robbers, brandished sticks and hit Xiao Hei, and beat Xiao Hei to a scream.

Jiang Saburo was obviously outnumbered, even if he had a machete in his hand, it could only deter for a while.

On the side of the carriage, two more young robbers suddenly sprang out of the bushes and rushed towards Sakura.

They had sticks in their hands and smashed them down.

A bamboo basket suddenly appeared in Sakura's hand, just to block the heavy blow of the stick.

The young robber was startled by the sudden turn of events, and before he could react, he was hit in the face by something.

"Ahhh

The other young man looked fierce, and he was ruthless and shot at Sakura Bao with another stick.

However, Sakura had already rushed to him, grabbed him by the hair, and slammed him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Then he strangled his neck, pressed the thin dagger in his hand against his neck, and shouted: "Tell them to stop!" Otherwise it will kill you! ”

She was sure that these two teenagers were the biological sons of one of the few people down the slope, so as long as she restrained him, she could force those people back.

Sure enough, several adult robbers were shocked by this change and hurriedly dragged their injured bodies back. One of them shouted, "Stop! If you dare to kill him! I'm going to destroy your whole family!" ”

Sakura Po didn't show weakness either, and said loudly: "Let's leave safely!" Just let him go! Otherwise, we will die and the net will be broken! ”

The leading robber was unwilling, but he could only grit his teeth and say, "Okay! Let you go! But you have to let him go right away! ”

"Let us go first, I swear to spare his life!" Sakura placed the thin-bladed dagger in her hand against the large vein around the boy's neck.

The boy felt embarrassed and wanted to struggle to resist, but as soon as he moved, there was a stinging pain in his neck, and wisps of blood flowed out.

Sakura Bao said in a low voice: "I advise you not to move, it doesn't matter if you die, your younger brothers and sisters hiding in the grass can't escape!" Remember! If one of my family dies, none of you little bolds will want to live! Believe it or not, before I die, I will definitely send you to the western heavens. ”

In the grass not far from them, several children of a few years old were crying quietly, apparently the children of the robbers.

One of the girls cried the most when she saw Sakura Bao restraining the boy, presumably the boy's own sister.

The young man really didn't move, but his eyes were full of murderous aura.

It's just that he can't see the face of the female doll, because the female doll strangled his neck from behind and pressed her knees against his spine.

The young man was half lying on the ground, still with a hard mouth: "If you dare to touch my younger brothers and sisters, I won't let you go if I am a ghost!" ”
