Chapter 51 Attack at Night
Hong Xiaoduo doesn’t know whether she will be in danger tonight, but one thing is clear to her, that is, no matter where this old man comes from, he is on the road. After walking for so long, they must not have encountered any danger.
Otherwise, the old man would never invite himself to go with his children.
Although they had just met each other, she was certain that the old man's character was indistinguishable.
According to her observation, his accompanying guards were extremely vigilant and on guard. What should I say? Even the guards thought that the old man would be in danger, but the old man didn't know it.
As for their trip, even if there were robbers along the way, they would not come out to seek death.
However, if someone really comes out to cause trouble, it is definitely not someone who steals money.
While she was thinking, the guard in front suddenly blew a whistle to warn. The next moment, a wave of men in black emerged from the forest nearby, and several of them lit the torches in their hands.
“Mother?” Tianshu hadn’t slept and asked in a low voice when he heard the movement.
"No need to come out, stay inside and watch your younger brothers and sisters." Hong Xiaoduo also whispered.
Tianshu agreed. He put on his shoes and prepared nervously. He figured out that although he couldn't help with anything else, he could drive the car.
However, he dared not disobey her.
The older ones in Tianquan and Tianji were also awakened, and Tianshu whispered to them not to make any sound.
Outside, Hong Xiaoduo held the whip with one hand, untied the bag of stones at his waist with the other hand, and touched the sword casually.
Looking ahead, some of the guards were already facing outside to protect the carriage, and some were ready to fight.
"No matter who sent you, I urge you to retreat quickly. Don't try to help others do evil without distinguishing between good and evil." The leader of the guards pointed a knife at the other person and warned loudly.
Hong Xiaoduo heard clearly from behind and said to himself, look, I guess I guessed something. If you don't declare your home to scare the other party, then you understand the other party's purpose.
"Young master, what are you talking about here, good or evil? We will use money and money to eliminate disasters for others. I would like to advise you all, we only want the head of the man in the carriage, and as long as you are sensible and get out of the way. , I promise that my brothers will never make things difficult for you." The person on the other side responded loudly and arrogantly.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded slightly. There should be more than thirty people on the other side. She didn't know if there were still others in the woods or invisible places.
At this time, it was impossible for her to say that she was not nervous.
No matter what kind of troubled times this is, is it reasonable for her to slowly adapt to it?
Last time there were three robbers, this time five, seven or eight would be fine, directly dozens? Isn’t the quantitative change a bit exaggerated? Do you think she has adapted well to this kind of situation?
What about next time, a hundred-man battle?
Hong Xiaoduo complained in his heart, feeling like he was sweating on his forehead and body.
I saw those two groups of people chatting and talking without delaying their steps at all, and they started to exchange hands while talking.
The swords struck each other, clanging and crackling, and sparks faintly bursting out.
At this time, the three guards who were originally behind the donkey cart approached. Looking at the situation in front, they were very anxious. They looked at Hong Xiaoduo several times with resentment in their eyes.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not your enemy, and I didn't ask you to protect us. Go and protect your adults." Hong Xiaoduo spoke. Her words were a bit harsh, but it wasn't because of her emotions, it was because the fighting was too intense.
It can be seen that this group of men in black have a high level of force.
She didn't want anything to happen to the old man. The guards were supposed to protect him.
"But, my family's life..." A guard hesitated.
"Those people are here for the lives of your adults. If you delay any longer, your adults' lives will be at risk." Hong Xiaoduo was also a little anxious.
"A Dian, you stay and protect them." The hesitant person said to a companion.
The one who called A Dian was very dissatisfied: "Why did you keep me?"
"Okay, okay, no one needs to stay. If your people don't stay here, maybe we won't be in danger yet." Hong Xiaoduo became even more anxious when he saw their ink marks.
This is a bit unpleasant to say.
The expressions the three guards looked at her were even more ugly. They have no conscience. Sir, you kindly asked us to protect you. It’s okay if you don’t appreciate it, but you still said such hurtful words?
Now that it was over, the three of them glared at Hong Xiaoduo fiercely, urged their horses and ran forward.
Hong Xiaoduo thought of something, and immediately put out the lantern hanging in front of the carriage, took a handful of stones in his hand, and stared around him alertly.
The old man had more than twenty guards. It was not her turn to help, and she could not leave her seven children alone.
She felt that she had done what she should do without occupying the old man's bodyguard.
In order not to attract the attention of the man in black, she led the donkey cart slowly back a certain distance.
It’s not that she didn’t consider changing her direction to stay away from this dangerous place, but she wasn’t sure whether it was the right decision or not. Was the direction she was coming from safe?
Just because they are determined to win against the men in black, wouldn’t they have arranged for someone to cut off the old man’s retreat?
The danger in the forest is even more unknown, so for now, she can only take the children to stop at this location.
"Mother?" Yao Guang, who had just been awakened by the sound of killing in the carriage, timidly called out while suppressing her cries.
"I'm here, don't be afraid, just listen to your brothers and sisters." Hong Xiaoduo responded softly.
Yao Guang's voice made Hong Xiaoduo's nervous and anxious heart suddenly calm down. Are you panicking? Afraid of Shenma? Be confident, children still need their own protection!
The situation ahead was obviously too much for the man in black because of the addition of the three guards who had just passed by.
Vaguely seeing an injured guard falling off his horse, Hong Xiaoduo wanted to throw stones to help, but he was afraid of attracting the attention of the man in black and drawing him here. She was already feeling guilty and self-blame for taking these seven children and not preventing them from being frightened. She would not be able to forgive herself if any of them were hurt again.
The men in black were killed one after another, and the distance from the carriage was getting farther and farther. The leader saw that something was wrong and blew a whistle.
You can't beat me. Are you starting to shake people? Hong Xiaoduo guessed as he listened to the sound of the whistle.
Suddenly she felt something moving behind her. Before she could go around to the back to take a look, she heard the other party say: "Hey, look, old man, there are several children in this donkey cart. Let's just grab one or two." Well, doesn’t that old-fashioned man named Wei think that what he does is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of his heart, and worthy of the people?
Let’s see if he really does that. It can be done.”
Hong Xiaoduo heard clearly that they wanted to capture the child and threaten the old man...
