"Their parents are really too much. Their children are wandering outside, why didn't they send someone to look for them? Sigh, they're really open-minded! " The old woman picked up the vegetables she had chosen and said, "I'm going to cook. There's soup inside. It's just right to nourish the children's bodies."
The next day, before dawn, several men were busy at the village gate, folding bundles of firewood and putting them on the donkey cart. Hao 'er and the other two watched from the side. A man next to them smiled and said, "Village chief, why do you want to go to the town? If you want to buy anything, just let us know. We can buy it back! You don't have to run back and forth like this. "
"Sigh, it's because my legs and feet have been acting up these few days. I need to go to the town to have a look. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep at night because of the soreness." The old village chief said and said to the old woman beside him, "Okay, okay, go back! We can make it back by night. "
"Be careful on the road. Go early and come back early." The old woman said and stuffed the pancakes she had made into Hao 'er's hands for them to eat on the road.
"Come, come, sit up here." The man carried Yue 'er onto the donkey cart. When he was about to carry Chen' er, Chen 'er said, "I can do it myself." With that, he climbed up by himself.
Hao 'er saw him climb up and also sat up. The old village chief and the man driving the donkey cart sat in front.
"Sit down, we're setting off." The man shouted and threw the target in his hand. He drove the donkey cart along the mountain path.
After watching the donkey cart leave, the old woman returned to the house. The old woman couldn't sleep anymore, so she went to tidy up the house where the three children had stayed for a few days. However, she didn't expect to see a shiny gold coin on the table.
"This, this is?"
The old woman was startled. She picked it up and looked carefully. She couldn't help but be surprised. How could there be a gold coin? This gold coin was equivalent to a hundred silver coins. For ordinary people like them, this was a lot of money.
On the way, Hao 'er sat cross-legged in the back and cultivated. The old village chief and the man sitting in front knew that they were sitting in the back and didn't worry about anything else. They just chatted with them from time to time.
At the back, Yue 'er and Mu Chen were eating pancakes when they heard the hushed voice coming from the front.
"Village chief, I heard from them that the road has not been peaceful these days. A few passersby even died a while ago."
"Bandits again? Logically speaking, this area is a remote and desolate place, so there shouldn't be any bandits. "
"I heard that he's a murderer who fled here to seek refuge. The terrain here is complicated, so it's not easy for the authorities to catch him. Look, he's now a scourge to the common people."
The brother and sister ate the biscuits as they spoke in low voices. After an unknown amount of time, the donkey cart suddenly stopped. Immediately after, there was the sound of swords clashing against each other.
Looking at the dozen or so people who suddenly appeared in front of them and surrounded them, the old village chief and the man's faces turned pale and their bodies trembled. "Mountain, mountain, mountain bandits!"
"Hahahahaha! I was worried that no one would come knocking on my door in the next few days! What are you waiting for? Get off the car! Take out all the money! " The man in the lead laughed loudly with his hands on his hips. He ordered people to drag the old village chief and the man off the donkey cart.
