There was a tense atmosphere around, which made Yu Qingqing feel very uneasy.

Yu Qingqing didn't look at the woman again, but looked around, then turned slightly and said to Yu Qingshu anxiously:

“Dad, just watch me and I’ll let the horse run right away, away from these people!

I felt like something was not right around here. If the stalemate continued, our family would be surrounded by these people sooner or later.

If that was the case, the consequences would be unimaginable. We also don't know if the people around were just there to watch the fun or if they were the woman's accomplices.

So we'd better be cautious, and there is no room for error."

At this time, Yu Qingqing and the others had already turned the big corner, and they could rush out while there were not too many people around.

The roads ahead are relatively flat and the pipelines are relatively spacious.

Even though it is still a muddy road, it looks very flat overall.

After hearing Yu Qingqing's words, Yu Qingshu looked at the increasing number of people around him.

During the stalemate with the woman just now, he really didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation.

I didn't know when, but I saw a few ragged men gathered at the horse's head in front.

They were all skinny and their hair was messy and smelly.

Although there was a distance between them, Yu Qingshu could still smell a faint stench.

Most of these men held wooden sticks or small machetes with broken notches in their hands.

If you look closely, you will find that the position where they are standing is facing Yu Qingqing and her family's cart, forming a semi-encirclement trend.

Moreover, there didn't seem to be any despair about life in the man's eyes.

Instead, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes, as if the thing in front of him was within his reach.

Following their line of sight, you can see that they are staring closely at Yu Qingqing's horse and her family.

As if he understood something, he made a secret decision in his heart.

Even if there was someone blocking the way in front of the cart, he would still grit his teeth and drive the horse forward.

After Yu Qingshu figured out these things, a barely perceptible trace of panic flashed across his face.

But he quickly covered it up. He pretended to be calm and said hurriedly:

"Qing'er, I understand! Just do what you are supposed to do, and Dad will just stay in the front and focus on driving the carriage.

And my lady, you and Xiaomei should take good care of Xiaoji, and you should also keep steady, as the ride will probably be a little bumpy later!"

After Yu Qingshu finished talking to Yu Qingqing, he turned around and gave Hua Qinglu a few words of advice.

Hua Qinglu, who was standing by, also felt something was wrong when she saw the look on her husband's face.

After she realized what was happening, she felt a little scared. She then tightened her arms around Yu Qingji and nodded slightly.

When Yu Qingqing turned around and saw the woman, she looked as if she would not let go unless she agreed. She felt deeply that this person was really shameless.

A fierce look flashed in Yu Qingqing's eyes. Without much hesitation, he raised his hand and stabbed the dagger into the woman's wrist. Blood immediately gushed out of the woman's wrist.

The woman who was stabbed in the wrist cried out in pain, "Murder! Murder! Help! Help!"

The woman quickly loosened her hands on the cart because of the pain.

Yu Qingqing quickly pulled the knife back, and soon the horse pulled the cart and began to gallop forward.

The accident happened at this moment, the people in front were blocking the cart.

The moment the cart started, it rolled around in a panic.

Gradually, the cart was getting farther and farther away. The people behind saw the carriage running away and also started to chase after the cart.

But they were definitely unable to outrun the horses, and could only watch Yu Qingqing and the others getting farther and farther away.

The injured woman was now holding her wrist tightly.

Fortunately, Qingqing didn't use too much force just now, and the wound is not deep. It will probably heal soon.

The woman sat on the ground groaning, with the child in her arms placed casually beside her.

At this moment, she was only focused on the area where she was injured and did not notice the child.

There was also a group of people surrounding her, but they were not staring at her, but looking at where she was injured.

Yu Qingqing's guess was indeed correct, because these people were in cahoots with that woman.

The child was not the woman's, but was snatched from someone else. He was drugged and that's why he was unconscious.

That's why the woman dared to leave the child on the ground because everyone around her was the same as her.

I had used the same method to rob many people before, but I didn't expect to fail this time.

By the time Yu Qingqing and her friends' cart had gone quite far away.

They finally got rid of those people who were fleeing famine and chasing them.

Hua Qinglu, Yu Qingqing and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They all felt like they had survived a disaster.

Fortunately, the road ahead was relatively flat, so their cart was not too bumpy when running, which reduced a lot of danger.

Even when thinking about it now, Hua Qinglu still felt scared and guilty because he was too soft-hearted just now.

If it weren't for his third daughter who stopped him, he would have been fooled and put his family in danger.

When she thought of this, Hua Qinglu became more and more panicked. She said sincerely and apologetically:

"Qing'er, husband! I'm really sorry for what happened just now. I felt sorry for the child and almost let my heart go and brought disaster to our family.

I will pay attention in the future and won’t be so kind again.”

The more Hua Qinglu spoke, the softer his voice became, with a hint of sobs in it.

I think he must be feeling really guilty, which is why he blames himself so much.

When Yu Qingqing heard what her mother said, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

In this era when people are hungry and cold everywhere, she has no reason to blame anyone.

It's normal to have good intentions, at least it shouldn't be cold and heartless.

Yu Qingqing stepped forward and half-embraced Hua Qinglu's shoulders, then she whispered softly to comfort him:

"Mom, don't worry about this. It has nothing to do with you. It's those people who are so mean!

And now there are people like this everywhere, making it hard to guard against them.

Just be careful next time, and don't blame yourself too much!"

Yu Qingqing naturally wouldn't blame Hua Qinglu in her heart, she would only think that Hua Qinglu was a kind person.

As a mother, she naturally couldn't bear to see her child suffer, and Yu Qingqing could understand this.

Yu Qingshu was driving the carriage in front and had no way of being distracted. He could only let his children comfort his wife.

Yu Qinghai and Yu Qingmei were also beside him, comforting Hua Qinglu.

After hearing their words, Hua Qinglu's frown relaxed a little.

She also began to slowly walk out of the dead end and was not as sad as before.
