Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

swoosh~

A hidden weapon flew over from a distance.

"Get down~"

Xia Shengsheng pushed Shanshan, who was closest to her, down on the donkey cart with one hand, while still reminding the remaining two children.

With his other hand, he grabbed the donkey's whip and quickly knocked the hidden weapon to the ground.

The three children only knew that their mother suddenly nervously asked them to lie down. They did not sense the coming danger. Although they did as they were told, they did not feel very nervous.

"mother?"

Yiyi wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Xia Shengsheng's gesture.

"Shh~"

Xia Shengsheng listened carefully to the sounds around him. It seemed that there had not been any bandits or thieves causing trouble along this stretch of road for decades.

The hidden weapon just now obviously did not seem to be shot by an ordinary bandit or thief.

Listen carefully to the movements in the air.

It seemed that there was the sound of weapons clashing not far from them. Xia Shengsheng couldn't tell how many people were there, but he clearly felt the presence of danger.

But this danger should not be directed at them.

I looked around this place where there was no village or shop nearby.

Whether you continue to move forward or go back, it is easy to be restrained by this unknown danger.

Xia Shengsheng got off the donkey cart, touched the donkey's neck, and signaled it not to make a sound.

He pulled the reins and pulled the donkey cart into the grass of a secret room behind him.

Let a few children get off the car and hide out of sight.

After doing all this, Xia whispered to the children not to come out no matter what noise they heard.

She went to check the situation herself. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, she just wanted to make sure whether their location was safe and whether there were other escape routes that could avoid the unknown danger.

The children knew that they could not help, and the best help they could give to their mother was to listen to her and not cause trouble for her, so they did not stop Xia Shengsheng's actions.

Xia Shengsheng followed the sound and saw two men in black besieging a young man a few hundred meters away.

When the two sides fought again, the young man obviously looked very tired.

The men in black were very agile, one of them was holding a broadsword, the other was holding a bamboo-shaped whip, and their martial arts were somewhat unpredictable.

Moreover, the man in black holding the bamboo-shaped whip would shoot out hidden weapons from time to time.

The hidden weapon hit a nearby tree and almost penetrated the thick trunk.

No wonder Xia Shengsheng and the others were still involved even though they were hundreds of meters away.

Xia Shengsheng thought, if the distance wasn't too far, if it was so close, she would definitely not be able to block such a powerful hidden weapon, wouldn't it break her whip in one go?

The young man who was besieged by the two of them might have known that he could not hold on, so he was always on the defensive and trying to find a way to escape.

But two fists are no match for four hands, and soon, the boy was chopped on the arm by one of the men in black. The other black man took advantage of the opportunity and shot a hidden weapon into the boy's chest. The black blood that came out proved that the hidden weapon was poisonous.

Xia Shengsheng looked at the whip in her hand. In fact, she really wanted to go forward and help the group of teenagers.

But she was not sure that she could defeat the two men in black.

If they cannot defeat the enemy, the man in black will know that other people have intervened and may search nearby for accomplices.

Then her children would be in danger.

Xia Shengsheng didn't dare to take the risk and could only watch the black-clad man's sword fall towards the boy's chest!

When it was about to touch the boy’s skin.

He was stopped by another man in black holding a hard whip.

"Wait a minute..."

The man in black holding the big knife turned his head, his face full of questions.

“Don’t forget, the woman only gave one-third of the silver.

He was hit by my hidden weapon and will die from the poison within three days at most.

If we can settle the final payment within these three days, he won't have to worry about it anymore.

If not, come back and revive him, and take him to his father to ask for money."

"If he is rescued by someone else, wouldn't that ruin our reputation?"

"Humph! Are there any people in this world who can detoxify the poison I made?

In this rural village, unless you meet some hermit or sage.

If that's the case, then he got it cheap.

We have to leave a way out when we do business. Let's go. Listen to me and you won't go wrong."

Xia Shengsheng watched the two people leave and didn't dare to do anything.

Only after making sure that the two people would not look back did he dare to walk cautiously in front of the boy.

Looking at the young man with black blood flowing from his chest and mouth, his eyes closed, and his fingers trembling, he shook his head.

Since those two men in black are so sure.

She also felt that the boy could not be saved.

Just as Xia Shengsheng was about to leave and go back to find the children, someone grabbed her legs.

When she turned around, she saw the young man looking at her straight with his two big eyes.

"Save me...Please, please...save...save..."

The intermittent cries for help made Xia Shengsheng's heart soften.

I weighed in my mind what the two black men had just said.

If the two of them really wanted the boy to die, they would not have come back.

Unless he wanted to come back to revive him and use him as a bargaining chip to get money, he would come back to look for the boy.

In that case, Xia Shengsheng would have been considered to have helped the two men in black, so he shouldn't have made any enemies with them, right?

Besides, didn’t they also say that there were probably few people in the world who could cure the boy’s poison?

If Xia Shengsheng took him back, he might only be able to survive a few more days.

Perhaps out of his natural soft-heartedness, Xia Shengsheng still took the boy home.

Ercheng and Ye Chao walked back by themselves after class.

Looking at the stranger who was brought back and was seriously injured, he didn't have time to ask more questions. He quickly helped Xia Shengsheng to carry the person into the house.

Xia Shengsheng asked a few children to look after the boy while she went to ask for Doctor Zhao.

Give it your all!

Looking at the young man who was placed on the kang in the guest room.

Liu Yiyi and Liu Shanshan both thought: What a poor boy.

Sicheng: Mom is so awesome. She brought back another person.

Ye Chao: Are you here to share my favor?

Ercheng: Judging from what this person is wearing, he must be of some noble status. Ye Chao, who just arrived at their home, is also wearing very gorgeous clothes. It seems that there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in their family.

At this time, Doctor Zhao was holding a steamed bun and eating the pickled vegetables that Xia Shengsheng had given him.

My heart is in pain!

We had agreed to cook for a month, but Xia Shengsheng refused to cook for even one more day.

Even giving money is not allowed.

But sometimes some food would be delivered to me, but it felt like I had no idea where to start.

Fortunately, there were quite a lot of pickles.

When there is no food, you don’t have to eat those half-cooked dark dishes you made yourself.

He took a pickled vegetable, dipped it in Xia Shengsheng's special chili oil, and was about to put it in his mouth.

Someone suddenly grabbed my arm and my chopsticks fell to the ground.

"Doctor Zhao, hurry, help me..."
