How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

As the saying goes, the soft fears the hard, the hard fears the tough, the tough fears the stupid, and the stupid fears the desperate.

The beggars seemed fearless. Guard Zhang asked in a deep voice, "How many do you want?" It wasn't that he was afraid of the beggars, but they looked at more than twenty people. The Jia family had only ten guards and servants, and the rest were delicate maids, unfit for use.

They would definitely not lose if they fought, but if they startled the ladies, they would be afraid that the beggars would rush over and attack them. Not to mention whether they would be injured or not. Even if they were pulled by the beggars, it would be humiliating.

When we return to the Jia family, none of them will be able to escape because of their poor protection.

"Let the young masters and young ladies throw all the valuables on them to us." Feng Gou smiled even more proudly when he saw him compromise.

"Guardian Zhang!" Jia Junjie was displeased and shouted angrily, "How dare you bow down to a bunch of beggars! I didn't expect you to be such a coward! I order you to go up and beat me. If you kill me, it's my responsibility!"

Xia Chu held the two little girls in her arms. She felt that Guardian Zhang might not be afraid.

Feng Gou heard a woman's voice, but it was already dark and he couldn't see clearly even with the lantern. But from the sound of her voice, he knew she must be a beauty.

Before he could say anything, a man came up from behind and said, "Boss, how about we grab that little girl and have some fun with her?"

Feng Gou was their leader, and he dared to threaten them. Naturally, he was not a brainless person. He was also somewhat tempted, but his mind was clearer. He only sneered and said, "Go and get yourself killed."

"Cousin, we are carrying knives, don't be afraid." Jia Junjie turned around and said.

Guard Zhang patiently explained, "If we really fight, we won't lose. But it will definitely not be a good sight, and I'm afraid the smell of blood will scare the ladies."

"Hurry up, or we'll have to take action." Seeing that there was no movement over there, Feng Gou urged.

Jia Junjie was hesitant after hearing what Zhang Huyuan said. Hearing that the beggars were so rampant, he was furious. "Impossible!" He said, snatched the knife from Zhang Huyuan, and was about to rush over.

Guardian Zhang grabbed him and said, "Third Master! Calm down!"

Feng Gou narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth. He didn't want to make a move, but after following them for so long, he definitely couldn't just walk away with five taels of silver. Otherwise, his prestige would be gone, and these people wouldn't listen to him anymore. It was so lively, and they happened to come across such a group of fat sheep, and there was no one around. Such a good opportunity, he had to take advantage of it. "Then we can take it ourselves!"

"Junjie! Don't be impulsive." Xia Chu grabbed Jia Junjie and dragged him back. "Take the sisters to the carriage!" She snatched the knife from Jia Junjie's hand and returned it to Guardian Zhang. "Guardian Zhang, when we go back today, I will ask my grandfather for a reward. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Third brother!" Jia Wanlin bit her lip and grabbed her brother's arm tightly.

Jia Junjie finally regained some clarity of mind and yelled at the flustered maids, "What are you standing there for! Send the ladies to the carriage!"

Everyone seemed to remember that there was a carriage behind them at this time, and hurriedly asked the young ladies and gentlemen to get on the carriage.

Guard Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. In his haste, he hadn't even thought of the carriage. With the carriage as a protection, he would have fewer concerns when dealing with this group of people.

Seeing that the fat sheep was about to run away and no longer threatened, Feng Gou became anxious, "Brothers, whether we can eat meat and drink wine depends on today!"

Feng Gou grabbed the stone in his hand and rushed forward, followed closely by more than 20 people shouting and rushing forward.

"Protect the carriage! Anyone who dares to approach will be killed!" Guard Zhang retreated to the side of the carriage, gripping his knife tightly. In reality, there were only two people with knives: he, the leader, and his deputy. Ironware was strictly controlled, and each household's iron usage was registered.

The entire Jia family only had six swords combined, and that cost a lot of money and connections. They were just out for the temple fair, not that many people. And the masters needed guards around them when they were out and about, and they also had to keep people at home.

Who knew someone would be so blind as to dare to rob someone today? Zhang Huyuan was also furious. He was about to go home, thinking that today was the day to settle the matter and have a drink with his brothers. But he ran into this group of people and stared at the one who was leading the fight.

This man was the tallest and strongest of the beggars. Judging by their proficiency, this wasn't their first time. If they dealt with him first, this mob would surely scatter.

Xia Chu pushed the three children into the car and squatted at the door, lifting the curtain a little. As soon as she stuck her head out, a burst of blood splattered in front of her eyes, accompanied by a terrified scream.

She shuddered and slowly lowered the curtain. But the blinding red still filled her eyes. Was that person dead? So much blood, he must be dead. This thought frightened Xia Chu. Screams continued to be heard outside.

The sound of a blade piercing flesh was like thunder, the dull thud of a stone falling on someone, the crash of a heavy object hitting the ground. Then, something struck the carriage, causing it to lurch. Jia Wanlin screamed and huddled tightly in her sister's arms, sobbing softly and shaking.

Jia Junjie hugged his two younger sisters and regretted his impulsive behavior.

It was unknown how much time had passed, perhaps only a moment, perhaps a long time. Guard Zhang was covered in blood, and several beggars lay on the ground, their lives unknown. Two of their men had also had their heads smashed by rocks. Guard Zhang examined the wounded, patted his deputy, and said, "Go find the patrol." The deputy took the order and left.

"It's okay, young lady, please don't come out. We have to wait for the yamen runners to come."

Xia Chu didn't dare to stick his head out to look, and even didn't dare to move.

After the patrol arrived, they went to the yamen. The four girls were terrified. The yamen staff couldn't get anything out of them, so Zhang Huyuan sent someone back to the Jia Mansion to report that they were safe. The three Jia brothers personally went to the yamen to pick them up. They had done nothing wrong; they were just trying to protect themselves, and they were quickly released.

As soon as she left the government office, Jia Qingwu came to meet her. She shouldn't have told her, but the child hadn't returned yet so late. She kept asking, even wanting to go out and look for him. By the time the messenger returned, she had already prepared her car and was about to leave.

After she knew what happened, she was so frightened that she almost had a seizure. Jia Sansi repeatedly advised her to wait at home, but the matter was urgent, so Jia Sansi took his brother directly to the government office.

Jia Qingwu couldn't sit still, so she followed secretly but didn't go in.

"Xia Xia!" Jia Qingwu hugged Xia Chu and felt her body. After confirming that she was not injured, her heart dropped, but she suddenly fainted.

There was another chaotic scene. I returned home and asked the doctor to clean up. It was already dawn, and Xia Chu had fallen asleep on the bed. But his dream was full of blood and screams, and he woke up in shock after a while.

This kind of thing happened so close to the Chinese New Year. Although everyone is safe and sound, everyone feels uncomfortable.

Mrs. Jia decided to take the whole family to the temple to worship, donate some money, get rid of bad luck and ask for a talisman.
