Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Shen Lingzhu pulled down the cloth on her face and took her first glimpse of Dashuangdian from the top of the stone bridge. She felt that it was large and neat, with rows of houses arranged like soldiers in formation.

The entire village is surrounded by a wall of earth about one person high. If it were two or three times higher and a city gate were installed, it would definitely be a prosperous small town.

When their family stood on this street, they could hear various accents, merchants and porters hawking their wares everywhere, and it was as lively as the main street of the provincial capital.

She said to Shen Miaozhu: "There shouldn't be a curfew in this place. Will there be a night market in the evening?"

"No, but some shops close late at night." After Shen Huai said goodbye to the caravan manager who was staying at the hotel, he came back and just happened to hear his little niece's childish talk.

He asked, "Xiao Zhuzi, did you read about the night market in a book?"

There have never been night markets in this dynasty, either in my hometown or in the capital.

"Yeah, I heard it from a storyteller." Shen Lingzhu grinned as she answered, to hide the pain from being pinched by her senior sister because she spoke too much.

She slid away from her senior sister and jumped out of the car: "Uncle, there are many inns here, can we stay there?"

“Most of them are large carriage inns rented by caravans, and they have a mixed crowd.

We'll stay at the Zhenwu Temple in Ximenjiao. The Taoist priests are kind and friendly, and they don't charge any money for accommodation, regardless of status. "Shen Huai almost always stayed at the Zhenwu Temple every time he passed through Dashao.

In the past, when people were preparing for the imperial examinations, they would burn incense in the temple and pray for divine help, and then they would always be on the list.

As he spoke, he put Shen Lingzhu in the car again: "There are too many people, it's not safe."

The latter received a warning look from his senior sister, and heard his eldest brother Shen Xianzhu praising the Taoist priest in the Zhenwu Temple, saying that he had profound Taoist skills and was a canonized Zanjiao, equivalent to an eighth-rank official, and no one nearby dared to act rashly in the temple.

She just happened to understand a little about the term "Zanjiao". It was a title given by the dynasty to Taoist priests, such as the Heavenly Master and Zhenren of Longhu Mountain in the past.

Like other well-known sects, most of them have hereditary spiritual officials and advisors, and below them are the eighth-rank officials such as praisers of the religion and managers of books.

This title was very prestigious in ancient times, and the corresponding fees for performing rituals were also high.

Shen Lingzhu shrugged at her senior sister. It seemed that her plan to randomly choose accommodation had failed, as the inn still wouldn't let her stay there.

Seeing the disappointment of the two children, Mrs. Hu took their hands and told them that there was a carriage inn at the west gate of Daxudian.

The person in charge happened to be a relative of the Shen family. After settling everything down, it would be convenient for them to go and ask about the situation at home.

When Shen Lingzhu asked to go with her uncle, but was rejected, Long Sanhu Si, who was only a few steps away from the donkey cart, was also disappointed when he saw that the two girls never left their family's side.

They followed people without ever making eye contact, just as naturally as ordinary pedestrians hurrying along.

So even though Shen Miaozhu was observing her surroundings with great vigilance, she still treated them as an ordinary couple visiting relatives.

Sister Long San sat sideways on the donkey, hugging the bundle in her arms: "Big Cat, Two Donkeys, and Five Dogs, they can't even keep an eye on one person.

Once this family moves into the Zhenwu Temple, we will miss the peak time for pedestrians.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Tiger Four pointed forward: "Brother Wu Gou is here."

Long San kicked him lightly with his toes, telling him to be ready. He stared at the thin man in front of him who was shouting "make way". Pedestrians and vehicles moved to the left and right to avoid colliding with him.

He was seen pushing a wheelbarrow with four or five baskets of peaches on both sides, and walking crookedly towards the donkey cart pulled by Shen Xianzhu.

But at the moment the two sides crossed, although they were still several steps apart horizontally, his cart tilted and fell towards Shen Xianzhu. In an instant, the cart of peaches overturned and rolled, and most of the peaches rolled under the donkey's feet.

So much so that after being stepped on several times, the Shen family's donkey felt pain and started to cry out in anger, and no longer obeyed Shen Xianzhu's control.

"Wow, so many peaches!" The people nearby stopped immediately and bent down subconsciously to pick them up.

"Dad!" Shen Xianzhu couldn't stop the donkey from jumping around, and fearing that it might hurt the family members in the car, he protected Shen Huai who was beside the car and said, "Hold it down first."

But the donkey was pulling its body and was not honest. The car behind was shaking. Shen Lingzhu and her sister assisted their uncle to quickly slide their aunt off the back of the car.

There were peaches everywhere under their feet and some of their belongings had fallen out of the car. The people around them were noisy, some helping to pick up the peaches, while others just took them and left.

"Don't rush, don't rush. We rely on this cart of peaches to eat." The thin man hurriedly pulled the basket to pick up the peaches.

Long San and Hu Si also stuffed the donkey into the hands of a child who was squeezed next to them. The two of them were sandwiched between the passers-by picking peaches and gradually approached Shen Lingzhu and the others.

"Xiao Zhuzi, wear a mask and take up a weapon." When her uncle ran to subdue the donkey, Shen Miaozhu looked around at the increasingly crowded crowd and felt a little scared.

She held the white bamboo arrow she had just drawn tightly, trying her best to protect her aunt's belly and not let anyone squeeze her.

He also said, "Aunt, please hang up our towels."

She was talking about a long triangular scarf that she wore on the road to protect herself from dust and dirt. She took it off before entering Daliu. Now it can be used to provide some protection against poisonous smoke and the like.

"Miaozhu, don't worry about me, just keep an eye on your sister." Hu was shocked when she heard that, and hurriedly pulled the cloth up from under Shen Miaozhu's neck.

At the same time, he was on guard and observing his surroundings, and then he saw that when Shen Lingzhu grabbed the backpack on the ground, a pair of big hands grabbed Hu Si from behind and ran away, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared into the crowd.

She slapped Shen Miaozhu hard: "Go after Hanako!"

Shen Miaozhu let go of her aunt and pushed and chased her, shouting, "Someone is trying to steal the child! Get out of the way! Help!"

But just as she pushed aside a few people picking peaches and squeezed into the crowd, a foot tripped her from the side, and then two enthusiastic people came to help her.

It was the Big Cat and the Two Donkeys who were in the old carriage earlier.

But no matter who it was, Shen Miaozhu didn't dare let anyone grab her arms. White arrows streaked through the two hands. As she rolled on the ground to avoid them, she saw her bloodied uncle waving a knife to clear a path and chase after him. She shouted, "Uncle, the beggar is here!

Adults, please keep an eye on the children so they don’t get snatched away.”

The people picking peaches didn't realize something was wrong until they heard loud screams of killing or something on the other end. Those with children quickly hugged their children and retreated. Some smart people followed and shouted, "Catch the flower boy!"

But they didn't dare to approach Shen Huai who was holding a knife, thinking that he had just killed someone.

Especially the enthusiastic Big Cat Erlu, seeing Shen Huai rushing with blood and knives, he quickly retreated with everyone and disappeared.

Both of them had their hands scratched by Shen Miaozhu. They ran away cursing that they were a family of lunatics. Fortunately, one of them was captured, otherwise they would have suffered a great loss.

However, the two of them did not know that Hu Si's experience was much worse than theirs. The moment he caught Shen Lingzhu, he covered her mouth and nose with a paddle soaked in knockout drug.

He thought he had succeeded, but when he was following Long San who was leading the way and approaching a broken donkey cart, Shen Lingzhu, who was pretending to be unconscious, stabbed him in the back of the hand with an arrow.

She was attacked while picking up the crossbow that fell out of her backpack. She didn't break free from the tall and strong Hu Si in one go, and she inhaled some of the medicine that the other party had pressed on her mouth and nose, which made her dizzy.

So he bit the tip of his tongue, broke the poison arrow as quickly as possible and hid it in his sleeve.

Fortunately, she covered her face with a cloth and held her breath quickly, otherwise she would have been hit hard.

When Hu Si was trying to tighten her neck in pain, Shen Lingzhu pulled out the seven-inch arrow and stabbed him again...
