After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

Zhao Huanxi negotiated the price with the female shopkeeper for a long time before she agreed to sell it for three taels of silver. This time, a lot of clothes were purchased and the project was large, so it was estimated that it would take seven or eight days to complete.

Zhao Huanxi ordered several sets of clothes for the children and herself. Including the shoes, it wasn't very expensive, which Zhao Huanxi could afford.

So he readily paid the money, took the receipt, and took the children to the street.

Zhao Huanxi went to some shops he often visited and bought some things needed for the family. He asked them to deliver them to the oxcart shed outside the city and put them in the hands of Uncle Lu Gen.

The few of them were walking and playing. When they saw something interesting on the street, Zhao Huanxi would wave his hand and put it all in his bag. Soon the backpack was full.

In fact, Zhao Huanxi did not attract much attention, for fear of attracting the covetousness of those with ulterior motives. In this era, robbery and murder are too normal.

So she only bought some unimportant things, and to outsiders, she looked like a poor mother who came to town to take her daughter to buy some cheap things.

But she didn't know that she was being watched when she entered the Zhenxiu Pavilion to eat.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Huanxi prepared to take the child home and went to Wenchun Hall at the town gate to get his eighty taels of silver.

But Zhao Huanxi had noticed since when that he was being watched, and this feeling became even more urgent when he was about to leave the city. It was as if they were waiting for him to leave.

What should I do?

After thinking about it for a long time, he thought, damn, I have money, but I don’t have any martial arts skills. Can’t I just hire someone? Really. So he simply took his child and went to the nearest escort agency.

"Ma'am, are you delivering a package?"

The man who looked like a guard at the door didn't know how to start when he saw a young lady with three girls.

"I need to hire two people to take me home. Someone is following me."

Zhao Huanxi didn't show it on her face, but she was still a little flustered. She had several women, and the driver was an old man. She was really not sure what was going on.

The man was a little embarrassed and said, "My cavalryman went to escort the convoy with his brothers today. I am the only one left in the escort agency... I wonder how many people are there on the other side?"

Zhao Huanxi then took a look at the young guard. He didn't expect him to be an escort. He was just wondering why he was so young when a female voice came from inside:

"Madam, I'll take your chariot with me. How about one ounce of silver?"

A woman emerged from inside, dressed in smoky grey men's clothing, her hair tied back with a jade-studded crown, a pitch-black sword tucked at her waist. Her sharp eyebrows and bright eyes gave her the air of a chivalrous woman.

"Madam, this is our Pang Piaotou's daughter. Don't mind. She probably wants to go out and have fun."

Zhao Huanxi saw that the woman had a sturdy build and walked steadily and cautiously. It was obvious that she had practiced martial arts for many years. After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

"Miss, if you can take me and the children home safely, along with this little brother, two taels of silver will be enough."

Zhao Huanxi wasn't entirely sure, but it was getting late, and it might be too late to go to another escort agency. He could only hope this woman was reliable.

The few people left as soon as they said they would. Zhao Huanxi wanted to give them some money first, but the woman said she would give it to them after they arrived, so Zhao Huanxi accepted the money.

The young escort went to the backyard to get the horse, and the woman started chatting with Zhao Huanxi.

"Young Madam, you haven't been to town very often, have you? Our Pang's Escort Agency is the best in town. Luckily, Dad isn't here today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take your order."

The woman looked energetic and seemed to be full of energy.

"Yeah, it's really bad luck that I'm being targeted even though I don't come to town often."

Zhao Huanxi smiled bitterly after she finished speaking. Those criminals just like to take advantage of weak targets. She and her daughters are such good pieces of fat meat. If she were a robber, she would be tempted.

"What do you call the young lady? It's easy to be coveted when you have several children with you."

"Zhao Huanxi."

"Sister, just call me Hongying. I'm your father's only child. When I was little, I envied others for having sisters."

Pang Hongying looked very excited. Seeing her like this, he felt even less confident. If the other party came with a few burly men, he wondered if this girl could withstand it.

At this time, the young escort leading the horse came from the backyard. Pang Hongying introduced with a smile:

"Sister Huanxi, this is my junior fellow apprentice, Tang Xiaoliu. He's quite capable, so just leave him to us."

This Tang Xiaoliu also looked like a skilled horseman. Seeing him jump onto the horse so smoothly, she was drooling with envy. If only she had a fast horse...

"Oh, right, let me discuss something. We're going to take a bullock cart in a while. You guys should just follow behind from a distance. The man driving the cart is my uncle, and I don't want to scare him."

Zhao Huanxi led the little girls towards the city gate, mainly because he was afraid that the criminals would see Zhao Huanxi calling for help and would not dare to follow him. He was such a big fat guy, and he was afraid that those people would follow him back home, which would be terrible.

The two people behind watched Zhao Huanxi walk away and observed for a while. Pang Hongying said something to Xiaoliu, and then the two of them split up into two groups and quietly disappeared into the crowd and left the city, trying not to attract attention.

Zhao Huanxi left the city and got on a bullock cart. He walked with the goods and the child for more than half an hour until he arrived at a road covered with trees.

This place is in the middle of nowhere, with no village in front and no shop behind, making it a perfect place for robbery.

At this time, sparse sounds were heard from the woods, and three bearded men with knives rushed out.

"I planted this tree and built this road. If you want to pass this road, leave some money!" The leader was the tallest and strongest one with a beard.

This fits the image of robbers in Zhao Huanxi's mind: they are dressed in rags, holding big knives, and one of them has one eye covered.

Well... this world is just a giant copy.

Uncle Lu Gen, who was driving the ox cart in front, was startled and said tremblingly, "Gentlemen, please have mercy. This is my daughter visiting her parents' home. These are all farmers. Please let us pass."

Zhao Huanxi glanced behind him inadvertently and saw Pang Hongying and Tang Xiaoliu preparing to go around behind the robbers to attack them from a distance. So he had to attract their attention and give them a chance.

"Since you, my dear heroes, have come out to explore the world, you must have been living in the open and hungry. I am willing to give you two taels of silver to buy some meat, just to pray for your safety."

"Fuck you, you're sending beggars to me! A meal at the Treasure Pavilion costs you one or two taels of silver, you must have quite a bit on you! Hand it all over to me, or else, hehehe..."

The leader had a ferocious look on his face and walked towards them with a big knife in his hand. Zhao Huanxi's palms were sweating as he protected the children tightly.

What Zhao Huanxi didn't know was that this group of people had set their sights on these women this morning. Although they were dressed poorly, they were clean, and their children were fair and tender. It was obvious that they had some money on them.

Later, seeing Zhao Huanxi's endless shopping spree, they became even more convinced that she was a fat glutton, so they planned to rob her on her way home. If they really didn't have any, they would knock her unconscious and sell her to a brothel, since this business was a sure win anyway.

Zhao Huanxi didn't know any of this, so he could only pretend to be panicked and grab one of the bags tightly, refusing to let go.

The boss thought Zhao Huanxi was protecting the silver, and immediately his eyes lit up and he was ready to grab it. At this time, two muffled sounds came from the two people behind him. The boss immediately turned around to check. Zhao Huanxi took out the large iron spoon he had prepared long ago and threw it on the boss's head.

The boss groaned in pain.
