Divorced woman with child travels through time

Everyone asked, and they all shook their heads, saying, "We didn't hear anything."

Chaotianying was shocked and was about to say something.

Wang Hanyang, who was lying in ambush in the woods, noticed something amiss and alertly made two bird calls. Wang Xiaoming, on the opposite side, also noticed and imitated a few pheasant calls. The grass rustled.

Chao Tianying and the others looked around and found nothing unusual, so they were finally relieved and continued forward. They finally entered the encirclement. Xu Tixia took the lead and shouted, "Beat them!" With a long roar, people from both sides of the road rushed out, and in an instant, arrows surrounded the bandits.

"We've been ambushed! Run!" The bandits fell into the trap one after another and began to scatter in all directions. Xu Tixia's troops were just local militia, and their archery was not particularly accurate, so they shot all over the place, and quite a few of them were injured.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chaotianying shouted loudly, "Brothers, throw away the torches and head to the village to kill the government soldiers and avenge our brothers..." He spurred his horse forward, and the bandits followed suit. They placed some wood along the mountainside and dug traps behind it. When the guards saw the horse charging towards them, they immediately dodged. They couldn't take the hit with their bare hands.

The horse jumped over the log and fell into the pit. There were too many people, and as the horses behind pushed their way up, the pit in front filled up, and the people inside could only die inside.

One-Armed Tiger kept protecting Liu Yizhi. The Xiang Army was not a large force, and they rarely had meat to eat. You could tell by looking at how Xu Tixia ate meat. Many of them suffered from night blindness, and the arrows that came at them were weak and easily deflected. Occasionally, there would be some sharper arrows, which were shot by the county magistrate and Wang Hanyang. One-Armed Tiger knew how dangerous they were, so he dismounted and protected Liu Yizhi, hiding behind others. He protected him very well, and Liu Yizhi was completely unharmed.

Even in his escape, Chaotianying had time to think of Liu Yizhi. He patted his horse, signaling Liu Yizhi to follow. After rushing ahead, he turned back and realized Liu Yizhi was gone. He called out from the front, "Fourth Brother! Fourth Brother! Where are you? What do we do now?"

His shout immediately exposed them, and all the arrows flew in that direction. They had been holding torches, but when the soldiers attacked, they abandoned their torches and fled. The soldiers couldn't distinguish them and wouldn't shoot randomly, so they could only engage in close combat.

Liu Yizhi was very clever, and deliberately kept silent. Originally, he had sent Chaotianying to cause trouble, intending only to use him for his own purposes. Who would have thought that Chaotianying would dare to plot against him? He must have a death wish. Well, then let him die here.

There were too many arrows. Chaotianying parried a few times, but had no choice. With pursuers behind him, Liu Yizhi was very clever and deliberately kept silent. Chaotianying had no choice but to temporarily abandon his beloved fourth brother and head down to the village.

"Kill! Kill!" The bandits scattered and charged into the village. Although they didn't know how they had been exposed, it was clear they were no match for the government troops. Liu Yizhi gently patted One-Armed Tiger, and the two quietly hid in the bushes and ran away in the chaos.

Ah Li was anxious. He leaped down and cut down a bandit, saying, "Everyone scatter and chase after the thief! Ma Liu! Come with me to the manor to protect the master." He then glared at Xu Tixia, who was quite skilled but a complete brute.

Xu Tixia didn't take it seriously, chuckled twice, scratched his head, grabbed a horse, and charged into the village.

Wang Xiaoyang and his men stopped fighting and headed back to the village. If anything happened to Madam Chen, they would all be doomed.

In Wangjiazhuang, the sounds of killing roused everyone from the village. Wang Jinzhu grabbed his father's hand, wanting to go next door, but Wang Youtian clung to the edge of the bed, refusing to budge, saying, "Son, at this time of year, everyone's doors are tightly shut. It's not appropriate to go to someone else's house."

“But, Father, if, if…” The rest of the words were ominous and he didn’t say them. Wang Jinzhu was afraid he couldn’t protect his father.

Wang Youtian grasped his hand, his voice trembling, and said, "If that's the case, then it would be good for us, father and son, to be together."

"Father! I will definitely protect you." Wang Jinzhu looked at Wang Youtian's gray hair, wiped his face with his sleeve, and said, "Let's move the cabinet and bed over there to block the door and windows."

"Okay!" The father and son quickly moved all the heavy furniture they could move to the door and windows, blocking them completely. One of them, a kitchen knife, and the other, a hoe, stood guard at the door. Fortunately, perhaps because their house looked rather dilapidated, the thief didn't come to their house but went directly to the neighbor's house.

The sound of banging on the door startled the two men. Then came the bandits' curses, "Open the door, or I'll kill your whole family!" The neighbor, Wang Youshu's house, remained silent, no one responding. The two bandits, cursing and banging on the door for a long time without success, actually tried climbing into the yard. Suddenly, with a "plop," one fell into a vat, and the other fell into a trap. "Oh my god..."

"It hurts so much!" Cries of agony rose and fell.

Wang Jinzhu, listening by the window, almost burst out laughing.

Immediately following was the sound of a knife being drawn. "Liu Quan, there are two here, they can't escape." The two soldiers sneered as they tied the man up. From beginning to end, Wang Youshu's family did not come out, but stayed inside the house like Wang Jinzhu and the others, listening to what was happening.

The thieves who went to Zhuan Tou's house were doomed. Although Xu Tixia had initially sent some men to Chen Wenfang's house to protect Ouyang Junyan, there were still seven or eight of them. Three thieves were cut down as soon as they entered the door, and Zhuan Tou's hidden arrows had no chance to be used.

At Wang Erniu's house, Ouyang Junyan sat in the main room, leisurely sipping tea. The tea, handmade by Madam Chen, was exceptionally clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. Standing beside him were four county officials, swords drawn, watching the wide-open courtyard gate with menacing eyes. In the adjacent side room, soldiers and Brother Nie and his men were hiding by the door, waiting for the thieves to come.

Chaotianying galloped down the mountain straight towards Chen's house. He rushed over as soon as he saw the row of houses enclosed by the gate. His horse was good, and by the time he reached the gate of Chen's house, more than a dozen of his men had caught up. Seeing Ouyang Junyan leisurely drinking tea in the brightly lit hall with the gate wide open, while he himself had been ambushed and thrown into chaos, he was immediately enraged. As he untied his quiver, he cursed, "You dog of an official, I'll kill you..." and then shot an arrow.

Fang Qian, standing next to Ouyang Junyan, swung his sword to parry the arrow, which snapped in two and fell to the ground.

In the rooms on both sides, Chen Xuanyu and the children followed the soldiers' example, pressing their faces against the wall to eavesdrop. Two soldiers and Brother Nie stood guard at the door to prevent thieves from rushing in, while Chen Wenfang propped up a window to peek.

As soon as Chaotianying entered, Chen Xuanyu and Ahao instinctively squeezed to the window to peek.

Chen Xuanyu knew that uncle; he was a very kind man, and when he visited his house, his aunt even gave him lots of delicious snacks. Seeing Chaotianying shoot an arrow at Ouyang Junyan, his heart leaped into his throat. Luckily, it was stopped. Belatedly realizing what had happened, Chen Xuanyu became angry. "Dare to hit one of our people? I'll kill you!" he thought. He even used a little trick to get a helper, "Xiao Hao, let's have a contest of shooting at those garlic cloves, see who's more accurate?" Before Xiao Hao could answer, "Whoosh..." the hidden arrow flew out...
