Divorced woman with child travels through time

Zhang Chang rushed over to help the child up, glaring angrily at the group.

Brother Nie quickly tore off his clothes and used the wooden bandage. This kid is really a blockhead; he's injured like this and hasn't uttered a sound.

Ah Xing kept talking, grinning wickedly. Ah Yue retreated while cursing, "Damn it, all you do is eat, eat, eat! Where did you find this? We're here to kill people, don't you know that?"

"What a joke! There are two experts here, don't you know? We're lucky if we can steal anything." The two argued, oblivious to everyone else.

Chen Wenfang and the others looked at this group of people with a mixture of speechlessness and anger.

As they walked out of the main house, they slowly followed them into the courtyard. Upon closer inspection, Chen Wenfang noticed that the courtyard gate was ajar. What was going on?

She was about to say something when a series of sharp "clangs" and "bangs" were heard as something hurtled towards her chest. Then a gust of wind swept by, lifting her hair and swirling her whisk in front of her chest before a throwing knife fell to the ground. Chen Wenfang stood there, stunned, still unable to react.

At the same time, everyone saw it instinctively, Chen Xuanyu and Xiao Hao and the other kids threw their crossbows, aiming straight at A Yue and A Xing.

Sister-in-law Nie and Aunt Li also fired their crossbows at several wounded assassins, while Daoist Wuxin, still angry, rushed forward and attacked Ah Xing.

Suddenly, a bunch of crossbows mixed with other objects flew past. Ah Xing and Ah Yue frantically tried to block them, no longer caring about Big Bear. "Snap!" Ah Xing looked closely and saw that there was even a stick and scissors! ...Who threw this thing!

Seeing that the bear had escaped control, Master Wuxin seized the opportunity to grab him and bring him back. Upon seeing this, Brother Nie shouted, "Everyone, attack together and kill all these beasts!"

The group charged forward to attack, only to find the gate wide open. A cloud of smoke mixed with darts came flying at them with a whooshing sound.

"Oh no! Everyone, quickly cover your noses and squat down!" Master Zhang Chang quickly assumed a horse stance, his whisk flying like raindrops, swirling so tightly it was almost impenetrable, barely managing to block some of the airflow. However, it all happened too fast, and they were still a step too late.

"Ouch!" someone groaned in pain.

In the chaos, A-Yue and A-Xing abandoned several colleagues and were led away by Zhao Yang. All that could be heard was the sound of horses' hooves fading into the distance.

Once the thick smoke had completely dissipated, everyone realized that the smoke wasn't poisonous at all; it was just a smear. After checking each other over, they discovered that it was Wang Xiaoming, that unlucky guy, who had been stabbed again. Apart from Da Xiong and Mu Tou, everyone else was fine.

Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu ran out from behind the crowd. "These people wouldn't be stealing our horses, would they? I'll go check." Uncle Hu said and ran off.

Everyone went to pick up their own weapons. Aunt Hu picked up her scissors; it was too dangerous, and she really didn't dare to come out.

"Oh no! Our horses have been stolen! Those bastards! They even stole two horses... Oh my god!" Uncle Hu cried out outside. Since he came here, he has been taking care of the horses almost every day. He has grown very attached to these horses and brushes their coats every day. He never expected that they would be stolen by thieves!

Chen Wenfang, having regained her composure, went outside and reassured them, "It's alright, you can always buy another horse. Why did you all come here? Did you hear the commotion? What about those three families? I haven't seen them here."

Brother Nie and Uncle Hu were taken aback. "That's right," they said. "I'll go take a look first!" Brother Nie was worried, so Uncle Hu went with him.

Those three families lived quite far apart. After all, there were eighteen small buildings in the village, and the front, back, and middle were quite far apart. Brother Nie was worried, so he specially arranged for those three families to live in the house at the front. The three families living together could look out for each other and also prevent others from sneaking in. So much time has passed, and these three families have not given any warning. They didn't expect it either. Normally, since the assassin came down from the mountain, they should be fine.

Brother Nie and Uncle Hu ran extremely fast, quickly reaching the outermost house near Wangjiazhuang Bridge. Brother Nie faintly smelled blood; he had a bad feeling. Approaching, he saw the house door wide open. The first thing he saw were the two elderly people from the Tian family, barely clothed, lying in pools of blood. Brother Nie's face was grave as he strode inside. "Go and call someone!"

"Good!" Uncle Hu, suppressing his shock, rushed forward to check on her. She was no longer breathing, but her body was warm. "Sigh!" Uncle Hu hurriedly went back to inform Chen Wenfang.

The further Brother Nie went, the uglier his face became. When he entered the main house, Tian Shi was lying motionless on the ground, as was his wife. Brother Nie checked his breathing and thought, "Hey, there's still hope." He then carried them out in a princess carry.

After Chen Wenfang and the others settled the children, they rushed over and were stunned by the scene. The two elderly people lived in the side room closest to the door. They must have come out to check after hearing the commotion, which is why they were killed.

"Quick! Go find a doctor, he's not dead yet!" Brother Nie carried the man to the outer hall, where he saw everyone.

"Don't move him, let me see!" Master Zhang Chang examined Tian Shi and saw that he had been stabbed through the left side of his chest by a sword. He quickly took his pulse and pressed several acupoints on his body before speaking, "Don't move him yet, check on the others. He's lucky to be alive. Perhaps the person stabbed him carelessly and the stab was off-target, so he survived!"

The crowd immediately scattered to search for the missing people. They eventually discovered that Tian Huashan and his wife had died protecting Tian Zhuangzhuang and the other boys, and Tian Shi's wife had also been killed. Zhang Liang and his wife, who had a daughter living at the innermost part of the house, had blocked the door when they heard the noise, so the assassins didn't have time to break down the door and thus escaped.

“The key is this child, Master, please take a look!” Li Huanqiu carried Tian Zhuangzhuang over. “He may have been frightened; he has a slight fever.”

Master Zhang Chang looked over and saw four children in a row. Apart from Tian Zhuangzhuang, the other three seemed a bit wooden. Tian Qi, the eldest son of the Tian family, knelt beside his parents who were being carried out, without saying a word, only shedding tears and crying silently. They watched their parents being killed, yet they insisted on blocking the doorway, just to protect them.

"He's been traumatized, but he'll recover after taking some medicine. It's just that the emotional wounds he's suffered won't heal anytime soon." Master Zhang Chang silently patted his head. Poor child!

Everyone fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of a few families sobbing quietly. The women were also tidying up the house with tears in their eyes.

Chen Wenfang watched all this, her eyes reddening. Were these people in power crazy? She just wanted to live a peaceful life; she didn't want to do anything, not even expand her business. Was it so hard to save her life? They were all innocent; it was all because of her…

Chen Wenfang was somewhat unable to face this fact, so she arranged for Brother Nie to handle these matters and bury them afterward. As for the children, they would definitely be raised by them in the future, so there was no need to worry about that.
