Divorced woman with child travels through time

Chen Xuanyu took the lead and peered through the low window next door. The room was brightly lit and included the side room. It was a large room with several beds where men were fast asleep. There wasn't even a lookout.

"There are five people in total. We'll sneak over and take them out one by one. Keep your voice down and don't alert them," Chen Xuanyu decided.

"Alright!" Xiao Hao gently picked up the large knife leaning against the wall, ready to make his move.

"Wait a minute!" Fifteen fingers pointed to the thin man's waist. "He has some sleeping pills. Let me go get them, and we'll drug them one by one. That way, they won't be able to do anything to us."

"Great idea!" Chen Xuanyu raised both hands in agreement. This kid didn't like practicing martial arts properly, but he especially liked these unorthodox methods. Apart from the antidote pills that the two of them brought, half of the other medicines that Chen Wenfang gave him were on him.

Fifteen tiptoed over and casually pulled out a pouch from his waist, emptying it to reveal a few packets of sleeping pills—just enough for his needs. There were several people's belongings piled nearby, so he picked up his dagger and put it back at his waist.

Xiao Hao picked up the towel that was casually tossed on the table with disdain, Shiwu sprinkled the sleeping pills on it, and Chen Xuanyu touched the machete that Xiao Hao had put down. The three of them first approached the strongest man wearing a turban who was sleeping alone.

The man was snoring loudly, reeking of alcohol. Xiao Hao gently and tenderly covered his face with a towel.

The three held their breath, and Chen Xuanyu gripped his knife nervously, not daring to make a sound.

After a long while, when the man showed no signs of waking up, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is too much trouble," Xiao Hao said, throwing down his handkerchief and taking a packet of sleeping pills from Shiwu's hand. "One for each of us. Just sprinkle a little on their noses, and they won't wake up easily!"

"Okay!" The three of them were a little carried away by their previous success and went to get the medicine.

Chen Xuanyu carefully picked one at random, sprinkled some on the person's philtrum, and then lay down quietly.

"What the hell~" The man wiped it casually with his hand, muttered something, turned over, and fell asleep again, giving me a fright.

Fifteen looked around and chose the thinnest one. This person also used drugs. Could he have an antidote? Should he steal the antidote first? Fifteen hesitated as he made his move, gently shaking some powder onto the man's face. But the man happened to exhale, causing the powder to fall off and onto Fifteen's nose.

"Too little, pour some more!" Fifteen pondered, his hands trembling, and accidentally spilled the whole packet on the man's face!

"Oh no, run!" Fifteen quickly moved aside! But seeing that the man didn't react, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go forward to check when the skinny man suddenly opened his eyes.

Huh? Fifteen was startled. What should she do? She reached for her waist, thinking, "I might as well just kill him!"

Just then, the person closed their eyes again, seemingly thinking they were dreaming.

Just as Fifteen lowered his hand, the skinny man suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, and charged at him, yelling, "Ignorant brat, how dare you poison me! I'll kill you!"

"Ah!" Fifteen jumped back instinctively, and the dagger flew out of his hand!

The skinny guy was incredibly agile, dodging the attack with a backflip. He yelled, "Brothers, get up! That little brat's gone too far!"

Amidst the shouts of battle, one of the people who hadn't been drugged slowly awoke, his eyes half-closed, somewhat confused about the situation.

"Attack!" Without delay! Chen Xuanyu's killing intent surged, and as he shouted, his hand slashed down, striking the neck of the man who had been drugged and wearing a turban! Blood splattered everywhere!

Xiao Hao acted swiftly, having already knocked out one man. Seeing this, he didn't hesitate to use the dart in his hand to cut through the other burly man who had already passed out!

"Big Brother!" the skinny man howled, gritting his teeth as he roared, "Ah! I'll kill you all!"

"Third brother!" another man cried out in grief upon seeing this, jumping up to grab his knife! Xiao Hao threw a dart, which he dodged, but the dart stuck into the wall.

Chen Xuanyu reacted extremely quickly. After finishing the attack, he turned to the man who hadn't been drugged. Moreover, the man was facing the hall and had drunk too much, so he wasn't fully sober. The timing was perfect!

"Hey!" Chen Xuanyu roared, and the silver cleaver, stained with blood, hurtled straight towards his neck!

"Fourth brother, be careful!" the skinny man cried out upon seeing this!

But it was too late! With a muffled thud, the head was severed from the body, leaving only a blood-spurting body slowly collapsing to the ground.

"Aaaaah!" The remaining two thieves had already drawn their knives and were chasing after Fifteen and Xiao Hao with bloodshot eyes!

Knowing that a direct fight was unrealistic, they used their agility to leap and dodge their pursuers around the house!

After hacking down the two men, Chen Xuanyu's arms were already aching. The machete was fast, but it was too heavy! If he were to carry it to kill two adult men, he would probably be courting death! If only he could find a crossbow! Chen Xuanyu looked around.

With Fifteen and Xiao Hao holding him back, he gained some time.

The two thieves fought with increasing ferocity, and their drunkenness subsided considerably. Fifteen rolled around and dodged under the table.

"Let's see where you run to!" The skinny man cleaved the table in two with a single blow! He then swung his hand and knocked over the chair next to him.

Xiao Hao, however, was quick-witted. While running away, he didn't forget to find something handy for himself. He pretended that he had nowhere to run, turned around and hid back. The man turned around and chopped at him. He bent over to dodge the blade, then used the chair to flip over and came to the man whose throat had been slit earlier. With another running start, he flipped over the bed and took the opportunity to pull the dart off the wall!

When the man chased after him again, he ran forward, turned around and swung a dart, which hit him squarely in the throat!

"Ugh!" The man's machete was still coming down towards his back, but Xiao Hao used his hand to climb onto a pillar and dodged it!

Over there, Chen Xuanyu finally found the small crossbow and hid it by the bedside and under the cabinet.

"Fifteen! Get down!" As soon as Chen Xuanyu finished speaking, Fifteen immediately lay down on the ground, even though the ground was covered with blood spat out by the turbaned man!

"Whoosh!" The small crossbow shot out with a murderous aura and accurately pierced his chest.

"I..." The man was still cursing when he collapsed.

"Sigh~~~" Everyone sighed deeply, sat there for a while, then got up and tied their small crossbows to their arms.

Fifteen also pulled out his purse. The three of them divided their original silver notes and found that there was an extra hundred taels of silver, which they must have also been robbed.

"Let's go and call them over," Chen Xuanyu said, only to see several children already crowding through the doorway.

The chubby little boy, about seven or eight years old, timidly pointed to the leftover food on the table and asked, "Can I eat the food on top of this?"

"Huh? Let's eat!" Chen Xuanyu replied subconsciously.

Suddenly, five or six children squeezed in and rushed to the food on the table, wolfing it down without caring what it was, as if they hadn't eaten for days.
