Chapter 66 Encountering Robbers
"Oh, did Young Master Ruan leave something behind?" Manager Zhang asked, somewhat surprised to see Qiao Tinghao return.
Qiao Tinghao smiled and said, "Manager Zhang, there's something important I forgot to mention earlier. If you find that the light on the voice recorder or tape recorder isn't working when you use it, it means it's out of power. Don't worry, just put it in the sun and it will automatically recharge."
Shopkeeper Zhang asked with a puzzled look, "Is that really true? It can be restored by putting it in the sun?" He really couldn't understand this novel technique.
Qiao Tinghao knew that explaining this principle clearly wouldn't be easy, so he said vaguely, "Manager Zhang, I can't explain this electrical stuff clearly in a short time. I'll explain it in detail another time! Please rest assured, the things I gave you today are fine. These can be called high-tech items, and so far, I don't think anyone can produce anything similar. If any problems arise during the warranty period, you can write to us, and we will definitely resolve them."
Although Manager Zhang was still completely bewildered, seeing Qiao Tinghao's unwavering confidence, he could only nod in agreement. After all, the items Ruan Mumu had brought out these past few times were all unique.
There was another reason why Manager Zhang was so at ease—he had sent people to investigate and found that the address Ruan Mumu had provided was correct, and the person was also correct; they were all ordinary people. Although he couldn't understand where an ordinary person could get so many extraordinary things, once the items were in his hands, they were his, and he could turn them into something even more valuable.
Qiao Tinghao quickly returned to the carriage.
"Let's go! You did a good job today, I'll buy you something nice to eat." Ruan Mumu gave the driver's seat to Qiao Tinghao and sat down next to him.
"What's so good about this place? Let's hurry home! It'll be too dark to travel back in the dark, it's not safe!" Qiao Tinghao said casually.
Ruan Mumu thought about it and agreed. They were still children, and most importantly, neither of them had recovered their martial arts skills. If something happened, Ruan Mumu could hide in her spatial dimension, but what about Qiao Tinghao?
"Brother is so thoughtful. We'll buy some steamed buns to eat on the way home," Ruan Mumu chimed in.
The two quickly left the city gate and got onto the official road, speeding towards home. After the carriage had been traveling for more than an hour, in a somewhat remote place, and since it was dinnertime and there were almost no pedestrians on the road, just as Ruan Mumu and Qiao Tinghao were getting a little sleepy, several dark figures suddenly appeared ahead.
"Robbery! Stop the car!" A raspy male voice came from ahead, and Qiao Tinghao pulled his horse back abruptly, startling Ruan Mumu out of her drowsiness.
"Brother, what happened?" Ruan Mumu scrambled to her feet inside the carriage and rushed out.
Qiao Tinghao grabbed Ruan Mumu, who was almost thrown off the carriage, and said, "Don't worry, it's just a robbery."
Qiao Tinghao's voice reached the ears of the people blocking the carriage, stinging their pride like needles and making them feel utterly despised and insulted.
"You brat, are you looking down on us?" another man's loud voice roared, filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
Ruan Mumu pretended to tremble and stood next to Qiao Tinghao, her small hands tightly gripping his sleeve, while her eyes secretly observed the situation before her. She cautiously looked at the several men in black in front of her, secretly trying to figure out their strength and intentions.
The eight men in black were dressed in black, their faces covered with black cloth. Only the leader's fierce eyes were visible; the others gripped their knives tightly, but their posture was as casual as if they were going out to chop wood. They were not tall, and their eyes and demeanor conveyed no ferocity whatsoever.
Ruan Mumu couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Are these people really the legendary robbers? They don't look like them at all... They seem more like they're just showing off." She had originally thought that robbers would be fierce and menacing, but these people were surprisingly ordinary.
Unlike Ruan Mumu, Qiao Tinghao did not underestimate his opponent. He calmly stared at him, a hint of disdain in his eyes. His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unchallengeable authority, as if telling his opponent that they were not worth mentioning.
"You few dare to rob people on the road here? You're overestimating yourselves!" Qiao Tinghao's tone was full of provocation and contempt, which instilled fear in those who heard it. He seemed to have seen through these people's true strength and knew that they were nothing more than a rabble.
The robbers were intimidated by Qiao Tinghao's imposing manner. The leader, however, tried to remain calm: "Hmph, enough nonsense! Hand over your money now, or don't blame us for being impolite!" They brandished their knives and swords, attempting to frighten Qiao Tinghao and Ruan Mumu.
A cold smile crept across Qiao Tinghao's lips, his voice icy and resolute: "If you want money, then we'll see if you have the ability!"
At that moment, Ruan Mumu quickly reached into the carriage as she turned around. However, instead of retrieving anything, she used her spatial awareness to retrieve two stun guns. She carefully handed one of them to Qiao Tinghao.
Qiao Tinghao took the stun gun, examined it carefully, and a surge of confidence and courage welled up within him. Although he hadn't regained his skills from the modern era, holding such a powerful weapon as the stun gun in his hand made him feel fearless.
No matter how powerful the enemy, he had nothing to fear as long as he had this stun gun in hand. After all, no one could escape the power of an electric shock.
"Hahaha... Kid, you actually think you can defeat us with a dark stick? You're dreaming!" The leader laughed contemptuously, looking at Qiao Tinghao with a mocking expression.
Facing the menacing bandits, Qiao Tinghao showed no sign of backing down. He fearlessly jumped off the carriage and bravely stepped forward. At the same time, he decisively switched on the stun gun, preparing for the impending battle.
Just as the robbers, relying on their numerical advantage, attempted to swarm forward, Qiao Tinghao nimbly dodged to the side. Immediately afterward, without hesitation, he swung his stun baton, attacking the lead robber's horse.
Just as the robbers were about to slash at Qiao Tinghao with their knives, Qiao Tinghao skillfully dodged to the side and then extended the stun gun towards Ma's leg.
As the stun baton touched the horse's leg, the current knocked the horse down. The horse neighed and fell straight to the ground. Due to the momentum, the bandit, who was holding a knife, was thrown away and hit a large rock. He crashed into the knife, let out a whimper, and then fell silent.
Seeing this, the other robbers stopped in shock, not daring to approach. Taking advantage of the situation, Qiao Tinghao brandished his stun gun, releasing powerful electric currents that terrified the robbers.
