"Mom, look! Is that eldest sister?"

Cheng Xiaoyu excitedly pulled Wang's arm and shook it back and forth, pointing one hand at the carriage approaching in the distance.

Mrs. Lin squinted her eyes and looked hard, and said hesitantly: "No way, the carriage that Wan drove had only one horse. Why do I see that the carriage coming this way has two horses?"

Wang couldn't help but move in the direction of the carriage, her face filled with nervousness.

Until the carriage got closer and closer, Wang's face showed a joyful smile, and she ran quickly in the direction of the carriage, shouting: "It's A Wan, it's A Wan!"

Mrs. Lin and the others also saw clearly who was coming and hurriedly followed Wang.

Cheng Wan was driving the carriage and saw Wang running towards him to take the lead, a bright smile appeared on his face.

"mother!"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang's reaction after hearing this was that her body shook again and again, and she almost fell down.

Cheng Wan was so frightened that he quickly stopped the carriage. The other horse didn't care anymore. He let go of the rope, jumped out of the carriage, and sprinted to Wang.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Wan supported Wang and asked anxiously.

Wang grabbed Cheng Wan's arm and burst into tears.

"You, where are you injured? Why is there blood all over your body and face? Ah!"

Cheng Daniu and the others also scanned Cheng Wan's body nervously and worriedly.

Mrs. Lin directly held up Cheng Wan's other arm and eagerly but gently checked Cheng Wan's arm and hand to see where the wound was.

"I'm fine, this is other people's blood."

Cheng Wan stood there obediently and let Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lin check her body, feeling a little annoyed.

You should simply clean up the blood stains on yourself on the way so that you don't scare your family.

The place where the Cheng family rests.

Cheng Wan finished talking about his experiences along the way in a few words.

The words were short, but the content shocked everyone in the Cheng family.

Mrs. Lin opened and closed her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"You...can you say a few more words? Why does it sound so, so simple?"

Cheng Wan raised his head in confusion, "I've just said it. Three soldiers came up on horseback. I killed three soldiers and hit a horse. Then I took the people behind to clean up the aftermath and moved on."

Young and old of the Cheng family: "..."

Aunt Cheng coughed and whispered, "I'll do the talking."

Aunt Cheng started talking about Cheng Wan's sudden appearance at her house, and then she gave two horses to Mrs. Song's house and continued to move forward with the team until the team stopped.

"...That's just the way it is."

After Aunt Cheng finished speaking, Mrs. Lin and the others opened their mouths and looked at Cheng Wan with shock and fear in their eyes.

"This this……"

Mrs. Lin didn't say anything for a long time.

Wang looked at Cheng Wan's blood-stained face, her eyes filled with distress.

"Ah Wan has suffered so much, it's time to be frightened."

"Forehead……"

Cheng Wan struggled for a moment and finally nodded.

Seeing Cheng Wan nodding, Wang felt even more distressed and quickly ordered Cheng Daping.

"Daping, go quickly and get some water from the river over there so that Awan can have a good wash."

"No, no, I can just go to the river and wash myself. It will save you the trouble."

With that said, Cheng Wan ran towards the river.

To be honest, the distressed and shocked looks in her family's eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The three children, Cheng Xiaoyu, Cheng Sanping, and Cheng Hua, ran after Cheng Wan.

They were worried after not seeing their eldest sister for such a long time.

I don’t want to be separated from my eldest sister again.

In place, the remaining Cheng family members were speechless for a moment.

Wang covered her lips with her hands, trying desperately to suppress her cries.

"That's killing people, Ah Wan. Ah Wan has never killed a chicken at home before."

Although there was a fight, it was completely different from killing someone!

Cheng Daniu wiped away his tears with his thumb, "Ah Wan can't help it. From now on, we will let my daughter be by our side and never let her fight alone again."

Cheng Daping and Cheng Erping were also silent. They only felt that their sister could bring them new shocks every time.

If they were at the end today and the pursuers came, would they dare to kill the soldiers immediately?

They dare not.

In the end, 80% of the time, I will go back with the soldiers honestly.

Cheng Daping and Cheng Erping looked at each other with a wry smile on their lips.

Cheng Erping patted Cheng Daping on the back, saying nothing.

Only Xiao Lin, after experiencing shock, fear, and heartache, took a sneak peek at Mrs. Song's house not far from Cheng's house, and whispered: "That horse was just given to Mrs. Song's family for free? Their family couldn't take advantage of it. too big."

Aunt Cheng hurriedly whispered: "Thanks to brother Quangui for helping A Wan block the fleeing soldiers. A Wan said that this horse is what their family deserves."

Mrs. Lin glared at Xiao Lin and said, "Shut up, you are the only one who talks a lot."

In fact, Mrs. Lin was reluctant to give away the horse, but she had already given it away, so she could no longer show dissatisfaction or regret, otherwise she would lose more of her granddaughter's share.

It was getting late, and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xiao Lin and Mrs. Cheng began to make rice in the pot.

Cheng Wan, who had washed her face and hands and walked back with her three children, felt all kinds of looks from the villagers.

Fear, fear, gratitude, admiration.

Cheng Wan understood clearly. It seemed that within a short time, the news that she had killed three soldiers had spread among the ranks.

Cheng Wan returned to the place where the Cheng family rested without squinting, and found that there were village chief Jia and his second son among his family.

"Girl Wan is back."

Village Chief Jia was helped up by his second son with some difficulty.

Maybe it was because he left his hometown and was in a hurry, or maybe it was because his eldest son's family's current situation was unknown, whether they were alive or dead. In short, Village Chief Jia looked much older.

Cheng Wan took two steps quickly, with a polite smile on his face, "Village chief, why are you here? Have you eaten?"

Village Chief Jia had a smile on his face and said, "My family is doing some work, so I came to have a chat with you."

"what?"

Cheng Wan was a little confused, but without delay, she politely asked Village Chief Jia to sit down, "Village Chief, sit down and talk."

Cheng Wan sat opposite Village Chief Jia, as if he was all ears. Surrounded by Village Chief Jia's second son, Cheng Daniu and others sat.

"That's right. I've also heard that the pursuers must return to the city before sunset, so I don't have to worry about it for today. I just don't know tomorrow..."

When Village Chief Jia spoke, there was obvious worry on his face.

Cheng Wan understood what Village Chief Jia wanted to ask, but she didn't know the exact answer and could only rely on analysis and guessing.

"Village chief, even if there is still a conscription team coming to chase us tomorrow, they will have to start again from the county seat. Unless they are all riding horses, they are moving and we are also moving. It is unlikely that they will catch up with us."

"I'm more inclined that they won't pursue us anymore. Compared with the army that King An wants to conquer, we people are like water droplets in the sea, really not worth mentioning."

"If we are in peacetime and we run away because we have committed something, then no matter what the superiors say, we will be taken back. But King An is about to go to war, and the possibility of him taking care of us is very small."

"And the city gate was forced to open today. There must be more than one or two people who successfully escaped. Our Jiajia Village is not the only village that is in trouble. I guess the leader in charge of recruiting soldiers in our area saw the soldiers coming out. If there is trouble, in order to avoid punishment from the superiors, we might discuss it with the county magistrate and conceal what happened between us and pretend that nothing happened."

Cheng Wan smiled slightly and said calmly: "I'm just guessing. I just want to say it, and you can just listen to it. Just in case, we have to go at full speed tomorrow morning."
