Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"If they want to go with us, I naturally agree."

Again, there are advantages and disadvantages to traveling alone or with other people.

Cheng Wan also knew something about these two families, and they were both easy to get along with.

Moreover, Cheng Wan didn't drive the road, so how could she control where others went?

However, Cheng Wan looked strange and whispered: "Grandma Zhang's family and Grandma Song's family, these two families have relatives in the team, right? They won't go with their relatives?"

Mrs. Lin curled her lips, "Your grandma Zhang's sister-in-law's family didn't follow. The ones in the team are your grandma Zhang's younger siblings and their family. The relationship between the two families is not good."

Cheng Wan nodded. The relationship must be really bad. Otherwise, in ancient times when clan concepts were particularly strong, most people would not choose to separate from their relatives.

Cheng Wan looked at Wang again.

"Your Grandma Song's family is from the same clan as the village chief. I don't know why her family doesn't follow the village chief but instead follows our family."

why?

Of course Mrs. Song felt that Cheng Wan was more reliable and capable than Village Chief Jia.

In Mrs. Song's mind, her old man and eldest son are gone. Now the only ones who can take care of the family's affairs are her youngest son and her eldest grandson, who has just turned fifteen.

The family is poor and has few adult males. If he goes with Village Chief Jia and others, he will definitely not be taken seriously.

If anything happens, no one will care about them.

Moreover, although everyone now assumes that the horse belongs to her family, Mrs. Song understands in her heart.

Once her family was separated from Cheng Wan, Cheng Wan's intimidation was lost.

I definitely can’t keep the horse at home.

It will be collected by the village chief for public use in the clan, and used to carry the children or luggage of the clan.

In this case, why not just go with the Cheng family?

His youngest son was just doing a favor, so Cheng Wan gave him a horse.

Mrs. Song felt that there was no more benevolent and righteous person than Cheng Wan.

She felt reassured and at ease walking with such a person.

Just like what she asked her eldest daughter-in-law to say to Mrs. Wang, their family is obedient, do whatever they are told, and try not to hold back.

Cheng Wan didn't know these thoughts of Mrs. Song, but whether she knew or not didn't affect Cheng Wan's agreement to let Mrs. Song's family go with the Cheng family.

The sky was a little pale, and except for the night watcher who yawned sleepily, everyone else was still asleep.

Originally, after a while, everyone should get up, pack up and continue on their way, but today is different from usual.

Cheng Wan was sleeping soundly on the straw mat when he suddenly heard a piercing scream, and then felt someone pushing him hard.

"Awan! There are bandits! There are bandits!"

bandit? !

Cheng Wan opened her eyes suddenly, picked up the long knife that she kept beside her every day before going to bed, and stood up quickly.

Cheng Wan's eyes widened in horror. She saw people standing up in the distance, and then being chopped down to the ground with a knife.

The people over there are screaming crazily and running this way.

To make matters worse, Cheng Wan also saw several bandits further away carrying knives and riding horses getting closer and closer.

"Don't get in the car, and don't worry about the luggage! Run!"

The blood all over Cheng Wan's body froze.

The danger this time is different from any other time. There are so many bandits. Maybe the whole family will have to deal with it here.

At this time, the mule carts and horse-drawn carriages would definitely not be able to get out, as they would be blocked by people anxious to escape, so they might as well run with their legs.

Mrs. Lin's lips turned white and her whole body was trembling. She was pulled by Xiao Lin and ran as fast as she could while shouting in a split voice: "Awan, Daping, Erping, Xiaoyu, Sanping, Huahua, Zhuangzhuang, Yuanyuan, Don’t leave your children behind! Children!”

Cheng Daping carried Cheng Xiaoyu on his back, Cheng Erping carried Cheng Hua on his back, Wang held Li Yuan, and Deng Xiong held Cheng Sanping on one side and Li Zhuang on the other.

Aunt Cheng supported Li Sanzhu and followed the children.

Cheng Wan, Cheng Daniu, and Cheng Erniu were at the bottom.

The three of them are the family's last line of defense.

The two long knives obtained by killing the three soldiers were now in the hands of Cheng Wan and the other in the hands of Cheng Erniu.

Cheng Daniu was holding the hoe at home.

Cheng Wan followed Aunt Cheng and Li Sanzhu quickly and cautiously, always paying attention to what was happening behind them.

"My child! My child! Please, let her go, I beg you!"

"Ah! You bastards! bastards!"

"Dad! Save me! Save me!"

"mother!"

"His father!"

"I'll fight with you!"

……

"Hahahaha, brothers! Kill all the men, and keep the women and girls in warm bed!"

"Let's compete to see who kills more people today! The loser can't sleep with women!"

"I feel so happy today! I haven't felt this happy in a long time! Hahahaha!"

……

Cheng Wan's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his fists clenched and creaked.

"Mom! Let go of my mother! Ahhh! I will kill you!"

The heartbreaking cry of a boy passed through the crowd and reached Cheng Wan's ears clearly.

Cheng Wan's running steps suddenly stopped, "You go first! Don't follow!"

After saying that, Cheng Wan turned around and rushed towards the evil bandits with the knife in hand.

"I'm going to your mother!"

Just grab things, why do you have to kill people!

Cheng Daniu and Cheng Erniu screamed: "Awan! Come back!"

At this moment, Cheng Wan's heart was filled with rage, and of course it was impossible for Cheng Daniu and Cheng Erniu to stop him.

Cheng Erniu was so anxious that he jumped on the spot, "This...how can this be good?!"

Cheng Daniu grabbed the long knife from Cheng Erniu's hand with one hand, and gave the hoe in his hand to Cheng Erniu, "You protect mother and the others and leave first. I'll go find Awan! Don't follow!"

After Cheng Daniu finished speaking, he picked up the knife and ran after Cheng Wan's back.

He had said before that he would never let his daughter fight alone again.

As a father, he has to keep his word.

Cheng Erniu was so anxious that tears came out. He choked and shouted uncontrollably: "You all come back! Come back! Don't go!"

Aunt Cheng supported Li Sanzhu and stopped, looking at Cheng Erniu in fear, not knowing what to do.

Cheng Erniu stamped his feet vigorously and said fiercely: "Let's go! Wait for eldest brother and Awan to come back!"

At the same time, Cheng Wan was already fighting the bandits with a knife.

She had just saved a child from a bandit.

Cheng Wan pulled the knife out of the bandit's stomach and kicked him out.

Blood drops splashed on Cheng Wan's cheek, but Cheng Wan didn't care.

She picked up the knife and slashed the other bandit in the back.

The bandit fell to the ground with a thud and immediately lost his breath.

Waiting for Cheng Daniu to arrive panting at the "battlefield"

I saw my daughter covered in blood, as if the God of Death was alive, cutting a bandit with one knife, just like chopping cabbage.

"Awan, be careful!"

Cheng Wan bent down and dodged the knife that was slashing at her head. Then she thrust the knife back and killed another bandit neatly.

"Dad?! Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to follow me?!"

The calmness on Cheng Wan's face disappeared. It was okay for her to take risks herself, but if her relatives were injured or... died because they came to her, she would never forgive herself in her life.

Cheng Daniu didn't answer Cheng Wan's words. His usually honest and honest face showed an unprecedented fierce look. He swung his knife and rushed towards a lone bandit.

Since he chose to follow, he was naturally here to help, not to hold him back.

Killing someone to protect their family is nothing.
