Cui nodded in agreement, holding a black stick tightly in her hand. This was the riot stick that Yuxiu had specially found for her. Now that Cui was pregnant, Yuxiu didn't want her to continue taking risks with the machete, so she took out this good thing that she had kept in her small supermarket.

"Hey, kid, go away..."

After settling Cui, Yuxiu pulled the reins and stopped the carriage not far from the child, and called out a few times pretending to be ignorant.

Only when she got closer did she realize that there was a little boy of about eight or nine years old lying on the ground. He had his eyes tightly closed and was breathing weakly. He looked to be in a very bad condition.

Listening carefully to the noises around her, Yuxiu narrowed her eyes. She had no intention of leaving the carriage. Instead, she flicked the whip, as if she was going to leave without caring about anything.

"How can you be so cruel, little girl?"

At this time, those who had been hiding in the dark could no longer bear it, and they all rushed out from the small jungle on the roadside. There were about ten men and women, each holding various weapons, such as hoes and sticks, and some holding kitchen knives and other things. They seemed to be disaster victims fleeing famine.

"They are so pitiful, yet you are unwilling to save their lives. I didn't expect you to be so cruel at such a young age. This is really a sin..."

"Hurry up and leave all the food and water behind. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda..."

"No, no, this carriage and horse must be kept. How can a little girl like you make such a good carriage? We don't even know if you stole something from that rich family..."

A group of people held weapons in their hands, with excitement flashing in their eyes. While verbally attacking Yuxiu, they quickly surrounded the carriage.

"If you know what's best for you, leave now and save your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Yuxiu's face darkened, and she reached out to take out the hoe from the carriage and weighed it in her hand.

"Hahaha... this little girl is really good at joking. She's not afraid of getting her tongue blown away by the strong wind..."

"You're welcome, what can she do? Let's not let her go, why don't we just keep her here? I'm still in need of a wife..."

"It looks like there are women in the carriage. If there were men, it would be a shame for a girl like her to drive the carriage..."

The group of people didn't care about Yuxiu's threat at all and rushed towards the carriage with their fangs and claws bared.

The chestnut horse stamped its hooves nervously on the ground. Yuxiu patted the horse's back to calm it, then jumped down with the hoe in hand.

"You still want me to be your wife? You can think about this in your next life!"

Yuxiu had already aimed at the laughing man, and she hit his head with the hoe accurately. All kinds of liquids splashed instantly, and before the others could even scream, their heads were also hit by the hoe.

If these people just wanted to steal some things, Yuxiu might just beat them up and leave it at that. But since they wanted to take both the person and the car, it was no wonder that she wanted to kill them.

There were a lot of crackling sounds, and the people who were hit by the hoe soon fell to the ground. Several women on the periphery were frightened by the scene, and they didn't care about anyone else. They dropped the things in their hands and rushed into the woods on the side of the road howling like ghosts and wolves.

Want to run now? late!

How could Yuxiu let them go? She quickly took out the bow and arrow from the carriage and shot a few arrows. Those people fell to the ground with screams.

The mountain road was quiet again. Yuxiu returned to the carriage and said to Cui, who was worried:

"Mom, it's okay."

Cui nodded. Yuxiu had reminded her many times before that she must not act on her own, otherwise it would cause trouble for her.

Cui was a good mother who listened to her daughter. She didn't move when Yuxiu asked her to, for fear that her daughter would be distracted by her.

After the fight, the child on the road opened his eyes. He struggled to sit up with his arms and looked at Yuxiu with some fear.

"Are they all your family?"

Yuxiu looked at him expressionlessly, thinking about what the small system had said before, and knew that this should be unlikely.

"No... not..."

Sure enough, the child quickly shook his head, looked at the corpses lying on the ground, and a smile slowly appeared in his eyes.

"My mother was killed by them, and they also captured my brother and sister. Let me come out, come out..."

His voice was getting smaller and smaller. Yuxiu saw a trace of guilt in his expression and understood what he had not finished saying. He probably wanted him to be bait to trick passers-by like Yuxiu into being deceived.

"Now that they are gone, no one will force you to do these things anymore. What are your plans for the future?"

Yuxiu looked around and didn't see anyone else, so she didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Everyone has his own destiny. Now it is a famine year, and she doesn't want to be entangled with these burdens for no reason.

"Thank you, little sister, for saving me..."

At this time, the boy had struggled to get up, and Yu Xiu could see the wounds hidden under his tattered clothes. His skin was torn and his flesh was exposed, as if he had been severely beaten.

"My brother and sister were tied up in a cave. There was some food and water there. Now that the bad guys are dead, I took my brother and sister to hide in the cave for a while until they recovered from their injuries..."

The boy dragged his weak body forward, knelt down and kowtowed to Yuxiu, then he staggered to pick at the bodies of those people and took out some food and copper coins from their arms.

"Life will be hard for a child without parents..."

Cui sighed. Maybe it was because she was pregnant again that she became extra sentimental. Seeing the child so miserable, she couldn't help but wipe her eyes with a handkerchief.

Yuxiu was sitting on the carriage. After hearing this, she thought that Cui was going to be kind enough to let her send some food out. While she was still hesitating about what to do, Cui didn't say anything else.

Even though the person was very pitiful, Cui Shi couldn't let her daughter take any risks.

The child quickly searched the people on the ground, tore off a man's coat, wrapped up the things and tied them on his back. Then he picked up the knives and hoes on the ground, bowed to Yuxiu, and this time staggered up the mountain.

Through the obstruction of the branches, Yuxiu looked upwards and saw a small cave halfway up the mountain.

"Congratulations to the host for completing this mission. May I ask if we can draw the lottery now?"
