Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Ma Xianwei's men came quickly and moved away all the bodies on the ground. It was already daybreak by then, and Tian Xing'er and the others woke up. "Oh, how scary!" Tian Fu'er screamed in fear. Tian Yuze and Tian Xing'er also got off the carriage. They gasped when they saw the bodies and blood on the ground. It was terrifying to see.

Everyone was tired after a night of work, so they didn't move the carriage and luggage. Tian Zhenwei and his men were guarding the other half of the luggage. The servants found another place where there was no fighting or blood and made breakfast.

"Let's go and eat first." Tian Yuheng came over and asked everyone to eat.

When they were out, the food was simple, not too elaborate. They mainly roasted dry food and ate it with hot porridge. Everyone sat together in a circle and ate. Tian Zhenwei and Xu Laoer came to find County Magistrate Tian to eat together. Seeing that they finished eating in a few bites, County Magistrate Tian quickly drank up the porridge in his bowl, put down the cake in his hand, and asked, "Brother Zhenwei, do you have anything to say?"

"Yes, it is true. The main reason is that I think the arrival of the people from the county government office yesterday was a bit of a coincidence. Moreover, when they came, they did not resist at all and just killed everyone. Even the two people in the county government office died by such a coincidence. This inevitably makes people a little concerned."

"Yes, I had the same idea. However, their coming here may have something to do with my eldest son. When we were in the teahouse before, we also sent a message for rescue, but we didn't expect that people from Chang Gung County would come, and they came at the right time. When we get to the next county, we will know the specific situation."

"Okay, since you already have an idea, that's good. We also want to be safe. Then we will leave early after dinner. Today, everyone will be tired and walk a little to the next post station. We will work harder during the day and rest less, so we can reach the post station before dark."

"Okay, the rest of the journey depends on you, brother Zhenwei." County Magistrate Tian said with a smile.

"My lord, you're welcome."

Tian Xing'er and the others listened to the conversation between the two and were also curious about what happened last night. They wanted to get to the next county town as soon as possible, so they ate faster. After dinner, everyone prepared to rest for a while before setting off again. County Magistrate Tian chatted with Tian Zhenwei and the others about other things.

"Sister, Fu'er, let's go. We'll take Master Jiu to the front to play." Tian Yuze suggested.

"Okay, let's go." Tian Fuer clapped his hands happily. They had been driving all the way and were so nervous yesterday. It was great to have some fun today.

"You take Master Jiu over there first, I'll go to the carriage to find the ball." Tian Xing'er wanted to go back to the carriage to get the ball.

"Miss, I'll go." Baozhu said.

"It's okay, I'll go by myself. I seem to have left something in the carriage, but I can't remember it for the moment. I'll go look for it." Tian Xing'er always felt that she had to go there, as if something was attracting her.

Tian Xing'er went to their carriage by herself, but as soon as she entered, she saw a knife on her neck. It was the robber from yesterday. He looked pale because he was injured, but for Tian Xing'er now, it was just as fatal. I don't know when he escaped the massacre and climbed into their carriage in the morning. He looked at Tian Xing'er and asked her to send the people outside away.

"Bao, Baozhu, you go find our brother and the others first and tell them that I won't be coming over. Also tell Master Jiu not to come looking for me. I'll just rest in the carriage. I'm too sleepy." Suddenly, Tian Xing'er sent Baozhu away from the carriage.

"Yes, young lady." Seeing that everyone around her was from her family, Baozhu went to look for Tian Yuze and the others, but before leaving, she first found Baoyu to look after the young lady, and then went to find Tian Yuze and the others.

"Uncle, please don't kill me." At this time, only Tian Xing'er and the robber were left in the car. She was so scared that her hands were shaking. She was thinking quickly about how to delay time and wait for Master Jiu to come. She knew that Master Jiu would come to find her if he saw that she hadn't come yet. "Are you injured? I can find someone to get you medicine."

"Little girl, don't worry about it." The man said angrily while holding back the pain. "Don't you have medicine for wounds here?" He took out the medicine from the drawer beside his seat, tried it on his hand, and then poured it on the wound on his stomach.

After hearing his words, her heart sank even more. She didn't want to die, she had to save herself. She continued to persuade him, "Uncle, look, I'm my father's daughter, he loves me so much, I don't have any strength, I'm no threat to you, do you want to leave? Then you can use me as a hostage and let my family release you. As long as you run far away and then release me, okay? I'll let my father and others give you a lot of money."

The robber listened and thought it was feasible, but he had no strength to drive the carriage now, and it would be best if no one knew they were leaving. Seeing the robber's expression, Tian Xing'er felt that he had a chance, and was about to continue lobbying when Baoyu came over. The robber also realized that there was someone outside again, so he asked Tian Xing'er, "Who is outside?"

"Miss, I'm Baoyu. Baozhu went to see the young master and his family. I came here to watch over you."

"Get her away." The robber's knife was closer to Tian Xing'er's neck. She felt so nervous that she couldn't speak. But after taking a deep breath, she asked Baoyu to stay away.

At this moment, Tian Xing'er suddenly had an idea in her mind, and she whispered to the robber, "Uncle, you are injured. How about I let my maid drive the carriage to take us away from here, and say that I am going to relax. How about that? When we are far away, you can drop us off halfway. Is that okay? I am just a child, and my Baoyu is just a young girl. We definitely can't beat you. Is that okay?" Tian Xing'er almost said please.

This idea really touched him, because if he killed the two men now, he would not be able to escape, but if he took them away, he would have a chance to escape. The robber thought about it and said, "Where is your money? Give me the money."

"Uncle, yes, we have money. My father gave it to me under the place where you took the medicine just now. But the other money is gone. We have several thousand taels of silver. The rest of the money is kept by my mother. This is my father's private money stored with us. We are still children and don't have much money. Oh, I still have a few taels of change in my purse." Tian Xing'er said, and took out her purse, which still had a few beads. She took out the money and secretly held it in her other hand. "I'll give it all to you, uncle." The robbers relaxed their vigilance against Tian Xing'er because she was young and saw that her hands were shaking with fear, so they asked her to take out the banknotes.

The robbers were also afraid that if time went on for too long, other people would notice this place, "Tell your maid to come over, drive the carriage, and take me away."

"Yes, it's uncle." Tian Xing'er burst into tears when she saw that the man was finally persuaded. The robber felt more at ease after seeing Tian Xing'er's expression. Now the wounds on his body have healed a lot after applying medicine and are not as painful as before.

Seeing that the other party was no longer wary of him, Tian Xing'er immediately called Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, I want to go for a walk around. Can you drive me around?"

"Yes, Miss," Baoyu said as he got on the carriage, turned it around, and slowly drove away from the crowd.
