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

Chapter 69: Robbing the Robbers' Lair

Tian Xing'er and his companions took away all the money and some food from the robbers' lair. They took away everything they could, and almost emptied the place. Because there were too many things, they moved them twice. In order not to affect their journey, they did not take some things with them, but almost all the valuables were taken away. The Fang family was a little surprised to see that Tian Xing'er and his companions brought back so many things. They did not expect that they could take down the robbers with just these few people. They could not help but sigh in their hearts.

"Okay, everyone is tired tonight. It will be dawn in another hour. Let's get some more sleep and set off again at noon tomorrow." After the team came back, Tian Zhenwei ordered them to rest.

"Brother, you didn't invite me to such an interesting fight this time. Don't leave me behind next time." Jiang Jin listened to Jia Xin talking about tonight's action. He had been envious of his brother in the camp all night. He finally waited for his brother to come back and asked him to take him with him next time.

"What do I take you to do? Go and keep watch. I'm tired and going to bed. Keep watch over you well." Tian Zhenwei didn't indulge him and went to bed directly.

The Jia family slept the best that night. After listening to Jia Xin's description, they continued to sleep peacefully and did not get involved in other things. So they got up early this morning and helped make breakfast. Knowing that everyone was tired last night, they moved slowly.

Miss Fang got up early and chatted with Jia Xin's family with her maid to inquire about the situation of Tian Xing'er and his team. Tian Xing'er got up at 12:00 p.m., while the others had already gotten up and were sitting around or busy with their own things.

"Sister, you are finally awake! I will go get you breakfast now." When Baozhu saw Tian Xing'er wake up, she hurried to prepare breakfast, while Baoyu brought the toiletries.

After Tian Xing'er had finished cleaning up and had her meal, Miss Fang came over and said, "Good morning, Miss Tian."

"Good morning, Miss Fang. Did you sleep well last night?"

"I slept well, thank you. Miss Tian, ​​are we leaving at noon?"

"Yes, everyone, get ready and we'll set off soon."

"Okay." Miss Fang came over to say hello to Tian Xing'er. She had already been notified of the departure time. "Miss Tian, ​​I have one more thing. We still have two days of travel left, and I'm a little worried that there might be danger on the road."

"Oh, Miss Fang, how did you know?"

"I'm sorry Miss Tian, ​​I didn't explain the situation clearly yesterday. I thought that the robber last night might be targeting me. I was afraid that what I did last night didn't succeed and the other party might continue to take action. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you the truth." Miss Fang thought about it for a long time last night and decided to confess today. Otherwise, if something really happened and the other party got angry, they would really have no one to help them.

"Then how many people do you expect? Are they powerful? How do they compare to my people?" Tian Xing'er didn't say that she would forgive her, but she took the people over. If the problem is not serious, she will help. Otherwise, they are afraid that they will really die. But all this is to protect themselves first. She doesn't want to be a bad person, even if she gives you money, it will be useless.

"They should be just ordinary robbers, similar to those people yesterday." Miss Fang didn't dare to hide anything anymore.

"Will they poison you or something? Have you ever encountered this?" Suddenly, Tian Xing'er imagined some plots from novels in her previous life. She was not afraid of open attacks, but she was afraid of this kind of despicable means.

"This, this I don't know, but no one has done this yet. Poisoning and buying medicine should be easy to be discovered. I think the possibility is smaller." Miss Fang was asked for a moment. She never thought that someone would do such a thing, but she kept it in her heart and decided to be more careful in the future.

"Okay, I'll go ask my uncle Zhenwei. Don't worry, we will take you with us. Anyway, there shouldn't be any big problems on the journey ahead." With that, Tian Xing'er went to find Tian Zhenwei.

"Uncle Zhenwei, do you think someone might have poisoned us at the tea stand where we were resting? I didn't expect saving someone would be so troublesome. If I had known, I wouldn't have brought them with me last night. We also have to ensure the safety of Jia Dazuo and the others."

"Don't worry, we have experience, but I will ask the people below to be careful. There should be a small town ahead after another afternoon of walking, so we just need to be careful then. These things in the mountains are no problem for people like us. Okay, you go and get ready, we are ready to set off, and you, a kid, don't need to worry about so many things." With that, Tian Zhenwei drove Tian Xing'er away, but he kept her words in mind and notified the people below to be careful.

Soon after everyone had a simple lunch they set off. They wanted to reach the town ahead before dark, otherwise they would have to stay in the woods again tonight. The team hurried along the way without rest and finally arrived at the town. There was no teahouse opened by Tian Xing'er and her friends here, so she could not get any information from the outside world.

The group found a cheap hotel to stay in. Tian Xing'er specifically asked them to stay far away from the Jia family and the Fang family to prevent any accidents. Fortunately, nothing serious happened that night. I just heard that other guests seemed to have encountered thieves last night, but fortunately they found out in time and their things were not stolen. No one took it seriously. Tian Xing'er only found out about it when Baozhu and the others told her in the morning.

Yesterday, Tian Xing'er had nothing to do, so she asked Jia Dazuo and others to help her make a simple small fire gun, which was fixed on a bracket, and the height and direction could be adjusted. A small round barrel container was tied on it, and then fireworks were placed in a container and fired. Jia Dazuo listened to Jia Xin's story last night and was also very interested in this small fire gun. He even helped Tian Xing'er make several of them with Jia Xin at night, and prepared to test them on the road when they set out today.

Because they had a good rest yesterday, Tian Zhenwei planned to let everyone set off early today. The group left the hotel at 11:00 a.m. and continued on their way. At noon, they rested in a forest again. As soon as they stopped to rest, Jia Dazuo and his son wanted to try their works, and Tian Xing'er and Jiang Jin also followed. Tian Zhenwei actually wanted to watch, but after all, he had to take care of the overall situation, so he had to stay and watch.

"Jia Dazuo, this location is good. It's far away from the town and there's no one nearby. Let's try the musket." After a long time of searching, everyone finally found an open place. Tian Xing'er was anxious to let Jia Dazuo start the experiment.

"Yes, Dad, this position is fine, let's try it here." Jia Xin also looked excited.

"Okay, this is it? Wait, you guys stand at the back, be careful not to get hurt." Jia Dazuo was also very excited. It was the first time he made this musket, so he was very serious. He found a flat place, adjusted the position of the "Y"-shaped bracket and put the bamboo arrow on it. After making sure the tube on the bamboo arrow was fixed, he carefully placed a specially made short firework that was smaller than the tube and twice as thick as ordinary fireworks. Finally, everything was in place.

"Quick, Jia Dazuo, try aiming at the big tree in front and see how powerful it is." Jiang Jin was getting so anxious watching from the side that he wished he could operate it himself.
