Above the vast sky, the stars are dim and the dark night covers the earth.

After a day's journey, everyone was tired after eating and drinking. After discussing who would keep watch tonight, they all went to sleep.

However, the strong men who were on guard felt particularly sleepy tonight. They tried to keep their eyes open and stare around, but they closed their eyes unconsciously and fell asleep.

In the carriage, the baby was sleeping soundly in a red bellyband. Xie Tianjiao and Wu Ce were sitting on both sides, leaning against the carriage and taking a light nap.

Outside the carriage, Wang Hao took a straw mat from the top of the carriage and spread it on the ground.

Lying side by side on the straw mat with Qi Xuyao ​​and Zhang Zhilin, we quietly enjoyed the night.

The other people in the village didn't dare to get too close to them, so naturally they didn't notice them. The villagers were all asleep.

Qi Xuyao ​​looked at the dim starlight and said leisurely, "I used to think that the most magical thing in the world was immortality. I didn't expect that there would be something even more magical, that I would come to another world with you guys."

Wang Hao put his hands behind his head and crossed his legs: "Anyway, we don't have any relatives in the original world, so there's nothing to worry about. I think the current life is pretty good, as long as we are together."

Zhang Zhilin lay quietly on the side, his long hair tied up high after traveling through time. Under the loose hair on his forehead, his handsome face like a banished immortal and his deep and unfathomable eyes made him look even more mysterious in the night.

At this moment, a rustling sound came into his ears.

His whole body tensed up instantly, which was noticed by Qi Xuyao ​​who was beside him.

"what happened?"

"Someone is approaching!"

Without Zhang Zhilin's reminder, Qi Xuyao ​​and Wang Hao heard many footsteps approaching them.

Bandits!

They knew who the visitor was without having to guess.

The tacit understanding between the three of them made them not get up immediately, but pretend to be asleep.

Then I heard someone talking.

"The boss is really good at predicting things! When he saw that the puddle was empty, he knew he could make a fortune tonight."

"Yes, yes, the boss is really smart. He put the sleeping pills in the water in advance. After they drank the water and fell asleep, we moved all their stuff away. We got so many things for free without any effort. By the time they woke up, we had already run away."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and search for food, untie the horses and take them away. Life is getting worse these days. Otherwise, we wouldn't have become bandits. It's better for them to sleep like this. If they wake up, we will have to kill them."

"They don't have many people, but the food is pretty good. They even have donkey meat. I can have a good meal now."

"Hurry, hurry, move out quickly."

After hearing this, the three of them had nothing unclear about it. It turned out that the water they were looking for today was a trap set by someone in advance.

The boss as these people call him is really smart.

Fortunately, they were already drinking water in the space, and the fetched water was used for washing. Otherwise, by the time they woke up, all their belongings would be gone.

"Look, there's a carriage here!"

Hearing this, the three men stopped pretending to sleep because their daughter was still in the carriage.

In just a few breaths, the three of them stood up one after another and dealt with the bandits who were nearby.

The sudden movement startled the bandits.

"Come quickly, these three people are not drugged, catch them quickly!" a gangster shouted loudly.

In the carriage, Xie Tianjiao and Wu Ce opened their eyes and listened vigilantly to the noise outside the carriage. They did not go out, but quietly watched over the fat baby who seemed a little uneasy after hearing the noise but had not woken up yet.

Xie Tianjiao gently patted the chubby baby with his big hands, trying to comfort her.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the baby grabbed his big hand, opened his little mouth and sucked his fingers, grinding his teeth from time to time.

Xie Tianjiao looked at his daughter with amusement, what a carefree girl she is.

But you can't eat his hands like this.

Xie Tianjiao gently scratched the fat baby's double chin with his other big hand. After a while, the baby loosened his teeth and let him pull his hand out smoothly.

The sounds of fighting outside gradually died down. Wu Ce lifted a corner of the curtain inside the carriage and looked out. He saw that except for Zhang Zhilin and the other three, almost everyone else had fallen to the ground.

A few others, seeing that the situation was not good, fled towards the mountain.

The carriage was opened and Qi Xuyao ​​got in.

Without waiting for them to ask, he said, "About 50 people came, and we knocked them all down. A few escaped."

"Aren't those villagers awake yet?" Xie Tianjiao asked.

Qi Xuyao ​​shook his head: "He was drugged and didn't wake up."

Xie Tianjiao's eyes were covered with a layer of coldness: "These people have been relying on us all the way. They think of us as their bodyguards and thugs. Even if they were drugged, it's also because they were not vigilant."

"It's time to separate from them." Wu Ce said after a moment of silence.

Xie Tianjiao nodded: "It is indeed time to separate, but we should set out to the mountains to wipe out the bandits' lair first, otherwise they will become trouble if we stay here."

Qi Xuyao ​​smiled.

"I've been waiting for you two to say this. Let's go and destroy the bandits' lair. This will be the best we can do for these people."

"Once we cross this mountain, the Xiongnu will not be able to attack us for a while. At least they will be safe. What happens next is entirely up to them. Anyway, Master Qi, I don't want to be your bodyguard anymore."

In fact, if the people in Yuhe Village were more reliable, they would not abandon them halfway.

But he had no use for these people! Seeing that they were good at fighting, he wanted to let them protect him, and he was not vigilant at all along the way.

Originally, taking them away from Yuhe Village was also saving their lives, preventing them from dying at the hands of the Huns.

They didn't owe them anything, so why should they protect them?

It would be better to join a reliable team later.

Since they had already made the decision, they did not delay any longer and gently woke their daughter up.

"Daddy, I want to sleep...don't touch Nian Nian..." The soft and tender voice of a baby with a hint of grievance sounded in the carriage.

Seeing that the other two people in the carriage were reluctant to wake her up, Qi Xuyao ​​simply went up and held the baby in his arms.

The baby's tiny body leaned in his arms as if it had no bones, its chubby little face resting on his shoulder, its eyes still closed.

Because she was wearing a bellyband, her chubby back was exposed.

"Dad, don't disturb Nian Nian..." she muttered softly.

Qi Xuyao ​​held the lazy boy in his arms with amusement, and responded verbally: "Okay, okay, I won't bother you, but the dads are going to beat the bad guys and collect the treasures later, are you sure you don't want to come with us?"

"Huh? Collect the treasure?"

The fat baby's upper body straightened up instantly, and his big eyes were filled with confusion.
