Chapter 189 The Ambush
"We are also planning to set off tomorrow. We happen to be going the same way for a while. If you two are willing, we can travel together." Bao En was not surprised that the Tian brothers and sisters left so quickly. After all, because of him and Li Da, they had already wasted quite a bit of time here.
"No need, we'll just follow our own schedule. We may stop to buy something on the way, so we don't want to delay you." Tian Xinger interrupted their conversation. She didn't want to go with them for fear that something might happen in the middle.
"Well, take care of yourselves tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Bao."
After Tian Xing'er and the others returned, they started to pack up. They had already bought all the things they needed during the day, so there was nothing else they needed. They just wanted to go home quickly.
In order to avoid Bao En and his group, the Tian family set out before dawn.
When the sun came out, there were not many pedestrians on the road. "Tian Yuheng was also a little tired at this time. They had been walking for more than two hours. They had digested the food they had eaten in the morning and were a little hungry.
"Okay, brother, let's stop in the woods ahead. We can get some shelter from the sun there."
Finally, she could sit on the ground. In fact, Tian Xing'er was also very tired. If the maids hadn't helped her massage, she would have collapsed long ago.
It was also the first time for them to travel in such a hurry. In order not to get involved with Li Da and the others, Tian Xing'er asked the whole team to move forward at full speed without any rest in the middle. Now that they stopped, everyone could take a good rest and drink some water.
"It's almost autumn harvest time, and the weather is too hot. The further north we go, the hotter it gets." Tian Zhenwei took a sip of water and said.
"Yeah, I don't know what will happen after the autumn harvest. I hope everyone is fine. The ordinary people are the ones who suffer the most." Tian Yuheng thought of what his elder brother said and felt emotional for a moment.
"Second Master is right. No matter who owns the world, it is the same for the common people. All they want is to have enough food to eat."
"Um."
The two seemed to be talking casually, yet there seemed to be some hidden meaning behind their words.
The crops seem to be growing well this year. People working in the fields are all smiling. I hope it will be a bumper year.
"Second Master, Xing'er girl, you two should have a good rest. I'll go take a look around." Tian Zhenwei looked at the fields on both sides in the distance and suddenly felt like walking around and taking a look.
"Let me go with you. I also want to go and take a look." Tian Yuheng stood up, thinking of going to the front together.
"Then you guys go. I don't want to leave. I'll wait for you here. Come back early. We have to set off soon." Tian Xing'er muttered a few words and then ignored them.
Ask Baozhu and Yuju to take out the snacks they made yesterday. It is a good time to eat them now, otherwise they will go bad if left for too long.
Here, Tian Xing'er was eating while enjoying the breeze, enjoying the rare comfort.
"Baozhu, Baoyu, you see, the land in the north is so big, much bigger than our hometown. It's just a little empty, and there are not enough trees. It's too quiet. When autumn comes, the leaves fall off and it becomes ugly." Tian Xing'er is still enjoying it here.
Then she saw her second brother and Tian Zhenwei walking back. When they got closer, Tian Xing'er asked curiously, "Second brother, why did you come back so soon? Didn't you say you wanted to take a good walk? We didn't travel too far, and the way back wasn't too far."
"Xing'er, let's not talk about it for now. Come on, get in the carriage, we will talk to you on the way." As soon as Tian Yuheng and the others came back, they began to urge everyone to get in the carriage.
Seeing that the two looked strange, Tian Xing'er knew that something must have happened, so she stopped asking questions and asked the maids to help pack up and get on the carriage.
They drove the carriage at normal speed at first, but when they were out of sight of the village, they increased the speed.
"What's going on, second brother? Can you tell me now?" Tian Xing'er had been holding it in for the whole time, but finally asked.
"Xing'er, listen to me. Didn't Uncle Zhenwei and I just go to the village ahead? Do you know what we found?"
Tian Yuheng's hesitant look made Tian Xing'er feel itchy.
"Brother, just tell me quickly, what did you see that scared you so much? Did something happen?"
"Yes, that's right. Uncle Zhenwei said that he found many outsiders in that village. We walked around there several times but didn't see any children or women. Those people didn't look like they were from that village. He also said that some of them looked like the people who came to kill Li Da that night."
"What? Then, what about those villagers? Will they be okay?"
“I’m afraid all the villagers are gone, and there’s nothing we can do.”
"What, then, have they discovered you and Uncle Zhenwei? Will we alert them?"
"We didn't hide from the people who entered Uncle Zhenwei's room that night. I think they probably didn't see us. But we don't know whether we alarmed them or not. That's why we have to leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late and no one will be able to leave."
"Okay." Tian Xing'er was also shocked when she heard what Tian Yuheng said. There were only a few of them, and many of them didn't know martial arts. The other side were all good killers. If all the people in the village were killed, then the people in the village might be those people now, and they were not a small number. They didn't have the ability to escape from the siege of so many people.
Tian Yuheng looked behind the carriage and found that no one seemed to be chasing them. He felt relieved and began to comfort his sister.
"It seems that they haven't caught up with us. I wonder if they have set up an ambush somewhere to wait for Li Da, Bao En and others to fall into their trap? Now we can only pray that they will be safe. After all, we are really powerless in our current situation!"
"Li Da's injuries haven't healed yet. If they set out today, do they have a chance of escaping successfully?" Tian Xing'er couldn't help but feel worried, thinking to herself: I finally pulled these two people back from the brink of death, they won't be killed like this, right?
"However, fortunately, Bourne should have brought a lot of people this time, so perhaps the situation won't be too bad. But right now, the first thing we have to do is to ensure our own safety. As for other things, we can only let nature take its course and leave it to fate."
Although no one was chasing them, Tian Zhenwei still ordered the entire team to gallop forward at full speed. According to the original schedule, they should have stopped for a rest at noon, but at this moment, everyone did not dare to delay at all, and rushed straight forward all the way until they reached the place where the crowd was gradually gathering, and then they slowed down a little.
