"Let's go. We have to get out of the forest before dark. Otherwise, the bandit's accomplices will catch up."
Qin Lang, who was nervously trying to calm down, heard footsteps coming from behind, and his mother said to him warmly.
"Um!"
Qin Lang nodded quickly in response, and then strode forward, as if there was an evil ghost chasing behind him.
Seeing this, Shi Jiang breathed out secretly. It seemed that he was still a little anxious.
Only after experiencing some things can you know whether what you are doing is right or wrong.
For Qin Lang, except for the Hunu attack and being targeted by tigers in the mountains, he had never faced death intuitively.
So I don’t know that being soft-hearted is a problem.
Facts have proved that Shi Jiang's prediction was absolutely correct.
The high and short bandits didn't come back, so the people in the village sent people down to look for them.
Unexpectedly, only two of their bodies were found.
For the one-eyed dragon, the leader of Heifeng Village, this is nothing less than a challenge to his authority.
"Go and send the brothers to look for them. Everyone who passes by our mountain today will be captured by labor and management. I will skin them and avenge them."
The one-eyed dragon slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and then roared.
His men responded and went in two directions to look for the people who passed by them today.
After walking out of the forest, before Shi Jiang and Qin Lang could be happy, Shi Jiang's expression changed drastically.
She heard many chaotic footsteps behind her, approaching quickly from far away.
"Walk."
Shi Jiang pulled Qin Lang and ran away, wishing he had two more legs.
Qin Lang felt his mother's nervousness, and his face became flustered. He gritted his teeth and followed closely, not daring to look back.
After the two of them ran a few miles in one breath, they saw someone setting up camp in the distance.
Looking at the fire and several carriages parked there, as well as the flags on the carriages, it should be a caravan protected by bodyguards.
Qin Lang was suddenly pleasantly surprised and wanted to rush over there.
However, Shi Jiang grabbed him and turned around and ran in another direction.
If those behind them were really those bandits, they were too conspicuous and a complete target.
I believe that this caravan is protected by escorts and will have the confidence to fight against those bandits.
"Mom, what if those bandits come and they are unprepared?"
Qin Lang, who was pulled next door, couldn't help but turn his head and look towards the caravan, his face full of worry.
When Shi Jiang heard this, he stopped in his tracks.
Looking back at Qin Lang, knowing what happened just now, his heart was still blocked. If he left like this again this time, he would definitely be heartbroken.
"Okay, let's just run and tell them and then leave."
It would be good if the people in the caravan could listen to what he said, but I'm afraid there are those who are difficult to talk to and those who are dumbfounded.
"Go to the grass on the hill. Mom, go over and tell them that they will come to you immediately."
Hearing his mother's words, Qin Lang suddenly hesitated.
After all, his mother is his only relative, and he doesn't want anything to happen to her.
"Go quickly, I'll go back quickly."
Shi Jiang pushed Qin Lang, then turned around and ran in the direction of the caravan over there.
While running, I looked in the direction where the bandits were coming. At least for now, I haven't seen their figures yet, so it should be too late.
"Who?"
Before Shi Jiang could get close to the caravan, someone pulled out a sword and shouted at Shi Jiang warily.
"Hurry up, the bandits are coming."
Shi Jiang didn't look at the tip of the sword in front of him, he just stared at the man holding the sword and said hastily.
After saying that, he turned around and ran away without waiting for the man to react.
This made the escort stunned, and then his expression immediately changed.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?"
A short and stocky man turned around from the fire and happened to see the back of Shi Jiang running away.
"Brother, the woman said that the bandits are catching up with her."
Zhao Qingshan held the sword and said with a frown.
Hearing this, Hao Dali widened his eyes and replied.
"How is it possible? We are far away from Heifeng Village. They didn't ambush us in the mountains and forests, but they came here to rob us? Is there something weird about that woman?"
Hearing what his senior brother said, Zhao Qingshan immediately hesitated.
He raised his eyes again and looked in the direction where the woman was running, but he could no longer see her figure.
"Senior brother, no matter what, let's talk to the manager. How about we break camp and walk a little way ahead?"
Although the woman was nowhere to be seen, Zhao Qingshan still felt a little unsure, so he persuaded Hao Dali.
After hearing this, Hao Dali shook his head.
"Our tents have been set up. If we break camp and leave, the stewards will definitely object. At that time, we will probably be scolded. Why bother asking for such hardship?"
After Zhao Qingshan heard this, he pursed his lips and did not speak again.
After Shi Jiang finished speaking, he ran away. He was afraid that the other party would catch up, so he ran very fast.
It wasn't until the other party could no longer see his figure that he slowed down a little and soon found Qin Lang waiting for him on the other side of the hill.
"Mom, why haven't they made any move yet?"
Qin Lang was hiding on this hill and had a clear view of the convoy encamped below.
The mother obviously got closer and talked to the other person, but saw the other person come out and say something, and then went back again, but there was no movement at all.
When Shi Jiang heard Qin Lang's question, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Maybe you don't believe what I said."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a commotion in the convoy down the mountain, and saw a group of bandits charging towards the convoy from a distance with knives raised.
Qin Lang's eyes suddenly widened, but Shi Jiang immediately pushed Qin Lang to the ground.
Then he cautiously raised his head and looked down the hill, only to see men and horses on both sides starting a melee with swords raised.
Flesh and blood began to fly everywhere, and with every blow of the sword, a life must be harvested.
Qin Lang saw these scenes, especially the way the people in the convoy were chopped to the ground by the bandits. The scene gave him a direct impact.
He vaguely regretted that he should not have blamed his mother for being cruel before.
These bandits deserve no sympathy at all.
"Mom, what should I do?"
Qin Lang looked at the fierce battle taking place below and asked Shi Jiang with a choked tone.
Shi Jiang pressed him tightly, preventing him from moving.
"If we go down now, we will die in vain! Just wait a minute, the people in this caravan are protected by the escort master, so there shouldn't be any big problem."
After hearing Shi Jiang's calm words, Qin Lang gradually calmed down, but his eyes were staring down tightly, not daring to blink.
Sure enough, the fighting below ended quickly.
Although the caravan suffered a lot of casualties, the bandits that were chasing them were all wiped out.
Seeing that the people in the convoy were okay, Shi Jiang took Qin Lang and secretly retreated from the hill and continued towards the city.
Qin Lang has a new understanding of his mother's judgment.
From then on, there were no more doubts all the way, and Shi Jiang simply obeyed his words.
