Seeing that she would be able to get back in half an hour at most, Tao Ran tried her best to drive, but in this wilderness, someone on the road ahead signaled her to stop in the middle of the road.
That was a commoner woman.
She was holding a child in her arms, lying in the middle of the road, shouting "Help".p.
Tao Ran narrowed his eyes.
interesting.
This kind of wilderness is really a "accident-prone place"? This reminded her of the previous coachman who chose a similar environment when he attacked her unexpectedly.
There are actually women and children wandering around in this wilderness?
You can see it clearly when you get so close that it's a hundred meters ahead.
Something seemed to have happened to the child in the woman's arms. The woman also had tears streaming down her face and looked extremely sad.
"Girl, I'm injured and can't get up. Please save my seriously ill child and give me a lift! Please!"
This situation, combined with the strangeness of this land and the desolation, what emerged in Tao Ran's mind was the scene of Sun Wukong fighting the Bone Demon three times.
"A monster?" Tao Ran murmured.
So, why does this woman need her to save her child? What does it have to do with her?
So Tao Ran did not stop the carriage and continued to move forward.
One hundred meters became fifty meters, then thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...
Humph, she is a villain now! She does whatever she wants!
The carriage continued to move forward without slowing down.
When she was ten meters away from the woman, her cry for help turned into a scream.
Seeing that the carriage was about to hit her, she rolled and dodged to the side as expected. At the same time, she cursed in her mouth: "The face of a human is like that of an animal with a dark heart, and both parents will die badly."
Will Tao Ran care? She has to thank the praise. She has finally become a villain in the eyes of others. Jin Gui’s biological father and stepmother indeed deserve to die! She sounds quite happy!
But...this woman's legs and feet are not very good? Where are they injured?
You know he's a liar!
When the woman finally rolled to the side of the road to avoid the car, before she could react, Tao Ran struck out so quickly. When she passed by the woman, she had already stretched out her hands to grab her.
With a strong pull, the woman was dragged and hung onto the carriage...
The woman screamed and shouted.
Then I saw a burst of movement behind the bushes and trees in the wilderness, and suddenly a large number of people with sticks appeared.
hehe!
Is this the case where thieves encountered a robbery?
The people in front obviously did this kind of thing often, and they actually had backup plans. They cooperated in a tacit understanding, and as soon as the whistle blew, they saw multiple ropes pulled up on the road ahead.
If the carriage goes straight forward, the horses' legs will get caught on these ropes.
Tao Ran had no choice but to pull the carriage to a stop.
The situation is not good, because looking at the past, there are at least twenty people coming from the other party.
At her current level, it is completely impossible to deal with so many people.
Tao Ran also pulled out a long knife in the car and placed it directly across the neck of the woman she grabbed.
She expected that if a woman could stop a car in the wilderness, she must have an accomplice. It was precisely because he was afraid of being attacked again that Tao Ran struggled to get the woman and the child into the car.
Since this woman is the first card for this gang of robbers, she should be quite important, right?
Take a gamble.
I hope these are not extremely evil people and can let her go for the sake of two lives.
If the other party didn't comply... Tao Ran would have no choice but to cut off the horse's reins with a few knives and escape on horseback... Without the restraints of a carriage, the horse could run, jump and crash, so it should be no problem to fight his way out of these thugs.
Anyway, everything in her carriage has been sold, and all the banknotes are hidden on her body. No matter how many and powerful these people are, they can't outrun the horse, right?
In this way, the most she would lose would be a car, a few pieces of clothing, and a few weapons, so it wouldn't be a big problem...
If things get worse and the horse fails to take her away, she will have to run on two legs. At worst, she will kill and run at the same time...
In order to better control the restrained woman, Tao Ran simply smashed the hilt of his knife, knocking the woman unconscious. The three-year-old child in the woman's hands also slipped and fell on the carriage floor, crying loudly.
Tao Ran stood on the carriage and pointed the big knife at the heads of the crying children and the fainted women on the ground.
"If you dare to come up again, I will kill this child and this woman directly!"
The child's cry echoed throughout the area.
To intimidate, Tao Ran's knife cut a little blood on the woman's neck...
Tao Ran made the right bet.
The momentum of the group of people who had been showing off their teeth and claws just now weakened. Some people immediately shouted "Stop", some looked at each other and hesitated, and others still shouted "Brothers, come on!"
This group of people was a complete mob. They had different opinions and started to quarrel.
Some people were unwilling to back down and complained that they were hungry, saying that the horse in front of the carriage looked delicious...
When he told her, Tao Ran realized that several people were drooling over the horse she had just bought. These people must be starving.
Now Tao Ran could tell that these were not serious bandits, otherwise his horse, which could be sold for thirty taels of silver, would never be just a piece of flesh in their eyes.
Looking at this group of people, they are all ragged and skinny. In the forest in the distance, some old people and children can be vaguely seen hiding behind the trees and watching secretly.
She also probably understood the origins of these people.
Soon, a man in his thirties came forward and subdued a guy who was trying to charge with a stick to the ground and punched him twice: "We can rob people, but we can't hurt innocent people. Especially the victims this time are ourselves.
people!"
This man obviously had some prestige, and as soon as he drank, everyone else became more honest.
Then he walked up a few steps alone and stood ten steps away from the carriage.
"Girl, please be noble and let this woman and child go. We are forced to make a living and just want to grab some money. We have no intention of hurting anyone. We won't stop you and we don't want your money. Please
Spare our people."
With that said, he motioned to the people in front of him to remove the ropes in their hands, and signaled to Tao Ran that he could leave without leaving anyone behind.
"You are a gangster, but you are moral."
Tao Ran was not in a hurry.
"Are you all refugees?"
"Most of them are. We rob, but also for everyone to survive. The world is not good, and it's all for stuttering."
"How many of you are there?"
The man obviously didn't trust Tao Ran, probably because he was afraid that she would report her to the police after she left, so he didn't say anything.
Tao Ran smiled slightly: "I'm just checking to see if the food I have around me is enough for you to share. If not, I will go into the city and buy some for you."
With that said, Tao Ran took out a pack of food she bought in the provincial capital from the car and threw it out.
With this throw, almost all the eyes of these guys holding sticks shifted to the baggage.
Seeing that it was full of pastries, everyone's eyes were opened.
Someone immediately responded to her: "There are seventy-eight of us in total. This is not enough to eat. Does the girl have anything to eat?"
"Yes! It's just that I don't have it in my car! But there is one in my city!"
