Among the ten bandits, one had a bow and arrows.
As soon as the carriage turned the around, arrows flew from behind them. But the rear of the carriage should withstand a barrage for a while.
Their horses were all top-quality. As long as they charged through, they could shake them off.
The coachman gritted his teeth, "Hyah!"
The carriage sped away.
"Boss! They"re getting away!" One bandit said.
"Humph." The bandit leader s.n.a.t.c.hed the bow and arrows from his subordinate"s hand and shot it towards the direction of the carriage!
He wasn"t targeting the carriage"s panel but its wheel.
With two loud cracks, the right wheel broke, and the carriage overturned without warning.
Old Master Meng hurriedly protected the child in his arms.
The carriage flipped, and all three fell out of the carriage.
Old Master Meng said to the coachman, "You go report to the authorities!"
"Master!"
"Go!"
"Yes!"
The coachman took hold of a horse, mounted it and headed towards the nearby woods.
The bandit leader sent one person to chase him, while the rest rode forward and surrounded Old Master Meng.
Old Master Meng looked extremely disheveled from the fall, but his gaze showed no sign of weakness. He coldly addressed the group, "You want money, right? I"ll give it to you."
"Well, well, that"s more like it." The bandit leader hoisted his big blade onto his shoulder and casually looked at him, "I don"t want to kill today. Consider yourself lucky. Hand over the money."
Old Master Meng took off his money pouch and tossed it to him.
The bandit leader opened it and looked inside, then disdainfully said, "This is all you"ve got?"
"Boss." His subordinate pointed to Little Jing Kong in Old Master Meng"s arms, "There"s a kid."
The bandit leader quickly looked at Little Jing Kong.
Old Master Meng shielded Little Jing Kong with his sleeve.
One of the bandits said, "It"s a boy. Remember that guy? He"s been wanting a son all along. Let"s sell this kid to him!"
The bandit leader frowned, "He"s so dark. Can we even sell him?"
The subordinate grinned, "A little scrubbing and he"ll be fine!"
"Fine, better than nothing." The bandit leader pointed his large blade at Old Master Meng. "Bring him over here."
Old Master Meng protected Little Jing Kong. "If you want money, I have it at home. Follow me to get it!"
The bandit leader sneered, "Do I look like someone so easily fooled? Go with you? And wait to be discovered by the authorities? You." He pointed to his subordinate, "Bring the child over!"
"Yes!"
The subordinate dismounted and tried to grab Little Jing Kong from Old Master Meng"s arms.
Old Master Meng blocked him with his hand.
The bandit leader said, "Don"t damage his arms, or we won"t be able to sell him!"
"Yes, boss!" The subordinate drew the long knife from his waist and ruthlessly swung it towards Old Master Meng"s hand!
Since they couldn"t harm the child, they would harm the old one!
Anyway, they couldn"t make money from the old one!
Just as the blade was about to fall, there suddenly came a chilling falcon’s cry from the sky. Before anyone could react to where the cry came from, they saw a black shadow diving down from the night sky like a bolt of black lightning, swooping towards the one holding the long knife.
The next moment, the long knife in his hand dropped, and he fell to the ground, covering his eyes, "My eyes——"
The gyrfalcon had pecked out one of his eyes.
Seeing this, the bandit leader"s eyes narrowed. He drew his bow and arrow and aimed at the gyrfalcon.
Just then, Little Jing Kong woke up, and upon opening his eyes, he saw someone about to shoot Little Nine.
He jumped up, "Don"t shoot Little Nine! Otherwise, I won"t be polite to you!"
But who would listen to a child"s words?
The bandit leader drew his bowstring fully.
Little Jing Kong took out the black gunpowder ball he had stolen from his bad brother-in-law and threw it out!
With a bang, the air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur.
"Huh?" Little Jing Kong looked at the intact bandit leader.
"You threw... the wrong way." Old Master Meng, now charred black, spat out a puff of black smoke expressionlessly.
"Oh no, my mistake, my mistake!" Little Jing Kong scratched his head, then took out another black gunpowder ball.
Then he blew up Little Nine.
Little Nine"s feathers were all scorched: "Chirp!"
Little Jing Kong took out a third black gunpowder ball, then blew himself up.
Little Jing Kong, with smoke coming out of his mouth: "......"
"Hahaha!"
The bandits had never seen such a foolish kid before, and they laughed so hard they bent over.
With a thud, one bandit laughed himself off his horse and fell to the ground.
Thud!
Another bandit laughed and fell.
Thud thud thud!
Finally, the bandits realized something was wrong.
Another bandit hastily covered his nose with his arm, "Not good! It"s a smoke bomb!"
The black gunpowder b.a.l.l.s made by Gu Jiao for Xiao Heng didn"t have much destructive power and wouldn"t blast people to death. However, they contained a sedative capable of quickly immobilizing the opponent.
This sedative affected everyone indiscriminately, including their own side.
Xiao Heng had the antidote.
Unfortunately, Little Jing Kong didn"t know that. He only stole the black gunpowder b.a.l.l.s.
Without exception, all the bandits were knocked out, and so was Old Master Meng.
The sedative only affected humans, so Little Nine remained unaffected.
Little Jing Kong... Little Jing Kong wasn’t knocked out either.
Little Jing Kong scratched his little head and exclaimed, "Why did they all fall down?"
He bounced over to Old Master Meng and squatted down, "Grandpa, grandpa!"
Even the bandits couldn"t resist its medicinal effects, let alone Old Master Meng. Old Master Meng was unresponsive.
Little Jing Kong sighed, "Forget it, I"ll go find JiaoJiao myself."
This grandpa was a good person, so he wouldn"t leave him behind. JiaoJiao was highly skilled in medicine, so Little Jing Kong decided to take the grandpa with him to find her.
He grabbed Old Master Meng"s collar, like he was holding a sack, and silently walked forward.
"Little Nine, let"s go."
If Gu Jiao were here, she would surely be surprised. Little Jing Kong"s strength had increased significantly, effortlessly dragging Old Master Meng along.
Little Jing Kong didn"t know the exact location of Tianqiong Academy, so he could only wander aimlessly forward.
He walked through quiet long streets and traversed dark alleyways, with the fire burning in his heart guiding him steadfastly.
After walking for who knows how long, he became tired, hungry, and sleepy.
He held onto the grandpa and yawned softly, "JiaoJiao, where are you?"
Wuu wuu, he really couldn"t walk anymore.
His little legs weren"t his own anymore.
His little hands were sore too.
He missed JiaoJiao.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Jing Kong?"Raz P."s Thoughts

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:
Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don"t abandon me, alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn"t finished his lines yet though…
