The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 250 Bandit Stronghold
"Remember what you said." The scrutiny in Shang Wan's eyes faded, and she turned to Shi Tou and said, "You and Xiao Huan take Yuan Yuan with the seated sculpture, and I'll take Zhou Gua."

Although the sculpture is large, it is still just a sculpture and cannot carry so many people.

Yuanyuan needs to be on the back of the sculptor to control it.

If Shang Wan brings two people, her running speed will inevitably be affected.

All things considered, this current distribution is the best.

·
The shadows of the trees were like ghosts, and the howls of wild beasts seemed to be right next to our ears. Chencang Mountain was even more sinister and terrifying under the night sky than during the day.

A figure leaped down from a tree branch, her crimson skirt fluttering like feathers.

Shang Wan threw Zhou Gua, whom she was carrying, to the ground and looked up at the mountain peak with her superb eyesight.

The dark outline of the mountain peaks, under the moonlight, resembled a beast's claw, giving it a somewhat ferocious appearance.

Zhou Gua didn't have time to look around; he was so dizzy that he was vomiting violently while clinging to a tree trunk.

That late-night snack was a complete waste.

Shang Wan raised her hand to cover her nose and stepped aside with some disgust. "Aren't you supposed to be good at martial arts? Why are you vomiting like this?"

Zhou Gui: "..."

When he said someone's martial arts skills were good, he meant within the realm of normal people! Who's like you, running like the wind with such insane speed!

However, he only dared to shout these words in his heart, and didn't dare to say them out loud.

After vomiting until there was nothing left, he wiped his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "The boss is indeed skilled in martial arts."

Shang Wan glanced at him; he was already vomiting like this, so there was no need for her to rush to flatter him.

A sudden gust of wind ruffled her hair, and the giant eagle flapped its wings and swooped down.

Xiao Huan leaped off the eagle's back with Yuan Yuan in her arms, followed closely by Shi Tou.

Shang Wan caught the baby who jumped into her arms and asked the two of them, "How is it up the mountain?"

Just now, Shang Wan told the three of them not to get off yet, but to sit on the eagle and observe the entire mountain range to see where the bandit camp was most likely to be hidden.

"I can't see clearly." Xiao Huan's face turned pale.

Before she boarded the eagle's back, she didn't feel anything was amiss; in fact, she was quite excited about flying. But once the eagle was actually in mid-air, the feeling of being helpless all around, as if she would fall off at any moment, suddenly made her afraid.

It takes real courage to even manage to look down a few times.

Shi Tou also shook his head. He wasn't as afraid of heights as Xiao Huan. Although he was scared at first, he eventually dared to look down.

However, he didn't have Shang Wan's exceptional eyesight, and to avoid alerting the eagle, he didn't dare fly too low. So even when he looked down, he only saw some trees, two pools of water, and a waterfall; he didn't find anything else.

Shang Wan didn't really expect much from the two of them; she had them watch the rest of the video mainly to test their courage.

"Sweetie, let's go up and fly again." Shang Wan patted the baby in her arms.

A small, round head bobbed up, a glint of something extraordinary flashing in its eyes.

The eagle let out a cry.

Zhou Gua was still squatting on the ground, with Xiao Huan and Shi Tou completely blocking his view.

Zhou Gui: "..."

He also wanted to try flying!

Shang Wan picked up Yuan Yuan and jumped onto the eagle's back.

The giant eagle spread its wings and flew into the sky, creating a whirlwind that made the three people on the ground squint.

A quarter of an hour later, the two people and the eagle landed.

Yuanyuan reached out her little hand and touched the feathers on the eagle's wing. The sharp tip of its tail cut her delicate skin, and two drops of blood seeped out.

The eagle lowered its head, its sharp beak deftly pecking away the blood droplets, then let out two low chirps, seemingly quite satisfied.

Shang Wan took her son's chubby little hand and quietly dripped a drop of spiritual spring water onto the wound.

Her little hands immediately returned to their fair and tender state, and the small wounds on her fingers disappeared.

A strange light flashed in her eyes, and Yuanyuan waved her little hand at the eagle, "Goodbye." The eagle lowered its head, nuzzled the little baby next to it, and then spread its wings and flew away.

Xiao Huan and Shi Tou then came over and asked, "Sister, have you seen the bandit camp?"

Zhou Gua also came over to listen.

Shang Wan nodded: "The bandit stronghold should be in the mountains. I saw a lot of people playing in the pool below the waterfall, and there were also people patrolling."

Stone guessed, "Could the bandit camp be near the pool?"

Shang Wan shook her head: "It's hot, these people are probably just out playing in the water to cool off. I reckon the bandit stronghold is somewhere near the mountaintop."

"Why?" asked Zhou Gua.

Shang Wan glanced at him, then pointed to her ears, "Because I heard music."

It was clearly a musical instrument played by a human, although it was hard to hear what was being played.

Xiao Huan and Shi Tou admired her sister together.

They could hear nothing but the whistling wind while sitting on the eagle's back, but her sister could hear music. What kind of ears does she have?

Zhou Gua swatted a mosquito and asked, "Shall we go up the mountain now?"

"No rush, the guide hasn't arrived yet." Shang Wan waved her hand, took out the herb bag, and had the group hang it on their bodies.

This is a herbal sachet for repelling mosquitoes, prescribed by the divine physician Duanmu. It has a remarkable effect on mosquitoes and was a best-selling item at Lingyao Pavilion last month.

The reason it didn't continue to explode this month is because it was copied by someone else, who sold it for a lower price than Lingyao Pavilion.

However, most people still prefer to buy from Lingyao Pavilion, because they feel that the herbal packs from Lingyao Pavilion are more effective.

This is probably what word-of-mouth and brand effect mean.

Zhou Gua assumed that Shang Wan had taken it out of the small bundle Yuan Yuan was carrying, and without thinking much of it, hung it on his body.

In no time, the mosquitoes that had been swarming around him, ready to bite, all disappeared.

With the annoying buzzing gone, Zhou Gua finally remembered to ask, "Is anyone else traveling with us?"

Actually, the big boss isn't that fierce; he gathered other people, right?
Xiao Huan and Shi Tou didn't speak, and Shang Wan only glanced at him.

Zhou Gui:? ? ?
He soon realized he had been overthinking things; the boss was just that ruthless!
He pointed to the sparrows flying ahead, "Is this the one who led the way?"

So surprised and excited, even his voice was trembling.

Who the hell is so genius as to let a sparrow lead the way?

Yuanyuan puffed out her cheeks and looked at him, her face full of displeasure.

What's wrong with the sparrows?
Zhou Gua didn't understand why the little baby was glaring at him, but that didn't matter. He stared at Shang Wan, wanting an explanation.

Are they really not just playing house?

Shang Wan completely ignored him.

Shi Tou raised his hand and patted Zhou Gua on the shoulder: "Come with us, my sister won't joke about the caravan."

Zhou Gua sighed silently to himself and could only follow.

The sparrow, the lead bird, was quite dutiful, guiding Shang Wan and her group through a maze of twists and turns until they were nearly dizzy before finally arriving at the bandit stronghold.

"Thank you." Yuanyuan took an apple out of her small bundle and fed it to the sparrow.

Watching the sparrow intently pecking at the apple, Zhou Gua was completely speechless.

Can an apple really get a sparrow to do something for you?

"The village is heavily guarded. Yuanyuan and I can get in, but it will probably be difficult for you." Shang Wan returned after running around and told the people waiting there what she had seen.

They exchanged glances. They were already at the entrance to the stronghold; no matter how difficult it was, they had to go in.

If it weren't for the need to avoid alerting the enemy and the large number of hostages, Xiao Huan would have suggested storming in.

Shang Wan looked at the three of them and said, "These bandits not only kidnapped the caravan members, but also many passersby. Tomorrow is the bandit leader's wedding, and they plan to kill all of these people to celebrate."
