Chapter 617 Someone is coming

"Master, what should I do?"

Yin Le handed over the long stick and sword he had taken from the carriage, and glanced worriedly outside the yard.

The sun was about to set, and it would be completely dark in a quarter of an hour. The narrow road on the cliff was too narrow for a carriage to run.

More frequent footsteps were coming from the southeast and soon arrived in front of the courtyard.

Dalang's hearing was still good, but his scalp went numb after hearing this. "Mother, how many bandits are there in this Wildcat Village?!"

"You'll have to ask that little liar." Qin Yao suddenly turned her head, her sharp eyes fixed on the little figure hiding outside the door.

"Bring him here." Qin Yao signaled to Dalang, and asked Erlang, Sanlang, and Si Niang to take down the torches on the wall, light them, and stick them on the ground in the front yard.

There were no lights on in the house, so as not to become a sitting duck. With the light from the fire in the yard, a vague outline could be seen inside the house, so it wasn't a big problem.

The people outside the door heard the noise and were so scared that they ran away.

Dalang had already seen him, so he sped up and caught him.

"Let me go!" He was quite fierce and turned around to try to bite Dalang as well.

Dalang took out a dagger and put it on his neck. Only then did the man calm down. His face was covered in blood, and under the light of the fire in the yard, he looked a little creepy at first glance.

"Mother, the person is here." Dalang brought him to Qin Yao. Before he could do anything, a smaller figure rushed out from the corner, raised his fist to hit Qin Yao, and cried, "Bad guy, bad guy, let my brother go!"

Qin Yao lowered her eyes and glanced over coldly. The little fellow suddenly trembled all over and shrank back to his brother's side in fear, tears in his eyes. He wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry out loud.

Qin Yao pointed at the big one and said, "Gou Wa, right? Tell me everything you know." She took out a delicious and crispy wheat cake like a magic trick, and sure enough, she heard the brothers' stomachs growl loudly.

"After that, I'll give you the cake."

"No need to say anything." She glanced coldly at the people lying on the ground, "You will end up like them!"

Yin Le and Erlang and Si Niang were already using the hemp ropes brought by these thugs to tie up all those who were still able to move.

The ropes were not enough, so Si Niang had an idea and poured out the unfinished drugged tea on the table and gave it to Senior Sister Le. Each of them drank a cup and lay flat in an instant.

Gou Wa shrank back and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything."

A fire lit up at the gate of the courtyard, and torches were exposed outside the courtyard wall, casting a yellow light.

There were quite a few people standing outside the door, but because the courtyard was so eerily quiet, no one dared to come forward and knock on the door.

Pretty cautious, Qin Yao complained in her heart.

Yin Le brought some dry food, and the four brothers and sisters ate the bread to replenish their energy, while trying to wake up Liu Ji, their unjust father.

Qin Yao found a stool and sat down. She put her sword back together while listening to Gou Wa's instructions.

Three months ago, a group of people came to Yemao Village and committed all kinds of atrocities, such as burning, killing, looting and so on. They killed all the elderly people in the village, captured all the men, women and children and sold them away, and then they settled down there.

This place is not that remote, but there are a lot of them. About a hundred people have replaced the original villagers of Wildcat Village. In addition, the village is closed, so all those who came to visit were knocked unconscious, taken away and sold, and it has been unknown to outsiders until now.

Gou Wa and his younger brother were the original residents of this place. Their father, mother, grandparents and two sisters were all taken away by this group of people and their whereabouts are unknown. It is said that they were sold to various illegal kilns as slaves.

When the whole village was killed, the two brothers were playing in the mountains and escaped.

But the two children always needed food, and they were discovered while stealing food. They were almost sold. It was Gou Wa who thought quickly and said he could help lure the sheep over for them to kill, and only then were the two brothers able to stay.

"Besides our family, how many other people have you deceived?" Qin Yao's tone was calm, but it made Gou Wa tremble with fear.

"Six."

"How many people were deceived in total? Where are they?"

Goudan shook his head. He didn't know how many people they had deceived, because this group of people had strict discipline and division of labor. One group was responsible for deceiving people, and another group was responsible for selling people.

This group of swindlers are divided into several groups. Some would set up traps like today, while others would walk around the countryside and cities posing as grocers or flower sellers. They would just lure people to remote places and then drug them and carry them away.

"All the sheep we got are kept in the cellar in the southeast of the village. They are sold out on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Today is the twelfth day, and the newly-acquired sheep have not been sold out yet."

Goudan added: "The group that went out will be back tomorrow. There are more than 60 people left in the village now."

So apart from those she had just dealt with and those who stayed in the cellar, there were at least thirty people outside the door.

Qin Yao, who had already pieced the sword together, suddenly felt that this was unnecessary.

However, the reason why she could survive so long in the apocalypse was that she never underestimated her enemies, and would give it her all even if it meant crushing an ant.

"Then let's practice. A Yue, Da Lang, are you full?"

The two of them quickly swallowed the last bite of the biscuit in their mouths and nodded heavily, "I'm full."

"Do you know how to break this situation where the enemy outnumbers us?" Qin Yao asked as she picked up the pancake handed to her by Si Niang and ate it herself. Feeling the eager eyes of the Goudan brothers, she asked Si Niang to give them another one.

She keeps her word. If she says she will give you one, she will give you one. She will never give you half or two.

Liu Ji didn't make many cakes, and they were not enough for her family.

Si Niang was still brooding over Goudan's deception of them, so she gave the cake very reluctantly. However, her kind heart prevented her from doing anything excessive. She placed the cake in front of the two men and left.

Father was carried back from the carriage by Senior Sister Le and was lying on the ground with the thugs. She and her second and younger brothers had tried pinching the Ren Zhong point, pressing the tiger's mouth, and slapping the face, but none of them could wake Father up. She couldn't help but feel worried.

Would this drug really harm Daddy's body? Woohoo, she didn't want Daddy to die!

Si Niang picked up the kettle, gritted her teeth, and poured it on her father's face with a splash.

Liu Ji blinked his long eyelashes and suddenly opened his eyes. Just then he heard Da Lang's answer to Qin Yao's question.

"Mother, Uncle Awang said that if you encounter this situation, the best thing to do is to run away!"

Liu Ji: What path should we take and what strategy should we adopt?

"Dad, you're awake!" Erlang, Sanlang and Si Niang squatted in front of him excitedly, their eyes full of concern.

Liu Ji was a little confused and his head was dizzy. He couldn't think at all. He just instinctively felt that something bad had happened.

He sat up slowly and looked around. There were bulging bloodshot eyes, broken hands, and wriggling humanoids.

“Ahhhh!”

Suddenly, a pig-killing scream rang out in the yard. The little thug who was about to raise his hand to knock on the door shrank his head and stepped back in fear: "Big brother, big brother, he he he."

The butchering scream frightened his men so much that they were incoherent. The one-eyed strong man known as the eldest brother sneered, "You useless bastard! I'll do it myself!"

He took a big step forward, ready to kick the tightly closed door.

He just didn't believe that two women who knew martial arts could be so powerful!

"Brother, wait a minute!"

The little thug shouted again and suddenly pointed towards the entrance of the village. Someone was coming.
