After a while, the Hu people, having come to their senses, screamed and scattered in all directions.

Yun Er shook off the snow from his body, leaped up from the snow-covered ground, and fired two arrows simultaneously from his bow, shooting them at the scattered Hu people.

Upon seeing this, Yun Mo and Yun Yi fully came to their senses and led their men to meet the fleeing Hu people.

Lin Yinan turned around and saw Lin Yiheng looking at her with a ghostly expression. She waved her hand in front of him.

"Brother, are you sure you're not scared out of your wits?"

Lin Yiheng grabbed her hand and glanced around warily. "Anan, what is this powerful thing?"

"A large firecracker, made by my master."

Fearing that he would be frightened, Lin Yinan told a lie.

"If anyone asks, just say there isn't any." Lin Yiheng had already figured out how to deal with Yun Mo and the others.

"Brother, did you remember how many I hit?"

"I remember, there were eight in total."

"Let's go dig the bullet out."

"Anan, take this and use it next time."

Lin Yiheng handed her the spent cartridge he had picked up.

Lin Yinan took it with a smile; this thing had plenty of space.

By the time Lin Yinan and her siblings had dug out all the bullets, Yun Mo and Yun Yi were already cleaning up the battlefield.

The Yun family's secret guards were dismantling two large tents, while Lin Yuanzhi and Liu Ji were stripping the Hu people of their fur coats, which they would wash and dry later, as they were much warmer than cotton-padded clothes.

Finally, Yun Mo chose four of the strongest horses for Lin Yinan.

"Miss Lin, this is your horse."

Yun Mo stared intently at her, as if trying to see through this girl who always brought him surprises.

Seeing that he didn't just give her a perfunctory answer, but instead chose the strongest one, Lin Yinan nodded slightly to him.

She pulled over the horses and gave one to each of Lin Yuanzhi, Lin Tiezhuang, and Liu Ji.

The three of them were so shocked that their mouths were agape, and they thanked Lin Yinan again and again.

"The ground reeks of blood; wild animals might come drawn by the smell. We shouldn't stay here any longer; we should leave quickly," Yun Mo urged.

The group rode their horses, laden with their bountiful harvest, on their way home.

Shortly after they left, countless menacing green lights flashed deep within the forest.
