Chapter 61 Night Attack: The Arrival of a Strange Woman
As summer approaches, the midday sun is so hot that it makes people feel a little bored.
Zhou Yuesheng seemed to be asleep, and his breathing became very light.
"You're lying again." Yu Zhile pinched his earlobe.
Unexpectedly, the next second Zhou Yuesheng raised his head and his lips brushed across her cheek.
The two of them were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
"Okay, three days." Zhou Yuesheng agreed.
Yu Zhile only felt that his eyes were becoming more and more blurry, he must be quite drunk.
She heard the sound of Yu Peilan and the other person opening the door. She took two steps back, put some distance between them, and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you then."
Then, she turned around, hugged Yu Peilan's arm, and said coquettishly, "I want to sleep with my aunt."
"Don't you want to sleep with Second Aunt?" Yang Suyun tapped her nose.
Yu Zhile smiled brightly at her, making her feel sweet inside.
"Okay, go and have a rest." Yang Suyun said with a smile.
The whole family took half a day off. After she and Yu Yang brothers cleaned up the table, they went home to rest.
Zhou Yuesheng did not go back to the house. He lay on a bamboo chair, looking at the big trees, flowers and plants in the yard spinning constantly, and gradually closed his eyes.
The courtyard became quiet, with only the sounds of crawling and Moore's breathing.
As the sun sets in the west, the evening glow dyes the blooming clouds golden.
"Oh, it was such a comfortable sleep." Zhang Wenxin stretched and found that there were two people sleeping beside him.
She turned over gently, supported herself on the bed with her hands, and observed the aunt and nephew who were sleeping soundly.
The two have smooth facial contours and delicate features, and they are 70% similar when they don't open their eyes.
"Spying on me?" Yu Zhile suddenly opened his eyes and tickled her.
Zhang Wenxin fell to one side, dodging and fighting back.
"Child." Yu Peilan smiled.
She felt that Yu Zhile was much more lively than when she was in the provincial capital, and was very happy to see such a change in her.
At this time, a sound was also heard from the west room.
"Xiaobao, you are going to crush my tall nose." Chen Zhao yelled, as if he was still not fully sober.
Then, a low laugh came from the room.
Everyone got up one after another and sat in the yard chatting and enjoying the cool air.
Yu Peilan and her husband had three days off and were prepared to stay at Yu's house during the holidays.
When it was getting dark, He Youan cooked some glutinous rice porridge. Chen Zhao still stayed by his side and asked him about his mother's past.
Suddenly, a sudden bird call was heard.
Zhou Yuesheng looked outside the yard vigilantly and vaguely saw a slender figure behind a big tree.
He stood up and walked out of the yard. Just as he approached the big tree, Bai Qishan grabbed his arm.
"Please, please, save Nanzhi. They have kidnapped her and are going to trade her tonight." Bai Qishan was wearing a veil, her tears almost soaking it.
Zhou Yuesheng's expression froze: "What time is it tonight?"
"At nine o'clock in the evening, a group of buyers will come to pick people. The location is a small hill." Bai Qishan's voice choked and her body kept shaking.
Zhou Yuesheng pondered for a few seconds and said, "Come with me first."
Bai Qishan then realized that she was still holding his arm tightly, with such force that she left a handprint.
Several people in the yard stared curiously at the strange woman who suddenly appeared.
"Du Nanzhi's sister is going to stay here for one night." Zhou Yuesheng explained.
When He Youan and Yu Yue heard this, they knew that the situation in Huaxi Village had changed, and their expressions became serious.
The Yu family doesn't have many rooms, but there are wooden boards in the utility room, so it is not difficult to set up a temporary bed in Yu Zhile's room.
However, before Zhile could speak, Zhang Wenxin interrupted and said, "There's no room for her to stay here. Let her come home and live with me."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Zhou Yuesheng gave He Youan a look.
He Youan made a poor excuse, saying that something was left in the car, and asked Zhou Yuesheng to accompany him to find it.
The two men had a brief conversation with Yu Haiguang and decided to raid Huaxi Village tonight.
At the same time, on the hillside, Ning Tan put down the telescope.
"Is there any new situation?" Lin Zhong asked.
Ning Tan was still thinking about the reason for Bai Qishan's sudden appearance and didn't hear his words clearly for a while.
Lin Zhong asked again.
"No, Zhou Yuesheng's secret crush came to the door." Ning Tan made up an excuse.
Lin Zhong narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Your former teammate is really lucky." After a while, the person who was taking over appeared under the big tree, and the two jumped down the tree one after another.
In the Yu family courtyard, He Youan’s specially cooked glutinous rice, poria cocos and lotus seeds porridge was served on the table.
A small amount of brown sugar masks the slight bitterness of the lotus seeds, giving off a sweet flavor.
Perhaps because there was a stranger present, the atmosphere at the dinner table was not as relaxed as usual.
"Is Nanzhi okay?" Yu Zhile took the initiative to bring up the topic.
Bai Qishan's muscles twitched under her veil and she responded, "She, she's fine, very happy."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see her reluctance, and the atmosphere became silent again.
"Aunt and uncle drink porridge, second uncle and second aunt drink porridge, Lele, Xiaoyue and Xiaobao drink porridge." Zhang Wenxin said in a funny way to ease the atmosphere.
Chen Zhao muttered, "What? Why don't you call me and my brother-in-law?"
"Eat your food, stop talking nonsense." Zhang Wenxin sat next to him and blocked his mouth with a chopstick of side dish.
After being interrupted by the two people, everyone felt much more at ease and started to eat.
Bai Qishan did not take off her veil, but just lifted a small corner and slowly scooped the porridge with a spoon.
Although the movement was small, the scars on her face were still faintly visible. Everyone remained silent.
After dinner, it was already dark.
Yu Haizong and his family have to go to work tomorrow, so they leave first.
Afterwards, Chen Zhao and Zhang Wenxin didn't stay long and went home.
"I'm going out tonight." He Youan found an opportunity to report his itinerary to Yu Peilan.
Yu Peilan sighed and said, "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come home."
That night, as if everyone had sensed the unusual atmosphere, they tacitly went back to their rooms early.
Yu Peilan was sleeping in Yu Zhile's room. The aunt and niece were chatting when they suddenly heard faint footsteps coming from the yard.
Some were light, some were heavy, and you could tell there were three people.
"Le Le, don't be afraid, they will come back safely." Yu Peilan said softly.
She was comforting Yu Zhile, and also comforting herself.
Based on Zhou Yuesheng's previous performance, Yu Zhile guessed that they were doing a dangerous mission and leaned quietly on her shoulder.
On the other side, the group of four gathered in front of the big rock at the entrance of Haiyu Village.
Bai Qishan's appearance made Ning Tan tense up. After returning to the city, he immediately prepared his weapons.
He Youan immediately formulated a battle strategy, and several people began to rush towards Huaxi Village.
At half past eight, Zhou Yuesheng and He Youan arrived at the small hill that Bai Qishan mentioned.
There was no one here and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
"Get down!" Zhou Yuesheng shouted.
The fire flashed away in an instant, several gunshots rang out, and the two men fell to the ground almost at the same time.
"Two people at three o'clock, three people at six o'clock, find cover first." He Youan whispered.
The two men crawled forward, firing a few shots in these two directions from time to time, but the other side did not move at all.
In the darkness, they determined their next move by making gestures on their palms.
Ning Tan's three rapid gunshots disrupted the situation, and the two men took advantage of the chaos and approached in two directions.
After a melee, people on both sides were injured and started close combat.
Finally, two enemies fell, and the six of them stood facing each other, gasping for breath.
"Lin Zhong, you also have a daughter, how could you do such a thing? How could you!" Ning Tan asked in a hoarse voice.
Lin Zhong sneered twice.
"Why?" Ning Tan became more and more angry.
Huang Que's shrill voice interrupted his questioning and sarcastically said, "Ning Tan, when did you become so nagging? After retiring from the army, you went to work in the neighborhood committee? Today, either you die or we die, so stop talking nonsense."
As he said this, he showed his dagger.
The sharp dagger shone coldly in the moonlight.
The next second, several people started fighting again.
At the same time, Yu Haiguang found Captain Du’s abandoned ancestral home. Fire was coming from the inner room, and there was a sentry every two meters outside the yard.
He took advantage of the time when two people were chatting together in the corner, knocked them out, and successfully sneaked into the yard.
Therefore, he saw a scene that made him burst into tears.
Yu Haiguang raised his gun and aimed, and with one shot he blew up the burning candle, plunging the room into darkness.
"What's going on? What are the people outside doing?!"
"It's gunshots. Someone is coming. Run away."
"Didn't you say your people had dealt with them?"
"Return our deposit to us quickly."
"Don't worry about the money, just pick one up and don't lose money."
"Well, old——"
The house was in chaos and the people outside were also in a panic.
Zhou Yuesheng and his two companions arrived wounded and surrounded the man, arresting most of him.
Everyone was tied up and squatted in the yard. Ning Tan lit a candle and confirmed the mastermind one by one. He said, "The captain's son Du Zijun is not here."
However, his people were guarding the outermost part of the village, and no one else could escape from Huaxi Village.
Yu Haiguang briefly described the situation in the house, and the others did not light the lights again.
He handed the linen clothes he found in the cellar to Zhou Yuesheng.
"Du Nanzhi." Zhou Yuesheng shouted.
He heard a vague sound in a corner, and went to the source of the sound, using a dagger to cut the hemp ropes that bound her hands and feet.
"Cough." Du Nanzhi tore off the cloth from his mouth and coughed violently.
Zhou Yuesheng waited for her to calm down and asked, "I'll leave this to you, okay?"
"Okay." Du Nanzhi's voice was hoarse.
Zhou Yuesheng left and candles were lit in the room.
Soon, the crying sound filled the entire yard.
Ning Tan glared at Captain Du angrily.
"Please spare my life. I was forced to do this. I was forced by Lin Zhong and the others." Captain Du began to beg for mercy.
As soon as he said this, others began to complain.
"We are in the mountains, there is really no other way. We need to pass on our family line."
"Yeah, there's really nothing we can do."
The ugly faces of the group of people looked even more distorted and disgusting under the dim firelight.
At this time, the inner room fell into darkness again. Du Nanzhi opened the door and said in a hoarse voice: "Captain Zhou, we——"
There was a group of people standing behind her.
Zhou Yuesheng threw the dagger to the ground and stepped on the candle that was standing on the ground to extinguish it.
By chance, a gust of wind blew by, and the clouds covered the bright moon.
The environment was pitch black, and slow, powerful footsteps were approaching the center of the yard. Captain Du and others screamed in fear.
Howls of pain rang out one after another, and the four of them turned their backs tacitly.
