Dongmei nodded, quietly pushed the half-open window open a little more, and then floated out like a feather.
If the Li family members saw this, they would be extremely surprised.
She seemed like any other ordinary woman on a normal day; I never expected her to be such a master…
Under the moonlight, the dark figure did not notice anyone leaving the house.
He quietly crept to the window of the east wing, secretly blew a puff of white smoke into the room, and then closed the window.
Dongmei wanted to do the same thing again, but she couldn't wait any longer.
Smoke! That's the trick of a petty thief in the underworld.
How did the Li family offend such a person?
Just as the dark figure was about to continue blowing smoke, he suddenly noticed someone approaching from behind. Startled, he gasped, swallowing a large mouthful of smoke before it could escape.
He dodged to the side, avoiding the dagger in Dongmei's hand, but also knocked over the copper basin under the wall.
"Bang!" The sound was exceptionally loud in the darkness.
There was activity in every room of the Li family's house, and lights were turned on one by one.
Dongmei and the shadowy figure clashed, Dongmei frowning slightly.
This person is quite skilled; it will take her some effort to catch him.
They were also worried that if the Li family rushed out, they would be accidentally injured.
So she shouted, "A thief has broken into the house! Don't come out, it's dangerous!"
Almost every room had its windows open, and everyone could see it now.
Under the moonlight, it was not very clear, but it was still passable.
Grandma Li hugged her granddaughter in terror, her arms trembling as she watched the fight in the yard.
Jiayin was still a little dazed. Before she could react, Grandma Li had already gotten off the ground.
In such a dangerous situation, Old Lady Li didn't know what she was thinking, but she just felt that it was safer to be with Young Master Ye.
She didn't care anymore, pushed open the door to the west room, quickly got on the kang (heated brick bed), and closed the windows tightly.
Then he shoved Jiayin into Young Master Ye's hands.
"Young Master Ye, please protect my Fu Niu. If anything happens at home, please take her with you."
Although Young Master Ye had confidence in Dongmei, he still accepted the good news, saying, "Don't worry, Auntie."
Those four simple words made Grandma Li feel much better.
She turned and went out, grabbed the door latch, and lay down by the door, keeping a close eye on the yard, ready to rush out and help at any moment.
The same applies to Li Lao Er, Li Lao San, Jia Yi, and Jia Huan.
Jiaxi and Jia'an slept with Tao Hongying. At this moment, they were both scared and curious, hiding under the window with their eyes wide open.
Tao Hongying held onto them tightly, afraid they would escape.
Dongmei grew increasingly anxious as she fought, realizing that the dark figure was even more troublesome than she had anticipated.
At that moment, she missed her husband terribly.
She usually focused on serving the young master his food, drink, and clothing, but her skills were far inferior to her husband's.
The dark figure, perhaps sensing her weakness, moved towards the main entrance while continuing to fight.
Needless to say, they were planning to escape.
At this moment, a cry of alarm came from the east wing, and Li Lao Er had already collapsed to the ground.
The first tube of styrofoam had blown into his room, and he must have inhaled quite a bit. He was feeling dizzy and limp as mud.
Li Laosan and Jiayi had no idea; they thought Li Laoer was injured.
The two could no longer bear it and jumped out of the window.
Old Li was carrying a wood-chopping knife, while Jiayi was holding an iron rod issued by the security company.
The two men didn't have much skill, but they had families behind them, and they couldn't back down even if it meant their lives.
The shadowy figure had to deal with Dongmei while also dodging the uncle and nephew's machetes and iron rods, and was soon at a disadvantage.
The shadowy figure panicked and, despite taking a kick from Dongmei, turned and stabbed Li Laosan with the dagger in his hand.
Li Laosan was raising his machete to chop down when he was about to be stabbed in the stomach.
A dart was thrown from somewhere and pierced the shadowy figure's shoulder.
The shadowy figure paused in pain, and Li Laosan's wood-chopping knife fell down.
He only had time to dodge by an inch, avoiding his chest, but a layer of his shoulder and arm was ripped off!
"Ah!" he screamed in agony, and Dongmei's dagger and Jiayi's iron rod arrived...
Seeing the dark figure lying on the ground, half-dead, the Li family members couldn't hold back any longer.
Jia Huan ran over and dragged Li Lao Er out. Seeing that he was not injured, she quickly told her family.
Dongmei told Tao Hongying to scoop up a ladle of cold water and splash it on Li Lao Er's face.
Li Lao Er woke up immediately, but his hands and feet were still weak and he needed to recover slowly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some lit torches while others took ropes, all gathering in the courtyard.
Jiayi tied the man up tightly and kicked him a few times.
Dongmei pulled off the mask from the man's face and then took out his odds and ends.
In the west room, Jiayin hugged Young Master Ye's neck, her eyes filled with adoring admiration.
Her family didn't know, but she knew all too well that the dart she had just thrown was thrown by Young Master Ye.
In the dead of night, at a distance of seven or eight zhang, he actually hit the target with a single blow!
This is a legendary master!
Young Master Ye wanted to get down, but when he looked down at the little girl, he couldn't help but drool.
He couldn't help but laugh again. There was no need to worry anymore; this girl was more excited than anyone else…
In the courtyard, the Li family was completely bewildered, because they didn't recognize this person at all.
Moreover, everyone in the family is honest and law-abiding, and no one has made enemies outside.
How did you find this person?
Is the Li family's reputation for wealth so great that they've attracted scoundrels to make a fortune?
Seeing Young Master Ye bring Jiayin out, Old Lady Li quickly took her granddaughter from him.
Young Master Ye glanced at the person who had come and instructed Dongmei, "Take her away and ask her, but don't frighten the child."
Dongmei quickly agreed, and Li Laosan and Jiayi carried the person in and went straight into the woodshed.
Both were filled with hatred, and also quite bold, neither of them left...
The commotion caused by the Li family was unknown to other families, but it couldn't be kept secret from the old men next door.
In particular, the few people who were on duty guarding the fields also rushed over with their machetes and sickles.
Hearing that a petty thief had broken into their house and they had almost been robbed, the group was still shaken and thanked Young Master Ye profusely…
Half an hour later, Jiayin and the others were getting drowsy, and Dongmei finally brought Li Laosan and Jiayi into the house.
Li Laosan and Jiayi didn't look too good; it was unclear whether it was because the result was bad or because they were frightened.
Grandma Li was anxious and pressed for details, asking, "What exactly happened? Where did this person come from? Is he planning to steal silver?"
Li Laosan shook his head, thought for a moment, and realized he couldn't hide it any longer, so he tried to be as tactful as possible.
"Mother, don't worry, let me tell you slowly. This man is a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person from the martial arts world). He tried to rob Lao Si and Liu Biao Tou (Liu the镖头, a ...
Murder and annihilation of the entire family?
Everyone gasped, their eyes wide with shock.
Even Jiayin instinctively hugged her grandmother; it turned out the whole family almost met their maker!
Fortunately, Young Master Ye and his servant stayed at the house; otherwise, the plan to first drug the whole family with M-smoke and then kill them to silence them would have been far too meticulous.
By the time the villagers noticed, it would be dawn.
By then, the murderous bandits had already fled far away.
No one would know that their family had lost their lives because Li Laosi, who was far away from home, had died.
"Then the fourth brother, the fourth brother..."
Old Mrs. Li trembled and spoke incoherently, but everyone understood that she was worried about her son!
Li Laosan quickly said, "This man said that Lao Si killed two of their men, but was not injured."
Grandma Li breathed a sigh of relief, and tears fell down her face. "I told him not to go out, but he wouldn't listen."
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were also feeling weak, but they still tried to persuade the old lady.
"Mother, don't worry, the fourth son will probably be back in a few days."
Before the words had even finished, the sound of horses' hooves indeed echoed outside the door.
Everyone looked up, suddenly seeing the doorway...
