Tang Shengkai's expression changed, and he exchanged a glance with Lin Cuicui. The two then sped up and ran towards Beishan.
Old Li and Qian Dazhi found nothing unusual around Tang Laosan's house. They figured the spies probably hadn't arrived yet, but where had Yueyue gone? Just as they were pondering this, they heard gunshots ringing out from the North Mountain.
Without hesitation, the two began running in the direction of the gunshot.
They simultaneously forgot that the three Tang brothers were still in the west room. Tang Bei and the others were awakened by the gunshot from the north mountain. Tang Nan sat up abruptly, seeing that only the three brothers remained on the kang (heated brick bed). He didn't panic, picked up a small hoe, and...
"Brother, Dongzi, it must be spies. Let's go and fight them."
As he was about to get off the kang (a heated brick bed), Tang Bei and Tang Dong each grabbed one of his arms. "Don't be impulsive. Mom and Dad, Grandpa Qian, and Grandpa Li should already be gone. Have you forgotten what Mom told us tonight?"
Tang Nan tried his best but couldn't break free from the two brothers' grasp. "The spies are here. We have to fight them."
Tang Dong's face darkened. "Second brother, which spy can you kill? Going there will only cause trouble. You should listen to Mom and hide quickly."
Tang Nan didn't want to listen, but he knew that his elder brother and third brother were right. He reduced his strength to break free, but he still didn't stop.
Tang Bei was somewhat angry.
"Ernan, why are you disobedient?"
"I need to go check on my sister in that room. If Mom and Dad are out, and she's all alone there, I..."
Tang Bei and Tang Dong exchanged a glance. "Second brother, sister should have already gone out."
"What? Why can my sister go out but we can't?"
Tang Bei and Tang Dong both fell silent. Why? Because their sister was more capable than them; she was so young yet she had managed to kill two spies. But even the three of them combined couldn't match her individual skill.
"Er Nan, stop fooling around. We don't have that ability yet. Let's hide away and learn how to cultivate internal energy. Only when we become strong and capable can we protect our sister."
Tang Nan seemed to have just remembered Tang Yue's words, and felt somewhat dejected, but he had no other choice at the moment. He stood up and pulled Tang Bei and Tang Dong to hide in the corner that Lin Cuicui had arranged in advance.
The gunshots continued to ring out from the mountain. The children, hiding on the kang (a heated brick bed), were very worried but there was nothing they could do. They could only silently begin to cultivate according to the method of guiding qi into the body that their younger sister had taught them.
The sounds of gunfire gradually began to emanate from the village, and people from all households came out to investigate. However, no one dared to run up the mountain. Judging from the gunfire, there were quite a few Japanese soldiers coming, and since they had nothing, no one dared to go up.
After resting for a few minutes, Tang Yue felt she had regained some strength. She stood up and said, "Grandpa Li, Grandpa Qian, I'd like to trouble you for another favor."
"What is it? Little girl, tell me."
Qian Dazhi often went up the mountain, and his physical condition was a bit better than Old Li's. He caught his breath after a few breaths.
Tang Yue smiled as she looked at the spy's corpse on the rocky beach. Qian Dazhi had done it once before, and now he looked at Tang Yue with some speechlessness.
Old Li shoved Tang Dazhi aside, "What are you standing there for? What's going on?"
