Tang Yue noticed that her father sighed very easily.
"Mom and Dad, it hasn't come to that yet, has it? Maybe it won't end up like that?"
When she went to bed that night, Lin Cuicui brought all the iron dustpans, shovels, pickaxes, and several wooden buckets from her home into the house.
They moved the cabinet from the west room onto the kang (a heated brick bed), creating a small space in a corner, and watched over the three Tang brothers.
"If spies come, the three of you hide in this gap. Bullets can't penetrate the wall, and this cabinet will hold them off for a bit, understand?"
Seeing Lin Cuicui's serious gaze, the three Tang brothers were a little scared, but they all nodded earnestly.
Old Li sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and tapped his pipe.
"Don't worry, with your Uncle Qian and me here, we'll make sure the spies are well hidden when they really come."
Looking into Lin Cuicui's worried eyes, Tang Yue's resolve strengthened; she needed to become stronger quickly. She hoped the spies would arrive a few days later.
However, the spies did not hear Tang Yue's inner thoughts. Just as Tang Yue was closing her eyes and intensifying her cultivation in the middle of the night, about to break through to the second level of Qi Refining, they suddenly opened their eyes with a "whoosh".
She had just closed her eyes to cultivate, thinking about going to the back mountain to see what would happen if the spies were hiding somewhere in the back mountain or came out from somewhere in the back mountain.
Just as she was thinking this, somehow, her consciousness actually went to the back mountain. From the backyard all the way into the deep mountains, Tang Yue could see the surrounding trees and the grass on the ground very clearly.
Her consciousness circled the East Mountain and North Mountain, but found nothing. As she circled westward from the top of North Mountain, she noticed something was wrong on a pile of broken rocks.
There sat more than twenty men wearing bowler hats and black overcoats, just like the two spies who had died in the family.
Tang Yue counted carefully: 23. A slight smile played on her lips; these spies really thought highly of her family. Tang Yue's consciousness then scanned her surroundings, but she didn't find anyone else.
Her gaze drifted upwards, following the trail of the spies, back to a spot about 300 meters from her backyard. There stood a large tree there, too big for an adult to encircle with both arms.
A dark shadow was silently watching her house from the tree. Its gaze swept around to other places, but it didn't find anything. Tang Yue was certain that a total of 24 people had come.
The moment Tang Yue opened her eyes, she had already decided that she wanted to go out and meet these people.
24 people. Needless to say, the whole family was completely weak. Even if Grandpa Li and Grandpa Qian were somewhat skilled and knew how to shoot, they only had four guns in total, including the hunting rifle that Grandpa Qian brought.
They hadn't used it yet. Her father was now unable to walk properly and had no way to fight against 24 secret agents.
Now, she could only rely on herself to solve their problems, so Tang Yue quietly got up and left the courtyard.
