As soon as the two Xia family members left, Li Dashan led the militia into Yu Rujia's house. Seeing people lying on the ground, Li Dashan ordered his men to tie up Jia Shengyuan and the others.
Li Dashan: "Yu Zhiqing, are any of you injured?"
Yu Rujia: "I'm fine. I'll go check on Duofu and the others first." She was really worried that Duofu and the others might be frightened.
Duofu has practiced martial arts and is much better than the boys in the team. However, he is still young and has limited time to learn martial arts, so he certainly cannot be allowed to face those who have received professional training.
Upon hearing Xia Jingxing's warning, Gao Guojing shook him awake, instructing him to watch over his younger brothers and not to leave until they came in, and not to let anyone outside the family in.
When the fight first started, apart from Duofu, the three younger kids were still fast asleep.
The sound of gunfire startled the little ones awake. Fortunately, they were too young to know the danger, and the sound stopped after a short while.
With Duofu's comforting words, the little ones, whose minds were still in a sleep state, quickly fell asleep again.
At a young age, Duofu was suddenly woken up by Gao Guojing, who said that bad people were coming and that he should guard his younger brothers. The little guy was terrified, but he still took on the responsibility of being the eldest brother and protected his younger brothers.
After Gao Guojing left, he got up and locked the door from the inside. Still worried, he pressed the door shut with his hand, fearing that a bad guy might come in.
Yu Rujia pushed the door, but it wouldn't budge. She tentatively called out, "Duofu, it's Auntie."
As soon as she finished speaking, Duofu, who was holding the door, let go, quickly unlocked the door, opened it, and the little guy cautiously poked his head out: "Auntie."
Yu Rujia held the baby in her arms: "I'm sorry, I made Duofu worry."
Duofu's childish voice trembled slightly: "Auntie, have the bad guys left?"
It's no wonder Gao Guojing woke Duofu up; he was worried that the noise of the fight would wake the little ones, and that their curiosity, without any sense of caution, would lead them outside, giving those people the opportunity to catch them.
Yu Rujia: "The bad guys have all been caught, we're safe now. How are the younger brothers?"
Duofu obediently replied, "My younger brothers are still sleeping."
Yu Rujia patted the little guy on the back and said, "Duofu is very brave. He protected his younger brothers. Duofu is the best."
Li Dashan, who had followed, said, "Duofu is so young, yet he can handle such a chaotic situation so calmly. He will surely achieve great things in the future."
Yu Rujia: "Thank you so much, Captain Li, for coming in time. You've all worked so hard these past few days."
Li Dashan: "Even without us, those people couldn't do anything to you. I didn't expect Shujing to be so skilled, and his brother and you are also quite capable. Those people who set their sights on you are destined to fail."
Yu Rujia: "They were worried that making noise would attract more people, so they didn't take out their guns. If they had done that as soon as they arrived, even if we were very skilled, we wouldn't have been able to defend ourselves. We'll leave the rest to you."
Li Dashan: "Of course, I'll take them back and lock them up right now, and send them to town tomorrow."
Upon hearing the news, Captain Huang rushed over at his fastest speed ever. The already hot weather was made even hotter by the strenuous activity, and his face was covered in sweat.
Wiping the sweat from his face, Captain Huang asked, "Have you caught them all?"
Li Dashan: "Everyone who entered the courtyard has been caught. We don't know if any accomplices escaped outside. I have already arranged for the militia to search the area."
Captain Huang cursed, "Damn it, there really are spies. Luckily we were on guard, otherwise they would have succeeded. They didn't even spare the children, a bunch of beasts. Are any of us hurt?"
Li Dashan: "No one was injured. When we rushed over, everyone had been knocked to the ground."
Yu Rujia: "Fortunately, Captain Li arrived in time. When those men saw that they couldn't take us down, they pulled out their guns."
Seven people came. Although they were lying on the ground, if they were determined to hurt Yu Rujia and the others, they would have had a chance to draw their guns. So Li Dashan and his men did not come for nothing.
Captain Huang: "It's good that no one was hurt. These people dared to do such a thing, they won't be let off the hook. What's wrong with Duofu?"
Gao Guojing returned with a sense of relief after seeing that everyone who came in was tightly bound and all their weapons had been confiscated. He happened to hear his question and glanced at Duofu.
The little guy was not as composed and energetic as usual, and lay listlessly in Yu Rujia's arms.
Gao Guojing reached out and patted Duofu's little head: "Some people came earlier, and I was worried that they would be startled awake and come out to join in the fun without thinking, so I woke Duofu up and asked him to watch over his younger brothers."
"It's probably a bit scary since this is the first time I've encountered something like this. Duofu, you did a great job protecting your younger brothers. You're the best older brother."
Captain Huang: "I knew Duofu was a promising man who remained calm in the face of adversity and had the demeanor of a great general."
After receiving praise from several people, Duofu's fear subsided somewhat, and he grinned, revealing a shy smile that melted the hearts of those who saw it.
After seeing off Captain Huang and the others, Yu Rujia, holding Duofu, said to Gao Guojing, "Duofu will sleep with me tonight. You go and take care of Duolu and the others."
The little guy was frightened, so he kept the person by his side so that Yu Rujia could notice anything amiss immediately.
Back at the cowshed, Xia Jingxing and Xia Tai'an returned safely. The Xia family members, who had heard the sound of gunfire, had already woken up. If they hadn't remembered their identities, they would have all wanted to run to Yu Rujia to check on the situation.
As soon as the two entered the room, Han Meifeng asked anxiously, "How is Rujia?"
Xia Tai'an: "Ru Jia is fine, and everyone else is fine too. Mei Feng doesn't need to worry."
Xia Yuanqiang: "Have you caught them yet?"
Xia Jingxing: "They've all been caught. Ru Jia and Guo Jing are too amazing. Two people against seven people, and they took them all down in just a few minutes."
Guo Jing is better off; he can directly fight those people, while Xia Jingxing can only watch them from the shadows. Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing was so envious that tears almost fell from his eyes.
Xu Xiangyue frowned: "Those people brought guns, did they hurt anyone?"
Xia Jingxing: "We only fired one gun, and we were knocked down without hurting anyone. The militia rushed over quickly, and we were worried about being discovered, so we ran away in advance."
Han Meifeng: "So you're saying you didn't see the end?"
Xia Tai'an: "When we left, everyone who came over was knocked to the ground, but Ru Jia and the others were fine. You don't need to think about going over to check. After something like this, the militia patrols will definitely be even more frequent."
“If you go there, whether people mistake you for one of their accomplices or they discover our relationship, it will be a threat to Rujia and the others.”
"Rest assured and relax. You know Rujia; no one is more shrewd than her."
