In the middle of the night, even the village dogs were asleep.
However, three figures dressed in black silently gathered near a dilapidated courtyard.
The three men were all robust, unlike the skinny and agile Wang Maquan from a few days ago.
He exuded a restrained fierceness from head to toe, his movements were swift, and the knife in his hand must have been one that had truly seen blood.
At this moment, he was examining the low, dilapidated wall of the Bai family.
One of them couldn't help but sneer.
"In such a dilapidated courtyard, they only crippled people's legs and didn't take their lives. If they hadn't paid twenty taels to hire us, I would have felt that the employer was humiliating us."
His brother next to him said, "Don't underestimate him, what if he's a formidable opponent!"
"A powerful figure? How powerful could he be? Could he be a retired general living in the mountains?"
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a smile, appearing cheerful on the surface, but their expressions were full of sarcasm.
The three men remained silent until the eldest of them spoke up, "Enough talk, hurry up and finish this so the brothers can have a good night at the Ghost Market."
"Okay!"
The three of them nimbly climbed over the wall, completely carefree, as if they were strolling through their own yard.
"What a shabby courtyard..."
One of them even reached out and rummaged through the bamboo baskets in the yard.
The bamboo basket tipped over, and the wild vegetables inside fell to the ground, where they were even trampled on.
The leader lowered his voice and pointed to the side room where Bai Tian and the three boys were.
"I'll go to this room, you two go over there."
The remaining two nodded and walked into the inner room.
The inner room.
Long before those people kicked over the bamboo basket, the slumbering winter fun had already awakened and roused spring.
Jiang Dai wasn't used to sleeping like a log, so she woke up when Chunlai next to her made a sound.
They didn't even bother with silly questions like whether anyone had arrived.
Jiang Dai glanced down at Xiao Juanjuan, who was still sleeping, and gently stuffed the cotton balls she had prepared into the child's ears.
She was afraid of disturbing the child and letting the child see her mother's explosive side.
Jiang Dai picked up the long wooden mallet placed beside the bed, weighed it in her hand, and looked towards the door.
She could hear the indistinct voices of the men outside.
As for the machete that was commissioned at a high price last time, it was given to Chunlai, who has been training for many years, is strong, and knows kung fu.
Winter Fun's weapons are much simpler: two small daggers.
The door was carefully pushed open, and then one foot stepped into the room.
The next second, a club struck him directly on the back of the head.
The man reacted quickly, almost instinctively dodging the blow, but he barely avoided the club, not the cleaver aimed at his lower body.
Chunlai used the back of the knife, but the force combined with inertia meant that being suddenly struck by the back of the knife was extremely painful.
"Hmm."
The man groaned and knelt down on the ground.
If it were a one-on-one fight, he might not necessarily lose to Chunlai.
But who would have thought that in the dead of night, this family would be awake and so vigilantly lying in ambush at the door?
Dongqu grabbed the man and held a dagger to his neck.
"Don't move!"
This shout was a warning to both the hostage and the man who hadn't yet stepped inside.
In the blink of an eye, he was taken hostage by several women.
The hostage felt incredibly humiliated. Even with a knife to his neck, he still managed to signal his companion to take action.
What's there to be afraid of? This bunch of women, do you think they'd dare kill someone?
Just as the man standing outside was about to move, he heard a series of clanging sounds coming from the side room.
Jiang Dai's heart skipped a beat; oh no.
Why are these people not following the usual procedure? They came in three at once, and they even went to the side room and the main room separately.
Can we beat that weakling Bai Tian?
And there are three children there!
Chunlai, being impulsive, grabbed the club from Jiang Dai's hand and knocked unconscious the person controlled by Dongqu with a single blow.
"Go quickly!"
He raised his machete and swung it at the man at the door so that Jiang Dai could rush over quickly.
Dongqu stayed behind and skillfully began tying people up with ropes.
There's a child in bed too.
Who knows when the person who was knocked unconscious will wake up?
With a dagger in one hand and a club in the other, Jiang Dai kicked open the door to the side room.
Then she saw something that left her speechless.
...
It was long before those people started climbing over the wall.
Bai Yunqi had already woken up.
The feeling of only completing half of the "cleansing the tendons and marrow" treatment a while ago was really unpleasant. I felt completely dazed and even my sleep was unusually heavy.
That's the body's self-repair adapting to a state where it's half cleansing the meridians and marrow, and half not.
Now, after truly cleansing his marrow and rejuvenating his body, his body has become much lighter, and his five senses have returned to the level they were when he first started cultivating immortality.
Although he was considered a piece of trash by the powerful figures who once dominated the cultivation world, he was still much better than ordinary people.
Bai Yunqi quietly opened his eyes, and just as he sat up, he heard someone calling him.
"Big brother?"
Bai Yunqi's gaze shifted slightly, meeting that of his second brother, Bai Yunxing.
I could feel people starting to walk from the corner of the wall into the yard.
Bai Yunqi shoved his younger brother down: "Go to sleep, I'm going outside to pee!"
Bai Yunxing asked in confusion, "Isn't there a chamber pot in the house?"
Bai Yunqi: "I think the smell is too strong!"
Bai Yunxing stared at his older brother for two seconds. He'd already fallen into a cesspool, and he still complained about the smell of urine?
Could it be because he fell into a cesspool that he's now afraid of the smell of excrement and urine?
It's not impossible.
Bai Yunxing figured it out himself, so he stopped thinking about it.
Whatever, he went back to sleep.
Bai Yunqi had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw another person sit up next to him.
Bai Yun'an had slightly messy hair, and her innocent-looking face showed a mixture of confusion and cuteness.
"Big brother, I need to pee too!"
