The junior sister exclaimed with delight, "Ye Liang, the place you put things here is amazing! The fish I caught yesterday are still alive. That's great! When I get back, I'll kill them with a stick, scrape off the scales, clean out the innards, wash them thoroughly, and marinate them to let them absorb the flavor. We'll have fresh fish soup for lunch."
The junior sister was very happy that everyone could enjoy a delicious fish soup at noon, a nourishing meal for Ye Liang and the two hardworking senior sisters. Of course, she could also nourish herself. She was still growing, and as a young woman still growing, the battles of the past two days had been so physically demanding, she naturally needed to replenish her energy; otherwise, she couldn't help but worry that her body wouldn't be able to handle it.
Now that we have this fish, that's wonderful. No wonder my junior sister is so happy.
Calling the bouncy little deer, who was trying to escape the fresh river fish by its tail, the junior sister, feeling quite pleased, went down to the mountain gate to prepare lunch for Ye Liang, starting by cleaning the river fish.
With his senior sister taking care of him, it's really good. Our young master Ye Liang can focus more on how to fight the bandits today, which is a matter of life and death.
Ye Liang smiled, then turned around and walked to the mountain gate. He looked down at the bandits' camp and saw them building a huge catapult in an orderly manner. Ye Liang's eyes gradually turned cold.
A fierce battle is about to begin.
Then you'll need to get your equipment ready first.
My own equipment, the Golden Wolf Helmet and the Crimson Blood Pigskin Armor, should be upgraded!
To make yourself able to withstand more damage and attacks!
First, you have to survive the fierce battle before you can have a chance to fight back!

"Brother Shiwu, are you really not going to care about Senior Sister Qi from the Bixian Sect anymore?" On the mountain, Wei Shiwu was alone, head down, climbing up the mountain quickly, leading the way, while his subordinates behind him could hardly keep up.
That was the only thing we could do to stop him and ask him to wait for them.
"She chose to die, it's none of my business, and I can't control her!" Wei Shiwu said irritably.
"Brother Shiwu, I think you don't need to worry too much. I don't think those senior sisters are stupid. They said we don't need to worry about them, they can handle it. I think you should relax a bit, Brother Shiwu. Let's wait and see." His subordinates comforted Wei Shiwu.
Wei Shiwu was annoyed, but he had no better solution, so he could only say, "After we go down the mountain, Xiao Liu, you come with me and take a few men to keep a close eye on the bandits' movements. We need to know immediately if there's any disturbance."
"Yes!" Wei Shiwu replied, seemingly still not going to ignore those fairy-like senior sisters of the Bixian Sect, which made Zhang Xiaoliu smile.
Everyone felt the same way; they had long suspected that Wei Shiwu wouldn't abandon the senior sisters of the Bixian Sect.
After all, she's like a fairy.
Men can't resist the charms of beautiful women.
They all understand.
——
Mountain bandits have come down from the Immortal Mountain. Although there are already rumors that the bandits are here to attack the Bixian Sect, as a small village at the foot of the Immortal Mountain, the bandits are right next door. Even though they heard that the bandits were not here to attack them, they were already in a state of panic.
Xiaoxianzhuang actually has city walls. Backed by mountains, and with walls made of stone, they are quite sturdy. In addition, the village has a self-organized guard force that patrols the area year-round, making Xiaoxianzhuang relatively safe.
However, I heard that the bandit leader is a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, so even that city wall makes people feel unsafe.
Many people had already packed up their valuables early in the morning and left through another city gate to hide in the deep mountains.
Xiaoxianzhuang once had a glorious past. Nestled at the foot of Bixianmen Mountain, it was once a bustling market town with thriving trade. In the past, the mere presence of disciples from Bixianmen Mountain buying goods was enough to provide the villagers of Xiaoxianzhuang with a comfortable life.
However, with the decline of the Bixian Sect, those good days are long gone.
After the decline of the Bixian Sect, fewer merchants came and went, and Xiaoxian Village gradually became deserted.
Many people have already gone out to make a living.
There were already few people left. Now, with bandits causing further disturbances, many have fled into the mountains to avoid trouble, leaving even fewer people on the streets.
Occasionally, you'll see people, mostly women with children and bundles on their backs, hurrying up the mountain.
It wasn't that they didn't have men to go with them, but rather that some men had to stay behind to protect their homes.
Therefore, if the man in the family was employed by the city guard, he could only send his wife and children ahead of him. Their safety was the priority.
As for their lives, that's truly up to fate.
If the bandits don't come to fight, everything is fine.
If the bandits come to fight, we can only fight them to the death.
Fighting to the death means people will die.
Brothers who went to the battlefield together, who lives and who dies, no one can say for sure.
Since ancient times, how many have returned from the battlefields?
Therefore, in the eyes of many, this parting may be a separation of life and death.
Many couples shed tears when they separate.
The scene was so tragic that anyone who saw it felt a deep sense of desolation.
It's heartbreaking.
Those damned bandits!
The chaos caused families to be torn apart, people to live in fear, and all industries to decline. These women, who were already struggling on the poverty line, were now facing a situation where they were on the verge of not being able to survive.
They all wished for someone who could wipe out those mountain bandits.
Then, perhaps there will be traveling merchant caravans coming here, and perhaps life here will improve because of trade.
