Chapter 54: I'll count to three, get out of this yard
Although they were unwilling, they did not dare to force their way in. After all, their family had a good reputation in the village.
Xiang Yu was eating nuts and listening to the noise next door. She could hear the entire conversation between the people clearly.
Xiang Yi did not handle this matter well. According to past experience, I am afraid that these people will come to him again after some time.
Because the temperature is too low, I have been exercising at home recently, doing a thousand push-ups as usual in the morning.
This was the task she set for herself. Now that she had gotten used to this kind of life, doing a thousand push-ups every day was a piece of cake for her.
There was a roaring fire in the room. Xiang Yu's vest was wet with sweat, and his long hair fell on both sides of his arms.
The hair mixed with sweat stuck to his cheeks.
He stood up, lifted up his vest and wiped the sweat off his face, revealing his waistline.
After looking out the window, Xiang Yu pulled the curtains, took out a basin from the space, and washed his body with the boiled hot water.
After getting dressed, he collected all the frozen ice in the yard, chopped some firewood, and put it in an iron bucket to smoke it into charcoal.
These charcoals can be used for barbecue in the future. Barbecue needs some smoky flavor to be more delicious.
Since most people in the village were hungry, Xiang Yu didn't dare to eat food with strong smells. In such cold weather, it would be perfect if he could have a pot of hot pot.
Xiang Yu was not discouraged by not having the hotpot. Instead, he stewed some lamb chops in the space and cut some chives for himself.
The lamb chops dipped in chive sauce taste just as good as hotpot.
Sure enough, on the seventh night, the people who had visited my great-grandmother's house before came again.
This time there were eight or nine of them, and they were not as easy to deal with as last time, and they chose to come at this time of the night.
The person who opened the door this time was Uncle Xiang.
"Boss Xiang, didn't your son say that you were so sick that you had trouble getting out of bed? I see you're fine."
But Uncle Xiang didn't respond to him. Instead, he looked at the people behind him and said, "What do you want to do..." Uncle Xiang also guessed what they wanted to do.
"What? I want to borrow some food from you. We are all neighbors. Just help everyone," the man pretended to go in.
Looking at the sticks in the hands of several people, Uncle Xiang's heart began to beat, "Are you here to borrow or to rob?"
"It depends on what you mean," one person responded. If Xiang Lao Da could lend them the food himself, then there would be no problem.
If they don't lend, then they can only rob.
Xiang Yu was awakened by a series of rapid knocks on the door, mixed with the shrill cries of a child.
"Mom, mom, please don't hit my mom. You are all bad people. I will beat you to death. I will beat you to death..."
Listening to the noise coming from next door, Xiang Yu looked at the time. It was 1:45 in the evening.
The iron door was still clanging. After Xiang Yu got up and put on his clothes, he opened the door. The cold night air hit him in the face.
A little girl outside the door looked terrified. Xiang Yu remembered her. She was Xiang Ling's child.
"Sister, many bad guys rushed into our house. Mom and grandpa were injured, and grandma was also beaten to death..."
The child started crying when he saw Xiang Yu.
"Who asked you to come to me?" Xiang Yu heard something wrong in her words.
"It's my uncle. He went out a few days ago. He said that if any bad guys come to the house, he will come looking for you," the little girl wanted to reach out to pull Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu dodged her.
After entering the house and picking up the compound bow, Xiang Yu went out. "You hide here and don't go over there," Xiang Yu reminded him and ran towards the next door.
They are all from the same village, they shouldn't beat the grandmother to death.
Before entering the house, Xiang Yu heard Zhang Cuiping's cursing and her uncle's faint cry for help.
After kicking the door open, Xiang Yu saw the chaotic scene in the yard. Xiang Ling was lying unconscious by the gate, with two crying children beside her.
There were six people surrounding Uncle Xiang, and the sticks in their hands were constantly hitting him. Zhang Cuiping was controlled by two of them and wanted to rush over to save Uncle Xiang.
Xiang Yu's arrival stunned everyone in the courtyard for a moment. Everyone stopped what they were doing, but Xiang Yu ignored them.
Instead, he took three or two steps straight into the house. The stove in the house was about to go out when it came into contact with the low temperature outside.
The room was not warm. The grandmother was lying face down on the ground, with her hat falling to the side, revealing her already gray hair.
Xiang Yu stepped forward and helped the person up. Great-grandmother and grandmother were very good friends, so great-grandmother had always taken good care of her since she was a child.
Just because she had just returned to the village, her grandmother brought her food again and again. To her, it was a common thing, but to Xiang Yu, it was a favor that she would always remember in her heart.
Feeling that she was still breathing weakly, Xiang Yu pinched her philtrum and did not let go until she woke up.
"Xiao Yu, why are you here?" The old lady had a poor memory and when she woke up she forgot what had just happened for a moment.
Xiang Yu fiddled with the stove that was about to go out, added a few pieces of burning coal into it where she couldn't see, and the stove slowly burned.
"It's okay, grandma, I just came to see you. It's too cold, I'll help you close the door." After adding fire to the stove, Xiang Yu closed the door and walked out.
If she had come a step later, the person would have been killed.
The villagers in the yard have stopped what they are doing and they all look at Xiang Yu. If Xiang Yu were to take care of this matter, could they defeat this murderer?
"I'll count to three and you get out of this yard. Remember, you have to roll," he drew out a bow and arrow and pulled it to its full strength towards Yu.
The trembling sound of the bow and arrow was particularly loud in the silent night.
