Bai Ziqian was more important to his parents than their own lives; nothing could happen to him.
But he was different. His biological mother was dead, and his father had married his childhood sweetheart and had another son. He didn't care whether his mother lived or died. His stepmother wished he were dead, and his half-brother saw him as an obstacle to the family fortune.
He is the most suitable person to go.
Bai Ziqian was unconvinced and was about to speak when Shui Qing also said, "Ziqian, if you're not going, this place needs a mature and steady person to guard it. Uncle Ding, you're not going either."
"Ling Ran and I can go together."
Hu Wenhua quickly spoke up: "Sister! Me too! I'm suitable to go as well, let's go together as a group!"
Shuiqing looked over and asked, "It's just the two of us, Father and Mother. If I go and then you go, what will happen to them if something goes wrong?"
Hu Wenhua stammered, "But, but either you or your brother-in-law has to stay behind."
"It's alright, I won't rush in. You can stay here and guard for me." As soon as Shui Qing finished speaking, she was already almost at the hanging flower gate.
Ling Ran followed closely behind.
Yan Qiuxing followed closely behind Xia Jianghe Lake, her eyes filled with worry.
Shui Qing placed her hand on the door and ordered the people inside: "As soon as we leave, close the gate, barricade it with wood, and stand guard in the yard as we demonstrated before, understand?!"
The walls were covered with steel needles and spikes, and the courtyard walls were high, making it virtually impossible for bandits to climb over. Most of the family members could simply guard the gate with a large knife.
She had previously purchased more than a dozen wooden ladders from the mall. By placing the ladders on the wall, she could see the outside situation clearly and then spray pepper spray, sprinkle lime, or apply itching powder.
It's safe to say that things are much safer here at home than in the village; the level of protection and security is on a completely different level!
As long as the bandits are kept within Shanshui Village, there's no need for bloodshed at home.
Hu's father stepped forward and said without regard for others, "Qing'er, Father is going! You can stay at home."
"No, Dad, you keep it. Don't worry, I really won't rush in. You've all tested the power of that pepper spray. It can spray from three meters away and is effective within five meters. No bandits will be able to get close to me!"
"Fan went in a hurry, and I was afraid I didn't bring enough chili water, so I had to send over plenty!" Shuiqing said without a hint of guilt.
In fact, Fan Jin had enough pepper spray, but she had to go there, not to deliver the pepper spray, but to use an electric baton!
She had to work in coordination with Fan Jin. They would incapacitate the enemy in front, while she would use electric shocks on them one by one from behind. Otherwise, letting those bandits go would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, which would ultimately be a hidden danger!
It's a good opportunity to catch them all; it's a good deed in itself.
Butcher Hu and the others knew all too well the power of pepper spray. He was about to say that he could also deliver it when he saw his daughter take off and run far away. Her speed and agility were clearly much better than his.
The worried crowd remained in the courtyard.

On the night of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, a cold wind was blowing, and the moon was mostly obscured by dark clouds, making the world dark and hazy.
Fan Jin, along with eighteen men, took advantage of the darkness of the night and quietly approached the village entrance.
There was no one on the dam wall yet. Fan Jin knew that the previous group had successfully climbed in, and that the next group of bandits might be working hard to climb in from the sandbags outside!
Hong Daniu and a few other older men moved to guard behind the village gate, while Hong Mancang, Hong Manku, and about ten others ambushed under the high embankment.
