(Thanks to rcmamahong for casting 4 monthly votes.)
Li Youfu and Li Shiyang lived closer to the village entrance, while Li Shiyue and the others had to walk uphill a bit to get to their place.
Seeing the situation, Li Shiyue advised her mother to help Li Wangming into the cellar to hide, while the rest of the people went with her to Li Youfu's place.
However, before leaving, Li Shiyue raised his knife and chopped off the head of the barbarian who was lying next to Li Wangming, slicing it off along his neck.
She crouched down, enduring the still-visible stench of blood, and used the tip of her knife to pry open the back of the head, reaching in with her fingers to dig out the special "embroidery needle from Dongfang Bubai".
Looking at the almost invisible tiny embroidery needle held between Li Shiyue's fingers, Li's mother suppressed her discomfort at the sight of Li Shiyue's bloodied hand and said with a hint of helplessness, "You don't need that needle anymore. If you still want it, your mother will give you another one."
"You insist on digging it out, you child..."
Li Shiyue stood up, casually wiped the bloodstains from the embroidery needle on her sleeve, and then put it back into the pouch in her hair bun.
She turned around and smiled at Li's mother, but did not respond to her words.
I spent 666 points to buy this, how could I bear to just throw it away?
"October's technique is quite impressive!"
"How could a needle fly in from that distance!"
Li Wangshui was very surprised by Li Shiyue's move, and he sincerely admired Li Shiyue for his extraordinary talent.
Faced with Li Wangshui's surprise, what could Li Shiyue say?
She simply smiled at Li Wangshui and then beckoned everyone to head towards Li Youfu's house.
Just as Li Shiyue had guessed, the two barbarians who had escaped, namely Agulang and his group, had just joined up with another group of barbarians who had followed the smoke from the cooking fire to Li Youfu's house.
Pockmarked man, crouching and hiding on the roof of the kitchen, carefully moved his body. He was hiding behind the chimney on the roof of the kitchen, and he could already hear the barbarians entering the yard speaking in a language he couldn't understand.
Ma Zi gently raised his head, and taking advantage of his advantageous position, he saw seven or eight barbarians with braids hanging down their backs suddenly enter the courtyard.
His chest pounded, and Ma Zi involuntarily swallowed. He hadn't expected so many barbarians to come all at once.
Li Shiyang, Mozi, and Wang Shisan from Wangjia Village were lying in ambush inside the kitchen.
Wang Shisan was a clever boy. At the age of thirteen, Wang Shisan's parents died early, and he lived with his grandmother. Fortunately, the boy was lively, otherwise Ma Zi would not have liked him.
But at this moment, Ma Zi felt that even if he added Li Youfu hiding in the cellar of the west house, Yangzai's cousin-in-law, the three men from Wangjia Village, and himself, ten against seven would definitely not be a match for the barbarians!
After waiting for a while, Li Shiyang, who was hiding behind the kitchen door, frowned. He had already heard people coming into the courtyard, but after so long, no barbarian had come into the kitchen to check.
"Oh no, have the barbarians figured out our ambush plan?"
Ma Zi hid behind the chimney, watching the few barbarian leaders huddled together in the yard, chattering away incoherently.
"Hopefully they can make it in October!"
After so much time, those barbarians still hadn't entered the kitchen. Ma Zi's heart sank. He didn't know whether to continue waiting for the barbarians to enter the kitchen or what to do next.
Suddenly, the barbarians in the courtyard scattered. After exchanging ideas, Agulang and the others came up with another plan. They decided not to go into the kitchen with the smoke coming from the roof.
They found some dry firewood in the corner of the yard, lit it, and then Agulang shouted, "Let it go!"
The barbarian threw the burning firewood toward the kitchen window!
The pockmarked man, hiding behind the chimney on the roof, widened his eyes. Who would have thought that the barbarian had a brain? Not only did he not fall for the trap, but he also wanted to buy at the bottom!
Wang Shisan, who was hiding in the corner, watched as the burning firewood was thrown in through the window and landed on the pile of dry grass on the ground.
Hay is flammable, and in just a few breaths, a large chunk of it was ablaze!
Hidden in the blind spot next to the kitchen window, Mozi, who was standing against the wall, and Li Shiyang, who was hiding behind the kitchen door, exchanged glances. They knew they couldn't wait any longer!
Without the slightest hesitation, Mozi walked two steps to the haystack and stomped hard on it, hoping to put out the fire.
"look!"
Agulang saw Mozi putting out the fire through the kitchen window. Overjoyed, Agulang snatched the bow from the barbarian's back, drew an arrow, aimed at Mozi's back, and was about to shoot!
Seeing this, Ma Zi panicked and stepped out from behind the chimney, shouting, "The barbarians have bows!"
He then threw the large stone he had been holding in his arms at Agulang, who was drawing his bow in the courtyard!
Inside the kitchen, Li Shiyang immediately yelled at the mole, "Mole, squat down!"
Mole reacted quickly; in fact, when Pockmarked Man on the roof shouted, Mole had already squatted down and was about to roll to the other side.
When faced with the stone that Ma Zi suddenly threw down from the roof, Agulang had no choice but to dodge it for a moment. In that moment, when he looked at the kitchen window again, there was no one there!
After uttering a curse, Agulang moved slightly, drew his bow upwards, and pointed it at Ma Zi, who was standing on the roof!
It was too late for Ma Zi to dodge. He could only turn to the side in an emergency to avoid the arrow that was being shot at him, at least to avoid the fatal spot in his heart.
No matter how nimble Zhi Mazi is, he can't catch up with Agulang, who is skilled in archery and horsemanship!
The arrow pierced the pockmarked man's left shoulder!
Thankfully, it was just my shoulder!
But the force of the arrow also made Ma Zi lose his balance, and he fell backward.
However, before Ma Zi's body fell, he saw Li Shiyue and the others running towards them from a high point on the roof.
Ma Zi, who had never given up hope, was now even more spirited despite being shot with an arrow!
Before rolling off the roof, Ma Zi used his strong right arm to grab onto the thatch on the roof, slowing his descent and cushioning the fall.
At this moment, Li Shiyue had already rushed to the gate of the courtyard, followed by Li Wangshui, Li Qiutian, Li Xiatian, and Shitou.
From a distance, Li Shiyue saw Ma Zi standing on the rooftop; she had witnessed the entire incident of Ma Zi being shot with an arrow.
No longer caring, Li Shiyue immediately used her inner strength to shake off Li Wangshui and the others. When she reached the courtyard gate, without hesitation, she raised her knife and slashed at Agulang, who was facing away from her and still holding a bow!
Just as the blade was about to touch Agulang's back, a barbarian next to Agulang saw Li Shiyue and blocked Li Shiyue's strike!
The sound of metal clashing was deafening. Li Shiyue had used all her strength this time. How could the barbarian have imagined that Li Shiyue, who was so small, would have such great strength?
Li Shiyue knocked the barbarian's knife away and then swung it at the barbarian.
The "sizzle" of the knife tip piercing flesh rang in Li Shiyue's ears. Li Shiyue had made a deep cut on the barbarian's chest, deep enough to expose the bone.
Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, the barbarian collapsed to the ground.
But by this time, Agulang had already realized what was happening and had already drawn his knife and hidden behind another barbarian.
