The leading man looked at Wu Yan and the other two. There was a hint of confusion on his face, but more of it was anger aroused by the attitudes of the three men.
Behind him, the thugs who were about to look for a room stopped and looked at Wu Yan and the others at the door.
Wu Yan repeated it again: "Please repeat it again."
The man frowned: "Isn't she a prostitute?"
Cao'er pulled out the gun almost instantly, and Zhou Wen and Wu Yan's faces turned dark.
These people who came from the Daliang Dynasty have gone through so many dimensions, and the friendship between them is no longer the same as it was at the beginning. They have shared hardships, witnessed the whole nation becoming a soldier in the Luoyang base, and witnessed the oppressed slaves with their own eyes. They have already been reborn.
Wu Yan: “She is not.”
The man said "hmm". He did not apologize for admitting his mistake. Instead, he said, "There are so many of us. You should prepare at least twenty. How long will it take to prepare them?"
Zhou Wen finally couldn't help it. He asked angrily, "You are here to work! Where do you think this is?"
The man didn't take it seriously. Before he came, he thought there would be a lot of people here. As a result, when he looked up, they were all dwarves and goblins. Even if there were humans, they were skinny farmers, the elderly, the weak and the disabled. A place like this didn't need so many brothers at all.
"Our boss is here to give you some money." The man said matter-of-factly, "Of course you should entertain us."
In his impression, people who pay money should be flattered. All the bosses he had worked for in the past were like this. By following whoever has more money, he can show off.
Wine, meat, women, these are all things that the other party should pay for.
It's as natural as drinking water and breathing.
Wu Yan's mouth twitched, but he still suppressed his emotions and said, "I'm sorry, we don't provide such services, and there is no place nearby that provides them."
The man didn't say anything, and he didn't look like he was going to have a conflict. He just said, "Then you can go. Can you give me some wine and meat?"
Wu Yan: “Yes.”
Anyway, Hamm paid for all the food and drinks.
The man nodded: "Then send some wine and meat over. I heard you have candy for sale here, I want some too."
From the beginning to the end, when this man spoke, all the men beside and behind him kept their mouths shut. They knew without thinking or asking that he was the absolute boss of this group of people.
After Wu Yan agreed, he faced the man and backed away from the door.
Only after closing the door did Wu Yan breathe a sigh of relief.
Although they had guns, the number of people here outnumbered them by many times. Moreover, it was obvious at a glance that these people were desperadoes, and desperadoes would not necessarily be afraid of seeing blood - although they were very likely to retreat, Wu Yan did not want to gamble on the possibility of them retreating.
"What kind of people are they?" Zhou Wen couldn't help but curse, "Bandits!"
Wu Yan sneered: "Aren't the bandits in our area like this? They bully men and women and dare to do anything."
After cursing, the two looked at Cao'er, looking at her with some concern, not knowing how to comfort her.
Instead, Cao'er smiled at them and said, "It's okay. I'm not scared."
Cao'er had long thought that she would face such a situation. When fleeing famine in the Daliang Dynasty, those men didn't care whether women looked good or not. They were more like beasts than animals.
The desperadoes here are no better than those men.
"I guess they will take action in the next few days." Wu Yan couldn't stop worrying on the way back.
They have seen such people before, so they can recognize them at a glance.
That kind of ferocity does not require the other party to open their eyes wide and try hard to express it, but it has long been engraved in their bones. It is out of place when standing with normal people, and it carries with it an extreme arrogance and indifference.
Cao'er was not worried about this: "There are too many people in the town now. If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid they might accidentally hurt someone."
"They're also afraid that we might accidentally hurt the townspeople."
Wu Yan and Zhou Wen both sighed. Swords and guns have no eyes, and the same goes for bullets. No matter how good your marksmanship is, if there are too many people and too much chaos, there is no guarantee that you will not hurt anyone by mistake.
"Let's listen to the immortal." Wu Yan, "The immortal will definitely have a solution!"
Zhou Wen also breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, with the immortal here, this is nothing."
As long as Ye Zhou is there, they have a backbone.
Ye Zhou also knew that Ham had come with bad intentions this time, but he did not think that Ham would directly break up with him. Perhaps in the past, when he saw so many thugs, he would think that the other party would definitely take action, but now he thought more and thought carefully about it, and he could understand why Ham did this.
"He feels that he has suffered a loss." Ye Zhou was sitting in the lounge. This time, only Chen Shu and Zou Ming were in the lounge.
Chen Shu wiped the gun in her hand. She didn't know much about business, so she immediately asked curiously, "He doesn't want to pay?"
Ye Zhou shook his head: "What he regrets is not the money, but only having one lamp."
Even though it was Ham's own decision to buy just one lamp, at that time he felt that something unique would bring him more benefits.
But after returning, with more time, he will most likely regret it, but the money was set by Ye Zhou and he can't change it, so his biggest demand now should not be money, but...
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "He probably wants to overturn our previous agreement. One lamp is not enough."
Chen Shu thought about it, she looked at Ye Zhou's face and asked: "What if you don't agree?"
"That's why he brought so many people with him." Ye Zhou didn't think this was outrageous. As long as it was related to money and interests, nothing was outrageous. People could become ghosts for money, let alone in such an era.
Ye Zhou: "He thinks I have the means to protect myself, so he won't tear his face off with me right away. The people he brought with him are his backup means, equivalent to his last card."
"But his goal is not to make a profit without paying any money, otherwise he would have taken action directly and caught us off guard."
Ye Zhou looked relaxed. He touched his chin and said, "There's nothing we can do now. Let's see how Ham performs."
Zou Ming suddenly said, "If something does happen, we must first ensure that the supermarket will not be damaged and the townspeople will not be accidentally injured. Chen Shu and I will monitor that group of people."
"Okay." Ye Zhou did not refuse. "When the time comes, you can make your own decision. Don't ask me."
Chen Shu: "...When is it necessary?"
Ye Zhou blinked.
Chen Shu is a sniper, and sniping requires patience and absolute obedience. Even if she has been waiting for days and nights, she will never shoot unless she gets the order to shoot.
Ye Zhou thought for a moment and said, "When you think they might threaten the lives of the townspeople."
Chen Shu looked at Zou Ming, and Zou Ming replied: "I know."
"Then you guys go and have some rest." Ye Zhou, "I'll wait for Ham to come find me."
"If it can be resolved peacefully, then resolve it peacefully."
Ye Zhou is not afraid of danger now, but there is no need to take risks if they can be avoided.
Chen Shu went out carrying the gun, but Zou Ming did not leave. He watched Ye Zhou sit in front of the computer, pinching the back of his neck tiredly with his hands, and occasionally hitting his shoulders lightly with his fists.
Zou Ming closed the door, walked behind Ye Zhou again, and put his hand on Ye Zhou's shoulder.
He could see that Ye Zhou's muscles suddenly tensed up. Ye Zhou turned to look at Zou Ming, who had a look of panic that he could not hide: "What's wrong?"
Zou Ming: "Nothing, I saw you rubbing your shoulders."
After saying that, Zou Ming's men exerted a little force, and Ye Zhou's sore shoulders seemed to relax instantly.
Ye Zhou let out a breath. He felt a little awkward and could only turn his body to reject Zou Ming's kindness.
Zou Ming's hands were suspended in the air. Ye Zhou didn't even look up to see Zou Ming's face and expression. He immediately turned to look at the computer screen, lowered his head and said softly, "You can get out."
This time Zou Ming didn't say anything and quietly retreated.
Ye Zhou was the only one left in the huge lounge. He couldn't bear to read the densely packed text and pictures on the screen, so he lay down on the table tiredly.
He could hear his own breathing, and everything around him was so quiet as if he was the only one in the world.
Ye Zhou closed his eyes, but as soon as he closed his eyes, Zou Ming's face appeared in his mind.
Now every time he saw Zou Ming, he couldn't help but feel flustered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Did he hate Zou Ming? It seemed that he didn't, otherwise he should have fired Zou Ming immediately when he first knew what he was thinking.
But does he like Zou Ming? Ye Zhou is not sure. He has never thought about finding a same-sex partner as his life partner since he was a child.
He doesn't care about other people's affairs. Whether others are with men or women, or even marry virtual characters, it has nothing to do with him.
So he does not discriminate against homosexuals and sexual minorities. What does other people's lives have to do with him?
But when it came to him, he could no longer stay out of it.
He felt that he should be stern and even ruthless in clarifying this matter with Zou Ming, and tell him clearly that he would never fall in love with a man, but every time he wanted to open his mouth, he inexplicably did not say these words.
It seems that once he says it, he will have to bear the consequences that he doesn't want to or can't bear.
Ye Zhou raised his head from his arms and rubbed his face with his hands.
He forced himself to divert his attention and stop thinking about anything related to Zou Ming.
What needs to be resolved right now is Ham and the money needed to leave this dimension.
·
"So many carriages." The townspeople who had just returned from hunting walked into the city gate in a dishevel, carrying their prey.
The goblins looked in shock at the dozens of horses tied up in an open-air stable not far from the city gate - the makeshift stable was not very luxurious, but the sight of dozens of horses gathered together was enough to make the goblins exclaim.
"So many horses!" The goblins could not hide their excitement. "I heard from the humans that horses are very expensive!"
"Five gold coins for a horse!"
"Is the merchant here?"
The goblins have never seen a proper merchant. The only merchants they have seen are their own kind, and their own people do not have so many horses. Every time a merchant from the same tribe goes up the mountain, he will only bring two goods with him, and the goods are also loaded into cloth bags.
"He brought a lot of guys with him!" Byron trotted over to the goblins. He had been staying in the town, guarding the city gate, so he spared no effort to tell the goblins how dangerous these people were. "The shortest of them is this tall."
Byron pointed above his head, a height that all goblins had to look up to.
But the goblins didn't think it was dangerous. They said with ease, "That's impossible."
"If they wanted to rob the supermarket, why would they move in? They would just call us."
They all thought Byron was too young.
Another goblin said to Byron, "When we were in the mountains, there were merchants who came to do business with us. He only brought two people with him each time, but we never attacked him. Do you know why?"
They knew clearly that the merchants were cheating them, but they had no choice but to endure it. It was not because they could not defeat the merchants, nor because they were all kind people.
"Because if we kill him or drive him away, and he doesn't come here anymore, who else will come here?" The goblin said with a smile, "But if he appears in front of me now, I will beat him so hard that he won't know his own name."
The goblins laughed.
But Byron was not convinced. He said anxiously, "You dare not touch him because you are worried that you will never meet another businessman again. He does not touch you because he will not be able to make money from you after touching you."
"But if this person robs a supermarket, he can get enough money to last him a lifetime, or even several lifetimes!"
The goblins stopped laughing now, but they still didn't think it was a big deal, let alone dangerous.
"Hey, you just think too much. Be careful or you may end up having no hair in the future."
"He certainly won't do that. Merchants are not bandits."
Byron couldn't reason with them, so he could only run towards the dwarves and elves who were coming down the mountain together.
Before the elf could understand what was happening, the dwarf believed it almost immediately.
"What should we do?" The dwarf chief did not look down on Byron because of his young age.
Byron looked at the dwarf chief blankly. He didn't know either. He only knew that it was very dangerous.
Seeing his expression, the clan leader did not ask any more questions, but just said: "You can go ask Kelly."
They were not familiar with the employees, and the townspeople knew very well that the people in the supermarket did not seem willing to interfere in their lives, so they let them maintain the town's law and order on their own and helped them renovate the oil press and bakery. Everyone knew that the people in the supermarket were ready to leave at any time.
Only Byron and Kelly have a good relationship.
After being reminded, Byron immediately ran to the supermarket and called out Feng Ling, who was resting on the sofa after finishing training.
Feng Ling was exhausted after a long day, and her voice was almost hoarse. She walked out of the supermarket with a shaky step and took Byron to the open space beside the supermarket. She found a stone, blew it casually, and sat on it. She said to Byron, "Don't worry about this matter. Just remember not to get close or leave the house if you hear any loud noises in the future."
If Byron's previous certainty was direct, then Feng Ling's words confirmed his guess. He widened his originally small eyes and said in a slightly trembling voice: "He, they will really..."
Feng Ling rubbed her temples and said, "I don't know. Of course it would be best if I don't know. But if I do know, there's nothing I can do."
Bailun's eyes suddenly turned red. He looked at Feng Ling and said in a choked voice, "Are you guys leaving soon?"
"No, otherwise why should we be trained, why should we be allowed to patrol on our own..." Byron didn't want the people in the supermarket to leave, and he didn't want Feng Ling to leave even more. He was rescued from the dungeon by them, and he gained a sense of security from Feng Ling and the others that he had never had before.
"Take me away." Byron said eagerly, "Take me away, anywhere, I can do a lot of things!"
"I can do anything! I can move things, clean the table, I can also... I can also..."
He was so anxious that he was sweating. The more he spoke, the more anxious he became. In the end, he even burst into tears. He held back his tears and stammered, "I am useless. I am of no use at all..."
Byron suddenly realized that there was nothing he could do for the supermarket. When it came to moving things, Wu Yan and the others were stronger than him. When it came to receiving customers, Feng Ling and the others were more talkative than him. He didn't even have the strength to be a thug. He was so mediocre that he was useless, and there was no way he could convince Feng Ling to take him away.
Even his actions of repaying his gratitude are something that everyone can do. He is not irreplaceable, and he does not have the capital to allow the supermarket to take him with it.
Seeing Byron crying so miserably, Feng Ling sighed. She patted Byron on the shoulder and comforted him, "You are too young. We can't take you away even if we want to. Here are your people and the environment you are familiar with. We will come back when you grow up. If you still want to go with us, I will help you talk to the boss."
"What's more..." Feng Ling ruffled Byron's hair again and said, "Maybe if you stay here, you can achieve something."
Byron cried, "What...hiccup...what achievement?"
Feng Ling smiled and didn't continue talking. She just took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped the tears from Byron's face. While wiping, she asked, "Do you want to eat something? I'll get you two sausages and an ice cream, okay? I remember you like mango flavor."
Byron was not hungry, but he knew that Feng Ling liked to "feed" him. It might be because he was too hungry when he was rescued, so he would stuff food into his mouth as soon as he saw it, even if he vomited after eating it, he would continue to eat.
So Feng Ling has regarded giving him food as the only way to comfort him.
But Byron nodded anyway.
He never thought of telling Feng Ling that he was no longer the starving ghost who had never eaten. No one had ever cared about him as much as Feng Ling did, so he would rather eat himself to death than reject Feng Ling's kindness.
He has met one person like this, and he may never meet another one.
The sky gradually darkened, and a dull roar was heard in the distance. Not long after, a drizzle of rain fell from the sky, and soon turned into a heavy downpour. Fortunately, the hunters had returned, and people stayed in the room that was sheltered from the wind and rain, cleaning the dirt and grass clippings on their bodies.
Ham, who had been sleeping in bed for most of the day, finally woke up. He yawned and slowly moved to the edge of the bed.
Ham shouted to the door, and the butler outside responded quickly, walked into the house eagerly, and helped Ham put on his clothes and shoes.
Dinner had been prepared long ago. Since leaving the supermarket last time, Ham had developed the habit of eating three meals a day.
Her body had become visibly fuller, and she had been spanked more than once since the last time.
Ham: "Where do they live? How far away is it? What was the attitude of the people in the supermarket? Did they say anything?"
The butler half-knelt down to straighten his clothes and said carefully, "They live in the second building on the left, not far away. The people in the supermarket didn't say anything, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual."
Ham nodded. He patted the servant's hand. He had just had a nap and said with a satisfied look on his face, "They should know it clearly."
The servant asked worriedly, "The master is living here with us, will they do anything to us?"
Hamm disagreed: "I am a businessman. No one knows what a businessman is thinking better than me. Unless I take action first, he won't."
"We're all in this for the money." Ham straightened his collar. "We want to make money, not to have a grudge against money."
"That's enough." Ham lightly kicked the servant and said with a smile, "Get up."
The servant quickly got up and asked cautiously, "Master, would you like to eat something before you go?"
Ham shook his head: "No, let's solve this matter first, otherwise I won't be able to eat."
He regretted it on the way back last time. He only gave one lamp, but that didn’t mean he only bought one lamp.
After obtaining the title, he could use the lamp to win over other nobles. Otherwise, no noble would be willing to associate with him. Even if he became a noble, he would still be at the bottom of the nobility.
As for whether the king would find out - by then he would have his own territory, not in the royal city, how many people would find out? Even if they did, he would have ways to prevent others from saying anything.
After Ham went back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was too impulsive at the time. However, it was really embarrassing to say that he regretted it at the last minute. He hoped that Ye Zhou would take the initiative to bring it up, and then he would take advantage of the situation and make the deal.
As for so many thugs, they were the pressure he brought to Ye Zhou.
It won't be used easily.
Ham walked to the supermarket in a good mood. Seeing the employees waiting at the door of the supermarket, Ham waved his hand nonchalantly and walked towards the lounge.
Li Gu, who was guarding the door, saw Ham coming. She leaned over slightly and opened the door of the lounge.
Ham didn't even look at Li Gu and walked straight in.
Ham walked into the lounge, walked easily to the sofa, and looked at Ye Zhou who was sitting opposite him.
"Mr. Zhou." Ham smiled at Ye Zhou after sitting down, "I haven't been here for a while. This time I came here, I found that there are many more people in the town."
Ye Zhou also smiled: "Mr. Ham looks more handsome than the last time he came."
Ham smiled and waved his hand: "This town is now in good shape. I wonder who is the lord who manages this town."
Ye Zhou still had a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything right away. Ham observed Ye Zhou's expression and felt that he got the reaction he wanted to see. He said with a hint of meaning: "Sometimes it's normal for some places to not have a lord to manage them, as long as they are poor enough, or no one tells the nearby nobles."
Ye Zhou: "Mr. Ham is ready to help me find a solution?"
Ham: "Of course we help each other. I can help you with what you want to do, and you can help me with what I need. It can't be that only one party pays and the other party doesn't do anything, right?"
Ye Zhou nodded: "Fifty thousand gold coins is indeed a lot."
Ham breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became much more sincere. "Yes, for these 50,000 gold coins, I borrowed everything I could, and even sold several of my own shops. The nobles are rich now, but it's not easy to please them. They are getting more and more greedy, like dogs that can't be fed enough."
In fact, Ye Zhou didn't really care how many lamps Ham wanted. After all, compared with 50,000 gold coins, even if he gave him 30,000 lamps, Ye Zhou would still be earning money, and the system looked at the cash flow, not the net income.
But Ye Zhou didn't want Ham to achieve his goal too easily, otherwise he would become more demanding.
"It's not easy, Mr. Ham." Ye Zhou took a sip of tea. He knew that it would be impossible to go to bed on time tonight. "But you also know that it is not easy to make a lamp like this. I don't have many on hand. And you asked that if I sell it to you, I can't sell it to others. I also have to bear the risk."
"After all, if I have more lamps in my hands but cannot sell them, wouldn't I be losing money?"
Ham didn't take Ye Zhou seriously at all. Both of them knew that these words were nonsense.
Although it was a one-time deal, fifty thousand gold coins were enough, enough for anyone to squander for several lifetimes.
But Ham still said, "Let's help each other. How about this, you give me a few more lamps this time. If I make money from these lamps later, we can continue to split it. After all, I still need to buy batteries from you."
Ye Zhou looked at Ham in confusion: "It was agreed that it was one lamp."
Ham laughed loudly, and said, "It is true that you said one lamp before, but you can't sell it later anyway. It doesn't matter whether you give it to me or not. If you give it to me, we can still discuss business later. After all, the nobles don't know about the things you have here yet."
"If they knew, would they come to negotiate like me? They are not as trustworthy as I am." Ham looked into Ye Zhou's eyes, "The money is there, waiting for us to earn it. You need me, don't you?"
Ye Zhou looked as if he was convinced by Ham, and tapped his fingers on the coffee table: "How many do you want?"
Ham also stopped smiling: "Ten."
Ye Zhou shook his head: "No, there are only five."
Hamm didn't believe it: "Seven."
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "Three."
Ham immediately said, "Five, all right, five will do."
Ye Zhou: "The batteries are still the same. I'll give you ten pairs for one lamp, but if you come back to buy them later, it will be one hundred gold coins per pair."
Ham had no objection to this. The lamp would surely be sold, and he could resell a pair of batteries for at least a thousand.
Those nobles would not be short of this little money.
Although five lamps were still not enough for Ham, he did not say anything else, but asked: "What are Mr. Zhou's plans for tomorrow?"
Ye Zhou shook his head, and Ham immediately said, "Why don't we just take a walk around tomorrow."
Ye Zhou did not refuse.
Everyone was having fun in the lounge, but outside the lounge, Wu Yan pulled Zou Ming aside.
Wu Yan had never been so anxious before. Zou Ming: "Go ahead."
Wu Yan whispered, "I saw someone climb out of the window of that house. I don't know what they are going to do. Let Zhou Wen and Cao'er follow them first."
He originally wanted to follow them himself and let Cao'er come back to report, but Zhou Wen and Cao'er were like wolves seeing their prey, running faster than the other. Naturally, he, who was thinking more, stayed behind, and he was the only one who could report.
Zou Ming immediately put his gun on his back and asked as he walked out, "Did they bring a walkie-talkie?"
Wu Yan also replaced his pistol with a rifle, put it on his back and trotted after Zou Ming: "I brought it, but I was afraid they would get too close to that group of people, so I didn't contact them."
Zou Ming nodded: "Which direction are they going? Follow them first, and call them when you are not sure."
·
"There are so many bugs." Cao'er complained in a low voice. They were not prepared when they came out. Although there were bugs in the town, there were definitely not as many as in the grass. Cao'er and Zhou Wen only dared to follow quietly in the grass. Not only were they cut by the grass, but they were also bitten by bugs.
Cao'er kept picking at the bite marks on her face, and only stopped when blood came out.
Zhou Wen was not much better than Cao'er, except that he was bitten on the leg instead of the face.
They kept going forward, digging and clawing, until Cao'er whispered, "Get down!"
Zhou Wen lay down on the grass with Cao'er without thinking.
Cao'er was still young when Ye Zhou rescued her, so her night blindness was not that serious. Although Zhou Wen can see things at night now, his eyesight is still not as good as Cao'er's. He knows this well, so he trusts Cao'er very much.
"They stopped." Cao'er whispered.
Zhou Wen asked: "What are they doing here? Could it be that Ham asked them to do something bad?"
Cao'er didn't think so: "I think they ran away on their own."
The people who were temporarily assembled have their own leaders and are unlikely to listen to Ham in everything.
Cao'er looked ahead.
There were about forty thugs who ran out. They seemed to be looking for something and were looking around.
Cao'er couldn't guess what they were going to do. Could it be that they had another master and came here to rob others?
Just when Cao'er came up with a lot of possibilities and rejected them one by one, the group of people seemed to have finally found their target.
She watched them walk towards a farmer's house not far from the roadside.
"Get up quickly! Something big has happened!" Cao'er hurriedly pulled Zhou Wen up, not caring about the bugs on his body, and almost crawled forward.
The two sons of that family went out, leaving only two old people and three daughters at home!
She thought of the requests the group had made when they first arrived, and almost instantly knew what they were going to do.
"How many bullets do you have?!" Cao'er asked Zhou Wen while running forward with her back bent.
Zhou Wen whispered, "Except for the ones in the magazine, I only have ten rounds on me."
They came out in a hurry and without flashlights. In the pitch-dark night, it was simply a pipe dream to want to kill one person with one shot. Even for sharpshooters, few could practice to locate the enemy by sound.
"I'll go to the front first. You use the intercom to tell Brother Wu. The two of us can only delay time." Cao'er said to Zhou Wen beside her.
Zhou Wen did not refuse. He was not a very opinionated person, but he would listen if someone was willing to make a decision.
So he squatted down on the spot, took out the walkie-talkie and contacted Wu Yan.
Cao'er approached the wooden house.
She remembered this family not because she had an extraordinary memory, but because this family also wanted to move to the town, but because their two sons had not returned home yet and they could not afford to buy a house, they were unable to move in.
Cao'er had told them before that they could move in first and pay after their son came back.
But the old couple didn't want to, as they were afraid that their son wouldn't be able to see his family when he got home.
The area is vast and sparsely populated, so it is often the case that the two nearest households are an hour's walk apart.
The thugs had already reached the cabin.
Cao'er clenched the gun tightly in her hand. She swallowed nervously and stared at the wooden house, afraid that the people in the house would come out.
The leading man knocked on the wooden door.
Cao'er looked at the dim light of fire coming through the cracks in the wooden boards.
"Who is it?" The old man's voice came from inside. The family was still a little alert and did not let the old woman and daughters answer the door.
After confirming that there was someone in the house, the leading man did not say anything, but kicked the wooden door.
There was a loud "bang", but the wooden door withstood the kick and was not broken.
Almost at the same moment the wooden door was kicked, Cao'er raised her gun and pulled the trigger in the direction of the man.
The sound of gunfire, louder than the sound of a wooden door being kicked, exploded in everyone's ears and seemed particularly loud in the middle of the night.
The men didn't know what was happening. After a brief silence of a few seconds, someone in the crowd suddenly fell to the ground. He covered his stomach and could feel a sticky liquid flowing out of his stomach with his hands, but he couldn't feel where the wound was.
"I'm hurt." The fallen man murmured, "I'm hurt..."
The people around him rushed over immediately. The lights in the wooden house had gone out and the faint firelight had disappeared. They could not see where the injured person was injured. They could only see the outline of a person.
The crowd immediately started to make noise: "What happened?!"
"Who was injured? How was he injured?"
"Where is the wound? What weapon was used?"
The thugs no longer wanted to kick down the door. With no enemy in sight, panic spread among the crowd.
"Shut up!" the leading man shouted, "Stop making noise!"
The thugs shut up.
The whole world fell silent. After the shooting, Cao'er lay prostrate on the grass, her heart pounding. This time she was fighting one against forty, and her task was to delay time, not to engage in a head-on confrontation.
The person who just fell to the ground was not her target at all.
With the bullets she has now, she can't kill so many people, not even with Zhou Wen.
Those people were forced into a desperate situation, and they might not be afraid to fight back despite the bullets.
They are not ordinary civilians, they are villains who hang their heads on their belts.
Cao'er watched those people disperse in all directions without any communication. She even saw someone walking towards her direction. Due to the limited range of the pistol, she was now very close to them. Even with the cover of night and grass, there were no trees here. If she stood up, she would be discovered immediately.
It’s okay, it’s okay, Cao’er said to herself, at least those people won’t kick the door anymore. She has a gun and they don’t.
Even if she can't win, she can still run and use her gun to buy herself some time.
Cao'er took a deep breath and clenched her teeth. At this critical moment, she suddenly heard a strange noise in the grass behind her.
In an instant, Cao'er's scalp felt tingling.
Zhou Wen was running. After reporting the news to Wu Yan, he immediately came to find Cao'er.
But he didn't dare to shout, he could only jog and explore the grass. His eyesight was poor, so he didn't see the thugs in the distance.
Cao'er turned her head with difficulty and saw Zhou Wen running towards her.
"There!" Cao'er heard someone shouting from the direction of the wooden house.
She immediately stood up, raised her pistol, and fired at the figure in front of her without any hesitation.
After firing the shot, Cao'er immediately shouted, "Don't move! Otherwise, you will end up like those two people just now!"
The figures that were originally approaching Cao'er stopped where they were.
The sound of gunfire and the sudden fall of their companion frightened them.
The first person to fall had not yet allowed them to connect the noise to injury.
After all, the only weapons that can hurt people at a long distance are bows and arrows or crossbows, but neither bows and arrows nor crossbows can achieve that effect, not to mention that they have not yet touched the arrow body.
But when they heard it was a woman's voice, they didn't panic too much and just stood there motionless.
Cao'er: "Whoever dares to move, I will kill him. You can try it!"
At this time, Zhou Wen also ran behind Cao'er following the sound.
Cao'er knew that the person behind her was Zhou Wen. She didn't put down her gun or turn around. She just asked in a low voice: "Have you told Brother Wu?"
Zhou Wen: "Yes, they said they will be here soon, and Brother Zou will be there too."
Cao'er: "Did Brother Zou say anything else?"
Zhou Wen whispered, "Brother Zou told us to try not to do anything, but if we have to do something, we should kill him."
Cao Er pursed her lips: "Got it."
Zhou Wen couldn't see clearly just now, but now he can barely see the shadow of a human figure. He whispered, "We can only remain in this stalemate now."
Zhou Wen also raised his gun.
Cao'er felt a little regretful. If she had known that Zhou Wen's night blindness was so serious, she should have let Zhou Wen stay in the town to report.
But they didn't have time to discuss it at that time.
Cao'er kept her arms raised until her hands felt sore soon, but she was unwilling and afraid to put them down.
Faced with more than forty desperate criminals, Cao'er's nerves were extremely tense.
She saw the figure swaying and immediately fired a shot at it.
The man fell down immediately.
Cao'er's hands were shaking. After she fired the shot, she realized that the man was not trying to attack her, but was just losing his balance.
But she couldn't think too much about it, she could only tell herself that she did the right thing.
Finally, the other side couldn't hold on any longer, and the leading man yelled, "Who the hell are you? What the hell are you? What do you want to do?!"
Cao'er looked around and found that she couldn't find the position of the leading man.
There were too many people, and she only had a pair of eyes, so she couldn't see them all.
There was a rustling sound in the grass again.
Cao'er nervously fired several shots at the grass not far away.
Is that person
