After stopping, he wiped the blood off his face and said, "Damn it, I'm dead this time, don't try to scare me by pretending to be dead."
Inside the house, Wang Tiedan clutched Su Man's arm, his face pale. "Aunt Zhou."
"What's wrong?"
"He...the direction he stabbed was where Zhou Pingping was hiding."
Su Man was stunned for a moment. She felt uneasy, but she could only comfort Wang Tiedan, "She's at the bottom, she'll be fine."
However, is this really the case?
In the livestock shed, Zhou Pingping's shoulder and arm were bleeding profusely.
The knife just grazed her shoulder and went down, causing the skin and flesh on the outside of her arm to turn outward, causing her face to twist in pain.
She was afraid of making any noise, so she stuffed straw into her mouth and forced herself to hold it back.
The straw pricked my mouth, the bloody smell mixed with the foul odor of the livestock shed, and the sharp thorns pricked my soft mouth.
Zhou Pingping's tears had dried up, and she even felt that it would be better for her to just die.
...
Not far away, Su Man and Wang Tiedan had a discussion and came up with a plan.
It is impossible to do something blatantly under the noses of the bandits, unless they have more important things to do and they don't pay attention to this corner.
Looking at the dry firewood and straw in the yard, Suman had an idea.
It was a dark and windy night, and the bandits were drunk and just found a place to lie down.
Su Man and Wang Tiedan first found a house and quietly dealt with two lone bandits. Then they changed into the bandits' clothes and went to the vent to pile straw and firewood to ensure that the fire could start.
After everything was done, Su Man stayed behind to light the fire and asked Wang Tiedan to meet up with Wang the blacksmith to create momentum outside.
The wind was blowing from the north tonight. Suman set fire to several straw piles and houses along the wind direction, and soon the fire started.
The fire spread rapidly, smoke filled the air, and the bandits' screams pierced the night sky.
"Fire!"
The people who were sleeping got up in a panic, pushing each other, "Oh no, there's a fire!"
"Boss! Oh no, there's a fire!"
It was a mess outside. You bumped into me and I pushed you. We were in a panic and didn't know what to do.
The bandit leader kicked his brother and said, "What nonsense! There's a fire and you won't help! Are you going to burn down the whole village?"
Su Man, who was hiding in the dark, frowned when she saw that they had no intention of leaving. It seemed that she had to implement the second plan.
Soon, some younger brothers discovered the straw piles everywhere and came to report the news.
"Boss, someone set the fire on purpose!"
"Who is so bold as to bring him here?"
Seeing them searching everywhere, Suman painted her face black with dirt and rushed over in panic to report the news.
"Oh no! There are soldiers here!"
"What!"
The bandit grabbed Suman by the collar and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Su Man shrank her neck, pretending to be afraid, but in fact she was hiding her face. She pointed to the back of the village and said, "I saw soldiers standing guard outside. There were hundreds of them! They are coming!"
The bandits threw Suman to the ground and hurried to see. Sure enough, there was a faint flickering fire in the distance, as if it was coming towards them.
