Chapter 12 Gunshots at Home

Tang Yue was speechless about her current height, but Li Mingxuan still respected her very much and would squat down to talk to her every time.
"Thank you, big brother."
Li Mingxuan smiled and rubbed her head. "No need to thank me, little girl. This is what I should do."
"Big brother, my name is Tang Yue. If you need help in the future, you can come to me."
"Puchi" Li Mingxuan couldn't help but burst out laughing. This little girl is really too cute.
"Okay, Tang Yue. I'll definitely come to you first if I need help in the future."
Tang Yue knew Li Mingxuan wasn't taking her seriously, but she was serious. It was just that she was too young now, so no one took her seriously. Tang Yue wasn't discouraged. She still had something she wanted Li Mingxuan's help with.
"Big brother, I have something to ask you."
"Well, go ahead."
Tang Yue didn't think twice and asked directly, "Big Brother, does your hospital accept medicinal herbs?"
Something flashed across Li Mingxuan's smiling face, and then his expression changed seriously. "Why, little girl, you want to sell medicinal herbs?"
Tang Yue nodded. This was indeed what she wanted to do, and there was nothing to hide.
"Tang Yue, medicinal herbs are not a trivial matter. It's not something a child can get involved in."
Tang Yue knew that any explanation would be futile, so she asked directly, "Big Brother, if we have any medicinal herbs, can we bring them over for you to see? The hospital won't accept them."
Tang Yue's question left Li Mingxuan with no room to refuse, so he could only nod.
Tang Yue went back happily, waving to Li Mingxuan as she left. Li Mingxuan shook his head helplessly and laughed. Forget it, if the little girl really came, he could just accept her.
After walking a long way out, Li Mingxuan raised his hand and slapped himself on the forehead. What was going on? Why did he feel pity for that little girl the moment he saw her?
Old Li was true to his word, arriving before noon. Lin Cuicui had already completed the discharge paperwork. She supported Tang Shengkai, while the three boys carried their belongings, and Old Li helped carry a few blankets as they left the hospital.
Tang Yue was very excited. She wanted to go home. That was her home.
Not far from the hospital, I saw many young men queuing in a long line waiting for something.
"Grandpa Li, what are you doing?"
Tang Yue really didn't know, so she asked directly.
"The other day the county issued a notice to start conscription. Oh, it's not easy to live a peaceful life now."
"What is conscription?"
Tang Shengkai touched his daughter's head and said, "Conscription means serving in the army. When there is foreign invasion, they will go to the battlefield to fight the enemy."
Tang Yue's eyes lit up. This place sounded like a great place.
"Grandpa Li, what are the requirements for conscription?"
Old Li turned around and looked at her, grinning, "Why, little girl, you still want to join the army?"
Tang Yue looked at Old Li with her big round eyes, neither saying whether to go nor not to go.
There was no point in rushing anyway, so Old Li was happy to chat with the children. "There are no requirements. As long as you're willing to go, you can go. Just don't let your family have any spies or lackeys of the foreign devils."
Tang Yue was still confused by what the people here were saying, but she understood what Old Li meant. Old Li continued, "But little girl, you can't be a soldier at your age. You're too young. And your body..."
Old Li shook his head. Tang Yue didn't say anything. She was well again, and these people would notice it later without her saying anything.
She was now waiting to reach the first level of Qi training, so that she would have more strength. When she reached the second level, she would be able to condense a thin line of spiritual energy and try to remove the bullet from her father's leg bone.
Don't be in a hurry, take your time.
They reached the mountainside again. This place was close to the mountains, and the spiritual energy was richer than anywhere else. Tang Yue pretended to sleep, closed her eyes, and began to absorb the spiritual energy. As she approached the foot of the mountain, she felt a slight click in her body, and then the spiritual energy began to flow smoothly through her body.
Tang Yue's lips curled slightly. It was done. She had reached the first level of Qi training. She had the ability to protect her family.
But this place is different from where she lived before. She has never known what a bullet is, and she wants to understand it clearly as soon as possible.
The people here looked so weak, so how did they manage to hit something so hard into their bodies from such a distance? Tang Yue was very curious.
When we entered the village, it was noon and the weather was cold, but there were still people outside basking in the sun.
"Hey, the third brother is back. How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Tang Shengkai greeted them with a smile, "Well, I was hospitalized for a few days, and I'm feeling much better now."
"Well, that's good. It's cold, go home and take care of it."
The donkey cart continued to move towards home. As it got closer, Tang Yue suddenly felt very uncomfortable. This feeling became stronger the closer she got to home.
Because Tang Shengkai had difficulty walking, Old Li was going to send him home. When they were more than 30 meters away from the door, Tang Yue suddenly felt the hairs on her body stand on end, and the uncomfortable feeling turned into palpitations.
She stood up and looked at the house. Even though there was a wall between them, she felt that there was someone behind the wall at the gate, and it felt like something was facing them.
Tang Yue felt unwell and opened her mouth to yell, "Get down quickly."
Just as Tang Yue opened her mouth, a gunshot rang out, breaking the tranquility of Qiligou.
Tang Shengkai and Lin Cuicui didn't react at all. Tang Yue reached out and pushed them down, then pulled Old Li up.
For some reason, the three Tangbei brothers listened to their sister and lay directly on the donkey cart.
The donkey pulling the cart was startled by the gunshot. It brayed twice, spread its hooves and ran away.
Tang Yue lived in the innermost part of the village, near the foot of a mountain. The road home was bordered by a mountain on one side and a two-meter-deep ditch on the other. With no one in control, the donkey pulling the cart rushed straight toward the ditch.
Seeing that the first shot missed, the people in the yard fired a second shot. Tang Yue heard a slight click when the other party pulled the trigger. She shouted again, "Jump out of the car."
This time, everyone jumped out of the car without hesitation. They only stayed on the ground for a moment and then fell into the ditch due to inertia.
Fortunately, the bottom of the ditch was filled with firewood that Tang Bei and his friends had bundled together from corn stalks when they were having fun, so they didn't hit the rocks directly when they fell. But even so, Old Li and Tang Shengkai were not having a good time either.
Old Li was old, and Tang Shengkai's leg injury hadn't healed yet. He had been lying in bed for over a month, completely exhausted. "What's going on?"
Old Li spat out a mouthful of blood and turned to ask Tang Shengkai. Tang Shengkai's face was grim at this time, and he didn't know who it was.
However, anyone who dared to openly shoot in the village was definitely not a Chinese, so he could only be here to seek revenge on him.
"Uncle Li, I'm sorry for getting you into trouble. Just run this way to the village and don't worry about us."
"What the hell is that? Are you a little devil?"
Old Li naturally also knew that Tang Shengkai was commended.
"How f*cking arrogant! I thought it was still the 1940s! How dare you come to Qiligou? Now that you're here, just stay here."
Tang Shengkai grabbed Old Li's arm and said, "Uncle Li, don't be impulsive. They have guns. Since they are here, they must be well prepared. We have nothing. If we go over there, we will die."
Old Li held two stones in his hands and said, "Humph, even if you don't have a gun, you can still kill people."
As he was about to walk up the ditch, Lin Cuicui's suppressed crying voice was heard.
"Yueyue, where is Yueyue?"
Several people hurriedly turned around to look, but Tang Yue was nowhere to be seen.
At this time, Tang Yue had already arrived behind the firewood pile outside the courtyard wall.
She had just jumped out of the car with everyone else and ended up in a ditch. She found firewood there, so she wouldn't fall to her death. So she ran up the ditch and landed under the pile of firewood.
He jumped up the slope nimbly and hid behind the pile of firewood.
As she came over, she had been listening carefully for any noises. She didn't hear the "click" or the "bang" of a gunshot. Tang Yue now knew what a gun was. She was shocked by how powerful it was.
And the click and bang of the gunshot should be connected.
She could hear the faint sound of breathing in the yard and knew the person's location based on the sound. Wait, two?
It seems she thinks highly of her father! Tang Yue picked up a few small stones on the ground. Judging from the sound, one of them was still hiding behind the courtyard wall. He must have been afraid that they had guns, so he didn't dare to show up. The other one should be at the door.
Tang Yue listened carefully and did not hear any breathing sounds in the room. It seemed that there were only these two people.
Tang Yue didn't know how to use the gun. Was it only effective at long range, or could it also be used up close? With her current abilities, she couldn't even shoot two stones at once, so how could she kill them one by one?
