Chapter 13: Shock in the Courtyard
13
While Tang Yue was thinking, she keenly heard the sound of the person moving at the door. Tang Yue secretly said, "Oh no! Did he know that someone fell into the ditch and wanted to come out to check the situation?"
Tang Yue didn't have time to think about it. She looked up at the height of the firewood pile. She secretly took a deep breath and jumped up, shooting the stone in her hand accurately at the person at the door.
The moment Tang Yue crossed the firewood pile, the man at the door seemed to sense something, but he was too relaxed and the muzzle of his gun was facing the door. The moment he turned the muzzle of the gun, the stone had hit him accurately between the eyebrows, and the gun slipped from his hand.
Tang Yue finally saw the black coats both people were wearing. She had spent the past two days in the hospital, and she had learned a lot about the world. Before she could think of anything else, the man at the door also noticed Tang Yue.
At the same time that the man at the door turned his gun, the man behind the door also turned his gun and aimed it at Tang Yue. Just after Tang Yue threw out a small stone, the man at the door had already shot at Tang Yue.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the bullet grazed Tang Yue's ear and slid behind her. After straightening her body, Tang Yue's heart was pounding like a drum, but there was no fear in her eyes, only calmness and determination.
Tang Yue curled up the corner of her mouth into a sneer, and at the same time praised the speed of the gun, saying it was indeed a good weapon.
She dodged to the side and flicked her finger, sending a stone flying with lightning speed, striking the man at the gate in the wrist. With a muffled groan, the man's pistol fell to the ground.
She stood on the wall and launched another attack. Another stone flew out, this time aiming for the man's forehead. The man already knew Tang Yue's weapon, but time was short, so he instinctively tilted his head to the left. The stone hit his right ear, and he cried out in pain, bending over to pick up the pistol on the ground.
Tang Yue didn't give him any chance to breathe. She swooped down from the wall like a cheetah, jumped directly in front of the man, and kicked him in the head.
The man groaned and fell to the ground. Tang Yue stepped forward again and punched the man's solar plexus. The man died without making any sound.
Tang Yue quickly picked up the pistol on the ground and ran to the door to pick up another gun.
Tang Yue was so fast that after she finished all this, Tang Bei and Tang Nan just ran to the gate and saw Tang Yue bending down to pick up the last gun. They were a little dumbfounded.
They had just fallen into the ditch together, and in their fear, they hadn't even taken care of their sister the first time. When Lin Cuicui was sobbing in panic, they realized their sister was missing.
At such a critical moment, this realization was like a bolt from the blue. Tang Shengkai was furious, and Lin Cuicui was about to climb over the ditch to look for someone.
Tang Dong was the last to jump down. At that time, he just thought that the downward momentum made him a little dizzy, but now that his sister was really gone, he was shocked. Just as Tang Shengkai ignored his leg injury and Lin Cuicui was about to run up, Tang Dong pointed his trembling hand in the direction Tang Yue ran.
"Mom and Dad, I just saw my sister running forward."
The voice was quiet, but in this oppressive moment, everyone heard Tang Dong's words clearly. Lin Cuicui looked ahead. Wasn't that right below her house? Now someone at home was holding a gun and trying to kill them, and she was still running towards that place. How dangerous was that?
Lin Cuicui no longer cared about the danger. Her daughter was over there, so she had to go and save her. Without saying a word, Lin Cuicui stumbled over there.
Tang Shengkai also dragged his legs to move forward. Tang Bei pulled his father's sleeve and said, "Dad, you wait here. Ernan and I will go first."
Old Li had also run forward. He looked back at Tang Shengkai and said nothing.
Lin Cuicui had just reached the bottom of the firewood pile when she heard another gunshot. Her heart was about to burst, and she tried to climb up with her bare hands. However, the slope here was vertical, making it difficult to climb. She failed twice. But Lin Cuicui showed no sign of stopping.
Tang Bei and Tang Nan just ran over. "Mom, let's go up first."
Lin Cuicui no longer cared about her two sons being so young, she wanted to lift them up and let them pull her up. Holding Tang Bei in her arms, she looked up and saw her little girl leaping from the pile of firewood, not knowing where she had jumped to.
Lin Cuicui almost threw Tang Bei down. Tang Bei also saw this and swallowed hard. When did his sister become so powerful?
Lin Cuicui quickly gathered her composure. No matter what, she was determined to save her daughter. Tang Bei, determined to pull himself up, clawed at the ground and, with Lin Cuicui's strength, pulled himself up. Old Li also lifted Tang Nan, but he was a few seconds late, missing Tang Yue's spectacular jump.
Tang Bei pulled Tang Nan with him, and when they came up, they heard a man's muffled groan coming from the yard.
He ran into the yard, completely forgetting Lin Cuicui and Old Li at the bottom of the ditch.
When they arrived at the gate, they saw Tang Yue bending down to pick up the gun. They chose to ignore the two bodies in the yard.
Tang Yue looked up and saw the two brothers Tang Bei and Tang Nan looking at her in shock. She sighed in her heart. She didn't know how to tell her family, but now she didn't have to think about it.
But she didn't know whether her family would accept her like this.
After all, she is in good health and her personality is different from the original owner. Tang Yue actually selfishly doesn't want to give up such a family, so she should try her best to grasp it.
She smiled sweetly at the two of them, "Brother, it's okay."
Tang Bei and Tang Nan stood there woodenly. At this time, Old Li and Lin Cuicui also rushed over. Seeing that Tang Bei and Tang Nan didn't care about them at all, Lin Cuicui decisively let Old Li use the force to go up first, and then pulled herself up.
The two men arrived at the gate in a mess, and all they saw was Tang Yue holding two guns and smiling sweetly.
When Tang Yue saw Old Li coming over, she was touched, but she still didn't want to expose her secret in front of everyone.
Tang Yue pointed with her little hand, "Mom, the big brother in green clothes who just killed these two people ran into the mountains. Should we chase him?"
He raised the muzzles of his two guns in front of him and said, "He didn't even take his trophies."
Tang Yue's habit of casually touching corpses was developed in the world of immortal cultivation. There, if one lacks the resources for cultivation, killing people and stealing treasures is normal.
Old Li looked towards the back mountain in the direction of Tang Yue's finger. He did not doubt Tang Yue's words at all, nor did he think about how Tang Yue, such a small person, climbed up the slope.
He believed Tang Yue's words. Those wearing green clothes, weren't they military uniforms? The third family was truly blessed. They must have happened upon some Chinese soldier carrying out some mission nearby, and heard the gunfire and came to help.
Old Li took a deep breath. His old arms and legs had been tossed around like that, and it really took their toll on him.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard chaotic footsteps outside the courtyard. They looked over and saw that Tang Yue had already quickly hidden the two guns.
The team leader and the villagers came running over with shovels, hoes, and kitchen knives, and a few hunters came running with long-barreled sand shotguns.
Aunt Qian's husband, Qian Dazhi, ran in front, rifle in hand. When everyone arrived at the gate, their eyes widened at the sight of the scene inside. What was going on? Who was so skilled? They'd just killed two spies with guns in their hands?
Without a doubt, looking at the clothes these two people were wearing, everyone in the village knew that they must be spies.
Old Li, without Tang Yue asking, had already told the story of the soldiers stopping by to take care of the two men. No one in the village doubted it. With only this family of old, weak, and disabled people, no one believed they could take out these two strong spies.
The team leader was old and could not run as fast as the others. He ran behind a few slower ones. He happened to see Tang Shengkai climbing up the ditch, so he pulled him up and arrived at the gate of the yard.
After hearing what happened, the captain felt that this matter needed to be reported. The spy had deliberately waited at Tang Laosan's house, which seemed to be related to the previous incident. He arranged for several villagers to carry the spy's body out and prepare to arrange for someone to send it to the county.
As soon as the person was lifted up, Tang Yue's voice came over.
