Chapter 22: Occupying the Manor

He was not too close to the door, but not too far away. He squatted behind the flower pond diagonally opposite the door. Arranged his arrows and prepared himself, he picked up a piece of frozen soil on the ground and slammed it against the door.

.

There was a loud bang on the door, and the voice inside became louder, as if they were shouting.

It was not long before the door of the room was pushed open suddenly, and a Jianlu appeared in Guo Dajing's sight. This guy had confusion and a bit of anger on his face, and he looked around with his eyes wide open.

Bang! Guo Dajing fired the crossbow arrow, then without pausing, he pulled the string and buckled the arrow, getting ready to shoot again.

The crossbow arrow hit Jianlu's face right in the face, and blood spurted out. He fell on his back, with only a small half of the arrow cluster exposed at the bridge of his nose.

The heavy sound of the corpse falling to the ground alerted another prisoner in the house.

He did not realize that it was an enemy attack, nor did he realize the danger or murderous intention, nor did he see clearly how his companion who walked out of the room suddenly fell.

"Nuha, what's wrong?" The Jianlu strode forward and appeared at the open door.

Before he could come out, Guo Dajing fired another arrow.

The arrow shot deeply into Jianlu's chest. He opened his mouth wide and looked down at the short cluster of arrows exposed on his chest.

Blood spurted out from his chest along the blood groove, and the blood foam mixed with bubbles filled his throat and mouth, and quickly took away all the strength from his body.

Guo Dajing drew the string and clasped the arrow, continuing to aim, waiting for the third Jianlu, the last enemy, to appear.

There was a banging sound inside the house, as if something had been knocked over. Immediately afterwards, the lights were extinguished, and shouts and angry voices could be heard.

Guo Dajing did not act in a hurry and waited patiently. There was only one left, and the manor was basically safe for him.

As for Aha in the front yard, there is a gate across the street, so they can't get in, and they don't dare to get in.

At this time, Guo Dajing felt relieved. All the prisoners were in the backyard, and the sentry tower was either unmanned or guarded by Aha.

It was too careless, or too arrogant. I am afraid that in Jianlu's impression, the forcibly relocated Nikan might dare to escape, that is, "defect", but he would never dare to attack the manor.

The angry shouts and shouts in the room were still ringing, and Guo Dajing could hear the shock, anger, and possibly disbelief in them.

Click! A black shadow suddenly broke through the window and flew out.

Guo Dajing's eyes moved, but he did not pull the trigger. It would be better if he came out, but it would be difficult to deal with him hiding in the house. Because he was not afraid of fighting head-on, Guo Dajing was not afraid of his opponent coming out and getting into a good posture.

The black shadow fell to the ground and made a strange noise. Guo Dajing also saw clearly that it was just a chair covered with clothes.

This Jianlu has some brains, and his methods are very similar to the plots in novels and the methods described in storytelling.

Just as the chair landed, another black shadow flew out of the window. Guo Dajing remained unmoved and just moved his eyes to look.

Come out and fight again, be sure to shoot again, Guo Dajing is very principled and can stick to it to the end.

Almost at the same time as the black shadow fell to the ground, a figure rushed out from the door, it was Jianlu who was left in the house.

At this time, Jianlu was already wearing armor, with a small round shield in his left hand protecting his body, and holding a scimitar in his right hand, dancing like flying, blocking the arrows, and leaping out with a big stride.

Well, we are quite prepared and equipped.

Guo Dajing pursed his lips, and the red dot he aimed at moved downwards slightly. Taking advantage of the opportunity where Jianlu had just jumped out and was searching and observing, he fired the crossbow arrow.

As soon as Jianlu saw the enemy hiding behind the flower pond, he felt a sharp pain in his thigh, screamed in agony, and fell to one side.

Ka! Jianlu leaned on the ground with his machete, barely supporting his fallen body, and gritted his teeth as he stared at the despicable attacker who stood up from behind the flower pond.

"Damn Nikan, coward..."

Guo Dajing showed no expression on his face, clasped the arrow and pulled the string, walked slowly, held the crossbow on his shoulder, aimed at Jianlu, and fired.

Jianlu's scolding stopped abruptly, and was replaced by another scream. The small buckler he hurriedly waved had no time to block the lightning-like crossbow arrows fired from a few meters away.

The small round shield protected his chest, but the crossbow arrow hit his lower abdomen. The scimitar fell from his hand, and Jianlu also fell down, sitting on the cold ground, looking down at the arrow clusters that had been deeply penetrated, and gurgled out.

of blood.

Guo Dajing continued to walk forward, holding and pumping his right hand on his thigh. The dog-legged knife flashed with a cold light, he slowly raised it, and under Jianlu's dull gaze, he slashed hard.

………………

The shouts, roars, screams, and random sounds from the inner courtyard inevitably spread to the outer courtyard.

Although it was not very clear, the Ahabs who heard it also realized that something was going on and that it was a serious situation.

But the head of Xiaozhuang was not there, and there was no order. The aha were just trembling and frightened, but they did not dare to push against the heavy door leading to the restricted area of ​​the inner courtyard.

Finally, the sounds in the inner courtyard fell silent, making it as quiet as an empty house.

Some Aha simply went back to sleep, while others stayed together in twos and threes, talking in low voices. This is not normal, very abnormal, and makes people uneasy.

Aha stood on the watchtower and looked hard into the inner courtyard, but he was not high enough and blocked by courtyard walls and houses, so he couldn't see anything.

After a long time, the heavy door was opened from the inside, making a heart-wrenching creaking sound, and slowly opened.

Amid several stunned looks, Guo Dajing walked out slowly with a small buckler on his arm and a sharp scimitar in his right hand.

Glancing at the several Aha's who were shaking their heads, Guo Dajing, with a murderous look on his face, raised his left hand and showed a bloody head, which was the head of Zhu Ketu, the owner of the village.

"Build, capture, and kill!" Guo Dajing put the scimitar in his right hand on his shoulder and shouted in a deep voice: "You, surrender, surrender?!"

Killing was indeed a secret recipe, and Guo Dajing felt that his stuttering had improved a lot.

Coax! The AHAs exclaimed and backed away one after another, looking at Guo Dajing with eyes full of extreme fear and disbelief.

Guo Dajing stepped forward, walking neither hastily nor slowly, with cold eyes as he looked at the Ahabs one by one.

The Aha people's hearts were cold and trembling, and they kept retreating under Guo Dajing's gaze, lowering their heads involuntarily, as if Guo Dajing's gaze was like a sword.

The footsteps were not heavy, but they were like the sound of drums, thumping in the hearts of the Ahabs, making them dizzy and their legs weak. Some Aha's legs were trembling and clamped together, resisting the urge to urinate.

Guo Dajing walked past Aha, who had an earth-colored face and lowered his head to evade. The area two or three meters around him seemed to be filled with a murderous aura, and no one dared to approach.

After walking through the main courtyard, Guo Dajing's eyes slanted upward, staring at Aha on the sentry tower, and shouted: "Come on down!"

Aha shivered, dropped the wooden gun in his hand, and walked down the wooden ladder. His legs became weak due to panic, and he stepped on the air and rolled down.

Ignoring the pain in his body, Aha hurriedly got up and tried to stay away, but he heard another shout: "Open the door!"

Guo Dajing watched Aha obediently pull the latch and push the door open, then turned away and quickly climbed up the sentry tower, grabbed the torch inserted next to the pillar, raised it high, and drew a circle in the distance.

It was not long before the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer. Several riders were galloping, followed by people running towards the gate of the manor.

………………….

As the night grew darker, the people in the village were waiting nervously for news that would determine their fate.

The room was silent, with only the fire burning, and occasionally a crackling sound, and a spark bursting out.

Sister Li Xiu, who had been lying quietly and unconscious, suddenly twitched. After a while, she slowly and laboriously opened her eyes.

Staring at the roof dully and sluggishly, her eyes rolled around, her mind gradually clearing, Sister Li Xiu frowned.

The vicious Jianlu, the bad guy with lustful eyes, kept asking questions, Xiaoni was crying and pulling, the knife cut down, and there was a sharp pain in her arm...

Fragments flashed in her mind one by one, and finally a complete picture was assembled. Sister Li Xiu's eyes widened, she moved her body in fear, and the pain in her arm made her moan.

Huh? Xiaoni, who was lying next to her, got up, rubbed her eyes, looked at Sister Li Xiu, and shouted in surprise: "Sister Xiu, you, you're awake."

Li Xiucheng, who was dozing on the side, was awakened, threw himself next to Sister, and cried out in a tearful voice: "Sister, sister."

Looking at her little brother, Sister Li Xiu endured the pain and reluctantly raised the corners of her mouth. She wanted to smile but didn't. She stretched out her hand to touch her little brother, but found that she couldn't lift her right hand, and there was another burst of pain.

"I -" Sister Li Xiu opened her mouth and struggled to spit out a word. Her throat felt as dry as a handful of sand.

Xiaoni took out a bowl of broth from the earthen pot on the fire, scooped it out with a small wooden spoon, blew a few mouthfuls, and fed it into Sister Li Xiu's mouth.

This little girl didn't know these things originally, but she learned a lot in the process of taking care of Guo Dajing.

The warm broth entered her mouth, and Sister Li had some difficulty swallowing it, but then it became easier and smoother. After eating half a bowl of broth, Sister Li felt a little stronger and her head was much clearer.

She lowered her head hard and saw her arms tied with triangle belts, hanging around her neck and placed on her chest.

"Sister, your hand is gone!" Li Xiucheng wiped away his tears and reached out to hold her left arm.

Sister Li Xiu looked at her injured arm, which was shortened. She didn't cry or scream, but remained silent.

Xiaoni flattened her mouth and wanted to cry, but she still held it back, but her tears fell unsatisfactorily. She sobbed and said: "Sister Xiu, my hand is gone, but you are still alive. You are here to save me. From now on,

I'll take care of you, okay?"

"Sister, I have grown up and will take care of you in the future." Li Xiucheng imitated Xiaoni's words.

A tear fell on Sister Li Xiu's face. The girl's eyes moved and she couldn't help but smile bitterly when she looked at the two children who were crying.

She slowly stretched out her left hand, patted her little brother's hand, touched Xiao Ni's face, wiped away the tears on the girl's face, and said: "Okay, you will take care of me from now on. Don't cry, don't cry!"

As she said that, Sister Li Xiu forced a smile and said, "Look, I'm not even crying, but I'm still laughing!"

It's okay if I don't say it, but when I say it, the two children cry loudly!
