"Liuyuan, don't go out by yourself anymore." Sister Xiaoyu said in the dark room, "What if something happens to you? How am I going to explain it to your brother?"
"Don't worry, I won't," Yan Liuyuan promised. He had been trusting his Sister Xiaoyu more and more lately because Li Xiaoyu had stayed by his side even when she could have abandoned him.
When he had a high fever a few days ago, Sister Xiaoyu could have just taken the money and left. But Sister Xiaoyu did not do so.
In his dreams, there would always be a fresh towel wiping his face and armpits to cool him down. Yan Liuyuan could even hear a gentle singing voice. It sounded like he was in his mother's embrace when he was a child. It was like a warm ocean.
Yan Liuyuan had never experienced any of this before. Even though Ren Xiaosu had given him a lot of warmth, that young man had always given him a back view that he had to chase after instead of an embrace.
"Mhm." Sister Xiaoyu felt relieved when she heard Yan Liuyuan agree to it. She thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Since you've recovered from your illness, you'll have to go back to class tomorrow. You have to catch up on the homework that you've missed out on recently."
Yan Liuyuan turned pale with fright. "Sister Xiaoyu, you don't have to do this, right? My brother isn't home!"
"That won't do either." Sister Xiaoyu said, "If Xiaosu comes back and finds out that you've missed out on your homework, it'll definitely be my responsibility. He told me this before he left."
"When did he tell you this?!" Yan Liuyuan wailed, "I never heard him mention this at all!"
Sister Xiaoyu smiled as she lay on the mattress on the floor. "In any case, I don't care. You just have to be obedient."
Yan Liuyuan stared at the ceiling in despair. However, there was a hint of a smile on his lips. But at this moment, he heard someone jump into the yard. And it wasn't just one person!
Sister Xiaoyu also heard the sound. However, Sister Xiaoyu, who was usually gentle and timid, pulled out the machete from under the pillow. She gritted her teeth and said, "Stay here and don't move!"
In the dimly lit room, Yan Liuyuan could even see his Sister Xiaoyu trembling slightly. They both knew that someone who had climbed over the wall at such a late hour was definitely up to no good. But now that Ren Xiaosu was not around, Sister Xiaoyu felt that she should shoulder the responsibility of protecting Yan Liuyuan.
In the next moment, three strong men kicked open the door of their house. Two of them tried to pin down their Sister Xiaoyu on the ground, while the other one directly stabbed Yan Liuyuan on the bed with a bone knife.
Although Sister Xiaoyu was holding a bone knife, the problem was that her strength as a woman was far inferior to that of a grown man!
One of the strong men who pounced at her grunted as though he had been stabbed by the bone knife. However, the other man kicked the bone knife out of her hand!
Yan Liuyuan looked at them with the help of the moonlight. In an instant, he recognized the three of them as idlers from town. He did not expect they would set their sights on the school!
Perhaps they felt that Ren Xiaosu had earned some money from the clinic he had opened and that Ren Xiaosu was not in town at this time, so they came up with evil intentions.
Sister Xiaoyu had been very cautious when it came to spending money. Every time she bought groceries, she would haggle for a long time and would even pick wild vegetables to pretend that she had no money.
But since Yan Liuyuan was sick and needed nutrition, she still ended up buying some meat and attracted the attention of others.
This was the horror of not having a man in the family. Although Yan Liuyuan was a man, he was too young and did not have much of a deterrent effect.
Now that Yan Liuyuan and Sister Xiaoyu might be carrying a huge sum of money, it didn't seem like the school would be an obstacle for the thugs to stop.
At the same time, Yan Liuyuan heard the door to the house next door being kicked open. It sounded like someone else was trying to kill Zhang Jinglin! These people were too arrogant. They even dared to touch the teacher at the school. They wanted to silence him so no one would know who was the culprit behind the attack.
But at this moment, a gunshot rang out in the night. The idler who had charged at Yan Liuyuan looked in disbelief at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him. Then he looked down at his bleeding abdomen. He could not understand why Yan Liuyuan would have a gun in his hand!
If they knew Yan Liuyuan had a gun in his hand, they would definitely not have taken the risk. In fact, guns were prohibited in town. Someone had once made a homemade gun, but it was confiscated by the stronghold.
Everyone in the house looked at Yan Liuyuan in surprise. Even Sister Xiaoyu did not expect such a turn of events.
In the blink of an eye, six consecutive gunshots rang out. Yan Liuyuan was not afraid at all after killing one person. Instead, he shot the two idlers who had pounced on Sister Xiaoyu and killed them as well.
Every time Yan Liuyuan fired a shot, he felt like there was a darkness in his heart that was slowly pulling him into the abyss. In this world, if you wanted to survive, you had to kill!
He jumped out of bed and rushed out the door. The two idlers who had just broken into Zhang Jinglin's room next door ran out when they heard the gunshots. But it was already too late!
Another two gunshots rang out. Yan Liuyuan had actually shot and killed five people within a minute! The gunshots reverberated in the air and spread out like wails and roars!
Mr. Zhang walked out from the room next door. He stared at Yan Liuyuan beside him as if he wanted to get to know this young man all over again.
Zhang Jinglin knew that Ren Xiaosu was a ruthless person. He even knew that Yan Liuyuan had been influenced by Ren Xiaosu all these years. In school, Yan Liuyuan belonged to the youngest group, but the older children did not dare to provoke him. In fact, they were even afraid of him.
But what kind of thirteen-year-old child could shoot and kill?
He stood in the pool of blood at the door, panting. His expression remained calm. Only by looking at his slightly trembling hands would one realize that he was actually afraid.
Sister Xiaoyu also came out from the room. She hugged Yan Liuyuan and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
It was clearly Yan Liuyuan who had stepped forward to save everyone. But for some reason, Yan Liuyuan suddenly felt at ease when he was hugged by Sister Xiaoyu. The coldness in his body was gradually dispelled by another wave of warmth.
The gunshots were loud and crisp. The entire town was awakened by the gunshots. Everyone came out and looked in the direction of the school, but they still did not know what had happened.
The stronghold's residents had clearly returned to the stronghold, so why were there gunshots? To the refugees' knowledge, firearms were all controlled by the stronghold's big shots.
Zhang Jinglin looked at the gun in Yan Liuyuan's hand and sighed. "Did Ren Xiaosu leave this for you? You went to retrieve it this afternoon? "
"Mhm." Yan Liuyuan said, "Sister Xiaoyu and I will be leaving town right now. We won't be a burden to you."
When Ren Xiaosu left town, he had separated from the group. He had indeed gone to the place where the gun was buried, but he did not take it with him. Instead, he left a mark at the spot where the gun was buried and left it for Yan Liuyuan.
Before he left, he had instructed Yan Liuyuan in a low voice to retrieve the gun after he left. If he encountered any danger that he could not resist, he would open fire and escape into the wilderness. He had prepared a hidden cave somewhere in the wilderness for Yan Liuyuan.
When he was done with Ren Xiaosu, he would look for him!
