Chapter 1105: Let’s See Who Dares to Touch Him
The people in the room were shocked. They widened their eyes and took a step back. Their gazes subconsciously focused on the arrow on the wall whose tail was still trembling.
“Who is it?” The Zhou and Chang clansmen suddenly shouted. The two villagers who had wanted to capture Gu Xiaoxi and Chang Yaya didn’t dare to move anymore.
Everyone looked in the direction of the window and realized that the originally closed window had been opened at some point. A young man and woman were standing outside.
The man held a bow in his left hand and drew another arrow from his quiver with his right hand. He aimed it straight at them.
“Let’s see who dares to touch them.”
Gu Yundong turned around and entered the house. She looked coldly at the people on both sides of them.
The Zhou and Chang family heads were shocked. They pointed at the strangers with trembling fingers and turned around to call for the people outside.
“Come…” Unexpectedly, just as he opened his mouth, the arrow in Shao Qingyuan’s hand shot out with a whoosh and landed on the wall between the two of them.
Gu Yundong sneered. “Don’t shout or move. Otherwise, the next arrow will miss.”
She pulled back her sleeve, revealing the crossbow strapped to her arm.
As she spoke, she saw from the corner of her eye that Zhou Jingui, who was standing by the door, wanted to sneak out. She moved her arm, and the crossbow arrow brushed past his calf, drawing a large line of blood. He cried out in pain and knelt heavily on the ground.
“Ah…” Hong Xiaoni wanted to scream, but when she saw the arrow pointing at her, her voice stopped. She swallowed in fear.
Gu Yundong said, “I’ve already warned you. Why don’t you believe me? Does anyone else want to try calling for help?”
No one dared to try. Although there were only two people on the other side, it was obvious that they were extraordinary people. They were also good at long-range attacks and were ruthless. They did not hesitate to shoot arrows.
There were more than ten people in the house. They were all ordinary villagers, and most of them were elders. They could not even walk properly, so how could they be their match?
Even if they shouted loudly, due to the commotion outside the ancestral hall, others might not be able to hear them.
Therefore, he could only stabilize them first and see what they were up to.
This was the Zhou family’s ancestral hall. Seeing that although the two of them had attacked, they had not really harmed anyone’s life, Chief Zhou knew that they could still talk properly. Therefore, he secretly took a deep breath and said, “Who are you? Why have you appeared in our Zhou family’s ancestral hall?”
Chief Chang also said, “From the looks of it, you shouldn’t be from the nearby villages. If you’re just passersby, it’s better not to meddle in other people’s business. This is a private matter of our village.”
In their opinion, these two people definitely had nothing to do with Gu Xiaoxi and Chang Yaya.
Gu Xiaoxi was a person who had escaped from the Yongning Prefecture. He had no relatives or friends.
Chang Yaya was from Great Rock Village, so they knew all the people she interacted with.
The two of them were dressed neatly and looked like they came from a rich family. They even had bows and arrows on them.
Thinking about it, they should be young masters and young ladies from the county city or somewhere further away. When they came to this area to hunt, they happened to bump into this incident heading towards the ancestral hall. They were curious, so they came to take a look.
Coincidentally, they did not hear the first part clearly. They only heard that the villagers were going to execute the two of them. Instantly, their sense of justice exploded and they stopped the villagers. Did they think that they were very noble to help when they saw injustice?
That must be it. There were too many stories like this in the book.
Everyone in the room was speculating with certainty. Who knew that Gu Yundong would suddenly turn around and quickly squat in front of Gu Xiaoxi?
