Seeing her husband take out a strange-looking repeating crossbow, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but touch it.
Then, like a primary school student who had done something wrong, she quickly lowered her head and fiddled with her hands in confusion.
"Husband...is this the repeating crossbow you made?"
Liu Ruyan's question, as quiet as a mosquito's sound, made Huang Shan chuckle.
Huang Shan then closed the courtyard door, pulled out a piece of wood from the wood pile, and then carefully walked into the house holding the repeating crossbow and the wood.
Liu Ruyan also closed the door of the house very cooperatively, and then walked quietly to her husband.
Huang Shan smiled at Liu Ruyan and pointed at the repeating crossbow in his hand.
"I originally planned to go to the back mountain to test fire, but it is getting late now, so going to the back mountain will arouse suspicion."
"I can only try it at home now and see how it goes!"
Liu Ruyan nodded slightly and spoke in a much lower voice.
"Husband, try it quickly!"
Huang Shan looked at the wood he had brought in, and the repeating crossbow in his hand was instantly activated. In Liu Ruyan's blink of an eye, a crossbow bolt shot directly through the wood, and the powerful kinetic energy knocked the wood away.
Huang Shan couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the repeating crossbow he had built was quite powerful.
"The crossbow made by my husband is so powerful!"
Liu Ruyan was shocked by what she saw in front of her. She was stunned for a while before she started to show off.
At this time, Huang Shan placed the serial crossbow in Liu Ruyan's hand.
"Ruyan, come and try shooting an arrow!"
After saying that, Huang Shan was about to teach Liu Ruyan how to use the repeating crossbow.
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan waved her hands repeatedly and took a few steps back.
"Husband, I don't know how to use a crossbow. I'd better cook for you!"
Huang Shan grabbed Liu Ruyan's arm and blocked her way.
"Ruyan, the world is not peaceful now, and I can't always stay by your side."
"This repeating crossbow is easy to use. If I am away from home and encounter any danger, you can use it for self-defense."
"So whether you are willing or not, you must learn how to operate a repeating crossbow from me."
Liu Ruyan heard that her husband's serious tone showed concern for her, so she mustered up the courage to carefully hold the serial crossbow that Huang Shan had put in her hand.
Compared to bows, crossbows are much simpler to use. It takes two to three years, or even longer, to train a qualified archer. Training a qualified crossbowman can be completed in one or two months.
After a while, Liu Ruyan was able to fire the crossbow bolt according to the Huangshan Sect's instructions.
It’s just accurate!
It looks like I'm going to cut down a tree and get a new bucket tomorrow.
Seeing that he accidentally shot through his own bucket, Liu Ruyan had the idea of retreating again.
"Husband, I..."
Before Liu Ruyan could speak, Huang Shan reached out and covered her mouth.
"Don't say you can't do it. What you need is not to shrink back and be afraid, but to practice more."
"Come on, cum again..."
Before Huang Shan finished speaking, the courtyard door that had just been locked made a sound.
"Huangshan, it's me, big dog!"
Hearing that the big dog was coming, Huang Shan quickly signaled Liu Ruyan to hide the serial crossbow, and then he placed the self-defense stick within reach.
After making these preparations, Huang Shan opened the door for the big dog with a smile.
Seeing the courtyard door that had been knocking for a long time slowly open, the big dog couldn't help but complain.
"Huang Shan, what are you doing at home?"
Huang Shan did not answer Da Gou's words but instead asked Da Gou what he was looking for.
Now that Dagou knew that Huangshan was not easy to bully, his tone became a little better, and he finally spoke in a somewhat consultative tone.
"Huangshan, can you tell me where you caught the rabbit in the back mountain?"
"I've finished the goods I bought yesterday. I want to catch a few rabbits and go to town to exchange money for goods."
Knowing the purpose of Big Dog's coming, Huang Shan just thought for a moment and truthfully told Big Dog where he caught the rabbit.
Dagou didn't expect Huang Shan to agree to him so happily. He quickly bowed to Huang Shan and then strode away from Huang Shan's house.
When the neighbors who came back from working in the fields saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Brother Huangshan, why did you tell him the place where you caught the rabbit for nothing?"
Huang Shan glanced at the big dog's back and chuckled.
"I caught two rabbits there. The rabbits are not stubborn, so they probably won't move around there anymore."
"I just told you that it is not easy for you to catch rabbits there."
The neighbor immediately followed and laughed a few times.
"Brother Huangshan really has you, this big dog is going to be fooled around by you."
...
As the sun sets completely, the villagers who have had dinner go to bed one after another and start their night activities. The doors of each house are closed tightly, and only the lights in the house are weak, not making a creaking sound.
The moonlight shines on the earth, still casting the shadow of yellow leather.
Huang Pizi, who was covered in scars, looked in the direction of the village, his eyes full of cruelty.
"Brother Chen, remember to keep my enemy's mother-in-law for me!"
Chen Er, the second leader of the bandits on Qingfeng Mountain, laughed and patted Huang Pizi on the shoulder.
"Brother, you have said this for the third time. Could it be that that woman is a beauty?"
Huang Pizi immediately spat after hearing this.
"Great beauty!? Oops!"
"Brother Chen, Liu Erya is just a loser, but Zhang Yuanyuan from this town is a great beauty!"
Chen Er instantly understood that Huang Pizi wanted to vent his anger on his enemy's wife, so he smiled and looked at the thirty or so bandits behind him.
"Brothers, have you heard this?"
"If you catch that Liu Erya, remember to hand it over to Huang Pizi."
"I won't say much else, brothers, let's do it!"
Following Chen Er's order, about thirty bandits rushed into the quiet and peaceful village, screaming and brandishing swords.
Dog barking suddenly came from several houses near the entrance of the village.
The owners of these households dared to get up and scold their watchdogs, but they heard countless shouts coming from outside.
When they reacted, they shouted immediately.
"The bandits are coming!"
The other surrounding villagers immediately responded, but it was already a little late.
Some bandits had already used machetes to open the doors and rushed into the villagers' homes.
As the bandits made more and more noise, Huangshan's neighbor's watchdog started barking violently.
Huang Shan, who was already asleep, was suddenly awakened by the sound of a dog barking, and quickly got out of bed.
Liu Ruyan, who felt the person next to her pillow leave the bed, opened her eyes and looked at Huang Shan, only to see Huang Shan motioning for her to quickly put on clothes and get up.
"What's wrong, husband?"
When Liu Ruyan dared to finish speaking, he also heard the continuous barking of dogs. He immediately panicked and subconsciously grabbed Huang Shan's lapel.
After Huang Shan thought for a moment, he picked up the repeating crossbow and wooden stick.
"Ruyan, run to the back mountain right now! Don't take any food or anything with you. Run to the back mountain and hide. No matter who comes to find you, don't answer!"
"You can only answer if I go to you."
