Chapter 1320: Chapter 1315: Don’t Hold Me Back!
"Why are you retreating, you idiots? Just eight arrows, can they really kill all of us?
Relax, she won’t dare use all her arrows. If she does, her own life won’t be safe!"
Zhu San started trying to stir up the emotions of the village men.
Some, hearing his words, attempted to charge forward and subdue Mu Shuangshuang.
But Mu Shuangshuang reacted too fast; from any direction, as soon as someone stood out, Mu Shuangshuang’s arrow was aimed at that person’s head.
After a standoff, no one dared to step forward again.
Each one hid behind Zhu San, clearly afraid and eager to survive!
Zhu San was furious. He pointed at the village men holding torches and tools and shouted, "Did you forget the oath we made? No matter whose wife gets taken, everyone left must help, whatever the cost!"
"Brother Zhu San, it’s not that we don’t want to, but that woman has a weapon. You don’t want us to die, right?"
A burly man grumbled a sentence.
Upon hearing this, Zhu San, who was already grim, had his eyes filled with more schemes!
"Then burn the house down! That ugly woman has the house behind her. If we burn the house, she’ll lose her cover. Then we capture her alive!"
Zhu San’s words received the approval of most people.
Some impatient ones had already started throwing torches onto Zhu San’s roof!
Only with limited ability, the torch didn’t hit the roof but nearly hit themselves instead.
The men dared not try alone anymore, and set their eyes on Zhu San, waiting for him to issue orders!
Mu Shuangshuang glanced at Old Mrs. Mu still not coming out of the house, feeling a bit angry, she shouted to Old Mrs. Mu inside:
"Grandma, why are you still standing inside? Didn’t you hear them say they’re going to set a fire? If you stay in there, I swear you won’t survive the night!"
Only then did Old Mrs. Mu react and shout, "Zhu San, you promised if I cooperated, you’d let me go, and now you dare to set the fire?"
"Hey, what’s that old hag saying, let her go..." Zhu San sneered, mercilessly belittling Old Mrs. Mu.
"You old, ugly thing, dare to deceive me!" Old Mrs. Mu angrily cursed.
Zhu San had managed to go days without hearing Old Mrs. Mu curse. Suddenly hearing it again, his face turned ashen.
"Set... Set the fire!"
Zhu San shouted, and this time, a tall and sturdy man closest to his woodshed threw another torch.
Coincidentally, the torch flew right toward Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang dodged swiftly, supplementing the torch with another arrow.
The direction of the torch immediately changed, tracing a parabolic path, flying towards one of Zhu San’s residential house.
Zhu San’s house was already shabby, and the roof had long been in disrepair.
Almost in a flash, the house caught fire.
"Oh no, Brother Zhu San, your house is burning!"
"What do we do, fight the fire or catch her?"
Zhu San spat fiercely on the ground, "Catch her, catch that bitch! Then sell her to the brothel; I want her to make money for me for life!"
As soon as Zhu San spoke, more men from the village started throwing torches at the house behind Mu Shuangshuang.
Mu Shuangshuang knew she wouldn’t be so lucky this time.
She hurried out of the woodshed, the arrow in her hand still posed in a threatening manner.
Old Mrs. Mu, who was behind her, wasn’t so lucky, almost getting roasted.
By the time she came out, her hair had been singed away quite a bit.
She closely followed Mu Shuangshuang, and even tried to grab Mu Shuangshuang’s clothes with her hand.
Luckily, Mu Shuangshuang reacted quickly, sternly stopping Old Mrs. Mu.
"Grandma, if you dare do anything to drag me down, I’ll treat you like one of them and hit you!"
As Mu Shuangshuang spoke, her hand with the arrow lifted slightly!
She wasn’t joking with Old Mrs. Mu; if Old Mrs. Mu dared to drag her down, she wouldn’t show mercy!
Old Mrs. Mu didn’t dare to get closer, but her eyes still firmly locked onto Mu Shuangshuang.
Afraid Mu Shuangshuang would abandon her!
The fire behind was getting bigger, putting Mu Shuangshuang in a disadvantaged position being close to the fire.
Zhu San desperately tried to close the encirclement, to capture Mu Shuangshuang and Old Mrs. Mu.
But Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t easy to deal with; she released two more arrows.
This time, hitting the knees of two of the men!
Momentarily, the men’s cries of agony echoed, serving as more or less a deterrent!
The crowd was deadlocked; Zhu San worried that if things dragged on, disturbances might occur!
He straightforwardly shouted, "Kill her, if this bitch shoots, I’ll take the hit!"
After Zhu San shouted, Mu Shuangshuang sent him an arrow straight into his right leg.
Blood gushed out, and Zhu San’s face turned pale from pain! "Kill... that bitch!"
Mu Shuangshuang sent another arrow into Zhu San’s left leg, and Zhu San knelt on the ground, still shouting.
"Kill..."
A man, inspired by him, recklessly charged forward, only to be kicked away by Mu Shuangshuang.
But it also dashed Mu Shuangshuang’s advantage!
The bow and arrow were inherently unsuitable for close combat; once too close, even if Mu Shuangshuang wanted to use the bow to intimidate, she likely wouldn’t have time to draw it!
Mu Shuangshuang threw away the bow and arrow, taking down the hemp rope from her shoulder, twisting it into a weapon.
In Zhu San’s courtyard, flames soared, as Mu Shuangshuang clashed with a group of men, almost evenly matched.
She fought more valiantly, her hot blood thoroughly stimulated.
The entire Zhu family courtyard seemed like a purgatory.
Mu Shuangshuang struck with increasing fierceness; those who were once confident in capturing her now resembled wilted cucumbers.
The cries of agony spread further and further...
Huang Da and Huang Er ran quite a distance before returning.
Initially, Mu Shuangshuang said not to worry, if something happened, simply run; no matter the scale, wait until government officials arrived the next day!
But the two brothers worried for Mu Shuangshuang and couldn’t reconcile their conscience, so they came back.
As they entered the village, following the sight of the fire, they found the Zhu family courtyard.
They saw this scene—
The little girl in night clothes wielded a whip twisted from hemp rope, which in her hands transformed like a swimming dragon.
Her gaze sharp, her strike quick, precise, and ruthless; anyone who approached faced a whip, leaving them raw!
"Huang Er, what are you waiting for? Let’s go too!"
Huang Da also felt the battle spirit, throwing down the bow and arrow, picking up an abandoned shovel from the ground, and charging forward, wildly pounding on the men!
