84 If We Can Snatch It, It’ll Be Ours
After entering the operating room, Su Ying took off Xiao Jin’s pants, revealing both his legs completely.
After disinfecting the wound, Su Ying picked up the scalpel.
At the same time, in the Tiger Base, a group of people was walking on the mud road.
“Hey, old woman. Is there any place we can stay?” One of the men stopped an old woman and asked.
An odd look flashed across the old woman’s eyes. She raised her head and looked at those people. Their clothes were ragged and their eyes were bloodshot. She could tell with one look that they were not good guys.
The old woman pointed in the direction of the open space. “Someone just built a new house in front. If you can snatch it, it’s yours.” After saying that, the old woman laughed in a creepy manner.
The person who asked for directions gave the old woman a peculiar look and turned around to reply to the leader.
“Leader, the old woman said that someone just built a house upfront. If we can snatch it, the house will be ours.”
An odd look appeared in the leader’s eyes. “Let’s go and take a look.”
“Alright.”
The group followed the old woman’s instructions and walked forward. Sure enough, they soon saw a large courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence.
“This is good, Leader. If we can grab it, it’ll all be ours.”
The group’s eyes lit up when they saw such a large courtyard house. After being exiled and coming all the way here, they had finally found a satisfactory place to stay.
These people walked to the front of the courtyard and knocked on the wooden door.
When the people who were working inside heard the commotion, they all stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the courtyard gate.
After constructing the courtyard fence, Su Ying immediately asked Tian Mu to build a gate in case someone barged in at night.
The people in the courtyard exchanged looks with each other. Ever since they reached Tiger Base, other than Mei Niang who harbored evil intentions, no one had ever taken the initiative to visit them.
Jiang Yang, who had almost recovered from his injuries, walked to the courtyard gate with a firewood machete. “Who? Who is it?”
“Young man, we’re people who fled here. We haven’t eaten or drunk for days. Please be compassionate and give us some food and water.”
Jiang Yang reached out and moved a small piece of wood the width of a finger on the door panel. Su Ying had asked them to retain this so that they could see the situation outside without opening the gate.
Jiang Yang opened that small wooden piece and looked outside. There were twenty to thirty men in ragged clothes with ferocious expressions outside.
Jiang Yang’s heart sank. These people were clearly not just here to ask for food.
“We don’t have anything here. You guys should go.”
Jiang Yang replaced the small piece of wood and called out to Hea Shouyi and the others to explain to them the situation outside.
There were only about a dozen people in the courtyard. The mercenaries had been sent to the mountains by Su Ying to chop firewood. They probably wouldn’t be back before dark. The wolves had also gone into the mountains to hunt for food, so they were the only ones who could fight.
When the people outside the door saw that they had been rejected, a menacing glint flashed in their eyes. The leader gave an eye signal to the people beside him. Those people understood his intention and took out the big machetes in their hands and inserted them into the gap in the middle of the wooden gate. Then, they began sawing the bolt in the middle of the wooden gate furiously.
Jiang Yang and the others didn’t expect those people to be so bold as to directly pry open the gate.
“What are you guys doing!” Jiang Yang stepped forward with his firewood machete and blocked the big machete from the bottom.
Uncle Hea and the others also went to pick up some abandoned wood, set them on fire, and tossed them over the fence.
Although those people were infuriated, they were unwilling to give up.
“If we can’t open it, just knock it down!”
The twenty to thirty men found a wooden stake nearby and rammed it into the wooden gate.
At this moment, Su Ying, who was still in the interspatial store performing surgery, had no idea what was happening outside at all.
Su Ying slowly picked out the tendons that had grown askew in Xiao Jin’s leg and started stitching them up one by one. This was a very delicate operation and it tested the surgeon’s incision skills and technical expertise. If one tendon was stitched up wrongly, it would become a big problem.
In the courtyard, Jiang Yang and the others were furious as they looked at the wooden gate that was being rammed into noisily. They had a limited number of people, and Xiao Jin was undergoing an important surgery. They must not let these people in at all costs.
Chu Yun frowned. He didn’t know when Xiao Jin’s surgery would be done, but if those people continued to ram into the wooden gate, the wooden gate definitely wouldn’t last long.
“Bring some wood here quickly to reinforce the wooden gate.”
“Alright.” This was the only plan for now.
Tian Mu and Cheng Ming immediately carried two boards over and nailed them securely to the gate panel.
The people outside rammed on the gate for a while, but when they saw that the wooden gate showed no signs of opening, they were so angry that they began to curse.
“Goddammit! If we can’t break it, then find a way to climb in.”
Su Ying’s wooden fence was about two to three meters high, and because they did not have enough time, there were no barbed tips installed.
“Form a human pyramid. Climb up.”
Two or three people squatted under the fence and started to climb up.
Soon, someone reached the top of the fence.
Jiang Yang’s face clouded over when he saw that. “The bamboo poles. Go grab the bamboo poles.”
Hea Shouyi quickly brought over the bamboo poles that he was going to use to make chairs and hit the people who had climbed up the wall.
“Damn beasts! How dare you climb our house’s fence! I’ll beat you to death!” Tian Mu waved his bamboo pole and hit those people again and again.
However, more and more people were climbing up, and the people inside were unable to stop them completely due to their limited numbers.
A few men took advantage of the chaos and jumped into the courtyard.
Jiang Yang yelled, “Aunt Zhao, hurry up and bring the children into the house. Cheng Ming, you guys guard the Mistress’s room door!”
“Alright.”
Jiang Yang waved his firewood machete and fought with the people who jumped in.
The enemy’s numbers were increasing, but their martial arts were not considered good. Jiang Yang, Wang Su, and the other two could still manage to deal with them.
However, the people who came in weren’t stupid. They pried open the wooden gate at the first opportunity and opened it without the people inside noticing.
The people outside the gate then rushed in.
These people’s goal was to take the lives of Jiang Yang and the others. Each and every one of them was extremely ruthless in their strikes.
Soon, Jiang Yang and the others were forced to retreat repeatedly.
When they saw those people were about to reach the door of the house, Jiang Yang kicked them in the stomach.
Just as Zhao Neng and the others were about to run out of energy, a furious roar suddenly rang out from inside the house.
“Who’s causing trouble when I’m working?”
The door burst open with a loud bang, and Su Ying walked out of the house with an ominous expression.
Her hands were covered in blood, and her almond-shaped eyes glared menacingly at the people who had barged in.
When the other party saw that Su Ying was a woman, they didn’t take her seriously. They even revealed a lecherous expression.
“Kill the men, but leave the women!”
Su Ying grabbed the machete from Jiang Yang’s hand and chopped off the other party’s head straightaway in one slash.
Blood splattered everywhere in an instant, and Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes were extremely bloodshot.
“You’re courting death!”
She was like a Grim Reaper swinging the scythe in her hand, collecting the lives of damned souls and leaving those people with no way to escape at all!
