Chapter 84, Midnight Gunshots

“Six Yuan, don’t run out alone these days,” Sister Xiaoyu said in the dark room, “In case something happens to you, how am I going to explain to your brother?”

“Don’t worry it won’t happen,” Yan Liu Yuan promised, he had been trusting Sister Xiaoyu more and more lately because Li Xiaoyu had still been there for him on days when she could have left him alone.

The other day when he had a high fever, Sister Xiaoyu could have just taken the money and walked away, but Sister Xiaoyu didn’t do that.

In his sleep, there was always a refreshing towel wiping his face and armpits to cool him down, and Yan Liuyuan could even hear gentle singing, which was like being in his mother’s arms when he was a child, as if it were a warm ocean.

Yan Liu Yuan hadn’t felt any of this, even though Ren Xiaosu had also given him a lot of warmth, but what that teenager had given him was always a back that he needed to chase after, not an embrace.

“Well,” Sister Xiaoyu was relieved when she heard Yan Liuyuan agree, she thought for a moment and suddenly said, “Since you’ve recovered from your illness, you have to attend class tomorrow to make up for the homework you’ve recently fallen behind.”

Yan Liu Yuan was shocked, “Sister Xiaoyu you don’t have to do that, it’s not like my brother is home!”

“That won’t do,” Sister Xiaoyu said, “In case Xiaosu comes back and realizes that you’ve fallen behind on your homework, it’ll definitely be my responsibility, he gave me an explanation before he left.”

“Where did he give you an explanation for this?!” Yan Liu Yuan wailed, “I didn’t even hear him mention this!”

Sister Xiaoyu laughed on the floor, “Anyway, I don’t care, you have to listen.”

Yan Liu Yuan looked at the ceiling lifelessly, but there was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. As a result, right at this moment, he actually heard the sound of someone jumping into the courtyard, and there was more than one person!

Sister Xiaoyu also heard this loud sound, yet the unusually gentle and timid Sister Xiaoyu drew out her bone knife from under her pillow at this time, and she gritted her teeth and said, “Stay where you are!”

In the dimly lit room, Yan Liu Yuan could even see Sister Xiaoyu trembling slightly, they both knew that someone tumbling in through the courtyard wall at this late hour was bound to be ill-intentioned, but at this time when Ren Xiaosu was not around, Sister Xiaoyu felt that she should take up the responsibility of protecting Yan Liu Yuan.

In the next moment, three strong men kicked open the door of their house, two of them tried to hold down Sister Xiaoyu on the ground, while the other one directly stabbed at 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 too different from that of an adult male!

One of the strong men who lunged at her grunted as if he was stabbed by the bone knife, but the other kicked away the bone knife in her hand!

Yan Liu Yuan looked through the moonlight, just for a moment he recognized that these three men were all idle loafers in the market town, he never thought that they would even hit the academy with their ideas!

Perhaps they felt that Ren Xiaosu had earned money from opening a clinic some time ago, and at this time Ren Xiaosu wasn’t inside the market town, so they got up to mischief.

Sister Xiaoyu is very cautious when it comes to spending money these days, she has to bargain for half a day every time she buys food, and even picks wild vegetables to act like she doesn’t have any money.

However, Yan Liuyuan was sick and needed to supplement her nutrition, so she finally bought some meat and drew attention to herself.

This is the horror of not having a man in the family. Although Yan Liuyuan is a male, he is too young to have much of a deterrent effect.

Now that Yan Liuyuan and Sister Xiaoyu were probably carrying huge sums of money, the schoolhouse seemed hardly an obstacle for the thugs to stop.

At the same time Yan Liuyuan heard the door of the next house being kicked in as well, as if someone else was about to commit an assault on Zhang Jinglin! These people were so rampant that they even dared to touch the gentleman of the academy, they were going to kill and silence him so that no one would know who was committing the murder.

As a result, just at this moment, there was a bang of a gunshot in the night, the idle man who rushed towards Yan Liuyuan looked incredulously at the black hole of the gun in front of him, then looked down at his bloodied abdomen, what he couldn’t understand was how did Yan Liuyuan have a gun in his hand?

If they knew that Yan Liuyuan had a gun in his hand they would not have taken the risk, in fact guns were banned in the market town, some people used to make their own clay guns only to have them confiscated by the barriers.

Everyone in the room looked towards Yan Liu Yuan in surprise, even Sister Xiaoyu did not expect such a turn of events.

In an instant, six consecutive shots rang out, Yan Liuyuan was not afraid after killing one person, but shot the two loafers who jumped on Sister Xiaoyu as well.

Every time Yan Liu Yuan fired a shot, it was as if there was a darkness in his heart that was slowly pulling him into the abyss, in this world, if you want to live, you have to kill people!

He jumped out of bed and rushed towards the door, the two loafers next door who had just broken into Zhang Jinglin’s room heard the gunshots and ran outside, but by this time it was too late!

Two gunshots rang out again, and Yan Liuyuan surprisingly shot five people within a minute! The sound of gunshots vibrated in the air spreading outwards like a wail and roar!

Mr. Zhang walked out from the next house, gazing at Yan Liuyuan beside him as if he wanted to reacquaint himself with the teenager.

Zhang Jinglin knew that Ren Xiaosu was a ruthless man, he even knew that Yan Liuyuan had followed Ren Xiaosu all these years and had learned by ear, in the school Yan Liuyuan belonged to the youngest group, but the older children didn’t dare to mess with him, and would even be afraid of him.

But who is a thirteen year old kid who can shoot and kill?

Just see him standing in a pool of blood at the entrance of the house gasping for breath, his expression was always calm, only by looking at his slightly trembling hands could he realize that he was also afraid.

Sister Xiaoyu also came out from the house, she put her arm around Yan Liuyuan: “Don’t be afraid don’t be afraid.”

Just now, Yan Liuyuan was the one who came out and saved everyone, but I don’t know why Yan Liuyuan suddenly felt relieved when he was embraced by Sister Xiaoyu, the coldness on his body was gradually dispersed by another wave of warmth.

The sound of gunshots was loud and clear, this sound of gunshots woke up the entire market town, everyone came out to look in the direction of the academy, only they were still not clear about what exactly had happened.

Obviously the people from the barriers had already returned to the barriers, how could there be gunshots? In the perception of the stragglers, guns were in the hands of the big shots of the barriers.

Zhang Jinglin looked at the gun in Yan Liuyuan’s hand then sighed: ”This is what Ren Xiaosu left for you? That’s what you went to fetch this this afternoon?”

“Well,” Yan Liuyuan said, “Sister Xiaoyu and I will leave the market town now, we won’t slow you down.”

Ren Xiaosu had broken away from the group when he left the market town, he did go to the place where the gun was buried, but instead of taking the gun with him, he marked the place where the gun was buried and left the gun with Yan Liuyuan.

When he left, he whispered to Yan Liuyuan that he would fetch the gun when he was gone, and once he encountered an irresistible danger, he would shoot, and then flee into the wilderness, where he had prepared a hidden cave for Yan Liuyuan somewhere in the wilderness.

When Ren Xiaosu’s business is over he will go and find him!
