Chapter 278: Chapter 278 Gunshots
In a moment, Liang Kang’s sense of responsibility surged.
This feeling of being entrusted with an important task was truly wonderful!
"Brother Song, it’s all my fault for being weak. Otherwise, I could have kept you company,"
Zhang Kaiyang felt annoyed and punched the ground.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Fan Qing suddenly cried out. This guy was just too immature.
"It’s fine. I’ll be quicker on my own. I’m just going over to check the situation.
Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon."
Jhiang Yuan wanted to say something, but she couldn’t bear to leave her parents and Xiao Nuan behind to go with Song Yi alone; she was worried about them.
So she took the easy way out and decided not to go.
"You must be very careful. Don’t worry about anything else, just go and come back quickly.
No matter if you can handle it or not, safety comes first, got it?"
"Yeah, I know..."
Song Yi softened too, deeply appreciative of Jhiang Yuan’s concern.
Everything was arranged. Now, it was time for everyone to go about their own tasks.
Although Jhiang Yuan and the others were inside the temple, the situation was not very optimistic.
"Otherwise, let’s deal with those two corpses downstairs!
Leaving them there is pretty scary to look at."
Jhiang Yuan hadn’t spoken yet when Zhang Kaiyang took the initiative.
"No need, just leave them there.
If someone sees them, it could have a deterrent effect. Besides,
we have no place to hide those things right now, so let’s not go out into the cold."
As the couple was talking, Jhiang Yuan and the others didn’t want to meddle.
No matter what Fan Qing’s purpose was, Zhang Kaiyang, her boyfriend, was the one disagreeing, and it had nothing to do with them.
Ye Mianmian stayed close to her, and the two kept busy adding fuel to the fire, making sure it wouldn’t go out.
Qin Yue took care of Xiao Nuan, and everyone tacitly avoided saying anything further.
By two o’clock in the afternoon, Song Yi had still not returned.
Jhiang Yuan was inevitably worried, pacing back and forth anxiously.
She stayed near the window, wanting to be the first one to notice his return.
At the same time, she was genuinely concerned.
"Sister Yuan, look, is that someone coming over there?"
Ye Mianmian originally wanted to ask her to sit down for a while but had just come over and looked outside.
Following her direction, Jhiang Yuan hurriedly picked up the binoculars to look.
Indeed, two people appeared in her view.
But neither of them was Song Yi.
"Be careful, someone’s coming.
Mom, you guys hurry and take the kids behind the statue, bring the stuff too.
Xiao Ling, open the back door and check both sides to see if anyone’s coming up.
Make sure we’re not discovered."
She began to give orders methodically. Despite her worries, she was holding up well.
The two strangers were well-wrapped and in a state of guard as they moved.
"Not good, they have guns."
"What?"
Zhang Kaiyang and Liang Kang were both anxious and came over to see the situation as Jhiang Yuan passed them the binoculars.
They were already halfway up; in at most ten minutes, they would definitely reach the temple.
"Sister Yuan, what do we do now?"
Zhang Kaiyang habitually sought out guidance, feeling confused himself.
"We can’t panic. Mom, Dad, Kaiyang, you three will take care of the luggage and the two kids.
Everyone else, pick up your weapons and be on standby."
"No problem..."
"Sister Yuan, let me stay and help."
Jhiang Yuan glanced at Zhang Kaiyang, who clearly wanted to stay, but his current situation didn’t allow it!
"You behave, don’t make me persuade you."
Although unwilling, he knew staying now would only get in the way.
"Ah, I’m really useless!"
Ye Mianmian gave Fan Qing a look, motioning her to take Zhang Kaiyang away.
"Time is of the essence, those two have something on them, we can only defeat them one by one.
Later, let’s go out and see..."
"Okay..."
Everyone was very tense, and Jhiang Yuan also had no certainty whatsoever.
They all went out the back door because using the front door would make it easier to be seen.
In Jhiang Yuan’s hand were sleeve arrows, now the only thing that could strike at the enemy.
A few people were poised to strike, hiding behind the tree trunk at the door.
Watching the two people get closer and closer.
When they came within range, she held her breath, focused, then fired.
With a "whoosh," the arrow found its mark without fail, hitting the target directly.
Jhiang Yuan quickly retreated to the side of the house.
"Who’s there, come out..."
The remaining person, holding a gun, didn’t dare to shoot after all.
The area was covered in quite a bit of snow; he wasn’t foolish.
Ye Mianmian and Fan Qing scattered beads from the steps onto the stone platform.
The crisp sound scared the man, as he looked at the beads rolling down.
He began to retreat step by step. Jhiang Yuan felt uneasy; if he escaped, it could be trouble.
One person was manageable, but reinforcements would be a different story.
With such advanced equipment, could he be just any ordinary person?
This reminded her of the group that had descended the mountain earlier, uncertain of their relation to these two.
She moved a bit from the side, while the man kept his eyes on the area above.
This gave her an advantage. The sleeve arrow was ready, and there wasn’t much time.
She fired directly, the first shot hitting the upper body, probably the stomach.
Then she fired three more arrows in quick succession, one missed, but the other two hit their mark.
However, the man didn’t fall but fired two shots in her direction.
Everyone kept cover and got a fright.
The man was at the end of his strength and soon collapsed, the last shot fired into the sky.
"Aaah..."
Something startled Jhiang Yuan, and looking up, she saw a white bird fly overhead.
Its call was very similar to a crow’s, but she had never seen such a bird.
Moreover, in these circumstances, seeing a living bird was quite rare.
"Jhiang Yuan, what do we do now, should I go and check?"
Liang Kang wanted to make sure the man was really dead; if not, they needed to deal with him quickly.
"No rush, he’s already fallen; let’s wait a bit longer."
Jhiang Yuan watched, daring not to act rashly.
The weapons in the man’s possession were lethal and very fast.
Whether he was dead or not, she wasn’t sure, but he was definitely injured.
Just wait, even if he doesn’t die from the wounds, he’ll freeze to death.
Song Yi hasn’t come back yet; they have plenty of time, no need to hurry.
"Daughter, are you alright?"
Jhiang Xingzhi slowly approached, and Jhiang Yuan turned to see him.
"I’m fine, Dad, please go back quickly."
Seeing that no one was missing, he was also relieved.
"What’s the situation now?"
He spoke in a low voice, clearly worried.
