The kitchen is adjacent to the outer courtyard and can be easily accessed over the fence.
The stove was backed by the window, so the bandits could easily catch the mandarin duck after jumping down. The water tank inside was also very close to the window. The bandits hiding outside were targeting Shen Zhixi, so they could jump in. He quickly controlled her when she was defenseless.
Shen Zhixi's right arm was clamped, and it was so painful that she felt like it was about to break off.
And her left hand subconsciously raised her belly.
She was afraid that something might happen to her stomach.
Over at the stove, Yuanyang was lifted up, and the bandit who was holding her started to touch her face.
Yuanyang dodged for a moment and was immediately slapped.
The slap was so heavy that Shen Zhixi's heart trembled when he heard it. Blood even flowed from the corner of Yuanyang's mouth, and his face was visibly red.
Shen Zhixi looked at it and his eyes turned red.
She and Yuanyang grew up together, and seeing Yuanyang being beaten made her feel equally uncomfortable.
But she didn't dare to shout easily. Even if the person behind her spoke rudely to her, or even touched her cheek like a frivolous mandarin duck, she could only force herself to calm down.
If it were normal, she would never be able to do this.
But now she has to consider the child in her belly, and she has to be cautious even if she is not sure yet.
To irritate these bandits, their attacks are not serious. A slap in the face is light, but if they are kicked in the stomach, if it is serious, it will kill two people.
"This one is more beautiful."
The bandit stared at Shen Zhixi with wretched eyes.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such stunning beauties living in such deep mountains, but they are no worse than those ladies from the public. It just so happened that my brothers were robbed of their territory and wandered around in the west. They haven't eaten meat for a long time. Tonight..."
The person behind him stretched out his hand with a sultry look, intending to touch Shen Zhixi's face.
Before he could finish his words, a sharp wind blew past Shen Zhixi's ears. The moment her hair was moved, there was the sound of skin being pierced by a sharp weapon. She didn't even have time to open her eyes to see. , a stream of wet and hot blood sprayed on her face.
The force holding her right arm soon loosened, and then the man fell to the ground with a groan.
It was made by Tang Zhou.
The sharp weapon on the bandit's neck was a wood-cutting knife, which Tang Zhou probably used to carve lily of the valley flowers.
But she didn't dare to look any further, so she turned her head and ran out.
As soon as she turned around, a big knife was placed across her neck again.
In addition to the two people controlling Shen Zhixi and Yuanyang, the other two were rummaging around in the kitchen looking for something to eat. When they suddenly saw their brother lying on the ground, they quickly reacted. Fortunately, the kitchen was small, and there was only one bandit with a knife. He took a step and arrived beside Shen Zhixi.
Shen Zhixi could not take another step forward, but because he was facing the door, he saw Tang Zhou standing in the courtyard.
"do not come!"
The bandits beside her shouted so loudly that it hurt her ears.
"Come here and I'll chop her with a knife!"
However, although the bandit shouted loudly, there was unconcealable fear in his voice. After all, the blow to the bandit who just fell to the ground clearly showed that Tang Zhou's martial arts was not low, but he could reach such a long distance. To kill someone so neatly on the spot, this skill is obviously not comparable to that of these bandits, and their words are full of weakness.
He thought that if there were hostages in hand, Tang Zhou would be afraid.
But Tang Zhou outside the courtyard didn't seem to hear him. Instead of stopping, he continued to move forward, as if he didn't care about anything.
Shen Zhixi held her breath and did not dare to slack off. She knew that Tang Zhou did not care about her life or death.
But he still moved forward, maybe...
Shen Zhixi lowered her eyes and looked down, her heart beating harder and harder, but the current situation did not allow her to think too much. Seeing that the bandit's knife had already been swung, she gritted her teeth, raised her foot and stepped hard, landing on the bandit's knife. on feet.
"Ah!" He cried out in pain.
Shen Zhixi took the opportunity to push him again and called Tang Zhou at the same time.
"Husband!"
"You damn bitch, you..."
Tang Zhou's ears moved, catching the voices of the two people, and quickly determined the exact location of Shen Zhixi and the bandit. Then he raised his hand and flew out another carved sharp knife that was sharpened in his hand, and came through the air. It pierced the bandit's shoulder, neck and collarbone, piercing deeply. Although it was not fatal, it was enough.
After all, Tang Zhou couldn't see, so it was unbelievable that he could do this.
The bandit whimpered in pain, and the knife in his hand dropped to the ground in pain. Shen Zhixi immediately squatted down, picked up the bench at his feet, and smashed it on the bandit who was holding the mandarin duck.
The bandit had no weapons in his hands, and the sudden death of two of his own men frightened him enough. Suddenly a bench flew towards him. Like a frightened bird, he thought it was some deadly weapon, and subconsciously let go of his grip and hid far away.
Therefore, Yuanyang escaped from the restraint and ran towards Shen Zhixi.
The bandit who was stabbed in the neck endured the pain, and when he reacted, he lowered his head to pick up the big knife on the ground. Shen Zhixi couldn't let him do it, so he bent down and snatched the big knife away. The bandit was injured and moved slowly. , I couldn’t rob her.
But the knife was so heavy that Shen Zhixi was not prepared and didn't use much force. She almost missed it and let it fall and cut her foot. Fortunately, Tang Zhou came in time and she didn't even see Tang Zhou even though she was half-bent. How did he move his hand? When he raised his head, the bandit had already flown out and hit the stove hard. He vomited blood and fainted.
Seeing this, Shen Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief and put down the knife that he couldn't hold.
The bandit who had just been hiding on the bench was lying on the window, trying to run away.
Tang Zhou didn't let him go. He touched the sharp knife from the bandit's neck and pulled it back. He looked back and threw it out at the bandit. He whimpered and fell down against the window.
In a short period of time, all the bandit Xiren were killed.
"Are you OK?"
Tang Zhou turned around and came towards Shen Zhixi. Because he was worried about Shen Zhixi, he walked in a hurry and kicked the knife on the ground.
"I...I'm fine."
Shen Zhixi also walked towards him and threw herself into his arms.
After hugging the person, Tang Zhou felt really at ease.
"Where's the vanilla?" he asked again.
Yuanyang leaned against the door and replied with lingering fear: "No, I'm fine too."
"That's good." Tang Zhou looked calm on the surface, but his slightly trembling hands while stroking Shen Zhixi's back still betrayed him. He was actually very scared, fearing that something might happen to Shen Zhixi.
"Husband, you..."
"There are still people." Tang Zhou suddenly stood up with a serious tone.
Shen Zhixi's heart tightened, and she looked westward but saw no one else at all. It wasn't until Tang Zhou hugged her and turned sideways that she realized that the person was outside the window.
The bandit who was standing guard in the distance had a bow and arrow in his hand. He noticed something unusual and came over to see that all his men had fallen down, so he shot an arrow. Tang Zhou, who had good ears, heard the sound and hugged Shen Zhixi to dodge the arrow.
However, he dodged the first arrow but not the second one.
Since Tang Zhou was holding Shen Zhixi and turned sideways with his back facing the window, the second arrow naturally hit him.
It happened so fast that before Shen Zhixi even noticed it, Tang Zhou had already kicked the knife away from his feet.
He grabbed the knife, turned around and flew it out the window.
At this point, Shen Zhixi discovered that an arrow had hit his back.
