Chapter 68: Being started at

Su Yin lay on the straw mat and fell asleep quickly.

Su’s mother didn’t sleep; she fanned her to help drive away mosquitoes and keep her warm so that she could have a good sleep.

At midnight, Yang Dashan woke up Su Yin.

Su Yin got up and joined several other villagers keeping vigil.

There were six people keeping watch in the second half of the night, divided into three groups, two at a time, walking around the camp.

Su Yin and Yang Dashu were in a group.

The two held homemade improvised torches and wandered around the camp.

The moonlight in the corner of her eyes glanced at Qianshan Village from time to time. It was always quiet, and nothing unusual was happening there.

There were also people keeping vigil in Qianshan Village. There were not many, only three people: two women and an old man.

Yang Dashu naturally noticed it, “It’s really not what they thought. If something happens, I’m afraid they won’t have time to react.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Dashu realized something was wrong and hurriedly added, “Girl Su, if it were you, it must be different.”

“I just learned from an escort master in the town for some time.”

“What’s his name?” Yang Dashu asked.

“Yan Wing Chun.” Su Yin reported the familiar name half-truthfully.

“Yan Yongchun.” Yang Dashu murmured, thinking. After a while, he was sure that he had never heard of such a powerful escort master, “I haven’t heard of him.”

“He seemed to be invited by the escort agency to teach the escorts; he should be a very powerful master.”

“No wonder. If you can teach a bodyguard, you must be a master.”

“I see that you take time to box every day. Can I learn?”

“Okay.”

Yang Dashu was surprised, “Really?”

“Really.”

“Okay, I’ll box with you for a while every day.”

“Okay.”

The stronger the people in the team, the safer they will be. Su Yin naturally had no reason to refuse.

Suddenly, Su Yin stopped, pretended to adjust her skirt, and looked around with the corner of her eye.

Yang Dashu did not urge her but stood aside and waited.

Is it my own illusion?

From the beginning of the patrol, Su Yin felt uncomfortable behind her, as if she was being stared at by something.

She never believed it was just her own overthinking.

But after observing for a long time, she didn’t find anything wrong. Even the feeling of being stared at disappeared.

Wait…

Disappeared, that is to say…

Su Yin stood up, pretended not to know anything, and continued to patrol forward.

Soon the feeling resurfaced.

This time, Su Yin stopped again, crouched down, and glanced to the back and right, where there was a slight sway behind the trees not far away.

The moonlight is beautiful today; it is a full moon day.

If the moonlight hadn’t been bright enough and Su Yin’s eyes sharp enough, it would have been easy to ignore it.

Someone!

There’s someone behind that bush!

Su Yin said nothing, stood up calmly, approached Yang Dashu, and lowered his voice.

“Uncle Dashu, someone is staring at us.”

Before he spoke, he warned, “Shh, don’t look around. Let’s keep walking and don’t let the other party find out.”

Yang Dashu resisted the urge to turn his head. Pretending to be calm, he continued walking with her.

“Who is he? Can you see clearly?” Yang Dashu lowered his voice.

“As expected, he should be from Qianshan Village.”

The ‘what’ in Yang Dashu’s mouth was suppressed and held in his throat.

“How many people are there?”

“Can’t see clearly.”

When the two returned to the night watchman’s station, the other four people had their eyes squinted and were a little drowsy.

Yang Dashu stepped forward and woke the four people up.

The four of them opened their eyes, and two of them were about to stand up, but he stopped them.

“Wait a minute.”

“What’s wrong?” one of them asked.

Yang Dashu looked solemn and lowered his voice, “I want to tell you something.

After you hear it later, don’t move, don’t make a sound, and don’t make any other unnecessary actions.”

Seeing Yang Dashu so serious, the four of them followed, getting nervous.

“Did something happen?”

Yang Dashu nodded, “Su Yin just found someone hiding behind the bushes over there.”

The expressions of the four people changed drastically, and some of them almost couldn’t hold it in anymore and stood up in shock.

“Then what should we do now?”

Yang Dashu looked at Su Yin, and Su Yin said, “Now we are not sure how many people are hiding there.

This is the first. Second, we are not sure whether their behavior is Qianshan Village’s whole village thinking that some people have their own ideas.”

“If it’s the former, then this matter will be very troublesome. If it’s the latter, we can give them a surprise.

“Is it the former or the latter?” someone couldn’t help but ask.

Su Yin glanced at the other side and said, “I guess the latter is more likely. But to be on the safe side, we need to be prepared.”

“The first one is to secretly wake up the people in the village and let them get ready.”

“Second, we lure the snake out of the hole, let the people hiding behind take action, and we take them down in one fell swoop.”

Only then can they be justified.

Otherwise, even if you catch the person hiding behind the bushes, the other person can retort with various reasons without taking action, and there is nothing you can do about them.

There is a saying: catch the traitor and catch the couple, catch the thief and take the stolen goods.

You have to catch them.

The five people nodded in agreement.

“Two uncles, you patrol as usual first. Don’t let them notice anything strange. Then go in the direction where they are so that they can’t raise their heads to check what’s happening on our side.”

“The four of us split up and quietly wake up some people.”

Su Yin discussed the list with several people, which ones were suitable for secretly arresting people, and which ones were allowed to stand still and let them stay in the camp.

In short, all actions must be done carefully, and it is best to catch the other party by surprise.

Surprise can avoid casualties to the greatest extent.

They have been injured one after another in the past few days. If it happens again, many of them may not be able to hold on. Even if they can hold on now, there is still a long way to go, and they don’t know if they can hold on anymore.

Therefore, it is necessary to avoid head-on conflicts.

The casualties also reduce the combat effectiveness and safety of their team.

In short, if you can bleed less, try to bleed as little as possible.

If the opponent comes up with a surprise attack on them, they can also give them a sneak attack.

“Okay.”

The six of them split up.

The two who had their turn to patrol carried torches and patrolled as usual, while the other four moved secretly.

Su Yin went to her house, walked up to her uncle, and covered his mouth.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Su Yin said, “Shh!”

Yang Dashan, whose body was tense, gradually relaxed when he heard the voice of his niece.

“Uncle, the people in Qianshan Village are going to do bad things. You should quietly wake up the second uncle and the others and don’t make any noise.”

Yang Dashan was frightened and nodded, naturally understanding the seriousness of this matter.
