Chapter 264: Shot Through with an Arrow

Bai Wei covered her mouth in terror, her back soaked through with a layer of cold sweat.

It wasn't just one thief, but a whole gang!

A coordinated criminal group!

And they were carrying lethal weapons!

It was obvious they intended to kill and rob!

The other side didn't have Night Vision Goggles, couldn't see that far, and hadn't discovered Bai Wei, who was huddled under the windowsill, climbing down.

Bai Wei shuddered all over, a deep sense of fear welling up within her.

The thing she feared most had truly happened!

What should she do now?

There were three of them, a coordinated gang, and she didn't know if they had accomplices.

Furthermore, they had knives!

Her mother was still sleeping in the house; if she ran away now, her mother would be left behind.

Perhaps, if the thieves couldn't find her, they would kill her mother in a fit of rage.

Bai Wei's heart trembled.

What should she do?

Bai Wei endured the pain, took out a slip of paper, and wrote a letter to Xiao Moting.

"Xiao Moting, thieves have entered my Farm. They have knives. I injured my leg when I climbed out of the window..."

She wrote a brief account of the situation and sent it over.

Bai Wei had no mobile phone and couldn't contact anyone else; the only person she could turn to for help now was Xiao Moting.

The night was cold, and her ankle throbbed with intense pain.

A slip of paper appeared in Bai Wei's hand.

The familiar handwriting was even more hurried than usual.

"Bai, it is very dangerous there. Return to Daliang first; I will have the Military Doctor treat your injury."

Bai Wei read it quickly and dismissed the idea in her heart.

Indeed, returning to Daliang was the best choice; she could get her injury treated there and then bring back weapons.

But her mother was still sleeping in the room. If she left, these thieves might harm her mother.

She could not leave.

"No, my mother is still sleeping in the room," Bai Wei replied. "Also, there are many antiques in the Farm, and I don't want them stolen. My foot hurts too much to move; please send me some medicine."

"Very well," Mo Ting changed his strategy. "Stay calm, don't panic, and keep them from finding you for now. I will send you medicine immediately."

Several items of medicine appeared in Bai Wei's hand.

White Medicine for treating contusions, Pain Relief Spray, and Tiger Bone Ointment for pain relief and reducing blood stasis...

Bai Wei took the medicine and immediately applied it to her ankle.

The cooling medicinal mist sprayed onto her ankle, and the pain eased significantly.

Immediately after, another slip of paper drifted down.

"Bai, are you feeling better? Keep in touch with me, do not disconnect."

"My ankle is much better, but these thieves haven't left yet."

"Good, now do as I say."

Bai Wei knew Xiao Moting's practical experience was better than her own, so she quickly replied, "Okay, tell me."

"Your mother is sleeping in the room. Is the door locked from the inside? Can the thieves get in?"

Bai Wei answered, "My mother's door is locked; it's hard to get in from the outside."

"That's good. These thieves snuck into the Farm, which means they don't want to alert you, so under normal circumstances, they won't wake your mother for now. Since you have an ankle injury and there are many of them, you cannot deal with them alone, so you must find help."

"You mean, you want me to go call for help?"

"Yes, find the villagers closest to the Farm and ask them for help. Be careful on the way, don't alert the thieves, and don't let them discover you've run away."

"Okay, I'm going now."

Bai Wei struggled to stand up.

The sprained ankle had been treated with medicine and didn't hurt as much anymore.

She leaned against the wall and carefully walked outside.

She couldn't trust the new security guard, so Bai Wei planned to find Chen Ming.

Chen Ming lived next door; although he had mental issues, he was a strong man after all, and he had a mobile phone. As long as she found Chen Ming, she could call for help and report it to the police.

Bai Wei slowly shuffled outward...

Just then!

Suddenly, a figure walked around the corner and came face-to-face with Bai Wei.

Bai Wei was startled!

Had she been discovered?

The person was wearing a plain T-shirt and jeans, a black mask on their face, a baseball cap on their head, and was holding a sharp boning knife.

The one in the baseball cap had been about to climb into the room through the window and was clearly stunned to see her unexpectedly.

In a flash, Bai Wei was quick-witted and agile; she bent down, picked up some firewood from the base of the wall, and swung a stick at the person's head.

"Bang!"

The arm-thick wooden stake struck the baseball cap's head heavily.

He let out a loud "Ah!" and stumbled to the ground.

Bai Wei took the opportunity to limp forward and run immediately.

But when she looked up, she discovered that the two figures who had just been climbing the wall had already heard the commotion here, jumped down from the wall one after another, and were running toward her.

The position of the two was exactly at the main gate.

However, it was too dark all around and there were no lights, so the two did not know what had happened here, and they lowered their voices while running.

"What's going on? What happened on your end?"

Bai Wei could no longer run forward; the path ahead was already blocked, and she could not get out of the Farm, so she had to stand still quickly.

She took a slip of paper out of her pocket and wrote on it quickly.

"I've been discovered."

Time was urgent, and she did not have time to write much, so she immediately sent it to Xiao Moting.

The next second, a Repeating Crossbow fell from the air and landed in her hands.

At the same time, a slip of paper was also sent over.

"Return to the room! There aren't many thieves; take the weapon, hide first, and wait for an opportunity to assassinate them."

Bai Wei gripped the Repeating Crossbow tightly, feeling much more settled in her heart.

She looked around, but there was no place to hide, so she immediately turned and ran into the house.

There was a man in black in the room, but with the Repeating Crossbow in her hand, Bai Wei felt confident.

One thief—she could handle that.

Enduring the pain in her foot, Bai Wei climbed into the house through the window.

As soon as she landed, a noise came from the main room, and someone barked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Bai Wei did not make a sound; as soon as she entered the room, she hid behind the door.

She gripped the Repeating Crossbow with both hands, held her breath as much as possible, and stared fixedly ahead.

The Repeating Crossbow in her hands had its bolt cocked, ready to fire at any moment.

The light in the room was even dimmer.

But this was her home, and Bai Wei was more familiar with the layout.

Moreover, she was wearing night-vision goggles, so she could see more clearly than the opponent.

Soon, a black shadow walked over stealthily; the opponent was unfamiliar with the environment in the room and could not see the surroundings clearly, so he moved toward her while groping his way.

"Second brother, is that you who came..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Wei did not hesitate and fired an arrow.

"Puchi!"

The sharp arrow struck the opponent's knee, piercing straight through!

The opponent immediately let out a shrill scream, and the knife in his hand dropped to the ground with a clatter.

He fell to the ground, screaming incessantly; his lower leg had been pierced through by the arrow, and he had already lost his ability to fight.

Having landed one shot, Bai Wei immediately changed her location, preparing to ambush from another spot.

But just at this moment, the door in the room suddenly opened.

Li Hong rushed out in a panic, "What happened?"
