Chapter 266: I Can Only Draw a Line Between Us
At this moment, Cangyun had already flapped its wings and flown to Bai Wei's side.
The man in black who had opened the wardrobe panted heavily, clutching his bleeding head as he retreated behind the crowd, speaking with lingering fear.
"A-Cai, this eagle is so fierce."
Bai Wei stroked Cangyun's head and turned her head to snort coldly.
"Do you really think I am all alone?"
Bai Cai was stunned, then immediately burst into loud laughter, "Are you referring to this eagle? A feathered beast—do you really think I'm afraid of it?"
Upon hearing Bai Cai look down on it, a fierce glint surged in Cangyun's beady eyes, and it let out an unhappy "caw."
"Bai Wei, if you have any antiques, just give a few to Bai Cai," Li Hong said anxiously from the side. "He is, after all, one of our own."
Bai Wei sneered inwardly, not wanting to pay any attention to Li Hong.
She stared at Bai Cai, "If you aren't afraid, you can try."
After speaking, she aimed the arrow at Bai Cai.
She wasn't afraid at all!
Never mind that the other side had four people; one had been shot in the leg by her and was immobile, and another had been clawed into a bloody mess by Cangyun and was also a casualty.
As for the rest, she could handle one and Cangyun could handle one—that was enough.
Bai Cai's expression changed subconsciously, and then he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"The timid starve to death, the bold gorge themselves; let's go."
Several people immediately rushed forward.
While they were talking, Bai Wei had long since prepared herself and immediately shot an arrow.
"Pfft."
The arrow pierced through the shoulder of a man in black.
Cangyun also immediately rushed forward.
Its usual opponents were fierce enemy soldiers; now, these men in black before it didn't even hold their knives correctly, so in its eyes, they were just trash.
With one eagle claw, it knocked the knife out of the hand of the man in the peaked cap who was running in front.
Bai Wei also took the opportunity to flip over a table to block the opponents.
"This damn eagle!" Bai Cai viciously picked up a dagger and stabbed it toward Cangyun.
Unexpectedly, Cangyun was agile and dodged it with a flap of its wings.
Immediately after, it raked its claw across.
The sharp eagle claw accurately hooked into Bai Cai's eye and pulled with force.
"Ah!"
Following a heart-wrenching scream, one of Bai Cai's eyes was blinded by the eagle claw, and blood streamed down.
He clutched his eye and screamed loudly.
Seeing that an eagle was actually so fierce, the remaining two people were terrified.
Taking this opportunity, Bai Wei immediately picked up an arrow again and aimed it at the remaining two.
"My eye!"
Bai Cai fell to the ground, screaming miserably.
His face had been scratched into a bloody mess by Cangyun, and one eyeball had been blinded; he rolled on the ground incessantly.
Seeing blood, Cangyun became even more ferocious; it had learned how to kill from Xiao Moting, and it immediately extended its claw toward Bai Cai's artery.
Seeing this, Bai Wei hurriedly shouted.
"Cangyun, don't kill him."
This is the modern era; if Cangyun killed Bai Cai, it would be put down.
Moreover, if a life were lost at her Farm, it would also be very troublesome.
Cangyun was well-trained; hearing Bai Wei's command, although reluctant, it could only retract its claw.
It flapped its wings, flew to the table beside Bai Wei, stood still, and let out a triumphant "caw."
It was as if it were telling Bai Cai: Who told you to look down on me?
Seeing that even an eagle was so fierce, the remaining two people were scared out of their wits and turned to run out the door.
But just at this moment, a yellow shadow lunged over fiercely.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
Dahuang leaped up and knocked one of the thieves to the ground.
Bai Wei called out happily, "Dahuang, it wasn't in vain that I raised you."
Dogs in the countryside are all free-roaming; Dahuang guards the courtyard during the day and wanders around the village at night, only returning to sleep when tired.
Just now, when the thieves entered the courtyard, Dahuang was not in the courtyard.
It was likely that the commotion here was too loud, and Dahuang, who was wandering in the village, heard the noise and immediately ran back.
"Stop, take off your mask."
Bai Wei gave a sharp reprimand and raised the arrow tip to aim at the last thief.
The man was so scared he didn't dare to move, begging for mercy incessantly.
"Don't, don't shoot the arrow; we are all from the nearby village, it was Bai Cai who told us to come and steal things."
"He saw on the internet that you have quite a few valuable antiques, so he called us to come together to get money to spend."
"Bai Cai owes debts he can't pay back, so he wanted to take your antiques to sell for money to pay off his debts."
After speaking, he hurriedly took off his mask, revealing a terrified and young face.
The other two also hurriedly took off their black cloth masks.
Bai Wei turned on the Flashlight and placed it on the table.
She recognized that these three people were all hoodlums from nearby villages who were usually idle and loved to steal chickens and dogs.
She had not expected Bai Cai to rope these hoodlums in and come to her Farm to steal things.
"A-Cai, your eyes..." Li Hong rushed over in terror, looking at Bai Cai in a panic.
She turned her head and looked at Bai Wei.
"You really are something, how could you hurt Bai Cai's eyes? He is, after all, family with you."
"His eyes are hurt; if the Bai Family comes knocking, how am I supposed to explain this?"
Bai Wei spoke coldly.
"He brought this upon himself, and furthermore, he and I are not family."
"The Bai Family has bullied and humiliated me, and Bai Cai brought people to break into the Farm, wanting my life."
"Mom, if you still want to treat the Bai Family as family now, then I can only draw a line between us."
Li Hong shuddered all over, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
"What? You want to draw a line with me? I am your mother, everything I do is for your own good!"
At this moment, a commotion came from outside the door, along with the flickering of several Flashlight beams.
Professor Ye's anxious voice came through, "Bai Wei, are you alright?"
There was also the shouting of the old village chief.
"Bai Wei, are you hurt?"
Bai Wei's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran to the door and opened it.
Outside the door stood the panting Professor Ye, with the old village chief beside him.
Chen Ming was also wearing slippers and holding a stick as he stood to the side; it looked like he had been pulled out of bed in the middle of the night.
Behind them was a large group of villagers holding sticks and weapons.
The villagers were shining Flashlights, all of them looking anxious.
"Xiao Wei, we heard from the village chief that thieves broke into your house, are you okay?"
"As soon as the old village chief heard the news, he ran over immediately."
"The people in the village heard your house was robbed, so everyone came."
Bai Wei looked at the sea of villagers outside, and her heart warmed.
Usually, the people in the village were all busy with their own affairs; she had not expected that upon learning her house had been broken into, everyone would spontaneously run over.
"Where are the thieves?" a villager shouted loudly, "How dare they come to our Qingshan Village to steal things; I think they have an itch for a beating."
At this time, the old village chief ran into the courtyard, caught sight of Bai Cai, and immediately cried out.
"How is it you?"
Suddenly, he saw the Bone-carving Knife by Bai Cai's hand, his expression changed instantly, and he cursed in anger.
"Very well, Bai Cai, you actually wanted Bai Wei's life? This is simply outrageous."
"Call the police, call the police for me immediately."
Many villagers recognized Bai Cai and also shouted one after another.
"Fine, Bai Cai, you actually came to steal Bai Wei's things."
"You are truly shameless; your family has harassed Bai Wei so many times, and you still dare to come and steal?"
"Beat him, teach this kid a lesson, break his arm."
