73 I’m Here

At the same time, the arrow flew past where his head was and pierced the door.

The man’s expression changed and he turned to run.

Lin Xiaoyue also quickly got down from the bed.

She didn’t even put on her shoes and chased after him.

But by the time she reached the door, the man had already run away.

Using her spiritual power, she found that the man was already out of the 20-meter radius around her.

“Sis..” at this moment, Lin Xiaozhi’s voice came from the bed.

Lin Xiaoyue’s heart sank. After hesitating for a moment, she pulled out the arrow on the door and put the bow and arrow back into her interspatial ring.

Then, she closed the door and re-bolted the door. She went back to the bed and lay down.

She knew she hadn’t considered all the risks involved.

Her mother was a widow with two children and there was no man in the house. People also knew that they took 42 taels of silver from the Lin family. It was very likely that they were targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Tonight, this person had received a warning. It would be best if he stopped now, otherwise…

Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes shone with a cold light.

It seemed that the construction of the house had to be expedited, and the house needed a security system.

Lin Xiaoyue did not dare to let herself fall asleep in the second half of the night. She continued to think about things until daybreak.

Liu Shi woke up to make breakfast. When she saw that there was a hole on the door, she was a little confused.

Lin Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, but she eventually told her mother about what happened last night.

Liu Shi’s face was pale with fear. “What if the thief comes again? This house and the broken door can’t defend us!”

A widow’s life was difficult. She had met a man who said some nasty things when she went up the mountain with Aunt Wang to pick wild vegetables.

Because of this and her introverted personality, she chose to stay indoors most of the time.

She didn’t expect someone to break in.

Fortunately, it was discovered by her daughter and was scared away with a bow and arrow. If she didn’t find out in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Mom, don’t worry. I’m here,” Lin Xiaoyue said in a low voice.

“He’s lucky this time. If he dares to come again, he won’t be able to leave again.” Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

“No, it’s not worth it to die for someone like that. Worse comes to worse, I’ll sleep during the day and guard you and your brother at night,” Liu Shi said firmly.

Lin Xiaoyue felt a warmth in her heart.

“There’s no need for that. Let me think of a way to solve this.” She patted her mother’s arm.

“Okay.” Liu Shi’s eyes were still filled with worry, but she nodded.

She used to protect her two children, but now it was her daughter who protected her and her son. Since when did she start to rely on her daughter…

After breakfast, Lin Xiaoyue was ready to leave.

“It’s getting late. I have to go wait for the ox cart. If you’re scared later, take Xiaozhi and go to Aunt Wang. I’ll be back before noon.”

“Okay. Be careful,” Liu Shi said.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “Don’t worry. There is no one who could hurt your daughter.”

If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t want to expose her gun, that person would have died.

Besides, she didn’t want to cause trouble for her family.

In this era, if someone found out that she had killed someone, she would have to pay with her own life.

She only hoped that the person from last night would value his life a little more. Also, those who had bad intentions should stay away from them.

Lin Xiaoyue carried a few prey on her back and walked out the door.

On the way, she greeted the villagers as usual.
