Upon seeing Lu Yao draw his gun, the old woman Rita grabbed Lu Yao's hand, her voice trembling slightly:

"No, child... there are too many of them. Quickly... hide in the attic inside the house. There are windows there, and you can get onto the roof."

As he spoke, he pushed Lu Yao into the inner room.

Lu Yao was unsure whether he could defeat his opponent.

Although she had an AKM rifle, she couldn't fire it; Imana was in the enemy's hands.

It's best to hide first and wait for an opportunity to act.

The old woman's fearful expression was definitely not feigned; she couldn't possibly be in cahoots with the bandits.

So he listened to her and went into the inner room.

Before the old lady could move the ladder, he leaped up, grabbed the edge of the opening in the ceiling with both hands, and with a strong push of his arms and waist, he flipped himself up.

Then gently pull the lid closed.

Rita saw that he had hidden himself before turning around and leaving.

Lu Yao did not climb onto the roof from the window.

Looking around, you can see that the attic runs through the entire house, and the floor is the ceiling of the whole house.

You can see inside the house through the gap.

He crawled out to the outer room and peered down through the cracks in the floorboards.

After all, being in a foreign country, he couldn't completely trust that Rita wouldn't betray him.

Rita opened the door, and a few guys came in, enveloped in the cold air.

The leader, Andrei, wore a shiny leather jacket and had a Tokarev pistol tucked into his waistband.

His wife, Natasha, was wearing a red headscarf and a puffy cotton-padded coat, carrying an AKM semi-automatic rifle.

The others behind them were dressed similarly.

Old military trousers were stuffed into tall felt boots, and either earmuffs were worn on leather caps, or heads were shaved, with greasy, matted hair.

Imana looked so petite as she was carried on the shoulders of a tall, thin man.

"How did Maxim's horse end up with you?"

Andrei was a big man with a deep voice, and his Russian had the smell of vodka.

Rita nervously rubbed her hands on her apron.

"A horse? What horse... Oh, that one, it came by itself, it was hungry, so I fed it some hay. Is its name Maxim? I don't know it!"

She deliberately spoke incoherently, as if she were truly old and senile.

Back then, it was only through her silly antics that the caravan members spared her life and released her.

Andrei squinted and scanned the room.

The earthen stove, wooden table, broken cabinet, and fireplace were nothing special.

He snorted and didn't ask any further questions.

Open the door to the inner room and go inside to take a look.

He was so tall that his head almost touched the entrance to the attic, but he didn't look up.

Seeing that no one was in the inner room, he went out.

The tall, thin man threw Imana, whom he was carrying horizontally, onto the small bed.

The little girl was bound hand and foot, with a cloth stuffed in her mouth, and could only glare at him angrily.

"Antonio, are you going to start playing now? Don't break the rules!"

Andrei asked a tall, thin man.

"Of course, she's my prisoner, I have priority! Alexander won't blame me."

Antonio chuckled, revealing a set of black fluorosis-stained teeth.

He took off his overcoat and wore a faded blue work uniform with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his hairy arms.

He plopped down on the edge of the bed, staring intently at Imana.

Andrei retorted, "General Alexander has always forbade this. I think you should wait until we get back. If you're starving, you can make something for yourself. Unlike me, a married man who can be released anytime!"

He then burst into laughter. Turning to Rita, he instructed:

"Old woman, hurry up and get us something to eat! We've been running all night and we're starving!"

Rita dared not disobey even slightly and quickly went to the stove to start a fire.

The female bandit Natasha leaned her gun against the wall, pulled over a stool, sat down, took out a small flask from her bosom, unscrewed it, and took a swig.

The other burly bandits were either standing or squatting, some taking out cigarettes to smoke, and the room quickly filled with the stench of cheap tobacco.

In the attic, Lu Yao held his breath.

My finger is on the trigger guard.

I really wanted to unleash a barrage of fire, shoot through the wooden planks, and kill them.

However, I'm still not entirely confident.

I kept telling myself to stay calm, that I had to stay calm at this moment!

We don't know if they have any more teams following them.

Based on previous observations at the camp, this group of bandits numbered at least thirty.

Andrei spun around twice, his big body making a "thump-thump" sound as he stepped on the floor.

"Natasha, let's go have some fun too."

With that, he roughly pulled Natasha up and took her to another room.

Natasha's cursing voice came from inside the house:

"You bastard, weren't you tired? Why are you still doing this!"

"I need to release some stress. After we finish eating, I'll eat again and then go to sleep. I'll go back to the mountains when I've calmed down."

The three burly men remaining in the outer room looked at the closed door and couldn't help but reveal evil smiles.

A man pulled a deck of cards from his pocket:

"Andrei can play with his wife, so all we can do is play cards."

The three of them gathered around the table and started playing cards.

They waited for Rita in the kitchen to cook for them.

At that moment, the sound of Imana struggling and whimpering came from another inner room.

The burly man playing cards cursed:

"That lecherous Antonio only knows how to play around with girls, he's gotten so skinny he's like a monkey!"

"Damn it, if General Alexander finds out he played with the prisoners halfway through, he'll definitely whip him!"

"Damn it, if General Alexander finds out he played with the prisoners halfway through, he'll definitely whip him!"

Several people burst into laughter.

Lu Yao was startled and quickly and quietly climbed back to the roof of the inner room, peering down through the cracks.

Antonio's hands started to wander off.

He first touched Imana's face, and when she squirmed, he became even more excited.

He bent down and pulled at the collar of her cotton robe, muttering vulgarities.

Imana struggled desperately, and the bed creaked.

The attic was a small storage room, filled with all sorts of odds and ends.

Lu Yao noticed a thin wire beside him and reached out to pick it up.

It was wrapped around my left hand, which was covered by a cotton glove.

Then gently remove the wooden board covering the exit.

Its body slid down like a cat, landing silently.

Antonio was completely focused on Imana and didn't notice anything amiss.

He grabbed Imana's shoulders and shoved a stinky mouth at her face.

Imana was terrified and struggled but could not break free from the big man's strong hand.

Just as he was about to kiss Imana's lips, he was suddenly pulled back up.

Imana stared wide-eyed in surprise.

The tall man was seen staggering back and forth as if he were drunk, his hands covering his neck.

A streak of blood seeped through his neck, and blood began to flow.

Imana saw what looked like a person hanging on his back.

Antonio then collapsed, and the person behind him revealed their face.

It was none other than Lu Yao, the country bumpkin!

Imana's eyes widened in surprise.

His body was arched up, his hands and feet were tied, but he couldn't help.

Antonio's neck was constricted by a wire, preventing him from making a sound.

The wire gradually dug into the flesh, and blood kept gushing out.

The wire cut into my throat...

"Gurgle"

A head was forcibly severed by Lu Yao.

If her mouth hadn't been gagged, Imana would have screamed in fright.

After dealing with Antonio, Lu Yao immediately picked up his gun and pointed it at the door.

We're just waiting for someone outside to come in so we can fire a burst of bullets at them.

After waiting for a long time, the three people outside continued their noisy card game without stopping, clearly unaware of the changes inside.

Lu Yao got up, untied Imana's hands and feet, and pulled the cloth out of her mouth.

First, cover her mouth before she speaks and whisper in her ear:

"Shh, don't make a sound, I'm taking you away."

Imana quickly covered her mouth, but tears still streamed down her face.

She whispered, "Little Tuwa, I'm so scared."

Lu Yao flicked her forehead:

"I was afraid you wouldn't listen to me, so I told you to follow slowly behind. Why did you ride off the horse like that?"

"I saw my mother being arrested, and Xiao Meizi was arrested too, so I panicked."

Lu Yao reached out and stroked the back of her head, then sighed.

This girl is kind and brave, it's just a pity she doesn't have that much ability.

If it were Shui Miao, she could have killed several of them.
