Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 246 Countermeasures
Woof woof woof
Three loud barks shattered the night's tranquility; it was Big Yellow barking.

The advantage of having three dogs is that they can work together as a team, take turns resting, and are always in a state of high alert.

It was precisely because of this that Bi Juncai was spotted by the alert Da Huang as soon as he approached the courtyard wall, and the alarm was sounded instantly.

Upon hearing Da Huang's voice, Bi Jun, who had been calm and composed, instantly changed his expression and started jogging.

He felt like a fool, having waited for four whole hours, only to be discovered the moment he took action.

If he had known this would happen, why would he have waited until now? He could have easily revealed his whereabouts at midnight.

But there's no use regretting it now; Bi Jun can only try his best to make up for his mistakes with his abilities.

With a simple running start, Bi Jun easily scaled the courtyard wall, which was more than a meter high.

To prevent thieves, Wang Chengpeng laid some glass shards and scrap iron pieces on the courtyard wall.

Especially those seemingly insignificant scraps of iron, which have rusted from the rain, if you were to get even a tiny scratch on them, you'd be in serious trouble, if not dead.

However, this ingenious design failed to achieve its intended effect.

Bi Jun is now fully armed, especially with those thick gloves, which protect him from glass shards and metal fragments.

Bi Jun frowned as he looked at the three vicious dogs under the courtyard wall.

He knew that Wang Chengpeng's family kept dogs, but he didn't know that they were three such fierce and vicious dogs.

Especially Xiao Hei, which was almost hidden in the darkness, only revealing a few white canine teeth, which made Bi Jun feel uneasy.

If he gets bitten a few times, Bi Jun's fate probably won't be much better.

A fierce glint flashed in Bi Jun's eyes, and he pulled out a pistol from his pocket.

If he doesn't force his way through at a time like this, he might just end up dead here.

Because of the close proximity, Bi Jun hurriedly fired a shot at the white dot beneath him.

oooo~
I don't know which puppy got shot, but it suddenly let out a mournful yelp.

However, even the cries of their companions could not deter these brave little guardians. They did not back down and remained huddled in the corner, guarding their home.

Inside the room, Wang Chengpeng reacted the instant he heard the noise, grabbing his weapon and heading to the door.

Bang!
A muffled thud stood out abruptly amidst the barking, and Wang Chengpeng's expression changed instantly.

He was, after all, a skilled hunter who was adept at using shotguns, so he was no stranger to the sound of gunfire and quickly recognized it as the sound of a pistol.

The enemy was so fierce that they even had pistols, so he dared not hold back in the slightest when he attacked.

Taking advantage of the thugs' attention being drawn to the dog, Wang Chengpeng gently pushed open his door and slipped into the darkness.

Wang Chengpeng was so fast that Bi Jun didn't even notice, his attention still entirely focused on the dog in the corner.

Bi Jun's expression hardened. He never expected that Wang Chengpeng's dog would be so powerful, even unafraid of a handgun.

If it were an ordinary family's dog, it would probably have been scared out of its wits after the shooter fired the gun.

Looks like we can't skimp on these bullets!
Thinking this, Bi Jun raised his pistol again and fired another shot at his lower body.

However, Bi Jun wasn't so lucky this time. It was pitch black, and the dogs were prepared, so the shot missed.

Just as Bi Jun fired his second shot, Wang Chengpeng finally spotted the bandits.

Under the cover of darkness, a dark figure could be seen standing on the wall of his own yard, like a monster, confronting the dogs.

We absolutely cannot allow the bandits to fire a third shot!

A cold glint flashed in Wang Chengpeng's eyes. The dogs were helping him protect his home, so how could he bear to see them get hurt?

With that thought in mind, Wang Chengpeng quickly raised his hunting rifle and aimed it directly at the bandits.

As night deepened, Wang Chengpeng could only vaguely make out a shadowy figure on the courtyard wall.

This time, the situation was completely different from the last time we hunted wild boar. Back then, the moonlight helped us to see the target much more clearly.

However, considering his physical condition, as long as Wang Chengpeng can hit the target, he can easily take down the unidentified bandit in front of him; the difficulty is not very high.

Without hesitation, after a brief aiming, Wang Chengpeng pulled the trigger.

Dog's life is also a life; he couldn't give the bandits another chance to fire.

To ensure he could hit his target, Wang Chengpeng abandoned the head and aimed at the larger parts of the bandit's body.

With one shot, even if he couldn't kill the bandit instantly, he could completely incapacitate him.

Thump,

With a muffled gunshot, a bullet charged forward with unstoppable force.

To Bi Jun's disbelief, the bullet pierced the night and struck him directly in the chest.

The immense impact caused him to stumble and fall straight down the wall.

Damn it, this family not only has guns, but they're also shamelessly hiding behind others and sniping at people.

I was careless for a moment and actually fell for it!
Without even checking his injuries, Bi Jun covered his wounds and fled in a panic.

Unlike Wang Chengpeng, he was a wanted criminal. If he were trapped here, he would face certain death.

On the other side, just as Bi Jun fell off the courtyard wall, a look of joy flashed in Wang Chengpeng's eyes.

Based on his extensive shooting experience and the situation of the bandits, Wang Chengpeng quickly made a judgment: the shot had undoubtedly hit the enemy's body.

However, he did not choose to pursue them. Instead, he returned to the house and ordered the dogs to retreat.

Since ancient times, one should not pursue a desperate enemy, especially one who is armed. A hasty pursuit could very well result in being killed by the enemy.

Such a huge commotion finally woke up the sleeping people.
Soon, a dim yellow light shone into the room, and Wang Tieshan's figure appeared.

The moment Wang Tieshan saw Wang Chengpeng, he rushed forward anxiously and asked with concern:
"Son, what's going on? The dog has been barking non-stop since just now."

At this point, Wang Tieshan's worry deepened, and he said:

"Not only that, I even heard a few gunshots."

The situation was beyond what Wang Chengpeng could conceal, so he immediately told the truth:
"Father, quickly put out the oil lamp, then tell Mother and Little Sister to find a safe place to hide."

“Our family has always been kind to others and never sought trouble, but we never expected that we would still attract the covetous eyes of bandits.”

"While the bandits were distracted by the dogs, I secretly fired a shot, and it looks like I hit them."

"Even so, we still cannot let our guard down."

"If there is more than one enemy, or if the enemy is not fatally wounded and is hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to strike, we are still in a very dangerous situation."

"Don't worry about the enemy's situation; at this time, our safety should be the priority."

Lighting up now offers absolutely no benefit other than providing the bandits with a field of vision.

Fortunately, Wang Tieshan trusted Wang Chengpeng completely. Almost as soon as Wang Chengpeng told him to turn off the lights, he immediately blew out the oil lamp in his hand, which would have given away their location. In an instant, the house was dark again, but it gave people a very reassuring feeling.

They split up; Wang Tieshan went to find Liu Chunhua, and Wang Chengpeng went to find Wang Meiyan. The family quickly reunited in the storage room.

There were a lot of debris left over from the construction of the house, which provided the four people with the best cover.

In addition, the power of handguns is relatively low, so even if someone were to shoot from outside the window, the four people would not be in any danger.

Patting Wang Meiyan, who was trembling all over, Wang Chengpeng gently comforted her:

"Little sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Although he was comforting Wang Meiyan, Wang Chengpeng's brows were furrowed deeply.

His invincible record eventually made him complacent, and he almost caused a disaster for his family's safety.

Within the rules, Wang Chengpeng was indeed in an invincible position.

However, outside the rules, Wang Chengpeng's power seems so vulnerable.

If they hadn't been prepared and trained three dogs to guard the house, tonight might have been the night their whole family met with disaster.

No, I have to do something.

Despite being reborn, he has once again placed his family in such a dangerous situation; he has utterly disgraced the reborn.

No matter who it is, if I find out, I'll make them pay for any attack they dare to make.

With his brain working at lightning speed, Wang Chengpeng quickly identified several suspicious individuals in his mind.

Liu Yanran?
Zhou Xia?

Song Zhiyuan?
Shen family?

Fang Weimin?
It wasn't that Wang Chengpeng looked down on these people, but rather that they genuinely lacked the ability to hire thugs.

These are ruthless, armed thugs; ordinary people would never even have the chance to meet them, let alone hire them.

A hint of frustration flashed in Wang Chengpeng's eyes as he realized he couldn't find any trace of the enemy.

If he hadn't been so careful and made so many arrangements, and hadn't gone to great lengths to acquire a hunting rifle,

Otherwise, even if Wang Chengpeng discovers the enemy's whereabouts, he may not be able to successfully counterattack, and the Wang family may still face annihilation this time.

After all, the bandits had guns and were extremely vicious. Even if Wang Chengpeng knew some kung fu, how could he possibly fight against a pistol with his bare hands?

Pulling his thoughts back, Wang Chengpeng was unusually calm at this moment, scrutinizing his surroundings to prevent the other party from having any further tricks up their sleeve.

What followed was an extremely quiet period, with no sound except for the family's breathing.

The bandit seemed to be alone, and after falling off the courtyard wall, he did nothing else, which relieved Wang Chengpeng a little.

With the sound of a rooster crowing, dawn broke, and the sky gradually changed from pitch black to a hazy gray.

In summer, the sky always gets light earlier, especially in rural areas where there is no smog; it's already quite bright around five or six in the morning.

5: 08!

After glancing at the time on his hand and hesitating for a moment, Wang Chengpeng spoke directly:

"Father, Mother, we can't keep hiding like this. We have to go out and check the situation."

"You guys stay here. I have a gun. Nothing will happen."

Those who can fire their guns at will are naturally vicious bandits. The fact that the other party did not continue to attack them could not possibly be because they were merciful.

The only possibility is that the bandit was afraid of the hunting rifle in his hand, or that he was alone and, knowing that there was no way to save him after being shot, chose to flee.

Cutting down the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows!
Wang Chengpeng didn't want to be targeted by these bandits in the future, so he naturally planned to eliminate them completely.

Given the other party's horrific act of coming to his door to commit violence, Wang Chengpeng would have no problem shooting him to death.

Moreover, he needed to find clues about the mastermind behind the bandits, so he couldn't back down at this time.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chengpeng stood up, grabbed his gun and a powerful flashlight, and was about to rush out when he was stopped by three warm hands.

In the dim light, Wang Chengpeng saw three pairs of anxious eyes. Liu Chunhua couldn't help but speak up and offer advice:
"Son, they have guns, don't act rashly."

"Let's wait a little longer, let's wait a little longer."

"We'll be safer when the village militia notices something's wrong and comes to patrol."

Liu Chunhua's eyes betrayed her fear, but she forced herself not to show it in front of her children.

Wang Tieshan even went so far as to snatch the gun from Wang Chengpeng's hand, saying:
“If it’s going to be something dangerous, it should be me. Son, you protect them, let me go and deal with this thug.”

Feeling his family's concern, Wang Chengpeng felt even more guilty and said:
"Father, Mother, please protect my little sister."

“You don’t know how to use guns, so it’s safest for me to go in this situation.”

"I will bring my dog ​​with me, and I will let it scout ahead if there is any danger."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

After a brief explanation, Wang Chengpeng broke free of his restraints and resolutely rushed out.

If someone has to step up to protect their family at this time, then that person can only be themselves.

After a whistle blew, Xiao Hei and Xiao Jin quickly gathered in front of Wang Chengpeng.

The fact that Dahuang didn't come clearly indicates that it was seriously injured. In a sense, Wang Chengpeng's decision to attack now is also to buy time for Dahuang.

If he doesn't deal with the enemy soon, how will he have time to take Dahuang to the vet for treatment?
Considering that his own home still needed to be protected, Wang Chengpeng ultimately chose to take only Xiao Hei with him, leaving Xiao Jin behind to continue guarding the house.

As the saying goes, "It takes a thousand days to raise an army for one day to use it," and Wang Chengpeng's expensively raised dogs finally came in handy at this moment.

Under Wang Chengpeng's orders, Xiao Hei, fearless of death, led the way for Wang Chengpeng.

As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard gate, the pungent smell of blood hit me.

Frowning as he looked at the pool of blood still flowing beneath the courtyard wall, Wang Chengpeng knew that his previous decision had been correct.

This bandit was indeed vicious and ruthless. Even though he was seriously injured, he was still thinking about how to complete his mission and ambushed him from under the courtyard wall.

If I impulsively rush out, I might be met with bullets fired from the shadows.

As a well-trained dog, Xiao Hei can also be used as a hunting dog to track prey.

Excitedly sniffing at the bloodstains, the dog quickly sprang into action, running rapidly in one direction.

Although the direction of the bandits had been determined, Wang Chengpeng was not in a hurry, but kept a long distance from Xiao Hei.

He bought the dog so that it could be used in a critical moment, so he naturally wouldn't let his compassion get the better of him and risk his life.

He also has his own promise, a promise to bring his family home safely.
