Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

The old man nodded and smiled kindly. "Come with me. I know a good place that I guarantee no one can find."

The group followed the old man and eventually arrived at a small wooden cabin hidden deep in the woods. The cabin was cozy and tidy, with a roaring fire in the fireplace.

"It's a secluded spot, so don't worry about being discovered," the old man said with a smile. "I can provide you with some dry food and water."

"Thank you so much for your help," Su Ting said gratefully.

The old man waved his hand, "No need to be so polite. It's only right to help each other when you're traveling."

"You should rest for a while. We still need to discuss our next steps," Old Li said to Su Ting.

Su Ting nodded in agreement, leaning wearily back in her chair. Looking at the familiar faces around her, she felt a sense of warmth and comfort.

"We must leave here before dawn tomorrow," Old Li said after sitting by the stove and pondering for a while.

“Yes, we have to hurry,” Su Ting agreed. “I don’t need to tell you how important the samples are, do I?”

Old Li looked at Su Ting earnestly, "I believe you can do it."

Looking out at the dark night sky, Su Ting murmured to himself, "I hope everything goes well."

After the old man left, Su Ting and the other three sat around the fireplace, discussing their next plan of action. The night outside the cabin remained deep, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects.

"We must leave here as soon as possible," Old Li emphasized again. "The enemy must already know our whereabouts, and the longer we stay, the worse it will be for us."

Su Ting rubbed his eyes, his weariness tinged with worry. "You're right, but we can't act blindly. What if we fall into an ambush again?"

"Don't worry, I'll find a chance to scout ahead," Su Ting said firmly. "As long as we're careful, there shouldn't be any problems."

Suddenly, a soft footstep sounded outside the door. The group instantly became alert. Su Ting quickly got up, quietly walked to the door, and peered through the crack to observe the situation outside. He saw an unfamiliar figure walking towards the small house.

"Don't move!" Su Ting whispered, drawing his dagger as he prepared to respond to any unexpected situation.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open, and the old hunter walked in. “You don’t need to worry,” the old man said softly. “I just saw some suspicious people loitering around here; they might be your enemies who are chasing you.”

Hearing this, Su Ting breathed a slight sigh of relief, but remained vigilant. "Where are they now?"

The old man pointed out the window, "It's on a small hill not far away, seemingly observing this area."

“We must leave here immediately, before they find out,” Su Ting said quickly.

Old Li nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "We need to find a new hiding place, preferably one that is out of their sight."

Su Ting looked up at the pitch-black night outside the window, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. "It's so late, where can we find a safe place?"

“Come with me, I know a place where we can take temporary shelter,” the old man suddenly said. “But the journey is quite treacherous, I don’t know if you can hold out.”

"As long as there's a way to escape, no matter how difficult it is," Old Li said without hesitation.

The group quickly packed their belongings and followed the old man through the dense forest, along a narrow and winding path. The night wind howled, and the dark shadows of the trees all around seemed to be telling some ancient story.

“This road is really well hidden,” Su Ting murmured. “No wonder the enemy can’t find us.”

"The terrain here is very complex, and it's difficult for the average person to find their way out," the old man explained proudly. "I used to play in this forest a lot when I was a child, and I'm very familiar with every plant and tree here."

After walking for about half an hour, a hidden cave appeared ahead. The entrance was small, but large enough for the group to enter. Su Ting was the first to peek inside and found the space to be spacious, dry, and warm.

"We should be able to settle down here for now," he said, turning to the others.

After the group entered the cave, the old man took out a tinderbox and lit several candles, illuminating the entire space. Only then did they notice some simple daily necessities inside the cave, clearly prepared by the old man when he frequently visited this place.

"I never expected you could find such a remote place. You're truly a master," Su Ting exclaimed in admiration.

"Haha," the old man chuckled, "it never hurts to be careful when you're out and about."

"Let's rest here for a while and recharge before we talk," Old Li suggested.

Everyone sat down and took out their rations and water to replenish their strength. Su Ting walked alone to the cave entrance, gazing at the night outside, lost in thought. He knew that this mission was of paramount importance and could not afford the slightest mistake.

Just then, a slight noise came from afar. Su Ting immediately held his breath and listened carefully. Sure enough, someone was quietly approaching.

"Someone's coming!" Su Ting warned in a low voice.

"Is it the enemy?" Su Ting asked in a panic.

"It's not certain yet, but I have a bad feeling." Su Ting gripped the dagger tightly, ready to react at any moment.

Old Li and Su Ting also stood up, preparing for the impending crisis. The old man, meanwhile, took out a homemade bow and arrow from a corner and calmly aimed it at the cave entrance.

"No matter who it is, we have to be careful," Old Li said in a low voice.

"Hopefully they won't find this place," Su Ting said in a low voice, somewhat worried.

At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps approached, accompanied by whispers. Su Ting closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and prepared to fight.

"They're here..." he murmured softly.

Suddenly, a familiar laugh came from outside.

"Old Li, are you hiding here?" The voice carried a hint of smugness.

Su Ting was startled; he recognized the voice...

"How could it be you?" Su Ting asked in surprise.

Standing at the door was someone completely unexpected. The person wore a smile, but their eyes held a chilling glint.

"It's me, Su Ting. Do you really think you can escape my grasp?" The newcomer sneered, his tone full of threat.

"So it was you..." Old Li said in a deep voice.

Su Ting's heart tightened; he never expected to encounter this guy here. The other party had clearly laid a trap, and this time he was likely truly in dire straits…

"How did you know we were..." Su Ting questioned, but before he could finish, the other party slowly raised the weapon in his hand and said coldly, "There are some things you don't need to know."

A tense atmosphere enveloped the entire cave, the air thick with a suffocating sense of crisis. How will they cope with this sudden and formidable enemy?

"No matter what, we must fight to the death!" Su Ting said firmly.

A resolute glint flashed in Old Li's eyes. He slowly stood up, his gaze sharp as he stared directly at the newcomer: "Since you've come to our door, we won't surrender!"

"Hmph," the other party sneered, the weapon in his hand gleaming coldly in the dim candlelight, "I advise you to surrender obediently, lest you bring trouble upon yourselves."

Outside the cave, several passing hunters overheard the conversation inside and stopped to peer curiously inside.

“Hey, why is there someone here?” one of the hunters said softly.

"It looks like there's a standoff," another hunter frowned. "Who are they in the middle of the night?"

Old Li and Su Ting were unaware of the presence of others outside the cave; they kept their eyes fixed on the familiar enemy. The old man, meanwhile, silently drew back his bowstring and aimed towards the cave entrance.

"Old Li, don't waste your energy," the enemy said with a hint of sarcasm. "None of you will escape today."

Su Ting gripped his knife tightly, his eyes filled with determination: "Then let's go, let's see who the ultimate victor is!"

Suddenly, one of the hunters outside the cave couldn't help but whisper, "What are they up to? Why are they so tense?"

The other hunter shook his head: "Let's hurry up and leave, don't get involved."

Hearing the whispers outside, Old Li turned sharply, his gaze fixed intently on the cave entrance. "Who's out there?" he asked in a low voice.

The hunters outside were taken aback and immediately became flustered. "Oh, sorry... we were just passing by," one of the hunters explained awkwardly.

Old Li nodded, signaling them not to panic: "Don't worry, there are just some things to take care of. You should leave here as soon as possible."

Su Ting glanced at the figures outside the cave, feeling slightly relieved. If there was real danger, at least these witnesses could testify for them. However, he knew the current situation was extremely dangerous, and he absolutely could not afford to relax even for a moment.

"You innocent people should leave now. What's about to happen here is none of your business," Su Ting shouted towards the outside of the cave.

"Yes, yes!" the hunters replied in unison, quickly leaving the cave, but their hearts were full of questions.

Seeing this unexpected situation, the enemy frowned slightly: "This is really annoying... but it doesn't matter, you'll soon find out the consequences of resisting me."

Su Ting and Old Li exchanged a glance, seeing unwavering determination in each other's eyes. At that moment, the old man quietly approached the cave entrance, his bow and arrows still firmly in his hand.

"Are you ready?" Old Li asked in a low voice.

“I’ve been prepared for a long time,” Su Ting replied, the knife in his hand gleaming coldly.

The enemy slowly approached, each step exuding murderous intent. At that moment, the old man suddenly fired an arrow, the arrow streaking across the night sky like a meteor, striking the enemy directly in the shoulder. The enemy cried out in pain and staggered back a few steps.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Old Li rushed forward and engaged the enemy in battle. Su Ting assisted him from the side, and within a few moves, they gradually gained the upper hand. Although the hunters outside the cave had gone far away, they could still vaguely hear the sounds of fierce fighting coming from inside the cave, and they were all deeply shocked.

The fight lasted for a while, and finally, with a powerful punch from Old Li, the enemy fell to the ground, panting heavily.

“It’s over…” Su Ting said breathlessly.

However, at that moment, a new noise came from outside the door, as if more footsteps were approaching. Su Ting's heart sank. Who was it this time?

"Could there still be enemies?" Old Li asked warily.
