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

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence. Su Ting jumped up, gripped the hilt of his sword, and shouted, "Who is it!"

Startled awake, Su Ting and Su Ting immediately scrambled to their feet and grabbed their weapons. The guide also reacted quickly, gripping his dagger tightly.

Several pairs of wary eyes searched the darkness, the footsteps growing closer. Finally, a figure came into their view. It was a young woman, dressed in tattered clothes, running breathlessly to their camp.

The woman said anxiously, "I'm sorry to bother you. I'm from a nearby village, and a group of bandits are chasing me. Please help me..."

Su Ting lowered his guard slightly and asked, "How did you get chased by bandits? What happened?"

A flicker of despair crossed the woman's eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "They are the infamous 'Shadow Thieves,' who specialize in robbing passing caravans. Today they attacked our village and stole all our food and valuables. I'm the village doctor; I was discovered while trying to escape..."

Feeling sympathy, Su Ting looked at Su Ting and asked, "Can we help her?"

Su Ting pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "Of course we can, but we must be careful not to fall into the enemy's trap. You guys get your weapons ready, and we'll go check out the situation."

Su Ting nodded in agreement: "Yes, saving lives is also our responsibility. Besides, it's already so late, and she can't possibly go looking for other help."

Although the guide seemed somewhat worried, he agreed to everyone's decision: "Alright, let's go together."

The woman nodded gratefully and led them towards a small valley not far away. Along the way, she kept looking back, appearing very nervous.

The group followed the winding path and soon arrived at the mouth of the valley. The environment inside the valley was even harsher, with jagged rocks and overgrown weeds, as if nature had deliberately set up obstacles for them.

Su Ting whispered a reminder to everyone: "The terrain here is complicated, so be extra careful and don't get separated easily."

Su Ting nodded, holding his long sword and leading the group slowly into the valley. The woman followed behind him, constantly whispering instructions on precautions.

Just then, a strange sound came, like a low breathing sound, or the roar of some kind of wild beast. Su Ting stopped and signaled everyone to remain vigilant.

Su Ting gently pushed aside the bushes beside him, peeked out, and gasped: "There's movement ahead. It looks like someone's lying in ambush."

Su Ting frowned and said, "It seems these thieves are more cunning than we thought. We must find a way to bypass them or distract them."

Su Ting suggested, "I can make some noise to attract their attention, and you can take the opportunity to flank them from the side."

Su Ting thought for a moment and nodded: "That's a good idea. Hurry up, we'll cooperate with you."

Once the plan was finalized, Su Ting quickly left the group and began making noise. Sure enough, the thieves ahead were soon drawn to it, and the noise gradually faded away.

Su Ting waved his hand, leading the others to quietly flank from the other side. A few minutes later, they found a high vantage point overlooking the entire bandit camp.

A group of poorly equipped but fierce-looking bandits were seen robbing a carriage of valuables. The "Shadow Thieves" mentioned by the woman must be these people.

Su Ting quietly asked Su Ting, "How should we attack? Should we charge straight in? Or use a tactical sneak attack?"

After a moment of contemplation, Su Ting decisively said, "We'll split into two teams. You and the guide will be on the right, and Su Ting and I will be on the left. We'll attack from both sides simultaneously and try to finish this quickly."

Su Ting nodded in agreement: "Understood, let's get started."

The two quickly separated, each leading their own team stealthily forward to find the best position for a surprise attack. Su Ting, meanwhile, quietly moved to the left flank, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

At a signal, Su Ting leaped up, sword in hand, and charged into the thieves' ranks. Su Ting followed closely behind, his dagger flashing as he swiftly dispatched several enemies.

Su Ting and the guide launched a fierce attack from the other side, disrupting the enemy's formation. The sudden attack caught the thieves off guard, and the scene descended into chaos.

After a brief but fierce battle, the thieves were scattered and fled in all directions. Su Ting quickly sheathed his sword, walked up to the woman, and asked, "Are you alright? Are you injured?"

The woman wiped the sweat from her brow and said gratefully, "Thank you so much. It's all thanks to your timely appearance; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Su Ting smiled and replied, "It's good that you're alright. We'll escort you back to the village and see if there's anything else you need help with."

The woman nodded her thanks, and the group began to return to their original path, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings as they went, just in case.

Su Ting and his group cautiously retraced their steps, the woman following closely behind, glancing back every now and then with a wary expression. Su Ting and the guide stood on either side, alert to any movement around them.

"We need to get back quickly to avoid any further accidents," Su Ting said in a low voice, his eyes firm and calm.

“No problem, but this road is not easy to travel, we need to be vigilant.” Su Ting nodded in response, his eyes scanning the surrounding jungle, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

The group continued onward, the occasional chirping of birds echoing through the woods, sounding somewhat eerie. Suddenly, a low roar resounded again, and Su Ting immediately stopped, signaling everyone to remain silent.

“It’s happening again,” Su Ting said, frowning. “The sound seems to be coming from ahead; we need to be careful.”

"Could it be those thieves again?" the woman asked nervously, her voice trembling slightly.

Su Ting shook his head: "It doesn't sound like a human voice. Let's find a secluded place to observe first."

The group quickly dispersed, searching for suitable hiding places. Su Ting and Su Ting hid behind a large tree, observing the situation ahead through the gaps in the branches.

"What's that?" Su Ting pointed ahead in surprise, only to see a huge black shadow moving through the woods, seemingly a large wild beast.

“That’s a black bear,” Su Ting said softly. “We have to go around it to avoid being spotted.”

The group quickly adjusted their route, carefully avoiding the area. Just when they thought they were safe, a woman's exclamation suddenly broke the silence.

"what!"

Everyone turned around and saw a huge wolf leap out of the woods, pouncing directly on the woman. Su Ting reacted swiftly, shoving the woman aside and simultaneously slashing his sword at the wolf's neck. The blade sliced ​​through the wolf's neck, sending up a cloud of blood; the wolf whimpered and collapsed to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Su Ting asked with concern, helping the woman up.

“Thank you, Su Ting,” the woman said, her face pale but still looking at him gratefully. “You are truly my saviors.”

"Don't be shy, we need to get out of here as soon as possible," Su Ting said. He glanced around and, seeing no other signs of danger, led the group onward.

The group quickened their pace and soon returned to the outskirts of the village. The villagers rushed out to greet them, and all smiled with joy upon seeing the woman return safely.

"That's wonderful, you're back!" An old man stepped forward and grasped the woman's hand tightly. "We were so worried about you."

“Thanks to Su Ting and the others,” the woman said with a smile, “if they hadn’t shown up in time, I might not have made it back.”

Su Ting waved his hand and said modestly, "This is what we should do. Your village is safe for now, but we still need to strengthen our vigilance to prevent any unforeseen events."

The old man nodded in agreement, thanked Su Ting and the others, and arranged for several people to accompany them on a patrol of the area surrounding the village.

As evening fell, Su Ting and Su Ting rested in the village square, watching the busy villagers gradually return to normal. Suddenly, a young girl ran over, holding two apples and handing them to them.

"Here you go, this is a small token of my appreciation. Thank you for saving my sister," the little girl said shyly.

Su Ting and Su Ting smiled and accepted the apple. The little girl smiled sweetly, turned around and ran away.

"What a brave little girl," Su Ting remarked.

“Yes, the people here are very kind and simple; we should do our best to protect them,” Su Ting nodded and said.

As night fell, a bonfire gradually lit up the village, and the villagers sat around it, chatting and laughing. Su Ting and Su Ting sat to one side, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

“We need to set off early tomorrow to investigate these recent thieving activities,” Su Ting said, a hint of worry in his voice.

“Yes, I’ve gotten some leads. Several villagers have seen them in the nearby caves,” Su Ting said.

"That's good. We must find their hiding place and solve this problem completely," Su Ting said firmly.

“I can definitely do it,” Su Ting nodded, “but I’ll get a good rest tonight and recharge my energy.”

“That’s right,” Su Ting smiled. “Good night, see you tomorrow.”

Su Ting nodded, and the two returned to their respective tents to prepare for the next day's operation.

As night deepened, the campfires in the village gradually died down, and the villagers returned to their homes one after another. Su Ting lay in his tent, the faint chirping of insects filling the air, but he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The scenes from the day kept replaying in his mind, and he worried about the safety of the village.

"Hopefully nothing unexpected will happen tonight," Su Ting muttered to himself, turning over in bed.

Just then, light footsteps sounded outside the tent. Su Ting immediately became alert, quickly sat up in bed, gripped his sword hilt, and prepared to deal with any possible emergencies.

"Who's outside?" he asked in a low voice.

The tent flap was gently lifted, and a figure silently entered. "It's me, Su Ting," Su Ting's voice rang out in the darkness. "You weren't asleep either?"

Su Ting breathed a sigh of relief and put down his sword. "Why aren't you asleep? What happened?"

Su Ting walked to the middle of the tent, and in the dim moonlight, his serious expression could be seen. "I noticed something's wrong. I just patrolled around the village and found a group of people lurking suspiciously on the outskirts."

Su Ting immediately tensed up. "How many people are there? Did you see clearly who they are?"

“There were about five or six people, dressed in tattered clothes, who looked like members of the thief gang,” Su Ting said. “They wandered around outside the village for a while, and then it seemed they headed north.”

“We have to go check it out.” Su Ting stood up, picked up his longsword and backpack. “Are you sure they’re heading north?”

Su Ting nodded. "Absolutely certain. Let's act quickly and not give these guys another chance to get close to the village."

The two quickly left the tent, passed through the silent village, and headed north. The forest, illuminated by the moonlight, appeared exceptionally tranquil, but both were incredibly tense. They moved cautiously, trying to make as little noise as possible with each step.

After more than an hour of trekking, the two finally reached the edge of a forest. Su Ting pointed ahead and whispered, "They should be not far away. It seems they've entered that dense forest."
