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

"Who are you? How do you know so much?" Su Ting asked suspiciously.

But the other person didn't answer, instead turning and running towards the exit. "Follow me!" Seeing this, Su Ting immediately led the others to follow closely behind...

“Wait,” the nimble figure spoke again after running for a few minutes, “There’s something ahead, we need to stop and check.” She said softly, her eyes gleaming with alertness.

Everyone held their breath, waiting to see what would happen. What unknown fate awaited them hidden under the cover of night?

"What should we do next?" a young man asked nervously.

Su Ting glanced at the resolute looks in his companions' eyes and silently resolved to bring them home safely no matter what. "Whatever happens, we'll face it together," he said to them.

The masked man stopped and gestured for everyone to take cover. Su Ting led the villagers to quickly hide behind a boulder, nervously watching what lay ahead. In the distance, faint lights seemed to flicker, and whispers could be heard intermittently.

"Is it the enemy?" a villager asked softly, his voice filled with obvious worry.

Su Ting nodded: "Very likely. But don't panic, we are prepared."

The masked man glanced back at them and said in a low voice, "There are a few patrolmen over there. Follow me, and I'll try to get around them."

The group exchanged glances, nodded, and then followed closely behind Su Ting. A tense atmosphere hung in the air; everyone felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. Passing through a gap in the dense forest, they discovered a makeshift camp ahead, with a dozen or so figures stationed there. These people were dressed very differently from the monsters they had encountered before, clearly belonging to a specific organization.

"Who is this person?" Su Ting asked in a low voice, his eyes revealing deep doubt.

"Never mind who they are, we must leave as soon as possible." The masked man seemed anxious. "They have more powerful weapons and tools, and it will be troublesome to deal with them."

Just then, a commotion broke out in the camp. Several figures carrying torches rushed out of the tents, as if they had discovered something.

"Damn it!" the masked man cursed under his breath, then turned to Su Ting and said, "You guys wait here for a while, I'll go scout ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the darkness. The villagers looked at each other, a sense of tension passing between them.

"Is that masked man really our friend?" a young villager asked, frowning. "Something feels off."

"We can't worry about that now. At least he did help us just now," another middle-aged man reassured everyone. "Let's trust him for now; maybe he really can get us out of danger."

Just then, a soft footstep sounded again, and everyone immediately became alert, gripping their weapons tightly. However, the masked man reappeared, this time holding something else—a blueprint. "This is a layout map of their camp," the man said, handing it over. "Based on this information, we can find the safest route to escape."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you!" Su Ting took the blueprints and examined them carefully. "Following this route... should allow us to avoid most of the sentry posts."

At that moment, a timid villager couldn't help but ask, "But what if we get discovered?"

“We will do everything in our power to protect each other,” Su Ting said firmly, his eyes shining with an indomitable spirit. “As long as we remain calm and act swiftly, we can escape successfully.”

“Brother Su Ting is right!” A strong young man straightened his back and patted his chest to assure us, “With him by our side, we’re not afraid of anything!”

As these encouraging words faded, the team regrouped. Su Ting led the way, leaving a trail of firm steps in the moonlight. Occasionally, the howls of wolves could be heard in the distance, adding a touch of eeriness to the adventure.

After proceeding cautiously, the group finally managed to escape the other's sight. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to quicken their pace, a hurried sound suddenly came from behind—

"Wait, don't walk so fast!" It was one of the villagers who had been at the back of the group, panting as he said, "I think someone's catching up with us..."

These words immediately made everyone's hearts leap into their throats. "Who is it?" Su Ting turned around, his eyes sharp as a knife.

"I don't know their specific identity, I just saw their shadow flash by..." the person explained somewhat stammeringly.

The air seemed to freeze instantly, and everyone instinctively gripped their weapons. The fear brought by the unknown far surpassed anything tangible.

Just as everyone was preparing to take further action, the faint sound of horses' hooves broke the silence in the distance. This was clearly not the kind of noise that could be made by an ordinary passerby…

“Those are… cavalry!” Su Ting squinted and judged. “There are quite a few of them. I’m afraid this time we’re really in big trouble.”

"Can we still escape?" a villager asked in horror, watching the firelight draw ever closer.

“No,” Su Ting replied decisively. “Find a good place to ambush; perhaps then we’ll have a chance to counterattack.”

Su Ting quickly surveyed their surroundings. The woods under the cover of night offered some cover, but not enough to repel the approaching cavalry. He whispered the order, "Everyone, spread out and take cover. Find a suitable position and prepare for battle."

The group immediately followed his instructions. Some ducked behind bushes, while others hid behind boulders. Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes filled with tension and unease.

"This is really bad..." an old villager complained in a trembling voice, "I shouldn't have risked coming here..."

The young man next to him quickly reassured him, "Don't be afraid, Uncle Wang. With Brother Su Ting here, he will definitely be able to protect us."

However, this strained confidence didn't seem to make those around him feel much better. At that moment, an indescribable sense of oppression filled the air.

Just as everyone held their breath in anticipation, a seemingly young but bold boy suddenly peeked out from behind a tree to observe the enemy situation. "Hey, it's not just mounted soldiers coming from over there, there are also a few who seem to be the leaders," he whispered to the masked man not far away.

The masked man nodded slightly upon hearing this, then turned to Su Ting and said, "It seems that the other side is not entirely unprepared, and may have already guessed that we would escape. However, since that's the case, why don't we do the opposite and give them an unexpected counterattack?"

Hearing this, the previously somewhat dejected atmosphere was instantly revitalized. Although still apprehensive, many people's eyes already gleamed with fighting spirit.

“Let’s do it this way! Although we are outnumbered, we are flexible and mobile. If we seize the opportunity, we might be able to catch them off guard!” Another strong young man said eagerly.

As the distance closed, the enemy showed no sign of slowing down; in fact, they drew closer. Su Ting gently patted the shoulder of the person next to him. "Ready? Remember, follow my instructions."

Just as the two sides were only a few steps apart, suddenly, a volley of arrows shot out from the shadows, heading straight for the enemy. Caught off guard, several riders screamed and fell from their horses, and the ranks were thrown into chaos.

"Charge!" Su Ting commanded, and the ambushing crowd surged out like a tide, engaging in fierce combat with the chaotic enemy. Amidst the clashing of swords and blades, Su Ting displayed unparalleled bravery, each move a deadly attack, quickly felling several opponents to the ground.

"Wow, that's amazing! No wonder he's the guardian of our village!" exclaimed a child watching the battle, speechless with amazement.

Meanwhile, the masked man who had been watching from a distance joined the battle, wielding his longsword with incredible skill, each strike hitting a vital point. "This guy is no ordinary fellow!" the previously daring youth exclaimed in amazement once more.

Just as the battle reached its climax, an unexpected event occurred—

An arrow of unknown origin suddenly fell from the sky, aiming precisely at Su Ting! In this critical moment, the masked man who had been silent all along suddenly stepped forward and shielded Su Ting with his own body!

"Watch out behind you!" the masked man shouted, then fell heavily to the ground.

Everyone was startled by the sight and stopped what they were doing to look at the two. "You all retreat first, I'll cover the rear here," Su Ting hurriedly helped his injured friend up and shouted orders to the others.

"But..." The villagers hesitated, clearly unwilling to abandon any of their companions and leave.

"There's no time to hesitate, hurry up!" Su Ting urged anxiously.

Just then, a clear, crisp sound came from afar—

"Brother Su~ I'm so glad you're alright!" Following the voice, a girl with a longbow in her hand and a lithe figure quickly approached. She was none other than Liu Yan, Su Ting's childhood sweetheart and cousin.

Liu Yan's arrival brought a different kind of color to this tense battlefield. She lightly leaped over the obstacles, her longbow still firmly gripped in her hand, her eyes revealing determination.

"Yan'er, what are you doing here?" Su Ting asked in surprise.

“How could I let you act alone? So I secretly followed you here,” Liu Yan said with a smile, while scanning the surroundings. “This place is fraught with danger; we need to leave quickly.”

“That’s right, this place isn’t safe.” The wounded masked man struggled to his feet. He looked around at the fallen enemies and then said to Su Ting, “We must move immediately, or more enemies will arrive soon.”

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, a voice suddenly came from deep within the woods:

"Humph, you want to run away? It's not that easy!"

Several figures swiftly emerged from the dense forest, led by a tall, burly man with a ferocious face. He gripped a massive sword, each step leaving deep footprints in the muddy ground.

“It seems we’ve met our match,” the masked man said in a deep voice, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.

"What are you afraid of!" the bold boy said defiantly, though frightened. "Let's attack together!"

"Don't be impulsive!" Su Ting hurriedly stopped them. "The most important thing now is to evacuate and minimize casualties."

"But..." The villagers looked at each other, all knowing that there was almost no chance of winning if they stayed, but they were unwilling to give up.

At this moment, the young, burly man suddenly shouted, "Listen to me, everyone, scatter and escape in four directions. This will draw their attention. Su Tingge and I will cover the rear and hold off the enemy."

Upon hearing this, the elderly villager, Old Wang, grabbed the young man's arm with some concern: "Aming, this is too dangerous, you can't do this..."

"It's alright, Uncle, you go first, we'll catch up." Young Amin smiled and squeezed the old man's hand tightly to comfort him.

"Good boy, be very careful." Old Wang's eyes were filled with tears, but he finally nodded and agreed to his suggestion.

“Then let’s do it this way!” Su Ting made a decisive decision. “Everyone will split into four teams and move in different directions. Remember not to look back. We’ll regroup when we find a safe place.”

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone quickly sprang into action. Several bold young people took the lead and rushed off along different paths, while the older or weaker individuals were supported by their companions and followed closely behind.

"Wait a moment, I'll cover your retreat!" the masked man who had been silent suddenly said, slowly lifting his veil to reveal his true face—a dashing young warrior. "Remember my words, no matter what happens, face it bravely."

Seeing his resolute gaze, Liu Yan gently patted Su Ting's shoulder, "Don't worry, brother, with him here, we should be able to get away safely."

"And what about you?" Su Ting asked with concern, "Are you coming with us?"

"Don't worry about me, I'm here to help," Liu Yan replied with a smile, but her eyes were unusually firm.

Just then, the enemy group drew much closer, and a heavy killing intent filled the air. Time was of the essence, and there was no time to think; Su Ting could only lead everyone to retreat quickly.

"Go quickly!" Su Ting gave the order, and everyone immediately scattered, running in different directions.
