Actually, as soon as Guan Chibei appeared, he had killed a few jackals and leopards consecutively. He was extremely fast. That scheming leopard had noticed Guan Chibei's existence and knew his use. Hence, it wanted to attack Guan Chibei and finish him off.
However, Guan Chibei's archery was shockingly fast. He almost did not need to aim before shooting immediately. Even though Guan Chibei was still shooting another jackal for a second, when a leopard pounced on him sneakily, Guan Chibei could still instantly aim at it and shoot.
Moreover, he was not afraid at all. He was extremely calm. When the leopard was about to pounce on him, his movements were very fast and steady. He did not tremble at all.
The arrow did not miss at all..
Therefore, Guan Chibei stood there and only shot arrows. He had never been attacked by wild beasts.
The light of the torches illuminated the night. The villagers were gathered around Guan Chibei, so this place was even brighter.
There was chaos everywhere.
Guan Chibei looked around. The villagers beside him were full of reverence. They were about to speak to him when someone suddenly rushed out from the crowd. She looked panicked and weak. It was Liu Ya.
She staggered and rushed towards Guan Chibei. Her palm-sized face was pale and she looked pitiful. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed and she was filled with fear.
When she ran a few steps in front of Guan Chibei, she had already staggered and looked up at Guan Chibei with watery eyes.
Liu Ya said to Guan Chibei in fear, "Sixth… Sixth Brother Guan, are all the wild beasts dead? It won't be dangerous anymore, right? I'm so afraid."
Liu Ya was scared, her entire body trembling.
Just now, when the wild beasts suddenly rushed into the village, the Liu family's house was not far from here. At that time, the entire Liu family was in a mess and was very panicked. Then, the men immediately went to get weapons to protect themselves and arranged for the women and children to run immediately.
However, the Liu family had many men, which also meant that there were many wives and children. Therefore, when the Liu family wanted to escape, there were too many women and children. A large group of people looked very eye-catching.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Liu family was afraid that they would attract the attention of the wild beasts, so she arranged for someone to be the last to cover the retreat, just in case. Furthermore… if there were really wild beasts that chased after their family, the last person would sacrifice themselves to feed the wild beasts. The entire family could still escape.
Although it was cruel to think this way, it was worth it to exchange a person for a family.
Hence, Liu Ya, the youngest daughter of the Liu family, who had not married yet, was naturally arranged to be the one who cleaned up the aftermath.
Mother Liu was a little teary-eyed, but she silently agreed. This was because in her opinion, her grandsons and her daughters-in-law, who married into the family with the surname Liu, were naturally more important. Therefore, even though Mother Liu usually doted on Liu Ya, at this moment, she naturally felt that Liu Ya should handle the aftermath.
Hence, Liu Ya was the one who dealt with the aftermath. When the Liu family escaped, they were indeed unlucky. Just as the fierce beasts rushed away, the Liu family was indeed attacked by wild beasts!
The Liu family was extremely panicked and fled wildly while screaming. Fortunately, the Liu family had already run relatively quickly at that time. There were still many villagers here, so when the jackal rushed over, it only dispersed Liu Ya, who was at the end of the Liu family's group.
Then, that jackal bit another villager to death.
Without any threat, the Liu family immediately fled. Only Liu Ya was left behind. She was left behind and could not escape.
It was obvious how afraid Liu Ya was with her weak personality. Furthermore, Guan Chibei had just appeared and killed most of the wild beasts. Among the villagers, he was like a god who immediately received the worship of many villagers.
Liu Ya let out all the fear in her heart and rushed out to seek pity and protection from Guan Chibei.
She wanted to rush into Guan Chibei's arms.
Using the accident as a cover, she would have intimate contact with Guan Chibei in front of everyone. She would be hugged by Guan Chibei and everyone in the village would see it. No one would deny it.
This way, she could start a relationship between her and Sixth Brother Guan in front of the villagers…
Moreover, she was really afraid and the situation was serious. Sixth Brother Guan could not blame her. This was simply perfect.
In the end!
Liu Ya staggered towards Guan Chibei. As she was really afraid, she used up all her strength. When she was two or three steps away from Guan Chibei, her legs went limp and she fell under Guan Chibei's eyes.
Liu Ya was speechless. "…"
When Guan Chibei saw Liu Ya's figure, he did not retreat and avoid her. His tall figure stood on the spot and he looked down at Liu Ya, lying on the ground.
The other villagers also saw Liu Ya fall to the ground.
Liu Ya paused for a moment but did not give up on this opportunity. She propped herself up on the ground and looked up with tears in her eyes. She looked at Guan Chibei weakly and said in a trembling and broken voice—
"Sixth Brother Guan, I'm so afraid… There are too many people at home. There are so many children. The sisters-in-law want me to walk at the back and cover the retreat. Just now, a jackal pounced over and separated me from my family…"
"The children at home, my mother, and my sisters-in-law have already run away. I… I'm the only one who was left behind here. There's blood everywhere~" Liu Ya's thin body started to tremble, and her expression also pretended to be full of fear. She seemed to be crying but wasn't actually crying. Her eyes were gentle. "There were wild beasts everywhere. I kept dodging. These jackals and leopards were in front of me. I was really afraid…"
"Sixth Brother Guan, I'm so panicked… Fortunately, I saw you here. I don't have anyone else to rely on… Sixth Brother Guan, I beg you. Please. You have to protect me…"
Liu Ya looked at Guan Chibei with tears in her eyes. At this moment, she could no longer hide her emotions and had to show them.
Liu Ya knew how to express and control her emotions.
Everyone in the village was watching. It was reasonable for Liu Ya to seek protection from Guan Chibei in a panic. It was also reasonable for Guan Chibei, who had superb archery skills, to be willing to protect the weak Liu Ya.
Although the man was handsome and the woman was delicate, they were very ambiguous…
Guan Chibei did not move.
In the crowd, the remaining Liu family members, who were all men, had always kept the knowledge that Guan Chibei was their brother-in-law deep in their hearts. It was because Liu Ya had 'said so', when she returned home, that Guan Chibei had feelings for her in private. However, Guan Chibei's three babies were still young now, so it was not convenient to expose their relationship and agitate Guan Chibei's wife, Ye Lulu. They had to hide it for the time being.
They hid it deeply.
Therefore, the Liu family had always kept this 'secret' deep in their hearts. They only visited the Guan family according to the etiquette of the 'relationship between the two families' during the New Year celebrations.
If they did not expose it in the village, the Guan family would probably not know about it either.
When the wild beasts on the mountain rushed into the village, such a huge accident had happened. It concerned the lives of many villagers. With the matter at hand, they no longer hid this secret.
Now, the wild beasts had just been forced back, but they did not know if other wild beasts would come down the mountain again. They did not know if there was any danger.
Guan Chibei was the first person to defend against wild beasts. The Guan family's house was also the safest place since they had built a wall.
If she had to rely on someone, it would naturally be the safest for her to rely on the Guan family.
All the men from the Liu family were here, so they needed to be safe. Furthermore, the Liu family had a group of women and children. The entire family had to survive.
Therefore, they had always thought that Guan Chibei was their brother-in-law and had something to do with their family. Now, danger was imminent.
The Liu family naturally could not keep this a secret anymore. Instead, they had to use the relationship between Guan Chibei and Liu Ya to reveal their status to the Guan family so that they could hide in the Guan family for the time being and obtain safety!
The oldest brother of the Liu family also walked over. He straightened his back and looked at Guan Chibei with approval and admiration. He was acknowledging his youngest brother-in-law.
Under the gazes of all the villagers, he said to Guan Chibei, "Brother-in-law, what should we do now? My younger sister is frightened. She must go to your Guan family and stay there so that she can be at ease. Then, all the men in our Liu family will follow you and do whatever you are doing. Our Liu family will definitely support you."
All the villagers were speechless.
Guan Chibei turned around and looked at Eldest Brother Liu. A light flashed past his dark eyes.
All the men from the Liu family came over to Guan Chibei.
When the villagers saw this scene, they were a little puzzled.
Guan Chibei did not react to Eldest Brother Liu's words.
Eldest Brother Liu swept his gaze at Liu Ya, who was lying on the ground and trembling. He knew that Liu Ya was the apple of Guan Chibei's eye. He then said to Guan Chibei,
"Chibei, Liu Ya must have suffered a huge shock and is very afraid. You're definitely the person she can rely on the most. Why don't you carry her and settle Liu Ya down first?"
They could talk about the other Liu family members later.
Liu Ya lay on the ground with her eyes flickering. She looked at Guan Chibei and gritted her teeth.
It was indeed a good time now. The Liu family did not know the truth of the matter and had always thought that Sixth Brother Guan would be together with her for the rest of their lives. Now that this special moment had been exposed…
Alright, it was chaotic and dangerous at the moment. Who knew?! Perhaps it was a good time to gamble on Sixth Brother Guan's reaction.
If he was interested in her, then this was a special moment and there was a reason. Sixth Brother Guan might just agree to it.
Liu Ya made up her mind and let Eldest Brother Liu find out about this 'relationship.' She did not say anything and just lay weakly under Guan Chibei.
The villagers were all stunned and craned their necks. What?!
Was the Guan family's sixth son related to the youngest daughter of the Liu family?
The Liu family's brother-in-law… was the Guan family's sixth son?!
The men from the Liu family looked at Guan Chibei as if they were family.
Guan Chibei quickly understood what was going on.
His eyes flickered, but his expression did not change. He bent down and grabbed Liu Ya's shoulder.
Liu Ya's seemingly weak face lit up!
The men from the Liu family looked as if this was what he should do.
At the next moment, Guan Chibei picked up Liu Ya and threw her to a man who had just run past!
Everyone focused their eyes and saw that the man who happened to pass by was Li Liujiao from the village!
"Guan Chibei, what do you mean by this?!"
The men from the Liu family had not understood the situation and asked Guan Chibei in surprise and confusion.
Why did he throw their sister out?!
Liu Ya was thrown onto Li Liujiao's body. She lost her balance. Liu Ya was so shocked that she instinctively cried out. Her entire body even accurately landed in Li Liujiao's arms.
Her skin was tightly pressed against Li Liujiao's body.
All the villagers saw it with their own eyes.
Guan Chibei stood still and said in a calm and cold voice, "Don't call me names. What brother-in-law? When did I have anything to do with your Liu family? Have you forgotten that the person who has feelings for your Liu Ya in private is Sixth Uncle Li from the village?! He's also this person, Li Liujiao! Who do you think you are? Why are you in front of me?"
When Liu Ya was thrown out, Li Liujiao was a strong man, after all. His reaction and strength were on point. He instinctively reached out to catch Liu Ya so that she would not fall to the ground.
Therefore, before Li Liujiao could react, he had already hugged Liu Ya tightly. Her soft body was in his arms, and Li Liujiao did not know anything. He even looked up in confusion.
Liu Ya and the rest returned to their senses and realized what was going on.
She was filled with hatred!
It was as if her entire body was soaked in poison!
Her entire body trembled violently in Li Liujiao's arms because she hated and resented him too much.
Sixth Brother Guan! Sixth Brother Guan actually! He actually…
The men from the Liu family were stunned. Then, they frowned again and stepped forward to condemn Guan Chibei. "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?!"
"Liu Ya belongs to you. How can you throw her onto another man?"
"Guan Chibei, are you trying to deny it? How can you treat Liu Ya like this?!"
"Brother-in-law, are you mistaken? Or are you used to the posture of defending against the wild beasts, so you're doing this to Liu Ya? Hurry up and bring Liu Ya back…"
The men from the Liu family still did not know the truth of the matter. They were still full of questions. After blaming Guan Chibei, they turned around and looked at Liu Ya.
They were waiting to see how Liu Ya would get an explanation from Guan Chibei.
If a woman was cheated or accidentally bullied, she would definitely ask her lover for a reason. She would act coquettishly, throw a tantrum, curse, or cry. Girls always knew what to do.
It was unknown if Guan Chibei had unintentionally made a mistake or if he really had a change of heart, but no matter what, he could not deny that Liu Ya had previously had an affair with him. Liu Ya definitely had her ways to resolve the matter between the two of them.
