Qi Qingyao had always been a light sleeper, so she woke up immediately. She glanced at the man at the window under the faint moonlight and then sat up, listening carefully for two seconds. After that, she jumped off the bed, waking Erniu up in the process.
Qi Qingyao said softly, "Don't make a sound."
Erniu, "???"
Hmm?
Qi Qingyao quickly put on her clothes and grabbed an axe from a corner of the house. By then, someone had already sawed through the door handle with a knife. Qi Qingyao stood behind the door carefully without saying a word.
Finally, the door was forced open.
When the two men in black rushed into the hut stealthily, Qi Qingyao raised her axe and brought it down above one of their necks.
The cold northern gale blew into the house, clearing Qi Qingyao's mind even further. She said snidely,
"Cursed thieves, how dare you sneak into my house in the middle of the night! Are you tired of living?"
