Just as the man's head appeared at the entrance of the cellar, Li Yu pulled the trigger of the crossbow. The arrow tore through the air and the man fell.
Li Yu caught him and placed him on the ground. She jumped into the cellar and saw that the room on the left was brightly lit. Those men were laughing loudly inside. She bent down and followed the wall to the entrance of the courtyard. She gently took off the door chain and followed the wall back to the corridor of the right ear room. She followed the corridor and entered the inner courtyard like a ghost.
The courtyard was dimly lit. Two lamps were placed under the eaves at both ends of the veranda. It was quiet. No one should be living in the inner courtyard.
