Nightfall descended, and an unexpected visitor arrived, knocking on the courtyard gate. Although the day was clear and sunny, the evening wind heralded a sudden storm.
The sound of rain masked the sounds of horseshoes. Each household was already asleep when suddenly, the two hunting dogs in the courtyard began to bark furiously, sensing that the visitor meant no good.
Village Girl Yang got up, put on her clothes, and led the two hunting dogs to open the door.
As she opened the door, she was startled by the scene before her.
In the dark of night, amidst the wind and rain, and the flashes and roars of thunder, ten burly men wielding large swords stood at the door, their eyes like wolves from the deep mountains.
Village Girl Yang took a step back, her eyes filled with terror. Her hands loosened, and sensing their master's unease, the hunting dogs charged at the visitors.
They barked fiercely and rushed toward the burly men... Blood splattered in a flash of lightning!
