Seeing a thick plume of smoke rising from the direction of the Nanxin Protestant Village, Winters immediately rushed over with two borrowed fire guns.

Winters's heart tightened: Had someone already fallen victim?

He rode his horse closer to the yard with quick steps, and the villagers around moved aside. Winters asked the village head straight away, "Are there any casualties? Where is that thing? Which way did it run?"
