Seeing Su Wei fleeing, Chen Baozhu's expression became even more excited, raising her bow and taking aim, just like a real hunter chasing after a stubborn prey. The roles between them had actually been swapped long ago.
It started with Chen Baozhu secretly killing the first villain.
"Whoosh——" A arrow shot onto the stairs beside Su Wei's body, Su Wei was still very agile and strong, probably also being provoked, directly drew out a dagger from his waist and threw it out. Chen Baozhu's movements were actually ordinary, hastily dodging and hiding, almost got hit by the dagger.
When she picked up the bow and stood up again, Su Wei had already run downstairs. All the previous xiànjīn, gold bars, and treasures were packed into a bag. Su Wei shouldered the bag, pulled Feng Yan and said: "Follow me!" Feng Yan stumbled after him to run out of the door. The remaining bandit looked at the people in the house with hatred and fear, and followed closely behind.
"Do you think you can run away?" Chen Baozhu shouted, running downstairs.
With a "bang", the door of the living room was heavily slammed shut by the scoundrel, followed by the sound of the lock falling into place. My heart sank suddenly: Oh no!
Wu Yu Zheng struggled to get up from the ground, but no one in the Chen family came to help him. They all seemed stunned and fearful. I couldn't care about anything else anymore, opened the attic door and rushed down.
Chen Baozhu was about to rush out of the gate, pretending not to see her family members in the hall, when a shrill and hoarse voice suddenly shouted: "You stand still for me!"
I was startled on the stairs, and everyone else was stunned too.
It was the old lady Chen who had been lying on the ground in a coma after a stroke, opened her eyes. Her eye sockets were red, and her eyes were clear, without any sign of illness. She supported herself with her hands on the ground and slowly got up.
Tang Leng originally stood beside her, staring at her with wide eyes, motionless.
Professor Chen suddenly seemed to come back to life, crying "Ma...ma...", and crawled over to help her up.
Chen Baozhu's frail figure stood in the hall, holding a bow and arrow. She slowly turned around, her face almost bursting with joyful surprise: "Mom... you're awake..."
But now, her every word and action makes me feel a chill in my heart.
I finally went downstairs, and the Chen family saw me, but they didn't react. I ran to Wu Yu's side, took a closer look, and my heart ached even more. His eyes were full of blood, and he was struggling to keep them open. The whole person looked like a corpse wearing tattered clothes. I hugged him and cried out: "Yu...!"
He also hugged me, his arms were clearly weak, and he said in a very hoarse voice: "We... are together again."
One sentence almost made me fall into tears again, desperately holding back, now is not the time to cry. But I still couldn't help but lean my face against his, his face was extremely cold, and blood immediately stained my face. But all I wanted was to be closer to him, closer.
"Go?" I asked.
He said: "Right away."
I supported him to lean against the edge of the sofa, and I ran to the living room door first. As expected, it was locked from the outside and couldn't be pushed open. I thought of that big fire, and I also smelled a strong gasoline smell outside. Su and Wai must have been well-prepared in advance, saying that it's possible that gasoline had been sprinkled all over the place outside the house, just waiting for a lighter to fall. Maybe the lighter had already fallen, but the fire hadn't reached us yet.
My heart sank more and more, I immediately ran back to Wu Yu's side, helped him up, and said to the Chen family: "We have to get out of here right away, they've set fire..."
But before I could finish, Old Lady Chen's face turned pale and she burst out in a loud voice: "Baozhu, it's you! It's actually you! I thought it was that cheap thing Feng Yan, but it's actually you! My own daughter! Do you want to kill us? The person who came was brought by you, you had planned this long ago! Have you really gone mad? That person was right, you're crazy!"
