Panicking, the woman hurriedly followed what he had told her to do .
She ran to the children’s room in her unkempt hair, picking up Youyou in one arm and Doudou in the other . She then woke Lingling up to escape through the back door with the three kids .
There was a hidden lane up the hills from the staircase behind the Zhao’s house .
The night was dark with the breeze beating fiercely right at that time . The ferocious wind whipped their faces painfully!
Li Ru kept running blindly without checking the distance . As a woman who had grown up in a farm since young, her stamina was outstanding!

As the two boys were scrawny, they did not laden her arms with much weight .
However, as the girl was still young, she started to stumble and fall after running after her mother for a few miles on the mountainous road .
“Ah ma… ah ma, what happened? What’s happening?” As she hurried behind her mother, she asked this frantically . Even though her legs were starting to cramp from running, she dared not tarry .
Youyou was silent all the way, lying on the woman’s shoulder . From time to time, he would look in the direction of the Zhao’s house . Premonition arose in his heart all of a sudden .
Had Mu Lianjue’s hitmen caught up with him first?!
His heart was faintly disturbed . Clenching his pair of small hands tightly into fists, wet perspiration covered his palms .

The woman brought them to hide at an abandoned temple . It was eerily cold and rundown, having been deserted for a long time without stewardship . Sometimes, the children might come over here to play occasionally, but otherwise, it was desolate .
She took the children to a little room, placed the two down from her arms, and locked the door from inside . After which, she carefully studied the surroundings through the rickety window intermittently .
Youyou examined the exterior inside the place; he could see the thick layer of dust dancing in the air under the pristine moonlight .
Cobwebs had gathered in the four corners of the room due to neglect . A table, broken on one leg, laid carelessly at one side .
A musky smell greeted their noses .

The place was cold and damp . Lingling was frozen as she stood barefoot . She walked to her mother and tugged lightly at her sleeve, speaking through chattering teeth . “Ah ma, this place is dark; I’m scared…”
“Shhh! Don’t make a sound!” She told her off sternly and then took an alert peek outside .
The boy lay shriveled in one corner, his mind churning fast and furious .
He did not know what had happened exactly . However, he remembered vaguely that he had heard a loud kick on the door and a gunshot in his half-asleep state!
After that, the woman had entered their room with unkempt hair and hurriedly escaped with him and Doudou in her arms through the back door without a second word .
He knew that something big had happened!
Sipping his lips, he glanced up at the woman to see terror written all over her face . She was heaving heavily from panic still .
He walked over and placed his little hand gently on her shoulder . This little action gave her great comfort and calmed her down somewhat .
“Auntie, what happened exactly?”
She looked past her shoulder; her fearful eyes glued on him .
