Chapter 395: A Gunshot (1)

"Rou Rou - Rou Rou - it's mom -"

Mother……

That's my mother's voice...

Tan Rourou seemed to hear Fang Xiuli's voice in her daze, but she didn't dare to believe it all at once. She was afraid that it was an illusion in the extreme space, or that it was another trick of Principal Feng.

However, the sounds outside the cave became clearer and closer.

"Rou Rou-Rou Rou-Rou Rou, where are you? Mommy is here to look for you... Hurry up and speak... Hurry up and come out...Rou Rou, where are you?"

It’s mom!

It’s really mom!

Tan Rourou confirmed Fang Xiuli's voice, and as if she saw a spark of hope, she struggled to get out of the cave.

She ignored the pain, pushed away the branches that Lu Yuanbao had piled in front of the cave, and tried to move forward.

Since I couldn't stand up, I could only crawl out.

"Mother……"

In the darkness, the little girl's voice was not that clear, not to mention that Tan Rourou was so frightened that her limbs were powerless. What she thought was a scream was actually just a timid and helpless cry.

But fortunately Chu Yue was there.

Chu Yue's entire mind was focused on the movements around her. She wished she could turn her thoughts into spiritual tentacles that could be deeply embedded in every inch of this forest and not miss a single move.

She vaguely heard a voice that did not belong to her or Fang Xiuli.

Overnight.

Chu Yue grabbed Fang Xiuli's arm tightly, and the uncontrolled force instantly hurt Fang Xiuli.

From this slight loss of control, we can see that Chu Yueyuan was not as calm as she appeared to be, and she was also nervous and panicked in her heart.

Fang Xiuli had been with Chu Yue for a long time and gradually became familiar with Chu Yue's working style. Just one action of Chu Yue and her quickly said "wait" made her stop and stop shouting instantly.

Quiet, must remain quiet.

The night wind was just like any other day, blowing through the treetops, causing the leaves to sway and rustle.

In such a dark environment, any sound becomes eerie and terrifying.

And such a young child was lost in such a forest, so isolated and helpless.

Just thinking about it, Fang Xiuli felt such pain in her heart that she couldn't breathe, and her whole body was shaking with tension.

At this moment...

"Mother……"

Fang Xiuli was shocked and quickly turned her head to look at Chu Yue, and said excitedly, "Chu Yue, I seemed to hear Rourou's voice... I heard her calling for her mother! I heard it!"

Not only Fang Xiuli heard it, Chu Yue also heard it.

The reason she stayed quiet was to figure out where the sound came from.

"It's this direction, follow me."

Chu Yue took the lead with a flashlight in her hand, and walked in front. The dim light of the flashlight illuminated the rugged mountain road. Fang Xiuli didn't even dare to breathe too loudly and followed closely.

“Mom…Mom…”

As the two of them hurried forward, Tan Rourou's voice became clearer and clearer.

They saw a small figure lying on the ground in front of a black hole not far away, crawling out little by little.

"Rou Rou!"

At this moment, Fang Xiuli walked very quickly, and passed Chu Yue in one step. She didn't care that there were small protruding stones and branches all around her, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

With trembling hands, she pushed away the branches that were wrapped around Tan Rourou and hugged the little child tightly.

"Rou Rou, mom is here! Mom is here! Mom finally found you! Rou Rou!"

“Mom…Mom…Mom…Wow wow wow…”

When Tan Rourou was hugged, she kept calling for her mother. It took her a while for her to realize that she had really seen her mother.

As the warm embrace became more and more real, as I listened to the familiar voice and felt the familiar touch, I slowly began to cry.

She cried so sadly and heartbrokenly, wishing she could turn all the tension and fear she had experienced in just one hour into tears.

But tears could only vent her emotions, they could not erase what had happened.

Chu Yue squatted down, pressed the beautiful shoulder below, and reminded, "Let me see the child first."

Fang Xiuli maintained her remaining sanity, loosened her grip slightly, and allowed Chu Yue to give Tan Rourou a preliminary examination.

Tan Rourou was dirty and messy, from her beautiful pigtails to her pretty skirt, everything was a mess. There were also some scratches on her body, but generally not serious. The worst thing was the sprain on her right leg.

Tan Rourou saw Chu Yue through tears and suddenly remembered something.

She struggled to break free from Fang Xiuli's arms and quickly grabbed Chu Yue's hand, "Aunt Chu, Yuanbao... it was Yuanbao who saved me... Principal Feng, the bad guy... he is a bad guy... that direction... you quickly go save Yuanbao... they went in that direction..."

Tan Rourou tried hard to identify the surroundings and clearly pointed out the direction in which Lu Yuanbao and Principal Feng left.

She knew that it was Lu Yuanbao who risked his life to save her.

Tan Rourou tightly grasped Chu Yue's hand, trembling and sobbing, "Go and save Yuan Bao!"

The wet eyes were filled with pleading.

When Chu Yue heard what Tan Rourou said, her heart suddenly contracted.

She told Fang Xiuli, "Rou Rou's right foot is sprained. You stay here with the child while I go find Yuan Bao."

"Chu Yue——"

Fang Xiuli was worried and wanted to hold Chu Yue back. Maybe they should wait for Lu Zhanlin, as Lu Zhanlin would be back soon.

But what she saw was Chu Yue's resolute and fast walking away.

She couldn't stop Chu Yue, nor could she stop a mother's desire to save her child.

Principal Feng?

How could it be Principal Feng?

The truth behind the murderer is unbelievable.

But when they think about it carefully, when they came to the school to look for the child just now, the teacher showed up, but Principal Feng, who cares most about the school, did not show up. Now it seems suspicious.

After Chu Yue left, the only light in the forest disappeared.

Fang Xiuli hugged Tan Rourou tightly as if she had survived a disaster. This was her lost treasure that she had finally found.

Tan Rourou huddled in Fang Xiuli's arms and asked timidly, "Mom, will Yuanbao... be in trouble?"

"Nothing will happen! Nothing will happen to Lu Yuanbao! They will all come back safely!"

Fang Xiuli hugged the child tightly and prayed for Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao.

After a while, the sound of rapid footsteps and the swaying light of a fire approaching were heard in the forest.

Fang Xiuli recognized the voice of Tan Siqi in it.

She shouted quickly, "Siqi - I'm here! Rourou, don't be afraid, it's Daddy!"

Just now, when Lu Zhanlin returned to the army to organize soldiers, he happened to meet Tan Siqi.

Tan Siqi had returned to the compound earlier and had heard that the two children were missing. He had the same idea as Lu Zhanlin, to mobilize more people to search for them immediately.

Golden time is so limited, we must seize every minute and every second.

So the two men just happened to meet and act together.
