Old Zhou choked up and couldn't utter a single word.

"Honey, let's go. Whether they survive or not depends on themselves," Zhao Guihua said, covering her mouth and her voice trembling with tears.

Seeing that three men in black were chasing after them, Boss Zhou gritted his teeth, steeled himself, and quickly fled with his whip.

Xingxing buried her face in Zhao Guihua's arms, tears quickly soaking her clothes. She was worried about Tangguo, Jingjing, and Xiaoxiao, and didn't want anything to happen to them, but now there was nothing she could do.

The men in black were very skilled in agility, and even Zhou Laoda, driving the carriage, couldn't evade their pursuit. Just a few steps away, the men in black's broadsword was about to strike.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." A sudden gust of wind blew up, uprooting a dead tree. Then, as if someone had lifted the dead tree, it was swept straight towards the three men in black.

Despite being a weightless piece of dead wood, the strong winds swept through the three men in black, causing them to cough up blood and crack their whips on the spot.

After fleeing for most of the night, Zhou Laoda and his men still dared not stop and continued to run forward desperately until noon the next day when the horses were tired and could no longer run.

The two drivers, Zhou Laoda and his son Zhou Dafu, were so exhausted that they collapsed on the ground, unable to get up. The people inside the carriage were so shaken that their faces turned pale and their internal organs almost shifted.

It took everyone more than half an hour to catch their breath. Zhou Erfu and Zhou Sifu, being the two boys with the best physiques, were the first to stand up. Then they gathered some firewood nearby and prepared to cook a meal.

"Why bother cooking? Just drink some honey water, mix some honey on the fried rice, and make do with this. What if we attract the men in black?" Zhao Guihua hurriedly stopped her.

Zhou Erfu paused, holding the tinderbox, then tossed the firewood aside and said in a muffled voice, "Then let's leave it there and talk about it tonight."

"What do you mean, 'wait until tonight'? Once you've recovered, keep running! The men in black might catch up soon enough," Zhao Guihua said irritably.

"We'll have to wait a bit; Candy, Jingjing, and Xiaoxiao haven't caught up yet," Zhou Laoda said in a low voice.

"Don't say I'm heartless. The three of them might already be in trouble. Let's focus on saving our own lives. Don't wait any longer. If we wait, we might lose our lives too, and then their sacrifices would have been in vain," Zhao Guihua said, her eyes red as she turned her face away.

"Let's run, let's run quickly. We'll come back to find them when it's safe. Even if we die, we must find their bodies and give them a proper burial. Of course, there's also a possibility that they're still alive." Zhou Sanfu spoke calmly and expressionlessly.

Xingxing kept a straight face and didn't say a word. Her mind was in a mess. She couldn't see any clues and couldn't think of a solution. She didn't know whether Candy and the other two were alive or dead.
