Chapter 14 The Crucial Five Minutes
Yangyang's brain was blank, but his body moved ahead of his consciousness. The moment Shen Yijin opened his mouth, he lowered his body and quickly ran towards the living room.
When everyone ran to the living room, Yangyang finally realized what was happening and started to feel scared.
The boning knife was just hanging above his head. If he had been a step slower, he would have crashed into the blade and lost his life.
This is too extreme!
With this experience, Yangyang became more cautious when facing bandits.
Fortunately, he was quite agile and could move freely under the tables and chairs. The gangsters chased him for a long time with a knife but failed to cause any substantial harm to him.
After running around the rooms a few times to chase the bandits, Yangyang became more and more adept and was not as nervous as he was at the beginning.
But children’s physical strength has its limits. Even Yangyang, who has a good physique, cannot withstand the continuous intense exercise.
His steps gradually slowed down, and the boning knife scraped across his skin, leaving a faint trace of blood.
If you keep running like this, you'll be caught sooner or later.
Shen Yijin changed her strategy in time: "There is an emergency escape passage behind the washing machine on the balcony. Yangyang, you first slip him to lie on his side, then quietly crawl under the bed to the balcony, hide in the escape passage and wait for rescue."
Yangyang glanced at the bandit who was chasing him closely, then quickened his pace, lay on his side, and hid under the bed.
The bandit chased to the side and did not rush inside, but stood at the door.
"Hahaha, little boy, you wanted to wait for me to find you inside before going back to the living room, right? You didn't expect that I wouldn't be fooled this time! My patience is limited, little thing. If you come out obediently now, I can still leave you a whole body." The bandit was not a fool. He was fooled twice in a row, and this time he would never let Yang Yang take advantage of him again.
He just stood guard at the door, wanting to see how long the little devil could hide under the bed.
Yangyang remained silent. He slowly moved towards the balcony, while observing the criminals.
After making sure that the criminals didn't notice his little move, Yangyang took advantage of the cardboard box under the bed and the curtains to quietly go to the balcony.
Looking at the washing machine that was pressed tightly against the wall, Yangyang almost cried.
He took off one of his earphones, put it to his lips and whispered, "Sister, the washing machine is blocking the escape route and I can't move it. What should I do?"
The connected mobile phone was still on the desk in the bedroom. The balcony was a visual blind spot, and Shen Yijin could not see Yangyang's current situation through the video.
She calculated that letting Yangyang hide in the escape passage on the balcony was a glimmer of hope.
Now when Shen Yijin heard Yang Yang say that he couldn't enter the escape passage, he also had a headache.
She looked at the construction drawings of Yangyang's residential complex that Meng Ping had sent her, and gritted her teeth as she instructed, "Your balcony is very close to the balcony next door. Be careful to climb over to the balcony next door and hide in the fire escape passage of your neighbor's house."
The escape passage next door was not completely blocked, so with Yangyang's size, he could get in without any problem.
Yangyang looked at the distance of about 50 centimeters between the two balconies and swallowed unconsciously.
His house is on the eleventh floor. If he stumbles and falls...
Yangyang didn't dare to think too much. He held on to the guardrail next door and tried hard to get to the balcony opposite.
Perhaps it was the instinct for survival that drove Yangyang to take steady steps. Without any accidents, he arrived safely at the balcony next door and entered the emergency escape passage.
At this time, the bandit also realized something was wrong. He lowered his head to check under the bed and found that Yangyang was not hiding there at all.
"Oops, I've been fooled again!" The gangster cursed inwardly and quickly ran to the balcony to arrest the man.
In the end, he arrived a step too late and there was no one on the balcony.
The bandits couldn't understand how Yang Yang could be so smart.
If a four or five-year-old child encounters something like this, shouldn't he be so scared that he hugs himself and cries, unable to resist at all?
Now that the child was missing, the bandit's ominous premonition grew stronger.
No, we have to find the child quickly and can’t let him go out to call the police!
The criminals were panicked, but they did not lose their minds.
He quickly ran to the bedroom, pulled Yangyang's mother up, put the bone-cutting knife on her neck, and dragged her to the balcony.
As he walked, he threatened in a low voice: "Little ghost, your mother is in my hands. If you don't want her to get into trouble, then come back obediently and don't think about running out to find help. Otherwise, I promise that you will never see your mother again!"
When Yangyang heard the bandit's threat, he almost ran out to beg him to let his mother go.
It was only after Chen Yijin reminded him not to go out that he stayed in the escape passage without moving.
"Mom is in danger, sister, please think of a way and help me save her!" Yangyang cried anxiously. His mother was his only relative and he couldn't lose her.
Chen Yijin comforted him softly, "Yangyang, don't listen to him. If you really go out, he won't let you go. You have to hide here and not let him find you so quickly, so that you can give your mother a chance to survive."
Yangyang finally held back. He didn't go out, but walked back to the door of the escape passage, lying on the door and listening to the sounds outside.
The bandit shouted for a long time but Yang Yang didn't come out, and his patience ran out.
The knife was in his hand, and he was ready to take real action.
"Okay, little boy, you don't want your mother anymore, right? I'll grant your wish!" The gangster said while gritting his teeth, and then he slashed the knife in his hand towards Yangyang's mother's neck.
Yangyang could sense something was wrong and couldn't bear it any longer. He rushed out and yelled, "No, let my mother go!"
"I thought so. She ran to the other side." The gangster paused, smiled evilly and waved at Yang Yang, "Come here and I'll let her go."
Yang Yang looked at his mother who showed no signs of waking up, and finally made up his mind: "Don't hurt my mother, I'll go back now."
Hearing this, the gangster laughed triumphantly, but the netizens in the live broadcast room were so nervous that they dared not breathe.
[No way, Yangyang really wants to go back, isn't this just walking into a trap? 】
[No, it’s been so long, why haven’t the police come yet? Don’t let me down at the critical moment! 】
[Wow, Yangyang must love his mother very much and be willing to risk his life to go back. Can’t Yangyang, who is so kind, give the mother and son a happy ending...?】
Shen Yijin remained silent. Yangyang was a very brave child. He had done his best to delay for so long.
Yangyang's original ending was to die while saving his mother. Now, everything seems to have returned to its original track.
It's just five minutes. If they delay for another five minutes, Yangyang and his mother will be rescued by the police.
Yang Yang was completely unaware of the netizens’ concerns. As soon as he returned to his balcony, he was lifted into the air by the criminals like a chicken.
"Hahaha, kid, you're finally in my hands. So, have you thought about how you want to die?" The bandit asked this, but he didn't intend to let Yang Yang choose how he wanted to die.
He carried Yangyang to the balcony and said, "If you like climbing balconies, it's normal for you to fall down. Falling to death, do you like this way of dying, kid?"
Yangyang was shaking like a sieve, his eyes were tightly closed, and he couldn't utter a word.
"Goodbye, little guy." The next second, the gangster let go of Yangyang's collar.
