Chapter 285: For the first time, she felt like she had family again
Little Dumpling understood that if he turned around and ran at this moment, his aunt probably would not catch up with him.
However, she could also see that if she ran away, her aunt's life would be completely ruined, and the last light in her aunt's eyes would be extinguished.
Although she knew that even if her aunt was not a bad person, she was at least an accomplice of the bad people, at this moment, she did not want to give up this poor aunt.
Her aunt chose to believe her, and she wanted to repay her aunt's trust.
"Aunt, please go quickly. I will watch over him and won't run around." Little Dumpling promised in a baby voice.
"Okay!" Huaer looked at Xiaotuanzi deeply. She wanted to smile, but she found that she couldn't smile. It seemed that she had forgotten how to smile at someone from the bottom of her heart.
She could only pull the corners of her mouth awkwardly, "I'll clean it up right away."
She turned around and immediately went to pack her things.
Little Dumpling stood at the door, stretching his neck to look down the mountain, secretly praying in his heart that the man and Sakurako would not come back so soon. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder where Huo Linger had run to.
Suddenly, she heard a strange noise and immediately looked down the mountain vigilantly.
"Li Suining!"
A familiar voice rang out, startling the little girl. She immediately turned around and saw that Huo Linger had returned.
"Why are you back?" Little Dumpling was terrified. She glanced towards the house and saw that her aunt hadn't come out yet. She immediately pushed Huo Ling'er and said, "Run! Didn't I tell you to run?"
Huo Linger was unrecognizable at this time, with scratches all over her face, and blood was still oozing out of the cuts.
She grabbed the little dumpling's hand and said, "Let's run together. I can't leave you behind."
The more she ran, the more she felt something was wrong. She was clearly the Huo Linger, so how could she let Xiaotuanzi stay behind in her place?
If only one person can escape, that person should be Li Suining.
"Let's go together." Huo Linger was actually very happy. She was particularly afraid that after she ran back, she would find that Li Suining was dead. Fortunately, Li Suining was fine and no one was watching Li Suining.
"No!" Little Dumpling immediately shook her head. She couldn't run away. Otherwise, Huaer would come out and see that she was gone. She would definitely look for them frantically. "Miss, listen to me. Run first. If you are saved, I will be saved too. That auntie won't hurt me."
"No, I don't want to." Huo Linger shook her head frantically. She really couldn't make the decision to leave Li Suining behind again.
She wiped her tears and the blood off her face, and looked at Li Suining firmly. "Since you think that aunt is safe, then let's go together. Life or death, we are together. I can't leave you behind."
"..." Little Dumpling's nose felt sore, and he pursed his lips, looking like he was about to drop pearls.
After all, she was just a little kid, how could she really want to be left alone to face those bad guys?
It's just that she has experienced more and understands more things, so she suppressed her fear and let Huo Linger go. Now that Huo Linger is willing to stay, she is really touched.
She hugged Huo Ling'er and said, "Okay, Miss, we won't run away. We will stay and go with that aunt. We can convince her to send us back."
"Yeah, yeah." Huo Linger nodded repeatedly, unable to stop crying.
For the first time since her father left for such a long time, she felt that she was no longer alone, and that she... seemed to have relatives again.
In the house, Huaer packed up her things and ran out with her bag. The first thing she saw was Tuanzi.
She was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly ran to the door and saw the two little kids hugging each other and crying. Unexpectedly, the kid who ran away came back.
She didn't know why, but looking at the scene in front of her, her nose felt a little sore.
"Alright, alright, stop crying." Hua'er quickly pulled the two little guys apart. "Run quickly. If they can't catch us, they might come back."
She is a woman with two children, so she definitely can't run fast.
The man and Sakurako went after her. If they couldn't catch her even after running a long way, they might come back to look for her.
They need to get out of here quickly.
"Yeah!" The two dumplings nodded at the same time, looking at the flowers eagerly.
Hua'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly she felt like a painless mother. She didn't know why, but what she was doing now had an uncertain future, and if she was caught by the man and Yingzi, she would definitely die, but she now had a feeling of not wanting to turn back.
She hung the bag on her arm and then squatted down. "You two, I'll carry one on my back or hold one in my arms. Come on, come up!"
Xiaotuanzi and Huo Linger were obviously surprised and a little embarrassed.
"We can run away by ourselves." Huo Linger said awkwardly.
"What? You want to ruin your little face?" Hua'er said viciously, "Come up quickly, don't make me curse!"
Li Suining quickly pushed Huo Linger and nodded at her, "This way, we can run faster."
"Okay!" Although Huo Linger was still reluctant, after going through so much, she knew that now was not the time to lose her temper. She no longer had any princess privileges, so she had to lie obediently on the woman's back.
Huaer picked up the little ball without saying a word and hesitated which direction to run. In short, the way down the mountain was definitely not possible.
Unexpectedly, the two little dumplings spoke at the same time.
The little girl was shouting to the right, and the one behind her was shouting to the left.
Huo Linger looked at Li Suining in confusion. Didn’t Li Suining say that the soldiers were at the foot of the mountain on the left?
Xiaotuanzi shook his head at Huo Linger. If the woman led them to encounter soldiers, she would surely die.
She said in a baby voice, "Auntie, let's run to the right."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Hua'er obviously leaned more towards Xiaotuanzi in her heart, and immediately ran to the right without hesitation.
She was taller and stronger than the average woman, and she was able to move quite fast while holding two children. Moreover, the two children were in a relatively high position and would not be scratched by grass or trees.
An adult and two children kept running to the right, not daring to stop for even a moment.
At the same time, the man and Sakurako finally realized that something was wrong, but when they returned, they found that the yard was completely empty, and even the banknotes hidden in the house were gone.
"Damn woman!" The man was really furious and kicked the wardrobe. "Don't let me catch her, otherwise, I will make her regret betraying me."
Yingzi hated Huaer even more. This time, not only could she not get the silver, she couldn't even go back to the palace. Otherwise, if Huo Linger was rescued, she would definitely be the first one to kill her after returning to the palace.
Fortunately, all her money was kept outside the palace.
However, getting the silver wasn't the most important thing at the moment. She struggled for a moment, then grabbed the man's arm and said, "Brother, Sister Hua'er is gone, and I can't go back. Can I follow you?"
The man hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded. "Alright! Catch and kill Hua and the two kids, and we'll share the money and live happily ever after."
