Chapter 1022 Is this really delicious?
Even after the two children were taken away, the adults inside the house remained vigilant.
The banging outside the door didn't stop; each thud struck everyone's heart, keeping them on edge and barely daring to breathe.
Upon learning of the mutated plants outside the door, Zheng Yiqian immediately dialed the official emergency call number.
She whispered the address, and after hearing the other end say they would arrive as soon as possible, she held her phone tightly, not daring to move.
After about two or three minutes, the banging sounds outside the door gradually subsided and eventually disappeared.
The people in the hall stared wide-eyed at each other in disbelief.
"They...they left?"
Mr. Zheng picked up the kitchen knife that Mrs. Zheng had just brought from the kitchen and said with a serious face, "I'll go take a look."
Seeing his posture, the others fell silent and watched him move step by step to the door. Before they could even look through the peephole, they heard a scream come from Sister-in-law Zheng's house.
The people in the hall were all startled. After they came to their senses, they forgot about the mutated plants outside and the whole family rushed towards the room.
As soon as I pushed open the door, I was horrified by what I saw inside.
Two vines, as thick as an adult's arm, stretched into the room from the window. One wrapped around Sister-in-law Zheng's waist and dragged her out, while the other lashed out at the two children.
"Watch out!" The color drained from Brother Zheng's face. He instinctively tried to rush over to save his wife and children, but it was too late.
The menacing vines lashed out at the two children, and just when everyone thought they were in grave danger, the amulet around the little girl's neck suddenly lit up, acting like a small protective shield that enveloped the two children and blocked the vines from falling.
Moreover, after the vines touched the cover, a burst of fire suddenly erupted.
The bright flames, like a rope, shot up to the vines and enveloped them, burning fiercely without harming the people or other things inside the house.
Although this mutated vine had developed self-awareness, it clearly lacked defensive capabilities. Once it was set ablaze, it was completely powerless to fight back, struggling and twisting for a while before being burned to ashes.
The Zheng family was stunned by what they saw. Realizing what had happened, the little boy looked down at the card in his hand, then at his mother not far away. He bravely took a step forward, raising his hand and shouting, "Monster, let go of my mother!"
Zheng Yiqian and her younger brother, still standing dumbfounded at the door: "..."
Sister-in-law Zheng, who was still being held in mid-air by the mutated vines: "..." Baby, did you switch channels with the Calabash Brothers?
The little guy was short, and after rushing over, he jumped up with all his might, and the amulet in his palm landed right on the vine wrapped around his mother's belly.
In an instant, the flames reignited, and the vines caught fire once more. Sister-in-law Zheng was able to fall from mid-air and land on the floor with a thud.
The Zheng family members then seemed to snap out of their daze. The eldest brother rushed forward to check on his wife, while the adults quickly picked up the children to make sure they were not injured.
Mr. Zheng immediately rushed to the window, peeked outside, and after confirming that there were no other mutated plants, quickly closed and locked the window.
"How are you? Are you hurt?"
With her husband's help, Sister-in-law Zheng stood up, rubbed her sore arm, and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine. Where's the child?"
“They’re alright.” Zheng’s mother and Zheng Yiqian each carried a child to Zheng’s sister-in-law’s side. The two children were indeed frightened at first, but they were very excited now.
"Mother!"
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. We were really scared just now."
"You really scared us. Thank goodness..." Mrs. Zheng paused, her eyes widening as she looked at the blackened amulet around her granddaughter's neck, "This..."
The others had obviously thought of this as well, their eyes burning as they stared at the amulet, their hearts still reeling from the shock.
The two children, completely unaware of the thrilling and surprising event that had just occurred, noticed the adults staring at their little cards and asked innocently, "Mommy, this little card is amazing! Can we give it to Mianmian and Yangyang?"
Sister-in-law Zheng was both annoyed and amused, and snatched the amulet that her son was wearing.
The two children had just run up to her and asked for it, but she didn't pay any attention and just handed her own to her son.
The amulet that was pasted on the mutated plant, forcing it to lower itself, originally belonged to Sister-in-law Zheng. If she hadn't given it to her son earlier, perhaps no one would have needed to save it in the first place.
"Why would you give this away? This is our family's life-saving charm, a treasure. We have more than enough for ourselves, why would you give it away to others? You're just as wasteful as your father."
Brother Zheng, who was hit by a black pot flying at him: "???"
At that time, Mr. and Mrs. Zheng also realized the value of the amulet. All their previous dissatisfaction and disdain disappeared. They excitedly approached their daughter, their eyes shining, and asked, "Qianqian, where did you buy this amulet? Can you buy a few more?"
Zheng Yiqian: "..." So this is really good?
Of course, it's impossible to buy again. Not to mention the lucky ones who have already been blessed by fate once, even many of the fans who are buying for the first time have to wait in line to get the actual product.
Since it was in units of tens of thousands, even though Ye Wanxi had drawn quite a few for practice before, it wasn't easy to produce so many all at once.
Fortunately, there was more spiritual energy this time, and she was able to draw more skillfully and efficiently. Although it might be a little later, she was still able to fulfill her promise.
The same thing happens in every corner of the country.
Immediately, the internet was flooded with posts from Ye Wanxi's fans expressing their feelings about purchasing the amulet.
[Little Leaf's lucky charm is amazing! Today, when I went out to stock up on food, I encountered a mutated rat that would attack people, and I almost died out there. Luckily, I had the lucky charm with me; just as the rat was about to bite me, it was electrocuted by a falling power line!]
The plant on my neighbor's balcony mutated and moved into my house. Luckily, I had a small amulet with good luck leaves, otherwise my whole family would have been in danger.
[Damn it! I don't know whether to call it lucky or unlucky. On my way to work, I encountered a mutated tree going crazy on the road. I was terrified and didn't know what to do. The tree was far enough away that I could have run away, but I'm slow to react and just stood there like a log. The tree went berserk and threw things randomly, then grabbed a brick and hurled it at me. Although I was unharmed in the end, my lucky charm is gone!]
[You upstairs should be grateful. At least you survived. If you hadn't been carrying a lucky charm, given the strength of that mutated plant, if it threw a brick at you, whether it was aimed at your head or not, you wouldn't have survived!]
