Thump, the masked man fell to the ground.
Crack... that's the sound of bones breaking.
Lightning bit off the masked man's neck, and it fared no better; its mouth was full of blood, and its teeth were loose and weak.
The lightning bolt crashed heavily to the ground.
"Lightning!" Gu Xiaoran stepped forward and hugged Lightning's head.
Seeing its canine teeth bleeding profusely, Gu Xiaoran felt extremely sad.
"Aunt Zhu, will Lightning die?"
His voice trembled as he spoke.
Zhu Juan shook her head, "No, the lightning will be fine."
After she finished speaking, she bent to the side and fell to the ground.
"Aunt Zhu!" Gu Xiaoran let go of Lightning and went to check on Zhu Juan.
Seeing that blood was flowing continuously from the back of her head, he was extremely worried.
"Aunt Zhu, I'll take you to your mother. She'll definitely heal you and Lightning. Aunt Zhu and Lightning, wake up, wake up..."
Zhu Juan slowly opened her eyes, then slightly tugged at the corners of her lips, forcing a faint smile.
"Aunt Zhu's mission is to take care of the young master. The young master is still young, and Aunt Zhu dares not let anything happen to him."
She spoke while wiping away her tears.
These past few days, she has been following the group closely, afraid of losing them.
Fortunately, with lightning to guide her, she didn't lose her way.
Fortunately, she and Lightning worked together to save the young master.
She slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
She was still reeling from the heavy blow from the man in black and needed to rest.
“Aunt Zhu.” Gu Xiaoran looked around at the empty thicket, and the feeling was strangely familiar.
"Father, Mother, where are you? Where are you?" Gu Xiaoran cried, tears streaming down her face, feeling utterly alone.
Lightning, dragging her ailing body, gently moved and curled up beside him.
Fifteen minutes later...
"Xiao Ran!" Just then, his master and Xuanming Xuanying appeared in front of him.
"Master!" The moment Gu Xiaoran saw her master, she was overjoyed, as if in a dream, and stretched out her arms to run towards him from afar.
Li Zheng also reached out and picked up Gu Xiaoran, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.
If he can't find anyone, he's about to collapse.
"Young Master, are you injured?" Xuan Ming asked with concern, carefully examining Gu Xiaoran from head to toe.
Just now, if General Li hadn't appeared in time, the two of them alone would not have been able to completely drive back the masked men.
Xuan Ying gently wiped the sweat from Gu Xiaoran's forehead and the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Young master, I'm sorry, it was my fault for not protecting you properly."
"It's not your fault." Gu Xiaoran shook her head, then looked at Zhu Juan and her dog on the ground.
"Aunt Zhu and Lightning are both injured."
Li Zheng and the other two's gazes fell on Zhu Juan and Shan Dian.
Zhu Juan was on the verge of death, her face completely pale.
Even in his drowsy state, Lightning's canine teeth continued to bleed.
"Today, we owe a lot to Aunt Zhu and Lightning." Gu Xiaoran's eyes were filled with worry, and his mature expression did not seem like that of a five-year-old boy, which made Li Zheng feel a little heartache.
"Young Master, let's go back," Xuanming said.
"No, I want to go find my mother." Gu Xiaoran had just gone through a terrible ordeal and felt wronged. He wanted to see Qiu Yan as soon as possible and seek comfort.
“Okay.” Xuanming nodded, agreeing with Gu Xiaoran.
Li Zheng didn't say much, only silently lowered his eyes, everything was understood without words.
Gu Xiaoran nestled on Li Zheng's shoulder and drifted off to sleep.
When he woke up again, it was a day later.
I didn't see Qiu Yan, but I did see Qiu Ling'er with red and swollen eyes.
He is currently at the Qiu residence in Qingyun.
"Aunt Ling'er," Gu Xiaoran asked in a hoarse voice, "Has Mother returned yet?"
