"That makes sense." The deep male voice seemed to be thinking about something.
Then the sound of tools unlocking the door became louder.
A house made of wood is not that safe after all. Ruth stood at the stairs with sweaty palms. She listened attentively to the movement at the door and knew that the lock probably wouldn't hold for much longer.
She was extremely nervous, but she loaded her pistol and took advantage of the terrain between the second and first floors. She stood on the edge of the stairs, ready to aim at any incoming criminals at any time.
From the conversation between the criminals just now, it can be concluded that the gang broke into the house and killed people, and the circumstances were serious.
Unlike William's bluffing, if he was caught by them, he might, no, definitely, die.
Maybe he will be tortured before he dies...
Ruth swallowed, the police call was connected.
While continuing to aim, he talked to the police about the situation here.
By the time she finished speaking, the wooden door had just been broken open.
Ruth put the phone back in her trouser pocket.
When the first man entered the outcropping, Ruth immediately opened fire. She knew her skills were not very good, so she did not aim for the head, but hit him in the chest.
I don’t know where the hit was, but the man groaned in pain and then fell to the ground, covering his wound and wailing.
Seems to have lost the ability to fight.
The people outside the door were in a panic, stunned by Ruth's unexpected shot.
This was a gang of five people, all dressed in black casual clothes.
"Don't go in, don't go in!!" said one man. The other man refused. His good brother was still inside. He reached out to drag the wailing brother out.
Ruth saw the opportunity and fired another shot without hesitation.
The criminals’ losses: two persons.
Hearing the screams coming from the door, Ruth did not show any fear. Instead, her adrenaline surged, her body became excited, and she stared down with eagle-like sharp eyes.
The act of shooting without hesitation obviously caught the people outside by surprise. After losing two people, no one came in.
Apart from the screams, there was deathly silence outside the door.
The situation came to a standstill.
Ruth was not sure whether the other party had snatched it, so she did not dare to act rashly.
After a while, the person at the door said, "Madam, we are not coming in. Can you please stop shooting? I just want to drag my brother away."
"Okay, come in and drag them away!" Ruth replied loudly.
The three men looked at each other with a look of triumph.
One of the men slowly stepped into the door with one hand behind his back, where a black pistol was hidden.
However, just when he had stepped halfway in, Ruth fired a shot without hesitation, hitting the man's arm, followed by the second shot and the third shot!
The gangster was beaten so hard that he fell to the ground, and the pistol in his hand also fell to the ground.
Ruth was afraid that they would counterattack, so she just killed them all.
“You’re lying!!”
The men outside the door shouted in disbelief.
Ruth was trembling, but there was a hint of mockery in her eyes.
She is kind but that doesn't mean she is brainless. The criminal obviously wants to kill people. If she doesn't strike first, is she waiting to be ambushed?
She has Little Coal and Mr. Thumb behind her, so she can't allow any risks to come in.
After a moment of stalemate, the criminals outside the door actually ran away.
Ruth's house has only one entrance, the front door. If you want to come in from other places, you can only climb up to the balcony on the second floor.
She went to the balcony and took a look, only to see the backs of two people running away.
Soon after, the police drove up.
*
K state law stipulates that if anyone breaks into someone else's home without permission, the owner of the house has the right to shoot the person who enters, so Ruth was not wrong to shoot in self-defense.
She followed the police back to take a statement and provided some clues. When she came back, it was already afternoon.
'Home is not safe.'
After this incident, Ruth had a clear understanding of the safety level of the wooden house.
She decided to move.
The next day, Ruth contacted a moving company and moved her belongings away quickly.
The house was empty and Chu Qi would surely starve to death if she lived there alone, so she chose to leave with Ruth.
The moving company helped Ruth move most of her luggage, and Ruth drove away in her car with Little Coal and Mr. Thumb.
Before leaving, Ruth cleaned the house and said to the door:
"I'm leaving Jerry, you guys should leave too, there's no food here."
After locking the door, Ruth returned to the car carrying the little coal ball.
Chu Qi's princess-style little house was placed on the passenger seat, and Ruth placed the small coal ball on the back seat of the car, raising the partition to block the coal ball.
Ruth didn't want Coal Ball to come up and harass Mr. Thumb while she was driving. She couldn't free her hands to rescue him, so she could only let Coal Ball stay behind.
Remote areas are not safe, Ruth thought, she should live in the city.
Although the busy city is not conducive to her painting creation...but good sound insulation should be enough.
After moving to the bustling city center, Ruth chose to rent a three-bedroom, one-living-room house.
Well, Ruth thought that Mr. Thumb and Coal Ball should have their own rooms, and the slightly larger living room could be used as a studio.
Ruth didn't have many friends and didn't plan to invite anyone to her home, so the living room was unnecessary.
*
Chu Qi experienced the feeling of a protagonist waking up in his own 500-square-meter room.
Ruth placed her princess-style little house on the single bed in the room, and placed a simple version of the cardboard stairs next to the bed to make it convenient for Chu Qi to go up and down by herself.
