Chapter 229 A Narrow Escape
According to general laws...
Chiu Chiu stared at the pitch-black hole. There shouldn't be a hole here unless absolutely necessary; [if there is, it must be for the plot!]
The chubby little hand tentatively reached in, and the dark hole slowly swallowed the tender white hand. But the hole was a bit deep, and Chiu Chiu had to press her whole body against the wall to reach the bottom.
The child was short, and his field of vision was outside that of a normal person. The spot where Naduhe had deliberately hidden the key was immediately spotted by Qiuqiu. If he dug even a foot higher… that would be a place Qiuqiu would risk her life to reach!
After some fumbling, Chiu Chiu finally hooked a cool metal object with her little finger. Overjoyed, she took it out and saw that it really was a key!
[As expected, my godfather still loves me, hehehe!]
Chiu Chiu didn't care if the key was dirty or not, she just gave it a good peck. This wasn't an ordinary key, it was the hope of saving her father and brother!
But an even bigger problem arose for Chiu Chiu—she couldn't reach the lock!
I feel like the whole world is against me!
The two people inside didn't know what was happening outside, and they didn't dare to make a loud noise to attract the attention of the Naduo River, as that would only make things more dangerous.
The two inside were anxious, while Qiuqiu was anxious outside.
She tried to jump up, but it was no use; she could barely reach it, and only barely touched it.
"Do you want me to open it for you?"
Chirp's eyes lit up. "Let me see which kind person this is."
Su Jinze had a bad feeling. "Chirp, run!"
It's the Nado River!
When Qiuqiu heard her brother's heart-wrenching roar, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She slowly turned around and saw a sinister-looking, thin figure leaning down and staring at her.
Nadohe's skin was unlike that of ordinary people; it was so pale that it was almost bloodless. He was very thin, so thin that his clothes hung loosely on his body, making him look like a skeleton.
Chirp stuck to the iron gate, weakly glaring back at it: "Pfft! Spit!"
She can't beat me, but she can spit on me.
Nadohe was surprised that this little dwarf was so bold. Although he was puzzled as to why there was such a small child here, he thought that Han people were cunning and anything was possible!
He wiped his face, revealing his hand covered in drool. The smell was indeed...
"Little brat! You're looking for death!"
While Naduohe was wiping her face, Qiuqiu tried to run away, but Naduohe was one step ahead of her and just grabbed her collar to pull her back.
Chiu Chiu cried, "Wow! My godfather doesn't love me anymore! My good luck is really over!"
Hearing the baby's crying voice, Su Junyao became extremely anxious. He shook the handcuffs forcefully, which deepened the wound on his wrist, tearing the flesh open.
"Naduohe! Let go of my daughter!"
Su Jinze: "Na Duohe, let go of my sister, and I'll grant you any request! Na Duohe, let go of Qiuqiu!"
Na Duohe grabbed Qiuqiu by the collar and looked her up and down. "I never expected you to be Su Junyao's daughter. It was all so easy for you."
He had a drug relapse recently, which delayed his interrogation of the Su family father and son. Only after he recovered did he realize he hadn't brought them food for several days, and if they had died, it would be difficult to explain.
Unexpectedly, his hasty arrival brought an unexpected surprise. The patriarch said this little thing was a treasure of the Marquis of Wenyang's mansion and the General's mansion, "I don't see anything special about you... Ahhh!"
Chiu Chiu raised her left and right hands, poked with her index finger, and made Na Duohe howl in pain.
[Hmph! My eye-poking technique really hurts!]
Chirp arrogantly raises its claws, looking down on me, Chirp, your fate is uncertain!
Before Naduohe could hit her, Qiuqiu grabbed Naduohe's hand and bit it again. The power of her little sharp teeth was extraordinary, and she bit Naduohe's hand until it bled.
Nadohe was in pain and frantically shook his hand.
This is where the importance of having an animal companion becomes apparent. When the little monkeys, Chiu Chiu and Cha Cha, get together, they imitate monkey-style tree climbing. The moment they bump into Na Duo He, they pounce and hug each other's waist, then quickly climb down.
Nado River was outmaneuvered by Chiu Chiu, and by the time his eyes adjusted, the chubby boy had already run away.
"You little bastard! You think you can get away? Stop right there!" Na Duohe wasn't experiencing a drug craving, but he was even more frenzied than when he was. He covered his eyes and lunged at Qiu Qiu, yelling, "When I catch you, I'm going to throw you into the Ten Thousand Snake Pit! Throw you into the Ten Thousand Insect Valley!"
Chiu Chiu dared not linger. She was well-versed in theory and practice, and now was the time to escape. Talking nonsense would only get her caught!
As Qiuqiu ran, she cursed inwardly. Inside the water dungeon, the Su family father and son were anxious, all they could hear was a series of beeps.
Chiu Chiu's insults are really vulgar!
The two kittens lurking in the grass had been abused by Nadohe, and they hid the moment they saw him. Seeing that Qiuqiu was being chased, the larger black cat rushed out like an arrow and scratched Nadohe's face when he wasn't paying attention.
Nadohe threw the black cat away with a backhand, shouting, "You two little beasts are still alive!"
"You bunch of damned little beasts!"
As Chuchu ran, she kept looking back. When she saw the black cat lying on the ground with blood trickling from its mouth, she stopped. "Meow..."
"Meow!" The black cat's sharp cry seemed to be trying to drive Chiu Chiu away, but Chiu Chiu couldn't do it.
"Meow!"
Chiu Chiu's eyes immediately reddened. Na Duohe scoffed; these little bastards were actually quite loyal. He could be a good guy this time and send them to their next gathering!
Chiu Chiu couldn't bear it and turned back. She's so clever; if she could escape once, she could escape a second time, but the cat would die!
"Bad person!"
The child's crisp accusations made Nadohe burst into laughter. He approached Qiuqiu, who was hugging the black cat and retreating. On the other side, the little tabby cat, hidden in the grass, was poised to pounce when suddenly a pair of rough hands pressed it down.
Lihua: "?"
Yuanmu put his index finger to his lips: "Shh, someone will save them."
Na Duohe had already figured out how to use this brat to threaten Su Jinze into revealing the border defense distribution map. "Hahaha, the patriarch's great cause is about to be accomplished!"
“Whoosh!”
A sharp blade cleaved through the darkness, and a short arrow shot towards Naduohe's brow.
Sensing danger, he was forced to retreat by the short arrow. Seeing this, Qiuqiu grabbed the black cat and ran wildly, hiding behind Xia. She was panting heavily, clinging to the black cat tightly.
Ah-Xia blocked Chi-Chiu's path and looked at Na-Duo-He: "Traitor!"
When Naduohe saw Axia, his eyes darted away. "What are you doing here?"
Chiu Chiu watched the two of them curiously, sensing an odd atmosphere between them. Just a moment ago, Na Duohe had seemed fierce, but now he appeared gentle…
Chirp, that's terrifying!
Nadohe took a few steps forward, but A-Xia didn't give him a friendly look. She raised the short arrow in her hand and pointed it at him: "Nadohe, step back!"
Naduhe stopped, and he stammered, "Ah Xia, Father..."
"Shut up! You traitor, you're not my father!"
Chirp: [I guessed right!]
