If she had stepped in to stop them instead of letting them continue like that, wouldn't all of this have been avoided?
Xu Xiuzhen's eyes were blurry with tears, and her vision gradually became blurred.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared not far away...
She squatted down and wiped the living room floor until it was spotless.
Xu Xiuzhen excitedly got up from the ground and walked towards the figure, choking back tears.
"Chunhua! Chunhua, you're back, Chunhua?"
However, when her hand touched the figure, there was nothing in front of her.
The living room was empty, with a thin layer of dust on the tabletop, and the floor, which used to be so shiny that you could see your reflection in it, was now foggy.
The air no longer had its familiar fresh scent; instead, it carried a faint musty smell that made one frown.
"How could I be so foolish! How did our perfectly good family end up like this!"
Xu Xiuzhen collapsed onto the sofa and wailed, kicking up clouds of dust as she pounded the sofa with her fists.
Night, with its chilly wind, rushed in fiercely.
The curtains were rolled up and rattled loudly.
The drizzle fell on the floor, slowly gathering into clumps...
Xu Xiuzhen didn't even know when she had fallen asleep on the sofa.
She was woken up by the cold.
She glanced at the open window and got up to close it.
However, as soon as he moved his foot, he lost his balance and fell onto the sofa.
He rubbed his sore, swollen, and numb legs, sighed helplessly, and then stood up again, walking towards the window.
However, after taking only two steps, she swayed and fell straight to the side.
Ignoring the pain in her shoulder, the dizziness made her feel nauseous and want to vomit.
In her dazed state, Xu Xiuzhen unconsciously tried to open her mouth to call for help, but only managed to utter a sound: "Uh..."
At that moment, she realized that her mouth... was crooked.
To be precise, it's because the chin is tilted to one side, causing the corner of the mouth on that side to turn down.
At that moment, she panicked and tried to sit up to get her phone from the door to call for help.
However, after several attempts to get up, she fell hard back to the same spot each time. Only then did Xu Xiuzhen realize that her problem was serious!
“Oh no! It’s my fate!” she cried out for help.
However, all that could be heard all around was the sound of the pouring rain and the howling wind.
The dizziness is getting stronger and stronger...
She felt like she was sitting on a ship in a raging storm, swaying without any foothold.
Xu Xiuzhen knew that if she didn't call for help soon, she might lose her life today.
No! She can't die! At least, not here!
Nanxing is still in detention. If she dies, no one will be able to help her get out!
She has to live!
The will to survive finally played a crucial role at this moment.
Xu Xiuzhen used all her strength to climb to the shoe cabinet by the door.
She casually put her phone on the shoe cabinet when she came in.
He gripped the shoe cabinet with his fingers and used it to support himself as he stood up.
She... finally reached for the phone.
At that moment, her mind was screaming: Make a phone call! At least send a distress text message!
But when she used her last bit of strength to try and unlock her phone, she discovered that her phone... was out of battery!
She rushed to the hospital to confront Su Mu as soon as she got out of the police station, forgetting to charge her phone.
"Heh, cough cough cough..." Saliva began to flow uncontrollably from the corners of her mouth. She tried to suck the saliva into her mouth, but choked on a mouthful of air.
A voice kept screaming in my head: Don't die! Help! Go outside and ask for help!
Xu Xiuzhen put down her phone and crawled towards the door.
The door that used to take her a minute to walk out of is now impossible for her to even turn.
A wave of dizziness washed over her...
Several times, she almost lost consciousness.
To stay awake, whenever Xu Xiuzhen felt her eyelids were about to close, she would bang her head against the wall.
The pain allows her to stay conscious for a short period of time.
More than ten minutes later, Xu Xiuzhen finally turned the doorknob and climbed out.
She turned around and climbed towards the next room.
She arrived at her neighbor's door, panting heavily, her hands trembling so much she could barely lift them.
It must have been late at night by then. The surroundings were completely silent, and apart from the lights in the corridor, not a single window was lit.
With a determined look, she slammed her head against the door, making a dull thud.
The motion-activated lights throughout the corridor turned on.
At that moment, Xu Xiuzhen saw a glimmer of hope for life.
The force on his head increased.
Xu Xiuzhen rammed her head against the wall with almost reckless abandon, and even though the pain in her forehead made her grimace, she did not lessen her strength.
The knocking continued, and finally, light appeared through the crack in the door.
At this moment, Xu Xiuzhen could no longer hold back her sobs.
"Ugh, ugh..." She made a sound with all her might, trying to attract the attention of the people in the house.
As the commotion from the house next door grew louder, she banged her head against the door with increasing force.
Finally, a light appeared before her eyes.
The door opened.
"A ghost...ah!" the man exclaimed, jumping higher than her head.
Even his slippers flew off his feet and hit her directly in the face.
But at this moment, she was completely unable to move.
She could only stare blankly at the blinding light, silently praying countless times for the people inside to lend a helping hand.
However, before the person arrived, she closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
