She only stopped after they exited Sha Tin Tsui.
After putting Nini down, I started to figure out the direction.
She had to escape as far away as possible before the villagers discovered the bodies of the Huang father and son.
Meanwhile, Nini began to struggle, trying to break free from her grasp.
It was only after Wu Tianqi's wife spoke up that Nini stopped struggling.
After finding the markers they left behind, she grabbed Nini's hand and started running.
But with two children in tow, her pace was much slower than when she arrived.
This means that in nine hours, they won't even reach the main road.
The people in Sha Tin Tsui should have immediately chased after the Wong family father and son after seeing their bodies.
When she stopped to catch her breath, Zhou Chunhua looked back.
The firelight in the village had now illuminated the foot of the mountain.
The sound of dogs barking could be faintly heard.
"Oh no! They're coming!" Tao suddenly exclaimed.
"No, it won't be that fast." She grabbed Nini's hand and started running again.
"They only release the dogs when they go out of the village to chase sheep! The barking just now means they've already released the dogs."
Hearing this, Zhou Chunhua gritted her teeth and sped up.
On her way here, she crossed a stream, and it is said that as long as you walk in the water, dogs will not be able to smell you.
"It's alright! There's a stream ahead. We'll wade through it in a bit, and their dogs won't be of any use."
She didn't know if the stream would be of any use, but she knew that she absolutely couldn't give up at this moment!
...
Sha Tin Tsui.
Countless figures gathered in front of Wu Hao's house.
It took several blows with a large iron sledgehammer to break open the iron gate.
The moment the iron gate was opened, the people outside, by the light of the fire, discovered Wu Hao lying on the ground, and an old woman standing not far away.
Those who were about to rush in gasped when they saw the pile of things next to them.
"Lin Hongxia, what are you doing?"
"Can't you see what I'm going to do?" Lin Hongxia grinned, revealing a few lone teeth in her mouth.
"Are you crazy? Don't you want to live anymore?"
"Yeah! I've wanted to die for a long time. Hehehe, after all these years, I finally have the courage to do what I've always wanted to do."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Hongxia laughed loudly, grabbed a torch, and rushed into a pile of gasoline drums not far away.
This was her last act of helping them, and also helping herself!
If the noise of the explosion can draw the people who chased out of the village back, their chances of escaping will be much greater.
Boom!
Bang!
A tremendous explosion rang out, but in Lin Hongxia's eyes, there was the light she had longed for—the light of freedom…
However, after the explosion, a series of piercing screams echoed through the mountains and forests.
One by one, they were like fireballs, running around aimlessly, unable to tell which way was which.
Some crashed into the wall, fell to the ground, and then rolled around.
Some were curled up, wailing and rolling around.
Some died directly from the explosion and are now burned to a crisp, motionless state...
"Quick! Save them! Save them right now!"
"..."
The commotion in the village indeed attracted the hunting team that had already left the village.
The leading man looked at the towering flames and hesitated.
"Third brother! What are you standing there for? Let's go back and save them!"
"Yes, Third Brother, let's go back!"
The crowd started shouting at each other.
The man in the lead glanced at the direction from which the faint sound was coming from the forest, then gritted his teeth.
"Go back? If we don't stop them, we'll all be in trouble! Unleash the dogs! Dead or alive, we can't let them leave the mountains!"
The people around looked at each other, and in the end, they did as instructed.
After all, this is the best time of their lives, and they don't want it to end before it's even begun.
"This way!" someone pointed out the direction.
More than a dozen hunting dogs had already rushed off in that direction.
The group picked up their homemade hunting rifles and gave chase.
...
Zhou Chunhua finally arrived at the stream.
She took a closer look when she passed by here on her way here.
The stream was less than five meters wide and very shallow, only reaching knee-deep.
Tao kept looking behind her.
The barking of the dogs was getting closer and closer to them.
"Don't worry about that, hold the baby tight, let's wade down the river for a bit."
She reached out to help Tao.
"No! We're too slow! At this rate, it's only a matter of time before they catch up with us." Tao suddenly shook her head.
Zhou Chunhua knew all along.
She was just gritting her teeth and persevering, refusing to give up.
We finally escaped! Only by not giving up can we have hope!
“We have to give it a try, no matter what!” she said.
However, the next second, Tao suddenly shoved the child into her hands and turned to run upstream.
As she ran, she shouted, "I'll distract them. I'm counting on you for Tongtong! If I get out of here alive, I'll definitely come find you!"
"Peach..." She only managed to utter one word before she disappeared from sight.
"Mom! Mom!" Nini cried, trying to break free. "Let me go! I want to find my mom!"
Zhou Chunhua held her daughter's hand tightly, listening to Tao's receding footsteps and the increasingly close barking of dogs, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the highway.
If she had another six hours, she could reach the highway.
But... at this speed, stubbornly heading towards the highway will definitely lead to a dead end.
You know, these people are definitely more familiar with the surroundings than she is.
Once they track her down here, they'll be able to figure out where she's headed.
