Chapter 11 Perspective.
Two wheels can't outrun four wheels. Instead of racing a bicycle against a car, it would be wiser to find a place to hide.
Shu Lan threw the bicycle into a secluded place, picked up the backpack and knife, and took Shu Maomao with her into the residential area. They found a building, climbed five floors, entered a house with an open door, locked it, and dragged a chair to block the door for added psychological comfort.
After doing all this, Shu Lan slid to the ground like a deflated balloon. The final scene of the man's death was vivid in her mind, and her right hand, which had once held the knife, became limp uncontrollably.
I met bad guys as soon as I came out. What a disgusting world.
When her vision wandered, Shu Lan saw Shu Maomao rubbing his eyes. She immediately sat up straight and grabbed his arm away. The bloody scene in her mind was wiped out, and only concern for her son remained.
"What's wrong, baby? Are you crying? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mommy killed the man. It has nothing to do with you."
Shu Lan blamed herself internally, it was all because she was too nervous. If she had waited until the man started the car before taking action, Shu Maomao wouldn't have had to deliver the final blow.
He was still a child, only four years old and had to face the cruel reality. He must have been scared to do such a terrible thing as killing someone.
Shu Maomao let go of his hand as she pushed him. There was no other liquid called tears on his calm little face except the blood splattered on it.
Shu Lan was surprised and asked, "You didn't cry?"
Shu Maomao said, "No, Mommy, the blood from that big rat got into my eyes and I feel uncomfortable."
Shu Lan vaguely remembered that he called her at that time, and it turned out to be because of this matter.
She took a closer look and found that apart from the redness in his eyes, there was no foreign object inside. She breathed a sigh of relief, took out some water from her bag, and found that her cuffs were covered in blood. She could only wet the hem of her clothes and wipe his face clean.
"Maomao, he looks just like us. He's a human, not a rat. There's no rat that big in the world."
Shu Maomao said with certainty, "It's different. He's black and smells bad, like a rat. I don't like rats touching you."
Shu Maomao's worldview has not been fully established yet, and he doesn't think that this knife is any different from killing a big rat.
Shu Lan explained to him, feeling both amused and helpless: "There are two genders in this world, one is called woman, the other is called man. Mommy is a woman, thin and with a thin voice. He is a man, taller and stronger than Mommy. Shu Maomao is also a man, but you haven't grown up yet."
Shu Maomao's face fell, and he was very unhappy: "Mommy, can I be a woman?"
Normally he acts mature and aloof like a little adult, and only when he speaks such naive and ignorant words can people be sure that he is a real child.
Shu Lan burst out laughing. "No, that's predetermined since birth. But he's dark and smelly because he doesn't pay attention to hygiene. As long as our Shu Maomao brushes his teeth every day and takes a bath when he gets dirty, he'll always be fragrant and white."
She held him in her arms, leaned on the child's tender shoulders to calm her mind, closed her eyes and comforted herself.
Don't be afraid, Shu Lan.
The rules of society have been completely overturned. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Killing others for self-protection will not happen only once. Fear will not help her survive. She also has children. For herself and her children, she must look at the issue of killing calmly.
At this time, Shu Maomao suddenly spoke: "Earth-type supernatural power."
Shu Lan nodded: "Yes, that person has earth-related abilities. He created the earth slope that blocked our way."
After calming down, Shu Lan let go of the child and stood up. She had been to this area before. She couldn't find any food, but she could find two sets of clothes that the owner hadn't taken away to change into.
The man's blood splattered all over her, and Shu Lan felt a little disgusted.
Shu Maomao followed her into the bedroom like a little follower and opened the wardrobe.
Shu Lan said in surprise: "Wow~"
Shu Maomao sat on the bed and imitated her reaction: "Wow."
"They are all beautiful skirts." Shu Lan shook her head: "It's a pity that Mommy doesn't like wearing skirts."
Having said that, she still reached out and took out two pieces to compare them on her body.
She used to like it, but after getting used to running around, the skirt that got in the way left her with bad memories.
After she finished competing, she put the skirt back and opened another cabinet, which was filled with men's clothing.
The owner of this house must have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even after running away, he still hangs his clothes neatly according to categories. Women's skirts are in one wardrobe, men's shirts are in another wardrobe, and underwear and socks are in the bottom drawer.
Shu Lan found herself a long-sleeved women's top and casual pants to change into, then pulled Shu Maomao to search the small room next door.
The small room is obviously a children's room. The decoration inside is mainly pink and blue. There is a Barbie doll on the table, cute dolls are scattered on the corner of the bed, and the wall is covered with star stickers, which is very dreamy.
Shu Lan went straight to the closet, which was full of little girls' clothes.
Her eyes lit up, she took out a white lace princess dress and waved to her son.
"Baby, come here and try this."
Shu Maomao saw the puffed-up dress and subconsciously turned her head away, saying, "I don't want to wear it. I don't like skirts either."
Shu Lan grabbed the child who was about to run away and said, "Try it, try it, just for a moment~ Shu Maomao, don't you love Mommy anymore? Don't you want to be Mommy's good boy anymore?"
Shu Maomao slowly stopped struggling in the face of Shu Lan's deliberately pitiful tone, and resigned herself to letting Shu Lan take off her clothes and put on her white puffy skirt.
Soon, a cute little princess with a bowl-cut haircut appeared in the room. Three big words were written on her delicate and cold facial features - Reluctant.
But Shu Lan was very satisfied. She even found a small rubber band in the drawer and tied his soft hair into small buns on each side. This way, he became a little princess with bangs, big watery double eyelids, a small nose and mouth, and round cheeks.
Shu Lan held her heart, which was about to melt, and sighed: "Baby, you are so cute~~"
She only regretted that she didn't have a camera to capture Shu Maomao's princess image at this moment as a souvenir.
Shu Maomao reluctantly emphasized, "You said you'd try it for a while."
Shu Lan nodded: "Oh, yes, in a moment, take it off quickly, baby."
She took out an ice-blue Elsa princess dress from the closet and said with a smile, "Change into this one."
Shu Maomao: "..."
Shu Maomao was having fun playing the dress-up game when his ears twitched. Suddenly, his face tightened and he said seriously, "Mommy, someone's coming up."
Shu Lan immediately put down her skirt, took out the bloody fruit knife from her backpack, pulled it out, and walked out of the room carefully.
In fact, when she was hiding, she also thought that there was dust in the corridor, and footprints would definitely be left when someone came up. Once someone could chase to this building, they would be able to find where Shu Lan was hiding.
But she could neither ride nor run, and hiding was her only option. She didn't know how the other party had found her door so accurately among so many buildings.
In the quiet building, the footsteps gradually became clearer. Shu Lan subconsciously held her breath, holding the child in one hand and a knife in the other, staring at the door nervously.
Ordinary people cannot open a locked door, but the other party is a person with special abilities, and in their eyes, the door may just be a piece of paper that can be destroyed at any time.
Shu Maomao suddenly spoke up: "Mommy, the man at the door said: 'Boss, we found her. Building A13, 5th floor. Come over here. I saw her inside, holding a little girl and holding a knife.'"
It turns out to be perspective.
She said how could the other party find her so quickly. Clairvoyance is a perceptual ability. People who possess this ability are sensitive, suspicious, and have strong tracking abilities.
He couldn't open the locked door, so he called out to his companions. Shu Lan guessed that one of the other two was a combat-type psychic who could break down the door and rush in.
