Hearing Yun Duo's words, Gu Wu nodded, took two steps to Old Man Zhao's side, and without saying a word, bent down, picked up Old Man Zhao's clothes, and lifted him up. Then he said to Yun Dazheng, "Old man, I'll take him out first."
"Huh? Mm..."
Yun Dazheng was still somewhat shaken. After a moment of realizing what Gu Wu was saying, he gave a haphazard reply. Looking at Old Man Zhao, who was being dragged along like a dead dog by Gu Wu, he couldn't help but plead with Gu Wu, "Brother Wu, thank you for helping us, but this man doesn't deserve to die. You... at least spare his life?"
Gu Wu nodded and said, "Grandpa Yun is kind, don't worry. It's the New Year, and I don't want to see too much bloodshed. I won't take his life."
"That's good, that's good." Yun Dazheng nodded hurriedly, and then gave Gu Wu a rather ingratiating smile.
Gu Wu didn't try too hard to comfort Yun Dazheng. He simply dragged Old Man Zhao along and turned to leave. After taking a couple of steps, he stopped, turned around, and looked at Old Lady Zhao, who was still huddled under the Yun family's dining table, trembling with fear. He asked coolly, "Hey, you old woman, are you going to get out of here by yourself, or should I come back in a bit and ask you to leave?"
Old Mrs. Zhao's teeth started chattering, and she opened her mouth several times, but could barely speak. She was also afraid that some ruthless killer would bleed her dry, so despite her fear, she finally mustered all her strength to say, "I'll go out by myself."
Although Old Lady Zhao's voice was softer than a mosquito's buzz, Gu Wu still heard it. He immediately nodded and said, "Just know to get out of here. Hurry up and get out, or I'll have to come and get you later."
After saying that, he dragged Old Man Zhao away without looking back.
Once Gu Wu's figure disappeared at the entrance of the Yun family's main room, Old Lady Zhao burst into tears. As she cried, she scrambled out using both hands and feet.
"etc."
Seeing Grandma Zhao's retreating figure, Yun Duo called out.
Old Mrs. Zhao trembled like a leaf, but she could only steel herself and turn around to look at Yun Duo, forcing a fawning smile as she pleaded, "I... Duo... I... I'll never... dare to do it again, please... let me go..."
Old Mrs. Zhao was covered in rotten egg yolk, dust, dirt, snot, and tears; she looked truly pitiful. Yun Duo frowned subconsciously before saying, "Take your things away, watch your mouth, and stop talking nonsense, or no one can save you."
As he spoke, he picked up the basket that Old Lady Zhao and the others had kicked over earlier and placed it not far from Old Lady Zhao.
Both Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi were a little worried, fearing that Old Lady Zhao might suddenly attack and hurt Yun Duo.
Despite Zhao's current disheveled state, her little granddaughter was still young and couldn't withstand an old woman's outburst. Therefore, both of them were very worried and kept a close eye on Zhao's every move.
Old Mrs. Zhao was already terrified. She hadn't even considered what to do to Yun Duo, let alone dared to. In fact, she was quite afraid of Yun Duo. So, only after Yun Duo had put the basket down and retreated did she grab the basket, give Yun Duo a wary look, and then quickly scramble out of the Yun family's main room, disappearing swiftly into the courtyard.
