Song Lili recognized Yang Weimin's voice and immediately turned around. "Uncle Weimin, where are my uncle and brother?"
Turning their heads, they saw Yang Weimin looking at them with a strange and curious expression, his chest heaving as if he had rushed over in a hurry.
But Song Yongren and Song Jianshe were not by his side; he was all alone.
Yang Weimin had never felt unable to face Song Lili, but now, it was as if his throat was blocked, his mouth open, and he could only manage to speak with difficulty after a long time.
“Your boss and Construction went to throw the cart, leaving me... leaving me to chase after you all by myself.”
Song Lili's heart immediately skipped a beat.
She took a deep breath, wiped away the tears that suddenly rolled down her cheeks, and said in a hoarse voice, "I...I understand."
What else can we say besides knowing?
Guo Guihua was pleasantly surprised and immediately ran over happily, "Weimin, you're finally here! I was so worried! Are you alright? Are you alright?"
Yang Weimin lowered his voice, seemingly suppressing his emotions, and said, "I'm fine."
When Guo Guihua saw Yang Weimin, she was truly relieved, her face beaming with smiles, as if all her fear had vanished.
She said, "Then let's hurry up and leave, the bandits are about to catch up."
Yang Weimin looked at Song Lili and said, "Lili...your great-grandmother..."
Song Lili interrupted him, "Uncle Weimin, let's go first. My uncle and brother will catch up."
Even if they wait here, it won't do any good except worry. All she needs to do now is protect herself and Fangfang.
If Dada and her brother are alright, they will look for them after the bandits leave.
If...if...they really do get into trouble, then she...will take good care of Fangfang.
One last look, and seeing that there were only a few people left behind, she gripped Song Fang's hand tightly and turned around first, saying, "Fangfang, let's go."
She grabbed Song Fang and ran away, ignoring Yang Mei's family. They would protect themselves; with Uncle Weimin around, there was nothing to worry about.
Yang Weimin felt that his voice sounded like it had been rubbed in sand, hoarse and unpleasant. "Meimei, follow Lili."
I hope Yong-in and Jian-she are alright, otherwise, what will happen to the two girls left behind?
Looking at Song Lili, who was thin but always holding onto Song Fang, Yang Weimin felt extremely guilty.
Yongren, you must take good care of yourself.
They hadn't run far when they suddenly heard the neighing of horses, very close, as if they were right next to them.
Song Lili's pupils immediately contracted, and her face changed. Turning her head, she saw a horse standing on the mountaintop, with a man seemingly grinning maliciously on it.
Song Lili's heart skipped a beat, and she tightened her grip on Song Fang's hand once more.
How did he get up here? Why didn't she see him?
Song Lili was only stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she grabbed Song Fang and ran for her life.
We must be fast, we absolutely cannot let him catch up, we absolutely cannot.
The screech startled many villagers in Hongqi Village; some of the more timid ones even screamed.
"ah……"
"Wow... Help me..."
Many people scattered and fled like birds and beasts. At this moment, they didn't care about taking their things, and many people threw their belongings away.
For some reason, Song Lili grabbed the least conspicuous kitchen knife while passing by a pile of discarded items.
Holding a kitchen knife in one hand and leading Song Fang by the other, he ran towards the dense forest behind the mountain.
Running on the main road is the easiest way to get caught.
Song Lili now hopes that the bandit will not come back to chase after them, since the two sisters did not take anything.
The bandit didn't chase after Song Lili and her companion; instead, he rode his horse directly towards the villagers who had something on their bodies.
If they catch up, they immediately grab the weapon; if the opponent doesn't give it to them, they immediately brandish a knife.
He wouldn't care what happened to the person he wielded the knife on as long as he got his hands on the item.
At first, some people were reluctant to let go of what they had in their hands, because it was the family's food supply. What would they do without it?
Seeing his brutality, many people were terrified, and when faced with the choice between food and life, many chose life.
Some people simply threw down what they were holding and ran away, while others clung on tightly, unwilling to let go.
Those who escaped were not pursued by the bandits, while those who refused to let go were all lying on the ground.
Just this one person made this place so tragic.
Soon, several more bandits on horseback caught up. The first one to catch up suddenly said, "You guys leave one of you here to keep watch, the rest of you go over there and chase after them."
He turned his horse around, heading in the very direction Song Lili had left.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly wanted to chase after that girl, the one who didn't show any fear when she turned to look at him.
The others, unaware of his thoughts, cheered and slapped their horses' rumps, chasing after the direction he pointed.
Chu Ci looked in the direction Song Lili left, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. This girl is no simpleton.
The path you choose is always the best one for you.
He spurred his horse and chased after it.
Unbeknownst to Song Lili, someone was chasing after her. Holding onto Song Fang tightly, she dared not let go and ran into the mountains.
As for what happens next, she has neither the time nor the energy to pay attention. Right now, getting away is the key.
She pulled Song Fang into the mountains and forests, and they ran for quite a while before stopping.
Seeing that no one was chasing after him, he let go of Song Fang's hand, slumped to the ground, and gasped for breath.
Song Fang was in even worse shape than Song Lili; her face was flushed red, and she was breathing heavily, like a bellows.
