Wu Wanying hugged Ningning, tears streaming down her face. "Ayao, An'an must have been taken away. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to sleep."
The fire started outside, but perhaps because it rained last night, it didn't burn very quickly, but the smoke was very choking.
Yu Yao was in pain from the fumes, but she couldn't care less about anything else and urged Wu Wanying, "Mom, let's go out first."
Wu Wanying choked back tears, supporting the limp Yu Yao with one hand and carrying the child in the other as she walked out of the bedroom.
The door to the main room was suddenly kicked open, and Lu Ze appeared inside.
When Yu Yao saw him, her eyes and nose suddenly stung, and she choked out, "Lu Ze, someone deliberately set fire and took An'an away."
"It's alright, don't worry, I'll get you out of here first. The family compound is under martial law, they can't escape." He picked up Yu Yao, and Wu Wanying, protecting the unconscious Ning Ning, followed behind him as they rushed outside.
The flames had already spread into the main room, and a section of the beam had been burned and crashed down. Lu Ze quickly kicked it away, then rushed out of the fire with Yu Yao and Wu Wanying.
"They're out, they're out."
Su Meihua and Sun Yu both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Ze carrying Yu Yao out of the fire.
The smell of gasoline was still in the air, and the crowd continued to put out the fire.
Yu Yao had been kept awake by the pain from the scissors, but now that she was out of the fire, she could no longer resist the effects of the drug and passed out.
Before she fainted, her weak hand gripped Lu Ze, "We must find An'an. An'an..."
Before she could finish speaking, she fainted.
Lu Ze reluctantly threw away the scissors from her hand. Looking at his palm, which was covered in bloodstains, he felt a pang of heartache, but when he thought of the child, his eyes turned cold again.
"Song Yiming, what's the situation with Qin Ye?"
"Reporting to the regimental commander, the other side did indeed try to take advantage of the situation. The political commissar and Regimental Commander Qi led men to secretly follow them, and these bastards have no way to escape."
Wang Xiu hid in the shadows, took the antidote from Granny Wang, and looked at the distant firelight, feeling a surge of pleasure: "Burn, burn it even brighter!"
The old woman kindly reminded me, "You should hurry up and leave. The boat is on the cliff behind the mountain. I need to wait for them to come."
Wang Xiu, unsuspecting, carried her bundle and ran towards the cliff behind the mountain.
Wang the fortune teller watched her walk away, a slight smile playing on her lips, before turning and heading in another direction.
Wang Xiu was merely a decoy used to lure them into a trap; there was no boat at all under the cliff behind the mountain.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; the oriole is smug, unaware that the hunter has already caught up.
