"Mr. Mu is a very good person," Yang Yang said with admiration.
Old Ding nodded. "Yes, she's a rare good person. I heard she had a baby a few days ago, and the child wants to send Mr. Mu a cradle. They're doing it right now."
As they were talking, the rain outside not only didn't stop, but it got heavier and heavier.
The road outside was dark and difficult to walk on, and since Old Ding kept insisting that they stay overnight, the two decided to stay the night.
Qiao Dongzi and Ding Jian slept in one room, while Yang Yang slept with Old Ding.
Ding Jian was a small boy and a heavy sleeper. He fell asleep quickly after lying down on the bed. Before going to sleep, he put the folder he treasured under his pillow.
Qiao Dongzi was really curious, so he took it out after he fell asleep.
The folder contained three books—the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames, and the Thousand Character Classic—along with some annotations about these books.
At that time, three paper books would cost about two taels of silver, which was an absolute treasure for poor families.
Opening one of the books, I saw a line written on the first page: "Ding Jian, remember to give yourself a smile every day, you are the best!"
The signature is Mr. Mu.
"This Mr. Mu is quite interesting."
The next day, before dawn, Qiao Dongzi got up, quietly left some silver on the table in the room, and left with Yang Yang, continuing their journey towards Jingyue County.
...
Mu Run sat up, clutching her aching head... What happened?
My memory quickly regressed to midnight last night.
After feeding her two children and changing their clothes and diapers, she prepared to go to sleep.
Just as I lay down, the door opened, and two men in black entered the room, bringing with them the wind, rain, and chill.
Mu Run instantly shielded the two children.
"Was it one child, or two?" the man in black asked coldly.
"What does this have to do with you!" Mu Run's eyes returned a sharp look, completely unafraid of the two men in black in front of him, even though he was panicking inside.
A man in black walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked at the two children Mu Run was holding, one wrapped in a pink blanket and the other in a light blue blanket.
"They are twins, a boy and a girl."
"Kill!" another man in black ordered.
Immediately, a short blade gleaming with a chilling sharpness shot towards Mu Run's face.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Run put down the child, and her body suddenly moved beyond her own control. She snatched the opponent's short blade, stabbed it through the neck, and blood splattered everywhere, killing him instantly!
The other man in black was taken aback by Mu Run's ruthless skills and then drew his sword to slash at Mu Run.
Mu Run was even faster than him. With a swift motion, he severed his head, and blood spurted out, shooting straight up to the roof!
After killing the two men, Mu Run suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and then his body swayed and he fell to the ground.
Qin's mother came over after hearing the commotion.
Upon seeing the horrific scene inside the house, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
After recalling the events of last night, Mu Run looked at his hands... which were covered in dried blood, along with the gruesome corpses of two men in black and the unaccounted-for Qin Mama.
But then, disregarding the present moment, he immediately looked towards the kang (heated brick bed).
The two little ones are still asleep.
When the accident happened, they had just finished eating and drinking and were sleeping, so naturally they were impossible to wake up.
Looking at the room full of blood.
Mu Run went limp again, what should I do?!
Qin's mother also woke up.
Seeing Mu Run sitting limply on the ground, completely at a loss for what to do, she rushed over to help her up and asked her what had happened.
