Chapter 45: Escaping Danger
I'm thinking that Lu Yifeng is pretending to understand, giving the child both an IV and a shot, if he really ends up killing the kid, the responsibility will all fall on us.
As I stared at him, Lu Yifeng became shy for the first time and stuttered.
His words made me feel a chill in my heart, and I was afraid of the consequences. Looking at the syringe with bright red blood inside, I asked, "Brother! Do you even know what you're doing?"
I was about to continue scolding him, but before I could say anything else, Lu Yifeng took over the conversation and emphasized, "Xiaobai, I just went to see that kid. If we don't give him some medicine, he won't make it through tonight. I suspect he's contracted a very strange virus. How about this: you listen to me, you and Panzi wait for me, I have a doctor friend in Musu Town, I'll go ask him now."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran out of the house with a speed similar to that of a rabbit.
I called out a few times, but he was gone when I chased after him. I returned dejectedly and couldn't sit down, so I paced back and forth on the ground.
I suddenly felt that Ah Feng was a jinx, he left and during this time the child died, wouldn't that woman come after me and Panzi with her life? Especially when I vaguely saw the woman standing in front of me, stretching out her hand to fiercely scratch my face.
I was so scared that I quickly touched my face.
Panzi didn't sleep, but he lay down and didn't notice my whispers with Ahfeng. Seeing me like this now, he couldn't help asking, "Xiaobai, why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing lying on the ground?"
I pulled Panzi up and told him what had just happened. Panzi realized how serious it was, and while he was thinking about it, he looked around and asked me what to do next.
We two are people who have committed a crime and then achieved merit. We really can't get involved in another lawsuit. I steeled myself and thought of a plan.
I said to Panzi, "Let's not stay in this farmhouse anymore. Let's escape and wander around outside the village. If Ahfeng comes back, we'll follow him. When he gets into trouble, he'll take the blame. If Ahfeng doesn't come back tonight, the two of us will return to Wuzhou."
Panzi said let's go, we'll pack up our things now.
We brought a total of three travel bags, in order to travel light, I only took Ah Feng's backpack, there was nothing much in mine and Pan Zi's bags, so it wouldn't be a pity if we lost them here.
The two of us quietly left the tile-roofed house, but as soon as we walked into the courtyard, I saw that woman standing at the gate. She had pushed open the door halfway and was leaning out, looking expectantly outside.
I don't know what Ah Feng said to her, but she was obviously looking forward to Ah Feng coming back soon.
She's blocking the door like this, Panzi will definitely not be able to get out. I'm also afraid that she'll turn her head and discover us, so we both quickly snuck back again.
We hid in the house with all the lights turned off, pretending to be asleep, but actually we were discussing something with our heads together.
Pan Zi suddenly regained his strength and when it came to escaping, this little guy also had some tricks up his sleeve.
He said to me, "Since we can't get out from the door, let's jump over the wall."
I think it's feasible, and the window of this tile-roofed house is facing the wall of the backyard. The two of us jumped out of the window, one after the other.
But when I looked at the courtyard wall, I was stunned again.
The wall behind is particularly high, initially estimated to be no less than three meters, and we didn't have any climbing tools at the time, so it was a bit of a struggle to climb.
I had a backpack on and it wasn't convenient, so Panzi tried first. He took a few running steps, kicked one foot against the wall, and used the momentum to push himself up.
He jumped quite high, but still fell short of touching the top of the wall by a large margin, and finally landed back down with a sigh.
He got angry and took off his top, wanting to continue dancing. But I stopped him.
I gazed at the wall and then looked at our heights, saying, "Little beast, why don't we get a ladder?"
Panzi's eyes lit up, and he gave me a thumbs-up. He then pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "Xiaobai, squat down."
I thought to myself, what's the point? Panzi was already heavy to begin with, and recently he's gained even more weight. If I let him step on me, I'm sure I'll be crushed to death.
I won't do it, let him squat in the corner, and he even emphasized, "Whoever is heavier will be at the bottom."
It's not the time for arguing now, Panzi had no choice but to listen to me.
I stood on his shoulders and let him stand up again. I found that things were coincidental, and after the two of us formed a human ladder, I stretched my hands as hard as I could, but it was still about one foot short to reach the top of the wall.
Pan Zi won't stop nagging me to hurry up and climb, it's very uncomfortable for him to stand like this.
I lowered my head and looked at Panzi, saying "Brother, bear with it" and then stepped on his head again.
Pan Zi was so anxious that I had to coax him a few more times, and with this effort, I finally managed to touch a brick on the wall.
I hastily twisted my body a few times and used momentum to sit myself on top of the wall.
Less holding me down, Panzi hastily rubbed his head hard, I also knew he was in a lot of pain, but there was no way to comfort him. I half leaned against the wall, stretched out my hand and let him grab it, telling him to hurry up and come up.
Pan Zi also understood the urgency and made another strong jump. With coordination, I caught him.
Now in this position, I pulled him with great effort, on the one hand trying my best to lift him up and on the other hand telling him to push against the wall for more force.
Just as we were busy, a voice suddenly sounded in my ear, "Hmph! Fool!" It was a girl's voice.
It was late at night, and there was no one around me. Suddenly a loud shout scared me so much that I trembled with fear. Panzi also heard it, and he immediately lost his nerve, humming as he fell down.
I didn't want us to suffer in vain, nor did I have the energy to investigate where this girl's voice came from. I let Panzi hold on, and suddenly a surge of momentum rose up in me, increasing the strength in my hands.
After exerting all my strength to pull Panzi up, I was so exhausted that I almost fainted. Panzi was also panting heavily, but he didn't seem tired at all.
Pan Zi asked me what's going on and why someone was talking just now.
I thought to myself, "How would I know?" So I looked around front and back, searching for any suspicious points.
There's nothing unusual around us. The two of us sat on the wall and everything nearby was clear at a glance. I looked further away again.
Outside the wall was a small orchard. At first, I really didn't see anything, but under one of the trees suddenly moved, and a black shadow crouched there.
This black shadow was all fluffy, not like a person. For a moment, I couldn't think of what kind of animal it was either. I felt around on Lu Yu Feng's backpack, wanting to find the flashlight. But there were too many things in his bag, and after feeling around for a bit, I still hadn't found it.
Helpless, I picked up the keychain again, wanting to use the small flashlight on it. But before I could shine it, a voice came from within the wall, "Two star officers, what are you doing?"
This voice is familiar, it's that woman. Panzi and I looked down together and found out she had walked over without knowing when.
I've always had a thief-like feeling, and when she found out, I felt a bit embarrassed.
Panzi said with a smile, "The Star Officer, of course, has to come out at night to observe the stars."
The woman couldn't believe it, pointing at the backpack and continuing to ask, "What are you doing with this?"
I don't want to explain anything anymore, and I gave Panzi a wink. We jumped down from the wall one after another. I changed the subject directly and asked, "Old sister, what's lurking in that grove of trees outside the wall? Is it the forest guard's dog?"
I thought she must have known, but as soon as I finished asking, the woman's face turned particularly bad, and she became hysterical, retreating to the wall with a terrified expression, frantically waving her hands and saying, "Ghost, that's the ghost from Pandora's box! It's come?"
I and Panzi were both stunned, unable to understand what the woman was saying. Seeing that she wasn't in a good state, Panzi even went forward to support her.
But when the woman saw Panzi coming over, she let out a loud shriek and raised her hands to hit Panzi, continuing to yell, "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer!"
Pan Zi was hit a few times but didn't feel any pain, and he took advantage of the momentum to pull the woman out.
I found that the woman's strength had become particularly great, she struggled a few times and actually broke free from Panzi's control, turning her head to run.
Pan Zi suddenly hugged her from behind again. This was a man's trick to control another man, and if someone was hugged like this, they definitely couldn't escape.
But this woman played a trick, and with one hand she pressed down on Pan's crotch, wildly grabbing and pinching.
This rod is straight scolding his mother, I take a look at myself if I don't take action, Panzi's reputation will be ruined.
I rushed in front of the woman and said sorry before punching her neck.
The neck is a vital spot, as long as you grasp the strength well, one move can make someone faint.
The woman, though unwilling, slowly closed her eyes. I led the way, with Panzi carrying her, and we went to her tile-roofed house, placing her beside the child on the bed.
This mother and son are finally together for a while, now it's convenient for us to leave, but looking at this mother and son, I'm worried.
Pan Ziye meant the same thing, he found a chair to sit down and took out his mobile phone to call Lu Yifeng.
But he tried a few times and finally huffed and puffed at me, saying "Why did Ah Feng shut down?"
I also think it's best to contact Ah Feng, although I couldn't find him on his mobile phone, but I have another way.
I took out the wireless communicator from A Feng's bag, adjusted the antenna and opened it, entering that dialogue box.
"Sinful eyes, summon!"
"Not even half a minute had passed when the other party responded, 'Please speak, Guanyin!'"
I was just in a hurry earlier, but now that I've calmed down, I have an urge to bite my fingers. I'm thinking to myself, if I use the wireless communicator to find Ah Feng, will this method of doing things make the organization dissatisfied?
It's too late now, and I regret it, but I said another sentence, "Please help the organization contact Guishou, saying that Xianyan has an urgent matter."
I found that the other party was not so rigid, after seeing my words, it typed a bunch of exclamation marks, apparently somewhat helpless, but it really helped me with this trouble, and said another sentence, "Received! Please wait for the message!"
It said that waiting for news must be waiting for a ghost's hand, and I didn't have anything else to chat with the organization about, so I turned off the wireless communicator.
I smoked two cigarettes with Panzi, and after about a quarter of an hour, my phone rang. It was Ahfeng calling.
When I answered, I heard him lower his voice and ask what was wrong?
I didn't hide anything and told him everything that happened just now. Ah Feng was very surprised after listening, and even asked an extra question, "Can this really happen?"
I thought why not, and I urged him to hurry back.
A Feng said half an hour later will arrive, then hung up the phone.
I thought Ah Feng could bring his doctor friend over, but what Panzi and I waited for was another strange thing!
