Su Jiu was still young in the end, and her stamina was weak. She really could not run anymore. Panting, she said, “Big Brother, I-I can’t run anymore.”
Rong Si wasn’t any better; he was also exhausted. He stopped. “Let’s rest here.”
This place was filled with reeds much taller than him and Little Jiu. That woman shouldn’t be able to discover them, so it shouldn’t be a problem for her to rest.
The main problem now was that he did not know where they were. No one was around them, and no cars passed near them either. How will we return home?
Su Jiu sat down next to him and felt the warmth of the little villain. For some reason, she felt a sense of security.
It’s ridiculous. I actually feel safe because of a child?
Rong Si warily looked around, then at the equally vigilant little girl beside him. He didn’t want her to be afraid. So, he put his arm around her shoulders and softly comforted her. “Don’t be afraid! I will protect you.”
“Thank you, Big Brother.” The little girl looked at him with her big clear eyes. Guilt appeared in them. “I’m sorry, Big Brother. I involved you in this. But don’t worry! Little Jiu will definitely bring you home.”
As she said this, she smiled again as if she were encouraging him and giving him confidence and strength.
Bring me home.
Rong Si’s heart warmed.
“Okay, let’s go home together.”

Su Jiu and Rong Si rested in the reeds for a few minutes. It was quiet all around them. Occasionally, a few water birds would fly up and surprise Su Jiu. No matter what, it was fine as long as it was not that woman.
That woman is a lunatic. Su Jiu wondered what the woman would do next.
She had probably found out that they had escaped and was looking for them everywhere.
However, hiding here was not a solution. There was no one here. Su Jiu and the little villain had to find a way to leave.
She thought about it and softly said, “Big Brother, wait here. I’ll go take a look outside.”
Rong Si quickly disapproved of her suggestion. “No, you wait here. I’ll go.”
“I’ll go, I’m small. I won’t be seen easily.”
“But her target is you, so you better hide here and don’t make a sound.” Rong Si patted her little hands like an adult. He seriously looked at her and said, “I said I would protect you, so I have to do it.”
Su Jiu suddenly felt that at this moment the little villain was very manly.
If he were a grown man, she might’ve fallen in love with him!
Rong Si picked up several stones on the ground. He was afraid that he would not be able to find Su Jiu later, so he placed stones under his feet as a mark and walked forward in a crouch.
Su Jiu nervously looked at his back. Suddenly, she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up as if something dangerous was approaching her!
Just as she thought about it, she heard a terrifying laugh from behind her. “Haha, I’ve found you guys. Did you think I wouldn’t be able to find you hiding here? You’re too naive!”
Su Jiu widened her eyes and sucked in a breath of cold air. By the time she shouted, “Brother!”, the woman had already grabbed her and walked away with big steps!
“Let her go!” Rong Si immediately turned around, pushed aside the reeds in front of him, and rushed over to Su Jiu.
The woman did not take him seriously. She could tell that this little boy had a good relationship with Su Jiu. At least, he was not the kind of child who would leave Su Jiu behind. Hence, as long as she captured Su Jiu, he would naturally follow her.
