CHAPTER 679: CHAPTER 672: FINDING THE CHILDREN

Tian Xinhua drove the ordinary sedan at the speed of a sports car, while Sisi stared intently at the road surface, looking for any possible target.

"Brother Xin Hua, slow down a bit." Sisi suddenly shouted.

The car instantly slowed down, and Sisi jumped out before it even came to a stop. The sharp pain in her feet was unbearable, but she couldn’t care less and ran to the spot where she had noticed something earlier.

It was a smashed durian, emitting bursts of strange fragrance.

Tian Xinhua also got out of the car. When he saw the durian, his face lit up with joy, "It must have been thrown by Du Du and them, which means the three of them are temporarily out of danger. Let’s follow them quickly."

"Mm!"

Sisi’s heart was at ease, as long as they were still alive.

Continuing on, they found another crushed durian every so often, making them feel increasingly relieved—it meant the children weren’t far from them.

On the mountain, Du Du and Huahua’s faces, hands, and legs were cut and bleeding from branches and vines, with sweat seeping into the wounds, causing intense pain.

But they didn’t utter a sound, mustering all their strength to run up the mountain, not wanting to let Uncle Mo down.

Behind them, a group of people chased with flashlights, stumbling now and then, some even twisting their ankles and crying out.

"Damn it, this is really strange. The medicine that even elephants can’t withstand—how did these three relieve themselves of it? And these two kids are running faster than rabbits, it’s like they’re possessed!" Brother Lei gasped as he cursed angrily.

Luo Datou chuckled coldly: "I’ve trained them to compete with dogs since they were little. How could they not be fast?"

Watching the distance from the children grow wider, Jingshang’s face turned grim. He glanced at his watch. It was already midnight, and there wasn’t much time left from the scheduled time with Miyazaki Shin. If they continued to waste time like this, they might not catch even one.

"Mr. Lei, stop chasing. We need to hurry to the seashore. Let these two kids go for now. Going deep into the mountains at this time, even adults can’t come out."

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Jingshang’s face. After all, Miss’s main target was Mo Liu, and bringing back the two little ones was just to make fertilizer out of them. He would just say the two little ones died on the way.

As soon as Brother Lei heard what Jingshang said, he immediately called his brothers back. Frankly, he didn’t want to go into the mountains at this time either!

What isn’t there in the old woods at this time of year?

Especially those venomous snakes, who knew when one might bite you!

Even without the snakes, just those venomous mosquitoes would be enough to bite you to death!

Brother Lei looked sympathetically at the quiet mountain woods. These two kids chose the worst possible place to escape, right into the mountains—weren’t they looking for death?

Within no time, several people descended the mountain. Du Du listened attentively for any noise, then said to Huahua, "Let’s rest for a while; those people have left."

With that, he plopped down onto the ground, and Huahua sat beside him. Both were panting heavily, clearly exhausted.

"Third Brother, what about Uncle Mo?" Huahua asked once she caught her breath.

Du Du swatted and killed a mosquito full of blood and said, "Let’s head back and find the adults to save Uncle Mo."

"Let’s go; we can’t stay on this mountain long. The mosquitoes are too vicious."

Du Du stood up and pulled Huahua up, ready to head down and find Sisi and them.

"Third Brother, do you think those people might be lying in ambush below, waiting to capture us?" Huahua kept swatting, but it was in vain. Before long, she felt unbearably itchy, as if the starving mountain mosquitoes had encountered delicious blood, flying towards the two children like vampire bats.

"Probably not. With so many mosquitoes here, who can endure lying in ambush? Besides, I heard that R country guy saying they were rushing to the seashore, so they shouldn’t waste time here," Du Du analyzed confidently, and his guess was pretty close to the truth.

The mountain mosquitoes were indeed overwhelming, and there were quite a few venomous snakes as well. They were lucky when climbing the mountain, running up without obstacles.

But their luck changed when going downhill; they spotted several banded kraits and vipers. Du Du and Huahua used small wooden sticks to probe the path, walking very slowly. The mosquito bites on them were increasing, and their faces swelled up like pigheads, making them dizzy.

Du Du poured out two pills from the Jade Bottle, and both swallowed one, feeling much better afterward.

Tian Xinhua’s car whizzed past the corner where Mo Liu jumped earlier, but he soon reversed the car back.

Sisi looked at him in confusion as Tian Xinhua remained silent, got out of the car, and observed the middle of the road.

"Brother Xin Hua, what’s the matter?"

Sisi and Ah Xi also got out of the car. Tian Xinhua said nothing, looking back and forth for a while, then went to the roadside grass to look, before examining another side of the mountain trail.

"Du Du and them should’ve escaped. They likely headed up the mountain." After a long while, Tian Xinhua finally spoke.

Sisi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Then let’s quickly go up the mountain to find them!"

Seeing Sisi’s happy face, Tian Xinhua opened his mouth but chose not to voice his other speculations. Based on the footprints on the road earlier, it seemed Mo Liu jumped out first to lure the enemy, covering for the children’s escape.

It seemed Mo Liu did not manage to escape!

Moreover, the mountains in this season were the most dangerous. Who knew how Du Du and them were doing?

Suppressing the worry within, Tian Xinhua followed Sisi up the mountain to look for them, while Ah Xi stayed below to wait for Shangguan and them. Mainly, there were too many poisonous creatures on the mountain, and Sisi didn’t want Ah Xi to risk it.

As soon as Sisi was on the mountain, she cried. The mountain mosquitoes were even more venomous than bees, and the children’s fragrant blood made the mosquitoes incessantly suck.

"Brother Xin Hua, once we find the kids, I must throw those people onto the mountain to taste the mosquito bites," Sisi said through gritted teeth.

Although Tian Xinhui’s face remained expressionless, he felt hurt inside, fully agreeing with Sisi’s suggestion.

When Sisi and they found the two little ones, there wasn’t a single unscathed piece of skin on them. They were bloated all over from the mosquito bites.

Fortunately, Du Du had the pills with him. Otherwise, given the toxicity of those mosquitoes, even adults couldn’t handle it, let alone two young children.

"Dad (Uncle Tian), Mom (Aunt Sisi)."

The two pitiable little ones saw Tian Xinhua and Sisi, their former resilience turning into grievances, crying and rushing into their arms.

Sisi cried along with them, seeing their injuries and feeling an overwhelming urge to kill those bastards.

Despite wondering why Mo Liu wasn’t there, Sisi held back her worry, took out insect repellent from her bag, and sprayed it all over the two little ones before pouring some medicinal wine onto their wounds to prevent inflammation.

One shoe of the little ones had come off during the escape, leaving their little feet covered in blood, bringing tears to Sisi’s eyes again as she hurriedly used medicinal wine to clean them up.

Tian Xinhua carried Du Du on his back, while Sisi carried Huahua, slowly making their way down the mountain. Huahua soon succumbed to sleep, while Du Du finally fell asleep after explaining how Mo Liu lured the enemy, got captured, that the perpetrators were from R country, and they were rushing to the seashore.
