Little Terrified Bun - Chapter 41

“En.” Xu Jiahui nodded strongly as he still saw all of this as an adventurous game, his eyes filled with excitement.

“Ok. One, two, three, run.” The two children had already reached the front seat. Those people in the front weren’t cautious at all. They thought two children didn’t have the ability to stir up any trouble, so they left the door unlocked.

Wei Jing was aware of the dreadful possibilities of this incident. It would be less serious if they were simply human traffickers, but what if they were organ traffickers? He couldn’t afford to take the risk. If they were to compare physical endurance, the tall and strong Xu Jiahui could definitely beat Wei Jing as he had been exercising since he was young, but now that Wei Jing ran forward with all his might, surprisingly, he was slightly faster than Xu Jiahui.

There was only one exit to this abandoned backyard, but before going out, Wei Jing found that there was also an old-fashioned lock from the outside that could hook onto the door.

He quickly shut the door with his dexterous fingers, latched, then locked.

All the steps were completed in one breath, with his hands operating at their capacity. This way, it could buy them more time.

Two men started to break the door open from the inside while Wei Jing already held onto Xu Jiahui’s hand and ran towards the grove. He had peeked out while he was in the car. This place was way too remote, doesn’t even have a street lamp, there was no chance of finding a single household here, they could only buy time and wait for assistance.

The majority of the leaves had already fallen off in November, but luckily, there were some flourishing maple trees in the grove. Wei Jing gritted his teeth as he could already hear distant shouts of the sturdy men.

Children’s feet could never be faster than that of an adult.

“Do you know how to climb a tree? Quick! Climb it.” Wei Jing spoke while pointing to a tall and lofty maple tree.

“I…I don’t know how to!” Xu Jiahui blinked his eyes innocently.

“Step on my shoulder, then grab onto the trunk over there and hop on, got it?” Wei Jing lowered his back while speaking. They really needed to hurry up.

“I can’t.” In contrast to the extremely anxious Wei Jing, Xu Jiahui appeared to be quite relaxed and at ease. “You’re too skinny, you should step on mine! I’m strong.”

“Why are you talking pure nonsense? Get up quickly, I can climb up by myself.” Wei Jing deepened his voice with a rushing tone. The occasional faint sounds of sturdy men from behind was like a sickle hanging above Wei Jing head, a nearing death threat. Being in such a devastating state made his brain operating at a high speed.

Xu Jiahui was shocked by Wei Jing’s sudden severity, he didn’t dare to say more and stepped on the shoulder obediently.

Wei Jing’s body was originally fragile and had little strength. With a child heavier than him stepping on his shoulder, he gritted his teeth and hung on to the coarse tree bark, delivering the child towards the top gradually. “Hurry, climb upwards.”

“I saw you guys. Still hiding? Do you guys want to get beaten?” The voice of those sturdy men were only a short haul away.

Wei Jing was internally stunned, were they discovered? He couldn’t turn around to check as he was holding onto the trunk, but still no one came after he held his breath for a few seconds. It was too dark, the kidnappers were probably having a hard time to find them too under this weather.

Xu Jiahui had above average motor nerves and climbed to the top of the tree within a short time, he was determined to become a policeman after all.

Wei Jing didn’t turn around, he climbed up the trunk with agility.

Just the next second, the place where Wei Jing previously stood was now occupied by a sturdy man who waved his small phone in all directions to use it as a light source, so many times did the light shine over where the children hid.

“Strange, there were clearly sounds coming from here!” The sturdy man muttered.
