It was nightti, and Qiaotou Village was pouring buckets.
Qiao Mu closed the wooden window. Unease plagued her mind continuously, so she decisively laid on the bed without taking off her exterior layer of clothes as she listened to the sound of the rain battering against the window fra.
Beside her, Xiao Lin’er was wearing a peach-colored undergarnt that covered her chest and abdon, and she was hugging a fresh peach while sleeping sprawled on her back with light snores.
Qiao Mu, on the other hand, tossed and turned back and forth sleeplessly. Suddenly, she heard an inhuman roar from the east end of the village, closely followed by a horrific scream that pierced the night.
It dropped into the center of the placid lake like a rock, fiercely jolting Qiao Mu’s heart.
That voice appeared to co from Wu Yanzhen’s house.
Qiao Mu inwardly cursed “Shit” and sat up with a roll, scooping her sister into her arms and scrambling to dress her.
Although because Qiao Lin was holding the peach, it was difficult to dress her. When Qiao Mu tried to take it away though, the foodie firmly clutched it without releasing and even cried out in her sleep, as though she was on the verge of tears, rendering Qiao Mu speechless beyond words.
At the end of her wits, Qiao Mu could rely hastily toss her jacket over her before carelessly grabbing a quilt and wrapping it around her and the peach.
One hand carrying the little foodie, Qiao Mu pushed open the door and just happened to run into her hastily dressed second uncle.
She reckoned Second Uncle was woken up by the sound as well.
Qiao Mu shoved the little foodie at Second Uncle in haste. “Second Uncle, hurry and wake up Brother Xiao Hu.”
“Don’t pack anything. We must leave the village imdiately! We are leaving this instant! Bring them to the carriage and wait for us.”
“Qiaoqiao.” Qiao Zhongxing could imperceptibly sense that sothing had happened but did not have any ti to inquire further as he watched Qiao Mu leave.
A feeling of pressure tightly lood over him, causing him to unconsciously speed up and wake his son up. He casually packed a few essential clothes and escorted the two children to the carriage in the downpour.
“Xiao Hu, watch over your little sister. Dad is going to your elder younger sis.” Leaving this behind, Qiao Zhongxing dashed into the rain again.
Qiao Hu had already woken up from his befuddled sleepy state. Although he did not comprehend what was going on, he involuntarily grew tense when he saw his father’s anxious expression.
He tightly wrapped his arms around the sound asleep Xiao Lin’er and waited inside the carriage with clenched fists.
On the other side, Qiao Mu sprinted to her parents’ room swiftly and kicked open the door, having no ti for courtesy. However, the scene inside gave her a shock, causing her heart to raise as well.
A rotting hand had crashed inside through the window, madly trying to grab sothing.
If it were not for her father reacting quickly and throwing the teapot on the bedside at it, that hand would have latched onto Mother’s arm.
“Xiao Qin, leave first!” Qiao Zhongbang pushed his wife off the bed.
Qiao Mu shot into the room and glanced at her father, her gaze flashing, before sending a wave of mystic energy from her hand and chopping off the rotting hand that was about to catch her father onto the bed.
“Don’t touch it!” Although the current level one zombies had not leveled up and mutated yet and nothing would happen if people were grabbed, it was still best to not risk it.
Qiao Mu walked up with big strides and helped her mother off the ground. To her parents, who were dressed in only the middle layer of their garnts, she said, “Let’s go. We will talk after leaving here.”
Qiao Zhongbang wrapped his outer robes over himself and quickly walked to his wife and daughter.
Wei Ziqin had just happened to finish wearing her robe in haste, so the three of them ran outside and heard Second Uncle call out by the door.
“Second Uncle, why did you co?” Qiao Mu was shocked. Rembering the two unard and defenseless children were still in the carriage, she hurried and said, “Leave quickly.”
