Chapter 93 Danger?
Chapter 93 Danger?
Shen Wu and Gu Zhou bought a lot of things before leaving the department store. As the time was almost up, Gu Zhou took Shen Wu to the cloth store.
"It's getting late. If we don't go now, it will be too late. Follow me and don't get lost."
"Okay." Shen Wu tightened the backpack on his back and was very happy. He bought a lot of things, which would make it easier for him to do things in the future.
It was just the time when the morning market was over, and Gu Zhou took Shen Wu and turned into the first small street not far from the department store.
"This is a shortcut. Let's go this way to the market." Gu Zhou walked very fast with the things he bought on his back. Shen Wu hurriedly followed him, fearing that he would get lost.
At the end of the alley is another street. The people and shops on the street are no less lively than those at the morning market.
Shen Wu didn't expect that this town was quite big, and there was more than one paved main street.
There were quite a few people on the road. When the two were about to cross the main street diagonally, they were separated by a group of people who came from nowhere.
"Ouch! Run, run! They're arresting people!"
"Run!"
The moment Shen Wu heard the sound, she wanted to find a place to hide quickly, but everyone was in a panic for some reason. All of a sudden, the stall was gone, people were jumping around on the road, and another group of people rushed over. When she was about to reach the other side, she was knocked to the ground.
Shen Wu couldn't stand up, but luckily there was a stall next to her. She tried her best to curl herself up close to the corner of the table to reduce the risk of being trampled.
She tried hard to avoid the crowd and stood up to look for Gu Zhou. However, Gu Zhou, who was one step ahead of her, was led by the panicked crowd to a place almost out of the main street.
Gu Zhou wanted to go back to find her, but he was stuck in the crowd and couldn't squeeze out.
"What's going on? Did something serious happen?" Gu Zhou was so anxious that he was sweating. He had lived for so many years and although he had been to the town at least a dozen times, he had never seen such a horrific scene.
He was worried about Jiang Yu's safety, but he couldn't go back. The crowd pressed and pushed him, and took him directly out of the alley. Fortunately, he was carrying two stacked bamboo baskets and the things he bought, otherwise he would have been swept to the ground by the crowd.
There was no way Gu Zhou could turn back several times and was taken away from the place where they separated. He could only follow the crowd and turn back when there were not many people left.
Shen Wu felt that there were not many people around her, so she quickly crawled to her feet while the people around her were running hurriedly, and headed towards the entrance of the alley.
She and Gu Zhou separated here. There were no mobile phones or landlines in that era. The only thing she could do was to wait for him to come back nearby. This was the best way.
Otherwise, if I go to find him and he comes back to find me, it will be troublesome if we miss each other.
Not many people were running away at this moment, but there were still a few fleeing outside. Shen Wu had good eyesight, and through the heaving and shoving crowd, he could see a man running from a distance, with a long line of men with knives following behind him.
"What the hell?! So exciting?" Shen Wu exclaimed in a low voice, afraid that someone might hear him.
She subconsciously denied her thoughts, thinking that they were all things played on TV, how could she possibly encounter that?
I looked up again to confirm, and sure enough, there really was a group of people running after a young man.
The young man was seen running past the crowd and stalls, picking up or pushing things down to block his way. People hiding near the stalls screamed one after another.
Oh no, there was nowhere for her to hide, and there were only some wooden stalls nearby. It was the first time Shen Wu had seen such a scene and she was very scared. She quickly turned around and walked into the alley behind her.
The alley was quite deep, with two doors on both sides and rows of dry firewood placed near the doors.
The chaotic scene in the streets was just like in a TV drama where someone's family had a villain and the emperor sent people to catch him.
At first Shen Wu thought it was interesting, but when people came closer he felt his heart beating like a drum.
Shen Wu walked around the firewood and wanted to go deeper into the alley, so that at least he wouldn't be affected if he wasn't at the entrance of the alley.
Where's Gu Zhou? As he walked, Shen Wu thought of Gu Zhou who had been separated from him, and was worried about him. He hoped that he would not be touched by him. The child was too young and too weak. He just hoped that he could be safe.
Shen Wu ran to the middle of the alley but felt that it was not going to work, so he ran to the end of the alley, trying to find a corner to hide.
There is no way out in this alley! Shen Wu exclaimed.
Seeing that there were short paths on each side and a front door on each side, she didn't need to hide so far away.
Forget it, let's turn back. She has already gone to the end of the alley and will definitely not be affected.
Shen Wu was walking back with the basket on her back. Halfway through, she saw a man with blood on his waist and his chest half covered, running towards her like a gust of wind.
What the hell! What kind of luck is she having!
Shen Wu quickly lowered her head and pretended not to see it. As long as she couldn't see it, it didn't exist.
Her whole body was as stiff as a log, and her steps were like the drums beating on her chest. Her hands holding the straps of the backpack tightened unconsciously, and sweat gradually broke out on her back.
Shen Wu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. The man seemed to be seriously injured and his breathing was rapid. His face was pale, and his hands that were holding the wall were shaking. He seemed to be about to faint with every breath.
Shen Wu was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the alley, and closer and closer to the man. She vaguely heard a sentence: "Search them all! If you catch the thief who stole the master's things, there will be a big reward!"
Oh shit! A thief?!
Shen Wu saw the corner of the man's clothes getting closer and closer in her peripheral vision. Just as she was about to rush to the entrance of the alley, she heard a thud and the man seemed to have fallen.
It was difficult for her to pretend not to see. The man fell to the ground with his head facing her feet. Shen Wu, who lowered her head, could just see the eyes of the fallen man.
Those eyes were quite pretty, but now they were full of resentment.
Shen Wu sighed, and she looked straight at him. What the hell! This person's clothes! What's wrong with them! They look so expensive?!
"Damn it, search carefully for me. Did you see where that person went? Ah!"
The man heard the voice behind him and became very anxious. He crawled to leave here.
In modern times, she likes to make clothes and buy cloth, and has been to major fabric exhibitions and museums. The collar fabric exposed under the man's coat was particularly eye-catching, reminding her of a series of clothes that she saw in an official exhibition of a museum and was forbidden to be exhibited abroad.
Rich man? Shen Wu thought of what was described in novels and movies, and looked at the man's face again.
She has rosy lips and white teeth and looks righteous.
However, due to excessive blood loss, his skin had turned extremely pale.
She had been taught to be helpful since she was a child. Although she didn't know the man's identity, the material of his clothes was not something that ordinary people could wear. Saving him could be considered as accumulating merit for herself.
Shen Wu quickly put down the backpack. The sound outside was getting very close, so he had to hurry.
She pushed aside the pile of firewood, opened a gap under the wall, and turned to look at the man.
The man was sweating profusely from the pain. Although he saw her movements, he no longer had the strength to move. He could only gasp with his exceptionally red lips open.
Shen Wu ran over and whispered, "Don't make any noise, I'll hide it for you."
She has little strength, but she has done a lot of work since she came here. The man doesn't seem to be very old, and looks quite young. Although he is tall, he can still be pulled by force.
Shen Wu gritted his teeth and used all his strength to drag the man to the firewood pile and put him down.
Hearing the noisy voices approaching, Shen Wu took off his coat and covered the person with it: "Don't make any noise!", then piled the firewood on the person and divided it into pieces.
Then he turned around as quickly as possible, holding the backpack and falling down with his head facing the alley entrance, and he didn't forget to scream as he fell.
"Ouch! Damn it! How do you walk? My buns!"
