Chapter 111 Running for your life
Chapter 111 Running for your life
As I mentioned before, this is a European and American style building, so the door is a wooden door, not a security door or a very sturdy iron door.
Besides, people in rural areas don't usually keep large amounts of cash at home. And besides, thieves wouldn't dare to steal from rural areas, since rural communities are generally very united.
Aren't there frequent cases of dog thieves being beaten to death in nearby villages, or thieves being beaten to death? So unless they're looking for trouble, thieves generally won't go there.
With a loud thud from the door, the angry voice of the man with the crew cut came from outside: "Damn it, you just wait, I'm coming in to skin you alive."
As soon as I heard that sound, I knew it was that damn crew-cut guy and his gang chasing after us.
"Hurry upstairs, let's see if there's anywhere to escape upstairs." After saying that, Xiao Bei and I rushed upstairs.
Dafu followed closely behind, and we quickly rushed uphill.
We had just gone upstairs when we heard a loud bang. Holy crap, that damn guy actually kicked the door open! Has he gone mad? He actually rushed in!
As soon as those guys came in, there was a commotion, they must have been looking for Xiao Bei.
As soon as we got up there, we ran to the balcony. Everyone knows that cats are said to have nine lives, so they won't die no matter how high they fall from.
Furthermore, cats can change their shape in mid-air to land in the best way possible. Also, cats have several paw pads on their paws, which can effectively reduce the impact when they land, so they are not hurt when they fall from a great height.
In short, cats won't die if they jump off buildings. Whether from a legend or from a scientific perspective, cats are capable of jumping.
So our first instinct was to rush up to the second-floor balcony, but just as we got there, we heard the sound of people coming upstairs.
It seems they couldn't find it down below, so they've come looking up. They should be able to find us soon.
Just as I was in a hurry to rush out with Xiao Bei, Xiao Bei suddenly stopped.
Next to the stairs, there was a pile of children's toys. It was a box of building blocks, casually packed in a box. It must have been the toys of this family's child, who no longer played with them, so they had collected them in a box.
Suddenly, Xiao Bei jumped back and kicked the box of building blocks, which instantly rolled down the stairs.
Immediately, shouts, curses, and cries came from below. After all, they were just kids, and it was normal for them to cry when they fell and hurt themselves.
"Shut up and chase after them, you bunch of idiots!" came the voice of the blond-haired guy from below. It seemed that he was in charge of the search here, while the other two had gone to search other rooms.
But Beckham is too smart! He even thought of this. He's practically a genius! He's so smart, he's almost as smart as me.
Seeing that it worked, Xiao Bei happily shouted and jumped towards the balcony. After getting on the balcony, I felt a gust of wind blowing on Xiao Bei, which almost blew me away.
It's so cool on the balcony! No wonder people who buy houses like to have a big balcony. But I'm not here to look at houses, I'm here to escape for my life.
"How are you? Are you alright after jumping?" I asked Xiao Bei.
"It's okay, are you ready? We'll leave if you're ready," Xiao Bei said to me.
"I'm ready anytime. Let's get out of here first," I said hurriedly, as there were just too many pursuers below.
Now is not the time for delays and idle talk. Those building blocks will at most make the kids trip and fall, but they won't do anything.
So Xiao Bei jumped down towards the ground, but while in the air, Xiao Bei's body was arched and his limbs were slightly bent as he quickly fell to the ground.
When he landed on the ground, it was as if nothing had happened; I couldn't feel any extra vibration on him.
But as soon as we landed, a little child shouted loudly, "Come quick, there's a cat here!"
Holy crap, what's with this elementary school kid here? Why isn't he at home playing League of Legends and messing with other people? Why is he messing with me here?
What did I do to offend these elementary school kids? I got screwed over by them while playing games, and now I'm getting screwed over again while trying to escape. I feel like these elementary school kids are almost as numerous as the Chaoyang District residents.
You can see them everywhere, even in square dancing, there are elementary school students. Is this going to defy the heavens?
I didn't have time to complain. As the elementary school student shouted, several angry curses immediately came from upstairs. We didn't have time to care who was cursing, and we quickly ran outside.
"Run towards the woods behind you. Use your size advantage; you're small, so they'll have a hard time catching you," I shouted anxiously.
So Xiao Bei ran towards the grove behind the house, and Da Fu and I immediately flew into the air to help Xiao Bei find her way.
I must describe the environment here. The rural areas here are rows of well-planned houses, with vegetable gardens in front and trees and other plants behind the houses.
We are now fleeing into the woods behind that house, with a group of children chasing after us.
Just as I suspected, many of the children's clothes were torn during the chase, and some even had cuts and scrapes.
Looks like I'm in for a beating when I get home tonight. I saw those elementary school kids, and they all had brand new clothes, but now they're all torn. Let's see how the adults deal with them when they get home. They're definitely going to get a good beating.
Although the initial results were seen, and many primary school students dropped out, there are still many primary school students catching up. Moreover, those three non-mainstream individuals have some friends, and not all of them are primary school students.
So the plan in the woods wasn't as perfect as I'd imagined. Also, cats can only run so fast; they can't disappear in the blink of an eye like rabbits.
So Xiao Bei escaped in a very sorry state. Several times, if I hadn't warned him in advance, he would have been surrounded and caught.
This can't go on. Getting away with it a few times is just luck. If we keep going like this, we'll definitely get caught. What should we do?
What should I do? My mind started racing. I had to come up with a solution, but what could I do?
Seeing Xiao Bei being chased so desperately below, I was almost frantic with worry. Just then, I suddenly heard a string of curses.
