SFS Chapter 1008 Danger
Chapter 1008 Danger
She tried to tell herself to hold on, but she simply had no strength left in her body.
Ever since I became pregnant with Xiaobao, I've been plagued by misfortunes year after year.
From pregnancy to childbirth, and even now, her health has never fully recovered.
If you do light work on a regular basis, it's not very noticeable.
This is a life-or-death situation, and it's all exposed at once.
She could see that the sea was slowing down because it was pulling her along.
The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, and she started to panic.
"Honey, don't worry about us, just run!"
Take good care of the baby!
As she spoke, she began to push away Sun Dahai's hand that was pulling her.
Sun Dahai also became anxious, clenching his fists even tighter, and ran forward with all his might.
Having been a refugee for so long, he had witnessed too many tragic scenes.
He knew all too well what would happen if his wife was left behind.
He glanced back at the men less than ten meters away, then hoisted his wife onto his shoulder and ran forward quickly.
At first, this method did work.
But he couldn't keep going for long.
Dahai's wife wanted to get off, but her movements would only increase the burden.
After thinking it through, she stopped struggling.
She had made up her mind: what if those people really caught up with her?
Even if it costs her life, she will try to hold off those people and give her child's father a chance to escape.
Just when the two were in despair, the mule cart miraculously returned.
It turned out that when the chasing men first appeared, Sun Laohai, who was in front, was so frightened that he drove his mule cart away.
He knew very well that the mule cart was loaded with a lot of goods, and that it would move very slowly when it first started.
If the mule cart is impounded, that family will truly have no choice but to wait for death.
At that time, he didn't dare to look back at all; he only wanted the mule to run faster.
When the mule finally picked up speed, he looked back and realized that his son and daughter-in-law had been left far behind.
Having no other choice, he turned around and drove the mule cart back.
He even tried turning around.
The official road was wide, and after slowing down slightly, the mule cart turned around a sharp bend.
Feeling more confident, Sun Laohai flicked the reins again, making the mule cart even faster.
After running a short distance back, I saw my youngest son, who was panting heavily from running.
"Erhe, you run ahead first, I'll go pick up your older brother and sister-in-law!"
As he spoke, he drove off and overtook them.
Sun Erhe had just rushed forward without thinking, and only now did he realize that his elder brother and sister-in-law seemed to have fallen behind.
He wanted to go back to look for it, but he hesitated when he remembered what his father had just said.
I decided to listen to my father and keep running forward.
On the other side, Sun Laohai continued driving the mule cart back.
Old Hai's wife, sitting on the mule cart, held her terrified grandson and whispered words of comfort.
Actually, she was already sick, and this incident made her even more frightened.
But a mother is strong, and a grandmother cannot show weakness.
The mule cart traveled a short distance further before finally spotting the eldest son carrying his wife.
"Ocean, run!"
With that shout, Sun Dahai seemed to see a way out again.
He mustered some strength in his legs and carried his wife forward with all his might.
Sun Laohai then slowed down and turned two or three meters in front of him.
However, the previous speed was too fast, and even though he tried to slow down, the mule cart still swayed outwards.
As the mule was being pulled, it cried out, and the load on the mule cart was clearly being thrown to the side.
Lighter items were easily thrown off.
Fortunately, before the turn, Lao Hai's wife shielded Sun Xiaobao in her arms, gripping the edge of the car tightly with both hands.
As she turned the corner, her knee slammed hard against the edge of the car, the pain making her dizzy.
But even in this situation, she didn't let go.
He tried to regulate his breathing and checked on his eldest son and daughter-in-law behind him.
Sun Laohai narrowly turned the mule cart around and looked back.
The eldest son was only two steps away from the mule cart.
However, the men who were chasing him were only three or four steps away from the eldest son!
He tried to slow the mule cart down as much as possible and looked back at the situation behind him.
"Dahai, put your wife in the car first, quick!"
Taking advantage of the moment the mule cart slowed down, Sun Dahai took a big step forward and threw the man onto the cart.
Old Hai's wife was prepared; as soon as her eldest daughter-in-law was thrown up, she grabbed her arm.
Ignoring her own pain, Dahai's wife grabbed the edge of the car and turned around to reach out.
"Honey, quick, grab my hand."
Sun Dahai, with his already stiff legs, tried his best to lean forward.
Seeing this, Lao Hai's wife put Sun Xiaobao aside and went forward to pull her son away.
Finally, Sun Dahai was grabbed by the hand and pulled onto the mule cart.
The increased weight slowed the mule cart down a bit.
Even so, it's still much faster than a person running.
When Sun Laohai saw his eldest son come up, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He jerked the reins sharply, making the mule run faster.
After slowing down, the mule cart accelerated again.
As the speed gradually increased, the mule cart became even faster.
The men chased after it for a little while longer, but seeing the mule cart getting further and further away, they finally gave up.
The man at the front threw his machete on the ground and gasped for breath.
After calming down a bit, he pointed at the mule cart that was almost out of sight in the distance and started cursing.
"XXXXXXX, this family can really run fast!"
"I've been following them for so long and haven't gotten anything. What a huge loss!"
Beside him, a man let out a long sigh of relief and straightened up.
"Third Brother, why don't we move forward too?"
We've basically robbed all the villages around here.
If we continue to wait here, it's unlikely we'll see anyone again!
Third Brother was still somewhat angry when he heard this.
"Sigh, I'm really unlucky."
That team we went to a few days ago was really fat!
You all saw it too, there are so many carriages in the procession, which means they're rich!
Judging from how deep the tire tracks were, there must have been quite a lot of stuff on the vehicle.
Sigh, there are just too many people.
If there were fewer people, we'd dare to go up and try to grab some!
Another man next to him shook his head.
"Third Brother, Old Cat saw it all. Almost everyone in that group was carrying a large knife at their waist."
That's standard equipment for both government officials and bandits. The little stuff we brothers have isn't enough to fight them head-on!
The men wiped their faces as they spoke.
Seeing the mule carts completely disappear from the road ahead, he picked up his weapons and headed back.
Ahead, Sun Laohai drove the mule cart a short distance and picked up Sun Erhe.
Even after they could no longer see the men behind them, they still didn't dare to stop.
