Chapter 283 Killed with one shot
"Third brother, why are you here? Have you seen our eldest brother? We didn't see him since we woke up this morning, and all the valuables in the house are gone. The house..."
When the third brother heard her say this, he knew what his wife was going to say without having to think. Combining this with what he had just heard.
The third brother quickly interrupted his wife and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about this for now, just listen to me..."
The third brother explained the situation concisely, and then asked his eldest sister-in-law to make a decision quickly. He turned around and continued to walk to the next brother's house.
When the eldest sister-in-law heard what the third brother said, she was stunned and her face turned pale. She had a lot of questions in her mind and was about to ask the third brother, but she could only see his back as he left.
The eldest sister-in-law could only turn around and tell her family about this matter. Once this topic came up, the family members suddenly became anxious. Some believed it and some did not. They sent people out to check the situation...
Next, the third brother came to the fourth brother’s house. He knocked on the door, and the person who came out to open the door was not the fourth brother’s wife, but the fourth brother’s eldest brother.
When the fourth brother's eldest brother saw that it was the third brother standing outside the door, he also showed an unmoved look, because he knew that his younger brother was capable, and people who were close to his younger brother were people of the same kind.
The fourth son's wife in the courtyard also saw that it was the third son who came outside, so she walked over.
The third brother was in a very tight time schedule and he didn’t care what the other person looked like. He saw the fourth brother’s wife coming over.
He repeated exactly what he had said to the eldest son's wife, and without further ado, turned around and headed for the second son's home.
When the fourth brother's eldest brother heard what the third brother said, he thought that what the third brother said was alarmist, and his face showed an indifferent look.
The third brother had been paying attention to their expressions, so of course he noticed them. He was risking his life to help them, and was afraid that they would not listen and leave, and their lives would be in danger.
He turned his head and looked at the two of them, "Believe it or not? But you only live once."
After the third brother finished speaking, he hurried to the second brother's house. His heart was filled with urgency. He had to get to the second brother's house as soon as possible to tell him, and then leave quickly to reunite with his family.
The second son is the only son in the family. His parents have passed away long ago, and now only his wife and two children are left at home.
The third brother knocked on his door, and it was his eldest son, who was in his teens, who opened the door.
"Uncle San—" The child opened the door and greeted the third uncle when he saw him outside.
"Hey, sweetheart, where's your mom?"
The child pointed inside the house, and the third child walked through the door and into the house.
He saw the second son's wife sitting in the yard holding her child with empty eyes.
It turned out to be the second son’s wife. She woke up early in the morning and did not see her husband. The valuables in the house were also missing. She thought the second son had abandoned her.
She was so sad that she collapsed to the ground.
The third brother approached the second brother's wife, "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law..."
He shouted several times in succession, and saw his second sister-in-law raised her head and looked at him, her eyes focused and she called him again. The third brother felt relieved and repeated what he said again.
When the second son's wife heard these words, she no longer cared about being sad.
She hugged the child tightly in her arms, very scared and at a loss, "What should we do?"
The third brother answered her, "Second sister-in-law, we have to escape now. We have to escape before the little puppet comes to us. Go and pack up the important things."
"Yes, you are right, we need to escape quickly."
The second son's wife stood up and told her eldest son to pack up quickly.
The second son's wife had already searched the house, and all the valuable things were gone. She now packed up the children's and some of her own clothes, and then went to the kitchen to carry away the food.
The third brother was worried about the orphan and his widowed mother, so he stood at the door, vigilantly paying attention to the situation around him.
It has been a long time since the little puppet left Xiaowu's home. The little puppet may come looking for him at any time, so the sooner he leaves, the safer he will be.
"Second sister-in-law, are you done packing?" The third brother couldn't help but urge.
"It's almost there, almost there." The second son's wife replied, stuffing the few clothes in front of her into her bag, then picked up the child and walked out, followed by her eldest son.
Seeing this, the third brother looked outside the gate again, and finding nothing unusual, he called for his second sister-in-law and her son to follow.
They walked along the street, heading towards the city gate.
As for Xiaowu, his family spent the night hiding in the basement. As soon as the sun rose, Xiaowu went out to collect information.
He saw more little puppets on the street. Through observation, he found that they were still looking for the whereabouts of their missing soldiers. It seemed that they had not yet discovered that the soldiers died in his home.
This discovery made Xiaowu suddenly happy. He returned to the basement, called on his family to get up quickly, and a group of people walked towards the city gate.
Because he wanted to escape, he didn't dare to carry with him the guns and ammunition he looted from the little puppet, so he hid them in the basement.
They passed by the third brother's home on their way to the city gate. When the third brother passed by the house, he went in and saw that everyone in the house had already packed up and left.
The third brother, who knew this situation, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called on his second sister-in-law and her son to follow.
The third son walked in front, always paying attention to the movements around him. The second son's wife followed closely behind with the children. The group arrived at the city gate, where a long queue of people was lined up in front of the city gate.
The soldiers in front of the city gate were strictly checking the people who wanted to leave the city and were looking for suspicious people because they received news that several soldiers from Xiao Kuizi were missing and they had not found any trace of them yet.
The little puppets dispersed over there and searched house by house. A few of them happened to find Xiaowu's house. They knocked on Xiaowu's door for a long time, but no one came to open the door.
They learned from other people that there were people living here. Realizing that something was wrong, the little puppets started to bang on the door. When the door was opened, they saw their companions, the missing soldiers, lying on the ground.
These little puppets suddenly panicked, blew their whistles, and called nearby soldiers over. Then they entered the house and searched the corpse and the house.
After a search, they did not find any clues about the murderer. Judging from the situation inside the house, the owner must have escaped.
Judging from the wounds on the bodies, they showed no signs of resistance and were all shot to death by the enemy.
