Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 385 The Unfaithful Wife of the Top Scholar Sets Up Her Own House 4

"Tuanzi, please help me check what the current situation of Zhou Chengming and his sister is?" Su Lan stood up with a serious expression. She walked quickly forward, looking around nervously, but she did not see the figures of the killers who killed the original owner appear in front of her.

"Hmph! You're lucky! I'll let you linger for two more days! After I take good care of the child, I'll come and take your lives to avenge my death!"

At this moment, Tuanzi's anxious voice came to his mind: "Host, this is bad! The original owner hid the children in a dilapidated temple, but there are already a group of vicious killers searching for them. If you rush back now, you will probably run into these killers head-on!"

Hearing this, Su Lan stopped, thought for a moment, and responded decisively: "In that case, let's collect some interest from these guys first!" Before she finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards the direction of the dilapidated temple deep in the original owner's memory.

Meanwhile, in the dim and eerie ruined temple, seven-year-old Zhou Chengming huddled tightly behind a broken statue. His small body trembled, one hand tightly covering his own mouth, the other tightly covering his sister's, fearing that even the slightest sound would bring danger.

At this moment, his bright big eyes were already filled with crystal tears, but he tried hard to hold back the tears from falling, and he didn't dare to cry out loud.

He knew full well that his mother's journey was a matter of life and death, and there were a large group of evil-minded villains nearby, eagerly searching for his and his sister's hiding place. If they discovered him, the consequences would be disastrous...

Thinking of this, Zhou Chengming couldn't help but hug his equally terrified sister tightly in his arms, silently praying in his heart that his mother would return safely.

The assassins' orders were remarkably clear and ruthless: Su Lan must be killed, but the two young children must be spared. They were to knock them unconscious and return them to Zhou's mother. It was precisely because of this that, in their previous life, Zhou Chengming and his sister had been able to make the trek to the capital without incident.

At that moment, the night was as dark as ink, and all was silent. A killer silently approached the Buddha statue, his footsteps as light as a feather, as if afraid to awaken his slumbering prey. However, just as he was within striking distance of his target, a sudden, blood-curdling scream echoed from behind him.

The killer turned in shock, only to see sharp branches darting through the air like ghosts. Instantly, one of them slashed across his neck with lightning speed, opening a deep wound and gushing crimson blood like a fountain. He didn't even have time to scream before collapsing to the ground, his body twitching a few times before he was completely motionless.

When the two children who were hiding behind the Buddha statue and shivering heard the heartbreaking scream, fear surged into their hearts like a tide. Their little bodies began to tremble even more violently, as if they were candles swaying in the wind, which could go out at any time.

Su Lan also realized that she couldn't scare the children. She calmly stared at the blood-stained branch in her hand and the bloodstains on her body.

She frowned slightly and quickly performed the cleaning technique, which not only made the shocking bloodstains on the clothes disappear without a trace, but also wiped away the strong and pungent smell of blood.

As for the corpses lying all over the ground, she just waved her jade hand lightly, and the corpses seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and instantly moved to a mass grave not far away.

After Su Lan had handled everything in an orderly manner, she slowly moved towards the brother and sister hiding in the dark corner.

"Chengming, Zhaozhao, come out quickly! Mother has successfully led all those hateful bad guys away. Now we are safe for the time being." She called softly, her tone full of tenderness and love.

Hearing their mother's familiar, reassuring voice, the fear in the two little ones, who had been huddled together and trembling, suddenly subsided. Zhou Chengming sensibly gestured to his sister, signaling her not to act rashly. He then cautiously poked his head out and carefully observed the surroundings.

When he saw clearly that it was indeed his mother standing outside, the strong little boy could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes. He took his sister's hand and ran out like an arrow, throwing himself into Su Lan's warm arms.

"Wuwuwu... Mother... My sister and I are so scared..." Zhou Chengming hugged his mother tightly, sobbing. The little girl beside him also had tears in her eyes and snuggled close to her mother.

Su Lan stroked the two children's hair lovingly and comforted them softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Your mother is here and everything will be fine. Come, children, eat something to fill your stomach first." As she spoke, she took out two spiritual fruits containing a small amount of spiritual power from her personal space and handed them to the children.

It was already late at night, and the pitch-black sky covered the earth like a huge black velvet. Considering that continuing on the journey might lead to more unknown dangers, Su Lan decided to rest temporarily in this dilapidated temple.

Then, she pressed her hands together, muttering something, and a pale blue light streamed from her fingertips, quickly forming a transparent barrier around the entire ruined temple. This barrier not only concealed their presence but also blocked any intrusion from the outside world, ensuring that those vicious killers could not track them down, allowing the children to sleep peacefully.

In a house in the capital, Zhou Zilang also got the news he wanted: Su Lan was dead. As for his children, he did not have much contact with them and did not have too deep feelings for them. If he could find them, he would send them back to accompany Zhou's mother. If he could not find them, then it was up to them to live.

The next day, Su Lan appeared in Liu Town, not far from the capital, holding her daughter in her left hand and holding her son tightly in her right hand. She wanted to buy some new clothes for herself and her two children, as well as some food that was easy to carry.

Speaking of the source of the money, it was Su Lan who sneaked into the town's pawnshop last night under the cover of darkness and successfully exchanged a gold ingot for fifty taels of silver. Although this amount of money was not much, it was enough to meet their current needs.

At this moment, little Chengming, who was chewing on a delicious meat bun, suddenly looked up and muttered unhappily, "Mother, since Zhou Zilang had already abandoned the three of us, why did you take us all the way to find him?"

It turned out that in the previous life, the original owner was worried that his guess was wrong and that it would affect the relationship between the children and their biological father, so he never told the children the truth about being hunted.

Because of this, the children always have high hopes for the so-called father, and they want to find him so that this cruel man can avenge their mother who has suffered so much.

However, after her rebirth, Su Lan did not tell Zhou Zilang all the evil things he had done like the original owner did. After all, from now on, the children only had her as a mother to rely on, without the love and care of their father.

Therefore, she not only wants to teach her children to maintain a kind heart, but also to let them understand the complexity and danger of human hearts early on. In this way, when they face various difficulties in life alone in the future, they will be able to better protect themselves and move forward bravely.

"Chengming, Zhaozhao, this time we're going to the capital not only to ask Zhou Zilang for an explanation, but also to start a new life for ourselves. So, don't overthink it, little brat. Mother will definitely protect you..."

"Oh, so that's it," little Chengming shook his head, looking very cute, and Zhaozhao next to him also nodded obediently.

Su Lan also liked the original owner's children, so she would never let them get hurt.
