Mo Roulan walked staggeringly on the wide road with Mo Chen.
Her forehead had a deep frown as she looked at the wide and long road. She could see nothing except grass on the side of the road, a long road, and the blue sky.
The house where Mo Chen had been taken to by Zhu Family was truly situated in an isolated place.
She wondered just how she would get out of this place with Mo Chen.
They could not just walk like this for the next few hours but she couldn't see any vehicle passing nearby. Her heart inside her chest was filled with fear.
Just when she starts to think that everything is getting fine, everything goes downhill at that moment.
Tears of frustration filled Mo Roulan's eyes. She was feeling very irritated. The pain in her body and leg, the hunger, and the desperation to leave the reach of Zhu family were taking a toll on her mind and body.
However, a rational part of her mind kept her reminded that she couldn't be weak at this moment.
"Jiejie, it hurts while walking, right?"
She heard Mo Chen suddenly and looked down at her brother who had been supporting her body for the past few moments.
"No, it's alright."
Mo Roulan forced a smile on her lips and told her brother.
"Lie!"
Mo Chen said firmly and Mo Roulan could only go silent in response.
Mo Chen felt very guilty. They continued walking for the next few moments and Mo Chen spoke again.
"Jiejie, I am sorry."
Mo Roulan didn't say anything. She knew very well why Mo Chen was apologizing. He had lied to their mother and then came to the forest trip.
When Mo Chen was about to speak again, Mo Roulan said suddenly
"Save your energy. We need to go a long way."
Mo Chen also went silent after hearing his words. One thing that he understood very well was that his sister was very angry at him.
But he was ready to face any kind of punishment.
The brother and sister accompanied each other in complete silence. However, it only lasted for a few seconds.
Mo Chen's eyes brightened when he saw a building a little far away.
"Jiejie, what is that?"
Mo Roulan followed the direction of Mo Chen's finger and saw a shabby building. It seemed to be completely deserted from the way it looks.
However, even if she found this deserted building, it was of no use.
Mo Roulan was stepping forward when Mo Chen held her hand firmly and said
"Jiejie, why don't you rest there for some time? We will continue walking after that."
Mo Roulan frowned and instantly shook her head. They were not far away from Zhu family's house. Although she had changed the password, Mo Roulan couldn't believe that Zhu Jidong and Xun Weilan would not have any other way of going out of the house.
She had just done it so that they could have more time to run away from that house.
"We can't."
Mo Roulan had just finished her words when she heard a familiar sound. After last night, she recognized the sound very well.
Her eyes were filled with panic and fear as she slowly turned around and looked around at the sky
There…just a little far away from them was a helicopter in the sky.
And it was getting closer to them with every passing second.
"Run…"
A whisper escaped from Mo Roulan's lips as her hold on the iron rod in her hand tightened. When she looked back at Mo Chen's face she saw that he looked more scared than her.
Mo Roulan swallowed audibly and pushed Mo Chen towards the shabby building.
"Run, Chenchen…hide inside there…somewhere they should not be able to find you. Run…"
She staggered with Mo Chen as she pushed him continuously to run ahead of her. However, Mo Chen refused to hear his sister at this moment.
He held her hand as he dragged her with him while saying
"No…Chechen will not leave …Jiejie alone."
He panted heavily as he stepped forward with Mo Roulan. His body didn't have that much strength left. However, the fear of what would happen if he got caught made him run fast with his sister.
"Jiejie, we will …find a place to hide….They won't ….be able to catch us."
Mo Chen said again while panting.
Mo Roulan shook her head. Mo Chen was just trying to assure her and himself. If they remained together, they will be caught very easily. With Mo Chen here, she won't be able to fight with Zhu Jidong and Xun Weilan.
She stopped walking and held Mo Chen's arm in a tight grip making him look at her.
"You need to run and hide inside that building."
She told him firmly. When Mo Chen shook his head and was about to say something, she didn't let him and continued sharply.
"Can you listen to me for once? We are here in this situation only because you didn't listen to me before."
Mo Chen's eyes went teary on hearing these words. Mo Roulan also felt very hurt. She cursed herself inside her heart for talking to her brother like this.
But she didn't have any other way to send him away.
"Now, Go…."
Pushing him forward she said again.
Mo Chen turned around to look at his sister once. His eyes were filled with big and fat tears but Mo Roulan's face remained cold as she stared at him and waited for him to leave.
In the end, the young child knew that he was nothing but a bother for his sister if he stayed here so he listened to her and ran ahead towards the building.
And just at this moment, the helicopter landed on the ground just a few steps away from where Mo Roulan was standing.
Mo Roulan turned her back towards the building. She just wished that by the time, they come out of the helicopter Mo Chen is already inside the building. She wished that they would never get to know that Mo Chen was inside the building.
But it was a stupid wish. After all, the only hiding place present at this moment was that shabby building.
Still, she was not ready to give up.
Her throat wobbled as she swallowed and tightened the grip on the iron rod in her hand.
It might be difficult but to save Mo Chen she would give her all.
