So, should she save him or not? Feng Chuxiao rubbed her forehead in thought.
This wasn't the apocalypse, and the child wouldn't be bait from the enemy. Therefore, she could still save him.
After making up her mind, she looked at her own weak little body, feeling a bit inadequate. She wondered how many people were on the other side? What was their combat strength? Could she win alone?
If she got injured, it would be a loss.
So she couldn't go empty-handed; it was time to use a weapon. Feng Chuxiao searched her space with her mind and found a handy club-ball bat. This thing would definitely be effective for hitting people.
Moreover, after using it, she could put it back in her space, and no one would know.
Since she had made up her mind, she would act immediately! But before acting, she needed to disguise herself. She took out a silk scarf and wrapped her entire head, leaving only her eyes visible.
Feng Chuxiao silently infiltrated the dilapidated courtyard, identified the positions of several kidnappers, and then began her operation.
She started with the person by the main door. This one was easy to handle. She crept up behind him, knocked him out with a blow from her bat, and dragged him outside the main door, planning to see if she could put him into her space.
Her space did not allow living people to enter, but she didn't know what the outcome would be for someone half-dead, so she wanted to try.
"Absorb!"
Nothing happened. Fine, then another hit.
"Absorb!"
Still nothing.
Feng Chuxiao sighed in disappointment. It seemed it wouldn't work.
Never mind, the main task was more important.
She re-entered the courtyard and knocked out two more people, but as she was about to enter the house, she was discovered.
"Who are you? How dare you come here seeking death!" a burly man growled in a low voice.
Oh my, so fierce. But Feng Chuxiao wasn't afraid. No one in the apocalypse or any zombie was fiercer than them. She approached the man, carrying her club-ball bat. "Your grandma is just passing by. I happened to witness an injustice today, so I'm here to uphold justice!"
"Hmph!"
Seeing this weak woman so ignorant of her own limitations, the burly man swung his fist towards Feng Chuxiao's head!
Feng Chuxiao didn't retreat. Instead, she raised her club-ball bat to meet him. How could a fist contend with a bat? Thus, the overconfident strong man had his wrist broken by this blow.
At this moment, she had to press her advantage. Feng Chuxiao raised her bat again and swung it at the strong man's head. She hit him several times before finally connecting.
After the strong man fainted, Feng Chuxiao sensed again and found that there were no adults left inside, only the crying child.
Fortunately, it was like this. If there had been two more tall, strong men, she might have been at a disadvantage.
She confidently put her club-ball bat into her space and then entered the room to find the child.
The kidnapped boy was clearly not ordinary. He was even wearing a small suit and a small tie. However, his clothes were now dirty and torn, there was a slap mark on one side of his face, and tears hung under his long eyelashes.
"Hey, little friend, wake up."
Feng Chuxiao called out twice but he didn't wake up, so she directly pinched him awake.
When the little boy opened his eyes and saw Feng Chuxiao, although he was surprised, he didn't seem afraid.
"Oh my, so calm. Then why were you crying so hard just now?"
The little boy blushed slightly, then sat up and secretly glanced towards the doorway. Seeing no bad people, he whispered, "Sister, are you here to save me? Where are those bad people? How did you get in?"
"Little friend, why do you think I'm here to save you? Don't you think I'm a bad person?" Feng Chuxiao asked.
"You don't look like a bad person at all, and you probably can't be a bad person," the little boy said, looking at the scrawny Feng Chuxiao.
He could still read people. Her fingers were calloused, and she was all skin and bones; it was clear she came from a poor family.
This was only one reason. The second was that this young lady in front of him had no malice in her eyes.
Being discriminated against, Feng Chuxiao pinched his nose and then stood up. "Let's go."
"Sister, don't rush to leave." The little boy, however, held Feng Chuxiao back.
Feng Chuxiao turned back in surprise. "Do you not know where we are? Why aren't you in a hurry to leave? If more people come, we might not be able to leave."
Because she had learned from the conversation of those few people that their boss was not here, and that was their most formidable person.
The little boy didn't explain but pulled her into the inner room and whispered, "Sister, I'm grateful you came to save me, so I want to give you a reward."
Feng Chuxiao was even more surprised. What was this child up to? But she followed him into the inner room and saw five handbags on the broken bed.
The little boy pointed at the boxes and said, "These boxes were stolen from my home. I'll give you one now. You can pick it yourself."
Feng Chuxiao was dumbfounded. This child was truly a young master from a wealthy family.
These kidnappers not only kidnapped this child but also stole his belongings. However, the child hadn't realized the situation yet; he no longer had control over these things.
These boxes were all handbags. Could it be that the child's family was also preparing to flee?
"Are you really willing to give me a box?" Feng Chuxiao asked cooperatively.
"Yes, it's your reward for saving me. Hurry and take it," the little boy urged.
Feng Chuxiao's eyes darted around. These boxes must contain good things, but since they were stolen by the kidnappers, they no longer belonged to the little boy. Therefore, she wanted to take everything here.
"Okay, you stand by the door and keep watch. I'll open them to see what's inside, and then I'll choose one."
The little boy was quite obedient and turned to face the doorway. Feng Chuxiao very quickly opened four of the boxes, put the contents into her space, and quickly closed the boxes again.
To the little boy, this time was just the blink of an eye.
"We have to leave now," Feng Chuxiao said, carrying one box.
The little boy stopped talking. The two of them quickly walked out of the room, and then Feng Chuxiao pulled him and ran back the way she came.
Only when she saw the main road did Feng Chuxiao stop. She bid farewell to the little boy. "Little friend, you're safe now that we're on the main road, so let's part ways here."
Seeing that she was about to leave and no longer intended to escort him, the little boy revealed his name. "Sister, my name is Qin Yuzhi. We'll meet again if fate allows."
Feng Chuxiao was already starving, her stomach rumbling. She just wanted to eat and didn't want to say anything else. She just waved her hand, telling Qin Yuzhi to hurry and leave.
Qin Yuzhi looked back at Feng Chuxiao again, then quickly ran towards his destination, which was a bus parked across the road.
Feng Chuxiao watched him get on the bus and thought that the child was quite smart. Most people nowadays were kind-hearted, and he would indeed be safe on the bus.
Then she walked back a short distance, checked that no one was around, threw the box in her hand into her space, and walked out again.
