As a few people approached, He An, who was drowsy with heavy eyelids, suddenly became alert.
He listened carefully for a moment before reaching out to Fu Yuling.
Fu Yuling also noticed the commotion outside and shook her head at them, signaling them to be quiet.
He Qiu and He Wen exchanged glances and saw the wariness in the other’s eyes.
As the people outside slowly entered, Fu Yuling stood up. She carefully lifted the blanket, moved to the window, and immediately closed the window latch.
After a while, the people outside reached the window and recalled what they had seen earlier.
“Did it close here just now?”
“Don’t talk. What if we wake them up?”
Another person slapped the speaker on the head, their deliberately lowered voice making it hard for him to get angry.
Hearing their conversation, Fu Yuling recalled the plot and wondered why anyone would be watching them.
Her first thought was of He Jingsi and his intention for her to leave.
While she was thinking, He Qiu had silently stood beside her, his small body focused on the outside just like her.
Fu Yuling felt a bit anxious, wondering how he had come over. She pulled He Qiu behind her and looked back at the bed. All that remained was a tangled mess of blankets, and the people on it had vanished without a trace.
When she found them, He Wen had already hidden with He Xuan and He An behind the door.
Especially He Wen, who held a kitchen knife in his hand, which he had somehow obtained.
!!!
Where did he get such a dangerous item?
Now wasn’t the time to dwell on that. The people outside were trying to open the window but found it locked and turned their attention to the door.
“Xiao Qiu, stay here and don’t move.”
After confirming that He Qiu nodded in agreement, Fu Yuling stealthily made her way toward the door.
He Xuan quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
As she entered, her mouth twitched.
She hadn’t seen it before, but now she noticed that He Xuan was holding scissors, and little He An had a round object in his hand, occasionally moving it around to spin it in his palm.
The small figure near the door sensed danger immediately and didn’t step forward.
“Wait, don’t go over.”
The strong one directly pushed him aside and said, “What are you waiting for? In this remote place, how could we run into those people from Jiang City?”
Moreover, they had already gathered information before coming. This family had only one woman with four children, making them the easiest targets.
Inside, He Wen turned to look at He Qiu who was standing by the window. He Qiu nodded in understanding and climbed out.
This scene went unnoticed by Fu Yuling.
So when she heard He Qiu speaking outside, she was particularly shocked and turned her head immediately. The person who had just promised to stand there obediently was now nowhere to be seen.
“Xiao Qiu!”
Fu Yuling’s spiritual energy was quite great.
But now, she dared not make too much noise. If the people outside heard her, it would be problematic.
“Uncle, what are you doing here?”
When Xiao Qiu spoke, not only was Fu Yuling startled, but so were the three people outside.
“Damn, when did you get here?”
The smaller guy was so shocked that he stumbled back and was caught by the silent person from earlier.
The group stared at He Qiu suspiciously. Fortunately, He Qiu’s appearance was quite deceptive, and for a moment, they didn’t know if the people inside were awake or not.
“Uncle, be quieter. Mom and the others are sleeping.”
Upon hearing this, they finally relaxed and felt glad that they were not discovered.
It was this little thing who made things difficult for several grown men.
