A sharp voice broke the silence of the night.
Wu Ning felt someone approaching, and then a hand was placed on his forehead. About three seconds later, a familiar voice echoed in his ears.
"Ning'er, Ning'er, wake up!"
This familiar voice has always been so gentle, but now, there is some uneasiness and urgency in the voice.
Wu Ning finally opened his eyes, and a familiar face was shaking in front of him. When he saw the other person's appearance clearly, he suddenly sat up from the bed.
But when he sat up straight, he forgot what he was thinking about just now, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
"Mom...what's wrong?"
Although he was woken up from his sleep, Wu Ning was not dissatisfied.
He remembered that he seemed to have had a very unpleasant dream just now, but he could no longer remember the specific content of the dream.
Suddenly, Wu Ning noticed something strange.
It was still midnight, but my mother didn't turn on the light when she entered her room. Only through the moonlight outside the window could she see clearly that the person in front of her was her mother.
The Wu family is considered a big family in Shicheng. Although the domestic economic situation has not been very good in recent years, they are not even reluctant to turn on the lights, right?
At this moment, Wu Ning saw another figure flashing outside. They must be members of the Wu family, because Wu Ning heard many familiar voices.
Just when the mother wanted to talk, there was a sudden explosion outside.
It was like something fell from a high altitude and then shattered into pieces.
Although he didn't know what was happening outside, he already had an inexplicable fear in this environment.
"Mom, what's going on outside?" Wu Ning's voice trembled slightly.
The mother did not answer immediately, but gently touched her son's forehead.
In the darkness, Wu Ning could barely see his mother's face, but he couldn't see the look in her eyes at that moment.
"It's okay, there's just a burglar in the house." Mother said gently, "Quick, get up."
Wu Ning was a little confused and had already been pulled up from the bed by his mother.
"Mom, how could there be stealing... Where is my dad? If there is stealing, where is my dad? Where are Uncle Zhao and the others?"
Although Wu Ning is still young, he is not stupid. What kind of thief is he? If he dares to come to Wu's house to steal, isn't he hanging himself and seeking death?
"Don't ask so many questions yet, don't worry, nothing will happen." Her mother's voice was still gentle, and there was no urgency in her tone. She pulled Wu Ning to the wall, then stretched out her hand and moved away. The cabinet was then kicked violently.
The original wall suddenly became like a drawer, and a small cabinet slid out, just enough for Wu Ning to curl up inside.
"Quick, go in, wait until the thief is driven away, and then come out." Mother said.
"Mom, I don't...I want to find my dad!"
"Good boy, listen to mom and go in first. It won't be long. Don't be afraid." The mother held Wu Ning's arm tightly and wouldn't let him leave.
Wu Ning already had a feeling that something bad had happened.
Although he didn't know what was going on, his feelings of anxiety and uneasiness were getting stronger and stronger.
Seeing Wu Ning still struggling, his mother suddenly raised her hand and slapped him in the face.
The strength is controlled just right, making it confusing but not nerve-wracking.
This slap made the emotional Wu Ning calm down instantly.
"Ning'er, be good, be obedient, and hurry in." Mother's mood gradually became a little uneasy. The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and from time to time, she could still hear a few sharp sword sounds.
Under her mother's pressure, Wu Ning huddled back into the "cabinet". Her mother breathed a sigh of relief, then kicked her foot gently, and the cabinet slid into the wall again. It was a perfect fit, and even the patterns were completely consistent with the wall. .
But if you look carefully, you will find that there is a hole on the surface. Through this hole, Wu Ning can still see the situation outside.
After doing all this, the mother seemed to let out a long sigh of relief.
"Ning'er, don't be afraid, you will be fine soon." He could hear his mother's gentle voice, "Remember, from now on, no matter what happens, don't make any sound, otherwise... Mom and Dad will not want you! "
Hearing such threats, Wu Ning had no choice but to remain quiet.
Then, I saw my mother walking towards the door.
But when the door just opened, a black shadow rushed towards my mother.
Fortunately, my mother is also a martial arts practitioner, so she reacts quickly and dodges the opponent's attack sideways. In the darkness, the light of the sharp blade is particularly dazzling.
Then, the mother had no time to close the door, so that the other party could fight. At first, they were still in the corridor, and then moved to the courtyard. Lights were shining everywhere, and figures were shaking at the door. It seemed that more and more people were moving towards this Edges gather.
Wu Family Courtyard Zheng
It was already chaos.
The mother seemed to have thought of something. She glanced into the house again, then suddenly turned and left. The man who fought with the mother also followed quickly with a knife.
"Mom...Mom..." Wu Ning's voice was very loud. Just now he could see his mother's figure through the hole, but now he couldn't see anything.
About a minute later, the noise outside was getting louder and louder, and the shouts of killing were deafening. A familiar figure appeared. He was the captain of the Wu family's guard. He had been with the Wu family for twenty years. Wu Ning had been They all call each other Uncle Zhao, and they don’t know what their other names are.
Just when Uncle Zhao walked to the door, suddenly a black shadow fell down. The opponent waved a knife in his hand and chopped off Uncle Zhao's head.
The round head just happened to fly into the room, and blood sprayed out.
Wu Ning almost couldn't help but scream out, but fortunately he covered his mouth in time.
Uncle Zhao's face was covered with blood, and his eyes were wide open, staring right at him. A chill rushed straight to his brain, and Wu Ning's body was shaking uncontrollably.
He just knew it.
This is definitely not as simple as a burglary at home!
However, Uncle Zhao was considered a master in the Wu family, so how could he be killed with a knife?
What is the origin of the other party?
At this moment, the murderer of Uncle Zhao slowly turned his face.
The bright moonlight fell on his face, and the silver mask shone brightly.
He could only bite his hand desperately, not daring to make a sound. The fear in his heart had completely swallowed up his entire soul.
In a trance.
The air blown in through the holes is smelly.
…
Sword Bearer's Office.
In the room where Wu Ning temporarily stayed.
Gu Yuan hurried over with the Demon of Ingestion, and Zhang Chuan had been waiting for a long time.
"Master Gu, something is wrong with Wu Ning's situation. He can't be woken up..."
Gu Yuan looked at Wu Ning lying on the bed. He was covered in sweat and his expression was twisted, as if he was experiencing some kind of devastation.
