Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 567 Run, Run!

Lin Chang'er opened her eyes wide, and before she could even react, she said, "Liu Zi, you're fast on your feet, hurry up and go find out what's going on in town."

Liu Zi didn't hesitate and immediately jumped off the cart shaft. "Boss, I'll go right now."

Seeing that he was heading towards the town, Lin Chang'er quickly took out a signal flare from her sleeve and lit it with a tinderbox.

As the dazzling fireworks burst in the sky, she quickly carried the two children, one in each arm, to Chen Ming's carriage. "Chen Ming, you've traveled this road to the village several times, you should remember it. I wonder what happened in town. You take your younger siblings back to the village first, I'll stay here to gather information. If you encounter any of the coastal defense team members on the way, please tell them."

Chen Ming paused, feeling naturally unwilling for his aunt to be in danger, but knowing he couldn't stop her, he wanted to stay and help.

However, he also knew that his aunt had her own reasons for making such arrangements, and with his mediocre skills, he probably wouldn't be of much help. It would be better to follow his aunt's arrangements and send his sister-in-law to the Gu family first.

It's only a short distance from the town to the village; who knows, the coastal defense team might still be mustering troops when he gets there!

If he comes to help again then, his aunt won't be able to say anything to him.

Having made up his mind, Chen Ming didn't waste any words and pulled his younger brother and sister-in-law into the carriage, one in each hand. "I'll listen to my aunt. Be careful, aunt."

Lin Chang'er nodded and instructed the driver to continue on their way.

The carriage carrying the wet nurse naturally followed.

After their carriage disappeared into the night, Lin Chang'er looked around, took out a part from the carriage wall, and hid the two horses that were accompanying the carriage in the grove of trees by the roadside.

The carriage was prepared by her eldest brother, and the two horses were the ones she and Liu Zi rode when they went into the city. On the way back, she told them to follow the carriage.

At this moment, she no longer recognized the carriage but the person. She didn't follow Chen Ming and the others' carriage, but stayed behind with her.

After hiding the vehicle, Lin Chang'er estimated that Liu Zi should be back by now, given his speed.

To her surprise, instead of the person returning, two fireworks exploded in the sky above the town.

Lin Chang'er gazed at the sky where the fireworks were scattered. Two fireworks meant it was urgent, but she didn't know what had happened in the town.

At this moment, Lin Chang'er felt a little nostalgic for the cell phones of later generations, how convenient it was to communicate anytime!

However, circumstances did not permit it, so Lin Chang'er did not stay and wait there any longer, and headed towards the town under the moonlight.

Once she entered the town, the scene became even more vivid: the fire had started at the end of the usually busiest shopping street and was now spreading towards the street entrance...

The town's residents ran around the streets crying and shouting like headless flies. Some wanted to help put out the fire, but were pulled away by their families in a panic.

From the depths of the flames, cries for help grew even louder.

Lin Chang'er grabbed an elderly man who was running away without thinking, "Grandpa, what happened?"

The old man seemed terrified, shaking off Lin Chang'er's hand while shouting, "The Rakshasa is coming! The Rakshasa is coming! Run! Run!"

With a sudden burst of strength, he pushed Lin Chang'er aside and ran out of the town.

Lin Chang'er frowned, walking deeper into the firelight while looking for an opportunity to find out what had happened.

"Boss..." Just then, a shop on the left side of the street suddenly opened a crack, and a familiar figure peeked out from inside—it was a waiter from Sihai Restaurant.

Just as she was dozing off, a pillow appeared. Lin Chang'er hurried over and slipped into the shop.

Without waiting for the shop assistant to close the door, he asked, "What happened in town? The houses outside are all on fire, why are you still hiding inside?"
