"Su He, run! They're coming to kill us! There are too many of them!"
Auntie Red's voice rang out in the distance, sharp enough to pierce their eardrums.
Su He's heart clenched. Before she could react, she saw Auntie Red racing toward her like a gust of wind.
Her face filled with terror, Auntie Red rushed up to Su He, grabbed her hand, and dragged her away, running for all she was worth.
