But in that instance, when the two grown men were too scared to move, and Fu Hao Xin had been a beat slow to react, there was one person who had been watching the entire situation carefully the entire time and reacted at the first instant.
Seeing the man charge at Fu Hao Xin and Fu Hao Xin's stunned expression, Aunty Wu's heart tightened, and she suddenly did something that even surprised her. Moving just a moment after the man, she ran and hugged Fu Hao Xin while pushing him to the side.
*Ka-cha*
The knife struck a long red gash on Aunty Wu's back, cutting almost three inches deep at the apex of the slash before the hand holding the knife lost its force and wobbled, creating an ugly zig-zag as the knife's cut trailed off to Aunty Wu's waist.
Shaking, the man holding the knife shook his head and wailed with a tremble in his voice, "No, no, no! It, it, it was supposed to be the boy. The f*cking wild boy who cursed us."
