The child's shoulders were trembling, and the old lady's back was so tense it was erect, while the brain buzzed and the sound of the dog's growl grew nearer.
"Go away! Don't come over!" Liu Li shouted, her voice quivering. It seemed as if the wind had stopped downstairs and only her heart was pounding like a drum.
The dog pounced to the side of the bamboo chair, its claws scratching at the chair legs. The old lady hid the child behind her and moved forward.
Seeing her frail shoulders, Liu Li was so anxious that tears were about to fall. She didn't know what to do, so she could only shout repeatedly, "Damn dog! Go away!"
"Where is everyone? Why is there no one around here? Where's the security? The dog's owner? Other people?"
At this time, the child began to wail loudly.
And just then, the dog suddenly launched an attack without any warning. Its first pounce was kicked away by the old lady.
It staggered on the spot and then continued to pounce.
The child cried even louder.
