"Ninny, it's really you..."
The female voice on the opposite side suddenly became unable to calm down, her voice was weak, but she spoke quickly, "Ninny, where are you?"
"囡囡" is a nickname given to little girls in Ji Xiaoou's hometown, and it also means "baby".
Ji Xiaoou was still in great shock, raised his eyes to look around the wooden house, and replied: "I, I am... a far away place..."
Ji Xiaoou's mother asked: "Far away? Are there any signs nearby? Who are you with now?"
Ji Xiaoou was taken aback, "I..." Can she say that she is with an orc? Will mom believe it
The signal on the other end of the phone suddenly weakened, full of noise, as if it would disappear in the next second, Ji Xiaoou grabbed the phone and hurriedly said: "Mom, I'm fine now, I'm not in danger... You and Dad don't worry..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of "boom!" on the other end of the phone, and Ji Xiaoou's mother's voice disappeared, replaced by the irregular "di, di" sound of the ECG monitor, and the continuous footsteps.
The last voice was the nurse calling the doctor:
"The patient in bed 3 is emotionally unstable, call Dr. Li quickly!"
Then, all sounds were completely interrupted, leaving only a series of cold blind tones on the other end of the phone.
…
Ji Xiaoou stayed where he was, his mind was in chaos.
Mom is in the hospital
Why are you hospitalized
Is it sick or what
Ji Xiaoou controlled his trembling hands and dialed the number just now, but the signal of the mobile phone was cut off, and the call could not be made at all.
Ji Xiaoou didn't give up, and tried several times, until the last bit of battery was completely exhausted, and the phone turned off automatically.
The few seconds when she was connected just now seemed to be her hallucination.
But Ji Xiaoou knew it wasn't.
Mother's voice came from that end clearly, very familiar, just like the countless conversations with her before.
Ji Xiaoou stood up suddenly, found a Swiss Army knife from his backpack, went to the door, and tried to pry open the wooden door lock.
However, as soon as he reached the door, the door was pushed open from the outside without warning, and a pair of long legs stepped in.
The cold wind outside the house blows in, wrapping with thin rain.
Ryan's shoulders and body were wet, and his boots were soaked in mud.
Looking down, seeing the cold blade in Ji Xiaoou's hand, his voice paused for a moment, and he asked, "What are you doing?"
Ji Xiaoou put away the blade in panic, and explained: "You locked the door, I can't go out..."
"Going out in the rainy season is prone to danger." Ren closed the door and took off his leather jacket while talking.
Before entering the door, he had already thrown all the prey into the kitchen, but the bloody smell on his body could not be washed away in the future.
Ren has a good figure. After taking off his clothes, he has broad shoulders and narrow waist, a straight back, and strong muscles in his lower abdomen.
He seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday, passed Ji Xiaoou, and reached out to pick up another leather jacket.
But Ji Xiaoou couldn't forget, especially after getting through the phone call just now and learning that her mother was hospitalized.
Ji Xiaoou moved his eyes, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Ren, I have something to discuss with you."
Ren changed his clothes slightly, as if he knew what she was going to say, with a calm voice, "Sorry, I don't want to."
Ji Xiaoou hung his head, regardless of his refusal, he said, "My mother is sick... I don't know if it's serious or not, I want to go back and see her."
Having said that, she had a bad intuition in her heart.
Her mother has always been in good health, and the school organizes regular inspections every year. How can she say that she is sick when she is sick
Ren finally looked at her, fixed, his blue eyes bottomless, "How to go back?"
Ji Xiaoou pursed his lower lip, "Go to the eastern part of Bornia and find Pat."
"As I said, there are beasts of many races on the road."
"I have gunpowder." Ji Xiaoou said, raising his dark eyes with unshakable determination hidden in them, "And... I have many things that you don't have." These things are enough for her to survive on this continent .
"So, after you go back, will you come back?" Ren's voice was hoarse, and he said every word from his throat.
Ji Xiaoou was stunned for a moment.
She never considered the question of coming back. Will she come back after going back
How come back? Why do you want to come back
Although there was no answer, Ji Xiaoou's reaction revealed her heart.
Ren closed his eyes, opened them again, and said cruelly, "So my answer is, no."
Ji Xiaoou's face turned pale, and the moment he was shaken, he remembered his mother gently calling her "Ninny" on the other end of the phone.
Her phone hadn't been turned on for a long time, but today she accidentally turned it on and received a call from her mother.
Ji Xiaoou could hardly imagine how many times his mother had called her, how many times he had experienced despair, and still pressed her number so persistently.
Because of this, she couldn't convince herself to stay here.
If she misses her mother because of this, she will regret herself for the rest of her life.
In the second half of the night, the rain gradually subsided, and there was still no light outside the window, and the entire valley seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black cloth.
Ji Xiaoou opened his eyes, reached out and carefully took off Ren's arm on her waist.
However, Ren hugged him too tightly. She tried several times without success.
…
In the end, Ji Xiaoou tried his best to escape from Ren's arms.
She dressed, packed her things, and took out a raincoat from the space, without making a sound from beginning to end.
Just as she walked to the door, opened it, and was about to step out, a pair of arms wrapped around her waist from behind, picked her up, and walked towards the bed without any explanation.
Ji Xiaoou was put on the bed, his eyes widened in astonishment, looking at Ren above his head, "Why do you..."
when did he wake up
Ren didn't give her a chance to speak, clasped her hands with his palms, and leaned over to bite her trembling lips fiercely.
Since he couldn't wait for her acceptance, he had no choice but to snatch it.
Ren pried open her teeth, broke into her mouth, and went on a rampage.
This kiss was not tender at all. Compared with his previous one, it was less loving and compassionate, and more brutal.
As if to chew her up, destroy, devour her.
"Oh, don't..." Ji Xiaoou turned his cheeks away, trying to avoid his intimacy.
It's a pity that Ren didn't listen to her words, bit her lower lip, and at the same time, his nails scratched the raincoat on her body.
Ji Xiaoou trembled all over, as if he had a premonition of what was going to happen next.
Outside the window, there was the sound of rain and thunder.
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck through the window, briefly illuminating the scene inside the house.
The tall male was pressing on the girl, wrapping her two slender long legs around her waist, ready to attack deeply.
…
Suddenly, Ren's movements stopped abruptly.
The air is silent, only the slight sound of electric current flowing.
"Zi, zi -"
Ji Xiaoou held the electric shock baton in both hands, pressed it against Ren's neck, bit his lower lip tightly, and looked at him without blinking.
Ren's eyes rolled slightly, and her appearance was reflected in his dark blue pupils. He didn't seem to expect her actions, and the arm placed by her side raised slightly, wanting to touch her.
Ji Xiaoou panicked, thinking that he was going to continue to force her, immediately increased the current intensity of the electric shock rod, and stabbed at his neck again.
The electric shock from the electric shock rod was so strong that it flowed into every corner of the body.
Ren's pupils were slack, but he still stared at her, baring his teeth, as if trying to see her through.
Finally, the body lightened and fell straight down.
The mountain road is muddy and it is difficult to move an inch.
Ji Xiaoou held up his trousers, stepping forward step by step through the mud.
The pattering raindrops fell and hit her eyelashes, she rubbed them with her hands, and by the thin moonlight, she could see the surrounding terrain clearly.
Surrounded by dense forests, the night is low and there is no sound.
Ji Xiaoou planned to find a nearby cave to settle down first, and then find a way to leave this valley after dawn.
A jerky pain in her legs made her walk even slower.
The moment Ren entered her, she took out the electric shock baton from the space in desperation, and stabbed him hard.
Although she didn't go in, she pushed against the entrance firmly, as if trying to tear her body apart.
That kind of Ren is very strange.
Until now, in her mind is the last time Renn saw her before he fell into a coma.
Deep, sullen, like a dying beast.
Ji Xiaoou suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyelids drooped, his eyes sore and swollen.
I'm sorry... sorry, Ryan.
She didn't treat him that way on purpose, and there was nothing she could do.
She wants to go home, wants to know how her mother's condition is, and wants to go back and see her parents.
"Little poor, why are you crying? Did Ren's leopard abandon you?" A voice suddenly sounded.
Ji Xiaoou raised his eyes in surprise, looked around, and saw a tall gray wolf following him.
Gray Wolf's eyes glowed faintly green in the night, staring straight at her.
As soon as Ji Xiaoou's heartbeat stopped, he quickly took two steps back, reached out to take out the prepared gunpowder from the backpack behind him, and was about to ignite the fuse.
"Don't worry, poor boy, it's me."
The next moment, the other party turned into a human form, raised his hands, and looked at her thoughtfully.
With a familiar face, a loose tone, and a tall figure, it was Holden.
Ji Xiaoou didn't relax, staring at him closely, "Why is it you again?" She clearly avoided the territory of the wolf tribe, why did she still meet him
Holden licked his teeth and said cooperatively: "This proves that we are destined to meet each other no matter where we go."
Ji Xiaoou was in a low mood and didn't have the heart to joke with him at all, so he raised the gunpowder in his hand, "Don't come here."
Holden stopped on the spot obediently, looked Ji Xiaoou up and down with lowered eyes.
With reddish eye sockets, wet trousers, and muddy shoes, the whole person is pitiful and stubborn.
"Why did you run out at night, that fellow Renn treated you badly?"
Ji Xiaoou said stiffly, "It's none of your business."
"Exactly, my race is ahead, do you want to go back with me? The wolves are reluctant to let a female run away from home at night." Holden invited, seemingly genuinely.
Ji Xiaoou didn't appreciate it, "Don't follow me anymore, or I will be rude to you."
Holden glanced at the black gunpowder in Ji Xiaoou's hand, it was this inconspicuous thing that seriously injured dozens of his clansmen.
His eyes darkened, but his face remained calm, he stepped back obediently, "Okay, okay, I won't follow you."
Seeing that he really didn't follow, Ji Xiaoou continued walking.
At this time, the rain was much less, and after being covered by the green leaves of the forest, the falling raindrops were pattering.
This place is full of jungle, and there is no cave to stay in.
Ji Xiaoou walked for an hour, his calf was sore and numb, he glanced at his watch, it was four o'clock in the morning, and it was dawn soon.
The girl faltered, walking slower and slower.
Not far behind her, a gray wolf followed unhurriedly.
The gray wolf shuttled between the forests, looking at the girl's back, its dark green pupils did not miss any of her movements.
At around 4:20, Ji Xiaoou couldn't bear it anymore, so he took out the climbing rope from the space and climbed to the nearest big tree.
Even though canines can't climb trees, Ji Xiaoou still climbed a certain distance for safety's sake.
With his head against the tree trunk, perhaps because he was too tired, as soon as he closed his eyes, Ji Xiaoou fell into a deep sleep.
…
Holden stopped outside a few trees. Seeing the girl fell asleep, he also got down on the ground.
He's not in a hurry, Holden thought, Ryan had abandoned her, and sooner or later she would agree to go to his race.
At dawn the next day, Holden straightened his limbs, jumped onto the nearest decayed tree trunk, and looked towards the distant tree.
However, when he saw the scene on the tree clearly, he paused.
It was sunny after the rain, and the wind was warm.
The rain left over from yesterday slipped through the veins of the leaves and fell into the puddles on the trees, making a "ding dong".
The glare of the sun pierced through the lush green leaves, casting circles of mottled halos on the ground.
Everything is still the same as before, except the girl who sat on the tree last night disappeared.
Holden didn't rest all night last night, just to prevent Ji Xiaoou from leaving him and running away secretly.
How did he disappear without seeing her coming down from the tree
Holden searched around, but to no avail. The girl evaporated without any reason like a drop of water remaining on a leaf.
City S.
Central hospital.
The sun is sunny and the wind is smooth.
The green grass below the inpatient department, many patients in hospital gowns are walking downstairs, in twos and threes, the atmosphere is warm.
Upstairs, one of the wards.
The sunlight passes through the transparent glass and casts on the snow-white sheets by the window.
The girl on the bed had black hair and snow skin, delicate features, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she was restless even when she was asleep.
There was an abnormal blush on her cheeks, and one hand was exposed, with a transparent needle inserted into the back of the hand.
A nurse in a white uniform pushed the door in, touched her forehead with her hand, took her temperature with a thermometer, and walked out again.
The moment the door slammed, the girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes, rolled her eyes slowly, and looked around.
The eyes were all white, and the sun fell on her body, which was so warm that it was dazzling.
Ji Xiaoou slowly turned his gaze to one side, staring blankly at the tall buildings outside the window, unable to recover for a long time.
