The girl ran much faster than Dong Zheng imagined, chasing her looming figure all the way, Dong Zheng didn't know how far they ran out. After all, the physical strength of the child is not as good as that of the adult, and soon her speed gradually slowed down, and Dong Zheng rushed up and chased her.
"Don't run, we are not bad people!" Dong Zheng grabbed the girl's thin arm and grabbed her. The girl immediately screamed, as if it was not a human being who was holding her, but a monster with extreme fear that could kill her Same.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Dong Zheng tried his best to appease the girl, but the girl was still struggling and screaming. Dong Zheng realized that she was a cannibal and couldn't understand himself.
How to do this? He doesn't speak Persian either.
At the time of embarrassment, Ren Heming also chased after him, panting and holding the trunk to stop, squatting down to the side of the girl who was struggling and almost out of strength, so he could only bite on Dong Zheng's arm, and whispered to her sentence what.
Dong Zheng: ...
This string of unfamiliar murmurs came from Ren Heming's mouth, the girl's teeth on Dong Zheng's arm gradually loosened, she stared at Ren Heming, trembling with fear. Dong Zheng gasped in pain silently. Although his clothes were separated, he felt like he was about to bleed.
Ren Heming saw that the girl was already willing to listen to him, so he pursued the victory and continued to communicate with the girl.
The girl sobbed and spoke to Ren Heming in a low voice, her voice was barely audible.
Ren Heming talked to her like this, and exchanged glances with Dong Zheng. Dong Zheng let go of the girl's hand. He rolled up his sleeves and looked at it. There was a tooth mark on his forearm, and there was no bleeding.
The girl was dressed in a red dress that was too large for her, and her bare feet were covered with mud and sand. Ren Heming chatted with her for a while, and the girl gradually stopped sobbing.
Dong Zheng didn't understand what the two of them said at all. In fact, he was a little surprised that Ren Heming could speak Persian. There seemed to be many secrets that he had not figured out from his senior brother Mao Shan.
The conversation lasted for five or six minutes, and finally Ren Heming nodded and hugged the girl in his arms. His panting from running hadn't completely calmed down, so he wiped her dirty feet with his flying fish suit.
"She is the child who was sacrificed to the devil by the village and wanted to stop the plague." Ren Heming said to Dong Zheng, "The team that sent her up the mountain seemed to encounter something in the middle, so she ran away."
"Then what are we going to do now? Send her back to the village?" Dong Zhengdao said, "But if the village is infected with the plague, sending her back is also a death sentence, not to mention that the villagers still want to sacrifice her."
"But we can't take her with us." Ren Heming sighed, he looked into Dong Zheng's eyes, and said seriously, "Seventh, we have official business, and after chasing her for so long, we haven't even seen the shadow of the evil spirit. , bringing her to her family now is the best option."
Ren Heming is right, Dong Zheng has always been very rational, and what they just thought was just a consideration. They returned to the place where they first met the girl, took the horse that was still there, and went to find the trail of the village.
Although the merchants repeatedly advised them not to go there, they had to find a place to settle the poor child.
Ren Heming let the girl sit on the back of his horse. He and Dong Zheng led the horse and walked slowly through the forest. Dong Zheng walked in front, using an embroidered spring knife to open the way, and chatted with Ren Heming from time to time.
They need to get on the right track as soon as possible.
The girl on the horse has been very quiet. She couldn't understand the conversation between the two. She remembered the agreement that Ren Heming would bring her home, and firmly grasped the reins.
"I didn't expect that the senior brother would still be a big eater. I didn't even know it before, where did the senior brother learn it?"
Chatting and chatting, Dong Zheng began to test Ren Heming, looked back at him, and was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Ren Heming looked at a loss, and found that Dong Zheng didn't seem to be looking at him, and he turned his head.
At some point in time, the horseback was empty.
Ren Heming: ? ?
Ren Heming: ! ! !
What about people? ! ? ! ? !
Dong Zheng: "Did you not feel when she disappeared?"
"No." Ren Heming had a question mark on his forehead, he touched the saddle, and there was still temperature on it, "I asked her two minutes ago if she was thirsty and wanted to drink water, and she gave me a reply, why is it a blink of an eye? gone?"
The girl disappeared so suddenly that neither Dong Zheng nor Ren Heming noticed. Ren Heming shouted the girl's name loudly for a while, but didn't hear any reply. They searched around several times, but there was no trace.
There were no footprints on the road, and there were no traces of grass being stepped on anywhere except the road they walked.
It's like the world has evaporated.
"Well, it looks like we can't find her anymore." Ren Heming sighed, both of them feeling a little heavy. They walked forward another distance, passing through the shaded trees, not far from the village built on the mountain, with obvious characteristics of the food country, everything looked so ordinary, but there was no voice at all.
No, not only human voices, but also the voices of livestock and birds.
After a lot of effort, they finally found the village, but the girl disappeared.
"Do you still want to go?" Ren Heming asked with a wry smile.
Dong Zheng frowned and whispered:

The author has something to say: In this chapter, I originally translated the Persian dialogue and copied it in the text. As a result, it will become garbled if I can't recognize it and refresh it, so I can only delete the ORZ.
