"Shao Jun!" Xu Nianyi's heart was tightly clenched together, she could clearly see the flash of pain on his face.
Shao Jun did not let go of his arms, but drew them even tighter. With all his strength supported on his right leg, he gritted his teeth and stood up, then continued to run deep into the woods ahead.
Because of the gunshot wound to his left leg, he was already running a beat slower, his steps were staggering, and his body's center of gravity was unstable.
When a person's leg is injured, they will instinctively transfer their weight to the other uninjured leg.
The bullet made a bullet hole with a diameter of two centimeters in Shao Jun's thigh. The violent running accelerated the blood gushing out. The bright red blood spewed out from the bullet hole like a volcanic eruption. It was left along the leg pants, and the next bloodstain was stained on the ground.
"Are you injured?!" Xu Nianyi didn't doubt, but was very sure.
In front of her, the man who was holding her sideways did not speak, his lips were tightly pressed, his face became extremely resolute, and he continued to run forward while dragging his injured body.
"You're injured, we can't run out if you're like this." She grabbed the front of his shirt and shouted hastily, "Put me down quickly, you might be able to get away by yourself!"
Just as he was speaking, the dozen or so people behind him were about to catch up.
The distance between more than 30 meters was shortened to less than 20 meters. Gunshots were heard one after another in the quiet mountain forest. The sound of firecrackers was endless, and countless bullets whizzed past them.
Facing the hail of bullets, Shao Jun still ran without changing his face, stubbornly refusing to let go.
Xu Nianyi looked into his eyes full of pleading: "I beg you to put me down, you are already injured, you can't run out like this, we will all die here!"
Rather than both of them dying here, it is better to live one as one.
"Don't let go!" Shao Jun, who was holding her, opened his mouth and squeezed out these two words from between his teeth.
At this moment, the blood on his face has gradually faded, and his lips have turned white. Not only did he not stop after being shot, but he ran vigorously while supporting his body, which would cause his body to lose a lot of blood.
Xu Nianyi couldn't imagine what the result would be if he continued running like this.
"Just treat it as me begging you, okay? Just let me go!" Her impatient tone was mixed with a tremor, and she desperately pushed Shao Jun away with her uninjured hand, wanting to get out of his arms. Jumped out, "If you insist on holding me like this, and let us both die together, you will be happy?! Does this make sense?"
"If I throw you here, you will die!" Shao Jun's voice was cold, but filled with anger, "Do you want to die here? Don't care about Lu Jingcheng, or your own mother?"
"..." Xu Nianyi was stunned immediately, stopped his rejecting hand, and looked at him mournfully.
If Shao Jun really lets go...she will die here. She could no longer see her mother, and she could not wash away her grievances, so she sought revenge from Lu Jingcheng and Xu Fei.
All the suffering she had suffered in prison for three years was for nothing.
However, if Shao Jun didn't let go, the two of them would die together. She was injured, which was already a drag. Throwing away her drag, with his skill, he should be able to get rid of the pursuit. But he just refused to let go, so he was shot and injured.
If he lost his life because of this, she would not rest in peace even if she really died.
She didn't struggle, and lay down in his arms softly, looking towards a cliff that slowly appeared in front of her eyes.
The cliff was only about ten meters wide, and the trees stopped abruptly when they reached the edge of the cliff.
Shao Jun also saw that cliff, turned his direction, and prepared to go around the cliff.
"Shao Jun." Seeing the approaching cliff in front of him, Xu Nianyi's restless heart suddenly calmed down. His eyes were as clear as water, he looked at his side face quietly, and asked softly, "If something happens to me and I can't fulfill the contract agreement, will you still help me take care of my mother?"
"Nonsense!" Shao Jun didn't care to lower his head to look at her, and spit out these two words out of breath.
The gunshots behind him were getting closer and closer, and he didn't need to look back. He could tell where the mafias were chasing after hearing the gunshots.
If I don't speed up to get rid of those people, I'm afraid I'm really going to die here.
"Answer me, will you take care of my mother?" She spoke faster and looked at him expectantly.
"Yes!" This time, without hesitation, without hesitation, it was almost Shao Jun who blurted out.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard his reply.
Although he just frowned slightly, he didn't show any pain. But she also knew how painful it was to be shot.
The feeling of being shot in the shoulder has been unforgettable to her bones. He was shot in the leg, but he still has to run with her as a burden, it must be ten times more painful.
Although he had tried his best to ignore the pain in his leg and acted like he was fine, he couldn't hide the paleness of his lips after losing blood.
She could clearly see that his lips were getting paler and paler, and even his arms were beginning to feel cool.
"Shao Jun, I am very grateful for all you have done to help me." In fact, she always knew that he had good intentions. However, after being cheated and hurt, she closed her heart. Deliberately resisting his kindness and help.
When she was willing to open her heart to accept his help, such a life-and-death matter happened.
It's too late to say anything now, she just wants to tell him the moment before parting: Thank God for allowing me to meet you again.
"What’s wrong with you?"
The man who was sprinting suddenly became aware of her strangeness, slowed down his pace, and subconsciously lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms, but saw her raise the corner of her mouth and reveal an extremely gentle smile. That smile was like the first ray of morning light passing through the darkness and tearing through the clouds to shine on the earth. It was bright and warm, shining brightly.
Shao Jun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the smile on her face was a bit dazzling. He didn't understand how she could still show such a smile under such circumstances.
This is the moment!
When Shao Jun was distracted, Xu Nianyi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he pushed hard on his chest with both hands. Under the action of inertia, she fell to the ground, and her injured shoulder hit the ground, causing heart-wrenching pain.
Without the slightest pause, she got up in a jiffy, opened her legs, and ran to the cliff ahead as fast as she could.
"What are you doing!"
Shao Jun sensed her intentions and followed closely after her. But the injury on his leg slowed him down a bit.
He quickly ran behind Xu Nianyi, wanting to grab her, and stretched out his arm quickly, but only touched the corner of her clothes.
Xu Nianyi, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, paused for the slightest, leaped unstoppably, and resolutely jumped off the cliff...
