Zheng Tan felt that it must be due to lack of energy and less activity recently, and he felt tired after climbing the stairs. After jumping upstairs with alternating force on both legs, the muscles on the legs still hurt a little. It is estimated that I pulled too hard just now. Fortunately, I didn't have cramps, otherwise I would roll down the stairs.
Without taking a break, Zheng Tan ran to the door where Xiao Jiu was closed, looked at the keyhole of the door lock, and then looked at the key, fortunately, there was only one that seemed to fit the keyhole, and it didn't take a while. Try it all, save a lot of effort.
Picking out the key and holding it with one of its paws, the cat that had just jumped the stairs used its hind legs again and jumped up, hooking the doorknob with its paw without the key. The key is more complicated than the wooden door key of Jiao's house, and Zheng Tan inserted it a few times before inserting it.
inside the room.
Xiao Jiu was lying on the iron frame bed in the room, staring at the light coming in from the window, in a daze.
The window was sealed by the anti-theft net, and the window was also sealed, so it was impossible to open it. Even if she shouted for help here, people outside the house might not be able to hear it, but would attract those people outside the door. Xiao Jiu had seen many people in the village, and she could feel the dangerous aura about them. So she behaved well all the way.
When she first arrived, these people drew a tube of blood on her arm, as if to send it to the buyer for "inspection". These days, every time they come in, they give food away, for fear that she will lose weight because of hunger. Sometimes Xiao Jiu feels like a pig, and she will sell it for a good price after feeding it fat.
Although she has only been in the first grade of primary school and doesn't know much about books, she is far from being as naive as other children in the village.
Her hearing is actually stronger than many children in the village, perhaps because she often goes out to find food. Therefore, even through a door, she could vaguely hear some of the things those people said. She didn't know anything about blood type, she only knew that she was going to be sold because of this.
Every time she woke up, Xiao Jiu would think of the house in the village that was leaking from all sides.
The alienation and indifference between sisters, the different attitudes of parents towards their children, coupled with her own personality reasons, resulted in an accumulation of contradictions, but even so, even if she was often beaten all over her body, even if the family had a formal bed Even if she didn't sleep, Xiao Jiu would still go home. Kinship is a strange thing.
But this time, the conflict has intensified, and Xiaojiu's fluke and expectations have disappeared.
An old lady in the village once told her that people must have faith so that they can support them through difficulties. Xiao Jiu didn't think that before, now that she is locked in this ten-level room, she hopes that she has faith. But what exactly is faith? She is still vague about the concept of the word.
Xiaojiu looked around, and her eyes fell on the bag of candy on the table.
This was a request she made to those people after she was detained here. Seeing that she was still cooperating, maybe it was a stick to fill in sweet dates. One of them went out and bought a bag of candy and threw it to her. However, Xiao Jiu I feel that this candy is not as delicious as the toffee she ate a few days ago, and looking at the production date on the bag, it is more than a year old. It must be what the kid in the village, who often shows off in pretty dresses, calls it "cheap".
Xiaojiu counted her wishes with her fingers. If she can go out, she must work hard to make money to buy candy. If she can go out, she will make a lot of money to buy a house of her own. Well, raising a cat is not bad. If you can get out... never go home again.
Just thinking about what other wishes, Xiao Jiu heard the door lock slamming. She thought it was those people who came and didn't get up.
There was no movement after the door lock rang. But Xiao Jiu didn't care.
After a while, the door lock began to ring again, this time with the sound of a key opening the door.
squeak-
The small sound of the door opening was incomparably clear in the quiet room.
Xiao Jiu frowned, turned her head to look at the door, ready to see what these people were going to do.
The door... no one was there.
If you feel it, look down.
a black cat.
Xiaojiu: "!!!"
Seeing the first reaction of the black cat at the door, Xiao Jiu rubbed her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
She really did not expect to see this cat at this time.
How could it be here
What about those people
Why does it have keys
How does it open the door
However, Zheng Tan didn't wait for Xiao Jiu to think too much. He saw Xiao Jiu in the room. After the girl didn't seem to have any major problems, he ran out, took two steps and looked back at Xiao Jiu, motioning to leave quickly.
Before she could think too much or take out the key on the door, Xiao Jiu quickly followed. She just wanted to get out of here right now, and, for no reason, she felt that it would be safe to follow this cat. She never thought about the possibility that the black cat in front of her would be with those people.
Zheng Tan went downstairs, and when he came to the entrance of the stairs, he glanced around vigilantly, his ears moved, the man named "Sickle" was still taking a bath inside, but it should be finished soon, and the snake head and the other person did not. When I came back, I didn't hear anyone else's movement on the first floor.
Seeing the vigilant look of the black cat in front, Xiao Jiu followed behind and walked downstairs lightly. When she was in the village, sometimes she would go to the corner to have fun, and at the moment she was still wearing the same pair of cloth shoes she wore in the village, so she would not be unaccustomed to it. Therefore, it is not difficult for Xiao Jiu to act lightly and act quickly.
Zheng Tan had seen this floor and had to go out through the door.
The door is the kind of thick security door, when Xiao Jiu opens it, it makes a "click" sound.
As soon as he heard this sound, Zheng Tan rushed out quickly, and Xiao Jiu also quickly took the door and ran out with Zheng Tan.
"Scythe", who was taking a bath, heard the movement at the gate and said a few words aloud. He thought it was the snakehead or another person came back, but after waiting for a few seconds, he didn't hear the movement outside, and suddenly he felt bad. With a hunch, he opened the door and looked outside, shouted twice, but still no one answered.
Not caring about wiping the water off his body, "Scythe" ran and looked at several rooms while putting on clothes on his body. When he ran upstairs to look, he found that the door of Xiaojiu's room was open, and his key Put it in the door lock.
Over there, after Zheng Tan and Xiao Jiu went out, they ran into a snakehead who came back from shopping before they went far.
Unlucky!
Zheng Tan cursed in his heart.
Snakehead didn't notice Zheng Tan, all his attention was on Xiao Jiu. As soon as he saw Xiao Jiu, Snake knew that there was a problem with the "sickle", threw the big bag he was carrying on the ground, and immediately chased after him.
Before Zheng Tan was going to take Xiao Jiu to Chuhua University, it would be helpful to return to his own site, but now, Zheng Tan can only take Xiao Jiu to the other direction, but from this side, he can Where to run to hide? Are you going to go back to Chuhua University? It is estimated that he was caught before that, so it is better to find a place to hide.
Anyway, let's run away.
There were some pedestrians on the road, but Xiao Jiu didn't make a sound for help. She didn't know if it was useful to shout, or if anyone would help. Moreover, she is also afraid of attracting more enemies.
Looking for a passerby
She didn't know if those passersby would join in with those people. She is now in an unfamiliar environment, full of vigilance around her, and she doesn't trust the strangers around her at all. Moreover, the cat in front didn't stop, she just had to follow closely.
Zheng Tan decided to take Xiaojiu to the street first. When there are too many people, whether Xiaojiu calls out for help or finds a suitable place to hide, the success rate is very high.
After all, Xiao Jiu is still young, and his physical strength is not comparable to that of Snakehead. Snakehead is already quickly closing the distance. If a person pushing a fruit stand just passed by and stopped Snaketou, it is estimated that Snaketou would have caught Xiaojiu. However, in that case, Zheng Tan would definitely jump up and kick the snake's head without hesitation.
Zheng Tan's speed has slowed down. When Xiao Jiu, who is running behind, throws her too far, it will be difficult for her to respond as soon as possible when she is caught by a snake head.
When he looked back, Zheng Tan found that the "sickle" behind the snake's head was also chasing after him. Although sometimes the "scythe" is not as cautious as the snakehead, it is definitely quick enough to act.
While running at a reduced speed and waiting for Xiao Jiu behind to catch up, Zheng Tan paid attention to the surrounding situation to see which places could be used as shelters.
Running through a narrow alley, Zheng Tan suddenly made a sudden stop, quickly retreated, looked inside the alley, and ran in.
It's that blind old man!
It was just a quick glance just now, and it was a little far away. Zheng Tan was only suspicious. Now it seems that it is him.
Zheng Tan really wanted to howl out loud at this moment.
Blind man, I really love you to death! !
Zheng Tan knew that the place where Master Kun lived was still some distance away, and when he followed Master Kun before, the old man didn't walk here, but anyway, seeing this old man, Zheng Tan had the confidence to get out of trouble.
Ye Hao and the others have said that this blind old man is actually following people, but everyone usually doesn't notice it, and the people who follow this old man to protect are masters, who can be called masters by Ye Hao and Wei Ling. , absolutely extraordinary, it should be more than enough to deal with snake heads and "sickles", right
For Xiao Jiu, at this time, he should run to a place with many people. There is a shopping mall in front of him. There are many people there. He can just run and find a place to hide, but the black cat in front of him goes into that alley. Walk. However, despite her doubts, Xiao Jiu still followed Zheng Tan and ran in.
For Lord Kun, today has not been a happy day until now.
This afternoon, there was a quarrel over the overpass, and they committed suicide. One of them shouted and jumped off the overpass. Many people were attracted to watch the fun, which seriously affected the mood of Kun Ye pulling the erhu. So, the old man just packed up and left. On a whim, the old man wandered around for a while before taking a shortcut back.
The surrounding area is much quieter, but there are too many crisscrossed narrow paths. If a taxi drives in some paths, no one can go, and they can only continue to walk after the car leaves, and some paths, taxis cannot enter. , so generally this area basically can not see the shadow of the car.
Even though there are many trails and there are steps in some places on the road, people who don't have a strong sense of direction will feel dizzy here, but it is not difficult for Lord Kun, he will walk here several times a month.
As he was walking, Lord Kun moved his ears and stopped. turn around.
The moment he turned around, Zheng Tan rushed to Lord Kun's leg.
Luck is a very naughty guy. Sometimes it can kill you and make you want to commit suicide, but sometimes, it can really help you a lot, making you want to kneel down and thank God. Of course, this is also a relative thing, for some it is the latter, and for some it is the former.
