Chapter 11: The Only Hope
Xie Yujiao is homesick, and she doesn't know how her father and mother are doing, whether she is still sad. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info are the younger brothers and sisters noisy, do they think about their sister. Also, what to do in the future, how to go home. The carriage had been running for a month and a half, and it was definitely impossible for me to walk home, even if I begged, I could not guarantee that I could get home safely. If you starve to death, you won't be able to paddle on the road if you are beaten to death. And I'm only seven years old, and it's said that my little face is quite cute, what if I'm targeted by a kidnapper again?
Hey~, it's also a sin to be too pretty, she thought to her little face with a stinky fart.
"Jingle Bell, what to do? It seems that I will stay here for a night tonight, and there is not much dry food, so there is only one person, how can I have the strength to hurry if I don't have food tomorrow, and I don't know if I can stop tomorrow if it rains so much. You both have a fever, and if you don't drink medicine, the illness will be even worse, and we finally escaped death, but we can't die here."
Ding Dong didn't speak, just looked at the stormy courtyard outside, and was also panicked in his heart, but Xie Yujiao couldn't see it.
Maybe he didn't expect to be trapped in this shabby grass hut. The map shows that there is a small town a hundred miles ahead, and the original plan was that as long as you get to the town, there will be a doctor, and there will be an inn for food and accommodation. But now that I have injured my leg, I have contracted the wind cold, and I am still feverish, not to mention walking hundreds of miles, even if I walk for half a day, I may not be able to get up again.
Is it just stuck here? He was not reconciled, there must be other ways.
That man is also quite powerful, he should be from the army, and I don't know why he ended up in such a field, but it seems that he won't survive for a few days without healing.
The girl next to her was fine, except for the injury to her arm, she was in good spirits. It's just that if she wants to rush to a small town hundreds of miles away in one day, can she do this?
Also, even if she could make it to town, who knows if she would stay like this.
No, you can't pin your hopes on others, there must be a way.
Ding Dong himself grinded his brain and didn't think of a better way to get out of trouble, his head became more and more dizzy after being infected with the wind and cold, and he felt sleepy against the wall again.
The rain outside was whistling in the wind, drifting in sporadically through the window.
Time passed slowly in the rain.
The sky gradually darkened, and today should have been the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion in the middle of August.
If the moon is bright and the stars are sparsely sparse, the full moon should also hang in the sky at this time.
Li Tianlei woke up suddenly, always feeling that there was something important that had not been done, and he was worried that he had not slept very well.
In the haze, a pair of cold little hands covered his forehead, making him momentarily sober.
"Brother Li, you woke up, you have a fever again, if you continue like this, you can't say that you can't wake up if you fall asleep again."
Li Tianlei was stunned for a while, and then remembered that the little girl in front of him was the one who had been taking care of herself.
"Girl, girl, someone Li has something to ask the girl, I hope the girl must agree."
"Oh, don't, I don't know anything, we're stuck here right now, I'm not familiar with life, and my ability is limited" Xie Yujiao saw this cautious posture, and knew that what people wanted to entrust was not so simple, so she waved her hand and refused in fright.
"Girl, now that the three of us are trapped here, the only hope for rescue is you"
Li Tianlei didn't care about the little girl, she kept shaking her head and refusing to agree, and directly said what she meant.
According to Li Tianlei, there is only a small town 90 miles to the west within a radius of 100 miles, and as long as he arrives in the town, he can find someone to save him.
It's just that it's stormy outside, and the rain shows no signs of stopping.
There is no one nearby, and if you want to be rescued, you can only rely on her to go to the town to find someone.
"More than ninety miles? How could I have gone that far? I walked for an hour with my father and mother, and it was less than 20 miles, and it took me about 5 hours to walk more than 90 miles. I'm only seven years old, how can I walk that far? And I'm not familiar with life, and I often get lost, so I'm sure I'll get lost."
"Girl, Li will not be so strong until the last resort, there is really no other way at the moment. You also know my situation, you can't die for a day or two, but after a day or two, and you don't eat or drink, maybe you won't survive for two days and die. Besides, this little brother's leg injury can't be delayed, and he is also infected with wind and cold, so he will not be sick for two days, and now your dry food can only last another day, and even if the rain stops after tomorrow, we will no longer have the strength to go out. We have a glimmer of hope now, and we can't sit back and wait for death. Unless you have the guts to kill me and eat human flesh"
Xie Yujiao's face turned pale with fright when she heard Li Tianlei's last sentence, and she only felt a tumbling stomach and nausea and retching.
Li Tianlei didn't seem to see Xie Yujiao moving to the side in fright, and continued to talk to himself.
"According to the normal calculation, five hours of the road, plus one hour of rest on the road, and one hour of delay due to unfamiliar travel, the girl only needs to walk seven hours to the town to find the person who answered me, show them this waist card, and tell them how I am now, and they will come to the rescue of me and this little brother as quickly as possible. At that time, the girl not only got out of trouble herself, but also saved two lives by the way. ”
Li Tianlei took out a bronze waist plate from his waist, the front was a lion's head with its mouth open, and the words 'Jiayi' were printed on the back.
"Moreover, didn't the girl be abducted from Rongzhou, as long as I am saved, I will try my best to help you return home safely!"
In fact, Li Tianlei's last sentence moved Xie Yujiao.
She is now worried about how to go home as soon as possible, even if she can't go home for the time being, she has to find ways to report the safety of her family, and her father and mother must be sad now.
Seven hours, more than one day, and it was still in the rain, so you can imagine the hardships of the journey.
Although she is just a country girl, she has never suffered since she was a child, at most she was beaten a few times by her mother, or helped take care of her younger brothers and sisters.
Should, or shouldn't?
Shouldn't? After the rain stopped, I still had to walk for a hundred miles, and I was hungry on the road.
Answered? If this person is saved, he will have a greater chance of returning home, and he will have a thigh to hold for the time being.
"Okay, I promise you. But first, if I find someone to save you, you should first find someone to bring a peace letter to my family, and then help me go home as soon as possible. ”
"A gentleman promises a thousand gold."
"Girl, since you have decided to leave tomorrow, the dry food will be left for you to eat on the road, and only when you have the physical strength can you persist in walking to the place."
"Okay, it's just that you and Dingdong are going hungry and waiting for someone to save you."
"It's okay, it should be able to last two days lying like this anyway."
When the two talk about the town where someone will come to their rescue, Ding Dong wakes up. He listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and knew that the current situation could only be hoped for by this Xie girl going out for help.
It's just that he has always predicted the worst in people's hearts. In case she doesn't make it to the town, or if she meets someone else before she arrives in the town, will she just ignore herself who is still waiting for rescue? Besides, even if she was in town, she was safe anyway, would she still remember that there were people waiting for help?
Li Tianlei and Xie Yujiao didn't know that he thought of people so darkly in his heart.
"Girl, rest early, recuperate, and need to leave early tomorrow morning."
It should be possible to arrive at the time of the unitary time, and it is best to arrive at the time of the unitary. Because as soon as the unitary time is over, it should be dark, and it is difficult to find the way.
