"Don't be afraid." Suddenly, a dry and hoarse voice sounded behind him.

Ling Li hurriedly turned around and saw that Nan Zhiyi didn't know when he had woken up. Making eye contact with her, he lowered his voice: "We are safe for the time being. ”

His lips were pale, and his eyes were tired, but there was a calmness in his eyes that reassured her.

Shi Meina kicked Qi Wan at her feet, wiped the knife on her clothes that had not been soaked in blood, didn't even look at Ling Li, buried her head and said, "You should be glad that you still have the value of being alive now, and I don't want to kill you yet." ”

Ling Li calmed down a little, but the scene just now was still vivid.

"Smena!" She couldn't control her distorted voice, and her voice couldn't help but be sharp, "What do you want?" ”

"What do I think? If you hadn't bewitched Qi Wan and let you two go, how would she have died? Shi Meina replied with a sneer, touched her chin again, and thoughtfully: "You guys are really troublesome." ”

After more than ten seconds, she squatted down: "Otherwise." ”

After speaking, he picked up the tape used to seal on the side, lifted Nan Zhiyi's head, and wrapped a circle around his mouth.

After pestering Nan Zhiyi, she turned around again and sealed Ling Li's mouth with tape.

"Alright." She said, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

Before Ling Li could figure out what this meant, the long knife in her hand was raised unexpectedly.

When it falls again, the tip of the knife blooms into a crimson flower.

Hearing what seemed to be the sound of Qi Wan's corpse hitting the stone on the edge of the cliff, Ling Li's teeth chattered.

A few hours ago, Qi Wan pushed the car under the cliff in an attempt to mislead the police investigation. At that time, she probably didn't expect that the next person to be destroyed would be herself.

Seeing a person die, Ling Li was terrified, only to feel that the dark night sky in front of her was as if there was no end in sight.

Nan Zhiyi kept his eyes closed, his expression calm, as if a living person died in front of him, and he couldn't be afraid.

When he looked down, he saw fresh blood oozing from the bandage of his leg wound.

She asked him in a low voice, "How are you, does it hurt?" ”

After asking, I knew that my sentence was redundant.

How can such a deep wound not hurt?

Nan Zhiyi was still breathing steadily, as if nothing could affect him.

"I can't die." He laughed self-deprecatingly, "But I can't run anymore, and I'm completely meat on someone else's chopping board." ”

After a pause, there was a hint of annoyance in his voice: "I underestimate Shi Meina too much, this woman is cold-blooded and calm, I now highly suspect that she has something to do with your family's case." ”

Ling Li was stunned.

Because of tiredness and fright, her brain was a little stopped, and she couldn't figure out what Nan Zhiyi meant for a while.

He lowered his voice: "Forgotten? She said that Zhong Zhuowen woke up and we should die, don't you understand what it means? Zhong Zhuowen woke up, so she had no way to escape. ”

Smena had just returned and happened to hear this.

She smiled happily: "Professor Nan, sure enough, you are the smart one, but you are a poor little lover who can't turn around, and you can't understand it." ”

Thinking of what Nan Zhiyi had said before, she suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Is that you?" Ling Li shook her head with disbelief in her eyes, "Impossible, you were in the United States at that time, it couldn't be you." ”

Shi Meina looked indifferent, stroked her hair, and smiled: "I'm in the United States, can't I kill people?" ”

Ling Li suddenly came to her senses: "So, Qian Yang is instructed by you!" ”

Shi Meina shook her head: "It's not a command, it's just an equivalent exchange." ”

"Swap?" Ling Li couldn't help but repeat these two words.

Shi Meina had a slightly smug look on her face: "Funan is rich in mineral resources, and small coal kilns are everywhere, which makes many people rich. For example, the town of Blackwater is a place where coal flourished. But do you know how many nameless bones are buried in those abandoned coal kilns? ”

Hearing Heishui and then coal, Ling Li's heart turned: "Qian Yang's father! ”

After the police suspected that Qian Yang was responsible, Ling Li consciously collected everything and his information. As a result, I also learned that Qian Yang's father never came back after he went to a coal mine.

That is, not long after his father disappeared, his mother suddenly went crazy, and from then on, Qian Yang had an extremely difficult time.

gave Ling Li a few seconds of reaction, and Shi Meina smiled again: "Actually, I only wanted Ling Ling's life at the beginning, but I don't know why that kid was disobedient and gave you the special tonic I made for Ling Ling to drink for your whole family. Therefore, only Ling Ling's life is my pot. ”

She stopped at this point, refusing to say anything more.

"So, Zhong Zhuowen investigated Heishui, you were afraid that the crime would be exposed, so you actually attacked your daughter?" Ling Li asked cautiously.

"It's not her," Nan Zhiyi was sure, "If it were her, Zhong Zhuowen wouldn't have a chance to wake up." ”

The sad emotion in Shi Meina's eyes flashed, and in the next second, she spoke out with hatred: "It's all to blame for the information you gave, Wenwen found out that Qian Yang's father disappeared in the coal kiln, and learned that I had worked as an auditor in many coal mines, she was so smart and keenly found clues, so she went to Blackwater Town to investigate privately, and she was discovered by Qian Yang!" Therefore, Wenwen is all caused by you. ”

She suddenly laughed again: "Wenwen woke up, I can't escape, naturally I can only play with you." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Li with a smile.

Nan Zhiyi suddenly became nervous: "What are you going to do?" Don't hurt her! ”

"What, I'm afraid to look at it?" Shi Meina's expression gradually became gloomy, "Instead of worrying about your little lover, you should worry about yourself." ”

Glancing at the wound on his body again, he said to himself: "It's still oozing blood, shouldn't it be infected?" Why don't we play a new game? ”

Shi Meina's methods made Ling Li's whole body chill.

She picked off all the bandages that Nan Zhiyi had bandaged the wounds, and used the knife to pick open the wounds that had gradually solidified.

She also used Ah Zi's method of torturing Mrs. Ma - poured honey on Nan Zhiyi's wound, dragged him to a big tree and tied him up, and attracted insects to crawl on the wound by the sweetness.

After that, he squatted aside with great interest, observing insects like elementary school students, and looked forward to the insects crawling on Nanzhiyi.

But fortunately, the novel is a novel after all, plus the season is winter, more than an hour has passed, and Nanzhiyi does have some ants on his body, but there are no other insects crawling out.

Shi Meina was very dissatisfied with this result, frowning and yelling impatiently: "Forget it, there is really nothing to do, novels are all lies." ”

Ling Li breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Shimena suddenly smiled again and pulled out a transparent bottle from the car.

Twisting the lid, she condescended and fell down on Nan Zhiyi's body and wounds.

After several meters away, Ling Li could also smell the strong smell of alcohol.

The wound was soaked in alcohol, and Nan Zhiyi was sweating profusely and struggling in pain.

After more than ten seconds, he was motionless and seemed to have fainted.

Shimena was very satisfied with the result and kept laughing.

He threw away the bottle and clapped his hands, saying, "Okay, the disinfection is complete, now let's play something exciting." ”

After she finished speaking, she took out a lighter from her coat pocket, squatted down slowly, and with a flick of her fingers, a flame jumped up from her fingertips.

She turned her face away, raised her eyebrows and said to Ling Li, "Guess what, is it enough for us to keep warm tonight?" ”

Ling Li watched the fire swaying around Nan Zhiyi, flickering far and near, a heart hung in the air, and his breathing was about to stagnate.

Shi Meina teased Ling Li with great interest, observing her painful and nervous expression, and only felt extremely happy in her heart.

However, the lighter in her hand didn't allow her to play for too long, and in less than a minute, the place where the fire was lit was too hot to grasp.

Shi Meina frowned, and with a wave of the lighter in her hand, it fell far away—she didn't really want to ignite Nan Zhiyi, there was more cruel torture waiting for him.

Ling Li was panting and was about to collapse.

Shi Meina had enough of playing, paced over, squatted down and tore the tape on Ling Li's mouth, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Can you describe your mixed feelings? ”

Ling Li had tears in her eyes, and sorrow came from it.

Ling Li understood Shi Meina's intentions - she just wanted to torture her, make her sad and sad, no matter how much she begged her, it was useless.

Since there will be no results in asking questions, simply don't ask.

Shi Meina glanced at her with some surprise: "It's smart." ”

After a pause, looking up at the sky, she smiled and said, "It looks like it's going to rain, and the mountain road is not easy to walk when it rains, so just rest and rest." ”

Ten minutes later, a cold rain arrived as scheduled.

Shi Meina dragged Ling Li into the trunk, and did not close the door of the trunk, letting the back cover be raised high.

She sat in the cab by herself, closed the doors and windows, turned the air conditioner on maximum gear, and muttered, "It's so cold, I'm about to freeze to death." ”

In the cold wind, Ling Li couldn't help but tremble, looking at Nan Zhiyi, who was gradually wet by the rain, with a cry: "You let him in!" He can't get in the rain anymore! ”

"Be quiet! Don't bother me to recuperate! Smena shouted impatiently.

The next second, he suddenly laughed again: "You think I'm abusing him?" Little girl, you think too much. He hasn't drunk water for more than a day, and a rain is beneficial, at least he can replenish some water, don't you say? ”

Ling Li watched him being tortured, and her heart was anxious, but she knew that praying to Shi Meina would not have any effect.

Seeing her sad and sad, Shimena will only be happier.

Fortunately, after half an hour, the sky cleared again, and even the sun began to rise.

After a rain, Nan Zhiyi's face and lips were extremely bad.

Seeing that the rain had stopped, Shimena got off the bus in a good time, packed her things, and hit the road again.

Winter in Funan is foggy and cloudy, and the midday sun is fleeting, and the sky is dark again.

In the dense forest at dusk, shrouded in a thick fog.

Ling Li took a towel and wiped Nan Zhiyi, who was almost unconscious, on his forehead, trying to cool down.

His wounds were so deep, they were doused with honey, they were crawled by insects, and even with the liquor they disinfected, they still couldn't stop the tendency to get infected and suppurated.

Coupled with that rain, now he has a high fever, and he doesn't know how long he can last.

Shi Meina also wanted to see Nan Zhiyi suffer a little more, and didn't want him to die unconsciously like this, so she let go of the rope in Ling Li's hand and asked her to take care of Nan Zhiyi.

Anyway, she was sure that with Nan Zhiyi's appearance, Ling Li would not run.

Compared with Nan Zhiyi's cruelty, Shi Meina is still quite humane to Ling Li.

For example, give her water, or throw her a small bread to eat.

"Yours," said Shimena, "I watched you eat and forbade him to eat." ”

After not eating for more than a day, Ling Li's hands and feet were already weak, and at this time, the food that was so hard that she choked her neck to swallow it, she ate it in three or two bites.

After that, she raised her head and looked at what was in Shimena's hand, her face full of longing.

Shi Meina was very satisfied with her expression of begging for food, and spread her hands with mockery on her face: "Just one, you don't look at me anymore." ”

Ling Li lowered her head in disappointment, and took advantage of Shi Meina's distance of more than ten meters to move her body with difficulty, and then her lips came to his mouth.

Nan Zhi was prone to fever, his brain was a little dazed, and he didn't understand what she was doing here.

In the next second, a mouthful of bread that had been warmed by her was sent into his mouth.

He immediately understood her thoughts, closed his eyes, and swallowed silently.

After a few seconds, Ling Li left his lips and whispered in his ear, "I know it's useless, it's better than nothing." If you hold on, even if you want to die, I will accompany you. ”

Her soft voice made his vague senses gradually come to his senses.

She was still holding on, and he couldn't give up. She must be rescued - even if she riskes her life, she must escape safely from Smena's hands.
