Chapter 19: Chaotic Dreams
Xiao Qiong's eyes were fixed on the white not far from her, and then she clenched the mobile phone in her hand.
He slowly followed the girl, walking cautiously, lest he make a little noise.
Xiao Qiong's heart was pounding, and he regretted coming here a little.
The tall trees that grew on this barren mountain blocked the sunlight, and everything around them looked gloomy, accompanied by the wailing of crows, Xiao Qiong's whole person fell into boundless fear.
Xiao Qiong regrets it very much now.
He felt that he had come far, far away, that he was already in the center of this barren mountain, and that he was now getting closer and closer to danger.
Suddenly, the girl he was following stopped.
After Xiao Qiong saw it, she panicked and hid behind a very thick tree trunk, leaning out her head and listening carefully to the surrounding sounds with her ears sideways.
I saw that the little girl in front of him stopped and hid behind a tree trunk like him, motionless.
At this moment, he heard what seemed to be someone arguing not far from them in front of him.
"Hehe, you kid, I didn't expect you to dare to come?"
It was a very rough voice, and the tone of the voice was chilling, and it sounded very uncomfortable.
"Give me back my brother."
The next voice sounded calm, but it still couldn't hide its immaturity.
Xiao Qiong was shocked when he heard this, and the little boy who was covered in injuries just now suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Brother? Hahaha, yes, of course I can give your brother back to you. ”
The rough voice laughed maniacally when it heard that, and then continued in a mocking tone.
"If you want your brother, let your father give us back his life."
What followed was a sudden silence.
Xiao Qiong wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then cautiously took a few steps forward, hiding behind the tree closest to the little girl.
Only then did he clearly see the source of the two voices.
Not far from them, there was a man dressed in black, sitting on a rock, playing with a knife in his hand.
Opposite the man, there stood a young boy in his teens, dressed in dirty clothes and covered with wounds of all sizes.
Xiao Qiong was stunned for a moment, he was really the kid just now.
But Xiao Qiong had never seen such an embarrassed person.
Because in his more than ten years of life, all the people who appeared in front of him were bright and well-dressed.
So Xiao Qiong felt very unfamiliar with such a child.
But Xiao Qiong looked at the boy in front of him and found that even though he was very embarrassed and covered with injuries all over his body, there was always an aura around him, which was an innate noble temperament.
The little boy just stood upright, looking up at the man in black in front of him. It didn't look like he was being threatened, but like he was negotiating with the man.
The man in black didn't seem to expect the child to be so calm, he paused slightly, and then yelled at the boy fiercely.
"You don't give me nonsense, I don't care how powerful and powerful your family used to be, but now it's not what it used to be."
"How is it, overnight from a wealthy young master to a little beggar begging on the street, young master Jiang, how do you feel now?"
The man in black laughed arrogantly at the little boy, Xiao Qiong heard it from his words, it turned out that the boy was also a young master from a rich and noble family before, but he didn't know what happened at home and turned it into what he is now.
I saw that the little boy faced the cynicism of the man in black, and he endured it. He just clutched the corners of his clothes.
The boy trembled imperceptibly, but he stared motionlessly into the man's eyes, and then breathed heavily, suppressing his anger.
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing the boy's reaction, the man in black laughed even more wildly.
"Tut-tut, worthy of Jiang Huaiwei's son."
"It's kind of ......"
The man in black slowly walked up to the boy as he spoke, and then crouched down to look into the boy's eyes.
"Actually, I miss working with your dad a lot, but it's a pity that ......"
When the man in black said this, he slowly eased his expression, and a trace of pity appeared on his face.
When the boy heard this, he suddenly took a few steps back, and then said in a cold voice: "Don't pretend to be a good person, don't think that I don't know who conspired with the people outside to frame my father."
The man seemed to be stimulated by this sentence, and he raised his knife and roared angrily.
"You fart! What do you know about a little brat? Lao Tzu worked hard for your father back then, and Lao Tzu did all kinds of dangerous things. But at the end of the day, what did I get? What I got was betrayal! ”
"Not once, not once! Not once did he trust me! I almost lost my life for him several times, but what about him? Ask him what he did! ”
The more the man spoke, the more excited he became, and he suddenly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and then pounded the ground with his fists one after another, using all his strength with each punch.
That's because he knows that people like you don't deserve his trust. Sooner or later, you will betray him for the sake of profit. ”
The boy was not frightened by the increasingly crazy man in front of him, he still stood there calmly, but the anger in his eyes could not be hidden.
"For so many years, my dad has treated you well, so when he knew that you betrayed him, he didn't say anything."
"But what about you! You kidnapped my brother to threaten him? ”
"What? Do you have to make my father commit suicide, and do you have to let him use his life to make up for his mistake of not being able to understand people? ”
The boy endured it for a long time, and finally broke out, and he walked in front of the man in black trembling step by step, and then pointed at him and yelled angrily.
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his eyes turned red.
"My brother is still a five-year-old, what did he do wrong? You tell me what the hell he did wrong! Why did you do that to him? ”
The boy's eyes finally got wet.
He slowly crouched down, and then looked ahead with no anxiety in his eyes.
"You let my brother go, okay, I'm willing to exchange my own life for him."
After the boy finished speaking, his body, which had been tense just now, suddenly relaxed, and he sat on the ground, his head bowed, and he didn't say a word.
The man in black slowly recovered from his madness, he stood up laughing, and then looked down at the boy who looked like an ant in his eyes.
"Hahahahahaha, good, Jiang Jinchen, you have a kind!"
The man said as he slowly approached the boy.
Xiao Qiong watched the scene in front of him with his breath, he was startled by this sudden laughter, and then came back to his senses.
He suddenly remembered the girl.
After Xiao Qiong came back to her senses, she quickly set her eyes on the girl, and then saw that the child was panting and trembling.
He landed his gaze on the girl's clenched fist, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
He lunged forward, then grabbed the girl in an instant, and reached out to cover her mouth tightly.
The girl was startled by Xiao Qiong who suddenly rushed out, she wanted to turn back in horror, but her whole person was pressed against the trunk of the tree from behind by Xiao Qiong.
"Are you crazy?"
Xiao Qiong said angrily to the girl.
"What are you going out for?"
Xiao Qiong was really frightened by this girl, and his tone of voice was imperceptibly trilling.
"Don't you see, he's got a knife in his hand!"
Xiao Qiong felt the struggle of the girl in his arms, and he hugged her harder.
In anger, the girl suddenly opened her mouth and bit Xiao Qiong's finger.
"Hiss......"
Xiao Qiong felt that his fingers were about to be bitten off at that moment, and he pushed the girl away at once.
"I'm not crazy, who are you, why are you stopping me?"
The girl turned her head, staring at Xiao Qiong's frightened pale face with a frown.
Xiao Qiong frowned tightly in pain, he looked up at the girl's face, and was suddenly frightened by her eyes.
He saw not only anger in the girl's eyes, but also a kind of determination.
"What can you do when you go out?"
Xiao Qiong rubbed her fingers, then stared at her tightly and said, "Are you going out to die?"
He looked at the girl's unchanged face, and almost didn't take a breath.
"What does he have to do with you, do you know him? You want to die for a stranger? ”
Xiao Qiong stared at the girl with a look of disbelief.
The girl actually laughed when she heard Xiao Qiong's words.
"Of course I don't know him, but since I see someone in danger, even if it's a stranger, I'm going to help him!"
I saw that the girl said this to Xiao Qiong with a serious and firm face, and Xiao Qiong looked at her like a monster after hearing it.
"You're absolutely insane, going to die for a stranger?"
Xiao Qiong's face turned pale and she shook her head and stepped back.
He felt his worldview crumble, because he couldn't think of a single reason to die for a stranger.
It's just crazy.
He sat stiffly on the ground with his eyes fixed and then watched the girl glare at him and run out without looking back.
The girl said something before she left, which made Xiao Qiong remember it for the rest of her life.
"Because I believe that what I do now can make a difference in the future."
Xiao Qiong trembled and got up and wanted to leave, but now he seemed to have lost all his strength.
He felt his head dizzy, everything around him lost his voice, and Xiao Qiong couldn't even hear his heartbeat.
A patch of white appeared in front of his eyes, and in the chaos, he seemed to see a bright red, sprayed in the vast expanse of white.
Then, covering his eyes, he collapsed into a chaotic dream.
