Chapter 27: The Child
On the way back to find Liang Jun, Li Lin did see such a ...... He is an indescribable man.
He was not tall, thin and small, and in the cold forest, he only wore a dress, and the sky was faintly bright, and Li Lin could tell that the skirt was green, and he didn't even bother to look at the face, and tried very hard to look at the little girl's legsβbecause he heard that legs are people.
The other party had legs, and those legs were still walking very fast, and he didn't have time to see his face clearly, and the person left.
Li Lin was frightened one after another last night, and when he talked about this little girl, he still had lingering palpitations, "I really thought it was a ghost at the time...... It was so scary, and then I remembered that her hairstyle and figure were similar to the sister in your previous photo. β
Liang Jun's fingers holding the tree moved, his face was cold, and his heart tightened, "In other words, don't you see the face very clearly?" β
Li Lin hesitated, "I really didn't see the face too clearly, it was a side, she walked very fast, I didn't know if it was a human or a ghost at the time, and I didn't dare to call her ......"
Li Lin's face was sneering, "In the middle of the night, it would have been scary enough to meet a child in such a place." β
Liang Jun's face was not good-looking, she slowly leaned against the tree, the last time she saw Liang Ye, her face was also wearing a green dress, Liang Ye's physique is very special, although weak, but not afraid of cold or heat, strictly speaking, Liang Ye can't feel the temperature at all.
She asked Li Lin, "Where did you see her?" β
"The person has already run away, I can take you to the place where I saw her, Liang Jun ......" Li Lin finally got to the point, "It's just right, let's find Jiale by the way, Jiale is timid, she will be afraid alone." β
At this time, Han Li had already put the rope in his bag, got up with the bag on his back, and raised his eyes to meet Liang Jun's gaze.
He had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Liang Jun said: "Let's go find Liu Jiale, and by the way, we can also find my sister." β
Han Li's face was expressionless, "Your leg is just straight, you need to recuperate, you have to reduce your movement these days, and we don't have medicine, if you don't pay attention to your injury, it may leave sequelae." β
Liang Jun naturally thought of this question, but she was silent for a few seconds and still said, "It's okay." β
Han Li lowered his eyes, staring at her legs.
To be honest, Liang Jun's current appearance is a little embarrassed.
The jeans on the calf were ripped out by him last night, and the fabric was tattered and covered the legs, stained with blood, and now they were dry and turned purple, and the bandaged white gauze was faintly visible.
She leaned against the tree, her little face was pale, her hair was slightly messy, her whole person was a little unspeakably haggard, and there was blood under her eyesβshe had been tormented by pain for a long time last night, and she couldn't sleep well when she thought about it.
Maybe because of her weakness, the previous strength on this woman's body has been reduced a lot, there is a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and her attitude is very sincere, "It's difficult for a person to get out of here, even if you don't want to help me, aren't you willing to help Li Lin?" β
Han Li didn't speak.
He thought that she had a wound on her leg, and it was inconvenient to find someone, so how could he be understood as unwilling to help her in her eyes.
Seeing that the two were deadlocked, Li Lin hurriedly said, "Han Li, you help us, besides, it's difficult for you to leave here alone, the cars are all Liang Jun's, let's unite a little." β
Han Li turned his face to look at Li Lin sideways, and smiled coldly, "Why didn't you want to think about unity when you left Liang Jun and ran away last night?" β
Li Lin was stabbed uncomfortably by that sharp gaze, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't make a sound.
Liang Jun was still staring at Han Li, "Han Li, just say if you can help or not." β
Han Li looked at her with a look of indifference, still silent.
Li Lin couldn't count on it, Liang Jun knew in her heart that now she just wanted Li Lin to lead the way, if she could pull Han Li up, it would be the best, this man could help a lot, but if she really couldn't do it, she didn't plan to make it difficult for others, she stood up straight with the tree and looked at Li Lin.
"Li Lin, let's go."
Li Lin hesitated slightly, he didn't want to be alone, and he wanted to ask someone to help find Liu Jiale, but he didn't think about taking Liang Jun with such an injured person by himself.
Liang Jun limped and walked a few steps, she can actually walk, but it hurts, she can bear it, she frowned and looked at Li Lin, "Let's go, aren't you looking for Liu Jiale?" β
Li Lin clenched his fists and looked at Han Li, "Han Li......"
Liang Jun really wanted to give Li Lin two slaps, but people were obviously unhappy, he was still rubbing here, a big man, the sentence "Han Li" was called in a low voice.
However, she didn't expect that it would be easy to breathe in a low voice, Han Li stepped over, carried the backpack to the front, and then squatted down with his back to her, "Come up, I'll carry you." β
Li Lin's eyes widened, and Liang Jun was also a little confused.
"Don't waste time." The man urged impatiently.
"I can ...... myself"
"If you are told to come up, you will come up."
Liang Jun was still a little hesitant.
"You're too slow, you're going to slow you down," he said, turning his face sideways, his face unsightly, "do you want me to hold you?" β
Liang Jun was silent for a few seconds, then bent down and put his hand on his shoulder.
β¦β¦
The atmosphere on the road was not good, and halfway through, Li Lin tentatively asked Han Li if he needed his help with the backpack, but Han Li refused.
Han Li was not accustomed to handing over the things he carried with him to others, this was a problem he had developed as a mercenary in the early years, the people around him could be separated or even die at any time, the supplies he needed had to be brought with him, so Li Lin took Liang Jun's bag in front to lead the way.
Liang Jun's life is petite and very light, which is not much of a burden for him, the only thing that disturbs him is that the distance is too close.
So close that he could even tell that there was actually a place on her body that was not so small.
Clung to his back, incredibly soft......
The woman on the back of the partial birth was not self-conscious, and when she saw Li Lin walking away, she still hooked his shoulders and lowered her head to talk to him in his ear.
"Is it heavy?"
He didn't speak, Liang Jun was embarrassed at first, "I owe you a personal favor......
After a pause, "No, even last night, I owe you two favors, I ...... I'll pay it back. β
Han Li reacted a little, "How can you pay it back?" β
Liang Jun bit her lip, her brain was a little messy, in fact, she rarely encountered this situation before, when she was a child, she was in an orphanage, and then she was sent under the fence, and then the Liang family had an accident, she wandered around with Liang Ye alone when she was a teenager, she has always thought that she is very independent, and she is dependent on others, and she rarely accepts help from others.
So Han Li became a unique exception.
This caused her to have no idea how to repay the favor, and finally decided to return it as it was, "If you are injured, I will not leave you alone." β
"Curse me?"
"No......" she tapped her chin on his shoulder, "anyway, you know, if you need my help, I can do it, I'll do my best." β
Han Li turned his face slightly and looked at her deeply.
I don't know if it's because the distance is too close, just this glance, Liang Jun inexplicably felt that her face was feverish, she turned her head a little uncomfortably, avoiding this kind of staring, her voice was very small, "...... Look at the road, you ......."
Han Li smiled and didn't speak, his gaze returning to the front.
β¦β¦
The place where Li Lin finally took them was already very close to the exit of the woods, it was past six o'clock in the morning, the air was cold and damp, Liang Jun got off Han Li's back, limping on the ground trying to find footprints.
The ground is all dirt, and some places are covered with fallen leaves, but I did find a few, very messy, some large and some small.
She locked on the smallest, looked far away to follow the trace, and there were some places on the way where there were no footprints, so she pushed aside the fallen leaves to look for them.
Li Lin saw her move so slowly, and clapped his hands, "Yes, it's all dirt here, and you should be able to see footprints or something where Jiale ran away, so you can find her!" β
No one paid attention to Li Lin, Han Li walked past him and walked directly to Liang Jun's side, raising his hand to help her.
Li Lin looked dumbfounded and followed slowly.
Liang Jun's search did not go well, and not long after they left, they saw something strange.
Li Lin's hairs stood up, and there were seven or eight in front of him, saying that people are not people, that trees are not tree thingsβif you have to say, it is a bunch of branches that make up the posture of a person.
Some are standing in the forest, and some are still walking.
These things seemed to be non-aggressive, like ordinary trees growing quietly in place, but Liang Jun looked closely, these things had no roots, and they were like people, with feet formed by branches, standing there, or walking in place.
She immediately thought of Han Li's description and turned her face sideways to ask him, "This is what you saw last night." β
Han Li nodded, "But last night, that one moved." β
Li Lin wanted to run away again, but he endured it and took a step back with some trembling, "This, what the hell is this, what the hell is this ......?"
Liang Jun also felt a little chilly all over his body, these things were indescribably weird, and one of them still raised his hand, as if he wanted to hold the other.
Han Li let go of Liang Jun, took out his gun, and stepped forward, approaching one of them, the thing was quiet and unresponsive, he frowned and spun around, and finally turned his head to look at Liang Jun.
"I don't think I'm going to attack anyone."
Li Lin asked, "Could it be that people did it?" Putting up something like this with a tree branch to scare someone? β
Still no one paid attention to him, Liang Jun's eyes moved from those tree people to the ground again, and Liang Ye's footprints disappeared here.
She limped forward, and the line of seven or eight tree men stretched for nearly thirty meters, and there were trees and fallen leaves in between, but the small footprints could no longer be seen on the bare ground.
Liang Jun brushed aside the fallen leaves all the way, looked back and forth a few times, and finally determined that these little footprints disappeared here.
Han Li also helped to look in the vicinity, but found nothing.
Liang Jun couldn't imagine what happened to Liang Ye running here alone, and then encountering these strange things.
I didn't find a clue, and it was already bright outside, and after the three of them discussed, they decided to stay in the forest today, on the one hand, they were afraid of so many villagers outside, and on the other hand, they also wanted to find Liu Jiale.
After making a decision, the three of them were planning to sort out the supplies on the spot and eat by the way.
Li Lin turned his head to look in the direction of the tree man uneasily, Han Li and Liang Jun didn't seem to be too afraid of these things, but he was still afraid in his heart, last night he left Liang Jun and ran away, today Liang Jun was lukewarm to him, Han Li didn't have a good face towards him, this feeling of isolation made him even more insecure, but he didn't dare to put forward any opinions on the decision made by Han Li and Liang Jun.
Liang Jun was sitting against a tree, and when he raised his eyes, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Han Li pinning the gun in his hand to his waist.
It's not a difficult gun, it's a very ordinary point 45, but it made her stunned for a while.
When Liang Ye first said that someone would kill her, she thought that Liang Ye was joking, she rarely provoked people on weekdays, and she didn't have any enemies, she could still imagine dying in an accident or something, but she really couldn't think of being killed.
So she laughed at the time, "Oh, how did that man with only one hand kill me?" β
Liang Ye didn't smile, "He uses a black pistol, he's going to shoot you...... Sister, if you see him, you must stay away. β
