Chapter IV

I ran, and I ran.

I didn't know why I was running, as if something terrible was chasing me after me.

I didn't know what it was, but the indescribable fear in my heart prompted me to forget everything, only fear, and I wanted to escape!

I didn't dare to look back to see what was chasing me, and I was afraid that when I looked back, the picture would be bloody and hideous.

I don't know where I am, it's pitch black, cold, damp. There was a musty smell all around, and there was no sound, except for the sound of my own footsteps and rapid gasps.

There wasn't a glimmer of light around, so I held my phone tightly in my hand and used the miserable white light from the flashing light on my phone as my only light source now.

This little light is not only faint and small, but the faint light sets off the environment very strangely. It made me feel incomparably depressed, "Hurry up, I'm leaving here," I cried out in my heart.

The visual range is less than two meters, except for the white area illuminated by the flash of the mobile phone, the surrounding area is indescribably dark!

I stumbled and lost count of how many times I fell, and my arms, knees, shoulders, forehead, everywhere I could feel all over my body seemed to hurt; I felt my clothes clinging to my body, sticky, and I didn't know if it was my sweat, or if it was blood from a fall, or from where it fell.

I don't know, I can't care about that much, it's too dark in here, it's terrible! All I wanted was to escape quickly, I didn't care about anything, as long as I could get out of here and escape from the rear.

I gritted my teeth tightly, endured the pain in my body, my strength was exhausted, my steps began to become messy, I gasped wildly, and shouted hysterically in my heart, "What the hell is this place?" I'm leaving, I'm leaving! ”

No matter how wild I ran, the sense of oppression behind me didn't seem to decrease at all, and I couldn't shake off something that made me feel frightened, evil, and unknown! I felt like if I paused for the slightest moment, I would be swallowed by it immediately.

Gradually, my vision became blurred, and I felt that my consciousness began to become blurred out of my control. I knew I was running out and probably wouldn't have the strength to get up after the next fall.

My footsteps, the movements of my body, can only rely on the instinct of escape now, moving forward mechanically, and I don't know if I am running or walking briskly. The darkness around me was so tight, and the white light from my phone was so limited that I couldn't see anything except a few raised rocks on the ground, which even made me feel like I was standing still.

I felt as if I was in nothingness, no direction, no light, no sound, and I felt that soon, I would be swallowed up by that nothingness!

Gradually, I began to feel the sweetness of my throat, and I could clearly feel the beating of the green tendons on my forehead. I knew that I was probably dying, and that I was so physically exhausted that I was starting to falter. I gritted my teeth and tried not to let myself fall, but my body felt as heavy as lead.

My will began to crumble, the desire to survive gradually faded, exhaustion filled my body, and I even wondered why the unknown, terrible monster chasing after me hadn't caught me yet. If it had caught me, torn me apart, eaten my flesh, and drank my blood, I might not have died so painfully!

Just as I was struggling at the point of collapse like a walking corpse. Suddenly my feet were empty, and then I felt like I was in free fall, and I fell a slope, and then I was rolling.

I hugged my head tightly with both hands to prevent me from being hit by the impact when I rolled off! I couldn't count how many rolls I took, but I just felt the sky spinning, and then I didn't know what I bumped on, it felt like a raised rock, and then I was in the air again.

At this knock, I felt that my internal organs were shattered, and I felt a sharp pain in my chest. A mouthful of salty, fishy liquid gushed out of his throat. I screamed "oops" and thought to myself that this fucking was really over! Then he fell heavily to the ground.

After a long time, he was almost scattered and his body regained some consciousness, and the pain that followed. I wanted to shout, but when I opened my mouth, I couldn't make a sound!

After a long time, I don't know how long, the pain gradually subsided, and I began to look around, my phone had long since fallen somewhere, and the surroundings were plunged into complete darkness.

With a faint feeling in my body, I realized that I was probably lying in a very damp, cold pile of rubble, and I could faintly hear the sound of water flowing.

I tried to get up, but after two attempts, I found that all I could move lightly was a few fingers. I couldn't even feel anything other than my fingers, my legs, my arms, my whole body, as if they had been thrown away in the tumbling just now!

With what little sense I had left, I gently moved my fingers and sensed my surroundings.

I felt like I had fallen on a rocky beach, and the rocks on the rocky beach were cold and smooth. It looked like pebbles, and in the gaps between the pebbles, I could still feel some of the fine sand that had been soaked by the water. Add in the sound of the water, it should be the bank of a small stream, or the bank of an underground river!

Because the darkness around me is not the darkness of the night, but the darkness that swallows everything, so black that I can't see the slightest shadow, so I feel that the latter is more likely.

I lay on the ground unable to move, my mind racing with thoughts.

I thought of my father's serious expression, and if he had seen me like this, he would have lectured me harshly, complained about my disobedience, and told me that I should not have come to such a dangerous place.

I thought of my mom again, if she saw me now and was reprimanded by my dad, she would definitely hug me and hold my tears in front of me to stop my dad from beating me!

Then I thought of Ah Kai, Zhao Xiaodong, and others. If Liu Tong saw me at this moment, would he be worried and anxious about me?

"Holy! Why am I here, why? Why? "I can't remember anything, I just remember running and running, and I can't remember what happened.

I'm not a swear person, and sometimes Zhao Xiaodong's ruffian words and swear words make me feel very uncomfortable. But I now have a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand grass and mud horses in my heart! I feel that even if I finish scolding all the dirty words in my next life now, I can't vent the grievances, bitterness, and helplessness in my heart.

I began to think about why I was here, what had I been through?

Vaguely, I remembered that Zhao Xiaodong and I were going out to play, and I recalled that my father and mother opposed my going out and asked me to stay at home honestly.

I recalled that because I wanted to go out with Liu Tong, I tried my best to fight for my parents, and even quarreled with my parents in the end.

This is the first time in my life that I have disobeyed my parents, although my parents do not demand much from me, as long as I am safe. But what my parents say, I will do it.

No wonder when I thought of my dad just now, I thought he would scold me, reprimand me, and even beat me. It turned out that from the very beginning, they were strongly opposed to my outing. All of this happened because I disobeyed them.

I'm starting to regret why I didn't listen to them! If I had been at home, what would I be doing now?

Watching TV while eating the fruit that my mother washed? Or playing a computer game with an iced Coke?

Tears welled up in my eyes at the thought of this. I regret it so much, I shouldn't have insisted on going my own way, I really want to be by their side now, to be protected by them! I wanted to shout out to my dad and mom for them to come and save me.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, a mouthful of salty and fishy liquid gushed out of his throat, followed by a sharp pain in his chest! I started coughing violently and I don't know what I was spitting up! I wasn't seriously injured or vomited blood, and I don't know what that would be like. I wish I just spit out the soy milk I drank last week.

Thinking about it, suddenly I thought of Liu Tong. If something happens to us while we're traveling, what happens to the others? How is Zhao Xiaodong? Ah, what about Kai? Are the secretary and Liu Bin safe and sound? Lili, Lili's best friend, and Liu Tong, who I have had a crush on for more than a year, are they safe?

Thinking of this, I began to feel uneasy, if Liu Tong is in danger now, then I must go and save her.

She must have felt very scared, and she must have been as helpless as I was. How can I leave Liu Tong alone at this moment!

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, so I held back the sharp pain in my chest and gritted my teeth to sit up. "I'm fine, I'm not that vulnerable, a little injury is nothing to me." I said to myself over and over again. It seems that if I say that, the pain in my body will be reduced.

I held my breath and held my elbows on the rocky beach, trying to brace my body up. I was sweating profusely and gritting my teeth with all my might, but even then I failed!

As soon as my back left the ground, I felt a cramping pain in my chest, and the breath I was holding was instantly released! I cried out in pain and eventually fell back onto the rocky beach, unconscious......
