Even if I don't look back, I know that this is Xu Lingling's return! Or maybe she didn't really leave at all, and I was so excited that it wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was the last straw. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I retracted my hand, didn't continue to burn the rope, looked back at the black shadow that was quite far away from me, and said: "Xu Lingling, I don't want to lie to you, if I don't find Qiangzi and them, I won't leave, you may not understand, but the three of them are real brothers to me, and the friendship of life, this kind of relationship is worth guarding with my life, that's all." ”

"You're so emotional, you're sacrificing yourself to save them, is it really worth it? What if your death were exchanged for their lives? They won't be buried for you, and it's best for you to live, so why not be satisfied? Xu Lingling's voice was very soft, if it wasn't for the wilderness, she wouldn't be able to hear it clearly, but her voice carried deep emotions, more like a kind of grievance.

"I didn't think about it that much at all, I just wanted to save them, no matter how big the danger and difficulty, I wouldn't give up, so you don't have to persuade me to leave." I said firmly.

"Okay, then I'll give you a choice now, with your death in exchange for their departure, are you willing?" Xu Lingling said as he walked towards me slowly, making me feel a trace of pressure and even a dangerous aura in my face.

When Hadron stood up for me, did he think about life and death? Did the viper and the lynx think about the gains and losses when I called for the end? I was under the pressure of her approaching, but I was also deeply relieved, and I replied with a smile: "If I have to choose, my answer is yes!" ”

"You'll regret it, can you believe it?"

I shook my head: "What regrets or not, this doesn't matter, you mean they're okay?" ”

Xu Lingling stood two meters away from me, did not answer, but raised his arm wrapped in black gauze, revealing a kitchen knife hidden in it with a cold light, which was a little old and mottled with rust.

I was stunned, frowning solemnly, I would not choose to sit still, slowly reached out to burn the rope on my hand, but was stopped by her shout: "Don't move!"

I had to retract my hand again, she was going to pounce on me now, then I really couldn't prevent it, but I didn't have too much fear: "Xu Lingling, what do you want?" ”

"Are you scared?" Xu Lingling asked, but her tone was not provocative, nor mocking, but a caring tone, which really puzzled me, and I seriously suspected that her mental state was extremely problematic.

"I'm going to bring a rusty kitchen knife to you, are you afraid?" I asked rhetorically.

"I'm just trying to protect myself."

"My hands are tied, can I still catch you?" I kind of want to laugh.

"Do you dare to blow out the candle? And then come with me? Xu Lingling's voice was lowered.

"With you? Where to go? I asked reflexively.

"To dare or not to dare?!" Xu Lingling's tone was hurried and a hint of annoyance.

I took a closer look at her by the light of the fire, she was very fat, her whole body was shrouded in a robe made of black gauze, including the parts of her legs, and her feet had no shoes, wrapped in black cloth, like a round ball, no wonder her footprints were oval, presumably her feet were swollen and deformed. Is she going to take me to see Qiangzi and them? If I promised her, would I be caught in the net, but in other words, it would be worth a try if I didn't get a tiger in the tiger's den.

I gritted my teeth and nodded, "Okay!" I'll go with you, but only if you have to throw the knife away, how about it? ”

"No! I'm just trying to protect myself, and if you want to make a move on me, I'll kill you without mercy! However, I also promise that I will never actively harm you. Xu Lingling was tough on this.

It's a promise again, I broke my promise not long ago because of a 'guarantee', and now it's on me, I can't believe it a hundred times, in the face of criminals, if it's all talking, isn't this the same as joking? If she changes her mind halfway, or is deliberately guiding me at all, then she will carry a knife in her hand and turn her face at any time, won't there be endless troubles.

I sighed and said, "I have a rope tied to my hand, and you throw away the knife, we are fair to do this, and it is good for you, I can't catch you at all, so why not attack you." As I spoke, I deliberately tried to break free a few times, and the rope was tied very firmly, and there was no loosening at all.

Xu Lingling was silent for a few seconds, as if in contemplation, and then suddenly reached out and threw the kitchen knife into the well, and there were a few crisp sounds of metal colliding, and she said, "That's good, right?" ”

I nodded, and seeing that she was so neat, I stopped grinding, and stood up with my hands on the ground, and glanced at the candle that was almost burning, and stepped on it, and the fire was extinguished, and the surroundings became a rich black.

"Xu Lingling, please lead the way." I say.

"Okay, come with me." She started to walk as she spoke.

I followed her footsteps one after the other, along the way we passed through the terrain is relatively flat, not the geographical location, but Xu Lingling took me to avoid a lot of slopes and bumps, during which I almost fell into the field next to me twice, but Xu Lingling in front of him did not reduce his speed, that is, the path was very smooth for her, she was quite familiar with the surrounding terrain, but no matter how familiar it was, it was pitch black, I don't know how she did it, maybe it was based on the outline image of the nearby trees as a reference.

Her pace was relatively fast, I could only barely keep up, we didn't talk any more on the way, I didn't know where she was taking me, and I didn't ask much, I secretly wanted to insist on getting there early.

After walking for about half an hour, I heard the murmuring of water in front of me, and we had come to the brook where we had stopped in the morning. In my impression, it's not that far, Xu Lingling's footsteps are still continuing, and he has no intention of stopping.

My right leg was no longer obedient, and I couldn't help but pause and ask, "Xu Lingling, where are you taking me?" How far is it going? ”

The footsteps in front of her stopped and turned back two steps to my side, and she said softly: "It's almost there, you wait here for me for a while, I'll go to the front and take a look, and then I'll pick you up." ”

I hurriedly said, "I'll still follow you, let's go, let's continue." "I didn't dare to stop and let her leave, frankly, I was completely lost on this journey, unless it was daylight, I couldn't find it at all, and Xu Lingling, the key person, I didn't want her to disappear from my sight again.

"It's okay, it's almost there anyway, hold on a little longer, and rest when you get to the place." There was a hint of tenderness in Xu Lingling's words.
