Lin Jiaruo didn't know how long she cried, the darkness and silence hid the time, and finally she was so tired that she fell asleep.

If it wasn't a nightmare to wake up, Lin Jiaruo would rather sleep all the time.

But she woke up anyway.

She was awakened from the cold, and it seemed to be much colder around her.

Is it night? She hugged herself in a ball, guessing to herself, trying to distract herself.

But as far as the eye can see, it is dark, and you can't see anything, which is more likely to breed fear in your heart.

Lin Jiaruo simply closed his eyes, and he couldn't see it anyway.

The darkness hid her trembling little body, and she forced herself to stop whimpering, because in such silence, it was also creepy to hear her own cry.

She tried hard to think of something happy, but she couldn't help but think of the last scene before she fell unconscious, thought of the blood-drenched lark, bit her lip for a long time, and was still broken by a thin murmur.

"Daddy...... Mother...... Ah Ruo is so scared......" The voice echoed in the emptiness, and then returned to her own ears, as sad as a ghost crying.

Sitting motionless in the dark for a long time, Lin Jiaruo could still feel hunger, cold and fear at first, but gradually, he couldn't feel anything, as if his whole body no longer belonged to him.

When consciousness began to blur, suddenly, a familiar floral scent entered the nostrils.

She subconsciously sniffed and felt the presence of her nose.

The room was cold and damp, with a musty smell, but it was washed out of a bright space by the fresh fragrance of flowers.

The fragrance of flowers became more and more intense, and Lin Jiaruo was in good spirits, and finally recognized it.

It's a hosta flower!

Placed under the eaves of her verandah for two consecutive years, there is no floral fragrance that can make her as familiar and friendly as a hosta flower.

For a while, Lin Jiaruo even forgot the pain on his body, and crawled over with the fragrance of flowers, and finally touched the delicate petals under the door.

Lin Jiaruo was ecstatic and picked up the flowers on the ground, brought them to the tip of his nose, smelled and smelled, and couldn't smell enough.

After being gradually soothed by the fragrance of flowers, Lin Jiaruo held the hosta flower, leaned against the door, and began to have the strength to think.

She thought and thought, stuck to the door, and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, are you here to save me?" ”

After waiting patiently for a long time, he tapped on the door a few more times.

There was no response.

She was a little disappointed, but she touched the hosta in her hand and felt that there was still hope.

It's a pity that I can't eat it! Lin Jiaruo thought, she was really hungry, so hungry that she wanted to eat flowers!

Lin Jiaruo brought the flowers to his mouth, rubbed them on his lips twice, smelled the flowers again, and couldn't help laughing.

As if he had been sitting for a long time, the cold air slowly seeped up from the ground, and Lin Jiaruo began to feel that his body was frozen and gradually lost consciousness.

Maybe you can warm up and punch once, but you really don't have any strength without eating......

When I was in a daze, I suddenly heard footsteps through the door, like a heavenly sound.

Lin Jiaruo, who didn't have any strength just now, jumped up in an instant, slammed the door hard and shouted: "Big brother, is it you?" Big brother? Get me out! Hurry up—"

The door was suddenly pushed open a small slit, and between the narrow cracks, the night sky was inky blue, and the moonlight poured down, which was as beautiful as a dream.

Lin Jiaruo was shouting excitedly to get out of this crack in the door, but saw a black figure flash through the crack in the door, and then something was thrown in.

Lin Jiaruo subconsciously avoided it, and with just such a dodge action, the door closed again, and the night and moonlight disappeared abruptly.

The blow of gaining and losing made her fall into an ice cave, and the strength that had just surged out was instantly drained, and she leaned against the door, slowly sliding to the ground, wanting to cry without tears.

I thought that these were desperate enough, but I didn't expect that there were even more terrible things waiting for her.

When the footsteps faded away, the room was dead silent.

But in the dead silence, there was a sudden sound of a sinister soo, as if some small animal was running on the ground.

Lin Jiaruo was still listening vigilantly at first, and suddenly-

"Squeak-" The thing suddenly screamed.

Lin Jiaruo's hairs stood on end all over his body.

The thing scurried around the house for a while, and finally approached Lin Jiaruo.

If Lin Jia wanted to dodge, he couldn't move his body much with all his strength, but the thing ran very fast, and it reached her side in the blink of an eye.

She was too frightened to move, holding her breath and listening to the thing's movements.

The thing paused for a moment, then restarted moving.

Suddenly, Lin Jiaruo felt that something was crawling up along her instep, climbing up her calf, and continuing to go up—

"Ahh

The screams echoed through the room, almost deafening herself.

She bounced off the ground, screaming and jumping like crazy to shake off the horrible thing that had crept on her.

"Go away! Go away! She jumped and fled, crying and screaming, not noticing if the thing was still on her or noticing that the door opened for a split second.

Suddenly, someone hugged her.

Lin Jiaruo was still immersed in the terrible memory of being touched by something strange, and when he was suddenly touched, the last string in his brain was broken.

She screamed and pounced on the man, like a bloodthirsty little beast, grabbed a piece at random, opened her mouth and bit down.

The moment her teeth sank, she heard the man cry anxiously, "Ah Ruo, it's me!" ”

The familiar voice sounded in her ears, as if a rain fell from the sky, suppressing the sky-swallowing fire in her brain, eating away little by little.

Although Lin Jiaruo stopped moving, it was as if someone had suddenly clicked on him, and the whole person was still hanging on that person, and his mouth was still biting his shoulder.

With a gentle movement, the man pulled her off her shoulders, took her in his arms, and sat down on the ground.

As soon as Lin Jiaruo's feet landed, he shrank back, and the whole person shrank into the other party's arms.

"Don't be afraid, the rat is dead!" The man comforted her softly.

"Mouse ......" Lin Jiaruo repeated in a daze, and suddenly cried loudly, and finally found an outlet for the grievances that had been accumulated for a long time.

"Rats...... The mouse ...... "She cried breathlessly, and thought about crying and complaining about grievances," Aruo...... Ah Ruo is so scared...... Rats are so scary...... Don't ......"

"Don't be afraid...... Unafraid...... It's okay...... It's okay......" The other party patted her back and comforted her softly.

As soon as the danger was lifted, Lin Jiaruo quickly lost his strength and fell dizzily into the other party's arms, unable to cry or speak.

Suddenly, something touched her lips, Lin Jiaruo subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she was immediately hooked by the aroma of food and had no reason left, so she only followed her instinct and bit the thing down in one bite.

I couldn't find any food for a while, so I could only steal half a cold steamed bun from the kitchen of a nearby family.

The daughter of the Lin family, who was pampered, did not have a picky eater, but Ah Ruo ate this half of the cold steamed bun as if it were some delicacy.

In the dark, someone's eyes gradually became cold, and the murderous aura overflowed.
