Chapter Forty-Three: Freedom from Bondage

The distance is pulled to 100 meters.

Kashiwagi was sure that the man was the unlucky Otsuka and not some fishing law enforcement villain.

"If you don't hide and rest at noon, there shouldn't be many people running around."

He recalled the radar he had seen before, and there was not a single red dot in this area, including his, and most of them were gathered in the extreme west, as if they were deliberately avoiding his side.

It's really good.

This kind of reckless man is rare, how much money does he collect to be so conscientious?

Kashiwagi really didn't believe that this man had come thousands of miles to fulfill his promise to break his leg, and the person who didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle must have something that he couldn't refuse.

"Otsuka!"

He shouted directly, hoping for a response.

Unfortunately, it didn't.

The young man was probably unconscious, and Kashiwagi couldn't help but ask Kodora to speed up his pace and take a possible trap.

There are no absolutes in the world, so it's good to be vigilant.

A minute later.

Fighting with the air, he came to Otsuka's side, quickly checked the latter's breathing and heartbeat, and then took out the bandana he had snatched back and soaked it with water, wiped the blood and dust off his face, and focused on taking care of the mouth, nose and eyes.

After that, he took a small pill from his pocket and mixed it with water to obey it.

The pills are mainly life-saving, not much other effect, and can stabilize some injuries for a period of time, so that there is time to rescue them.

The price is a little expensive, but it's not that bad to save your life.

Now it can really come in handy.

After doing what he had to do, Kashiwagi checked Otsuka's injuries again - it can only be said that it was terrible, even with the medical standards of the Ouray area, this guy would have to lie down for a month to recover.

"It's okay not to die."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Not much.

A vague moan came from Otsuka's mouth, and his closed eyes bounced slightly.

"Uh......"

"Awake? Give a response. ”

"I ...... I'm already dead, and I can dream of you? Otsuka's voice was unusually hoarse, and his eyes gradually opened, and he saw Kashiwagi sitting next to him.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely ugly expression.

Kashiwagi's expression remained unchanged, and he shook his right hand and said, "If you delay for a while, you may really die, how much is this?" ”

"I look like a second ......"

"Your brain isn't bad, congratulations."

This kind of cold joke can't be understood by Otsuka at this time.

He looked back at the turquoise sky and muttered, "...... I'm not dead...... Woowoowoo......"

A suppressed sobbing sound squeezed out of her throat, and tears soon overflowed her eyes.

The happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made Otsuka so excited that he couldn't breathe, and he even coughed, retched again, and cried and laughed in embarrassment.

But where does he care?

As long as he was alive, he was very happy.

"By the way, the person is dead, if you want to stab him, your current state may not be realistic." Kashiwagi said quietly, "Can you move your arms?" You can't move me to help you call for help. ”

The bracelet is monitored, and it will only take effect if the person is willing to use it, which is too troublesome.

And Otsuka is obviously more concerned about the previous sentence than the rescue.

"You...... Killed Ken? ”

"To be precise, he was sunburned to death, and I just beat him to a serious injury." Kashiwagi smiled at him, trying to make him happy, "It's too cheap to stab him to death." ”

"Hahaha...... You're so vicious. ”

Otsuka squeezed out an ugly smile and tried to lift his arm to tap the bracelet.

It's a pity that it is useless except to make yourself grin with pain, and you still have to let the cypress wood assist in using it.

Drip.

The call for help was successful.

Both breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere became more pleasant, though it was still hot.

Taking this opportunity, Kashiwagi asked, "Speaking of which, why don't you reveal my position and make up any one of them, I don't think you're that kind of stupid." ”

From the day they first met, it can be found that Otsuka's speed of admitting is actually very fast, and he is not the kind of guy who doesn't admit his mistake with his neck.

It perfectly interprets what it means to bully the soft and fear the hard.

So when he heard Ken say that he refused to speak, Kashiwagi was very surprised.

"Why......"

Otsuka stared blankly at the sky, "Actually, I don't know ...... either"

"Don't know?"

"Hehe, maybe it's just a twitch of the head, or I think that no matter whether I say it or not, I won't be let go...... Hehehe. Otsuka laughed to himself, even though there was no laughing point in it.

But actually.

He had the answer in his heart.

Why didn't you tell the whereabouts of Kashiwagi when you were about to be killed, even if you made one up?

The reason is simple, because of what little self-esteem is left.

When his life is on the verge of dying, Otsuka finds that many memories come to mind, from birth to babbling, to getting the first PokΓ©mon, and even supporting the entire family.

He thought about it and felt that his life was so barren, that he had given up too many things for something, that he had too many regrets, and that he had too many things that he wanted to do but could not do.

Putting aside foreign objects like PokΓ©mon, his whole being is empty and nothing.

Without any pursuit of one's own, living for the sake of living, life has always been depressing.

"Your world and mine are too small, I hope we can break through the shackles of Huang Tiezhen one day and polish our eyes to see the real world."

The real world, what is the real world?

Is he qualified to see it with nothing?

That moment.

Otsuka was like a life-saving straw, clutching at what little pride he had left, and he knew that he couldn't see the real world in Kashiwagi's mouth.

But he really, really didn't want to die such a humble death.

"Hey, Kashiwagi, will you leave Huangtie Town?"

He struggled to turn his head to look at the close, but hazy man.

The man responded, "Sooner or later, it will." ”

"That ......"

[Can you take me with you?] 】

Otsuka found himself as if he was dumb, unable to speak for a long time, and he knew that it was his subconscious that he felt unworthy.

The dregs in the gutter should stay in the gutter forever.

And at this time.

The hazy figure suddenly came over, and Otsuka only felt that in front of him, the cypress became clearly visible, as if an illusory film had been punctured.

The other party lifted his eyelids and forcibly made him stick out his tongue, doing some doctor-only movements.

"Why are you dumb? Craving water? ”

"Not ......"

"What were you going to say just now, take you with me?"

"Ugh."

"Do you want to travel together? Personally, I'm not a big fan of teaming, so forget it. Kashiwagi waved his hand in disgust and refused, "I also recommend that you go out by yourself." ”

The tone of course made Otsuka a little stunned.

"Myself?"

"Or else? Or you can call your sister, call your parents, and travel together as a family. ”

Travel together as a family.

The unfamiliar vocabulary made Otsuka a little dizzy.

In Kashiwagi's tone, leaving Huangtie Town and even leaving the Oulei region seemed like a very simple thing, or a very common kind.

He muttered to himself, "Go ...... yourself"

"Yes, get out of Huangtie Town while you're young and see what the rest of the place is like. Don't stare at this little place. ”

Kashiwagi said with some emotion: "This world is much more exciting than you think. ”

Otsuka: "......"

The two gradually fell silent.

The next second.

He suddenly asked, "Should I go to school?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense."

Kashiwagi scolded casually, "If you don't know how to read, you can't even read a map!" Take the head and go on a trip! ”
