Chapter 2 The Green Wolf
Loud noise. A loud metal moan, followed by a loud "woo" sound. Smoke and wind filled the girl's mouth and nose in an instant, and her body lost balance. She had to open her eyes and grab her hands in a panic to grab the storage box in front of her.
It was only then that she realized that the roof was missing.
It was torn off and the windows were shattered. The car's metal beams twisted into twists, but the classic car is still driving on the road!
She immediately turned her head to look back. I saw the huge green wolf and the deformed roof of the car tumbling together on the road, stirring up huge smoke and dust. But just three seconds later, the wolf shook its head violently, grabbed the ground with all four feet, and ran wildly again!
The girl turned her face and saw Li Qingyan beside her.
What the hell...... He still sat there peacefully.
The white shirt was still as clean and neat as it was, except for the left arm with the sleeve rolled up. But the girl realized that the bloodstain was not his, but belonged to the green wolf!
Her eyes widened and she couldn't speak.
Li Qingyan glanced at her, then turned his face to look back at the unrelenting green wolf, and sighed lowly: "Give me a button." β
β...... Huh?"
"Buttons. Li Qingyan gestured to her with his gaze.
The girl didn't know what else he was going to do. But the mind no longer seemed to be able to question what he said. As if sleepwalking, she ripped off the white buttons on the collar of her plaid shirt and handed it to him.
Li Qingyan took the button and didn't look back, only threw it backwards.
There was a dull pop.
The head of the green wolf, which was leaping from the ground and leaping into the air, exploded into a cloud of blood in the gale. The headless wolf's body fell to the ground. It rolled a dozen times under the action of huge inertia, dyeing a long stretch of road bright red before it stopped.
Then he was left far behind by the car.
Star fruit could only look at the wolf corpse in amazement. When it couldn't see it, it looked at Li Qingyan in a daze.
"Do you have a handkerchief?"
β...... Yes. She replied sleepwalking.
"Give it to me. When I get to the city, I'll pay you a new one. β
β...... Good. Still sleepwalking, she took out a handkerchief with her name embroidered on it from her pocket and handed it to him.
"Help me get behind the wheel. β
β...... Good. β
So I saw him carefully wipe the blood from his left arm with a handkerchief, and even wiped the cracks between his fingernails clean. Then he threw the handkerchief out of the car, sniffed his hand, and frowned slightly.
"It's time to wash it. He took the steering wheel, "It stinks." β
When the sun set, the two abandoned the car. The classic car turned into a convertible and was pushed into the woods by Li Qingyan. Then they spent half an hour trying to find a small four-story building abandoned in the forest.
It seems to be a pre-war town. Most of the buildings have collapsed and are buried in the vegetation. In the twilight, only this building stood alone, as if it was hanging on to the days when people came and went in the past.
After beating Li Qingyan and smashing the head of the green wolf with a button, the girl didn't talk much. He became extremely well-behaved, as if he were a little servant. Follow him through the woods, and there is no attempt to escape. Because the young man's power in killing the wolf made her realize that she no longer had the power to decide her own destiny - at least for as long as this time came.
The small building should have been baptized by flames, and the doors and windows are gone. The grass grew half a man's height and covered half the doorway. Looking inside, you can only see a swarthy patch, like the lair of demons in ancient times.
"Spend the night here tonight. Li Qingyan said, "You have to get some sleep." Tomorrow we will continue on our way. β
Then he took star fruit's hand and led her into the darkness.
The girl's body trembled slightly, but she didn't make a sound or resist. Because she can't see anything. Lead-gray clouds accumulate over the wasteland all year round, and there is no moon at night. This made the building a complete dark world, and she really had to be grabbed by Li Qingyan in order to avoid the large or small debris on the ground, stumbling up the stairs and going up to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor seems to be a spacious hall, with only a few broken tables and chairs, and eight open windows. The dim night light came through the window, and the girl's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and she could see something.
So Li Qingyan let go of her. I found two fairly complete and clean chairs and rested them by the window, sat down first, and looked at the star fruit: "Take a break." Let's talk about it. β
The girl hesitated for a moment, and sat down across from him.
Li Qingyan looked out the window for a while, then retracted his gaze: "There's nothing you want to ask me? When you were in the car, you didn't like to talk like you are now." β
The girl pursed her lips and was silent for a moment before saying, "You're not safe here." β
Li Qingyan was slightly stunned and laughed: "You are bolder than ordinary girls of this age." So tell me, why isn't it safe?"
"The one you killed...... Demon Clan. The girl took a deep breath, as if to force herself to be calmer, "He's not alone. They have others. When he dies, others will surely chase him...... Will find us. At that time, we were trapped on the roof of the building, and we couldn't escape. β
"Hmm. Li Qingyan nodded, "Your concern is justified." But I wish they came. β
β...... Why?"
"Grab a few live mouths and ask them why they want you. Don't you realize that the green wolf before was looking at you, not me. β
"Ah......" The girl's face turned pale. She didn't know what to say. The uncertain fate and unknown dangers made it difficult for her to speak, and she could only clench her hands.
So I saw the young man on the other side take out the six pieces of paper from his shirt pocket and slowly unfold them in his hand.
He took out one of them and handed it to the star fruit.
"I should have written this one six months ago. Because there is a date on the paper. β
It took a hard time for the star fruit to see the "date" that Li Qingyan called in the dim light, with the words "2018.5.1" printed at the bottom of the paper.
She thought about it for a while and couldn't help but say, "But it may not have been written on this day." I have a diary with the date printed on it as well......"
"Look at this, and this. Li Qingyan handed over two more pieces of paper.
It is also written with words like "find star fruit, take her away, and save her", but on these two sheets, the time marked by yourself is written - 2018.6.1 and 2018.7.1.
"It's the same with these ones. Li Qingyan looked at the other three pieces of paper in his hand and frowned slightly, "Yesterday, on the first day of October, I woke up and saw this one next to the pillow - 'Save star fruit.'" 2018.10.1ββ
"I can be sure it's my own handwriting. You can also be sure that no one else has been in my house. But I don't remember writing about it the night before and putting it next to my pillow. β
"But if I assume that these things are my handiwork, it means that I have reminded myself six times in the same way: to save youβfor the past six months, every month. β
"So I had to find some of your information. β
