Tonight is destined to be another hopeless night.
"Lin Jiaojiao, how is it? What's the situation outside? I can't hold on any longer."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Xiaoshi's legs couldn't help but bend and she fell to the ground. Lin Jiaojiao lost her support and grabbed the wall with her arms, her feet hanging in the air. After a while, her arms could no longer support her.
She made up her mind and jumped down.
She didn't blame Wang Xiaoshi. It was normal for girls to have less strength.
"I can't go out tonight. There are people everywhere outside and the mountain is full of lights." Lin Jiaojiao said, leaning against the wall.
Wang Xiaoshi put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't believe it. I want to see it too!"
Lin Jiaojiao: “…”
"OK!"
The weather is very good tonight, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky, looking beautiful.
But the two of them had no intention of appreciating it.
They had slept for a long time during the day and couldn't fall asleep now.
"Jiaojiao, how much food do you have left?"
Lin Jiaojiao handed the schoolbag to her directly. Wang Xiaoshi looked through it and said, "There's a lot of bread, instant noodles, and biscuits, but there's no water."
The two of them happily started their second meal of the day, each munching on a piece of bread.
Suddenly, there was a sound from the big iron lock outside the door.
It's the sound of the door opening!
The two looked at each other, quickly squatted behind the firewood in the corner, and curled up as hard as they could.
Why did the owner of this house suddenly come back! ?
A sound of footsteps was heard, coming from far away and then slowly moving away, but it stayed in the yard and did not leave.
He was obviously wandering around or observing something.
The footsteps are very light!
But it stepped heavily on the hearts of the two.
Lin Jiaojiao held her breath nervously and clenched her hands tightly.
Are you going to be discovered?
Why am I so unlucky?
Doesn’t God help them?
The moonlight cast long shadows on the people in the yard, just right in front of Lin Jiaojiao.
Her heartbeat quickened rapidly, and she squatted a little lower.
I prayed silently: Don’t find out! Don’t find out!
Can--
"come out!"
An indifferent male voice sounded.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't say anything, what if the other party was trying to cheat them?
The two moved along the wall towards the door, but there was a blind spot in front of them and they were blocked.
There is no way out!
The indifferent male voice sounded again, mixed with a hint of impatience.
"Come out, I don't like strangers in my house. Go wherever you want, I won't tell on you."
Things had come to this point, regardless of whether what they said was true or not, the two had no choice but to stand up.
In the middle of the yard, a thin figure stood there.
He is really thin, and you can vaguely see his bones.
Lin Jiaojiao felt much more secure. If a fight really broke out, the other party would probably not win.
The two walked towards the door, and when they passed the man, Lin Jiaojiao felt inexplicably familiar.
I couldn't help but look back again.
These facial features...
"Yunqi?" Lin Jiaojiao called out tentatively.
The boy opened the door and froze, turning around.
"You...know me?"
The room was dark, with no lights on, and only the shadows of candlelight.
The three of them sat on a small bench in the living room.
There was a bowl of noodles with a fried egg in front of each of them.
Wang Xiaoshi ate the hot noodles, feeling warm in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but move back and forth between the two people's faces.
Lin Jiaojiao actually knows someone here?
Yunqi said, "Sister Jiaojiao, is that enough? If not, I'll add some more noodles."
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and said, "That's enough."
She put down her chopsticks and looked at the boy beside her, her tone unconsciously filled with pleading, "Yunqi, can you... help us get out?"
Yunqi stopped eating noodles, looked at Lin Jiaojiao and nodded.
Lin Jiaojiao smiled relaxedly, "Thank you, Yunqi."
Yunqi lowered his head and ate noodles. "No need to thank me. You saved my grandfather, so it's my duty."
"By the way, how is Grandpa?"
Lin Jiaojiao picked up the noodles and began to eat them relaxedly.
Yunqi: "It's okay. He's currently in the hospital."
Lin Jiaojiao: "Aren't you taking care of him in the hospital?"
Yunqi: "I've been here all the time. I came back today to get some clothes to change into. I'll leave after I'm done."
Under the moonlight, three figures walked towards the hill at the end of the village.
The thin young man in the lead was calm and composed, making the two girls hunched over behind him look a little wretched.
Lin Jiaojiao quickened her pace, walked over to Yunqi, and said, "Yunqi, won't we be discovered if we go up the mountain so openly?"
Yunqi said without even turning his head, "They won't be discovered. There's no road on this hilltop. They don't go here."
At this time, Lin Jiaojiao and Wang Xiaoshi still didn't understand Yunqi's meaning.
An hour later, Lin Jiaojiao and Wang Xiaoshi slumped down on a flat surface, panting.
So tired!
I can’t climb anymore!
Yunqi stood above, looking down at them, not feeling tired at all.
Lin Jiaojiao claims to be a person with full physical strength, but her physical strength is not as good as Yunqi's.
Could it be that the system was lying to her?
Besides, there really is no road here!
The mountain road is rugged and bumpy, as if you are climbing all the time.
My back and waist ache, and there is no part of my body that is free of pain.
The three of them walked in the mountains and forests, flowers, plants and trees passed by them, and from time to time there was a rustling sound, like the sound of animals crawling.
It was very terrifying. The two followed Yunqi closely, not daring to stop at all.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a desolate mountain area.
When they reached a steep place, Yunqi jumped up, grabbed the rock wall with both hands, exerted force with his legs, and climbed up in an instant.
Lin Jiaojiao and Wang Xiaoshi stood below, looking at each other, both shocked by Yunqi's actions.
This is a steep slope as high as a person, and the two of them can't jump up...
Yunqi took out the hemp rope he had prepared in advance from his backpack and pulled them up one by one with very skillful movements.
Wang Xiaoshi looked at the skinny boy in front of her and couldn't help but praise him, "You are so amazing."
Yunqi pursed his lips, said nothing, and continued walking forward.
Lin Jiaojiao picked up a branch and held it in her hand, occasionally pushing away the weeds blocking the way.
She is afraid of mollusks.
Looking at the thin figure leading the way, Lin Jiaojiao asked, "Yunqi, how old are you this year?"
She didn't expect that Yunqi, who was so thin, could actually pull them, and it seemed so easy.
Yunqi turned his head and glanced at Lin Jiaojiao, reminding her to watch her step before answering, "18."
Wang Xiaoshi walked beside Lin Jiaojiao and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
It turns out that Yunqi can speak. She thought he was mute.
Who are you looking down on!
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the time and it was already 9 o'clock in the evening.
The three of them walked for a long time and were almost exhausted.
She took out the food from her backpack and shared it with others.
"Yunqi, take a break, okay?"
Yunqi stopped walking upon hearing this, and the three of them found a clean big rock to sit on.
Lin Jiaojiao nibbled at the bread and turned to Yunqi, saying, "Yunqi, are you really 18? You look so small."
