Chapter 625: The End of Changjia Village 9
The drizzle washed the mountain forest, making the already muddy road even more difficult to walk on. The shoes sank into the soft mud, and when they were pulled out, they were raised three levels.
Ye Rou had a very hard time walking, the mud stuck to her shoes, becoming heavier as she walked.
Jiang Chen suddenly stopped and squatted in front of Ye Rou.
"What..." A big hand grabbed Ye Rou's calf, interrupting her next words.
The calf was held and lifted up, and Jiang Chen picked up a wooden stick and pried off the mud from under Ye Rou's shoe.
Ye Rou stood on one leg, holding his shoulder with her hand to maintain balance: "You'll step on it again later."
Jiang Chen pried the mud off Ye Rou's shoes, pinched her calves, and reluctantly let go. He squatted in front of her, his narrow eyes filled with a gentle smile: "Come up, I'll carry you."
Ye Rou was concerned that Jiang Chen's body had not recovered yet and refused to let him carry her.
Jiang Chen half-knelt on the ground, shook his joined hands, and said with a smile: "Either carry me or hug me, there are only these two choices."
Ye Rou lowered her eyes and looked at him.
Jiang Chen half-knelt in front of her, his face, beautified by the mask, looking even more handsome.
"Pah" the tiny raindrops hit his eyelashes, he let the raindrops roll down, his eyes never leaving her.
Ye Rou reached out to wipe away the raindrop, and frankly gave the answer: "You have to recite it."
Jiang Chen patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "Come up."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sinking sensation behind him, and a soft body pressed against him, followed by delicate arms hugging his neck. Jiang Chen smiled slightly, stood up with Ye Rou on his back, and walked steadily on the rugged mountain road.
Ye Rou pressed tightly against Jiang Chen's back, and the coolness brought by the drizzle was dispelled by Jiang Chen's body temperature.
She reached out and pinched Jiang Chen's earlobe: "You carried me down the mountain like this in Dahe Village too."
At that time, she went up the mountain to stop Jiang Chen from killing people. She lied that she went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and accidentally sprained her ankle.
She originally thought Jiang Chen would abandon her, but she didn't expect him to carry her to the clinic.
Jiang Chen paused, thinking of that day.
At that time, he went up the mountain to kill people.
But because Ye Rou was there, he gave up the idea.
Thinking about it now, I suddenly feel a little fortunate.
Fortunately, she showed up in time.
Jiang Chen smiled and asked casually, "So you really went to the mountains to pick mushrooms?"
The little man on his back said slowly, "It's a secret. I won't tell you."
Ye Rou didn't want Jiang Chen to know that the world he lived in was a book.
His fate and the suffering he experienced were all written by others.
It's good like this now.
Jiang Chen lifted her up and smiled indulgently.
Near the cave where the girls were hiding, Ye Rou raised her head. Lying on Jiang Chen's back, her vision cleared, and she noticed a series of muddy footprints extending into the cave...
"Jiang Chen, wait a moment."
Jiang Chen stopped when he heard the voice.
Ye Rou stared at the footprints and said in a deep voice, "Someone has been here."
Jiang Chen frowned, his eyes swept around, and when he caught a glimpse of something, he stopped abruptly and tilted his head to look at that place carefully - bright red blood was slowly flowing along with the rain.
He approached carefully with Ye Rou on his back.
Leaning against the mountain wall were the fugitives who were responsible for guarding these girls. Before leaving, Ye Rou had tied them up tightly and injected them with sleeping pills.
The corpse lay on the ground in a triangular shape, the wound in the throat looked like a grinning mouth, and the bright red blood looked like a red carpet on the ground.
The rain, mixed with the stench of dirt and blood, was particularly pungent.
Jiang Chen knew that Ye Rou had a keen sense of smell and could not stand irritating smells, so he deliberately left her far away and approached alone, carefully observing the knife wounds on the necks of these people.
Ye Rou waited quietly on the side. After a while, Jiang Chen came back and said in a deep voice, "Liao Zhao was here."
The wound caused by the dagger weakened from right to left, and the man was killed with one blow, which was consistent with the weapon and attack method used by Liao Zhao.
Ye Rou suddenly looked towards the cave where the girl was hiding, and her face darkened.
The closer Ye Rou got to the cave, the faster her heart beat.
She locked the iron door of the cave before leaving.
The headlock was now broken and thrown roughly to the ground.
Ye Rou swallowed, staring at the rusty iron gate, her heart pounding.
She was afraid to open the door and see those girls also dead.
The door hinges groaned like they were dying.
A dozen girls huddled in a pile of moldy straw, the kerosene lamp casting their frightened shadows on the leaking earthen wall.
"Sister!" Chang Hua saw Ye Rou rushing out and threw herself into her arms.
Seeing that Chang Hua was fine, Ye Rou's hands were shaking as she held her. She was so surprised that she kept saying, "You're okay, you're okay..."
Seeing Ye Rou coming back, the remaining girls also walked out slowly. Seeing the strange man, they did not approach rashly, but stood timidly at the entrance of the cave.
Ye Rou roughly counted the number of people and made sure that no one was missing, and her heart was completely at ease.
"Sister." Chang Hua raised her head from Ye Rou's arms, her eyes, which seemed particularly large due to her thinness, filled with tears: "Afu has been taken away."
"Afu?" Ye Rou almost forgot about him.
"What happened?"
"After you leave, we will listen to you and stay in the cave obediently. We will ignore everyone except you."
"But just now, a man suddenly came and seemed to be looking for something. I heard the sound of him rummaging through things. Then he also came to the cave where we were hiding. When he saw Ah Fu, he took him away."
Chang Hua blamed herself and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Ah Fu."
Ye Rou rubbed her head: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that the bad guys are too bad."
While the two were talking, Jiang Chen had already checked the surroundings. After returning, he said, "Heading down the mountain."
Ye Rou thought of Sister Fei's last wish before her death. Since she had promised it, she had to do it.
She looked determined: "I'm going to bring him back."
Jiang Chen did not stop him, but simply said, "I'll go with you."
