Chapter 185 Deserted Village
This is an old-style residential area that has been abandoned for a long time. It should have been a village in the past. Later, due to inconvenient transportation, the villagers moved to the foot of the mountain one after another. Gradually, no one lived in the village, and now it has become a dilapidated scene.
I began to feel so angry that I couldn't suppress it anymore. My uncle was such a bastard. He actually left my cousin alone in such an uninhabited place.
It was winter, and the temperature in the mountains was several degrees lower than that at the foot of the mountain. It would be really freezing to death to spend the night in such a place.
Sure enough, as soon as he got out of the car, my brother-in-law wanted to rush up and hit someone, but my uncle stopped him and said, "Save Jundi first."
Before, they just talked about releasing him, but now everyone feels that the situation may be very bad.
My uncle had a bitter face and ran towards a dilapidated courtyard in the village, muttering, "I really didn't mean to do it. I really forgot about it after drinking too much these past few days."
My brother-in-law was the first to rush into the yard and pushed open the half-closed door. After a creaky sound, we went in, but found that there was no one inside.
My brother-in-law roared, "Where are the people?"
"It's in the back." My uncle ran to a wing room at the back of the house. It was called a wing room, so it should be a place for storing sundries. After he went in, he lifted a wooden board on the ground and said loudly, "Here it is."
His brother-in-law pushed him away and jumped down without even using a ladder. Fortunately, the cellar where things were stored was not deep. His brother-in-law was less than 1.8 meters tall and could just stand up straight. If Xiao Shiqiu went down, he would probably hit his head.
I wanted to go down as well, but my uncle stopped me, saying, "If you can't help, don't make things worse."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard his brother-in-law wailing: "Jundi!! Jundi!! Wake up, don't scare me, it's all my fault, I came too late!" Then he started crying loudly.
My uncle jumped in with surprise, "What happened to Jundi?!"
My tears suddenly burst out and my legs went weak, and I was about to sit on the ground. Xiao Shiqiu grabbed me, held me in his arms, and kept patting my back.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" I couldn't stop crying.
My uncle was so frightened that his face turned pale. His legs gave way and he knelt on the ground, muttering, "I didn't mean to do that. I really didn't mean to. I was just afraid she would get out. I didn't want to kill her. It's over now. It's over now."
Suddenly, I heard my uncle say loudly, "Jundi is still breathing, rush to the hospital."
I was crying so hard that I was out of breath, but when I heard my uncle's words, my crying stopped abruptly. It stopped a little too quickly, and I held my breath back. I then started to hiccup regularly.
"Carry the person up~hiccup~
Hurry to the hospital~hiccup~
Going to the county hospital~hiccup~
Go start the car first~hiccup~"
My cousin looked at me with a complicated expression, and Xiao Shiqiu also looked at me with a hard-to-speak expression, "You'd better stop talking for now."
I was a little embarrassed, "Okay~ burp~"
I also realized that this speaking rhythm was really not suitable for the tense atmosphere at the moment, so I wisely shut up.
Soon, my brother-in-law and uncle worked together to lift my unconscious cousin up. She looked pale and her lips were peeling.
There were obvious deep marks on her wrists, her pants were dirty, and she smelled bad when she came out, but her brother-in-law didn't show any disgust at all, and still picked her up carefully as if she were a treasure.
The hem of the clothes hung down, and I saw a shocking dark red bloodstain on the hem of the cream-colored down jacket.
