Scattered footsteps began to be heard outside. Song Jingmian did not dare to speak anymore and leaned uneasily next to Bo Jingci.
"Go to bed early tonight. We have to rush early tomorrow morning." A conversation between a man and a woman began to come from outside the house.
"What should we do with these two children tonight?" The speaker was a woman.
"Those two kids?" The man smiled scornfully, "They are only so big, can they run away?"
"Okay, they are all tied up tightly. They won't run away. Go to sleep peacefully."
The conversation between the two became weaker and weaker. Bo Jingci tilted his head and whispered to her, "Let's quietly open the window and leave from there."
Song Jingmian said nothing, but nodded seriously.
Afraid of disturbing the sleeping two people, they didn't dare to move too much. It took a certain amount of strength to open an abandoned window.
In particular, this house has been abandoned for a long time, and the windows are very old wooden ones. If you push them open hard, it will make a loud noise.
So, the two of them worked slowly, and finally after a long period of hard work, the window was finally opened.
"Tongtong, I'm dragging you."
"good."
"Come on, be careful, don't get hurt."
Song Jingmian nodded slightly.
Later, when Bo Jingci climbed up the window, Song Jingmian reached out to catch him, and he reached out to cover her little hand.
The two of them tiptoed out of the abandoned house, because it was the middle of the night and they were in a small village. The sound of frogs could be heard from time to time in the quiet night.
It was very cold at night, and the two of them had not eaten enough. After walking for a while, Song Jingmian felt a little tired and said aggrievedly: "Brother Aci, I can't walk anymore."
Bo Jingci had been holding her hand since he came out. At this moment, he tilted his head slightly: "Hold on, let's go further."
She bit her lip: "...Okay."
Suddenly, the two of them were stung by a sudden burst of light, "Damn, over there!"
Then, the light from the flashlight became more and more dazzling.
"Run!" Bo Jingci suddenly squeezed her little hand tightly and said firmly.
The two ran into the woods. From the sound, the man and woman should be still some distance away from them. They found a place where branches were piled up and squatted down. Watching the flashlight light getting closer, Bo Jingci took off one of his shoes. Throw it in the opposite direction.
"Shh." He made a hushing gesture.
The man and woman caught up and yelled, "Fuck, they ran away. When I catch them, I'll take advantage of them!"
"There, go and take a look, just in case you hide there."
The woman walked closer and closer, and Bo Jingci and Song Jingmian tried their best to bend down. Fortunately, the branches were large, dense, and wrapped in layers of leaves.
The two of them are small, so it's not difficult to squeeze in.
As the woman gradually approached them, Song Jingmian shook her body in fear.
Bo Jingci reached out to cover her mouth, and patted her back gently with his other hand, silently comforting her.
Suddenly, an unknown animal passed behind them, and a "squeak" sound diverted the woman's attention.
"Damn it, Brother Dong, there's a shoe here, they're gone!"
The man named Dong Ge hurriedly ran to her side, laughing extremely wildly, looking particularly gloomy in the dark night.
"Oh, even if you lose one shoe, you can't run very far."
Then, the two took steps and chased forward.
Bo Jingci and Song Jingmian, who relied on each other, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"never mind."
He touched her head awkwardly.
——
The next day.
Song Jingmian woke up from hunger, but when she woke up, Bo Jingci was no longer around.
Being alone in a strange place and bearing great fear, she panicked almost instantly.
"Brother Aci!"
"Brother Aci, where are you?"
But she called several times but received no response. After an unknown amount of time, her tears fell down like disconnected threads.
"Woooo..."
She was alone, hungry, and fear swept through her body. She wiped her tears with her dusty little hands and comforted herself in her heart.
She didn't know why her brother Aci was missing when she woke up, and she thought of the bedtime stories her parents had told her.
People can easily be eaten by these wild beasts in the forest. So was Brother Aci eaten by a wild beast yesterday?
The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt, and her tears fell worthlessly. She didn't know how long she had been walking. She just felt that her head was getting more and more dizzy, and her eyes were getting blurry. When her consciousness was blurred, there was only the blue sky in front of her eyes. .
——
"President, do you want to take a rest first?"
Bo Jingci had held several meetings in a row before. Later, when he learned that Song Jingmian was in trouble, he hurried to the hospital and stayed there for a long time.
"Need not."
Xiao Zhang saw the faint green color in his eyes and sighed.
The doctor said that my wife was fine, except for a head injury and a few minor scratches on her body.
But she just didn't wake up yet.
There was some movement at the door of the ward.
Bo Jingci raised his eyes, looked at the person, and immediately straightened up: "Dad, Mom."
Song Jingmian's parents nodded and asked worriedly: "I'm not awake yet..."
Bo Jingci said softly: "Yes."
"Don't worry, parents. The doctor said it's nothing serious."
"Uh-huh."
"You go and rest first, we will take care of Mianmian."
Bo Jingci just shook his head, "I'm not worried."
"You also said that there is nothing serious about Mianmian, so just relax."
Song Jingmian's mother sighed: "I don't want to see you looking decadent when I wake up."
Bo Jingci said dumbly: "...Okay."
He lowered his head and looked at his clothes. He was no longer as neat as usual. His clothes were wrinkled and his hair was a little messy.
——
evening.
When Bo Jingci arrived in the ward, Song Jingmian hadn't woken up yet.
Song Jingmian's parents came to take care of her all afternoon, and after Bo Jingci came to take over, the two went back to rest.
As soon as I arrived in the ward, the phone rang again.
"Hello, aunt." Bo Jingci's voice was a little hoarse.
"Are you awake yet?"
Bo Jingci said quietly: "Not yet."
"Is the injury serious?"
Bo Jingci raised his eyes and looked at the person on the hospital bed. His head was wrapped in gauze, his face was very haggard, and there were some small wounds on his face.
"Kind of."
After chatting with my aunt for a few more words, I hung up the phone.
Bo Jingci sat down beside the hospital bed and looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart skipped a beat.
He reached out to hold her little hand, lowered his head slightly, and unconsciously murmured: "Mianmian..."
The only response he received was quiet air.
He carefully stroked her hand, looking at her unconscious state, his heart throbbed with pain, and he wished he could go through all this for her.
He raised her hand and gently pressed it against his forehead, feeling her warmth.
This action lasted for a long time, and just when Bo Jingci was about to put it down, her little finger suddenly moved.
Bo Jingci was stunned for a moment. After he realized something, his gloomy mood seemed to brighten after seeing the sunshine, and he looked at her expectantly.
Song Jingmian slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw him for the first time, a weak smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth, and tears shone in her eyes.
"Aci...brother."
