Although he found a quiet environment, he dried his body by the way and temporarily solved the predicament.The middle-aged male villager said that he would take them back to a village not far from here early in the morning so that they could have a good rest.

"How did you make yourself like this? This girl looks very sick." The man said, "I'm afraid that the two of you came back from the outside, and the police will find me later. I can't explain it. .”

Gu Nianyi thought in his heart that I am the policeman, waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, we won't lie to you."

"Hey, it's very chaotic here now, and the police are squatting on guard every three days." The middle-aged man waved his hand, "The forest areas here are all owned by their owners, and this area is under the contracted jurisdiction of our family. You can go to see the next one." People, you have to walk more than ten or twenty kilometers."

Gu Nianyi said: "Where is the nearest village here? Is there a police station where I can report the crime?"

"Yes, we have them in our village. I'll take you there tomorrow." The man said, "Are you going to call the police? You can call 110 with my phone."

Gu Nianyi shook his head and said, "It's okay, I will take my sister with me when the time comes."

"Then I'll fetch some water, you go to bed first." The man said, "Have a good rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do."

The man came back from fetching water, turned off the light, and lay down on the bed opposite him, and soon started snoring, but Gu Nianyi couldn't fall asleep anyway.

He leaned against the edge of the bed, with his cheek against the edge of the bed, as long as the nightmare-like experience could not pass, he was afraid that he would never sleep well.So he stayed half asleep and half awake until dawn, when he heard the middle-aged man get up.

"Morning." Gu Nianyi said, his voice was almost speechless.

"Morning, I'll get some water," the man said.

When the man went out, Gu Nianyi stood up with the help of the bed frame. He glanced at the arm he was supporting.The bones of the arm protrude more clearly than usual, like skeletons covered with skin.

Seeing Xu Luo like this, Xu Luo would be worried to death.

Gu Nianyi was about to wake up the girl, so he walked to the bed and said, "Little girl, wake up."

The girl didn't move, she was still asleep.

"Little girl?" Gu Nianyi patted her arm again, and when he put his hand on her forehead, he realized that her forehead was terribly hot.

Gu Nianyi hurriedly helped her up, trying to wake her up, fearing that she had fallen into a deep coma.

"Hey, little girl, wake up." Gu Nianyi said, "Can you hear me?"

The girl didn't move a little after he yelled a few times. She was already in a state of fever and dehydration, and her lips were covered with blisters. Gu Nianyi searched the house and found no water, so he could only wrap her tightly with his clothes. , carried the girl out the door, and when he wanted to call out to the middle-aged male villager, he suddenly saw him standing not far away.

In front of him were two men dressed in black that were incompatible with those around them. Gu Nianyi suffered a cardiac arrest. He took a look and quickly squatted down.

When did they find it? !

Did you already know that Gu Nianyi is here?

Gu Nianyi was afraid that the villagers would take some advantage from them, or he simply believed that the other party was looking for him and betrayed their whereabouts directly.

Fortunately, the haystack on the side gave him cover. The moment he took the girl along the haystack, he saw the middle-aged man pointing in the direction of his home.

The two men in black strode towards his house as soon as he finished his movements.

Sure enough, he came to look for them, and the middle-aged man also betrayed his position.

Gu Nianyi hurriedly hugged the girl and circled around to the back of the house. The surrounding area was empty, only the forest, and he heard the man's voice from a distance:

"Are they still there when I go out?"

"Strange, why is it gone? It was there 5 minutes ago."

Gu Nianyi's chest was pounding, he knew he had to leave, if he didn't fight, both he and the little girl would die here.But he didn't care about me in the slightest about his current state, so while praying not to see him, he moved slowly towards the forest.

He secretly counted three times in his heart, then put the little girl down and let her lie on his shoulders, Gu Nianyi tightened his arms, and started running regardless.

He didn't dare to look back, for fear that someone would be chasing him behind him. It was fine in the past, but in his current state, he didn't have any hope that he could escape safely.

Moreover, the girl was in a very different state from yesterday. Yesterday she had a clear mind and was able to follow closely behind him. Now her body temperature is very hot, and she can feel it even outside of Gu Nianyi's thin and tattered coat. Clearly.Today Gu Nianyi also walked with her behind his back, but he couldn't hear her voice at all, as if he was going to die at any moment.

I don't know if I alarmed anyone or not. This forest seems to be wider and deeper than what they passed through yesterday. In the cold winter, the branches without leaves stretched to the sky, Gu Nianyi raised his head and took a look.

The gray sky seemed to be about to rain heavily.

He didn't know why he thought of the forest where his father was buried, and the scene his father saw at the last moment of his life.

It's strange why I think of this now.

"Brother..." The girl suddenly called out to him.

"It's okay, they can't catch up with us..." Gu Nianyi looked at the front and said.

"Brother, no." The girl raised her hand, "Brother, it's raining."

Gu Nianyi just felt the raindrops falling on his face. If they continue to run like this, the rain will hit the girl's back. She already has a fever, and being exposed to the rain will only make her condition worse.Gu Nianyi put her down, and he looked back. The road when he came was muddy, and their footprints were obvious. It turned out that he had only traveled so far. If they were really discovered just now, they should be there soon. will catch up.

"Brother." The girl pulled his clothes, she seemed to see Gu Nianyi's concerns, and just said, "Don't worry about me, you can go on your own."

"I won't go by myself after I bring you out." Gu Nianyi picked her up again, and propped up the thin coat for her to cover her back, "Put it on, let's go."

He looked forward with eagle-like eyes and let out a long sigh.

"If we are caught back again." Gu Nianyi walked quickly, "I am also ready to die, but before that, I still want to take you out."

"Brother, I also think I'm dying." The girl whispered in his ear.

"Don't say stupid things." Gu Nianyi said, "You won't die."

"...Mr. Shi saved my life. I was about to die when he saved me." The girl said, "Afterwards he gave me medicine, and I felt very light in my body. I don't remember many things from the past. .I just remember my brother..."

She lay on Gu Nianyi's shoulder, buried half of her face, "Brother, I miss my brother."

"I will see my brother." Gu Nianyi gritted his teeth and said, "I promise."

The girl said: "No, brother."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, he could hardly hear the girl's voice in his ears, a thin dress was soaked in a short time, Gu Nianyi's forehead and hair were all drenched to his scalp and stuck in front of his eyes.He couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north for a long time. He only knew that he might be going in this direction, but if he walked around and returned to the original place, it was not impossible.

He didn't dare to think about it. He had no other way but to move forward.

The girl didn't know if she had fallen asleep on his shoulders, her arms were dangling. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Gu Nianyi could no longer walk. He saw a simple small tent in the woods, maybe It's not even a small tent, it's a poncho and two bamboo poles. It seems that someone once took a short rest here, and finally left these to the people behind.

But this is undoubtedly a life-saving existence, Gu Nianyi's body urgently needs to rest.

He put the girl down, let her hide under the little poncho for a while, and then followed him.

There is not much space inside, and the two of them had to be close to each other. The moment Gu Nianyi sat down, he didn't have any strength left. He almost lost consciousness due to fatigue and exhaustion, and passed out. Relying on the last bit of willpower Holding on, I went to check on the girl's situation.

"Little girl." Gu Nianyi said weakly, "Don't worry, we can go out when the rain stops, and I will take you to find your brother."

He smiled, and spoke with some pride in his voice: "Do you know who my brother is? My brother is a policeman. As long as we go out, I will make them pay the price."

"..." The girl leaned against the other side of the tent, closed her eyes, and didn't seem to hear what he said. She was silent for a while, and then said, "Brother, I actually have a name."

"Really? What's your name?..." Gu Nianyi almost closed his eyes.

He didn't hear the girl's words and fell asleep.

……

"Gu Nianyi, wake up—"

"Wake up—"

"!"

In his sleep, someone was shaking him vigorously, calling his name.There was no buffer between Gu Nianyi's deep dream and waking up. He was still traveling through the endless forest in his dream. The girl became heavier and heavier in his arms. When Gu Nianyi looked down, he was startled. The face of the person in his arms was pale and blue-gray. He was opening his eyes, his pupils dilated and his head bowed. It was Xu Luo who had lost all life.

Xu Luo died in his arms, and he was running with Xu Luo in this forest.

"what--"

"Ah-ah-ah-"

Gu Nianyi let out a hoarse scream from his throat, and jumped up from the bed: "Xu Luo—"

"Gu Nianyi!" The person in front of him called out to him.

Gu Nianyi screamed like crazy, struggled and screamed, his hands desperately stretched forward to hold the light in front of him, neither of them held him.

"Come and click!"

"Gu Nianyi, Gu Nianyi!..."

As if Gu Nianyi didn't hear, he struggled to get rid of everything in front of him.

"What's wrong?! Gu Nianyi, it's okay!"

Someone came to his side, he was grabbed by the shoulders, and he was held in his arms, even though he struggled twice, he did not let go.

Gu Nianyi took a quick breath, leaning his cheek against the visitor's chest, and the other person's hand patted his back lightly: "It's okay, Niannian, it's me, I'm here, it's okay..."

The damp smell spread in his nostrils.

Similarly, there is a smell that Gu Nianyi is all too familiar with.

Mixed with lavender washing powder and some faint milk fragrance, Gu Nianyi gradually calmed down, as if he had returned to the present reality from the long forest.The spots of light in front of him gradually faded, and images fell on his retinas. In front of Gu Nianyi, instead of an endless forest, he was held in a familiar embrace.

Only then did he realize that his hands were tightly clenched, the other hand was holding his hand, and the other hand was stroking his back.

"Wake up, he's awake!"

"Gu Nianyi!—"

The people around started chattering, grabbing Gu Nianyi to check his injuries.Before Gu Nianyi raised his head, Xu Luo had already held his face, looking at the left and right sides to check the wound on his face: "...does it hurt?"

"..." Gu Nianyi sucked in his breath, "...Am I dreaming?"

"It's not dreaming, it's me." Xu Luo hugged him again, "We found you."

"Xu Luo..." Gu Nianyi confirmed again and again that this was not a dream, holding Xu Luo's face in both hands, choked up and said, "It's really you, Xu Luo."

Xu Luo's eyes were red, and tears kept rolling in his eyes when he shouted, "I'm sorry, I just found you now."

Gu Nianyi didn't know what he looked like now. In just a few days, he was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. There were large and small wounds all over his body, some of which were even bleeding pus. He was close to 1.9 meters tall and weak. It looks like it's going to break.

After Xu Luo received his call last night, he quickly located the location through the mobile phone signal. In the afternoon, the search team found him in the nearby forest and brought him back to the nearest railway hospital.

His body is dehydrated, extremely weak, and his condition is not good in all aspects. He needs to hang glucose to maintain his body functions.

"Finally woke up." Sun Chengming was also sitting next to him, seeing this, he said, "Although we are not suitable here...but we should leave some time for us to understand the situation, and then let you have a good reunion."

"What are you talking about..." Gu Nianyi laughed as he spoke.

When he laughed, there were laugh lines on both cheeks due to weight loss, and Sun Chengming felt sore when he saw it, and said, "Why are you so thin... Gu Zai."

"It's a long story." Gu Nianyi shook his head and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, is there a little girl with me? Is she okay?"

"Her condition is not very optimistic." Xu Luo said aside, "She has inflammation in her body, and she also has congenital heart disease. The local medical conditions cannot meet the current situation. We can't leave until tonight."

"Gu Zai, who is she? Where's her family?" Sun Chengming also asked, "The doctor said that even if she is treated, it will be difficult for her to escape from danger. We must be prepared for her critical illness at any time. We must notify her family as soon as possible."

"She escaped from Shi Liangyu with me, and she saved me." Gu Nianyi closed his eyes, "I will pay for the medical expenses, please, I must, save her."

"Cough, cough, cough—" He coughed vigorously a few times, and Xu Luo pacified him so that he could feel more comfortable.

"Thank you." Gu Nianyi said.

"Why do you thank me." Xu Luo whispered, "Don't thank me."

Surrounded by people, the two of them didn't dare to do anything too intimate. Xu Luo was called to get medicine for him, so Gu Nianyi took his hand and said, "I miss you very much."

"I miss you too." Xu Luo squeezed his fingers, "Wait for me to come back."
