Chapter 16
Li Guorong sat down on the ground, looked at the dark night, and said regretfully: "Brother, we shouldn't have listened to Xue'er's suggestion. In order to scare Ying'er, we deliberately left her on the mountain."
Li Guoqing took Li Ying's fallen shoes, pursed his lips into a straight line, with a look of annoyance on his face, and shouted loudly toward the mountain: "Ying'er, Ying'er, where are you? You heard Brother Ying's voice."
"Ying'er, big brother just wants to scare you. Big brother is wrong. As long as you come out, big brother will apologize to you."
Li Guoqing hoped to hear Li Ying's cry and respond to him, but after waiting for a long time, he heard nothing and his heart sank, as if he had fallen into an abyss.
"Second brother, let's go home."
Li Guorong stood up, and the two brothers walked down the mountain.
A gust of wind blew, and Li Guoqing shivered, thinking to himself, why did the air suddenly become colder? Should not be!
His ears suddenly felt cold, as if someone was blowing cold air into them, making all the hair on his body stand up.
Li Guorong was pushed on the back, his body fell forward uncontrollably, and he pounced on a dog to eat shit.
"Brother, why are you pushing me?"
There was complaint in his voice, mixed with a hint of anger.
Li Guoqing was confused. He did not recommend Li Guorong! Li Guoqing bent down and pulled Li Guorong up, and clarified: "I didn't push you."
Li Guorong was stunned. The person walking behind him was Li Guoqing. He wasn't the one who pushed him, so who was it?
The two brothers continued walking down the mountain.
Li Guoqing felt like there were things surrounding him, which made his hair stand on end. He said to Li Guorong who was walking in front, "Walk faster."
Li Guorong also wanted to walk faster, but it was too dark and he couldn't see the way clearly.
When Li Guoqing and Li Guorong were about to reach Sanchakou, they saw a white shadow standing under the big tree at Sanchakou.
The two of them stopped at the same time and stared blankly at the person standing under the big tree. Who is this person?
Why are you here?
The white shadow looked very strange. Whether it was a human or a ghost, Li Guoqing and Li Guoqing didn't want to get close. They hid quietly in the grass and waited for their parents to come to them.
Li Ying slowly opened her eyes. She couldn't see anything in the pitch black. She wanted to cry and ask for help, but her intuition told her that she couldn't cry or scream. It would only attract monsters, who would kill her. Eat.
Li Ying struggled to sit up, huddled up in fear, buried her head, and blended into the night. She was only accompanied by hunger and fear.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Ying was so hungry that she couldn't bear it anymore. She opened her small satchel, fumbled in the bag and took out a candy. She carefully peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into her mouth.
Li Ying sat in the dark with sugar in her mouth and tears. She hated Li Guorong and Li Guoqing now. If they hadn't left her on the mountain, she wouldn't be sitting here alone now. She would be with her father and mother. Grandma was together, sleeping in a warm bed.
Dad, Mom, why haven't you come to take Ying'er home? Fatigue and sleepiness invaded Li Ying, causing her to slowly close her eyes.
The sound of "rustling" came from a distance.
Li Guoqing and Li Guorong's bodies froze, with looks of horror on their faces, and their heartbeats were beating like wild deer.
Is this the sound of shoes stepping on the grass? Someone is walking towards them?
who is it?
Is it that white shadow just now?
The sound of "rustling" was particularly clear in the quiet night, hitting Li Guorong and Li Guoqing's hearts like a heavy hammer.
Li Guorong was trembling all over and grabbed Li Guoqing's arm. Li Guoqing held the hatchet tightly, and the two of them looked ahead warily.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Li Guorong was patted gently on the back. It was very light, and the cold touch made him unable to ignore it. It frightened him, and the suffocating fear hit his brain and nerves, hitting the depths of his soul. Guoqing felt his shoulders sink, and a cold voice sounded behind him, "Finally I found you."
Li Guoqing's head went blank for a while, and he subconsciously slashed backwards with his knife, shouting in panic: "Ahhhh..."
Li Meng saw Li Guoqing slashing at him like a madman, and shouted angrily: "You kid is crazy!"
A flashlight shone on Li Guoqing's face, and the dazzling light made Li Guoqing subconsciously close his eyes.
Li Yun saw Li Guoqing and Li Guorong sitting in the grass, but did not see Li Ying. His expression changed drastically, "National Day, where is Ying'er? Where is your sister?"
Li Guoqing heard Li Yun's voice and looked at Li Yun blankly. His hand loosened and the hatchet in his hand fell to the ground, and he sat helplessly on the ground.
Lin Qingxuan shined a flashlight on Li Guoqing and Li Guorong and said, "Li Yun, your two boys are probably scared."
Fang Li squatted in front of Li Guorong, held Li Guorong's cold hand, and looked at Li Guorong nervously, "Guorong, don't be afraid. Tell mom, where is your sister?"
Li Guorong's hand was wrapped in warmth, and he recovered from the shock and said, "Sister, I'm gone."
Li Yun's body shook. Sure enough, something happened. He shouldn't have had hope for these two boys.
"Damn it! You actually lost Ying'er. How did you become a brother? No wonder you dare not go home even after dark. Ying'er is really unlucky for eight lifetimes to have a brother like you." Li Meng blurted out angrily. .
The village chief said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's more important to find Ying'er."
Li Yun kicked Li Guoqing over and shouted sternly: "Tell me what's going on quickly. If you can't find Ying'er, you two shouldn't go home."
Seeing Li Yun's fierce look, Li Guoqing temporarily forgot about all fears and ghosts. He told the story of the incident tremblingly, then took out Li Ying's shoes from his trouser pocket and handed them to Li Yun.
Fang Li started to cry. How could she have such a cold-blooded son? Ying'er was their biological sister!Why leave her alone on the mountain?
Li Yun took the shoes, his heart ached, and tears flashed in his eyes.
The village chief was really angry and couldn't help but kick Li Guoqing, "You bastard, why don't you hurry up and lead the way?"
Li Guoqing and Li Guorong got up and took Li Yun and the others to the col.
"Ying'er is still young and shouldn't be able to walk very far. Everyone, look for her nearby and shout when you find her." The village chief said loudly.
A dozen people dispersed in a hurry, looking for Li Ying everywhere.
Li Yun and Fang Li were also shining flashlights around, with Li Guorong and Li Guorong following closely behind them.
"Li Yun, village chief, come here quickly. Is there any blood here?" Lin Qingxuan shouted.
After hearing Lin Qing's words, Li Yun and Fang Li turned pale and staggered towards Lin Qing's direction.
Li Guorong and Li Guoqing were so frightened that they cried. If something happened to their sister, their end would be tragic.
Fang Li and Li Yun looked at the blood on the ground. This must be Ying'er's blood, and Ying'er must have been injured.
Fang Li could no longer suppress her inner sadness and worry, and burst into tears.
Li Yun's whole body seemed to have been drained of strength. He held on to the tree trunk beside him and burst into tears. It was all his fault. If he had come to Ying'er earlier, nothing would have happened to Ying'er.
The sun shines into the cave, and a ray of sunlight shines on Li Ying's body. She slowly opens her eyes, and what greets her is no longer darkness, but light. She reaches out her hand, and the sun shines on her hand.
It's great that it's finally dawn!
Li Ying stood up, looked around, and found that she had fallen into a cave. The cave was very deep, and she could not climb up because of her short hands and feet.
