Chapter 3(1/2)
I don’t know how far I ran until I saw a dilapidated thatched house with a half-person-tall weed in front of the door, and Mangli stopped.
I felt dizzy in front of me, and my lungs were so stinging that I was almost unable to breathe.
Human potential is indeed infinite.
Sang Li didn't expect that he had thin arms and legs, and he could not even carry water in the past. Now he could carry a boy who was heavier than a weight and ran for two or three hours without stopping.
It's simply a miracle.
While she was amazed, she squatted gently and let the person go.
"Host, the reason why you can run on your back is the blessing of this system, not your own strength."
Sang Li was about to respond, but when she turned around, she saw that her eyes were closed and she was already in a coma.
Her legs were so tired that she suddenly collapsed, "Xiaomian..."
The large area of moistening on his body was obviously bleeding all the way, as if it was about to flow out. The blood that oozed out was dim and thin, just like sugar water.
The system is still reminding.
"Please do not do anything beyond your own limits in the future. This system has left the server main body since the completion of the task, and will no longer have energy supply. Each consumption cannot be regenerated-"
Sang Li wanted to touch him, but was afraid of hurting him. Her mind was as panicked as it exploded, and she couldn't hear what the system was saying, "Look at how he is!"
The boy's pale and thin face looked lifeless, with his eyes closed tightly, his soft long eyelashes hanging down, without a fierce and captivating look. He was like a fragile and delicate beautiful doll.
Perhaps because he was abused in the dark scene for many years, he had a very strong tolerance for pain. Not to mention crying out the pain, he fainted and didn't even snorted.
Sang Li felt so distressed that her eyes swept back and forth on the boy.
Although the clothes were torn, they still covered most of their body. They didn't know what they were hurt in places they couldn't see.
"The host doesn't need to worry too much. He has a Xuanyin physique, and his vitality and recovery ability are far beyond ordinary people."
Although there was system support and help along the way, Sang Li's whole body was still as painful as she was, and she didn't dare to sit down and rest. "Looking at his lips so dry and white, I think he was thirsty and hungry, and there was a forest not far away. I had to get some food and drinks back quickly, and it would be better to get some herbs and bandage him."
She did not delay and quickly cleaned up the thatched hut.
I think I have been abandoned for a long time. The dust in the house has accumulated thick whiteness, and there are spiders in the corners. They are surrounded by round belly and colorful patterns. The largest one is half the size of an egg.
Sang Li's scalp was numb, so he picked up a branch at the door, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and danced his hands and feet, driving them all out.
After simply cleaning up a clean place and settled down Qu Qingmian, Sang Li was already covered in dust.
It was almost dusk, and the golden sunlight shone through the large scale clouds, dyed with orange-red gorgeous clouds.
Sang Li had to seize the time. She walked quickly, and the wind in her ears whirred into the forest not far away.
She knew that she had walked a few miles southward and there was a village called Zhangjia Village, but she had no intention of asking for help.
Last time she wore a book, she took Qu Qingmian to live in Zhangjia Village for two months, helping her with farm work and changing her mouth.
The boy was growing up and had a great appetite. Sang Li was dedicated to tasks and had no sympathy for him. He just felt that he should do more if he ate more.
Ploughing the fields and picking fertilizer, cutting trees and threshing millet, planting rice and paving the road, let him do whatever he has to do.
The villagers found that the boy was not old, but he was really energetic to work. They were all polite. They could borrow some rice, flour, two fish, and prepared glutinous rice cakes from Sang Li and do work for several days.
The boy went out before dawn every day, and it was completely dark before he came back. The coarse cloth clothes were covered with salt crystals. I don’t know how much sweat shed.
At that time, the two had been together for more than a year. Under Sang Li's teaching, the intelligent boy had already learned to completely restrain his wildness and correct all kinds of inhuman behaviors.
He looks silent and cold, and never is lazy.
Honest and diligent, this is what the villagers say about him, and some people smiled and said that this is stupid, and they are obviously good at being cheap.
It was not until two months later that the boy's eyes were red and he slaughtered most of the village.
The reason is that many people in the village have thought about it.
Sang Li claimed to the public that the two were siblings. In their eyes, the sister had a round eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and had a beautiful appearance that was unforgettable. There was a male at home, so who didn't want to marry?
My younger brother is diligent and good at working. He can marry a beautiful girl and have many outstanding laborers. How great it is.
Besides, two small boys are helpless and have no support, so why don’t you just take care of them?
So, the village wants to force marriage.
Sang Li was locked in a cellar, dark and damp, mixed with rotten smell.
In fear, she shouted for help and kept jumping up to climb the sticky stone wall until her voice became hoarse and she had no strength, and then she collapsed on the ground.
In the darkness, she couldn't see anything. Something crawled past her feet from time to time, and it was cold. I don't know if it was a bug or a mouse, but she was shocked every time.
After all, he was a newly grown girl, and was locked in the dark alone, as if she had been abandoned by the world.
Her eyes were swollen and her body trembled unconsciously. If it weren't for the systematic comfort, she could have continued to cry.
The iron lock wrapped around the wooden boards on the cellar was opened. When the light came in, Sang Li immediately raised her head.
Qu Qingmian's pale and thin little face leaned down, and his dark pupils fell on her, and then he jumped down without hesitation.
Sang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this young man is a few years younger than her, being strong and calm can always give her a sense of peace of mind. As long as he finds it, it will be fine. They don’t want to stay in this village. Let’s leave quickly, no one can stop him.
The young man's slender and slender hands were very powerful, and he pulled her up steadily and carried her behind her back.
He didn't say a word, but he was cautious everywhere in his actions.
Sang Li disappeared from the joy of darkness, and she was inexplicably upset.
Lying on the boy's back, smelling a strong smell of blood, she guessed something. After leaving the cellar, she saw the villagers flowing in the pool of blood, Sang Li was angry and said a lot of ugly words, calling him a devil and a wild beast in human skin.
She is not a kind person. The villagers are good at calculating and want to imprison and marry, and they will die if they die.
The reason why I got angry with Qu Qingmian was that I was burned by his sincerity and his unique obedience to her.
But at that time, I was unaware of it, so every time I got angry, it was actually more like asking silently. I was not good to you, I always scolded you and scolded you, and I was even waiting for the opportunity to kill you, so don't, don't treat me well.
The more Qu Qingmian showed her dependence on her, the more angry Sang Li became. She didn't want to shake her determination to complete the task, after all, that was a reward of 300 million.
She has been aware of the differences caused by money since she was a child, and that became an obsession under some psychological shadows.
Ten years old is the watershed in Sangli's life.
Before she was ten years old, she had a complete family and was quite influential in the local area. She had nothing to do and wanted everything. Everyone around her praised her with a smile on her face.
After the age of ten, her parents divorced, and her living standards plummeted with her mother.
She tried hard to overcome the difficulties of going from extravagance to frugality, but the ridicule of the people around her made her extremely embarrassed. Especially those friends once seemed to talk about her sarcastically in front of everyone, which was a unique honor and would never get tired of it.
At that age, I was already sensitive and even more so after experiencing a huge change in my family. Whenever I didn’t know a classmate, I came up with a naive smile and asked her, “I heard that your family was very rich in the past and studied in private schools. Is that true? Why are you classmates with us now?
Later, after the high school entrance examination, my mother became pregnant and remarried and formed a new family. Her situation became even more awkward. She obviously got into a good high school, but on the day of enrollment, none of her parents came to see her off, but a relative from her family came.
Seeing that she was in a low mood, the relative smiled and advised her, "Look how happy you are now, you have two homes."
However, in fact, no home belongs to her.
She started working part-time on weekends and worked part-time during winter and summer vacations. When she met her former classmates, they would still smile and sting her with harmless tone, leaving her little self-esteem without a place to rest.
At that time, Sang Li had fantasized about her having to make a lot of money countless times. She would not call her carefully to ask when her father forgot to pay for living expenses, nor would she not look at her classmates with an inquiring gossip and whisper.
The girl of sixteen or seventeen had a very simple idea. She thought that after having a lot of money, she could wash away those embarrassing memories and completely separate them from the pain brought by her original family.
She was determined to complete the task, but the damage she had done, but the past was still there.
That is a scar in the heart, and money cannot help heal anything.
Instead, it was the trust and dependence of the boy, which made her feel that she was not alone.
As the sky was about to get dark, Sang Li walked back briskly.
Her clothes were stuffed with herbs and various wild fruits. She held a large teak leaf in her hands, rolled up with clear water, and a wooden board was clamped under her arms.
The three years she spent last time wearing books made her very familiar with wilderness life. She lost her parents' care too early, and also made her less coquettish.
She was confident that she would be able to take good care of Qu Qingmian this time. She had planned everything when she was busy just now. When she went to the town, she would make money and send him to school. Knowledge and new friends would definitely allow him to integrate into his new life faster.
She would also patiently teach him empathy and change his indifference to life under the dark field.
Although her whole body was in great pain, Sang Li was very happy with hope for the future.
When he opened the door, the boy was still lying there quietly, his brows frowned, as if he was very uncomfortable. His originally rosy lips had already been cracked at this time.
Sang Li quickly helped him up, put his head on his knees, and moistened his lips with some water with his sleeves.
Qu Qingmian was about to wake up, and under his closed eyes, his eyes turned, and his instinctive desire for water made him open his mouth unconsciously.
Successfully fed the water without leaving a drop. Sang Li touched his cheek, "Xiaomian, wake up, eat some fruit."
She picked a lot of sour vines, which can stop bleeding and prevent inflammation after eating, and also picked a lot of August melons and wild peaches.
She was not willing to eat it along the way. She had been hungry for a long time. She just imagined the sweet and sour taste of wild fruits, and saliva appeared in her mouth.
Qu Qingmian woke up, and his hands touching his cheeks were soft and warm. His eyes were cold and he opened with a quick and fierce slap.
Bang!
The sound was crisp and Sang Li subconsciously retracted his hand, red and numb.
She was not discouraged at all.
