Jingjing followed the sound and looked up, thinking, it's not good, the old man must have woken up.

Sure enough, at this moment, there was a seemingly indistinct "woo hoo" sound from upstairs, Wu Jingjing's heart tightened when she heard it, she didn't dare to waste any more time, and hurriedly ran to the big iron gate.

There was an ordinary iron lock pin on the door, Jingjing secretly felt more at ease, she just wanted to quickly open the door and escape, grabbing the cold lock bolt and twisting it a few times.

The jerky "squeak" sound of the iron lock resounded in the silent night, which was extremely ear-piercing. At the same time, the room lights on the side of the second floor suddenly turned on.Pale light filtered through the thin yellow-striped Dacron curtains, casting a dazzling grid of light in the center of the yard.

The sudden light scared Wu Jingjing into a cold sweat, she could almost hear the sound of the old lady upstairs pulling her slippers and touching her keys.Wu Jingjing's breathing became rapid in an instant. She stabilized her trembling arm, held the iron bolt and pulled it out with difficulty. There was a loud "crash", and the door opened a crack.The old lady yelled upstairs: "Who?!"

When the lock was unlocked, Wu Jingjing didn't have time to be surprised, opened the door and ran out.

The wind outside is so cool, and the fresh air in the mountains makes running extremely comfortable and comfortable.

Wu Jingjing didn't know how long she had been running, since she opened that "door to hell" and took the first step outside, her mind was blank.The only thing that exists is only one thought, and that is - to run.

She ran desperately, getting carried away and just wanted to escape everything there.

She forgot about her wounds, her barely-covered and tattered clothes, and she didn't even know that she had already lost a shoe while running.

Until she left the smell of barking dogs and rotting manure covered with straw far behind her, until she exhausted all her strength and sat slumped on the side of the road leading to nowhere. Pulling the corner of his clothes, he grinned loudly and giggled loudly.

Wu Jingjing looked at the bright Polaris in the sky, and felt that her eyes were getting wet. She took a deep breath and looked at the empty and stretching road, stood up slowly, and walked eastward.

Her steps seemed firm, but in fact she didn't know where she was going.To the east is a familiar city, to the west is an unknown journey.Between familiarity and unfamiliarity, Wu Jingjing chose familiarity without hesitation.

Although there is no her home there, even though there are people who want to hurt her there, Wu Jingjing subconsciously thinks that only there is her happiness.It was a city with all her memories, and only by going back there could she wait for Xiaoli, the only friend who gave her love and friendship, even better than her relatives in her life.

The cold air of the concrete road mercilessly spread upwards along the soles of the feet, her footsteps became sad, and the tears that had been accumulated for a long time finally broke free from her eyes and drew a beautiful meteor-like light on her cheeks.

Light? !

Wu Jingjing suddenly raised her head, thinking she was dazzled, she quickly raised her hand to wipe her face, and two glaring beams of light hit her eyes head-on.Wu Jingjing covered her stinging eyes and stayed in the middle of the road, a rushing and shrill voice came from her ear.The brake disc clings tightly to the rapidly rotating tires, and sparks burst out on the ground that has been ground with long black marks.

"what--"

Wu Jingjing yelled in fright at the brakes roaring like a beast, and didn't think to continue breathing until the surroundings became quiet again.A gust of cold wind blew past, making people shiver involuntarily like the god of death brushing against them.

Wu Jingjing folded her arms and slowly turned her head to look at the car halfway parked beside the road. The headlights were covered with startled dust, like countless spirits wandering in the air.The rhythmic "click click" of the double flashes kept ringing, the black body trembled, the door opened and a man stepped out from inside.

The man was tall and staggered a little. He got out of the car and walked towards Wu Jingjing. Wu Jingjing swallowed her saliva and subconsciously stepped back.

"Are you okay?" The man spoke first, seeing that Wu Jingjing seemed a little timid, he stopped moving forward.

Wu Jingjing shook her head, only to feel that the man's aggressive eyes kept wandering around her body, but she didn't care about the shyness and just hesitated whether she should trust the stranger in front of her.

"You—alone?" The man continued to ask, and after he finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Wu Jingjing would be suspicious, and continued: "I mean, did something happen to you? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person, if you need help -"

"I'm going to Dongling. Are you going to Dongling?" Wu Jingjing finally couldn't bear it, and she had no choice.If you walk down the road like this, let alone whether you are going in the right direction, it is very easy to be overtaken by the old man's family.Besides, she was really tired.This day and night, she was frightened, hungry and cold. At this time, she ran out of the village barefoot in the middle of the night with scars all over her body, and finally temporarily escaped from the tiger's mouth.

Although he was almost hit and killed in the middle of the road by this sloppy driver just now, but fortunately, he was not in any danger, and it seemed that this person really wanted to help him.

"You—you didn't run away from home, did you?" The man hesitated, glanced at the tattered clothes on the girl's body, and shook his head again.

Wu Jingjing couldn't help lowering her head when she heard this, she was filled with grievances and didn't know how to answer, she suddenly saw that a large piece of her chest was torn, revealing a piece of white snow, and there was a vague trace of dried blood hanging on her plump chest.

Wu Jingjing blushed and hurriedly pulled up the torn corner of her clothes to cover them up, but when she looked up, she saw the man taking off his clothes.

"What are you doing!"
