Chapter 5: Narrow Escape from Death Science Fiction Supernatural
Li Xiaoshu subconsciously dodged to the side, avoiding the teapot. The dagger was also pulled out by him with a sudden force. I almost fainted from the pain, grabbing the edge of the table and flipping it upwards with all my might, Bai Huacheng stumbled backwards, releasing his grip on me.
I took advantage of the momentum to grab the mailbox and slammed it heavily on Li Xiaosu's foot. Unknowingly, whether the force was too great or the mailbox was too heavy, Li Xiaosu immediately fell to the ground. The left foot that was hit suddenly spurted out black blood.
Before I could even catch my breath, I suddenly felt someone's hands tightly grasping my neck from behind. My eyes were seeing stars, and my two hands were wildly flailing about behind me, grabbing a handful of hair and pulling forward with all my might.
"Ah......" Bai Huoqian cried out in a stifled voice, the bony hands that had been choking her neck withdrew.
I picked up the mailbag and rushed out desperately, pushing left and right. All I could hear was Bai Huaqian shouting hoarsely behind me: "He's crossed the border!"
I buried my head and ran desperately. I don't know how long I ran, but when I felt that there was no one else around except for the sound of my own breathing, I slowly stopped running.
Looking around, I found myself running to a desolate mountain ridge. The sky had already begun to darken, and the bleak wind brushed against my face. Although it wasn't cold, I felt a chilling heartache.
What's going on? On the first day of school, in Class 1 of Grade 2, the first classmate I met made me experience such a terrible afternoon. Is this just a dream or did it really happen?
I raise my left hand, and blood is still flowing. A slight movement brings intense pain. The letter in my bosom has my fresh blood on it, as well as black blood. No mistake, everything really happened.
I patted my pocket, and the phone was gone. I don't know if it fell out of my pocket earlier. I stumbled forward, hoping to find a road or one or two buildings.
Not long after, I saw a car passing by in the distance, and from time to time, I could hear the sound of one or two horns. The wound on my left hand was still bleeding, but my legs were no longer obedient, as heavy as lead, every step I took required all my strength. Severe pain, coldness, and fatigue alternately invaded my body.
Hold on a bit longer, just hold on a bit longer! The thought kept repeating in her mind. She gritted her teeth, as long as she could make it to the highway, there would be help.
Take one step forward, and then another! Not far away...
Open your eyes, and a white ceiling hangs above your head.
"You're awake!" The voice came from beside me. I turned my head with great effort, only to find that every joint in my body was aching. Even the simple act of turning my head required me to move stiffly, like a puppet, one section at a time.
The speaker was a young police officer, wearing light blue uniform with one stripe and one star on his shoulder badge, sitting in the chair beside my bed, holding a notebook and pen, as if waiting for me to wake up for questioning.
"Someone found you near the entrance of the G65 Baotou–Maoming Expressway on Huan Cheng East Road. Can you tell me what happened at that time?"
"Huan Cheng East Road?" I was shocked. Hou Da Yong had brought himself here, but it was clearly a villa in the west of the city!
"What's wrong? Where were you in your last memory?"
"A villa area in the west of the city." I enunciated each word carefully, trying to get my tongue moving.
"What's the name of this neighborhood?"
I tried hard to recall the name of the neighborhood, but I just couldn't remember it. I was sure that I had entered through the main gate of the neighborhood, but I didn't seem to have seen any sign with writing on it. All I could do was shake my head gently and tell him that I didn't know.
The police officer nodded slightly and his tone became even softer, "Then do you still remember what happened?"
