A pool of blood gathered beneath her.
The loss of blood, the hunger, the agitation… had pushed her to the limits.
However…
The girl forced herself to get up and fell down several times while trembling.
She did not want to die… she wanted to live.
Tears, sweat, and blood stained her face.
She did not want to die, she wanted to live. She had worked so hard to last until now, it was not to wait for death.
“Squeal!”
At this moment, she heard a muffled groan from not far away. Her body trembled as she got up and fell down again.
Strong winds blew, and the huge black cloth flew.
Even though her vision was blurry, she did not fail to see the black pig whose fur was thick like bamboo chopsticks.
“Squeal!”
The raised black cloth slowly fell, and the heavy sound of pig trotters on the floor made one shiver from head to toe.
Her muddled head instantly sobered up, and her arm erupted with astonishing strength, supporting her to get up from the ground.
She did not dare to look back and only ran forward desperately.
Blood flowed down her feet and onto the ground. To the black pig, this was like a trail to guide it.
It snorted happily as it charged through the black cloth.
The bamboo chopstick-like hair on its body made clinking sounds.
Its voice was cold and sinister, filled with the murderous aura of a ferocious beast.
“Help.”
The girl opened her mouth and shouted. Her voice was dry and weak, even she probably could not hear herself clearly.
Although she was timid, she had experienced such a situation before.
Instead of running in a straight line, she brought the guardian beast around the bend.
She deliberately raised the black cloth in an attempt to block its vision.
However, she was severely injured and her body had reached its limit.
Even the potential stimulated by the will to live was about to be exhausted.
Finally, she slowed down.
The hand holding the black cloth trembled non-stop, and her face was as pale as a ghost.
The black boar closed in, as it seemed like the end.
“Quick, quick…”
She tried to force herself, but her right hand was trembling and she could not lift the black cloth.
She reached out her left hand anxiously to help, but that hand was shaking even more.
Hurry up, hurry up!
“Squeal!”
As the heavy hooves approached, the girl broke out in a sweat.
In the end, she did not care and rushed into the black cloth. In her mind, she recalled the boy’s comforting words.
She could feel her eyes tearing up as she quickly shut them tightly.
‘If I can’t see, I won’t be afraid… If I can’t see, I won’t be afraid.’
Suddenly, her right leg went soft and she was caught off guard as she tripped on the black cloth and knelt down.
Before she could react, she felt a pain in her lower back.
Her feet left the ground. The next moment, she fell heavily onto the ground.
Pain—
The girl lay on the ground in a daze. She felt as if her soul had been knocked out by the black pig.
The black cloth was spinning. The sky was spinning.
She could not gather her consciousness. For a moment, she thought she was dead.
The black pig’s cry rang in her ears, but she could no longer get up.
The girl looked blankly at the sky, filled with despair.
‘I was already trying very hard to live.’
‘I did my best.’
‘Mom and Dad… I tried my best…’
‘And him…’
I’m sorry… sorry…’
The girl slowly closed her eyes, and a tear rolled down her cheek.
“There’s another big black pig, Nancy. Be careful.”
Nancy nimbly moved her body to the other side of the black cloth.
Felicia’s panting could be heard from behind as she said: “This, this wild boar came with the short-haired girl… We’re in trouble now.”
Nancy asked, “How is the girl?”
“She’s covered in injuries. Even if she is still alive, she probably won’t be able to live much longer. Run quickly, run for our lives first.”
Nancy said, “Alright, I’ll lure the other black pig away. Be careful.”
