Chapter 779 I Will Come Back to Save You
It was not until late at night that silence slowly returned to the small village.
The cries, the screams, are only heard less clearly at this time.
Leon was still in the small ramshackle room where his leg had been broken. Seeing that everyone was asleep, Freya quietly got up from the crowded tatami mats and quietly walked outside in the dark.
Perhaps because he thought that Leon was in such a state that he could not even crawl out of that shabby room, when Eli and Ben left, they did not lock the door to the room.
This was just convenient for Jayla to go in and see Leon.
Leon wasn't asleep, he couldn't sleep with the pain in his leg so bad!
In the darkness of the night, Jayla could not see the injury on his leg, but seeing his face shaking in pain, she could not control the tears that flooded her eyes again.
The traffickers here are really black-hearted, they beat Leon like this and didn't even get a doctor to look at him. They were just worried that he would bleed to death and lose such a good cash cow, so they rubbed some medicine to stop the bleeding and anti-inflammatory medicine on his wounds haphazardly.
The smell of blood was strong in the cramped room, and it was obvious that it was all from Leon.
When Jayla saw that no one was around, she half squatted in front of Leon and said softly, "Leon, you're in pain, aren't you? I'm sorry, it's all my fault, if it wasn't for saving me, you wouldn't have been beaten up like this!"
"Jayla, shut up!" Leon coldly cut her words off as he lowered his voice and said, "It's none of your business!"
At the sound of his voice, Jayla wanted to cry even more, not because he was fierce, but because of his phrase, "It's none of your business.
He is actually the kindest of all. Living in the darkness, he is used to dressing himself in a protective colour of indifference, but his heart is still warm and soft at its deepest.
By saying this, he didn't want her to continue to feel guilty. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Leon, let me take you out of here. When we get out, we'll find a way to contact my daddy, mummy and brother, just tell them the location and they'll find us soon!"
Jayla thought well, they did not know exactly where this place was, but when they got out of this village, they were able to find someone to ask, and when they got to a safe place and called home, they could all be saved.
And, while she was on her way to the toilet, she had carefully observed the situation in this small farmhouse where they were.
In the corner of the small courtyard, there is a very small dog hole that the adults certainly can't get out of, but she and Leon can.
There are many traffickers here, at least two dozen of them. At this time of the day, it is when they sleep. Afraid that they might wake up, Jayla did not dare to delay in the slightest, she carefully picked up Leon, "Leon, I'll take you to get out of the dog hole!"
Jayla was usually carried by others, it was the first time she had carried someone else, and she was a bit overwhelmed by carrying a boy who was a bit heavier than her.
But thinking that if they escaped from here they would have any hope of surviving, she gritted her teeth and took one step outside.
There was a tall trafficker guarding the door. He was sure that these timid children would not dare to run around at night and were sleeping soundly, so Jayla tiptoed outside without waking him up.
She moved in the direction of the dog hole with Leon in her arms and she was about to tuck him out of the hole first when she felt someone staring at her.
She subconsciously turned and in the darkness of the night, she met a pair of dark eyes.
Annie.
Annie had just dragged her broken leg out of the toilet, her face, with a hollowness and deadness that did not belong to her age.
"You can’t escape ......."
Her voice was soft, like a feather gliding over the heart, but it was so light, yet it seemed to put chains on people.
She actually wanted to tell Jayla not to waste her efforts, she had also tried to escape when she was first abducted here, but, soon after she got out through this dog hole and before she could run out of the small patch of woods, she was caught and beaten up.
That beating left scars on her body that could not be washed away for the rest of her life, and she has not dared to run away since then.
Then later, her legs were broken and she couldn't have escaped even if she wanted to.
She knew that in this place people's hearts are cold, but she still did not want Jayla and Leon to suffer beating after their futile struggle.
"I have to try." Jayla's voice was particularly extraordinarily soft, but with a reassuring certainty, "Annie, I will come back to save you."
After saying this, Jayla quickly pushed Leon out of the dog hole, and she nimbly crawled outside.
Annie, I will come back for you.
Hearing Jayla's words, Annie's eyes couldn't help but be wet.
She felt that she was an outcast of fate and never thought that anyone would even think of her.
In this village, man eats man, the weak against the weak, killing each other.
That group of traffickers also had a rule to prevent these children from escaping.
If a companion is found to have escaped and reported, he or she will not be beaten for a year, regardless of the mistake made.
Annie was afraid of being beaten, and she knew that if she shook the man at the gate awake and told him about Jayla's escape with Leon, she would have a good time for the next year, but thinking of Jayla's firm and clean eyes, she finally dragged her broken leg and slowly crawled back to her room.
After crawling out of the dog hole, Jayla did not let her guard down. She gritted her teeth and picked Leon up on her back, stepped on her short legs and headed ahead.
"Jayla, you put me down!" Leon spoke coldly, "You leave by yourself!"
Leon did not want to stay in this dark place for the rest of his life, he wanted to go home, he wanted to see his sick mother again.
But he knew in his heart that Jayla could not return home with him on her back, and he would only become a burden to her.
"Leon, I'm not leaving by myself."
The seemingly soft little girl was surprisingly stubborn, she was a bit overwhelmed by the force on her body and her little legs were trembling, but she continued to run forward with a gasp, "Leon, we have to go together."
It was Jayla's first time in this place and she did not know where to go on the road.
Ahead, a dense wood, she looked around, intending to take a risk,
Perhaps, through this grove, they can leave the village!
The grove was dark late at night, with the cries of many unknown creatures inside, and it was unspeakably creepy to walk in.
Luckily, there was still a person on her back, so Jayla's heart was not always so panicked.
On her forehead, a fine bead of sweat seeped out, and Jayla finally reached the end of the small forest. Without bothering to wipe the beads of sweat off her forehead, she intended to continue along the rugged path in front of her.
Only, before she had taken more than a few steps, she heard a cranky curse ring out behind her.
