Chapter 95 Escape
Li Mian suppressed the fear of darkness in his heart and rushed into the forest without looking back.
She wrapped the kidnapper's coat around her body and ran quickly down the mountain.
The forest area is particularly cool at night. In addition to the sound of the night wind blowing the leaves, there are also the sounds of various small insects from time to time.
My little body kept running through the bushes, and I fell down many times because I couldn’t see the road in the dark.
I don’t know how many times I fell, my clothes were scratched by branches, and I also had some scars on my body.
Because he could not tell the direction, Li Mian almost rolled down the col many times.
Until she was exhausted from running, she found a rock crevice in the dark that could accommodate her and carefully hid in it.
Although it is in the wilderness, there are no large wild animals in this mountain because it is not far from the city.
But some small ones, such as snakes, are not excluded.
Li Mian knew in her heart that there was no way to avoid this, and she could only pray that she would be lucky enough not to encounter it.
At that time, at the wooden house, the kidnapper went back after talking to Li Xun on the phone and found that Li Mian had run away.
He searched around the wooden house in panic, but found no trace of Li Mian.
"Little brat! Little brat!"
The kidnappers started shouting around the cabin, feeling not only angry but also slightly worried.
After all, the purpose of kidnapping Li Mian this time was not to fight against him. Although he wanted money, he didn't want anything to happen to such a young child in the mountains.
"Little brat, come out. I will take you home when you come out."
"I won't be angry. Just treat it like you are playing peek-a-boo with me. Come out, okay?" ?"
"There are snakes and jackals and tigers in the mountains. If you don't come out, you will be eaten."
"Little brat!"
No matter how hard the kidnappers tried to coerce him, there was no trace of Li Mian.
There was no other way, so the kidnapper had no choice but to return to the wooden house, pick up the machete that the ranger had placed here, put on a flashlight and prepare to look for it.
The forest area was eerily quiet at night, and Li Mian huddled in the crevices of the rocks where the wind could not blow, preparing to wait until it gets brighter before leaving.
But before she had rested long, she vaguely heard the kidnapper's voice.
Li Mian's whole body's nerves suddenly became tense. She held her breath, not even daring to breathe loudly.
As a result, she was surprised to find that the light of the flashlight actually came from the opposite hillside.
Li Mian felt a little broken when she realized that she had been running for so long just from the opposite mountain to the hiding place.
Worried that the light of the flashlight would shine on him, Li Mian did not dare to stay where he was. Instead, he bent down and continued running down the mountain through the bushes that were taller than himself.
Just like that, she went downhill and uphill for a while, not knowing which direction she was running. She only knew that she wanted to stay away from the kidnapper.
It wasn't until he no longer heard the kidnapper's voice behind him and saw no light from the flashlight that Li Mian squatted in a pit in a state of exhaustion.
The clothes on her body were almost wet with sweat, and now she was blown by the night wind, making her whole body shivering with cold.
In the pit, she huddled up together, exhausted, but did not dare to fall asleep.
This kind of forest area with a large temperature difference at night can easily become hypothermic.
She was afraid that she would not be able to wake up if she fell asleep.
In this way, with perseverance, Li Mian forced himself to stay awake until dawn.
She took out the leftover compressed biscuits from her pocket, broke off only a small piece to eat, took another sip of water, and after replenishing her strength, she continued walking in the direction of the rising sun. But the vegetation in the forest area was too high, and Li Mian couldn't tell the direction by relying on the sky. He could only move forward along the path that was dripped by something unknown.
On the other side, the kidnappers searched all night and finally found Li Mian's footprints in front of a mountain stream.
But in front of us is a mountain stream with a depth of more than ten meters, and it is completely covered by bushes and trees.
He glanced down, feeling uneasy in his heart, fearing that the child had fallen down here.
Thinking of this, the kidnapper suddenly panicked and quickly called Li Xun.
At that time, Li Xun was furious at home after discovering that Li Lei had sneaked out. When he was about to send someone out to look for him, he received photos and videos from a mysterious person.
The photographer pinched Li Lei's face to take the photo. He, who originally looked decent, had been beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
As for the video, Li Lei is asking for help at the camera, hoping to let Li Mian go in exchange for him.
Li Xun was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He immediately dialed the unknown number and prepared to warn the other party to let him go. However, he found that the phone number was just a virtual number and could not be dialed at all.
He stood in the living room, so angry that the loose skin on his face was trembling.
“Go to Li’s house!”
Li Xun subconsciously felt that Li Xiao had kidnapped Li Lei to warn him.
When he arrived outside Li's house, he happened to meet Li Xiao who was about to go out and continue to follow the search and rescue team.
"Li Xiao, let my grandson go!" Li Xun got out of the car and walked over quickly with a cane.
Seeing him, Li Xiao didn't give a good look, and said coldly: "Li Xun, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now."
"You obviously found someone to kidnap my grandson, so why are you using virtual reality? "Hao posted the photos and videos of the kidnapping. If you have anything to do, can we just sit down and talk about it?"
Li Xun's original plan was to come to Li Xiao to talk privately about the kindergarten, but before he could negotiate, Li Lei was kidnapped first.
"I'll say it again, I have no time to talk nonsense with you. If your grandson is kidnapped, then go to the police. Don't come to my place to increase your presence." Li Xiao looked at Li Xun with a gloomy face and continued: " Don’t think that I really care about your identity and background. If you annoy me, you’ll have to walk around in pain.”
After a few rude words, Li Xiao ignored Li Xun and drove. leave.
Li Xun stood there with a puzzled look on his face. After watching Li Xiao's car go away, he reacted belatedly.
Looking at Li Xiao's reaction, he didn't know that he had found someone to kidnap his daughter, so he couldn't be the one who kidnapped Li Lei.
Who is that?
Li Xun frowned fiercely. Just when he was wondering who it could be, he received a call from the kidnapper.
"Mr. Li, the child is missing."
When the call was connected, Li Xun heard this sentence.
"What do you mean missing?" Li Xun's face suddenly sank.
“She ran away. I searched all night and finally saw what looked like her footprints on the edge of the cliff. But in front of me is a mountain stream more than ten meters deep. Could she have fallen?”
The kidnapper's voice was trembling, with a hint of panic.
Originally, I just wanted to arrest the person for a few days and send him back. Now if something happens to the child, his life is at stake.
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her? Now you tell me that she might fall off the cliff?" Li Xun almost broke his teeth when he spoke.
Remembering Li Xiao’s words of warning just now, if something happens to the child, and when he is found out, the Li family will really be in trouble!
The kidnapper asked at a loss: "What should I do now? Should I try to go down there and have a look?"
