Running Away 3

"Hehe…"

The woman clapped suddenly making Mo Roulan look at her.

She was smiling widely something which made Mo Roulan confused. It was only when she noticed the woman's gaze on her lips that she realized that the woman was laughing because she smiled.

Mo Roulan chuckled seeing this.

She looked at the woman for a moment longer.

The woman was very beautiful. Before she couldn't see in the darkness of the room...but if one ignored the wrinkles on her face and how thin her body was, she could be called beautiful.

Mo Roulan then supported her again and walked forward amongst the trees with the stick which was lit with fire in her other hand.

However, soon Mo Roulan realized that the animals in the forests were not the only problem she had to face.

It was more than that.

It was when she heard someone's voice.

"Hey, I can see fire. I guess those bitches are around. Catch them! Boss will give us a huge reward if we caught them."

The words settled panic in her heart and when she heard the sounds of footsteps, Mo Roulan immediately threw away the fire stick in her hand on the ground amidst the sand.

Then she started running away from there.

She was worried when she heard the whimpers of the woman by her side….suddenly remembering that she had injuries on her body and hence couldn't run.

Mo Roulan could feel that someone was following her and from the footsteps, it seemed that there was not one person but many.

She couldn't take the risk of being caught.

So she stopped and picked the woman in her arms.

Though the woman was heavy, Mo Roulan could manage it because she was very thin.

"Hold me tight"

She said and then after taking a deep breath she started running as fast as she could.

It was difficult but the fear of what could happen if she was caught didn't let her stop at all.

She only stopped when she couldn't hear the footsteps at all.

Leaning against the tree, Mo Roulan let the woman stand on her feet and then she herself sat down and breathed heavily.

Her body was covered with sweat and the cold wind of the night gave her some relief.

Mo Roulan wondered if they should walk ahead.

It was difficult to see at night in the dark without fire. Those men might have torches in their hands and would be able to find their way but she didn't even know which way she was supposed to go.

She was actually afraid that she was going more inside the forest instead of going out.

But she could only walk ahead without thinking anything.

Heaving a sigh, Mo Roulan said softly

"We will rest here today."

The woman looked at her and then sat down on the ground.

"No…don't lie down on the ground."

Mo Roulan held her arm when she saw that the woman was about to lie down on the ground. It was cold.

She didn't have any other choice than to sit on the ground but she couldn't let the woman lie down there.

"Come here"

Mo Roulan spread her legs and pointed at her lap.

The woman looked at her for a moment before she obediently laid her head on Mo Roulan's lap.

Mo Roulan leaned against the tree as she looked at her.

"What is your name?"

She asked in a whisper but the woman didn't reply.

She had not spoken a single word since Mo Roulan had first seen her so Mo Roulan was not surprised.

She sighed as she leaned against the tree.

The woman slept but Mo Roulan didn't.

She needed to stay awake to ensure that they would not be caught.

Though Mo Roulan tried her best, she still couldn't fight the exhaustion that came over her body and hence around midnight, after a long fight with herself, she still fell asleep.

However, she woke up immediately when she heard the rustling of leaves.

Her whole body was on alert as she looked around.

Mo Roulan's eyes stopped at the bushes where she could a pair of eyes. She recognized it very well because she was not seeing it for the first time.

It was a wolf.

Even though she had fought with a wolf two years ago as well, her body still went cold.

Mo Roulan pretended to be completely still as her hand searched for something around herself.

Her hand was just able to find a wooden stick when the wolf suddenly pounced towards her. Immediately, she threw the woman aside from her lap. She did hear the woman's scream but at this moment, she could pay attention only to the wolf.

The wolf was on top of her body and had already opened his mouth to eat her flesh but Mo Roulan held it away.

He growled loudly and she controlled her trembling.

The wooden stick had fallen down from her hands long ago.

She was trying to fight it with her hands only.

She could feel its nail making scratches on her arm and her body. It hurt but she could only suppress her whimpers.

In the end, the wolf was stronger than her.

Mo Roulan could feel it overcoming her hands' strength. Its sharp teeth were reaching her flesh gradually. Just when she thought that she was about to die, the wolf growled loudly and Mo Roulan felt him going completely still the next second.

Mo Roulan herself was still.

She lay on the ground with a blank mind.0

It was only when heard a whimper that she came out of her trance and threw the wolf away immediately.

When she got up from the ground, she finally saw the stick which had stabbed the wolf deeper in its back. It could be seen in his stomach from his front as well.

Mo Roulan's eyes then went to the woman who had saved her life.
