Meng Yan's Transformation

"Little girl, please walk a few steps carefully. Let me see your leg. Is it seriously injured?"

The middle-aged woman still looked worried as she spoke.

"It's nothing, I was just scared..."

Zhan Mengyan patted her legs as she spoke.

"It's getting late, and you haven't found your aunt's house yet. Why don't you return to our house first, little girl? You can find it better tomorrow morning."

As the man spoke, he looked at his wife as if asking for her opinion.

"Yes, yes, let's go back to our house. I'll take a closer look at the wound on your leg. I have disinfectant at home..."

The middle-aged women also echoed.

"Wife, I remember there was an elderly widow in our backyard. She was a five-guarantee household in Jindong Village. According to our parents' generation, we should call her aunt. Could she be the aunt's family that this little girl is looking for?"

As the man spoke, he picked up a flashlight to light the way for the two men.

Zhan Mengyan walked in front, the night was as dark as ink, and the surroundings were so quiet that only her own heartbeat could be heard. Every step was like stepping on the edge of the unknown. The footsteps behind her overlapped with hers, making it difficult to distinguish whether they were fellow travelers or lurking dangers. She felt that there were eyes staring at her from behind, and a sense of uneasiness and fear made her heart beat faster, her palms sweat, and she even recalled the "railway police" and "kind aunt" she met at Siping Railway Station in her childhood. She and her sister drank their juice and were locked up by human traffickers without knowing it. After several life-and-death experiences, they escaped...

Zhan Mengyan didn't dare to think further, as if she was walking on the edge of a fearful abyss. She thought she had long forgotten the grievances and pains in her memory, but she found that in the middle of the night, the trapped beast in her heart was awakened. Thinking of her crushed childhood, those days of being suppressed and bullied, she couldn't calmly say "the past is a prologue". The past that she had escaped death was gnawing at her soul like a poisonous snake in the night...

Fear spreads and thoughts race.

This suffocating feeling once again trapped Zhan Mengyan in the cage of fear. She just moved forward mechanically. She wanted to escape from the middle-aged couple, but her feet would not obey her...

"There is such a lonely old lady, but I haven't seen her for many days. Besides, the house is a dangerous one and it seems that no one can live in it. Hey, head of the house, look quickly, there is a flashlight in front, it seems that someone is coming..."

The middle-aged woman pointed her finger into the distance while speaking.

"Zhan Mengyan..."

"Zhan Mengyan..."

"Zhan Mengyan..."

Zhan Zixun, Zhang Xincheng, and Yun Dawen shouted as they walked.

Fear reached its peak, and a familiar voice called from afar. The figures of the brothers emerged from the darkness, and the lights in their hands cut through the night. At that moment, all fear receded like a tide, replaced by an indescribable sense of peace...

"Uncle, aunt, listen, my brothers are here to see me!"

"Brother! I'm here..."

Zhan Mengyan excitedly waved and shouted towards the light in the distance.

Several people gathered together.

"Zhan Mengyan, why are you running around? You made us anxious to find you. Your aunt is so worried. Come back to your aunt's house."

While Zhan Zixun was speaking, he took Zhan Mengyan's hand and glanced up and down at the middle-aged couple around Zhan Mengyan.

From tense to relaxed, Zhan Mengyan almost collapsed to the ground. Her brother's reproachful voice was so pleasant to the ears at this moment - even more beautiful than "the graceful singing voice floating from the distant tall buildings".

"Brother, you have to thank the uncles and aunties around me. If it weren't for their help, I would have been bitten to death by a mad dog!"

While Zhan Mengyan was speaking, she broke free from Zhan Zixun's hand and looked at the middle-aged couple with gratitude.

"You're welcome! You're welcome. Take your sister home quickly. She must be frightened and injured. Look, there's blood on her neck!"

As the middle-aged woman was speaking, she was surprised to find a scratch on Zhan Mengyan's neck, which was bleeding.

"Zhan Mengyan, this is a lesson for you. Zhang Xincheng asked you to wait for us for a while, but why didn't you listen and left? You really deserve it. You didn't listen to your brother and now you are suffering. We originally came here to help grandma repair the house, but now you have messed it up. We can't help with the house, so we are here to look for you!"

As Zhan Zixun spoke, he felt extremely angry and glared at Zhan Mengyan.

"Zhan Mengyan, you should come with me to live with your third cousin. We have all come to look for you, but the house has not been repaired yet and is not habitable yet. You are living well in your third cousin's house, but you insist on living in this shabby house with your aunt. You are really asking for trouble!"

As Yundawen spoke, he blinked his eyes, thinking about taking Zhan Mengyan away.

"Now is not the time to blame anyone. Aren't you all the girl's brothers? Why are you complaining when you are not in a hurry to heal her injuries? Let's go to my house first. I will help you treat your wounds!"

While the middle-aged woman was talking, she ignored the few people and pulled Zhan Mengyan away.

Several people followed closely behind.

Yun Dawen thought about taking Zhan Mengyan home; Zhan Zixun was angry that Zhan Mengyan didn't wait for him and hurt himself again; Zhang Xincheng regretted that he didn't protect Zhan Mengyan, and felt distressed when he saw Zhan Mengyan limping...

When I arrived at the middle-aged couple's house, I found that my aunt's old house was right in their backyard.

"Little girl, your aunt's house cannot be lived in until it is repaired. Head of the family, please clean up our side room and let them live in it. This little girl has escaped the bite of a mad dog, but if she lives in a dangerous house again, it will cause more trouble than one!"
