“Let’s not talk about it, if you don’t want to, Gongzi.” Jin Shiwei interrupted Meng Nan, he doesn’t want to see him in pain.
Meng Nan smiled and shook his head. “I am fine.” This was the first time he has said this painful past since he was seven years old.
This was a past event that he doesn’t even dare to think about.
He thought that he wouldn’t tell anyone about his past. But, he didn’t expect that it wasn’t as difficult as he thought.
“If I didn’t run in the past, if I didn’t escape, what do you think will be the result? Will my dage also survive?”
Bai Zhi held Meng Nan's trembling hand and looked at him with eyes full of distressed: "Meng Dage, this is not your fault. It was an accident. You don’t need to blame yourself. You don’t need to feel responsible— If I am your dage, I will also make the same choice, I will save you. I’m sure you will also do the same, you will save your didi, because this is a human instinct. Fear let you choose to escape because it is also human instinct. Moreover, you were only 7 years old at that time.”
Really? Fear made him choose to escape because it was a human instinct? Because he was young, it was alright to escape?
His parents also told him these words, so he used this reason to comfort himself.
But today, just now, he learned that Hu Feng didn’t even take a step to retreat. He fought with the white tiger. He bravely chose to fight. Even Bai Zhi, who was just a little girl didn’t retreat. She helped Hu Feng with her own little means.
Therefore, this was not a human instinct. This was simply a coward’s instinct. He was a coward, a natural born coward.
“Let’s go!” Seeing that Meng Nan’s mood was still very low, Bai Zhi was clueless about how to persuade him. Some things cannot be solved with just one sentence or two. He will not understand it in just one day.
Jin Shiwei also opened his mouth: “Where did Hu Feng disappear to? I will go to look for him.” Jin Shiwei runs in a hurry.
Bai Zhi looked at Meng Nan and asked: “Are you tired? I can help you carry it for a while.”
Meng Nan shook his head: “I’m not tired. I am a man, how can I let a little girl do this kind of work for me?”
Bai Zhi nodded her head and stopped talking. The atmosphere became gloomy. Bai Zhi was thinking of a way to ease the mood when suddenly, crackling sounds of branches and a roar of a beast sounded.
The two looked back and saw the fierce white tiger, who had just escaped earlier, rushing towards them.
Oh god — this guy is back.
Or maybe, it didn’t run far from them, it just waited for them to separate.
Just like what she had watched on the animal channel. Tigers like lurking around in the vicinity of its prey, waiting for the best time to attack.
Meng Nan seems to be scared, he just stood there and didn’t move. Bai Zhi pulled down the purple vine leaves to his shoulder and slapped his arm: “What are you doing? Run!”
Meng Nan reacted and busily followed Bai Zhi, who was running. Unfortunately, he hadn’t run a few steps, when his foot tripped to a branch. Meng Nan’s body fell forward. Bai Zhi discovered Meng Nan’s body lying on the ground like a piece of wood.
This fall, give an eye-catching opportunity to the white tiger. In the excitement to take revenge, the white tiger roar at the two of them.
Earlier, the white tiger was injured and exhausted, so at this time, when it rushed toward them, it doesn’t have much strength, it doesn’t have the fierceness it has from earlier. Bai Zhi tightly grasped Meng Nan and pulled the whole person on her side.
