Chapter 1587: Compromise

Coughing is just a physical instinct. In fact, Megan has not fully recovered consciousness. Her eyes are clearly open, but her eyes are dark. There is severe pain in her brain, as if a steel needle is stirring inside.

Her lungs rejected the seawater as a foreign body, and the alveoli were hungry for oxygen from the trachea, so she coughed and panted, panting and coughing, and the two diametrically opposite physiological reactions made her extremely painful.

After coughing out all the seawater in her lungs and trachea, the oxygen supply to her brain began to resume, and the darkness in front of her eyes gradually faded away, just like glasses smeared with ink were wiped clean from the center to the surroundings.

She saw Zhang Zian.

A weird thought popped up in my still-awake brain——God is yellow-skinned?

"Are you okay? Where else is it hurt?"

When she was coughing up water, Zhang Zian had already roughly inspected her body. Apart from being skinny due to malnutrition, there were no obvious scars on her body. been beaten.

She was wearing tattered coarse cloth clothes, the kind that could perfectly play the medieval poor without changing clothes on the set of ancient TV dramas, and she wore a pair of broken sneakers on her feet.

Megan stared at him blankly for a few seconds, only then did she have the strength to turn her head to look around, and saw Fatui squatting next to her at first sight.

Megan often does outdoor sports. She is not a rookie and has a certain understanding of wild animals. She was startled when she saw Fate's appearance. Isn't this a wolf?

Trembling, she rolled and scrambled back, trying to escape from Fate.

"Don't be afraid." Zhang Zian quickly pressed her shoulder, "It won't hurt you."

"No, you don't understand, it's a wolf!" Megan cried hoarsely.

"No, you misunderstood. This is actually... a dog, um, an Alaska, but it looks more like a wolf. Many people were shocked like you before." Zhang Zian explained.

Megan was stunned. Of course she hoped that what this man said was true, but the persecution she had suffered in the past few days made her deeply wary of all strangers, and she couldn't trust anyone.

Wang! woof!

Zhang Zian was thinking about how to comfort her, but he heard Fati barking like a dog twice, which was very vivid.

Farui not only learned how to bark a dog,

In order to stop her from being afraid, she lay down on the ground to express that she was not a threat.

"Really...really a dog?"

The barking of the dog relieved most of Megan's doubts and made her less afraid.

"Uh...it is indeed a dog."

Zhang Zian admired Fatui's spirit of sacrifice. Just now, it was serious with Shihua that it was a wolf and not a dog, but now it is willing to pretend to be a dog in order to make this frightened girl feel at ease... If it was another elf, The head can be severed and the blood can flow, and it is impossible to impersonate another animal without dignity.

Megan breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is this? I'm not in heaven, am I?"

"No, the real estate market in Paradise is probably tight, there's not so much wasteland...I mean, it's certainly not Paradise, it's not far from where you are thrown into the sea," he replied.

His words made her recall the process of being thrown into the sea just now, the murderer's ferocious face was vividly remembered, her heart was seized by extreme fear again, and her face lost the little blood left in an instant.

"Don't be afraid, those people have already left." Zhang Zian said, "It's safe here."

"No! You don't know! There is no safe place! We must escape quickly! Otherwise, we will be captured by them again! We will be captured and returned to that hell! They will not let you go!"

The torture Megan suffered in the past few days had already left a heavy psychological shadow on her. She tightly grasped Zhang Zian's arm, trembling like a frightened little animal.

Zhang Zian wants to say that I understand your feelings, but this is purely because you don't feel pain in your back when you stand up and talk. If you haven't experienced her pain yourself, you can't understand her feelings.

He could only emphasize repeatedly: "Don't worry, I will take you out of the forest safely, and you will return home to reunite with your mother, I promise."

His reassurance had some effect, and Megan calmed down a little from the panic, but she chewed his words carefully, and a frightened suspicion arose in her heart—why did he mention her mother?

"You...you are a hiker?" She looked up and down Zhang Zian's attire.

"I guess... Your name is Megan, right? I'm Chinese. I came to America for a visit. I met your mother by the redwood forest. She asked me to come and find you."

Zhang Zian took out his mobile phone. Considering that he might not be able to win Megan's trust when he met Megan, he asked her mother to record a video for her in the wooden house in the forest, and played it to her face to face.

Seeing her mother's familiar face and voice, Megan choked up.

Mrs. Miller poured out her thoughts on Megan in the video, and Megan was heartbroken, covering her mouth and crying. Mrs. Miller believed that Megan must still be alive, and made Megan believe in this young Chinese man and that he would take her out of the forest safely.

Megan's wariness towards Zhang Zian had completely disappeared, she wished she could leave the forest in one step, throw herself into her mother's arms and cry bitterly, crying out all her grievances.

After the video was played, Zhang Zian patted her on the shoulder without saying anything, giving her enough time to calm down by herself.

"Is your name Jeff? I want to thank you, thank you for taking the risk to find me in the forest, thank you for saving me, you gave me a second life, thank you!"

After a while, Megan, who had finally stopped crying, wiped her red eyes and thanked her. Pale words could not convey the gratitude in her heart.

The sea water was icy cold, and when she landed on the shore, she was blown by the sea breeze, shivering her body, shivering from the cold.

"This is not a place to talk, let's find a place to settle down first, and I also want to know something from you by the way."

When he patted her shoulder just now, Zhang Zian felt that her shoulder was as cold as ice. He knew that she had been submerged in sea water for a long time, coupled with malnutrition and shock, there was a danger of hypothermia.

He also wanted to take off his coat in a gentlemanly manner and put it on for her, but his jacket was also thrown into the water just now, and it was still wet, so he could only find a blanket from his backpack to wrap her around his body.

Considering Megan's dire situation at this time, it is not suitable to leave the forest for a long distance immediately, otherwise she may die on the road. His supplies are not enough for two people, and his task has not been completed yet, so he cannot leave the forest for the time being.

Zhang Zian could only think of the deserted Indian village as a nearby place where he could stay temporarily. He didn't expect to rent there again so soon. Fortunately, he kept the integrity of that house.
