Pet King

Chapter 1587: Chapter 1587-compromising

Coughing was just an instinctive reaction of her body. In fact, melgen had not fully recovered her consciousness yet. Her eyes were open, but her vision was pitch black. There was a severe pain in her brain, as if there was a steel needle stirring inside.

Her lungs rejected the sea water, which was a foreign object, and her alveoli hungrily asked for oxygen from the trachea, so she coughed and panted, panting and coughing. The two completely opposite physiological reactions made her suffer.

After she coughed out all the seawater in her lungs and trachea, her brain began to recover oxygen supply, and the darkness in front of her gradually subsided, like a pair of glasses that had been wiped clean from the middle to the sides.

She saw Zhang Zian.

A strange thought suddenly appeared in her still-groggy brain. ‘So God is yellow-skinned?’

“Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere else?”

When she coughed out the water, Zhang Zian had already roughly examined her body. Other than being a little skinny due to malnutrition, there were no obvious scars on her body. However, there were visible bruises under her skin, including the corners of her eyes. It was suspected that she had been beaten.

She was wearing a pair of torn and tattered sackcloth clothes, the kind that could perfectly play the role of a medieval poor person without changing clothes on the set of a historical drama.

Melgen stared at him blankly for a few seconds. Only then did she have the strength to turn her head slightly to look around. The first thing she saw was Fati, who was squatting beside her.

Melgen often did outdoor activities. She was not a newbie, so she had a certain understanding of wild animals. She was shocked when she saw Fati’s appearance. ‘Isn’t this a Wolf?’

She trembled and crawled backward, trying to escape from Fati.

“Don’t be afraid. ” Zhang Zian quickly held her shoulder.”It won’t hurt you.”

“No, you don’t understand. This is a Wolf!” Melgen called out in a hoarse voice.

“No, you’ve misunderstood. This is actually ... A dog, well, an Alaskan Malamute. It just looks more like a Wolf. Many people were shocked like you before.” Zhang Zian explained.

Melgen was stunned. Of course, she hoped that this man was telling the truth, but the persecution she had suffered in the past few days had made her extremely wary of strangers. She did not dare to trust anyone.

Woof! Woof woof!

Zhang Zian was thinking about how to comfort her, but he heard the French pushing dog bark twice, and it was so lifelike.

Not only did Fati learn to bark like a dog, but in order to make her not afraid, he even lay on the ground to show that he was not a threat.

“It’s ... It’s really a dog?”

The dog’s barks dispelled most of melgen’s doubts, and she was no longer as afraid.

“Uh ... It’s indeed a dog.”

Zhang Zian admired Fati’s spirit of sacrifice. It had just argued with Sihwa that it was a Wolf and not a dog, but now it was willing to pretend to be a dog in order to make the frightened girl feel at ease ... If it were other Elfins, they would have died, but it was impossible for them to lose their dignity and pretend to be another animal.

Melgen heaved a sigh of relief.”Where is this? I’m not in heaven, right?”

“No, heaven’s real estate market is probably in short supply, and there aren’t that many wastelands ... What I mean is, of course, this isn’t heaven. It’s not far from where you were thrown into the sea.” He answered.

His words made her recall the process of being thrown into the sea just now. The murderer’s ferocious face was still vivid in her mind. Her heart was once again seized by extreme fear, and her face instantly lost what little blood was left.

“Don’t be afraid, those people have already left. ” Zhang Zian said,”it’s safe here.”

“No! You don’t know! There was no safe place! We must quickly escape! Otherwise, they would capture him again! To be captured and brought back to that hell! They won’t let you off!”

Melgen’s torture over the past few days had left a deep psychological shadow on her. She held Zhang Zian’s arm tightly, trembling like a frightened little beast.

Zhang Zian wanted to say that he understood how she felt, but it was easy for him to say that. If he had not experienced her pain himself, he would not be able to understand her feelings.

He could only repeatedly emphasize,”don’t worry. I will bring you out of the forest safely. You will return home and reunite with your mother. I promise.”

His comforting words had some effect, and melgen calmed down a little from her panic. However, she carefully thought over his words, and a feeling of being startled rose in her heart again. She wondered why he had to mention her mother.

“You ... You’re a Nomad?” She looked at Zhang Zian’s outfit up and down.

“I guess so ... You are melgen, right? I’m from China and I came to United States for a vacation. I met your mother at the edge of the mahogany forest and she asked me to come and find you. ”

Zhang Zian took out his cell phone. He considered that he might not be able to win melgen’s trust when he met her, so he asked her mother to record a video for her in the wooden house in the forest. He played it for her in person.

Melgen choked when she saw her mother’s familiar face and voice.

Mrs. Miller poured out her thoughts of melgen in the video, and melgen was heartbroken when she heard it. She covered her mouth and cried silently. Mrs. Miller believed that melgen must still be alive, and she made melgen believe in this Young China man. She also believed that he would bring her out of the forest safely.

Melgen’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 her heart out, crying out all her grievances.

After the video was played, Zhang Zian patted her shoulder without saying anything. He gave her enough time to calm down.

“You’re Jeff, right? I want to thank you. Thank you for taking the risk to come to the forest to find me. Thank you for saving me. You gave me a Second Life. Thank you!”

After a while, melgen finally stopped crying and wiped her red eyes to express her gratitude. Her pale words couldn’t express her gratitude.

The sea was cold, and when she got on the shore, the sea breeze blew, and she curled up and shivered.

“This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s find a place to settle down first. I also need to understand some things from you.”

When he patted her shoulder just now, Zhang Zian felt that her shoulder was as cold as ice. He knew that she had been in the sea for a long time. Coupled with her malnutrition and shock, she was in danger of having low body temperature.

He also wanted to gentlemanly take off his coat and put it on her, but his windbreaker had just been thrown into the water and was still wet. He could only find a blanket from his backpack to let her wrap her body.

Considering melgen’s current terrible condition, it was not suitable for her to leave the forest immediately after a long journey. Otherwise, she might die on the way. He did not have enough supplies for two people, and he had not completed his mission. He could not leave the forest for the time being.

Zhang Zian could only think of the abandoned Native American village where he could temporarily stay. He didn’t expect that he would have to stay there again so soon. Fortunately, he had kept the house intact.
