Chapter 25 Iron Egg (2/2)
Zhang Yunyan could not answer, and her heart was strongly hurt by the tender question again. Her tears kept flowing and she could not stop.
She secretly lamented and thought to herself. If she said no, it would hurt the child and make him desperate and cry. However, this was the reality and the ending that they couldn't escape from.
But if she said yes, the child would have hope and would be much calmer. However, such an answer was an unrealistic lie and also a deception to the child.
However, at this moment, Zhang Yunyan had no other choice. She could only use white lies to comfort the child and give him a temporary comfort.
The child had suffered terribly, and his young body and mind had been greatly hurt and could no longer bear such strong sorrow.
On hearing 'yes', Iron Egg felt much better.
However, he still suspected it and asked, ”Auntie, but you are tied up now, can you run?”
Zhang Yunyan smiled bitterly and lamented as her tears flowed. And she thought, ”Alas, it is difficult to lie to a child.”
She felt that she was hypocritical but she also felt very uncomfortable telling a lie. What should she do in the face of a child who was eager to survive?
Yunyan shook her head gently, and said, ”When you untie my rope, then we can run.”
Although what she said was unintentional, Iron Egg really started to untie the rope. The young child did not have much strength, so he didn't untie it even though he spent a long time trying to do so.
Zhang Yunyan did not depend on the child to untie the rope. She had been thinking hard about strategies to escape, hoping that they could find a chance of survival even though it was nearly impossible.
This hope was just like a pie in the sky, it could be said that it was impossible. If there was still a little possibility of living, they could only escape here before dark. But the reality was too cruel, she had no way to make a difference, so her wish was just an idiotic dream.
They didn't have much time to escape. To realize her wish was as difficult as making a dream come true.
Zhang Yunyan lost the Magical Dragon Sword, and both her hands were tied up. So it became much more difficult for them to escape.
If her sword still belonged to her, maybe there was a little hope, and Iron Egg could help also.
However, such 'if's were vain and meaningless, and the 'hope' of escape could only be a fantasy.
Zhang Yunyan was heartbroken over the loss of the treasured sword. She also felt very anxious to think about the impossible escape strategy, and felt uneasy for the child's life.
There was nothing she could do, so she just cried silently and sighed from time to time.
Not to mention that she would be bullied by the monster and then be sent to the alchemy furnace, Iron Egg was even more pitiful and more miserable. But what could she do?
She was reminded of the scene when the Magical Dragon Sword fought alone against the Black Killer. Zhang Yunyan was very emotional and excited, and was even more pained over the loss of this sword.
In order to save its owner, the Magical Dragon Sword even could fight against the monster on its own. She was deeply surprised. She felt how magical and precious the Magical Dragon Sword was.
But she lost such a precious Magical Dragon Sword, and it still became a tool for the Black Killer. Zhang Yunyan was very sad and frustrated.
She had no ability to recapture her sword, nor had the ability to save her life. So she could only suffer and be depressed.
Upon thinking that the monster held the Magical Dragon Sword to kill people, it was difficult to accept that fact, but she had to accept it.
This was the reality that could not be changed. The sword had already in the possession of the Black Killer. And she also would lose her soul and even her life. Terrible tragedies would take place one after another and could not be reversed.
Sad, really sad! Painful, extremely painful! Zhang Yunyan felt sorry for her poor ending, and felt anxious and desperate for the child's tragic death, and lamented the loss of her magical sword.
