Chapter 19 Will Master Wu protect me?

The hand that was restraining her neck was completely released, and the feeling of dying subsided. Song Lingyi immediately covered her neck and gasped for breath.

The next moment, the body was forced into a solid wall of flesh.

She looked up into the man's playful, narrow eyes. She wanted to ask him what he was going to do, but the words stopped at her lips. The burning heat in those dark eyes was like a blazing fire, ready to devour her bit by bit, making her feel uncomfortable, panicked, and afraid.

"Five, Master Wu?"

She was not some naive young girl, she knew how beautiful this body was, and she could also see the man's suppressed desire.

But why?

Didn't the bandit leader look down on her before? How could he be interested in her...

Xiao Mingyi lowered his head to the girl's ear, his long arms tightly gripping her slender waist like shackles, his eyes growing darker. "I suddenly find that I can't bear to see you die."

“…”

What do you mean by "can't bear to see her die"? He almost killed her!

The lingering feeling of suffocation on her neck made Song Lingyi tremble with fear.

His long fingers lifted a strand of hair from the side of her ear and he said, "I can take you to Kyoto."

“…”Thanks for the invitation, she suddenly didn’t want to go anymore.

Under Song Lingyi's trembling eyes, he said slowly: "However, a slave is not worth my trouble, not to mention that you have a life on your shoulders."

Song Lingyi's expression flickered as she understood the meaning of the bandit leader's words.

He was using Xu Er's death to force her to submit.

After a moment of frozen silence, Song Lingyi suppressed the tension and horror in her heart, slowly stood on tiptoe, and lightly pecked the man's thin lips.

In an instant, Xiao Mingyi's body stiffened slightly.

"If...if I am willing to undress and warm the bed for Fifth Master, and serve him on his pillow, will Fifth Master protect me?"

The girl's ears were red and her voice was soft and crisp, echoing in the quiet room.

She looked at him with her watery eyes, so nervous that her palms were sweating.

Those deep eyes lingered on her face several times, and Xiao Mingyi smiled, thinking that he would probably remember this day for the rest of his life. The girl looked at him with her clearest black eyes, but her mouth spoke clumsy and immature words of seduction.

"With pleasure."

After saying that, Xiao Mingyi held the slender waist tightly in his hands, picked her up horizontally, and walked straight to the bed.

Song Lingyi was shocked.

This bandit leader was so lustful and horny that he actually committed adultery in broad daylight.

Her five fingers nervously grasped his collar, "Master Wu, you're still injured."

The man didn't stop walking and laid her horizontally on the couch. "The wound is almost scabbed over. It won't cause any trouble."

As the man pressed down, the woody smell became stronger and stronger, penetrating the girl's nostrils.

Song Lingyi lay on her back on the bed, with the man's strong long arm supporting her ear.

Perhaps it was because the gaze from above her head was too intense, her hands and feet became helpless, and her eyes didn't know where to focus.

Xiao Mingyi patted her waist and said lazily, "Besides, you are supposed to serve me, so just do your best."

The girl's eyes widened as she stared at him in disbelief.

Their eyes met and the atmosphere gradually became charming.

Knock knock knock——

There was a knock on the door at an inopportune moment.

"Boss, I have something to discuss with you." It was Wang Chong's voice.

Noticing that the girl under him trembled, Xiao Mingyi lifted the quilt to cover her, then got out of bed and opened the door.

After the door opened, Wang Chong peeked in out of curiosity, thinking: Why would they close the door in broad daylight?

"Is there something?" Xiao Mingyi closed the door, blocking his sight.

Wang Chong said seriously, "It's true. Leaving Xu Er's body in the kitchen yard isn't a good idea. We're almost entering the capital, and I'd like to pay for a proper burial."

Xiao Mingyi said, "I'll pay for the coffin and bury him in the back mountain."

"I'll do it right away."

indoor.

Song Lingyi was a little frightened at first when the quilt filled with the scent of the bandit leader covered her body. But when she calmed down and thought about what she had just said and what was about to happen, her cheeks felt hot as fire and she pulled the quilt over her face.

On the one hand, I felt embarrassed and wondered how things had turned out like this, but on the other hand, I felt that I had done nothing wrong.

The bandit leader was handsome and had a good figure. In her previous life, he would have been a top male model that she, a social animal, could not afford or dare to choose.

What's more, the situation is urgent now. We can only survive for a few days. Once we enter the capital and find our grandparents' home, we will naturally be able to get rid of him.

As she was daydreaming, her consciousness became increasingly heavy, and before she knew it, she fell into a deep sleep.

During this period, Song Lingyi was in constant fear, even dreaming of Xu Er chasing her through the dense forest in the west. The dream was always gloomy, and she could not escape the forest no matter what she did.

For some reason, she slept exceptionally soundly that time.

There was no messy escape and chase in the dream, but I returned to the old house of my previous life.

The pear blossoms are in bloom.

She stood in the pear blossom forest, wearing the white dress her grandmother had cut for her, and her grandfather's rhubarb was still running around at her feet...

When Xiao Mingyi returned to the room again, he saw the girl sleeping soundly. Her sleeping face was peaceful and well-behaved, just like a sleeping crabapple in spring.

A beam of bright sunlight shone in through the window, reflecting on her rosy cheeks, making her look delicate and lovely.

Xiao Mingyi narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, and maliciously flicked her nose with his pigtail.

But the girl was sleeping soundly. She muttered, smacked her lips, and turned over with the quilt in her arms.

“…”

Looking at the girl sleeping, Xiao Mingyi silently retracted his assessment of her as "quiet and well-behaved".

At noon, the girl woke up from her sleep. She opened her eyes drowsily and looked at the unfamiliar curtains. It took her a while to realize that she was in the bandit leader's room.

She sat up suddenly, lifted the quilt and looked inside.

“Huh~”

Not bad, not bad.

Song Lingyi patted her chest lightly, frowned and said to herself: "Is it a pig? How can it fall asleep like this?"

The sunlight is just right at noon.

She dragged her feet to the table and poured herself a glass of cold boiled water.

The square was still bustling. I opened the small window and looked down. I saw several bandits carrying a coffin towards the back mountain.

Song Lingyi's eyelids drooped slightly.

Xu Er's body had been lying in the kitchen yard for days. If it wasn't buried, it would start to stink. The bandits were leaving their camp and heading for Kyoto tomorrow. As long as the body was buried, no one would question his death.

For her, it's a good thing.

Xiao Mingyi was busy burying Xu Er the whole afternoon and had no time to care about Song Lingyi.

The girl hid in the small room, and as the sun gradually set, she became more and more uneasy.

When the last ray of red glow disappeared from the rooftops, torches had been lit in various parts of the village, and the flames were brilliant.

In order to commemorate Xu Er, the bandits prepared an extra sumptuous dinner and also brought several large jars of sake to liven up the atmosphere.

The gathering before departure was always very lively, and the bandits caught Xiao Mingyi and forced him to drink.

The sake continued to flow down his throat, and even though he had a good alcohol tolerance, he was a little overwhelmed. Seeing that the boss was drunk, Xuanfeng hurriedly helped him back to the main building.
