Chapter 106 I saw her face and forgot everything and even...
"Huff—Huff—"
In the desolate night, muffled gasps were heard as the boy and girl ran.
Behind him were the kidnappers who finally noticed that Bai Yan had disappeared and were chasing after him.
The rustling of footsteps and shouts of anger were heard along with the sound of the wind.
Fu Liangxia's legs felt sore and weak, and a raw smell of blood spread from his chest.
She was exhausted.
The speed and physical strength of adults and children are completely different. Moreover, the terrain here is complex. It is extremely difficult for them to escape if they are not familiar with the route.
She was pulled by Bai Yan and stumbled through the woods. Looking at the endless darkness in front of her and the lack of any sign of recovery, her heart felt cold.
No wonder the kidnappers were so bold and so sure that Bai Yan couldn't escape.
Too big.
The dark branches were baring their fangs and claws in the night, as if they could swallow them up at any time.
"Catch them!"
"Where did this little bastard come from? She actually rescued him!"
"Brother, it's okay..." Fu Liangxia continued walking, hearing the man behind him laugh sinisterly. "They won't be able to run away for much longer."
…
Fu Liangxia tried hard to suppress the slight trembling of his legs due to exhaustion, staring at the ink-black, rapidly rushing river in front of him, his face as gloomy as water.
"Master Bai, you're such a worry that you're preventing our brothers from getting a good night's sleep."
Although Bai Yan was small, he looked at them with a cold and fierce look: "Why worry about this moment? You will sleep peacefully after death."
Hearing this, the strong men were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter with great interest.
"Young Master Bai is quite stubborn. Interesting. I wonder if you're as stubborn as that!" The leading man's face darkened. He waved his hand forward, "Capture them."
Several people quickly formed a circle and surrounded them. Seeing that they had nowhere to hide, one of them quickly pounced on Bai Yan and grabbed his arm, but he used his clever strength to swing him forward and knocked him to the ground.
After all, Bai Yan had learned self-defense skills, so if he was prepared, he could still fight them.
As if they realized that Bai Yan was not easy to deal with, they exchanged glances and then reached out to grab Fu Liangxia.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly weak girl had a calm expression and took out a straightened hairpin from her pocket very calmly. She seized the opportunity and forcefully inserted it into the man's eyeball.
The mixture of blood and the man's roar exploded in the air.
Everyone was stunned by the girl's sudden move.
The next second——
"Little bitch!"
The man's companion reacted furiously and slapped her hard, knocking her to the ground.
The girl's expression was still cold, her eyes gloomy, like a small beast staring at its prey in the dark, ready to kill with one strike at any time.
The look in her eyes froze the man who was about to step on her heart.
Fu Liangxia took this opportunity to get up from the ground. Not far away, Bai Yan was dodging the iron rod that was hitting him from the side. He hit the other person's hand hard and knocked the iron rod away.
However, two fists are no match for four hands, and the age gap between the two sides is also huge, so he was inevitably injured during the fight.
This is not a solution.
She frowned and looked at the unknown and dangerous river again.
Since the system allowed her to return to this point in time, and Bai Yan later grew up successfully, it proved that there must be a way to break the deadlock.
What is it?
Her gaze turned, and suddenly stopped when it passed by a certain place—
She knows!
She knew what she had overlooked!
Bai Xin!
The message he sent to her was obviously incomplete. At that time, she thought it was because the other party was also kidnapped and did not have time to finish speaking. But later she found out that the only person kidnapped was Bai Yan, so why did he only send half of the message?
It's a signal.
He must have been nearby at that time, which is why he suddenly lost the signal.
Bai Xin was eager to find someone, and it was impossible for her to return to a signal location to finish the message. Besides, the Bai family wouldn't be so careless as to let a child go out alone to look for someone...
From this, we can infer that Bai Xin and the Bai family’s rescuers must be nearby!
Of course, all of the above were just her conjectures without any evidence, but it happened that while looking around, she noticed a row of uneven marks on the other side of the river, which looked like fresh footprints.
This place is deserted and ordinary people will not come here. There are no bridges around, so the chances of kidnappers crossing the river with great difficulty are also low, and they don't need to be so close to the river.
Then the only family that could appear there during this time period could be the Bai family.
Thinking of this, a hint of joy appeared on her face, and she quickly turned to look at Bai Yan, wanting to share the news with him.
But he saw the leading man appeared behind him at some point, holding up an iron rod high—
"Bang!" A dull impact sound was heard.
Blood flowed down the girl's face.
She was completely unaware of this and slowly smiled at the boy she was protecting.
But Bai Yan's pupils trembled, and the hand that was supporting her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Hey, you..." His eyes instantly turned red.
The hand covering the girl's wound was glaringly red.
Fu Liangxia shook his head, his face pale, with a smile on his lips: "Don't worry, you will be rescued soon."
She could go back to sleep too.
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a search and rescue team was heard in the distance.
The girl's words, mixed with the sound of the wind, entered his ears. He stared at her blankly, and after a moment he found his voice: "Don't sleep! Someone is coming, we will definitely be saved!"
But he heard the kidnapper behind him snort coldly: "Do you think we are nothing?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab it.
However, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a tranquilizer bullet accurately shot the man, followed by the boy's childish cry: "Xiao Yan——"
Bai Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the sound, half holding the girl and quickly walked towards them.
Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and said: "Kidnapping a chaebol is a capital crime. Since there is no way to escape death, it is better to let you, the precious young master, pay for my life. It is worth it!"
He stabbed Bai Yan's head with a knife: "Die for me!"
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his lower body and lowered his head tremblingly.
Fu Liangxia, who was being held with half of his face covered in blood, had noticed his movements at some point, and used the steel wire stained with his companion's eye blood to forcefully pierce his unspeakable place.
"Little bitch!"
The man picked her up and was about to swing the knife, but Bai Yan was faster and slapped away the knife that he couldn't hold due to the pain.
The knife fell to the ground, and the man threw Fu Liangxia away in anger, then wanted to bend down to pick it up.
Bai Yan kicked the knife away.
He turned around and wanted to help Fu Liangxia, but saw that the girl was pushed too far and fell straight into the river.
"thump!"
The blood was diluted and melted away by the water, along with the girl's figure.
Bai Yan's heart was in a knot, and he immediately rushed over to save the person.
But he was grabbed by the waist by the rescue team who came running over: "Calm down, Mr. Bai. The current is too fast. Be careful. We will send people to search and rescue."
The wind was howling and the water was swirling rapidly, looking like a giant beast that devoured people without leaving any bones behind under the cover of night.
Bai Yan couldn't see anything.
He almost slid down and sat down: "Xiao Xia... Xiao Xia... It was me who killed Xiao Xia..."
It's all his fault.
If he hadn't been targeted, Xiao Xia wouldn't have come to save him, and he wouldn't have been pushed into the water, his life hanging in the balance.
Tears filled his eyes and he tried hard to break free from the search and rescue team's obstruction and jump down to find her.
It's all his fault. If it weren't for him...
She wouldn't...
…
"Xiao Xia——!"
In a room on the third floor of the Bai family courtyard, a figure let out a suppressed cry, then suddenly sat up from the bed.
The quilt slid down from his chest as he stood up, revealing a small piece of his white chest between his pajamas.
Bai Yan was silent in the darkness for a long time before he turned on the wall lamp on the side. He buried his face in his hands and closed his eyes: "What's going on..."
He dreamed of something that happened a long time ago. Unlike the vague image of the person who saved him in the past, this time the child who "sacrificed" to save him in the dream had a clear face, and the other person was actually...
Fu Liangxia...
Did they know each other before?
Why did he have no impression of her?
Bai Yan frowned tightly, and his mind seemed to still be stuck on the moment when the little girl was swallowed by the waves while trying to save him. He felt complicated.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room: "Brother, what's wrong? What did I hear you shout? Did you have a nightmare again?"
Hearing Bai Xin's voice, which clearly showed she was not sleepy, Bai Yan realized that she must be painting in the studio next door and happened to hear the noise. He withdrew his thoughts. Even though he knew that she couldn't see through the door, he still shook his head and said, "Nothing, just a dream."
"Did you dream about that again?"
"……Um."
The person outside the door was silent for a moment, then sighed, "It's been so long, and you still can't let it go?"
"...This time is different," Bai Yan rubbed his brows, "I saw her face."
"Is he an acquaintance?"
"Fu Liangxia."
There was silence outside the door for a moment: "..."
After a moment, Bai Xin seemed to have found a unique way to comfort her: "If it was really her, then the fact that she is alive and well until now at least proves..." You didn't kill anyone.
Of course he understood Bai Xin's unspoken intention, but this was the only thing to be thankful for.
because--
It was really bad that he had forgotten all of this and even said rude things to her several times.
