Chapter 23 Pei Zhouwu, I won't abandon you
Liu Fuying walked in and gently closed the door with his backhand.
Both windows of the room were closed, and the bloody smell inside could not escape. The strong, suffocating smell surrounded her tightly. She stood behind the door, not daring to step forward to confirm.
Just watching, Pei Zhouwu seemed to have stopped breathing.
After swallowing her uneasiness, she still walked over.
He slowly walked to the bed and looked down, and finally realized that Pei Zhouwu was still breathing. Even if it was very weak, it was enough for Liu Fuying to breathe a sigh of relief.
She sat down in front of the bed, her eyes fixed on the bloodiest part of his chest.
That place is still bleeding.
The bamboo mat beneath him was wet and red in a large area, which was more than shocking.
Liu Fuying reached out and tried to open his collar to see the wound, but as soon as she touched the collar, she was grabbed tightly by a big hand.
Pei Zhouwu still maintained an alert consciousness in his sleep, but a slight touch woke him up.
He seemed to have used all his strength. Liu Fuying felt as if her wrist was about to be broken. The pain made her face grim.
"Uncle Pei...Uncle Pei..."
At first, Pei Zhouwu's consciousness was still vague.
After hearing such a delicate and weak voice, his dilated pupils slowly focused.
After realizing it, he immediately let go and quickly propped himself up to sit up.
Liu Fuying was shocked. He was so badly injured that she couldn't move. If he got a cramp, something might happen. If he died, then she would have wasted all her efforts in vain.
"Don't move. Lie down quickly."
She held his shoulders and tried to push him down, but he grabbed her wrist again.
"What are you doing here?" He spoke so weakly that he almost didn't have the strength to speak. There were large red marks on his lips, as if they were left after he wiped away the blood. Every word he spoke seemed to make him spit out blood.
"You shouldn't have come. Go away."
Pei Zhouwu frowned, but not because of his own pain, but because he was worried about Liu Fuying.
"I know……"
"You know what, now, get out of here immediately."
"I...I'm worried about you, I..."
"If you get into trouble and lose your life because of me because of your worry about me, how do you want me to deal with it?"
Liu Fuying pursed her lips and stopped arguing with him. For a man like him, it would be more painful to watch her get into trouble because of him than to be seriously injured or die himself.
"Okay, I can go, but first you tell me what happened."
Although she stood up, she did not leave obediently.
Pei Zhouwu's answer made her even more worried.
"After you leave, forget about this place, forget about me, and stop thinking about whether you will repay me or not. If you really want to repay me, then don't come here again. This is the best way to repay me."
"I don't understand." Liu Fuying sat down again.
"Will something happen to you? What will they do to you? They won't really kill you, will they?"
What should she do then?
Are you really just going to let it go, abandon the plan and give up on him?
Pei Zhouwu's body, which was half-supported sideways, finally fell down, apparently exhausted.
"If we kill the guards and prove the crime of treason, what do you think will happen?" Pei Zhouwu asked her weakly.
"But you didn't, you..."
Liu Fuying suddenly choked and pricked up his ears when he heard a noise outside the house that sounded like someone talking.
Pei Zhouwu also noticed it, and looked at Liu Fuying with his brows as tight as they could be.
"Got it. I'll hide."
Liu Fuying went around the bed, then crawled down to the ground and crawled under the bed.
But as soon as she got in, she immediately realized something was wrong. Where she had just stood, there was a large puddle of water dripping from her body. She was afraid that it would arouse suspicion. It was fine all the way from the door. The soles of her feet had dried up a lot when she stepped on the sand and gravel outside. The weather was hot, so the few scattered drops dried up quickly and would not attract attention.
When Liu Fuying was thinking about how to solve the problem, the iron chains on the bed that bound his hands and feet began to move.
Then, Pei Zhouwu's feet landed on the ground.
There was blood all over his body, even his heels were bloody.
Liu Fuying saw him struggling to stand up, then took a few unsteady steps forward, not knowing what to do. At the same moment the person outside pushed the door open, the washbasin on the shelf not far from the bed was knocked over and fell in front of the bed.
The water in the basin spilled all over the floor, and Liu Fuying understood his intention.
The water in the basin was just enough to cover up the water stains she left.
"Pei... Pei Zhouwu, you are still alive." The person who came in from outside should be the guard outside.
"You still have the strength to stand up, it seems that your injuries are not serious, you..."
"Stop talking, stop talking. Just make sure he's not dead. Let's leave quickly to prevent him from going crazy and killing people again."
"Let's go, let's go."
Fortunately, the two guards had no other intentions and just came to see if Pei Zhouwu was still alive.
The door was quickly closed again and the room became quiet again.
Liu Fuying knew that Pei Zhouwu was just holding on. Just as she was about to come out, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the direction where the water flowed. She squinted her eyes to confirm that there was indeed a stick of incense with only a little bit of it burning by the leg of the table in front of her.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, Pei Zhouwu's body suddenly fell down and hit the ground heavily.
"Pei Zhou Wu!"
Liu Fuying hurriedly crawled out from under the bed, walked to Pei Zhouwu and squatted down, checking his breath to make sure he was still breathing before feeling relieved.
"I'll help you to the bed."
She tried to help the man up, but was stopped by someone grabbing her wrist again.
"Let's go, let's go."
He was so exhausted that he didn't even have the energy to say a few more words.
Liu Fuying understood his anxiety. If he fell asleep, he would really not be able to protect her at all.
"I know." Liu Fuying's response seemed to be irrelevant, and he said affirmatively: "I know they must have used some despicable means to seriously injure you, otherwise they would not be your opponent at all, right?"
It seemed like a question, but in fact she already had the answer in her heart.
Pei Zhouwu did not nod, and there was a hint of dejection in his eyes, as if to say that even if she was right, so what.
Even if those people used despicable means, they would not be stupid enough to admit it. They were united in guarding the secret and could not even leak the news. No matter what he said, most likely no one would believe it.
He has already killed the people, and the corpse is the biggest evidence of his crime.
"I will help you." Liu Fuying looked at him seriously and spoke very solemnly.
"you……"
"Don't be afraid. Even if everyone in this world abandons you and doesn't believe in you, I won't give up on you."
At this moment, what could move him more than the certainty of fighting against the whole world?
Pei Zhou's eyes, which were so blurred that they were about to lose consciousness, gradually focused again. He was shocked at first, then suddenly wondered if he had heard it wrong, and finally found the final answer in Liu Fuying's red eyes.
