Chapter 5
I have a question.
Many people in the martial arts world wanted to kill Chu Yingyu, so he sounded like a big scourge in the martial arts world. I thought he was a cold-blooded and ruthless murderer.
However, it is known that he helped the handsome man with the broken arm to stop the bleeding, and he also took care of me in every way. According to the saying that the deeds should be judged, not the heart, his current actions have not harmed me. He is indeed much better than those who tried to harm me before.
But I was still very scared.
He wouldn't let me go, and so many people were wary of him. The brave old man also reminded me not to provoke him.
If he took me with him, it would not be like a kangaroo mother taking care of her baby, but like putting a time bomb on her body. She would be in constant fear, not knowing when she would be blown to pieces.
The boy himself tended to be aloof and cool. I didn't engage in small talk, and he didn't seem to want to explain anything to me. Looking back on our brief exchange, it was all orders and confusion about my behavior.
"sleep."
Well, he's giving orders again. I looked around the stone room. There was only one bed. Knowing my place, I didn't go to the bedside, but pointed at the stone bench.
"I slept on the table."
"Like sleeping on the table?"
“…”
How did he come to this conclusion? Can't he see that I gave up the bed because I was scared? I never thought of ladies first. This is the law of the jungle!
But I am also very conflicted. What if I lie and answer that I like to sleep on the table, and he takes it seriously, and he only lets me sleep on the table from now on?
"I want to sleep in the bed, but there is only one, so I think you should sleep on it. I am the older sister and you are the younger brother, right?" I found a very plausible excuse and forced out a polite smile.
"The bed can sleep two."
“…”
What is he hinting at? Although it was allowed in ancient times, from my modern perspective, he is still six months away from adulthood. He should be upright and not be lustful!
Or maybe, is it possible that he meant that I was just sleeping under the quilt, and it was me who was too dirty.
When I raised my eyes, I met the boy's dark eyes without any hesitation, and the corners of my eyes twitched twice.
It looks like an action movie, but it's actually a thriller.
But I was truly tired, and I wanted to rest, to sleep in my bed, not to hunker down on the cold stone table. After much deliberation, I decided to act decisively, like a warrior cutting off his own arm.
"Okay, let's sleep together."
The old man's stone room was plain and simple, but it had everything one needed, and Chu Yingyu was quite familiar with it. After exiting the passage and walking two more ways, there was a small hole for washing, and clean water was collected in the low-lying area.
Water is always seeping out from the cracks in the stone wall. There is a vat underneath. It seems that the water I just drank was taken from here.
After taking my time to finish it, I climbed onto the bed with a fearless attitude, rolled over and shrank into it, trying to minimize the space I took up.
My hands were placed obediently in front of me. My body was tired, but my mind was tense and I couldn't fall asleep quickly. I closed my eyes tightly, but I felt that my whole body was sensing the other person's every move.
Chu Yingyu was like a ghost, with no footsteps and light breathing. I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I quietly opened my eyes. The candle in the room had gone out, and it was so dark that I couldn't see my hand in front of me.
He didn't go to bed?
Considerately go and sleep on the ground?
Thinking about it, I turned over and groped in the darkness with one hand. The moment my wrist was grabbed, I screamed in shock. I couldn't see anything clearly, but I could feel Chu Yingyu's presence.
"I am here."
"I'm sorry, I thought you were sleeping on the floor."
"The bed is nice."
"Yes, yes, I didn't say anything to kick you out. Why didn't you make a sound?" I muttered softly, not daring to blame him, and pulled my hand back to lie down. This time, I really didn't dare to go beyond the line and lay down on the board properly.
The killer's professionalism is so good and he is very good at hiding his presence that any slackness can lead to a fatal crisis.
So I must always remember that serving the king is like serving a tiger, and I am the fish on the chopping board.
However, it is also true that Yurou can't sleep. My mind is extremely active and tense, and even though my body is extremely tired, I still can't fall asleep peacefully. Who understands the pain of insomnia? I can't sleep.
He was silent again. Did he fall asleep? How could young people sleep so well?
I gently turned over, my back to the boy on the outside of the bed, not daring to entertain any romantic thoughts. Although it was foolish to turn my back on the killer, if he really wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be able to avoid him even if I stared him in the eye.
Suddenly, I felt my head being touched, and all the blood in my body rushed to my brain. My entire back suddenly stiffened, and I dared not breathe, my heart was pounding.
What is he doing!
Why is he touching me? Is his true intention revealed? Am I going to lose my virginity? Has this thriller finally turned into a pornographic film?
I waited nervously for a few seconds, but other than being stroked, the other person didn't do anything extra. I could also interpret this as my mother coaxing me to sleep.
“…”
I was speechless for a moment. In fact, I was mentally prepared for unspeakable things to happen. I had no choice in this environment. On the bright side, I made a profit.
Who says the woman will definitely lose in this kind of situation? I have a good attitude, so he is the one who loses!
It turned out that Chu Yingyu didn't mean that. He was just like the bird in the emoticon pack that was testing the sea water.
It made my heart flutter, but I pretended to be abstinent.
Dog brother!
"Um, what are you doing?" Still with my back to him, I asked innocently.
"Soothe her to sleep."
Listen to me, thank you, little mom.
The worst thing is that the young man had a really good technique. He softened all my stiff bones. My tense nerves gradually calmed down in the soothing, and I yawned unconsciously.
…
When I woke up, I didn't know what time it was outside the cave. There was no one by the bed, and the quilt covered me, feeling warm.
Light began to filter through the cave, and I guessed it was noon. I felt like I had slept for a long time. I was hungry again, so I folded the quilt and went to the water room next door to take care of some personal matters.
I found that I didn't know how to do my hair properly, even though Chu Yingyu was doing it. The steel needle was so difficult to use, and I was afraid of pricking myself.
I lost the needle, so I braided my hair and found a hemp rope to tie it up.
On the table were wild fruits and water, which were obviously left by Chu Yingyu. I looked at these things with deep resentment and lost my appetite. I wanted to eat something with oil and salt.
Wait, the little killer isn't here, does that mean I can run away? Suddenly, I perked up, stuffed a few fruits in my sleeves, and ran outside.
After turning so many times, I finally got familiar with the route. I made mistakes twice, and on the third time I ran out of the cave!
The gloomy day, the sea breeze still blowing, the fine snow turned into heavy snow. The bloody scenes were covered in white, and nature concealed the evidence of people's crimes.
There must be wild animals on the island. Many corpses have been dragged away. I don’t want to find out where they went.
There was no more sound of fighting outside, and several ships docked at the beach also sailed away one after another. The disabled people supported each other to get on board. I looked around and buried my head, trying to get in.
The only way to leave the island is by boat, and there are no planes here!
I looked around but didn't see Chu Yingyu, so I pretended to limp into the crowd and boarded the ship. The evil ship looked flashy and strange, so I naturally chose a normal-style ship.
Amidst the throng of people, I unexpectedly spotted the tallest, handsome man with a broken arm at the end. Handsome men are always conspicuous. Although he looked a little down and out, he was standing on the observation deck, followed by two people. He looked like a leader.
The people around me were talking about it, and I heard a few things: the handsome man with the broken arm was from a wealthy family, and this ship belonged to him. He was doing good deeds and planned to send the remaining people on the island back to the Central Plains, regardless of good or evil.
It turns out that I saved a powerful character.
A thought suddenly occurred to me, and I was just about to go up and say hello, so as to get a first-class seat or something.
“Whoosh—”
Something brushed against my earlobe very lightly and quickly. I touched my ear belatedly and found nothing was wrong.
I thought I was overthinking it and wanted to continue walking towards the boat in the heavy snow.
"call out--"
There was another strange sound of wind, this time even more rapid, brushing against the side of my face with a cold gust of wind. A strand of hair fell from my temple. I looked at the needle stuck in the ground, then at the strand of hair in my palm, and finally became alert.
The winter sky was gloomy and depressing, and the heavy snow was eye-catching. I looked behind me with a tingling scalp, and saw a young man standing on the top of a tree in the snow-covered mountains.
He was like an eagle perched on a treetop, lonely and dangerous.
The distance was too far to clearly see his expression, but this distance was clearly unsafe. If he had intended to kill me, those two needles would not have missed.
Looking at each other from afar, I was wondering whether to crawl forward or turn back.
If I don't go back and force myself to go with the ship, will he start a massacre? What if these people are implicated? My conscience will be uneasy!
It felt like my legs weighed a thousand pounds and I couldn't move them easily no matter what.
The unknown dangers and the possibility of killing others finally made me turn around with a guilty conscience and go in the opposite direction of the boat on the beach.
The snow was already very thick. I stumbled across it, taking one deep step and one shallow step until I reached the edge of the woods. I waved my hands and shouted at the tree.
"I'm here! Don't shoot anyone else! Everyone is responsible for their own actions!"
I've already come back, so why don't I show off and be a lone hero? Who else but me can be a lone hero?
The boy at the top landed silently, leaving shallow footprints on the new snow.
He asked, "Want to run?"
I murmured timidly, waiting for his punishment. Maybe because he didn't give off any pressure, I started to think outside the box.
There were things like imprisonment in a small dark room, punishment with chains and whips, and a whole host of other hey-hey plots.
"We're not going back with them. We're going alone."
Chu Yingyu explained this, and I was stunned. "That's it?"
"how?"
You can’t do it to me anymore, handsome guy!
A bad guess flashed through my mind. In order to prevent myself from having wild thoughts and internal friction, I looked at this face that showed no emotion.
"If I hadn't turned back and boarded the boat, would you have chased after them, killed all these people, and taken me away?"
“…”
Chu Yingyu looked at me with a hint of doubt, "Why should I bother with this?"
"Well, just angry, and then killing people indiscriminately!" I admit that I have read too many novels, and I am crazy about those paranoid and yandere male characters who are willing to destroy the world for one person.
"I'm a killer, not a murderer."
“…”
It's convincing and well-reasoned, it just means no overtime at work, right?
"So even if I left just now, you wouldn't kill anyone but let me go?"
"Um."
“…”
At this moment, a barrage of curse words flashed through my mind.
It was because I thought too much and exaggerated things for myself that I missed the chance to escape.
"But next time I find you, I might even cut off both of your legs."
“…”
Fortunately I didn’t run away!
My mood was like a roller coaster. One second I was regretting not running away, and the next second I was just grateful for surviving the disaster.
After confirming that my life was not in danger, I followed him back to the cave in disappointment.
Snow-covered mountain roads are not easy to walk on; they're cold and slippery, and the areas without snow are even harder to climb. I must say, is it possible that the lone brave old man didn't teach me his skills, and I simply fabricated that memory?
I twisted my ankle slightly, and looked numbly at my right leg stuck in the bushes.
Chu Yingyu, the guide, had vanished from sight, so I resigned myself to pulling my leg. The tangled undergrowth was tightly wrapped around my ankle, and if I tried to pull it with brute force, the barbs would likely pierce my boot and injure my foot.
The conditions are so tough, I don't want to add insult to injury.
I stopped struggling and concentrated my mind, raised my left hand, and felt the magical feeling of luck flowing as described in the book.
It's as if the person who's pooping is brewing.
"Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms!"
"Overwhelming!"
"Three points return to the original energy!"
"Great Shift of the Universe!"
"Star Absorbing Technique!"
"What are you doing."
Social death happens in an instant.
My middle school spirit was halfway through burning when Chu Yingyu's doubts poured down on me like a bucket of cold water. I covered my face with my hands as I couldn't hold back a good fart.
Ah, how embarrassing, I got seen again. I just wanted to see if I could perform some magic.
In these tens of seconds of silence, I seemed to see the kaleidoscope of life.
"My foot is stuck."
"What is the Star Absorbing Technique?"
"...I, I was just chanting for fun."
The young man ignored my occasional fit and drew his sword, slashing away at the bushes in a few strokes. Sheathing his sword, he crouched before me, reaching out to touch my right foot.
I took a step back in panic, "It's okay! It doesn't hurt! It's just stuck!"
Chu Yingyu, who is a simple person, chose to carry me back, and it was another one-handed hug that showed his boyfriend's strength. In order to keep myself steady, I hugged his neck again.
take off!
After bringing me back to the stone chamber safely, he saw the untouched fruit on the table and asked me why I didn't eat it.
I didn't dare tell the truth, so I took out all the wild fruits I had hidden and ate them one bite at a time in front of him.
So sour!
Maybe it was because of the sad scene, I missed the modern times too much. Why did I travel through time and be so unlucky to be picked up by the killer and follow him in danger.
I want to eat hot and sour noodles, big plate chicken, stinky tofu, exploding cake, spicy lobster, and shuangyuan hotpot. I want to play games and work part-time at a dance studio to earn some pocket money. I also want to attend my cousin's wedding, travel with friends, and have another campus romance.
It's all gone to waste.
When a tear fell, I woke up from my sadness and wiped it away with my sleeve in panic.
I thought he didn't notice, but he half-knelt in front of me and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Why are you crying?"
Not expecting him to understand, I just said, "The fruit is so sour, I want to eat meat."
He wiped away my tears and rubbed my head. The boy was like a steady and reliable elder. He said to wait for him.
It had been a long time since Chu Yingyu came back, and my emotions had stabilized.
He came to me with a grilled fish wrapped in some large green leaves. I stared at him in a daze, unable to utter a word.
Seriously, it's hard not to have feelings for me like this! Stop it! Don't try to capture me!
