Chapter 14 Captivity
Fang Yuxin looked at the man standing at the window warily. She did not take the initiative to attack. This man gave her a strong feeling. She knew very well that she was no match for him. Afraid of waking up Bai Qianqian, she deliberately lowered her voice: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Because the man was standing with the light behind him, she couldn't see his face clearly and could only make out his general outline.
Bai Ye glanced at Bai Qianqian, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and felt relieved to know that he was fine. However, he couldn't tell anything from his face, and he looked at Fang Yuxin with scrutiny. Seeing the real person up close, he was even more certain that Fang Yuxin was Bai Qianqian's mother.
Thinking about the relationship between Fang Yuxin and Qiu Yiming, he felt a little complicated. Not angry, not happy, but just uncomfortable. And if he thought about it carefully, if Fang Yuxin and Qiu Yiming got married, their relationship would be really complicated.
Although he and Fang Yuxin didn't know each other before, it was an indisputable fact that Bai Qianqian had the blood of both of them. At this time, he didn't want to confess to Fang Yuxin or get closer to her. He just thought of Bai Qianqian and couldn't help but said, "Protect him well, and be careful of the Qiu family." He didn't wait for Fang Yuxin to answer, he put his hand on the windowsill and jumped out.
Fang Yuxin felt confused. Although she didn't sense any ill will from Bai Ye, the sudden appearance of such a man in the room was enough to alert her. She didn't expect that he would run away after saying something inexplicable. She jumped out of bed and rushed to the window. She leaned over and looked down. It was quiet below, without a single figure. The person who jumped down seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
She closed the window, drew the curtains, and returned to bed, carefully hiding the knife under her pillow. As soon as Fang Yuxin lay down, Bai Qianqian subconsciously squeezed into her arms, unconsciously calling "Mom, don't leave". Fang Yuxin's heart suddenly softened, and she reached out to hold Bai Qianqian, but she thought of Bai Ye's words. When he said "protect him", he was referring to Bai Qianqian, which meant that he was most likely Bai Qianqian's father. But if he was Bai Qianqian's father, why didn't he take him away? Would he really feel relieved? They had never even met before!
And the last sentence, "Be careful of the Qiu family", made Fang Yuxin worry more than the previous sentence, "Protect him well". She remembered that dream. In the dream, after the end of the world, the Qiu family still controlled the army. Even because Qiu Yiming and Qiu Hongsheng both awakened powerful attack abilities, the power of the Qiu family was even greater than before the end of the world. The Fang family and the Qiu family had a close relationship, and the Qiu family took good care of them. It was not until later that Fang Mengyao spread rumors and completely ruined the reputation of the Fang family, making them bear the infamy. The Qiu family's care for them changed from open to secret.
In fact, there were many people who wanted to take advantage of her. If it weren't for her brother's strength and her ability to protect herself, coupled with the Qiu family's secret protection, they would have been killed long ago. So when Qiu Yiming chose Fang Mengyao, she didn't feel resentful, but just felt sorry that they were not destined to be together. But now that she thinks about it carefully, if the Qiu family really wanted to protect them, how could they let those rumors spread with their power?
They lived in fear in that dream, treading on thin ice with every step, and did not dare to think deeply about many problems. Now, in the dead of night, Fang Yuxin recalled the whole dream in her mind, and she gradually found that many small details that she had ignored were wrong. The more she thought about it, the more she felt chilled, and even felt cold all over. Fortunately, Bai Qianqian, who was like a small heater in her arms, became her only warmth at this moment.
It was at this time that Fang Yuxin came up with the idea of keeping Bai Qianqian by her side. Although the man looked very strong, if the end of the world really came, everything would be different. Bai Qianqian was still a child, and it would be much safer for him to stay with her. After all, she still had a spiritual home for cultivating immortals.
…
After breakfast, Fang Yuxin left Bai Qianqian at home to cultivate her relationship with Qu Qianhe, and drove out. Bai Qianqian wanted to follow, but Fang Yuxin didn't agree. This time she planned to go to the live poultry market and buy some live poultry to raise in the Lingfu. There was a bamboo forest in the Lingfu, and she planned to raise the live poultry in it.
After leaving home, she did not go directly to the live poultry market, but first found a safe place to park the car, locked the car door, and went directly into the spiritual space. With Bai Qianqian at home, it was not easy for her to enter the space, so she went in now, cut bamboo with a knife, made a few simple fences, and circled several places in the bamboo forest, ready to raise some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, etc.
That dream was so real that she even felt many times that it was not a dream at all, but the real future. In the dream, she and Fang Yuyang often lacked food and water due to insufficient preparation in the early stage. Sometimes they were so hungry that they could even swallow the unpalatable mutant creatures. So after she had the spiritual space, she planned to raise poultry, livestock and aquatic products in it to provide food and drink in the future.
After she had circled the area, Fang Yuxin got out of the car and went into a large shopping mall. After changing her clothes in the toilet, she rented a small truck and drove to the live poultry market. She bought some chickens, ducks, geese, and even pigeons and quails, and filled the truck with cages. After driving the car to a deserted place, she sent all the cages into the bamboo forest. Then, she continued to drive to several nearby livestock farms and bought some fragrant pigs, cattle, sheep, and rabbits, which she also sent to the bamboo forest.
On the way back, Fang Yuxin's cell phone rang. It was Fang Yuyang who was still abroad discussing business. The deal had been settled and he was about to come back. He called to ask Fang Yuxin if there was anything she wanted, and he would buy it for her.
Fang Yuxin was so excited that she almost cried when she heard Fang Yuyang's voice. In her dream, she and Fang Yuyang supported each other and depended on each other for two years. Fang Yuyang became her only support and spiritual sustenance for survival, so Fang Yuyang's death was a great blow to her, so that less than half a year after Fang Yuyang's death, she fell into Fang Mengyao's death trap.
"Brother!" Fang Yuyang just called out, and tears fell uncontrollably. She tried her best to calm her voice, but she still choked up a bit. "Brother, I don't want anything. Please come back soon. I miss you."
The sound coming from the phone was a little distorted, but Fang Yuyang still heard that Fang Yuxin was in a bad mood. He subconsciously wondered if someone had bullied Fang Yuxin and made her sad, and asked with concern: "Xinxin, are you okay?"
Fang Yuxin tried to calm herself down, and her voice became calm again: "I'm fine, I just miss you, please come back soon! The flu is raging recently, take care of yourself outside. Don't bring any gifts, just come back." After she finished speaking, she tried to recall that in her dream, Fang Yuyang was not infected with the virus at this time, and he came back safely. However, she still couldn't rest assured without seeing Fang Yuyang in person.
So Fang Yuxin reminded him again, and only stopped nagging until Fang Yuyang promised to come back by plane immediately, and told him to be careful on the road.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yuxin took a deep breath. She decided to wait for Fang Yuyang to come back and talk to her family about the end of the world and the spiritual palace. But Bai Qianqian had to be kept secret for now. Although he was only a five-year-old child, he appeared too suddenly and Fang Yuxin couldn't completely trust him.
