I led the way, Qin Lan trailed behind, and Da Fei and his group followed cautiously behind us. Following that sharp soprano scream, I took steady yet slightly excited steps, a feeling of joy welling up in my heart, like a hunter finding prey. No matter how hard I tried to hide it, the slight upward curl of my lips betrayed my feelings.
We hadn't walked many steps when we stopped. Looking at the scene before us, I frowned deeply. I had never expected such a scene, and it brought out all the compassion that had been missing in me for years.
A ragged, unkempt woman—yes, a woman, to be sure. Judging by the naked eye, she looked about thirty. While the saying goes, "A man is made of gold," a closer look reveals she's quite the beauty. She was wearing simple clothing made of animal skins and fur. In this cold winter, even just the warmth seemed a torment to me. What a pity, a woman like this stranded on this deserted island. I sighed again. Why did it evoke such sympathy? A woman naturally wouldn't easily inspire pity, and I'm not one to be tempted by appearances.
"Woo--Mom--Mom--" The source of the voice was a girl of seven or eight years old, and she was struggling to hold a baby in her arms.
It turned out to be a family of three.
I, Chen Fei, have never bullied the weak, women, or children. I also have an inexplicable intuition, an inexplicable confidence, that the secrets hidden in these people will lead us onto a new path, open up a new direction for us. This woman will be the key.
Fortunately, I had set up this trap only to trap my prey and obtain the clues I wanted, with no intention of harming anyone. I ordered a few brothers to fetch ropes and rescue the terrified woman trapped at the bottom of the pit.
"Mom... wu... Mom—" After the woman was pulled up, the seven or eight-year-old child stumbled toward her, his tiny body, barely reaching the woman's waist, twisting and rubbing against her slightly dirtied trouser legs. Tears welled in her eyes, the woman bent down, her body still trembling with fear, and took the baby from the older child's arms, shaking him briefly. With her other hand, she held the older child tightly, giving him a sense of security.
It's really quite touching. Ever since the plane crash and landing on this deserted island, I've seen how fickle and fickle people are. It's unusual to encounter such ordinary, simple emotions.
Although the scene was moving, I had to interrupt.
I pretended to cough, "Cough, cough, cough, I don't know how to address you."
"Little brother, just call me Zhizi." She raised her hand, wiped away her tears, and spoke with feigned composure. In a situation like this, one must be somewhat frightened. But a woman is a strong mother, and in such a situation, she would always stand alone and protect her child from the elements. This actually shocked me a little, and reminded me of my own resolute mother.
As I spoke, my tone softened a bit. "Zhizi, we have some things we need to know. We mean no harm, we just need your help. Can you come with us? It's not far over there." As I spoke, I gestured to the place where the fire was burning.
"Chen Fei, why are you still talking to them? Just kidnap the girl and be done with it." I really wanted to punch this "brave but foolish" and rude guy, Brother Dafei, to death. Isn't that nonsense? How could I not know? Kidnapping someone is easy, but getting any useful information is hard. It's not that I don't understand what Brother Dafei meant, but as a man, I disdain to do such a despicable thing as using a child to coerce a woman into submission.
I had no choice but to laugh it off and beat around the bush with Brother Da Fei, "Brother Da Fei, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, give me some time." I swear, my expression at this time must have been extremely flattering instead of gritting my teeth, which was enough to satisfy Brother Da Fei, the "superior"'s psychological satisfaction.
"Okay, brother, you come, you come." He stopped to think for about thirty seconds, gave in, and with a wave of his hand, he took all his men back to their original resting place.
I put on a smile again, squatted down straight, and was looking at the little girl, about seven or eight years old, eye to eye. "Little sister, do you think my brother is a bad person?" I felt like I had really tried my best to show my sincerity.
"You rescued mom, you are not a bad person, and uncle is not a bad person." The first half of the sentence, which was so clear and tender that it was only heard by a child, originally made me feel distracted, but what the hell was the second half? How could a good young man like me become an uncle? I don't have a face full of shattered hair, so how could I be promoted to an uncle? Ah, my little heart really couldn't stand this stimulation, and my face was full of black lines.
Qin Lan, who hadn't left yet, couldn't help but burst out laughing at the little girl's innocent words, completely ignoring my embarrassment at the moment. "Uncle, haha, Qin Fei, did you hear that? You're already an uncle."
I glared at Qin Lan fiercely. This young lady really enjoyed laughing at me. "Let's see if I'll save you again next time," I fiercely resolved to myself.
After Qin Lan finished laughing at me, she finally regained some of her conscience and joined in. "Yes, Zhizi, come with us. Although we set this trap, we have no ill will towards you or the child, otherwise we wouldn't have gone to the trouble of rescuing you." Well, perhaps women always communicate better with each other. In no time, Qin Lan convinced Zhizi.
