The moonlight was bright and white like gauze, pouring into the quiet cottage through the small window.
Balu received a call not long ago. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he kissed her forehead, got out of bed and left the building.
Nanxi sat up when she heard the roar of the engine gradually fade away at the door.
She didn't know what time it was, but it was probably late at night.
A person sat on the bed, clutching the thin blanket tightly in his hands, his crystal eyes looking particularly bright in the moonlight.
No, she can't just sit there and wait for death!
It's too dangerous here and I can't run out rashly, but I can find a way to contact my family and ask my brother to come find me.
She had to find a way to leave as soon as possible.
This tough man actually wanted her to bear his child, so she would definitely not let him go easily. Moreover, after spending the past few days together, she found that Balu was paranoid, irritable, and possessive. Even when sleeping, he would hold her tightly in his arms.
When she left the red light district, she was still naively thinking that he just wanted to sleep with her. Now that things had come to this, it was better to follow him than to be abused by those stinky men. When he got tired of her, she could coax him to let her go, and maybe he would agree.
She never expected that he would actually want to marry her.
Especially before going to bed at night, he actually said, "Xixi, I contacted Master Zanjie and asked him to hold a Buddhist wedding for us. Next week is Luoqi Festival, and we can hold the wedding on that day.
After we leave Daqili, I will join the government army and settle down. I will then hold a grand wedding for you, okay? Xixi, I want to marry you so much that I can’t wait even a day...”
She came, but Baru still didn't let her go. He pressed her down, biting and touching her like a wolf, and she almost lost control.
The thin blanket was twisted out of shape by her, and the girl's black and white eyes were particularly firm in the night.

The Mekong River at midnight is quiet yet dangerous.
The three brothers, huddled in the narrow cabin of the fishing boat, were fully armed, their sharp wolf eyes staring at the direction of the river bend through the four-eye night vision goggles.
"Zhan Peng, it's already the middle of the night. Is your information reliable?" Na Tu kicked Zhan Peng beside him in annoyance.
"Of course it's reliable. My spy has been following him for more than a month, so there's no mistake. Just wait." Zhan Peng shook his head to dispel the sleepiness.
"We've caught Daotuo Kaqin in the nick of time. If you still can't get a seat in the Joint Defense Army office, go home and have babies and wash diapers. Don't even fucking hang around in the army anymore."
Baru adjusted the direction of the night vision goggles in annoyance.
"Don't worry. This time we have caught the old Taoist's son reselling arms. If he dares to block my official career again, I will go directly to Naypyidaw and snipe him, and be done with it. Anyway, the guns of the Northern Myanmar Joint Defense Army must be in my pocket." The bandit Zhan Peng patted his good brother's shoulder.
"When I get promoted, Na Tu, you will be the second-in-command. What future can you have fighting guerrilla warfare in the Allied Forces? Don't listen to Aaron's empty promises, learn from me." Zhan Peng began to sow discord. He had long wanted Na Tu to come and help him out so that he could be lazy and go home to hug his wife. Who knew that this blockhead only wanted to follow Balu and could not be persuaded.
"Don't even think about it. Aaron went to the military academy, so I retired and took my wife and children to Yangon to do business. Who the hell has a family and wants to live with their head hanging on their belt?" Natu took out a cigarette, took off his mask and started smoking.
"I'm telling you, this is a private job tonight, and the payment will be deposited into my wife's account tomorrow, not a penny less, or you won't let me out next time."
"Look, look—" Zhan Peng complained to Balu, "He's really your soldier, just as greedy as you, without any brotherly love."
"Tell your people to buy my share in Bangkok as jewelry or other things women like, and get some crocodile leather bags. My wife likes that kind of thing, so buy the expensive ones." Baru's voice was emotionless, his thin lips opening and closing, but his eyes were always fixed on the river outside.
"You guys have wives, right? Who doesn't? My Yana is so sweet and obedient. I'm going to marry her when I get home. By the way, A'long, let's get married together on the day you choose." Zhan Peng snatched the cigarette from Natu's hand and started smoking with his head tilted.
"Get lost, don't get involved with me, marry yourselves, what's the point of getting together?" Baru rubbed the muzzle of the MP5 submachine gun in his hand with his thumb and spoke impatiently.
"Balu, don't ever ask me for help." Zhan Peng was so angry that his veins were popping out.
"Stop making a fuss, there's some noise." Na Tu suddenly picked up the gun and crawled out of the cabin.
The bickering people quickly entered combat mode, like wild beasts lurking in ambush at night, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
A cargo ship with a cargo capacity of more than 400 tons was coming towards them. No one would have thought that when passing through the river bend, three cheetah-like agile figures would climb up the small fishing boat passing by and reach the VIP lounge without anyone noticing.
The eldest son of the Daotuo family was still sleeping soundly when he was tied up and stuffed under the bed.
The guards outside had been dealt with. The Raptor Assault Team, which had been lying in ambush, received the order and quickly attacked, taking control of the entire ship. After everything was ready, Biaozi walked in.
"Brother Lu, the people are under control, and the weapons have been counted. They are definitely the weapons from the international aid!"
Baru took a deep drag on his cigarette. "Damn it! They'd rather sell internationally donated weapons to local militias for profit than give them to the troops below them. The military and political buildings are fucking rotten from the inside out."
"Okay, it's not just one or two days. Myanmar has been marginalized in ASEAN because those high-ranking people only care about their own wallets. What can we soldiers do? We can only guard our own piece of land." Zhan Peng patted his good brother on the shoulder.
"Biaozi, call Daotuo Keqin and ask him to pay 100 million US dollars to redeem his son's life." Na Tu took out his mobile phone and threw it to his men and gave the order.
Biaozi was a little confused and looked up at Balu.
"What are you looking at? I'm your immediate superior." Na Tu slapped Biaozi on the head, looking down on his dazed look who only obeyed Balu's orders.
Balu raised his chin and signaled Biaozi to do as he said.
"At first I couldn't understand why you insisted on saving Biaozi when so many kids died in the octagonal cage of the underground fighting arena. He was small and skinny, and didn't look very smart. He wasn't worth a hundred thousand dollars at all. Now it seems like you made a profit."
Zhan Peng lit a cigarette and took a puff, then sat on the sofa in the VIP room and chatted with his good brother with a smile on his face.
"Yes, who would have thought that this stupid boy could grow up to this extent in three years and become a good sword that is both fast and obedient." Na Tu also sighed. After Biaozi was sent to the military camp, he had been following him, but this stupid guy would not listen to anyone except Balu's orders, and sometimes he couldn't even order him around.
Baru unscrewed a bottle of water and drank it, then spoke, "Brother Jin said that only those who dare to fight deserve to live. Biaozi looked weak at that time, but he fought the hardest and most ruthlessly. A soldier like him can't be wrong."
