Gu Linbei was startled by the person who suddenly pounced on him.
Lu Yan, on the other hand, seemed to have anticipated the current situation, with a slight mocking smile on his face.
"My benefactor, you saved me. I really have no way to repay you, so I can only repay you with my body."
Gu Linbei and the young man looked at the woman who pounced on them in disbelief.
The next moment, Gu Linbei suddenly stepped back as if he had touched something dirty, almost bumping into the thick tree behind him.
"Wife, I don't mean that, please don't misunderstand me."
At this moment, Gu Linbei looked like he had seen a ghost, with fear in his eyes.
However, Lu Yan seemed to have anticipated the current situation, and only a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Gu Linbei's heart raced at Lu Yan's expression, and in an instant, fear filled his eyes. However, before he could speak, the woman who had spoken had already turned her gaze to Lu Yan.
"Madam, please give me a chance to live. Even if I go back home, I will definitely be despised. If I can follow you two, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope..."
There was a hint of hope in the trembling voice.
Lu Yan looked at the woman seriously and saw that she was also staring at him intently.
The fire next to her crackled, as if burning on the woman's heart.
In fact, Hong Xing had noticed Gu Linbei from the moment she first laid eyes on him. A tall and handsome man like him was extremely rare among peasant men.
So, she fell in love with Gu Linbei at first sight.
But she never expected...
This man actually got married.
"Madam..." Hong Xing paused and looked at the person in front of her cautiously: "Please help me."
There was a plea in the trembling voice.
If it were someone else, they might not care.
After all, for women of this era, it was no big deal for their husband to take a concubine.
"Help you?" Lu Yan smiled.
Hong Xing thought Lu Yan was wavering. A look of joy immediately appeared on her face. "Madam, don't worry. I will definitely serve the master well in the future. If you give me a bite to eat, I will definitely repay you well."
She spoke very seriously, but Lu Yan burst out laughing.
In the silent night, Lu Yan's laughter seemed particularly harsh.
At this moment, Hong Xing's brows were tightly furrowed.
She felt that things seemed different from what she had imagined, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.
Then, she saw Lu Yan slowly stand up from the stone.
Those icy eyes were filled with bloodthirsty coldness. Lu Yan walked up to Hong Xing and asked almost word by word, "Didn't I just help you? How do you plan to repay me?"
After hearing this, Hong Xing was stunned for a moment.
In fact, when the boy woke up earlier, she heard what Lu Yan and the boy said.
She knew that she had escaped from Qinglong Village, and she also knew that the two people in front of her were not too cruel.
In a flash, she had made plans for herself.
After all, if I go back home at this time, I will definitely have no way to survive.
When she was tied up and taken to the village, many people were watching. Knowing where she was going, she would have no way out at home. If she went back, she would definitely be pointed at and criticized, and perhaps even forced to wear a white silk scarf.
It would be better to rely on this couple.
But she didn't expect that the seemingly gentle Lu Yan would ask such a question. It was in vain that she had just tried to take advantage of women's soft-heartedness and set a trap for Lu Yan.
In just a moment, the expression on Hong Xing's face could almost be described as wonderful.
She pursed her lips and looked at Lu Yan cautiously.
The woman's face was smeared with something like soot, making it look a little dark. However, in the darkness, her dark eyes seemed to be gleaming with a blazing light, brilliant and gentle.
You can be sure that the woman in front of you must be quite good-looking.
After this thought came to her mind, Hong Xing felt even more dissatisfied. She prided herself on being the most beautiful girl in the area, and what kind of marriage was unworthy of her? Yet, now, she was being humiliated like this.
"Madam, I..."
"Don't tell me you're going to pledge your love to me." Lu Yan smiled and said slowly, "I'm a woman, why would I ask you to pledge your love to me?"
After Lu Yan finished speaking, Hong Xing turned her gaze to Gu Linbei again.
However, when Gu Linbei looked at her, it was as if he saw the White Bone Demon.
The vigilant gaze was so humiliating.
Hong Xing was choked by Lu Yan's question, and tears welled up in her eyes. When she raised her head, she no longer placed her hopes on Lu Yan, but looked at Gu Linbei seriously.
Lu Yan's eyes have seen too many people in the apocalypse, so she can tell at a glance whether Hong Xing is a human or a ghost.
"master……"
Hong Xing hasn't started crying yet.
Gu Linbei’s straight man speech is online.
"Am I old? How am I old?"
In one sentence, Hong Xing almost choked to death.
Lu Yan had just been upset about this jerk man attracting romantic interests everywhere, but now she couldn't help but almost burst out laughing. She raised her eyes, her sharp eyes like a hawk staring straight at Hong Xing.
Then, he saw the expression on the woman's face froze for a moment.
Lu Yan suddenly felt very bored.
She looked at the sky.
The night was originally quiet, but before I knew it, the east had slowly begun to brighten. The sun shone down from above, clearly indicating another hot day.
"Okay, we should go."
Lu Yan said this to Gu Linbei.
I didn't return to Xiaohe Village last night, and I guess Yu Nian and the others must be worried.
"good."
Gu Linbei seemed to have gradually gotten used to Lu Yan's dominance, and all he had to do when following her was to be her protector.
The two people wanted to leave, and Hong Xing became anxious when she saw this situation.
She was not mistaken, there was an ox cart not far from them.
There seemed to be a lot of things piled on the ox cart.
Obviously, the couple's life is relatively easy.
Especially as the sky gradually brightened, Hong Xing finally saw Gu Linbei's face clearly. The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he exuded a murderous aura, but it didn't repel people.
Such a man can be found at a glance in the crowd.
Hong Xing felt that he must be the one she was looking for. Seeing the couple about to leave, she immediately knelt on the ground with a plop.
Hearing the sound of knees hitting the ground, the young man next to her couldn't help but look at Hong Xing twice more.
"Don't you feel any pain?"
How could Hong Xing not feel pain? However, this was her only chance now. If she missed it, then perhaps death would be waiting for her.
Thinking of this, her head hit the ground again.
The crisp sound coming from the side really made Lu Yan and Gu Linbei look unhappy. Fortunately, there was no one here at all, so they still had a chance.
