Tomorrow Night Town Sacrifice 3
"Let me go!"
Chu Li was held by two other monks. She tried to break free from their shackles, but found that the more she resisted, the stronger the force became.
Chu Li frowned and looked at You Chengze subconsciously.
She still remembers how the man bravely stepped forward to lend a hand when she was surrounded by residents of the small town of Lobi.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to say it, she had to admit that she did hold on to a glimmer of hope.
However, You Chengze's situation was not much better.
As soon as Master He Yu gave the order, the group of townspeople started to take action. They surrounded You Chengze, and some of them who were not afraid of death took out hemp ropes to tie him up.
Chu Li felt a chill in his heart.
The residents had already lost their minds due to the drought, and the prolonged lack of water had caused them to do unusual and unconventional things. They could sacrifice young children, and they were also very likely to believe others who were harmful to her and You Chengze.
She couldn't do that.
Chu Li didn't have time to think too much at the moment and struggled hard.
The two monks had incredibly strong hands, and the subtle tingling in her wrists was extremely unbearable for her.
She couldn't help but moan softly.
“Quite capable.”
He Yu's annoying and contemptuous voice sounded again.
Chu Li looked at him impatiently and was about to open his mouth to retort when he saw He Yu grab the alpaca's slender neck with his palm.
"what are you up to!"
Chu Li was shocked and immediately spoke out to stop him.
However, her roar had no effect.
He Yu glared at her coldly, grabbed the alpaca and dragged it forward. The frightened alpaca shook its head vigorously, but because the person restraining it was so strong, it could only make a slight scream.
Chu Li was frightened by the sound one after another.
The next moment, she suddenly felt an extra push from the palm behind her, and she was pushed forward by inertia.
The group didn't know where they were taking her.
The crowd surrounded the monk and chanted something.
Chu Li found it annoying and uneasy, and kept casting anxious glances at the alpaca being dragged in the distance.
She has always believed that even if she suffers the consequences, she will never let any small animals get hurt.
This time, the alpaca had suffered a lot. Chu Li was furious and annoyed, and she wanted to kill these people on the spot.
She thought that the two monks had already taken her to the holding room.
The next moment, she was thrown into the room by the two monks like garbage.
Chu Li was startled and quickly covered his face to prepare for the impact with the ground.
A gust of hot wind blew across the back of her hand, and she felt herself falling into a soft embrace.
Chu Li was stunned for a moment, and tried it with her hand. She quickly withdrew her hand until she touched the hot skin and suddenly raised her head.
The dim light slanted down, and the golden beams shuttled between You Chengze's fine hair and spread along his shiny head. His deep eyes were shining, and if you looked closely, you could see Chu Li's own face reflected in them.
In this hot and dry environment, a lingering fragrance wafted through, inexplicably soothing her uneasiness. She was familiar with this fragrance; it was the unique scent of You Chengze's clothing, a bit like herbs, sometimes light, sometimes strong.
Chu Li couldn't help swallowing, and his gaze continued to move down, and then quickly landed on both sides of You Chengze's swollen and red face.
She suddenly realized that it was caused by the residents' fight. Just as she was about to raise her hand to check her injuries, You Chengze's cold voice suddenly came from above her head: "You're in the way. You should get off now."
Chu Li came back to his senses, as if waking up from a dream, and quickly jumped out of his arms.
The next moment, the man who had just frowned raised his hand and gently stroked the furry ears that were suffocating in his arms.
Chu Li was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, and the dissatisfaction that surged in his heart instantly disappeared.
She had never seen a man who was so obsessed with pets.
For this reason, she decided not to bother about You Chengze's unkindness.
Chu Li straightened his clothes, then looked around the detention room for a long time.
The cell was small and cramped, with poor visibility. It was dim and hard to see anything clearly. The only light came from a small candle on the table at the door.
Looking at what was happening, Chu Li became increasingly angry. He then complained to You Chengze, "What on earth are these people thinking? They're actually trying to use a child's body as a sacrifice to pray for rain. This is completely illogical!"
"Xumeru Continent has been in turmoil for a long time. The situations in many small towns are complicated, contrary to common sense but also reasonable."
You Chengze rarely speaks so much.
He didn't look up, his hands kept repeating the stroking motion. But just as he finished speaking, Chu Li still accurately captured the inexplicable emotions that enveloped him.
Chu Li frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and said jokingly: "You Chengze, whose side are you on! Look at the situation we are in with this fur ball!"
After these words were spoken, You Chengze fell silent again.
Chu Li was not surprised at all and kept mumbling to himself.
Sometimes he would complain about these residents who believed in prejudice and would eventually fall into trouble; sometimes he would chat with You Chengze about other random things.
She talked a lot, but You Chengze neither disliked nor paid any attention to her.
Chu Li snorted lightly and walked around the detention room again, trying to find a way to escape.
The walls in the detention room are not like modern curved walls. Most of the buildings here are made of mud.
Chu Li was sure that he could not withstand the impact, so he boldly tried to hit the wall with his own body.
After repeating this process, the wall remained the same except for a few drops of dust.
Instead of getting what she wanted, she heard a series of chirping and meowing sounds.
Following the sound, I saw the stuffed doll and lop-eared rabbit in You Chengze's arms move their ears, as if laughing at their owner's stupidity.
What’s even more infuriating is that from Chu Li’s angle, the curve of the man’s lips is clearly visible.
pretty!
The spirit pet forgot its master and ran towards the enemy, and even laughed at itself together with the enemy!
That’s too much!
Chu Li stomped the ground angrily, as if this was the only way to vent his unhappiness.
She couldn't afford to offend him. Although Big Ice Cube was weak, he was still quite capable. She couldn't beat him. As for her furry son, she loved him so much that she couldn't bear to beat him.
Chu Li has never had any "dignity" in front of Mao Rongrong.
She sighed softly, still not giving up, and walked to the iron door of the detention room, trying to find another breakthrough.
She stretched out her hands and gripped the iron door of the detention room, trying with all her might to push it out.
However, the heavy iron chain remained motionless, and the sound of iron blocks colliding filled the air.
Chu Li sighed softly, then leaned against the iron gate, staring towards the door and shouting, "Is there anyone there? Is there anyone there? Let us out! Even if you don't believe we can save anyone, you still have to let us go!"
She didn't want to die in this small and cramped space not long after arriving at Xumi University. That would be too disgraceful!
"Is there anyone here? If you hear me, please answer me!"
Chu Li didn't want to give up.
However, in the entire space, there was nothing else except the echo of her screams.
"Don't waste your energy." You Chengze stopped him.
Chu Li turned around and looked at You Chengze, who was sitting against the wall with a carefree look on his face. She immediately said, "What are you talking about? I'm racking my brains trying to figure out how to get out, and you're just sitting on the ground with my fur in your arms, looking calm."
"Think of a solution quickly. We can't stay here forever. It's such a small environment. If you don't go crazy, I will too." Chu Li continued to add.
Compared to her anxiety, You Cheng seemed even more indifferent. He opened his lips softly and said, "We are underground here. They are above ground and can't hear us."
After hearing this, Chu Li's high spirits were completely extinguished.
She sat down next to You Chengze and asked, "What should we do?"
"wait."
Chu Li: ...
She shouldn't have any expectations of this indifferent man.
Chu Li sighed, looked around again, and suddenly felt that You Chengze was right, so he simply stopped making trouble and stayed quietly by his side.
She had indeed consumed a lot of energy after the ordeal just now, and only now did she realize that she was sweating and panting.
Chu Li didn't care about these things. He wiped the sweat off his face and glanced at the red and swollen wound on You Chengze's face. He asked, "Is your injury okay? Do you need the little doll to treat you?"
You Chengze said nothing, just shook his head.
He is a dull person and very boring.
Chu Li was too lazy to pay attention to him. He sat aside, propped up his head and waited for someone to come.
However, as time passed, Chu Li felt that everything in front of his eyes began to become blurred, and the hands supporting his head began to tremble.
She adjusted her posture and leaned against the wall to try to stay awake, but the slightest movement made her feel the loss of water, the dryness in her throat, and the heat and restlessness all over her body.
Chu Li looked at You Chengze beside him with difficulty.
His condition wasn't good either. Sweat had already soaked his hair and clothes. Having been in the high temperature for so long, his face was even paler than usual.
Several furry creatures staying with the man were in an even worse condition. They huddled together with dull eyes, and some of them were breathing very weakly.
Too hot, too thirsty.
If they keep waiting like this, they will all die.
Chu Li reached for the kettle, but the empty kettle shattered all her hopes.
She was helpless, her thoughts becoming increasingly confused.
The next moment, a slender hand suddenly appeared in front of his eyes with double images.
Chu Li was stunned and looked at the owner of the hand dully.
You Chengze was trying hard to stay upright and talk to himself.
His mouth opened and closed, and Chu Li's head was buzzing. She couldn't hear what the man was saying, but the few words she heard occasionally made her understand.
He handed the kettle to himself and asked himself to drink the water quickly.
Chu Li nodded instinctively and took the kettle.
Feeling half of the sediment in the kettle, a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in her heart.
Without hesitation, she crawled straight towards the furry creatures.
Even though his body was already overdrawn, Chu Li still patiently fed water to several pets.
This repetitive action took more than ten minutes.
By the time the fur balls had almost recovered, there was no water left in the kettle.
Chu Li moved closer to the mouth of the pot and tried to taste a drop. After shaking it for a long time, there was not a drop left.
She suddenly felt her hand holding the kettle twitch, the sky and the earth began to spin, and everything in front of her fell into darkness.
She fell backward weakly.
