The itch that penetrated deep into his bones made Qin Hang scratch his body non-stop. He scratched his skin until it was broken, and the scars all over his body could not stop the pain.
Qin Hang couldn't bear the pain at all. He collapsed to the ground and rubbed his back frantically, even rubbing large areas of his skin, but it still didn't give any relief.
"Help... Help me... It's so itchy..." Qin Hang was tortured to the point of crying bitterly on the ground. His screams drowned out the moans of the two people next to him.
After about a few minutes, the itchiness slowly faded away. Qin Hang felt as if a century had passed. Finally, the itchiness was covered by the pain. He lay on the ground on his side, staring blankly into the distance, and it took him a long time to recover.
The two people next to him had been in pain for a long time and could roughly bear the pain. They struggled to get up. Hu Lanjia even rushed directly to Qin Hang and pushed him tremblingly.
"Xiaohang, what's wrong with you?" Hu Lanjia didn't expect that as soon as she opened her eyes, she would feel endless pain from being beaten. After fainting from the pain and waking up to recover, she saw her son's miserable condition again.
"Don't worry, you won't die." Qin Lou stood aside and watched them go through all this pain. He originally thought that he would be very happy because he had avenged them, but when all this really happened before his eyes, he felt an unspeakable emptiness in his heart.
"You...you are taking revenge on us!" Qin Peng covered his wounds. He thought that all these injuries were caused by Qin Lou. The little bit of fatherly mentality he had left towards Qin Lou was completely gone.
Qin Lou looked at the way they looked at him, and it was so familiar.
When he came back to claim his mother's belongings, and when the company's funding negotiations failed and it finally collapsed, they were like this too, with vicious and cruel eyes, as if he had done something unforgivable.
But in reality, they are the executioners, aren't they?
Qin Lou was dragging a broken body. There was no good flesh on his body. White bones could be seen in most places. Now only his face could be barely considered normal. He pointed at his body.
"Qin Peng, after seeing this body, do you have anything else to say?"
Qin Peng looked at the body that could give him nightmares if he looked at it for too long, and averted his eyes. "My body and hair are given by my parents. I can do whatever I want with them. If you had been more straightforward and helped my company through the difficulties, we wouldn't have ended up like this."
After saying that, he crawled towards Qin Hang.
Qin Lou looked down at his bloody palm and realized that there was no need to dwell on it anymore. He didn't need a family like this anymore...
"Qin Hang, do you want to know how to stop the itch?"
Suddenly, Qin Lou's temperament became very peaceful, completely different from his previous coldness, and he asked Qin Hang in a gentle tone.
"What...what's going on?" Qin Hang's half-closed eyelids suddenly opened. What did that mean? Would this itch come back?
"Take your whip. When you feel itchy, whip any target and the itch will be curbed. It's your choice."
"Target?" Hu Lanjia suddenly had a bad feeling when she heard this, and saw Qin Lou shift his gaze to them.
"Aren't there two of us here? Just a reminder, the injuries on your bodies were transferred to you when he beat me in the basement. Tell me, will your good son sacrifice you for his own sake? After all, it was only five minutes, it was very quick."
Qin Lou smiled, as if ice had melted, and as gentle as jade. Judging from his face alone, he looked like a handsome young man.
But his words shocked everyone present. Qin Peng and Hu Lanjia moved their lips but couldn't say a word for a long time.
Qin Hang next to him felt the itch in his body coming back. He struggled to get up and picked up a whip. There were plenty of such things in the living room.
"Five... five minutes, Mom and Dad... please help me..."
The familiar sound of a whip rang out again.
"Xiao Hang, please don't do that. It hurts so much for Mommy! Ah!"
Qin Lou turned around and left the chaotic and screaming place, choosing to exit the dream.
[Exit behavior detected. After leaving, do you want to continue the dream punishment? ]
【yes】
…………
The sky brightened and the town welcomed a new day, but today seemed a little different from yesterday.
"Why do I feel not as cold as yesterday?" Someone put on thick clothes and went out, but found that after walking two steps, his back was sweating slightly, and he said to the people around him.
"It's not snowing today, and the sun is shining brightly. According to the normal time, it should be summer now."
Some people also noticed that the biggest difference today was that it didn’t snow.
Not only did it not snow, but it was melting. Puddles of snow appeared at the door from time to time, and some people could easily slip if they were not careful.
After Shi Jiu got up, he also noticed the change in temperature. The temperature, which had originally dropped below minus twenty degrees Celsius, soared to near zero degrees overnight. Although it was still cold, it was a world of difference from before.
She picked out a thin piece of clothing, put on a cotton coat and went out. She was distracted by 001 last night, so she was in a good mood when she went to bed, and there was nothing unusual when she woke up. She breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that he would find out in front of Qin Lou.
When she arrived at the office, she saw Qin Lou, who had arrived earlier, and asked, "How were the guests from City A who came in yesterday?"
Qin Lou also handed her the information he had gathered. "They've adapted quite well. Overall, no one's doing anything tricky. Someone from City A contacted me this morning and said they'd bring some people over to stay for a while and would also take some people back."
Shi Jiu guessed that they were trying to hide the truth, and she had no objection, as long as they didn't cause trouble in her territory.
Qin Lou looked okay today. It seemed that she was really watching from the perspective of an audience member yesterday. Fortunately, she was not discovered.
Feeling that he had avoided an embarrassing situation, Shi Jiu decided to go back and make a big cake later. What flavor should he make?
"Xiao Qin, what flavor of cake do you like?" Shi Jiu pretended to ask casually.
"Boss! Are you going to make a cake? I want to eat mango mille-feuille!" Wang Yue, who happened to be passing by, heard Shi Jiu's words and immediately came forward.
"Mango? This is not bad either." Shi Jiu thought about it. In fact, the durian mille-feuille is also very good, but the smell is relatively strong, which does not seem to suit Xiao Qin's temperament.
"I'm fine with anything. The cakes you make are delicious, boss." Qin Lou affirmed Shi Jiu's craftsmanship, but did not say what flavor of cake he liked.
Shi Jiu found that she couldn't ask any questions, so she finally decided to order one mango and one mango durian! She also likes them very much.
Qin Lou looked at her leaving back and added in his heart.
I like everything you do.
All of them are sweet.
In the evening, the freshly baked cake was placed on the table. The warm orange color looked particularly delicious under the light. Shi Jiu picked up the knife and cut it into several small pieces.
"Come, have some cake!" Shi Jiu handed over a piece of mille-feuille cake, and then he immediately picked up the mango and durian style. While eating, he thought, I'll make a pure durian one next time. The durian produced by the system is so fragrant!
Everyone gathered together to share two large cakes. The scene was very lively. Qin Lou was among them. Looking at Shi Jiu, whose face was filled with joy not far away, he lowered his head and took a bite of the cake.
“So sweet.”
…………
Ever since a group of people were sent out of the shelter, it seems to be a little quieter. There are not many people in the place that is usually bustling in the morning.
Many people came together and went to the front to see if anyone had returned last night, but they were disappointed because the houses were still empty.
"They haven't come back yet. Could something have happened?"
Some people still had concerns. Didn't they already know what was happening outside? Where were there so many houses on the edge of the city to live in, and how could they even set up camp there?
"No, I got up this morning and went to inquire about the news. The gatekeeper said that dozens of people came back last evening, but they all went to live in the accommodation area arranged by the higher-ups." Some people were more alert and found acquaintances to ask.
"Is it really so good outside? Or is it really impossible to live here?" Some people have doubts. Such a situation really makes people wonder.
Naturally, those who wanted to rise up also thought so, and they quietly hid in a secret base to discuss this matter.
"Have you received any news?"
"It's so strange. The original source of the information seems to have been cut off all of a sudden. I can't contact the previous person."
They used to rely on things like materials, money and even people to seduce and win over others.
The effect is quite good, and they get a lot of information in this way, but since yesterday, they have been unable to contact those people.
The person being wooed: Ridiculous. I’ve seen everything outside. Nothing in this small town is not better than what you give us.
So they all tacitly cut off their private contact, fearing that if they got involved with them, they would no longer be qualified to go out.
This kind of punishment is like asking them to take a big meal when they are extremely hungry. Eating it will definitely benefit their bodies and they can have a full meal.
But if they accidentally did something wrong, the meal would be taken away immediately, and they would have to continue to endure the feeling of hunger, which is unbearable for anyone.
"What should we do now? Can we still get this shelter?" Someone thought to himself and said it unconsciously. This sentence made everyone present fall into silence.
In the narrow space, with thick clothes and their breath, the temperature of the space continued to rise until they were sweating profusely.
"Damn it! Why is it so hot? Wasn't it snowing yesterday?"
They put that topic aside for the moment and talked about the current temperature. Not only them, but everyone standing outside noticed the change in temperature.
The ice and snow melted at a rapid speed. The sun hung in the sky, and under the dazzling sunlight, they could hardly open their eyes.
But the warmer weather means they don't have to worry about being frightened while sleeping in the middle of the night, fearing that they might freeze to death inadvertently.
Just as they cheered and took off their thick clothes, running around the streets telling each other that the weather was returning to normal, Li Sui in the office frowned and looked at the thermometer he bought in the small town. The rising temperature was too abnormal.
