Chapter 27
When Xiao Yuncheng walked out of the factory, what came into view was a huge greenhouse. Compared with the one he had in Yunyue before, this one was twenty times larger!
"Captain Xiao...this door has a password." The technical reconnaissance personnel turned their heads and looked at Xiao Yuncheng.
Password? Xiao Yuncheng was stunned. How would they know the password?
No, it's definitely not right. Xiao Yuncheng closed his eyes. If the greenhouse had a password, Wu Tong obviously knew it. He must have given a hint but they haven't found it yet. But where is the hint?
Bracelet! Xiao Yuncheng suddenly realized something. He remembered the irregular knot of the bracelet!
He strode forward and the technical investigators immediately made way. Xiao Yuncheng placed his hand on the combination lock button, paused, and entered three numbers.
bite!
The door is open!
Xiao Yuncheng pushed the door open violently, and raised his guns along with the police behind him: "Police, don't move!"
The scene in the greenhouse stunned them.
Countless sky-blue tea flowers were blooming in the greenhouse, almost the same color as Wu Tong's bracelet. The sky-blue tea flowers reflected a grayish-white light under the sunlight filtering through the glass. Wu Tong was tied to an iron frame and fixed in the center of the flowers, with his head tilted to one side and unconscious. He was wearing a white silk shirt, which made him stand out against the blue all over the ground.
"Five hundred and seventy-six times."
Xu Ze's voice rang out without warning, loudly filling every corner of the greenhouse. His voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was gentle like flowing water.
"After five hundred and seventy-six failures, I finally imprisoned this sky."
He imprisoned the sky in his petals.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuncheng caught a glimpse of a fire. He immediately reacted and shouted at them, "Fire! Help!"
At the command, everyone rushed towards Wu Tong. The flames immediately spread and instantly grew to a person's height. The dancing flames kept hitting Wu Tong's pale face, half of his face was reflected in the sky blue petals, and the other half was swallowed up in the orange-red flames.
Xiao Yuncheng ran faster than anyone else, and it was the fastest he had ever run in his life. He rushed forward, took out his saber, and cut the hemp rope on Wu Tong's wrist. Wu Tong was freed from control and fell directly into Xiao Yuncheng's arms.
"Captain Xiao, Captain Xiao! Come out quickly!"
"Xiao Yuncheng!..."
Lin Chen's final cry was also drowned out by the flames. Xiao Yuncheng looked back, but all he saw was endlessly spreading sparks.
Only then did Xiao Yuncheng realize that they couldn't get out.
"Don't be afraid... I'll take you back." Xiao Yuncheng said in a low voice, not knowing whether he was comforting Wu Tong or comforting himself.
The fire spread so quickly that it soon surrounded Xiao Yuncheng and Wu Tong. Xiao Yuncheng hugged Wu Tong tightly, wrapping his body around him, trying his best to prevent Wu Tong from being exposed too much to the outside world - even if he had to burn, he would burn him first.
Xiao Yuncheng gritted his teeth, tears welling up in his eyes. Because he lowered his head, the tears dripped onto Wu Tong's face. Xiao Yuncheng wiped his face randomly and hugged him tighter.
Miraculously, Wu Tong actually woke up. He opened his eyes in a daze, and Xiao Yuncheng's face came into his sight, making him feel unreal. It was not until he reached out and gently touched Xiao Yuncheng's face that the real touch finally brought him back to reality.
Xiao Yuncheng felt Wu Tong's movement. He opened his eyes and saw Wu Tong smiling at him. Wu Tong opened his mouth, but was choked by the thick smoke. He covered his mouth with one hand and kept coughing.
Xiao Yuncheng hurriedly patted his back, covered Wu Tong's mouth and nose with his other hand, and murmured, "Don't talk, don't talk..."
Only then did Wu Tong realize that they were trapped in a sea of fire. The two of them were only able to avoid being engulfed by the flames by leaning against the only small open space without a bouquet of flowers. However, he found that the flames were constantly tickling Xiao Yuncheng's back - he was tightly wrapped in his arms.
“······Are you crazy?!” Wu Tong shouted with all his might, but did not dare to push him, for fear that he would get burned.
Xiao Yuncheng gently brushed away the strands of hair from his forehead and comforted him, "It's okay, help will be here soon."
But how long could they last in this enclosed greenhouse? Wu Tong's eyes soon became moist. He kept saying "no" and wrapped his arms around Xiao Yuncheng's neck, sobbing softly.
Why? I'd be dead, but why are you still here? Why? ······
But Xiao Yuncheng just kept comforting him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't breathe too fast, you will choke..."
He's almost dead, how could this guy be so calm? Wu Tong thought to himself. He raised his head and met Xiao Yuncheng's eyes. His pupils were sparkling and trembling slightly. He said nothing, but slowly moved forward and pressed his lips against Xiao Yuncheng's.
They kissed in the sea of fire, as if declaring their sovereignty over death.
The blue tea faded in the flames, and the warmth between their lips and teeth burned through the poisonous fog.
They used the hottest temperature to burn all the shackles.
Soon, the sound of water was heard near them. The police came to rescue them!
The two lips separated, Wu Tong raised his hand, and Xiao Yuncheng saw clearly what was in his hand. It was the bracelet beads in his pocket.
Wu Tong choked up and said: "Xiao Yuncheng...if I survive this time..."
“...you have to compensate me with a new one.”
Xiao Yuncheng burst into laughter. He kissed Wu Tong and promised, "Okay, I'll compensate you. I'll give you everything."
"Doctor, doctor! Hurry, save them!"
The not-so-spacious ward was packed with people, and the noisy voices enveloped them. Xiao Yuncheng was covered in dust. He forced himself to open his eyes and turned to look at Wu Tong who was lying beside him. Wu Tong was well protected by him and had basically no injuries on his body. After taking this last look, Xiao Yuncheng finally fell into a deep sleep.
Wu Tong found himself standing in the sky-blue tea greenhouse, with Xu Ze standing behind him. He heard Xu Ze's footsteps approaching him, and then his deep voice forcefully squeezed into his eardrums: "Do you like it? I planted it for you."
No, not for me, Wu Tong thought.
He slowly squatted down and stroked the soft petals with his slender fingers. Xu Ze was very patient, as if he had been waiting for his response.
Wu Tong tore off a petal and pointed it towards the sunlight. The petal was penetrated by the sunlight, with a grayish-white light, but there was no transparency at all.
It is not pure in nature.
Wu Tong held the petal in his hand, and suddenly the petal began to burn. Wu Tong looked at Xu Ze coldly, and threw the fire behind him without hesitation, and it immediately exploded into a raging fire.
The tall tongues of fire kept licking the two people in the center, and flames flickered in Wu Tong's pupils.
You can't trap me, Xu Ze.
You can't trap me because I am free; someone will come to save me because he is my freedom.
"The patient has suffered cardiac arrest! Perform CPR!"
"The patient has a lung infection and is in very bad condition!"
"Quick, quick! Tranquilizer!"
drip-drip-drip-
The machines in the hospital were beeping regularly. Wu Tong slowly opened his eyes and saw the heads of several doctors. Although they were all wearing masks, one could tell from their eyes that they were very worried.
"Hey, the patient is awake! Awake!"
Wu Tong's eyes were blinded by the glaring light in the room. He squinted his eyes uncomfortably, and when he opened them again, he saw Murong Tonghai's kind face.
"Uncle Tonghai..." Wu Tong called Murong Tonghai in a whisper. Murong Tonghai smiled and nodded, responding, "I'm here, kid."
Wu Tong finally regained consciousness. He looked around several times, and Murong Tonghai saw his intention. He smiled and said, "The child in Yuncheng is in a more serious condition than you. He was out of danger just the day before yesterday and is lying next to you."
Wu Tong curled his fingers together slightly after hearing this. He raised his eyes, looked at Murong Tonghai, and said, "Uncle Tonghai, did I...do the right thing?"
After the death of his parents, Wu Tong was forced to participate in drug transportation as a child; he escaped and met Murong Xu, but he also died for him; he has been planning revenge with Xu Ze until now, even though Xu Ze's purpose is no longer pure.
But did he really do the right thing?
How many people died along the way? He knew it all in his heart. When Yun Yue saw Chen Hao's miserable appearance, he thought of Murong Xu and what he had said to him in the firelight.
He couldn't tell right from wrong, and a huge sense of gap instantly filled his mind. Wu Tong covered his chest in pain and began to feel short of breath.
Is it possible that if I die, none of this will happen?
But if I die, who will avenge me? How can he be willing to die like this?
Murong Tonghai noticed something was wrong with Wu Tong. He stepped forward and wrapped his hand with his large, fleshy hand. Both of them felt each other's temperature through their skin. At this moment, only they knew that it was a burning heart.
"I still say the same thing, I have a clear conscience." Murong Tonghai's eyes were firm, and he held Wu Tong's hand tighter.
“Some things are indeed not so easy to solve, but as long as you can maintain your original heart and not be consumed by desire, you will be successful.”
The ward returned to silence, with only the regular "beeping" sound from the bedside instruments. Wu Tong stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, and the back of his hand felt warm - that was the warmth that Murong Tonghai left for him.
Click——
A nurse came in pushing a medical cart and said to Wu Tong gently, "How are you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wu Tong wasn't used to talking to strangers, but he still politely shook his head, indicating to her that he was fine. The nurse still touched his forehead gently, then handed the opened medicine to Wu Tong: "Take the medicine, you will get better soon."
Wu Tong obediently stuffed all the medicine into his mouth and swallowed it with water. He hesitated for a moment, holding the empty glass, before speaking: "That...the policeman who was sent in with me, how is he?"
The nurse took the glass from his hand and replied, "He's doing well and is still resting."
"I want to ask..." Wu Tong looked at the nurse with a pleading look in his eyes: "Can you arrange for me to be admitted to his ward?"
Of course, the kind-hearted nurse couldn't refuse the pretty boy's "coquettishness" and immediately transferred him to Xiao Yuncheng's ward. When the nurse was about to leave, Wu Tong called out softly, "Sister Nurse." The nurse turned around and saw the boy sitting obediently at the head of the bed. He raised his lips to her and said, "Thank you, Sister Nurse."
"No...it's okay!" The nurse held the tray to cover the lower half of her face and ran out excitedly.
Wu Tong looked at her back and smiled helplessly, wondering why she ran away in such a hurry?
