Chapter 91 When I was a child...
Everyone sat under the eaves outside the restaurant, chatting casually and waiting for the bell to ring.
"Brother, does your leg still hurt?" Lu Bubu lay beside Xie Liang and reached out to pinch Xie Liang's calf.
Xie Liang: "No consciousness."
Lu Bubu increased the strength of his hands, "How about this?"
Xie Liang still shook his head.
"Fuck!" Lu Bubu increased his strength, "I don't believe it, like this-"
Shi Xiaoyin slapped his hand down and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Sister, let's not talk about how I was hit by that ghost car to save you. First, tell me why you were so mean to me."
"You were going to save Wu Tingting and gave me a push along the way, right?"
"Bullshit! Am I such a kind person? If you weren't there, I wouldn't take that risk!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tingting said to Lu Bu with a look of resentment: "It's hard to bear. Doesn't the life of the flowers and grass matter anymore?"
"Uh..." Lu Bubu scratched his head, "How about you listen to my quibbling?"
Xu He had been gone for more than an hour. Logically, he should have arrived at Sister Yang's house, but the bell didn't ring. Xie Liang couldn't help but worry.
Lu Bubu: "Brother, why do you look so miserable? Come on, smile."
"Bubu, Brother He has been gone for more than an hour." Xie Liang said.
Shi Xiaoyin frowned when he heard this: "Logically, they should have arrived. Could something have delayed them along the way?"
Xie Liang became even more worried after hearing this. With Xu He's skills, even if he encountered danger, escaping should not be a problem. Or maybe 606 wasn't Mr. Liu's home? Thinking of this, Xie Liang suddenly remembered that he had always ignored the second floor of the restaurant. They had never been there before.
Xie Liang considered the address and asked Huangmao, "Li Huangmao, what does the second floor of the restaurant look like?"
"It's similar to the first floor, with a few tables and three or four private rooms, but only half the size of the first floor." said the yellow-haired man.
"Only half the size?"
"Yes, I noticed it when I went in with Brother Xu He today."
"Brother? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about the second floor?" Lu Bubu asked.
Xie Liang sighed, "I might have guessed wrong, 606 is not Mr. Liu's home."
Huang Mao's face changed when he heard this: "Brother Xu He hasn't come back yet, how did you know?"
Wu Tingting's face turned pale. "What if it's not there? What should we do..."
"Li Huangmao, are there any signs of daily life on the second floor of the restaurant?" Xie Liang asked.
"I... I didn't pay attention so clearly. My brother Xu He and I sat down in the private room and ordered the food. After that, when Mr. Liu had almost finished eating, we went downstairs to pay the bill." said Huangmao.
"Could the clue still be with Sister Yang?" Shi Xiaoyin asked.
"Aren't they lovers? Doesn't that place count as Mr. Liu's home?" Wu Tingting asked.
"They must have broken up. There is nothing of Mr. Liu's in that house." Huangmao said.
Lu Bubu: "Damn it! That crazy woman killed so many kids, how could a man stand her?"
Xie Liang pondered for a moment: "She didn't kill him."
"I also think that she didn't kill them. She must care about those children very much, otherwise she wouldn't have left them in the house." Shi Xiaoyin said.
"Judging from the photos, it can be inferred that Sister Yang and Mr. Liu once had a child, at least one. I don't know why the child was lost. Perhaps the ones in the potted plants are all their children." Xie Liang said.
Shi Xiaoyin nodded: "Maybe those are their children. Due to genetics or other reasons, these children can't grow up and die around one year old."
"Then they probably broke up because of the child," Wu Tingting said.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Lu Bubu yelled, "My waist hurts so much, I don't know if I can still be happy. Sister, you have to take responsibility."
"Go to hell!" Shi Xiaoyin said as he punched the injured Lu Bubu on the waist. Lu Bubu screamed in pain.
"Who still has money?" Xie Liang asked.
Everyone shook their heads, "No more."
"We can only wait for Brother He to come back and take a gamble." Xie Liang said.
"How do you bet?" Lu Bu asked.
"I won't tell you yet, so that you won't despair too quickly." Xie Liang said.
After hearing this, several people sighed and no one spoke anymore. The atmosphere became quiet.
More than an hour later, Xu He came back dragging Mr. Liu's unrecognizable body, with blood splattered all over his body.
Xie Liang shouted at him from a distance: "Brother He! Are you hurt?"
Xu He released the hand that was holding Mr. Liu's wrist and walked quickly towards Xie Liang.
After he came closer and squatted down, Xie Liang hurriedly checked him.
Xu He grabbed Xie Liang's hand that was groping him and said softly, "I'm fine."
"What's the blood on your body..." Xie Liang asked.
"That woman's." Xu He sat down next to Xie Liang, "I want to try the restaurant."
"But I have no money! What should I do? I can't go in without ordering food." said the yellow-haired man.
"I won't order you to do it. Let me do it. I can run fast anyway." Lu Bu said.
Xie Liang: "No need to go in, just stand at the door and throw Mr. Liu in."
It was already afternoon, and except for Huangmao, everyone was basically hungry, thirsty and tired.
Xu He dragged Mr. Liu's body to the door of the restaurant. He carried Mr. Liu on his shoulders like lifting a weight and rushed towards the restaurant with a running start.
After running to the door, he threw Mr. Liu's body towards the restaurant door with both hands like shooting a basketball.
When the sound of the landing sounded in the restaurant...
“Bang—”
The bells for going home rang at the same time.
The vortex gate slowly appeared in the open space outside the restaurant.
Huangmao and Wu Tingting ran towards the vortex gate excitedly.
Lu Bubu shouted at them, "Damn it! Don't run! Carry me over here!"
The two men turned a deaf ear and walked into the door one after another.
Shi Xiaoyin had no choice but to help up Lu Bubu, who was screaming in pain, and walked towards the vortex gate with the tall Lu Bubu with difficulty.
Xu He came back and carefully carried Xie Liang on his back, and walked towards the vortex gate with them.
At this moment, Su Yubai suddenly appeared...
He appeared in an open space not far from Xie Liang, holding the black dagger in his hand.
Su Yubai walked up to Xu He with a bad look on his face and stabbed the dagger towards Xu He's heart in anger.
Xu He hurriedly took a few steps back with Xie Liang on his back.
Xie Liang hurriedly shouted: "Su Yubai!"
Su Yubai was stunned for a moment: "Because of him, you don't even call me brother anymore?"
"Don't hurt him."
Su Yubai's eyes turned red when he heard this. He held the dagger and stabbed at Xu He with an expression of rage, each move aimed at Xu He's vital points.
Xu He was carrying Xie Liangteng on his back and could not attack, so he kept dodging. His abdomen and legs were scratched several times by Su Yubai's dagger.
"Brother He!" Xie Liang shouted anxiously, "Put me down quickly."
Su Yubai's face was hurt when he heard this, and he stopped what he was doing: "Xiaoliang, don't you worry about me at all?"
Xu He just kept dodging with his back to him and didn't attack him at all. Xie Liang really wanted to say, "I'm not worried about you at all."
Xie Liang was so anxious that he didn't know what to say for a moment: "Don't fight, listen to me."
"Xiaoliang, tell me, he is not." Su Yubai said stubbornly.
At this moment, Lu Bubu's pig-killing scream came from the vortex gate, "Ahhhh! Sister! It hurts, it hurts--"
When Xie Liang looked over, Lu Bubu just walked in.
Shi Xiaoyin probably saw that they had started fighting, so she didn't care whether Lu Bubu was in pain or not, and pushed him into the door rudely.
After Lu Bubu entered the room, Shi Xiaoyin drew out his whip and ran towards Xie Liang.
"Brother He, let me carry Xie Liang into the house." Shi Xiaoyin said.
Xu He carried Xie Liang on his back and looked at Su Yubai who was confronting him with a gloomy look.
"Brother He, put me down quickly." Xie Liang said to Su Yubai, "Stop fighting and listen to me, okay?"
Su Yubai's face was pale and his eyes were red: "Tell me, what did you promise me?"
Just as Xie Liang was about to speak, he heard Xu He say in a deep voice, "I am Xu He, Xie Liang's lover."
"You are at most a mistress. If you want to die, I will give you a ride!" Su Yubai said as he attacked Xu He.
Seeing this, Shi Xiaoyin hurriedly shouted at him, "Wait! Aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting Xie Liang? If you want to fight, you have to wait until he puts Xie Liang down first."
Su Yubai stopped when he heard this, as if he really listened to her words.
Xie Liang hurriedly said, "No, no, no, don't fight! Stop fighting, sit down and listen to my explanation!"
"What's there to explain? Isn't he your old lover?" Shi Xiaoyin said.
Xie Liang: ...
Xie Liang's heart was filled with anxiety: "Miss Xiaoyin, is it appropriate for you to say this at this time? And you are obviously talking nonsense..."
Just after Shi Xiaoyin finished speaking, Xu He put Xie Liang down carefully without saying a word and helped him to lie on Shi Xiaoyin's hunched back.
Xie Liang: "Brother He...I..."
Xu He didn't respond, but whispered to Shi Xiaoyin, "Bring him in."
"Don't worry." Shi Xiaoyin said and carried Xie Liang towards the door.
"Brother He, you--" Xie Liang was interrupted by Su Yubai before he could finish his words.
"Where are you hurt?" Su Yubai walked towards Xie Liang holding a dagger.
Before he got close, Xu He had already taken out the black sword and slashed at him.
The two men started fighting again.
"Don't fight!" Xie Liang was so anxious, he turned around and around, "Miss Xiaoyin, I can't leave, put me down quickly."
"If you don't leave, Brother He can't leave either. Don't worry, Brother He is fine." Shi Xiaoyin said.
"They can't fight."
"Could it be that you like that NPC?"
Xie Liang: ...
Seeing that the two were about to reach the vortex gate, Xie Liang hurriedly turned around and shouted to Su and Xu who were fighting: "Stop fighting, you..."
Before Xie Liang could finish his words, Shi Xiaoyin threw him into the vortex gate.
The man Xie Liang called Su Yubai had a hostile look on his face and kept attacking Xu He with a dagger in his hand.
"Let's settle the accounts." Su Yubai said.
Xu He didn't want to fight him. He retreated repeatedly, using his black sword to block the dagger he swung at him: "You are not from his world."
Su Yubai asked provocatively: "Do you know that you are a mistress?"
Xu He's patience, which he had tried so hard to hold back, suddenly broke out at this moment, and he sneered, "You're looking for death."
When Xie Liang came back, he was still lying on the sofa, and Xu He beside him was still asleep. He picked up the phone beside him and saw that three days had passed in the real world.
Not knowing what happened to Su Yubai and Xu He, and whether the two were still fighting, Xie Liang began to worry again.
He tried to stand up, but found that his legs still had no strength.
Xie Liang pounded his waist and found that the pain was not obvious. On the contrary, he had no feeling at all.
Is he going to be paralyzed? The more Xie Liang thought about it, the more horrible he felt. He pinched his waist hard, and the more he pinched, the colder his heart became.
After a while, he finally gave up and lay on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, waiting for Xu He to wake up.
Half an hour later, Xu He woke up with a muffled groan. He covered his abdomen with his hands, and blood was oozing out from between his fingers.
Xie Liang quickly put down his phone and gently lifted Xu He's clothes with both hands.
There was a two-finger-wide wound near the belly button on Xu He's abdomen with distinct abdominal muscles.
With just one glance, Xie Liang knew that the wound was caused by Su Yubai's black dagger: "Su Yubai——"
"I didn't touch him." Xu He said.
Xie Liang looked confused and didn't know what Xu He meant for a moment.
Xu He added, "I listened to you and didn't touch him."
Xie Liang said distressedly: "I feel sorry for you!"
Xu He didn't say anything else, with a look of sadness between his brows.
Xie Liang hurriedly picked up his phone to call an ambulance, but Xu He reached out to stop him.
"I don't know if his internal organs are injured. Let's treat the wound first." Xie Liang said.
Xu He looked at Xie Liang and said seriously, "Even if she's my mistress, I'm willing to do it."
It turned out that Xu He had listened to all of Su Yubai's nonsense. No wonder he looked so sad.
Xie Liang said gently: "Call an ambulance first, okay? I'll explain to you right away after that."
Hearing this, Xu He stood up, covering his wound, picked up his cell phone on the coffee table, sent a text message, and then lay back down on the sofa.
Looking at Xu He's lonely expression, Xie Liang felt distressed.
He knew that Xu He was waiting for his explanation.
"Well, here's the thing. When I was a kid..."
Xie Liang started talking a lot. He briefly told Xu He everything from the time he met Su Yubai to the time Su Yubai died.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
