Chapter 480 Born a Bad Seed (10)
"Mom said I stayed in Huailiu Town when I was a child, but I don't remember it anymore. Dad was too busy with work before, so we never went back. Now that Dad has some time, and it happens to be my birthday, Mom decided to go back to Huailiu Town with us and pay our respects to my grandparents."
Bai Yao asked again: "So when will you leave and when will you come back?"
"We'll leave early tomorrow morning and come back in two days." Chu Ye turned his head and glanced at Bai Yao's face, which was so close to him, and said complacently, "Before we made the bet, we didn't agree that the date of the punishment could be postponed, so I'm sorry about asking me to be your servant for three days. Unless you can go back to Huailiu Town with me tomorrow, otherwise, the date I serve you as a servant will end today."
He must have known that he was going to Huailiu Town a long time ago, so when Bai Yao asked him to be her servant for these three days, he didn't remind her.
Sure enough, Bai Yao pursed her lips and showed dissatisfaction.
As long as she was unhappy, Chu Ye felt happy.
Early the next morning, Chu Sheng and Jia Qing took their two sons out. Bai Yao followed his father to get up early to buy vegetables and came back. When passing by the underground garage, he happened to see the Chu family packing things.
Chu Sheng and Jia Qing were carefully carrying a square heavy object wrapped in cloth and putting it into the trunk. When they saw Bai Yu, they greeted him warmly. The two adults stood together and chatted politely.
Bai Yao was holding a bag of snacks in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. When she saw Chu Ye sitting in the car, she took out a bag of strawberry-flavored biscuits from the bag, bent down and handed it through the car window, "Chu Ye, I'll treat you to something!" Chu
Ye was also playing with his mobile phone. Facing the enthusiastic Bai Yao, he glanced at the biscuits in Bai Yao's hand with dignity, "No."
"Chu Ye, do you dislike the things I gave you?" Bai Yao deliberately raised her voice, and the adults who were talking over there immediately looked over.
Chu Ye put down his phone and took the biscuits with a smile on his face, "How could that be? I like the biscuits that classmate Bai Yao gave me."
His hand was too strong, and the phone in Bai Yao's hand fell on the seat.
Bai Yao didn't care. She took out another box of biscuits from the bag and handed it to the boy sitting on the other side, "Chu Zhao, please have some."
Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Bai Yao to notice him. He carefully glanced at his brother who had an uncertain expression. He took the biscuits hesitantly and whispered, "Thank you."
The adults finished their conversation. Chu Sheng smiled and said a few words to Jia Qing and Bai Yao, then got in the car and prepared to leave.
Bai Yao quickly picked up the phone from the seat. She smiled and said, "Chu Ye, Chu Zhao, goodbye."
Chu Zhao whispered, "Goodbye."
Chu Ye frowned unhappily.
Does she like Chu Zhao very much? She always mentions him.
The car quickly left the parking lot and disappeared.
Bai Yu said, "Yao Yao, let's go back."
Bai Yao hurriedly followed. When she entered the house, sat on the sofa, opened the snacks and prepared to continue to swipe the phone, she unexpectedly found that the fingerprint could not unlock it.
She used the key to light up the screen. After seeing that the screen saver of the phone was her own photo, she said "Wow" without any emotional fluctuations.
Similarly, far away on the other side.
Chu Ye's forehead jumped when he found out that the photo on the screen of his mobile phone was a photo of himself taken in a previous exam because he lost a bet.
They had taken the wrong mobile phone, and a mobile phone that could not be unlocked was equivalent to a piece of scrap metal. In fact, they could have asked their parents to make a call, unlock it and let them play with it for a while, but because they all had some secrets, they tacitly gave up this method.
Bai Yao couldn't play with her mobile phone these two days, so she could only watch TV with her parents.
After dinner that day, she sat on the sofa biting an ice cream cone, listening to the host on TV boredly reporting that there would be a magical lunar eclipse in the near future. If they missed this time, they would have to wait for another three years for this astronomical spectacle to appear.
Bai Yu was washing dishes in the kitchen, while Wen Wan was sitting next to Bai Yao and browsing her Moments. She saw a message and suddenly stood up excitedly, "Chu Ye is in trouble!"
Bai Yao paused from biting the ice cream cone and asked, "What happened to him?"
Bai Yu also ran out of the kitchen, "What's going on!"
Wen Wan showed them the Moments she had browsed, "This is a message for help that Jia Qing sent not long ago. Chu Ye has inexplicably disappeared in her hometown!"
Jia Qing was probably very anxious, and the text she posted on her Moments was very messy. She also posted a photo of Chu Ye, asking any friends in her hometown to contact her immediately if they saw the child.
Bai Yao frowned, then threw away the unfinished cone and said to Bai Yu: "Dad, lend me your phone."
In the dense forest at night, there was only the sound of cold wind, and the swaying shadows of trees were like the crazy dance of wild beasts, waiting for the poor people who stepped into the trap.
Chu Ye woke up from his coma and suddenly felt the narrowness. There was darkness in front of his eyes. He couldn't straighten his hands and feet. He could only curl up and stretch out his hands. What he touched was the cold wooden board. His hand went up and he touched the same texture of wood. The small space was full of the smell of rotten wood. He thought of the coffin.
Chu Ye stretched out his hands and pushed the wooden board above him. Because it was nailed tightly, his strength had little effect. Besides the howling of the wind and the crackling of burning wood outside, he also heard footsteps.
"Who is it? Who is outside? Let me out!"
The person outside knocked on the coffin board, and the old voice laughed: "You are still quite energetic. It seems that my skills are still as good as before. Don't struggle. When the fire gets bigger, it will be over soon."
The person outside put him in the coffin. Did he want to burn him?
Chu Ye was used to being domineering and seemed lawless on weekdays, but he was indeed a coward in the face of death. He shouted: "Let me go! I am my father and mother's favorite child! They will give you money! If you kill me... you will get nothing!"
"The favorite child, hehe..." The old voice laughed and did not reply to him.
Chu Ye didn't know how he was caught by the outsiders, nor did he know why the outsiders wanted to burn him to death. The fear of death made him tremble all over. He slapped the wooden board, "Let me out! I don't want to die yet! Dad... Mom..."
His voice also trembled with his body, and there was more crying, "Save me!"
"Dad!"
"Mom!"
"Save me!"
"I don't want to die yet!"
No one responded to his voice. Because of the suffocation, his voice gradually became weak, "Save me... Dad... Mom..."
Suddenly, there was a violent hammering sound outside the wooden board.
After a violent vibration, a crack appeared on the wooden board, and Chu Ye's body shook.
The falling hammer almost brushed past his side face. If there was just a little mistake, the hammer would definitely fall on his face and smash his face.
Bai Yao bent down, her face appeared outside the crack, her big smile was shockingly bright under the firelight, "Are you okay?"
Chu Ye: "Are you trying to smash me to death?"
She blinked and smiled: "Chu Ye, are you crying?"
He said: "No."
The boy's face was pale, his lips were purple due to lack of oxygen, his moist eyes were misty, a tear had already fallen from the corner of his eye, and his slightly trembling eyelashes were also stained with dew. He curled up in the narrow black space, like a glass doll that would break at any time.
"Who are you?" The hunched old man walked into the desolate and dilapidated yard carrying firewood. When he saw Bai Yao, his cloudy eyes flashed with surprise, and then he showed his fierceness. "No matter who you are, since you are here, don't think about leaving. I just happen to have a list of ghost marriages here, and I'm in need of a bride..."
The old man smiled sinisterly. Obviously, he didn't take a little girl who rushed into his territory rashly. The hatchet in his hand was particularly sharp, and there was a lot of black dirt on it, perhaps it was stained with blood.
Chu Ye crawled out of the broken coffin. He was unsteady and fell to the ground. Then he stood up quickly, holding Bai Yao's hand and retreating cautiously.
At the same time, more figures rushed out from behind the shaky door.
The old man was quickly pinned to the ground by two tall men. His hatchet fell to the ground, and he was still shouting, "Let me go!"
The two men said righteously, "Don't move, we are the police!"
Bai Yao popped out from behind Chu Ye, and she smiled at the dirty old man on the ground, "You don't think I'm stupid enough to run here alone, do you?"
Bai Yu and Wen Wan hadn't run for a long time. They were the last to come, and they were holding on to the wall and gasping for breath.
Bai Yu said angrily, "Bai Yao!" Wen Wan
shouted, "What if you run so fast and get into danger!"
Bai Yao shrank back behind Chu Ye to escape the anger of his parents.
Chu Ye stood there for a long time, then he turned around, "How do you know I'm here?"
Bai Yao smiled, "My phone has a location!"
The strange old man must have taken away all the valuables on Chu Ye before putting him in the coffin, but the phone had not been sold yet and was placed in a corner of this area.
Bai Yao found this place based on the location of the phone and asked her parents to call the police. Facts have proved that her decision was right.
Chu Ye still looked a little confused. He always claimed that he knew everything and that all people were dirty pigs and reptiles. This was the first time he looked so stupid.
Bai Yao took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped the dust off his face. Her voice became much softer, "Are you not hurt?"
Chu Ye shook his head and lowered his eyes.
The pair of white shoes on Bai Yao's feet were already covered with mud, and the skin on her calves was scratched by the branches on the mountain road. The hem of the smoky purple cotton and linen skirt she was wearing was also torn.
He was the one who almost died, but she looked even more ferocious now.
Chu Ye raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes randomly. The fire next to him was shining brightly. He looked over and felt that the temperature of the flames seemed to burn the air. He unconsciously took two steps back, and had an instinctive resistance to the burning flames.
Bai Yao was still wondering if he was scared and therefore a little abnormal. Chu Ye reached out his hand and pulled her back a few steps.
His face was mean and his tone was sharp. "You are so close. Do you want to get a few more burns on your stupid face, and then take this opportunity to stand on Xiao Chou's stage and exude the same stupid aura as those ignorant people?"
Bai Yao looked at the fire several meters away. She really couldn't understand how it was dangerous to be so far away from the fire. She raised her eyes and saw that Chu Ye's expression had regained that kind of arrogant and noble. She muttered: "It's true that a dog can't change its eating habits."
Chu Ye: "If I were a dog, I would definitely choose to eat you."
