Chapter 420 I'm Not a Human
"Aunt!"
Zhu Chuideng finally couldn't hold on any longer and took Ye Xiaoman's hand away.
His body temperature was so high that it almost sparked sparks. Sweat soaked his black hair, and veins on his forehead were bulging from his endurance.
Ye Xiaoman stopped, looked at him innocently and said, "I checked and there seems to be no other external injuries. I am finally relieved."
Zhu Chuideng didn't dare to look at her face, like a person who fell into a quagmire and huddled in a corner, afraid of staining the people on the shore.
He hastily pulled up his collar with some force, and as a form of self-punishment, he used the hem to cover his lower hips.
He looked dejected and pitiful.
His strength was obviously far superior to hers, yet he seemed to be forced into a desperate situation by her.
"You must not be so touchy-feely to other men in the future," he said, his voice becoming unfamiliar and dark.
"Oh," Ye Xiaoman said after having satisfied her desire, "It's dark and cold, I can sleep with you..."
Zhu Chuideng felt as if he was hit on the head and suddenly raised his drooping head.
Ye Xiaoman finished her sentence: "Next door? By the way, can I put my hands on your abdominal muscles to warm them up?"
The two looked at each other in silence for a while.
Zhu Chuideng fell into self-loathing again.
Her expression was very innocent, and there was no trace of evil in her eyes as she looked at him. She even showed a hint of doubt in her honest eyes because of his startled reaction.
I am such a scumbag.
She seemed completely defenseless against me.
What happened to me tonight?
Zhu Chuideng shook his head, trying to get rid of the strange and inexplicable thoughts in his head.
He made room on his side and said, "Aunt, please bear with me for one night. I will take you out when the sun comes up."
Soon, Ye Xiaoman, wearing a warm cotton coat, moved from opposite him to sitting beside him.
The drizzle gradually stopped, and Zhu Chuideng felt a weight on his shoulder. Ye Xiaoman leaned her head on his shoulder, and her warm breath sprayed on his neck.
Zhu Chuideng didn't turn his head or push her away. He looked at his right hand resting on his leg, clenching and opening his fist, opening and clenching again, as if his willpower would go off track without the reins tightened, repeating this all night long.
No sleep all night.
Ye Xiaoman was in her dream when she heard the sharp sound of a bone flute echoing in circles in the jungle. She opened her sleepy eyes and moved her head away from Zhu Chuideng's shoulder. It was already early morning of the next day.
"What's wrong?"
When her body temperature left, Zhu Chuideng felt his arms were empty.
"It's the village's contact information." He listened attentively to the flute's rhythm, which sometimes went up and sometimes down. After deciphering the message, joy crept onto his brows. "Everyone is alive."
He took out the bone flute and played a piece in reply. Soon, the flute sound that had been used to search for someone answered, like the cheerful chirping of an oriole.
Ye Xiaoman and Zhu Chuideng stood at the bottom of the pit waiting. After about a cup of tea, the farmers who were lost yesterday gathered at the same place.
A few gray-faced heads looked at them from above the pit with the joy of surviving the disaster.
"Brother Deng!"
Listening to their excited conversation, Ye Xiaoman roughly understood that it was because Zhu Chuideng fought with the Taotie beast and interrupted the Taotie beast's illusionary control over the farmers that everyone was able to escape the disaster.
After the farmers woke up, they found that they were standing in front of the monster's lair. There were a lot of bones piled outside the lair. They found many personal belongings of the missing people among the bones and identified the real culprit who had been plaguing the village for half a year.
They made a mark and planned to mobilize the entire village to encircle and suppress the monster after returning.
Zhu Chuideng said, "Go home first and make a long-term plan."
The farmers planned to use the vine ropes that Zhuchuideng had laid out yesterday to pull the two men up.
It was originally agreed that Ye Xiaoman would be the first to go up, and Zhu Chuideng would support her from below.
Zhu Chuideng suddenly thought of something and changed his mind, "I'll go up first."
He grabbed the rope with one hand, climbed up the wall, and with the help of his companions, he quickly climbed up.
Ye Xiaoman was then dragged into the pit.
Kong Erxiao, who was the main force pulling the rope, didn't think much about it and wanted to pull Ye Xiaoman's hand to pull her to the edge.
Suddenly, he was pushed away by Zhu Chuideng.
Ye Xiaoman's arms were around Zhu Chuideng's neck just like yesterday.
While Zhu Chuideng was in a state of confusion, Ye Xiaoman landed on the ground and was successfully rescued.
