It was extremely quiet all around, so quiet that You Mingxu could only hear his own heartbeat.
After a moment's pause, he simply loosened his hands, causing the unconscious Song Lan to fall to the ground. Then he smiled again, looking very silly and innocent, and rushed over!
You Mingxu turned and ran, and when he heard his heavy breathing approaching, he thought bitterly: Did he think that I was a better prey? So he abandoned Song Lan and came to her?
"Don't run!" The man's voice sounded unexpectedly pleasant to the ear, but at this moment it only made You Mingxu feel that he was stupid and bad.
She ignored him and ran at full speed, while quickly observing her surroundings, looking for an opportunity to escape or even fight back.
He was chasing very closely and there was no way to shake him off. Even though he was running so fast, his breathing was even and powerful, without any panic. You used to run often, right?
"Sister...beautiful sister...come with me, I'll carry you..."
You Mingxu's hair went numb after hearing this, Sister! He looks a few years older than her! She yelled angrily, "Dream on!" When she turned around, she saw his somewhat hurt expression, his eyes were wide open and his lips were lightly bitten. You Mingxu cursed in his heart, and then he saw him suddenly smile secretly. You Mingxu's heart sank and he thought to himself, "Oh no!" As expected, he stepped on empty air and fell into a small hole in the ground.
She was unsteady on her feet and was about to fall. A strong hand reached out from behind and hugged me around the waist. She fell into that broad, warm, yet slightly smelly, bloody embrace. You Mingxu was almost going crazy and kicked backwards with his legs raised. But she lost her balance. Although he was stupid, he reacted quickly. He dodged and whispered in her ear again: "Sister...you are not good...hit me...I am going to spank my butt..."
After saying that, he flipped his long arms, held her in his arms and sat down on the spot, pressing her face down on his thighs. You Mingxu had never suffered such humiliation before. He screamed "Ah" and raised his elbow to hit him in the chest. This time he was hit right in the middle of the action. His chest felt painful and he groaned. Then, as if in anger, he slapped down with his big palm, landing heavily on You Mingxu's buttocks.
"Are you still... fierce?" he asked awkwardly.
You Mingxu forced himself to calm down, took several deep breaths, and softened his tone: "I won't be so fierce anymore, just let me go."
But he thought about it and said, "No. My sister beats me, and that bad guy beats me too. My sister is disobedient, so tie her up and she will be obedient."
Upon hearing this, You Mingxu flipped outward, and his movements were quite agile. But he seemed to have expected it. He grabbed her hand and tied it up with a drawstring that he found from somewhere. You Mingxu had his hands tied behind his back, stunned. He was very skilled at this. He raised his hands and tied her ankles. She struggled several times but couldn't get free, so he tied another one around her ankles.
But when he touched her ankles, he was stunned, because the woman's ankles were very thin and white, without any hair, unlike his.
"Sister, you smell so good..." He lowered his head, "I want to smell good too... I smell so bad now!"
His eyes were wide and watery and he looked like he would cry again without saying a word!
You Mingxu was suddenly speechless.
After the person was tied up, he seemed satisfied and let her sit up in a mess, but she couldn't move her hands and feet. He held his chin with one hand and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
You Mingxu glanced behind him, calmed down, and said, "Okay, now your sister can't beat you, are you relieved?"
He nodded vigorously.
You Mingxu asked again: "Who are you? Why are you here?" This was the question she wanted to know most.
However, this question made the man stunned. His plump red lips were slightly open and his eyes were blank for a moment. He whispered slowly, "Who am I... Why am I here..." After a few seconds, he looked up at her: "I want to know too."
You Mingxu stared at him, then asked, "Where is your other sister?"
He pouted his mouth immediately, biting his lower lip with his teeth, and answered in a serious tone: "The third sister is in the woods. I dislike her the least. The sister just now is my second least favorite." He quickly glanced at You Mingxu and whispered: "You dislike her the third most."
You Mingxu: "Oh? If you don't like the third one, then you like it the most. Tell your sister, did you hurt them?"
He nodded, then shook his head and said, "They... they woke up and said I beat them, but I... but I don't remember hitting them..." His expression became confused and anxious, and his black eyelashes trembled. You Mingxu noticed the shadow slowly approaching behind him from the corner of his eye, still staring at his face. Finally, he burst into tears again.
You Mingxu was silent for a moment, then said, "I have a tissue in my pocket, come and take it and wipe your tears."
He stammered and looked up at her timidly, with some dependence and hope in his eyes. You Mingxu pretended he saw nothing and turned his body to the side with his trouser pocket facing him. He stretched out his hand and slowly touched it. The two of them were quite close, so close that You Mingxu could see clearly in his eyes, which were so clear that there was nothing in them.
She was stunned.
Just at this moment.
Gu Tiancheng, who had been lying in ambush for a long time, rushed over and strangled the man's neck with his elbow from behind. You Mingxu was able to clearly see the idiot's expression turn pale and freeze, and he uttered a few words: "Sister... run!"
You Mingxu just looked at them, as if he didn't hear anything at all.
Gu Tiancheng had endured for so long behind that man, just hoping to hit the target with one strike. Fortunately, You Mingxu was smart and made the man relax his guard, providing him with a perfect opportunity for a sneak attack. As the man struggled to breathe, Gu Tiancheng took out a dagger and stabbed it directly into his body.
You Mingxu's eyes suddenly widened. Seeing him pull out the bloody knife and stab the man a second time, You Mingxu cried out in a lost voice: "No! Gu Tiancheng, don't commit a crime!"
Gu Tiancheng paused and turned to look at her. Those eyes, which were usually calm, were now tinged with a bloody light.
In the end, he didn't continue. He gritted his teeth, pushed the man to the ground, and said, "Look what he did to you!"
You Mingxu shouted, "He hasn't hurt me yet! That's enough, Gu Tiancheng! Calm down."
Gu Tiancheng looked at her, dropped the dagger, looked up at the sky, took a few deep breaths, and then squatted down. The man was stabbed and was lying on the ground, curled up in pain, not resisting, but moaning softly. Gu Tiancheng snorted coldly, took out two more drawstrings from the man's pocket, and followed suit to tie up his hands and feet.
Then Gu Tiancheng turned around, his expression calm. The deep night spread behind him, forming an equally silent and boundless background. You Mingxu suddenly realized one thing: he had become the only person left who was free and without any constraints that night.
She looked at him and said nothing.
Gu Tiancheng came over, squatted in front of her, reached out and held her in his arms. You Mingxu suddenly felt uncomfortable and a little self-deprecating. He didn't move, but felt the back of his neck was stiff. She smelled his scent, the same bloody smell as the fool's, as well as a very light scent of perfume and sweat. He seemed to be tired at this moment. He reached out and gently touched her hair and asked her, "Are you scared?"
You Mingxu said: "Don't be afraid. Didn't you promise to take me to a safe place?"
He was silent for a moment and replied, "Yes, I remember." He slowly let go of her and stood up.
You Mingxu slowly raised his head and stared at his face without blinking. It was a very subtle feeling. He just stood up, clapped his hands, and sat down on a broken log lying on the ground, but you felt that something had changed in him. His temperament changed, or maybe it was his demeanor.
Gu Tiancheng sat down, put his arms on his thighs, clasped his fingers, and looked at her. The gaze was hazy, as if covered by a layer of smoke, no longer as clear and direct as before. Then he smiled slowly and said, "Mingxu, look, it's finally quiet. We can talk properly now."
There seemed to be a cloud of white smoke slowly spreading in You Mingxu's mind. The smoke flooded her mind and threatened to bulge into her eyes. She calmed herself down, her tone calm and unchanged, as if she hadn't noticed anything, and asked: "Gu Tiancheng, why don't you let me go? Untie my hands and feet first."
Gu Tiancheng sat still, casually took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked another one. In the smoke and the faint red light, he squinted his eyes and looked at her. In just this one moment, he became like a different person. Contemptuous, malicious, condescending.
"No need." He said, "I like you like this. You are not a very obedient woman, but I like you. You are the best harvest of my journey, and a reward from God. I will not let you go until I die."
