Chapter 44

It’s so cold!

Zhong Chengyi felt as if he had fallen into darkness, the place was bitingly cold, and there was nothing around.

He wanted to speak out, but found that his throat hurt unbearably, hoarse like rust.

He propped up his somewhat weak body with his hands, tried his best to stand up, and slowly moved to the side, trying to feel where this place was, and stretched out his hand to grope slowly.

here it is. . .a wall.

It came to an end again, which was still a wall.

I think I should be locked up somewhere.

"Ahem!" There was a soft coughing sound from a very dark corner not far away.

Zhong Chengyi's whole body tensed immediately, and his brows frowned.

I only heard the man make a weak voice: "Water...water..."

"mother!"

Zhong Chengyi ran over in a hurry, but it was too dark here, he was knocked down by something, and fell heavily to the ground.

Shen Ying heard the sound, and wanted to move over, but found that she couldn't move, her whole body hurt, especially the chest, which was constricted, and even breathing hurt.

Zhong Chengyi didn't care about the pain, he quickly got up and ran to Shen Ying's side, only when he got close could he barely see his appearance clearly.

The originally clean and beautiful face was covered with scars, and a line of blood was left at the corner of the slightly wrinkled mouth, which hurt Zhong Chengyi's eyes, and choked up, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

Shen Ying's breath was very weak, the man's kick seemed to shatter all internal organs, but facing the crying son, Shen Ying still wanted to give him a smile, but the smile she tried to pull out made Zhong Chengyi more sad.

Shen Ying raised her hand tremblingly, caressing Zhong Chengyi's face as if comforting, and said slowly: "Ah Yi, don't cry."

The temperature in the dungeon was bone-chilling.

Even if the two of them huddled together at night, it would be useless. Zhong Chengyi would wake up from the cold every night, and every time he felt that Shen Ying was sleeping next to him as if he had stopped breathing, and he could only feel it when he got close.

Although someone would deliver food from time to time, most of the food was rotten, and the water was icy.

After holding on like this for a few days, Zhong Chengyi was in a trance, but he still managed to hold on.

But in the end, unable to withstand the severe cold, Shen Ying really couldn't hold it anymore, dragging her broken body, desperately pinching her knuckles in order to bear the pain, took Zhong Chengyi's hand, and said: "Ah Yi, mother is in too much pain, I want to Sleep, mother will go to find your father after she falls asleep, your father's place must be much warmer than here."

"And I miss your father too, and want to tell him that our son has grown up and is very handsome."

While talking, Shen Ying caressed Zhong Chengyi's brows and eyes, wanting to engrave this face deeply in her heart, but she was very reluctant.

Even though he has grown up, he is still a child, still the child who sleeps in his arms at night, but he has to say goodbye after all.

Shen Ying gritted her teeth, swallowed the scorching sourness and discomfort, and continued: "Ayi, mother will be gone in the future, remember to take good care of my brother and aunt."

"Your aunt is not in good health, especially in this spring, she must be getting worse, mother... There is still some money under the pillow of mother."

Looking at Zhong Chengyi's tear-wet face, Shen Ying couldn't bear it anymore, her voice trembled, and her eyes were half closed.

"Remember, you must escape! Those people outside are wolves. One day, even if you don't freeze to death here, you will definitely be beaten to death by them. Mother will no longer be able to protect you."

"After escaping, remember to take good care of yourself. Mother can't watch you get married and have children, but mother... Mother will bless you in heaven."

After Shen Ying finished speaking, her hand slowly fell, and she still had a smile on her face when she was dying. She seemed to see her husband holding her hand with a smile, as if dreaming back to the best time when she was young. .

And heard the joyful baby cry.

But in the end, everything dissipated, and those emotions, whether it was sadness, sorrow, sorrow, or joy, were immersed in darkness, and I couldn't feel anything anymore.

"Mother, mother!" Zhong Chengyi kept shaking Shen Ying's body, but there was no response.

The peach trees outside the dungeon were blooming beautifully and fragrantly. It was obvious that there was vitality everywhere, but it was full of dead silence.

Zhong Chengyi carried Shen Ying through the night.

The next day, people from outside came to deliver food as usual, "Hey, it's time to eat!"

No one answered.

"Is anyone there? They're all dead?" the food delivery man frowned and shouted.

Seeing that there was still no one making any noise, the man was annoyed by someone, thinking that it would be troublesome if this man died in his own hands, so he hurried down to check, but suddenly his eyes darkened and he passed out.

Holding a stone in his hand, Zhong Chengyi panted heavily, looked at the person lying on the ground intently, shook his head, tired and cold for days, his body was in a trance, but in order to get out, he still exerted all his strength, Just a little trembling in the arms.

But time did not allow him to take a rest here, so he quickly carried Shen Ying on his back and walked out.

After waiting in the dark for a long time, the eyes that suddenly came into contact with the sun couldn't open their eyes. I almost fell down in a panic.

After looking around, he found that there was no one outside, so he hurried to a distance.

The heavier and heavier breathing made Zhong Chengyi a little unbearable. Looking back, he found that he had almost seen the house, so he stopped to rest.

Steadily put Shen Ying on the ground, Shen Ying's body was already stiff, but Zhong Chengyi didn't seem to feel it, walked to the river and drank some water, then tore off a piece of clothes on his body and soaked it for Shen Ying. After carefully wiping off the dirt on his face, he walked forward with his back on his back.

Zhong Chengyi remembered that his mother was the most beautiful when she was young, and even after she passed away, Zhong Chengyi wanted her to go clean and beautiful, so he found a flower field and buried Shen Ying.

After Zhong Chengyi kowtowed his head three times, he looked at Tuqiu choked with sobs and said, "Mother, my son has already escaped. Don't worry, I will live well."

"Go to sleep."

At night, Zhong Chengyi sneaked into the village. There were several dead bodies on the originally clean road. Some were children and some were women. They seemed to want to escape from the devil, but they were discovered.

Everyone's face is terrified. Those familiar and unfamiliar faces should have been joyful and laughing, but now these simple people have no one to bury their bodies after death, as if randomly scattered on the ground The dead leaves, don't matter.

This filled Zhong Chengyi with an indescribable feeling of powerlessness and anger.

Not far away, in the familiar home, the lights are brightly lit, but I can no longer feel the slightest warmth. I just want the light to become wider and brighter, and burn into a raging fire, burning all the "money wolves" in the house. Exhausted.

"There, quick! Catch them! Don't let them get away!"

A row of flames reflected in front of my eyes.

Zhong Chengyi knew that someone wanted to escape again, so he hurriedly chased after him. He didn't want anyone else to die.

Lin Xinshu was running vigorously, without stopping for a moment, the sound of chasing after him was getting closer, the sound of gunshots kept whistling past his ears, and the pinna of his ear was scratched by bullets and bleeding, so he couldn't take care of it.

Can't stop, absolutely can't stop!

Mother said to live!To live is to have hope.

"Hmm!" Lin Xinshu's mouth was covered, and his breathing was somewhat difficult.

who is it!

Is it those people?

Am I going to be killed?

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoshu, it's me." Zhong Chengyi's voice rang in his ears.

Lin Xinshu's tears finally broke down. All the strength these days has collapsed in front of his brother.

"Brother Ayi!"

Buried in Zhong Chengyi's arms, Lin Xinshu kept crying, "I thought you were dead, I thought I would never see brother Ayi again."

"Brother Ayi, I'm so scared, I'm so scared that I'm going to die."

Zhong Chengyi kept patting Lin Xinshu's back to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, brother Ayi is always here."

"Brother Ayi, I won't let Xiaoshu die. I will protect Xiaoshu forever."

"Boom!"

The temple door was pushed open abruptly, and Zhong Chengyi instantly covered Lin Xinshu's mouth and buried himself in the darkness.

"Damn! Where did that bastard go!" The man spat on the ground irritably, kicking over the tribute platform in front of him.

The thin and tall subordinate hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Ghost, calm down, this bastard must be nearby, and he can't run far. His mother is still in our hands, so we can definitely catch him."

As soon as the man heard this, he remembered that there was still a woman in his hand. Thinking of Lin Qiuyi's appearance, he felt a little itchy in his heart, and waved someone to bring that woman over.

Lin Qiuyi knelt on the ground without saying a word, the man lifted Lin Qiuyi's chin, stroked it and said, "This skin is quite beautiful, but it's a pity that it's a sick child, but it can be used for my father's enjoyment."

The people on the side were also a little excited when they heard this, and those presumptuous eyes looked at Lin Qiuyi from beginning to end, as if they wanted to strip her naked.

The man looked at a group of wolves and tigers, and drove them out with a wave of his hand. He just wanted to enjoy the beauty of the woman alone.

Zhong Chengyi knew what was going to happen when he saw this, he clenched his fist and wanted to pick up the wooden stick on the side and charged forward.

He didn't want to be stopped by Lin Qiuyi who raised his head. He saw the determination in Lin Qiuyi's eyes, but he didn't want to, but saw Lin Qiuyi bit his tongue, blood dripping from his lips, and it seemed to be opened on the ground. There are plum blossoms.

Zhong Chengyi was startled when he saw this scene, put down the stick in his hand and hid behind, gritted his teeth and silently covered Lin Xinshu's eyes and mouth.

I'm sorry, Xiaoshu, please don't know anything, please don't hate brother.

I'm sorry, it's all my brother's inability.

I am sorry.

There was only a wall, but Lin Xinshu didn't hear anything. He didn't know what was happening outside, but he seemed to feel something. Tears kept flowing from Zhong Chengyi's fingers.

Lin Qiuyi bit his own tongue, clenched his teeth tightly, and made no sound, only despair and misery in his eyes.

She felt that as long as Xinshu lived, anything would be fine.

She doesn't care about this dilapidated body, so she can take it if she wants.

only. .I'm sorry, Xiaoshu, I promised to stay with you all the time, but my mother didn't do it.

Also, mother didn't protect Ah Kuai and brother Ayi well, please don't blame mother.

Xiaoshu must live well. . .

Lin Jinnian. . .

I can't wait for you.
