C57 Concomitant Distress

The goat trail, the forest filled with white mist, the white daisies blooming on the hills, the emerald rattan climbing on the wall … Before she could take a good look at the beautiful scenery around her, the scene before her suddenly changed. The scene turned into rolling sand, and the scorching sun rose up into the sky.

Wisps of white smoke that were mixed with hot air rose from the surface of the sand. She raised her hand to cover her eyes as she looked up at the sun. She felt a strong thirst in her throat.

Water... If only there was water now...

Just as she was thinking this, an oasis appeared in front of her, and she ran towards it, overjoyed. Unexpectedly, she lost her balance and threw herself into the sand, using all her strength to crawl to the edge of the water source. His dry throat, which was on the verge of smoking, finally eased a little.

However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the side of the water source to rest, a bubble suddenly appeared on the surface of the water. Immediately afterwards, a corpse floated up from the bottom of the water …

She recognized that face...

"Pei..." No! Don't... "No!" There were more and more corpses floating up to the surface. Among them were Meng Guangwei, Xu Jingda, and the people from the shooting squad. There were also others she didn't recognize — but most of them were people she knew.

As the corpse floated up to the surface of the water, the clear water was dyed blood-red, as if it was truly mixed with fresh blood. Then, the oasis disappeared, and the yellow sand disappeared as well. In the end, only corpses remained on the ground …

"Miss Yin …" Girl, wake up... "Miss Yin …"

"No!" She was frightened by the dream so much that she sat up straight. However, when she saw the straw under her, she immediately remembered the time before she was knocked unconscious. She had no choice but to force herself to calm down.

She looked around her in the moonlight from the single open window, which was almost as high as the beam, and saw that she was not alone in the room. She was only in one corner of the room, and there were at least two people in front of her, because not only was there a snoring sound coming from there, but there was also a pair of malicious eyes, and she could almost see the eyes looking at her.

There were two people on her right. One of them was snoring from a distance away, while the other was very close to her — because when she had stood up, she had subconsciously moved her feet backwards, directly kicking the person's legs.

"Do you still want to drink water?" the man she kicked asked in a low voice, handing her a bowl with only a mouthful of water remaining.

Only now did she recognize that it was Xiao Heng. Shaking her head, she gently pushed the bowl away. "How are you?"

"Those people didn't do anything to me. Are you okay?"

Yun Shu: "I'm fine too."

"Let's rest first. I had some conflict with the other brother who is still awake. It's not good to continue chatting and disturb his rest." As he spoke, Xiao Huan's left hand had already wrapped itself around her shoulder, while his other hand gently pressed her head against his chest.

Yun Shu was flabbergasted for a while before she slightly nodded her head and closed her eyes to rest.

After sleeping for a while, she heard the faint sound of footsteps. Not long later, someone said, "I didn't expect this girl to be so pretty. Last night, laozi was really blind and actually brought you guys some entertainment. "Last night should have been pretty good. I don't know if the four of you have tried this girl before …" She didn't hear what he said after that because a pair of warm hands suddenly covered her ears.

Then she seemed to hear Xiao Heng growl, "Shut up!" Not long after that, Xiao Heng yelled, "Scram!" He could hear that he was slightly angry.

However, Yun Shu's eyelids were really too heavy, and she fell back into deep sleep. By the time Xiao Heng woke her up, it was already bright outside. She could see that they were in a very ordinary room, but there was nothing inside except for some straw and four iron chains embedded in the corners and tied to the feet of these four men.

"Eat." Xiao Heng picked up a bowl of porridge and handed it to her.

"Thank you very much." As soon as Yun Zhui carried the bowl of porridge, she felt that the gaze from last night had shifted to her. She immediately raised her head and followed the gaze.

The man was dressed in white silk clothing and his face was covered in bruises. It was hard to see his original appearance. The man exchanged a glance with her before shifting his gaze to Xiao Heng, who was sitting next to her. He kicked the bowl in Xiao Heng's hands in disgust, and a large portion of the congee immediately spilled out.

As expected, Xiao Heng stood up without the slightest hesitation and took two steps forward, causing the iron chains on his feet to emit "Hua Hua Hua" sounds. Only then did Yunshu notice that she was the only person in the room who wasn't bound by any chains — probably because there weren't enough chains.

"I've already given you a chance last night. If you still don't know what's good for you, then I don't mind punching you in the face a few more times when your mother might not even recognize you." With that, Xiao Heng placed the bowl of porridge on the purplish man's face. The man's brocade robe was immediately ruined by the porridge.

The man couldn't stand being humiliated like this, so he grabbed onto Xiao Heng's collar with one hand. Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, Yun Zhui hurriedly stood up to stop her. However, the white-clothed man glanced at her and laughed. "You aren't thinking of relying on a woman to protect you, are you?"

Xiao Heng raised his hand to signal Yun Shu not to go over: "If this one was truly relying on a woman to protect you, then last night, this one would not have beaten all of your teeth out."

"You …" The man clenched his fist and was about to swing it at Xiao Heng's face. However, the fist was blocked by a young man dressed in blue. "Cousin, that's enough. Last night, you were the one who wanted to take advantage of the girl's unconsciousness and commit immoral acts. You were the one who started it, no wonder this young master retaliated. "It's better for you to hurry back to your own side and sit down. If Aunt finds out about this …"

"What do you mean I want to do something against you? It was clearly the person who kidnapped us and said that this woman is for us to play with? So what if I die on a woman? "

The blue-clothed man turned his head and apologized to Xiao Heng. He then looked at Yun Shu once more before returning his gaze to his brother in front of him. "Anyway, doing that would be wrong."

The man in white was so angry that the veins on his fist were bulging. "I really don't know why Father made me bring such a decent guy along before I could leave."

"Uncle wanted me to follow him because he wanted me to prevent him from causing any trouble." After Xiao Heng left, he pulled the iron chain and pulled the man he called his cousin back into the corner. In order to prevent him from causing more trouble, the blue-clothed man sat outside, trapping the man between him and the wall, just like he did last night.

At this moment, Yun Shu was apologizing for the sadness on Xiao Heng's right face. After hearing their conversation just now, she had a rough guess that the injury on Xiao Heng's face had done something to her.

She apologetically gave the bowl of uneaten congee to Xiao Heng: "I'm not hungry yet."

"It's not like you." When Xiao Heng turned his head to look at her, his eyes were filled with ridicule.

Yun Shu insisted on what she had said before, and only then did Xiao Heng accept the bowl of porridge as if he was admitting defeat. It's better to eat a little than nothing. "

He had just finished speaking when a whistle sounded from another quiet corner. The two of them subconsciously turned their heads to the source of the voice and saw a handsome man in black clothes sitting alone in the corner to their right.

The black clothed man tossed the unchewed bun in his hand to Yun Shu: "This lady, listen to your husband, only after eating can you have the strength to escape from this damned place."

Yun Shu frowned slightly: "Thank you, Young Master, but he is not my husband."

The man in black smiled but didn't say anything. He just went back to the wall and continued chewing the steamed bun in his hand.

On the other hand, Xiao Heng was in a good mood as he gently pinched her hand. He leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice: "My husband only injured his face last night in order to protect my wife. Why don't you consider him your husband today? Your husband's heart really cannot bear this. "

Yunshu: "... Eat your breakfast. " When did she and Xiao Heng become familiar enough to make such a joke?

After eating breakfast, Yun Shu turned his face over and looked at it carefully. "Your face …"

"It's fine. It will be fine sooner or later."

"But will there be any scars? There's no cure for the current situation …" As she spoke till here, Yun Shu suddenly thought of something, stood up, walked to the door, and slammed it a few times, "Hey! Is there anyone outside? I want to look for someone in charge here! "

"What are you screaming at!" "Shut up!" A removable metal plate on the door was pushed open, and a pair of furious eyes immediately appeared before Yun Shu's eyes.

Yun Shu: "I have something important to discuss with the two of you, about the 'money tree'. It would be best to call the one with the scar over. I want to see if I can get my revenge first.

The person outside immediately laughed out loud. "A stinking woman like you still hasn't realized your situation? Do you think you can get our Second Leader to come just because you want to? What are you? " With that, he pulled the metal sheet over and closed it.

Yun Shu immediately raised her hand to block the metal sheet, "It's fine if I don't call you Second Boss, but it's none of my business if that 'money tree' you tied up together with great difficulty flew away. It looked like he was about to make a huge fortune. Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a pity. Do you want to call your Second Leader over? You can think about it for yourself. " After he had finished speaking, he withdrew his hand, turned around, and returned to Xiao Heng's side, where he sat down.

It was only then that she realized that, with the exception of Xiao Heng, the other three all looked at her with shock and puzzlement. But then she knew that Xiao Heng did not express any shock or puzzlement on his face; it was entirely because he had grown up in a strange and unpredictable palace.

The reason she knew was that after she sat down, Xiao Heng immediately lowered his voice and asked her why she was doing this. Thus, she told him about the conversation she had heard between the Sixth Brother and the Second Boss. Xiao Heng nodded in understanding.
