GBT Chapter 57
by Volare“What the hell,” Xiao Li, his companion, was timid and almost dropped the flashlight. He tensed his body and spat, “Is it a person? It can’t be a corpse, right?”
As soon as he said that, the temperature in the cargo hold seemed to drop a lot.
The two looked at each other, shuddered with goosebumps all over their bodies, and shouted at the top of their lungs.
Before long, the outsider in the cargo hold was dragged to the deck and casually thrown under the dim light of the sky. Everyone watched from a distance.
Except for the old man. He changed his position from time to time, wondering what he was thinking.
“Xiao Li, why did you go to the cargo hold?” he asked.
“It’s foggy, ah, I’ve never seen such a big fog, I felt uneasy, so I pulled Lin Zi out for a walk.” Xiao Li was lighting a cigarette, the wind was strong, and he couldn’t light it for a long time, so he was so angry that he wanted to throw the cigarette into the sea, but he stopped halfway. He didn’t know how long he would be trapped here, and every cigarette smoked was one less, so he had to save them.
“Lin Zi heard the movement first, pulled me back to check the situation in the cargo hold, and then saw a person falling out from behind a dark cargo box.” Xiao Li told the story roughly, still feeling creepy.
When the body fell to the ground, the sound was very loud, as if it had been pushed hard by something, it was really damn weird.
The outsider was not dead, but alive, with his chest rising and falling.
However,
his lips were terribly dry, with many large and small cracks, and some places were oozing blood.
His hair was messy, his eyes were dark, and his face was as white as a ghost. The zipper of his down jacket was pulled to the top, against his pointed chin. His hands, hanging on the deck, were frostbitten, his fingernails were dirty, and his complexion was terrible. It looked like he had been freezing and starving all the time.
Some of the crew members were looking at the outsider’s clothes, guessing how much his down jacket, which was the new style in the magazine, was worth, and what famous brand his shoes were.
“Which young master is this? He has no worries about food and drink and has nothing to do, so he ran away from home and hid in the cargo hold while we weren’t paying attention.”
“A living person, not a small fly or mosquito, how come none of us found him? Can he become invisible or something?” The big man who spoke scanned his colleagues, his eagle eyes looking sharp.
“What do you mean? Do you think one of us took the money and hid him?” Someone who didn’t get along with him retorted on the spot.
“I didn’t say that.” The big man spread his hands.
“What the hell are you being sarcastic about? If you suspect me, just say it! I’m upright and honest! I dare to make a poisonous oath on the spot!” That person may have been misunderstood before and was immediately stimulated.
“A poisonous oath? Who believes that except for children?”
After the big man finished speaking, his collar was grabbed.
The atmosphere on the deck was tense. The other colleagues didn’t try to persuade them, they couldn’t take sides for a while, so they chose to watch.
The old man spoke to smooth things over: “Okay, say a few words less. It’s not the first day everyone has been out to sea, so you wouldn’t know that carrying people on a cargo ship requires burning incense and worshiping.”
The crew members were quiet for a while, then stirred up a commotion.
“Stop talking nonsense, what do we do now? This is a rich man.”
“Who cares about rich people, he’s the one who brought the plague to us, throw him into the sea!”
“He’s still breathing, and he’s not very old, he looks like a high school student, do we really want to throw him?”
“…”
“Whether he brought the plague or not, there’s no evidence.”
“…”
Everyone exchanged glances, then looked away, looked at the sea fog, listened to the sound of the waves, and felt the waves of moisture.
The crew member whose psychological defense line collapsed the most couldn’t stand it when he saw his colleagues like this, and he roared hysterically, “We’ve all been fine when we’ve been out to sea, but this time there was an accident, isn’t it just because of this alien???”
“What are you still hesitating about? The ship has been spinning here for three days! There may be reefs and turbulent currents at any time, and there may be volcanoes at the bottom of the sea! We may die before noon! Even if there’s no possibility, we have to try! Can’t we be kind after we get out?”
“Hurry up!!!” That crew member’s face was crazy, and his eyes were bulging out.
His panic and despair poured out, melted into the air, and continued to erode the minds of others.
Everyone quickly reached an agreement.
The old man was the first to stand up at this time. There was a dagger in the pocket of his thick windbreaker, the handle was hot, stained with sweat, as if it had been held for a long time before being released.
“We were talking so loudly, but the kid didn’t react, I thought he was going to wake up. He probably hasn’t eaten since the day the ship sailed, he won’t survive.”
The old man picked up the young man who was still unconscious and hadn’t woken up.
“Wait!”
A crew member ran over and took off the outsider’s down jacket in a few strokes. He grinned, “My brother is about the same size as him, if I go back, I’ll give this down jacket to my brother as a New Year’s gift.”
Everyone didn’t despise him, their expressions were either astonished or strange.
There was nothing wrong with the outsider’s down jacket except that it was dirty, but how did the sweater inside get torn like that? It looked like it had been cut by a sharp object, and even the base layer inside was torn, vaguely showing pale flesh.
There were also fresh scars on his neck.
Could it be an unloved illegitimate child who ran away after being abused by his stepmother?
A bloody drama of a wealthy family.
Forget it, throw him away.
The thick fog danced wildly with the sea breeze, wrapping around in strands and pieces, separating, and then wrapping around again, presenting a mysterious, beautiful, and eerie picture.
The people on the deck didn’t communicate. This was the first time they had done this. Although sacrificing a living person to the sea was a legend, they had to believe it now. What if it was really so weird, and the ship could leave this strange sea area after the outsider was thrown down?
The old man was old, but his body was not weak, and he threw the person over the railing with one hand.
“Thud–”
A huge splash of water splashed on the sea, that was the sound of death.
Some people prayed to the misty deep sea, some people walked to the cabin in disappointment, as if as long as they retreated quickly, they wouldn’t be involved in this murder, and their conscience wouldn’t be uneasy.
At this moment, a thin, dark crew member suddenly rushed to the railing with his mobile phone: “Quick! Give me the ladder! Hurry!”
Before everyone could react, they saw him drop his mobile phone and jump down.
He was so anxious that he didn’t even take off his coat and shoes.
The uncle who jumped down was a very good swimmer, and his body was strong. The most important thing was that he didn’t procrastinate, and his movements were neat. He held his breath in the cold weather and sank down, found the fallen body, and swam over quickly. He was as flexible as a fish in the water.
Jiao Bai woke up the moment he entered the water, but he had been starving for the past few days, and he had no strength, and his limbs didn’t flap much. He felt that he was really going to die this time.
Dying in the sea, being gnawed by fish.
The small notebook in Jiao Bai’s heart was dissolved by the sea water, and his mind was blank. When he was grabbed and pulled out of the water, his consciousness and body didn’t react.
The uncle half-carried Jiao Bai and climbed back to the ship on the ladder.
“What are you doing?” The old man stopped him.
The other people who had come back to their senses immediately surrounded him. They had already thrown the person away, why did he fish him back up?
Not only the uncle, but even the crew member who had lowered the ladder for him was rejected by everyone.
“Wait, I’ll explain to you later!” The uncle stammered, took Jiao Bai and rushed into the cabin, heading straight for his room, and locked the door.
“Wake up!” The uncle laid the person flat on the ground and did pressing work in a slightly professional manner, “Little brother, wake up! Wake up!”
He pinched the nose of the person on the ground and was about to do artificial respiration when he suddenly met a pair of eyes with several blood streaks.
“Cough…” Jiao Bai coughed weakly.
The uncle woke up in shock. He didn’t immediately say “It’s good that you’re okay” or anything like that, but instead turned on his mobile phone, tugged at his black, weedy eyebrows, looked at something on the mobile phone for a while, and looked at Jiao Bai, moving his gaze back and forth.
Jiao Bai couldn’t get up lying down. Every time he breathed, his chest would hurt. What drowning brought him was not fear, but physiological pain.
Damn it, Qi Zi Zhi knocked him unconscious before pushing him out, so that he couldn’t tell that there were two other people in the cargo hold.
Qi Zi Zhi wouldn’t not know what would happen to him, a suddenly appearing outsider, exposed to a group of panicking crew members, in such a harsh situation hit by natural disasters.
This was to prevent him from speaking before he died.
As expected of a decisive businessman, he calmly responded to the crisis, sacrificing a hostage to protect himself and his newly recognized younger brother. What a good calculation.
Damn ruthless!
Jiao Bai’s cold lips trembled, and he gritted his teeth and spat out a swear word: “Damn.”
He met two curious eyes and closed his mouth.
The uncle squatted down and turned the mobile phone screen towards Jiao Bai: “Is the person on this the one you were?”
Jiao Bai’s eyes were bloodshot, his head was dizzy, and his vision was affected: “Bring it closer.”
The uncle held the mobile phone closer.
The screen almost touched Jiao Bai’s nose.
Jiao Bai glanced at it. It was a photo, a landscape photo, a bit familiar.
There was a figure in the photo.
“It’s too small, I can’t see clearly.” Jiao Bai’s eyes hurt.
The uncle took away the mobile phone, swiped a few times with his fingers, and showed it to Jiao Bai again: “How about now?”
Jiao Bai squinted and looked, and then looked again: “…It’s me.”
Okay, he knew why the scenery in the photo was familiar, it was Lan Mo Mansion.
The photo was the last time he read to Qi Yi Liao before he left.
Qi Yi Liao was not in the picture, only him holding the scriptures and a corner of the front yard.
Jiao Bai was soaked all over, and the torn sweater was tightly attached to the base layer inside. The base layer was attached to the pale skin.
There was a puddle of water under him, wetting the ground, and the area was still expanding.
He moved his legs, water seeped out of his shoes, and his toes were frozen.
And the uncle, who was also wearing wet clothes, was very excited. He was in his thirties, he looked honest, not ugly, had no bad habits, and had never blushed with anyone in his life. He was still a bachelor, and his old mother urged him to marry every year, and his relatives gossiped about him.
But his cousin was shorter than him, skinny, a heavy smoker, and loved to drink, but he bought a house, a car, and married a beautiful wife.
Just because his cousin worked for the Qi family in West City.
His cousin would occasionally take some photos to show off, big hotels, big mansions, private planes, everything.
He used his cousin’s bragging to brag. For this reason, he also set up special attention, fearing that he would miss something.
The uncle stared at the photo on the mobile phone, as if looking at his good life. This photo was posted by his cousin in December, probably only after posting it did he realize that he had photographed someone, and quickly deleted it.
The uncle saved it in time, he just wanted to keep it for bragging, he didn’t expect to find it today.
When the outsider was mentioned on the deck, the uncle didn’t think much about it, he just felt that the child was pitiful and shouldn’t have gotten on the ship.
After looking at it a few more times, the uncle couldn’t take his eyes off it. It wasn’t that his orientation suddenly changed and he took a liking to the child who was almost old enough to be his son, but that he felt that he had seen that face in his album.
His colleagues were arguing, and he was enlarging the photo to compare.
By the time he felt it was a bit similar, the person had already been thrown into the sea, and he jumped down without thinking.
He’s made a fortune.
The uncle rubbed his hands: “I am your savior.”
“Yes.” Jiao Bai’s eyelashes, covered with ice-cold moisture, trembled, “Savior, do you have water to take a bath here? I’m about to die.”
“Yes, yes, yes, there’s water!” The uncle said quickly, “It’s over there, come with me.”
He didn’t forget to urge him with worry: “Hold on, you must hold on!”
Jiao Bai pursed his purple lips, revealing two small tiger teeth, okay, Okay.
When Jiao Bai finished taking a bath, changed into an old cotton coat, and sat on the chair, it was already more than ten minutes later. His hands were shrunk in the sleeves of the fat, faded military coat, and a little bit of ten fingertips were exposed, curled slightly.
How obedient. The uncle issued the emotion of an old father, if he had married early, his children would be able to go to middle school.
“Uncle, thank you for saving my life. My name is Jiao Bai, like the vegetable you eat.” Jiao Bai smiled gratefully and introduced himself.
“Easy to remember.” The uncle chuckled, “My surname is Zhao, everyone calls me Da Gezi.”
Jiao Bai said: “I’ll just call you Uncle Zhao.”
“Eh!” Uncle Zhao pondered, “I saved you because…”
Jiao Bai continued: “I have something to do with the Qi family of Lan Mo Mansion.”
Uncle Zhao choked.
“Achoo——Achoo——” Jiao Bai sneezed continuously, his whole body trembling non-stop. The bath water wasn’t hot enough, and the cold in his body hadn’t been dispelled.
Uncle Zhao left for a while, and when he came back, he brought him a glass bottle filled with hot water: “Hold it.”
Jiao Bai held the glass bottle in his hands and sandwiched it between his legs, the heat flowed through the fabric of his pants and drilled in, surging into his blood vessels bit by bit, and after a while, his whole body came alive.
When Uncle Zhao saw that the child’s condition was much better, he continued the previous topic: “What is your relationship with the Qi family?”
Jiao Bai said vaguely: “I know Chairman Qi.”
Uncle Zhao looked at him with wide eyes: “Are you a child of his relatives?”
Uncle Zhao, who asked this question, didn’t believe it himself.
Although this child was dressed well, he didn’t look like he came from a rich family, he didn’t have that temperament, good or bad.
So Jiao Bai shook his head: “A lover, I lived in Lan Mo Mansion for a while.”
This was what Uncle Zhao thought in his heart, so he believed it without much doubt: “Then do you still have Lan…”
Just mentioning that place makes people feel precious.
“Still in contact.” Jiao Bai said with a smile. Old pervert, I’ll borrow you for a while.
Uncle Zhao couldn’t suppress his excitement, and a dark red color grew on his black skin: “Does the one in the Qi family know you’re missing?”
Jiao Bai took warmth from the glass bottle, moving it to change places after it got hot: “Probably knows.”
“I ran on the ship to hide from him.” Jiao Bai lowered his eyes, “I wanted to go to sea with all my heart, to live in a place he couldn’t find.” Thanks to the bloody comics that accompanied me over the years, I can just come up with an ancient rap.
Uncle Zhao had an expression of “what are you talking about”.
“Every line has its own sadness, Uncle Zhao, I can only say so much, and the others are not convenient, I hope you understand.” Jiao Bai smiled reluctantly. He shook, not because he was disgusted by himself, but because he was burned.
His thighs must be burned red, but when he took the glass bottle out, it was cold again.
This is like his current state.
Do the task, suffer the torment, don’t do it, die.
Uncle Zhao rubbed his mobile phone, the ship lost signal when it was rolled into this sea area, and he couldn’t verify with his cousin, but the person in the photo was Jiao Bai, this couldn’t be faked. Being able to live in that place was enough to prove that the other party’s relationship with the Qi family was not simple.
“Will that person go out to sea to find you?” Uncle Zhao looked straight at Jiao Bai.
Jiao Bai didn’t answer. He logged into his account to look at his friend list, Qi Yi Liao’s activity, although it was rising slowly, didn’t drop and rise repeatedly, but kept going up.
“Will.” Jiao Bai said.
Uncle Zhao didn’t know that when Jiao Bai said that word, he didn’t have more than 50% certainty in his heart. He grabbed the other party’s knee, his eyes filled with tears like he was looking at a relative: “Can you say something nice for me then?”
Jiao Bai expected this development, and he didn’t agree without thinking. He wanted to ask clearly and then consider whether he could help: “Do you want to work for the Qi family?”
“No, no, no, I can’t do it,” Uncle Zhao shook his head and waved his hands quickly, it was too late for him to learn kung fu now.
Uncle Zhao suddenly became shy, he stood up and took a few steps, then sat back down, and said in one breath: “I just want to take a photo with that big shot, put it up at home, and use it as a family heirloom.”
Jiao Bai: “…”
Jiao Bai agreed to this matter. As long as he could go ashore alive and contact Qi Yi Liao, it shouldn’t be difficult to realize the uncle’s wish.
If Qi Yi Liao was unwilling, Jiao Bai would read a few more pages of the book.
If Qi Yi Liao still didn’t agree, then Jiao Bai would…read a few more pages.
The people outside had run out of patience and were smashing the door.
Uncle Zhao was so anxious that he spun around. He had saved the person in a moment of desperation, and he had also talked, and now he had reached the most troublesome step. He didn’t know how to let everyone let Jiao Bai go.
“Just say I’m your son?” Jiao Bai suggested.
Uncle Zhao: “…They know I haven’t even dated.”
Jiao Bai’s nerve endings were relaxed. He felt sleepy after he got warm: “A distant relative’s, a friend’s, whichever?”
“Neither is very good. If it’s someone I know, then why didn’t I stand up sooner, and only jumped down to save you after you fell into the sea?” Uncle Zhao scratched a small hole that had been burned by cigarette ash in front of his cotton coat, and said without thinking, “It would be good if you were a little girl, I could say that we used to be good, and I haven’t seen you for a long time. You don’t know where you found out that I was on this cargo ship, so you secretly came to the ship to see me. I didn’t dare to believe it at once, and then I reacted and hurried down to save you.”
Before Uncle Zhao could close his mouth, he heard the young man say: “Then let’s say that.”
He was dumbfounded.
“…You’re a boy.”
“What does it matter?” Jiao Bai stretched out his arms to pat Uncle Zhao’s shoulder. As expected of a big guy, he’s almost two meters tall. He patted and said, “A real man doesn’t care about such small details.”
This uncle’s idea is good, with enough bloody taste, and Jiao Bai adopted it without saying a word.
Uncle Zhao didn’t really want to use this rhetoric.
“Then this way, you tell your colleagues that you saw me twice in a bar or something before, and you didn’t recognize me for a while, and you couldn’t bear it, so you saved me. If your colleagues question you, you can also improvise, put on an embarrassed and embarrassed look, and say that you actually have that kind of feeling for me.” Jiao Bai shrugged, “Simple and rude.”
Uncle Zhao was stunned.
“Choose one of the two, it’s up to you, I don’t care.” Jiao Bai gave the right to choose to the uncle who went into the sea to save him. Although the other party wasn’t aiming for his life, but the Qi family in his social circle.
Uncle Zhao hesitated for a long time, and he went out to deal with his colleagues, and came back with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
“I used the second saying you said. After we go ashore, you must explain to the Qi family, we’re not like that. Now that everyone has vented, it’s okay.”
Uncle Zhao rubbed his kicked waist, he pulled at the corner of his bleeding mouth at Jiao Bai, made two “hissing” sounds, and comforted: “It’s okay!”
Jiao Bai heard the movement outside, which didn’t sound like what the uncle said was okay.
“You scold me, use the loudest voice, say the ugliest words.” Jiao Bai suddenly said, “Hurry up.”
Uncle Zhao couldn’t turn his head around: “Why should I scold you?”
“If I tell you to scold, just scold, why is there a why.” Jiao Bai was impatient, “You were beaten by your colleagues because of me, you have resentment in your heart, so vent it on me, understand?”
Uncle Zhao seemed to understand.
“I say a sentence, you say a sentence.” Jiao Bai put the glass bottle on his cheek, “Bitch, slut, I’m like this because of you, what are you running for, serve me well, are you sick? What if you’re sick, kneel down!”
Uncle Zhao jumped up in fright, the injury on his body was affected, he was very painful, and his dark face was a little distorted: “No, no, no, I can’t scold!”
He shook his head repeatedly: “I’m not that kind of person, if I scold, everyone won’t believe it.”
Jiao Bai asked: “Have they seen you jump into the sea to save people?”
Uncle Zhao said: “Just now was the first time.”
Jiao Bai asked again: “Do they know you have ideas about boys?”
Uncle Zhao shook his head.
Jiao Bai rolled the glass bottle over his eyelids, sighing comfortably: “Isn’t that it, there’s a first time for everything, don’t waste time. You’re the angriest after being beaten, and you’re easily confused. If you drag it on any longer, it won’t look like it.”
Uncle Zhao was a little shaken: “But I told them, said I had that thing for you, and I still hit you?”
“You can,” Jiao Bai chuckled, “In the name of love.”
Uncle Zhao couldn’t understand. Under Jiao Bai’s urging, he scolded as he said.
The noise outside gradually disappeared.
Uncle Zhao thought it was over, but he didn’t expect that the following scenes were the highlight, and he was in a state of horror throughout the entire process, watching the scene of abuse.
Jiao Bai used several things in the small room to make himself covered in injuries.
Uncle Zhao’s eyes were red, he had been beaten violently by his colleagues, but he hadn’t been as seriously injured as this child, he was so miserable that he couldn’t bear to watch.
“What are you doing?” Uncle Zhao was at a loss.
Jiao Bai changed back into his original clothes, his exposed skin was covered with pinch marks and bruises, his entire face was swollen and unbearable after being slapped by him, and one corner of his eye was broken and bleeding, but he was smiling, his eyes were black and bright: “You’ll know when you go out with me.”
Uncle Zhao took the dying Jiao Bai out of the room, and there were two crew members smoking and arguing in the cabin corridor. When they looked over, the words on their lips disappeared.
Their eyes were full of disbelief.
Under Jiao Bai’s guidance, Zhao Shu brought him to the deck.
Jiao Bai’s down jacket hadn’t been returned, and he was only wearing a tattered wet sweater. The wind made every bone in his body ache. He hunched his back and swayed, as if he would fall at any time. This made people feel that it would be better to fall into the sea and be done with it.
Before long, the other crew members saw the terrible young man.
One of the people who had punched and kicked Zhao Shu, wishing to hang him on the sails, gave a thumbs up in admiration: “Da Gezi, you really hit hard.”
Uncle Zhao was embarrassed to look him in the eye, for fear of revealing his secrets.
The young man’s blurred voice fell into Uncle Zhao’s ears: “In this way, your colleagues know that you saved me, and they also blame and resent me. Their hostility towards you can be reduced a little. Also, they know your ruthless side, and they won’t continue to bully you recklessly. People are bullied when they are kind, but when you are evil, others will be afraid.”
Uncle Zhao was shocked, this child…
Jiao Bai started to vomit after saying what he needed to say, the ship was really damn dizzy.
This injury of his is not only to show the crew members Uncle Zhao’s position, and to try not to let Uncle Zhao be isolated by his colleagues because of saving him, but also has a more important use.
At noon, Jiao Bai ate something in Uncle Zhao’s room and said he wanted to go back to the cargo hold.
Uncle Zhao stopped eating the steamed bun, and he opened his mouth and spat out the crumbs of the steamed bun: “Why are you going back there? Your down jacket hasn’t been returned, why are you taking off your military coat?”
Jiao Bai deceived: “It’s dark in the cargo hold, it makes me feel safe, Uncle Zhao, go there and call me in two hours, I sleep soundly, you be louder, fiercer, otherwise I won’t wake up.”
Before Uncle Zhao could ask any more questions, Jiao Bai left.
At this point, the crew members were all eating, and Jiao Bai returned to the cargo hold without any hindrance.
The old man was inside.
Jiao Bai didn’t go in, he waited outside.
Because of the old man’s arrival, there was a trace of the smell of food in the cargo hold, and he stuffed food in through the door seam, this time more cautiously than in the previous few days.
Just as the old man was about to leave, a hand stretched out from the door seam and grabbed his wrist.
Qi Zi Zhi didn’t know if it was intentional or unintentional, but he put half of his burned face up: “What’s the situation outside?”
“The ship is still spinning!” The old man was frightened and felt a little nauseous.
“That person you took away…” Qi Zi Zhi said hoarsely, “Is he dead?”
“How is that possible, we’re not pirates.” The old man was extremely annoyed. How could so many things be involved in taking a sum of money? Now he also had to guard against the young man who was discovered exposing him.
When the voyage is smooth, hiding people will at most be complained about a few words, and treating to a drink will be enough.
But when the voyage encounters ghosts, then his matter of accepting money to smuggle people is exposed, and it’s over.
The old man originally thought that if the young man was about to wake up, he would stab him to death with a knife before that and throw him into the sea while everyone wasn’t paying attention.
Later, the person didn’t wake up, so he didn’t need to risk taking action, and directly threw the person out of the railing.
But who knew, Da Gezi came out.
Now the old man’s situation was very bad, his wrist was still being grabbed, and the person inside the door obviously still wanted to hear other content, and he put the blame on the cripple: “The person is with Da Gezi, he’s been fucked for a few hours!”
As he spoke, the old man broke free, turned around and left. After turning a corner, he stopped.
Jiao Bai wiped the blood from under his nose and smiled: “Old man, don’t touch your dagger, if I wanted to tell you about hiding people in the cargo hold, I would have said it already.”
The viciousness in the old man’s eyes was withdrawn, and listening to what the young man meant, he wanted to negotiate terms with him.
“Talk later.” Jiao Bai tidied up the blood-stained down jacket collar, and he supported his waist, crossed his trembling legs, and slowly walked past.
The old man looked at some dirty thing and cursed a bad luck in a low voice.
Jiao Bai entered the cargo hold.
He coughed a few times and dragged his feet in.
Qi Zi Zhi was coaxing Li Jue to eat. Hearing the noise, he put down the spoon in his hand.
Li Jue, who was leaning on Qi Zi Zhi’s shoulder, widened his eyes: “It’s Jiao Bai!”
“Jiao Bai is back…he’s back…”
Li Jue staggered up and ran towards the source of the sound, bumping into things from time to time and calling out in pain.
Qi Zi Zhi turned on the flashlight to light the way for him, and followed: “Slow down!”
Li Jue rushed to Jiao Bai, and two lines of tears flowed from his swollen eyes: “How are you? Are you okay?”
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Jiao Bai.
Jiao Bai screamed.
Li Jue froze, and he hurriedly turned back to his elder brother and took a flashlight to shine on him.
Under that beam of light, there was a broken person.
Li Jue thought of a possibility, the mobile phone in his hand fell down, and Qi Zi Zhi caught it from mid-air.
“Big brother, it’s all your fault!” Li Jue cried and beat Qi Zi Zhi, “Why did you push Jiao Bai out? Look at him…look at him!”
“You also said that he would inform on us, and wanted to take me to change places to hide! I said he wouldn’t and you didn’t believe me! If he had informed, wouldn’t we have been discovered long ago?” Li Jue cried out of shape.
Qi Zi Zhi wiped his younger brother’s face with one hand, wiping his tears, and held the mobile phone with the other hand, looking at Jiao Bai from head to toe several times. It was as if he was confirming whether it was true or not.
Jiao Bai coughed out a mouthful of blood.
He deliberately looked up first and then lowered his head, aiming to spit at Qi Zi Zhi.
A drop of light blood splashed on Qi Zi Zhi’s chin, he raised his hand to wipe it off, twisted his fingertips, and there was no undulation in the depths of his hatred-filled eyes.
And Li Jue’s body swayed, and he walked towards Jiao Bai with tears in his eyes, his hands trembling.
Jiao Bai was just touched on the injured area by this person, and he had shadows now, so he immediately cried out: “Don’t touch me!” Stay away from me!
Li Jue’s small face turned pale.
Jiao Bai laughed dryly: “I’m too dirty, don’t touch me.”
Li Jue opened his mouth: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…I misunderstood you, I thought you…I thought you blamed me…Jiao Bai, don’t blame me, please…”
“I don’t blame you.” Jiao Bai’s gaze swept towards Qi Zi Zhi.
The other party was standing behind Li Jue in a protective posture, and there was no trace of guilt in the gaze he cast.
Jiao Bai, except for not being raped, the injuries were all real. He squatted down in a mess and lay on the ground with difficulty, curling up his hands and feet, closing his eyes, and breathing erratically and weakly.
Just hating is not enough, so let’s add some ingredients.
In order to win Qi Zi Zhi, he could even be ruthless to himself.
As for exposing Qi Zi Zhi and Li Jue, that was not possible.
Once that step was reached, Qi Zi Zhi would go crazy, either killing everyone on the ship and perishing together, or committing suicide and falling into the sea.
Why not,
Because the little assistant only replied to him yesterday that his life and death after his friend entered the group were irrelevant, and he had to be alive before entering the group, and death meant failure.
Such important information, if he didn’t ask, the assistant wouldn’t say!
Jiao Bai thought, he really had to hurry up.
Li Jue and Shen Er An were both protagonists who pitted people around them and couldn’t die.
It was hard to say about others, especially Yu Ling, who sold his life to the Cen family. And Qi Yi Liao, who looked elegant and handsome on the outside, and successful and mature, but whose heart was completely dead, and even started to rot, had an extremely distorted misanthropic tendency.
Li Jue covered his mouth and cried for a long time. When he was tired of crying, he fell asleep in his elder brother’s arms.
Qi Zi Zhi took off his coat and spread it on the ground, letting his younger brother lie down lightly, and he limped towards Jiao Bai, and sat down after looking down for a moment, and turned on the flashlight.
Jiao Bai’s mouth made a dream.
“It’s so cold…”
“Don’t hit me…be gentle…please be gentle…help…”
“I was wrong…it hurts so much…I’ll lie down…I’ll lie down myself…don’t come over, don’t come over…ah!”
The thin body suddenly convulsed, and the teeth bit the lower lip, leaving it bloodstained.
Qi Zi Zhi mocked: “Acting for me?”
He grabbed the young man’s wet hair, and his fingertips rubbed against the other party’s forehead, and the temperature he touched was unbearably hot.
