XXXIII. Desperate situation
At this moment, the Chi family.
"What? You can't find He Lan anywhere? β
Old Man Chi was stunned, and the grandchild of the Chi family also frowned slightly.
"Someone said just now that it seems that he was drunk, maybe someone helped him down to rest." The butler wiped his sweat, "I'll go and ask what's going on." β
However, while the two were talking, a burst of red light faintly emitted not far away, and they shouted in all directions-
"Look!"
"The West Garden is on fire!"
"Let's put out the fire!"
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of alertness in each other's eyes.
West Park ...... There are underground vaults.
The thing that the Chi family kept on behalf of was there.
It stands to reason that few people know about this matter.
"How dare a real person come and fight that thing?" Old Man Chi snorted coldly, "Call the fire police, and the rest of the people are ready to put out the fire." β
"Block the gate, everyone is only allowed to enter and not leave!"
The housekeeper nodded and began to run over to Zhang Luo, and the alarm went on for a while.
The girl's eyes flashed, and she fell into deep thought.
No, there seems to be something wrong.
The vault had just upgraded its security system a few days ago, so why not take advantage of the gap in the upgrade and drag it out until today's banquet?
Don't......
There was a twinkle in her eyes.
"Grandpa, it seems a little wrong."
"You go to see the West Garden, I'll go find out where He Lan went!"
"I suspect someone is making noise!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Perhaps it was good luck that the two of them followed the sound in the dark and found a pond.
The pool is the size of a basketball court, but it looks clean.
"Endure the pain," Chi Taoyao slowly helped He Lan up, "I'll help you wipe the wound." β
Although the water is not necessarily clean, at this moment, He Lan's back wound is full of mud and wooden thorns, and he can't care about it so much.
Chi Taoyao carefully used the moonlight to clean the wound with her little hands.
With each thorn pulled, the girl couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
All the girls were afraid of the bloody scenes.
But thinking that these wounds were all left to cover her before, Chi Taoyao couldn't help biting her lip and trying to clean it up, while constantly tearing off the hem of her skirt to bandage him.
After a while, fine beads of sweat were already pouring out on his white forehead.
He Lan remained silent until everything was over, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Thank you."
Chi Taoyao looked at the bandage that had been dyed red, and her eyes were a little red.
"I'm sorry...... I ......"
"Now is not the time to worry about this," He Lan shook his head, "Even if it weren't for you, this woman would have come to me sooner or later." β
"Hmmm......"
The girl didn't say anything, but she knew very well in her heart that He Lan was comforting herself.
If he hadn't dragged his feet, with his ability, I'm afraid he would have run away a long time ago.
Chi Taoyao cleaned up He Lan's wounds, slowly helped him to the pipa worm, and discussed ways to get out of trouble.
"You say...... Will the family send someone to save us? β
He Lan was silent.
The other party deliberately sent the paper man as the driver, set a trap step by step to lure himself out, and even cleverly used this little girl.
This operation may not be a temporary uprising.
It's more likely to be a big drama that was arranged in advance.
If this is the case, if there is no chaos on the Chi family's side, it is not normal.
Don't let vague hopes disrupt your current plans.
"Don't get your hopes up, it's up to us for now."
In the dark, Chi Taoyao hummed softly.
Looking at the blood-stained strip of cloth in her hand, she trembled slightly in her heart and slowly spoke.
"Brother He Lan...... I'm sorry for you. β
"Everything is my willfulness, which is why this kind of thing happened."
"When you pass out...... I don't even know, what to do......"
The girl's voice was choked.
Then she cleared her throat.
"I thought you were dead just now, and my heart said you were going to die, so I went to fight with that evil woman. Anyway, I don't have the face to survive, so I have to face my sister and grandfather......"
He Lan on the back of the insect suddenly sighed and said sternly-
"What are you talking about? Did Ollie eat too much and choke? β
"It's normal for you to be impulsive when you're young. But don't just talk about life and death. This is not a bloody idol drama. β
"People don't live for a face - how many people live for shamelessness."
"Live well, if you can't live well, you can live if you can't do it, do you understand?"
The girl laughed out loud when He Lan said.
"Thank you...... I don't know why, it's clear that Brother He Lan is not much older than me, but he feels much more mature than me. β
The girl couldn't go on.
Just carefully bandaged his wounds, feeling the lines of his body, and the faint warmth.
The movements of the girl's hands became gentle, as if touching him was a blasphemy.
The sparse moonlight illuminated the side of his face.
For some reason, Chi Taoyao didn't dare to look up at him.
At this moment, she was obviously in danger, but there was a faint and indescribable warmth in her heart.
It seems that the two of them have been approaching in the dark like this, and it is also a very happy thing to talk.
There was even a strange thought in her heart, and she didn't even notice itβ
It turned out that he was such a funny, so close to perfect person.
Although, he may not be able to get any closer to him for the rest of his life.
If only time could quietly stop at this moment, it would be great.
However, in a moment, something suddenly changed.
He Lan slammed Chi Taoyao aside, flashing the cold light that struck.
"Doo"!
A sharp piece of butterfly paper suddenly slashed into the trunk of a nearby tree.
In the darkness, the woman's laughter slowly soundedβ
"Mr. He, the smell of your blood...... It's really fragrant. β
Not good.
We were discovered!
The two of them were covered in sweat and hair standing on end.
The pipa insect on the ground was so frightened that it quickly moved its limbs, leaving the two of them behind and disappearing into the grass.
I saw the woman slowly come out of the shadows, and countless white paper butterflies surrounded her like resentful spirits.
At this moment, I got closer, and I could see the true face of the woman in front of me.
Pale skin, charming eyes with a hint of murder, slightly exaggerated body curves......
Chi Taoyao couldn't help but cry out.
"So you're a demon ......"
Laugh at!
A piece of paper slashed across it, leaving a trail of blood on her face.
"Shh......h
The woman licked her lips, a smile flashing in her eyes.
"Don't say that word."
"Otherwise, your corpse will be ugly."
He Lan took a deep breath and stood up with his teeth gritted and supported.
"I'll go with you, but let her goβshe's just a silly girl."
The woman smiled and did not speak.
"If you let her go, I'll go with you. Do you understand human language, fat woman? β
"Mr. He Lan, do you think you have bargaining chips with me now?"
He Lan couldn't help laughing, with a hint of contempt in his laughter-
He spread out his palm, and the sharp and hard piece of butterfly paper just now was actually caught between his fingers.
"Chips? Of course. β
Under the surprised gaze of the two, he directly pressed the butterfly piece of paper against his neck.
The sharp blade pierced the skin, slowly oozing blood.
"How? Is that enough? β
The woman was stunned.
She didn't expect He Lan to be so rigid that he dared to threaten herself with his life.
Both of them have clear hearts.
He Lan seems to be really crazy, but he is actually very clear.
As long as this Nizi is allowed to report the news, the woman's face and ability information will be leaked.
As if with an accurate portrait of a wanted criminal, the chances and time for rescuers to track down the other party will also be greatly improved.
The two narrowed their eyes, calculating with each other.
Only Chi Taoyao was even more stunned, only thinking that He Lan was willing to give up his life for himself, his lips trembled for a while, tears fell straight down, and he couldn't speak.
"Haha...... Hahaha. β
The woman suddenly laughed coquettishly, with a playful look in her eyes.
"Mr. He, you are really daring, calculating, and ruthless."
"But...... It's a shame. β
"I'm a professional at all, you don't have to play with me."
"Since you threaten me with your life, I can only ask for your life."
The woman snapped her fingers suddenlyβ
"Hang!"
The pieces of paper on He Lan's fingertips quickly turned into filaments and wrapped around his neck!
No way.
This woman is ruthless enough!
Don't be fooled by yourself?
He Lan didn't expect the other party to have this kind of trick, so he desperately reached out to grab it. Chi Taoyao also tried to help untie the paper rope.
But it didn't work.
The thin thread became tighter and tighter, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground feeling suffocated, convulsing and fainting.
"Please sleep for a while......"
I only felt that my eyes were gradually darkening, and the woman's voice and Chi Taoyao's cry gradually disappeared......
Finally, He Lan lost consciousness.
It's just that it's a mess at the moment, and no one notices.
In the palm of his hand, the "forgetful" ancient seal is glowing slightly......
