Chapter 15: Wake up
Bai Bingxi seems to have had a long dream.
In her dream, she seemed to be back in the orphanage when she was six years old, and the sky was full of fires, and the fire seemed to burn her whole world, scorching and suffocating.
She seemed to see the face of the demon, the face she would never forget for the rest of her life, in the darkness, the constantly beating flames reflected on his evil face, on the flickering face, the scarlet lips pulled out an insolent smile, like a breathtaking devil from hell, the hoarse and magnetic voice confused people's minds. "See? Your cowardice, your withdrawal, your pitiful fear, have brought them to this point. Your mother, your friends, your companions, they cared for you, loved you, gave you a home, and in the end you were burned alive. It's not me who kills them, it's you, it's you......"
She was grabbed by one of her men, and the demon's fingers kept rubbing against her face, cold fingers like snakes, making her shiver with coldness.
She struggled and yelled at him sharply, "Ah——, why, why, why is this happening?? ”
Suddenly, he pinched her chin viciously, Sen Han's eyes looked directly at her, and the corners of his mouth provoked a dangerous arc: "Why, heh, that has to ask the father who abandoned you and your mother." “
She finally broke free from the man's shackles and rushed into the fire, crying and screaming.
The flames danced on her, burning brighter and brighter, as if to bring her down, to hold her back, to make her succumb, to be consumed and tormented by the fire.
The smoke swept through her nose into her lungs, the suffocating sensation swept her, the irritating and dry particles in her throat made her choke uncontrollably, the fire burned her skin, and the pain spread to her limbs.
No! No...... She can't hurt anyone else because of her, she can't fall, she has to get them out......
She searched eagerly, blankly.
Finally, in the corner, she saw the dean's mother hiding there with the other children in her arms, the stout cantilever in front of her, and the burning cantilever became a wall of fire, locking them into a cramped corner.
As a child, she doesn't have much contact with the outside world, but she can easily explore the emotions expressed by others from their actions. She saw the companions with their obscure eyes open, sobbing and sobbing, silent tears flowing continuously, and she felt their fear of death, their despair for the future.
She didn't know where the courage came from, and anxiously reached out to move the thick log, but she didn't feel the pain in her body, and her mind was full of desperate eyes, as if staring at her, questioning her, scolding her, making her panic, and her mind was blank, and she only knew how to move the piece of wood numbly.
She resented her weakness, resented her incompetence, why she couldn't protect the people she wanted to protect.
She cried and shouted as she moved, but no one responded to her.
Suddenly, as if sensing her helplessness, there was a thunderclap in the gloomy sky, and soon, a sudden rainstorm extinguished the raging fire, and she ran over to check on them. The children were all burned to varying degrees. In the dilapidated courtyard, the ashes after burning formed a black stream of water washed by the rain, constantly flowing, the ground was muddy, and the black-brown smoke rose from Liaoliao, shrouding the broken ruins, looking like a ghost town without people from a distance. She looked at everything around her fixedly, and the scene in front of her was like a boulder that weighed her breathlessly, she sat on the ground weakly, hugged the dean's mother and cried hysterically.
She heard the man's subordinates say to the man: "Third master, this little girl, even God is helping her." The man didn't speak.
Heh, God is helping her? God just can't see it, and he's pitiing her.
The painful memory swept over, and in the dream, she finally couldn't bear the desperate pain, and choked silently, and the transparent tears flowed down like an unstoppable embankment.
As if she didn't want to suffer like that anymore, she tried to force herself to wake up.
Suddenly, a pair of dark and pure eyes suddenly opened, and there were crystal tears in the bottom of the eyes, and the pale face was already full of tears at this time. His eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, as if he was remembering something, and it took a long time for his eyes to move and come back to his senses.
Looking at everything unfamiliar in front of him, he thought for a while, and then turned his gaze to the side, and saw a girl dressed in a maid's costume, looking at her vigilantly and dumbfounded. I still have a drip bottle in my hand, and I am about to change it. Looking at the girl's innocent and harmless face, the vigilance that had risen in her heart slowly let go. He said weakly, "Where is this?" ”
"Oh, this is the sound gate." "It's Gu Shao's territory." Xiao Jing added.
The maids are selected to keep it strictly confidential, and they are not allowed to leak anything about the sound gate. However, it should be okay to tell Miss Bai about Yinmen, the young master has brought her back, and he shouldn't want to hide it from her.
Thinking about it, he glanced at her again, it really scared her just now, the girl who was originally quiet suddenly cried, and the pain on her face made her feel heartache. Suddenly, those eyes opened, and the solemn silence in those eyes made her back cold inexplicably.
Gu Shao is Gu Liangling.
It's just that......
Ying, what is the relationship between Gu Liangling and Ying?
The maid said that this was Gu Shao's territory.
Isn't it-
Gu Liangling is the master of the sound gate??
Thinking of this, a deep meaning flashed in Bai Bingxi's eyes, and it was fleeting.
If this is really the case, Gu Liangling saved himself and took her back to the secret sound gate, what is he going to do?
Bai Bingxi's mind suddenly recalled Gu Liangling's abnormal performance that day in the interrogation room.
The sixth sense told her that it was probably because of this.
But......
There are too many speculations and doubts, accumulated in Bai Bingxi's heart.
Bai Bingxi was very disgusted by this feeling, as if something was about to get out of his control and was about to come out.
If you can't figure it out, you just don't want to.
She remembered that when she was in the interrogation room, she seemed to feel that she was asleep, but her consciousness was indeed extremely clear, and she felt that her body was cold and hot, so she knew that she must have a fever, after all, the wound was not properly treated, it should be inflamed.
Later, she was dizzy and didn't know anything, so according to the current situation, it was Gu Liangling who saved her?
She sat up with her hands on the edge of the bed, looked at Xiao Jing and asked, "How many days have I been here?" “
"Miss Bai, it's been five days." Xiao Jing answered her words while changing the drip bottle.
"Oh."
"Then where did you Gu Shao go?"
"Gu Shao went to the company this morning and hasn't come back yet."
"Well, then it's convenient to contact him, I want to see him."
"Oh, then I'll have to ask Mr. Zhang. You can rest first. “
"Well, thank you."
"No...... You are welcome. Xiao Jing was flattered and said.
Gu Liangling received a call from Jiang Qiao this morning, the company has something to do, and he has to go back to deal with it.
He thought that it shouldn't take too much time to come back after processing.
So I went to the company.
When I arrived at the company, the phone vibrated in the middle of the meeting.
When I picked up the phone, I saw that it was Uncle Zhang's phone.
With a raised hand, he signaled that the meeting would be suspended for ten minutes.
Pick off the wheat pinned to your collar, kick off the stool, and walk outside.
Swipe your hand and answer.
Uncle Zhang's voice came.
"Young master, Miss Bai woke up and said she wanted to see you."
"Wake up ??!"
Gu Liangling forgot to react for a while, half resounded, and came back to her senses.
"Well, I'll be back in a minute." Hold back the joy in your heart and try to answer in a normal voice.
But the corners of his mouth raised a touch of arc.
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Grab your car keys and head out.
It was as if he had forgotten that there was a large table of people in the conference room, waiting for him to preside over the meeting.
While driving from the underground parking lot, Jiangqiao caught up in a hurry.
"Boss!! Boss!! “
Gu Liangling ignored him, got into the car, and started.
A second before the car drove out, Jiang Qiao flashed into the car.
He patted his chest with palpitations, but fortunately he was agile.
The luxury Bentley gallops down the wide road.
It's still working time, and the traffic is not very large.
Gu Liangling drove the car seriously, but in fact, her mind had already run away from the clouds.
Bai Bingxi was fine when he was unconscious, he didn't feel anything.
But when I thought of her waking up, I was inexplicably a little nervous.
The hand holding the steering wheel couldn't help but tighten, and the palm of the hand was damp.
……
Bai Bingxi lay on the bed for a while, and saw that the maid Xiaojing hadn't come back yet, so she should have called Gu Liangling.
I looked up and swept the furnishings in the room, black and white were simple, low-key and noble, clean and bright, but it didn't seem to have a trace of fireworks, it was too cold. This is indeed like Gu Liangling's aesthetic style.
She had been lying in bed for days, and she was so stuffy that she was so soft that she wanted to go outside.
The wound on his body was no longer painful, it should have scabbed, and thinking about it, he sat up, found his shoes and walked out.
The decoration combines Chinese and Western elements, with both French mood and romance, and Chinese neatness and solemnity.
The house is Western-style, with soft goose feather carpets in the hallways and intricately carved brown balustrades. Overlooking the entire living room, the decoration is elegant and luxurious, the crystal clear chandelier, and the priceless famous paintings all show the dignity of the owner.
Outside the courtyard is a luxurious private pool on the left, and on the right is planted with exotic plants, flowers, and a pavilion not far away, surrounded by trees, which is the best summer resort.
The vast open space in the backyard was fenced with various training tools inside, and she guessed that this should be Gu Liangling's personal training ground.
After strolling around the backyard and sitting in the gazebo for ten minutes, a servant hurried over and said that Gu Shao was back.
Bai Bingxi stood up and followed the maid to the residence.
