Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Shocking Secret

It was late at night. In the stone forest of Yunshan, I was lying on the ground, my chest rising and falling violently, and my eyes were blurry, watching the toad crawl towards Liang Ruoyi, who was still leaning on the stone pillar and asleep.

Gu Rui! Gu Rui! You and they hurry up and stand up for me and stop that bastard! I shouted to myself in the bottom of my heart, I was already sweating all over my body, but my body was really useless, first I was slammed into the chest by the toad, knocked away several meters away, and then I was hit in the chest by the iron elbow of the toad, it was so difficult to even catch my breath at the moment, how to stop the toad again?!

However, the toad was also stabbed by me, and his body was already extremely weak, so he stopped after climbing a distance of more than one meter, lying on the ground gasping for breath, and turned his head to look at me: "Heh, hehe! Hey, do you want to know where this eye of mine came from? ”

Eye? My consciousness had begun to blur, and I heard the toad say "eye", and after thinking for a while, I realized that he was talking about the blind eye.

"Do you remember, remember, that night, the girl I gave you a live video of a living person's heart?" The toad laughed a few times as she spoke: "This eye was pulled out of her eye socket alive!" Haha, look at it, hey! Gu Rui, look at it, look at my eyes, don't you feel a little familiar?! Haha......"

Perverted! Damn it! Bastard!

I gritted my teeth and tried to turn my head to look at the toad, took a deep breath, twisted my waist, and rolled myself to the ground, the flashlight on my wrist shining at the toad.

The eye, gray and abrupt, in the light of the flashlight, contrasted sharply with the dark eye that was visible to the other. I seemed to go back to that night through the girl's eyes, and on the screen of my phone, the girl looked at me, her expression changed from anticipation to horror, from horror to despair, and from despair to relief...... I remember very well that that night, the girl's face never showed a trace of resentment towards me, she did not hate me, she knew that I had no time to save her, and she knew that I had done my best to convince the toad, but it was all in vain.

In the fog, I saw the girl again, the girl smiled at me, and then, turning around, grabbed the toad's neck, and pinched it fiercely, the toad let out a scream, and in the girl's madness, died......

"Hey!" The illusion was shattered by the cries of the toad, and I raised my eyelids with some difficulty, and saw that the toad had regained some strength and continued to crawl towards Liang Ruoyi. At this time, he was only two meters away from the ice beauty......

"Won't you have nightmares?" I took another deep breath, put my hands on the ground, and pressed my feet together, and crawled towards the toad, following the example of a toad. The rubble on the ground quickly bleed my hands, but I was so weak that I couldn't feel the pain anymore, I gritted my teeth, and only thought about stopping the toad before it touched Liang Ruoyi!

At this time, the picture must be particularly strange and comical: in the mist-shrouded stone forest, two people are lying on the ground like two worms crawling towards a sleeping woman leaning on a stone pillar......

"Don't think I can't kill you!" When the toad saw me crawling towards him, he stopped his movements and turned his head to stare at me, and said viciously.

I grinned, "Huh! If you said this a few minutes ago, I would have believed it, but now, you can't protect yourself, and you still want to kill me?! ”

After listening to my words, the toad's face changed, and after a few seconds, he fell to the ground in a decadent manner, gasping for breath: "Alas...... I admit it, even if you don't stop me, I don't have the strength to move Liang Ruoyi, I have calculated everything, but I still miscalculated one step after all. If I had acted sooner, or had not been verbosous with you in the first place, I would have recovered by now...... That's it, I admit it, after so many years and so many bad things, God can let me live as a toad to this day, which is already a gift! Lao Tzu is no longer alive, Lao Tzu will die here today! ”

I frowned, and saw that the toad was indeed lying on the ground and had no strength to move again, so I believed it a little, turned my head to look at Liang Ruoyi, and saw that she was still asleep soundly with one movement, and there was still a distance of about half a zhang from the toad.

"Gu Rui, come here, before I die, I will tell you a secret." The toad gasped for a few breaths and said to me with some difficulty.

I grinned bitterly: "Big brother, look at my body, are you still okay?!" ”

"Bastard, it's all wrong!" The toad smacked at me: "I am a brother to your father, how can you call me big brother?!" Come here, this secret is very important to your Gu family, and I don't want others to hear it. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't hear it, just wait for yourself to find out......"

With that, the toad breathed weakly with his mouth open, and in the dim light of the flashlight, I saw the swollen abscesses on his face, spilling blood again—yes, this time it was all red blood, and countless bean-sized abscesses on his whole face cracked one after another, and dark red blood gushed out of it, like small erupting volcanoes......

He was indeed going to die. That's my first thought when I see this. In fact, think about it, although the toad has done all kinds of evil and his sins are unforgivable, at least in his previous actions, he still saved me a few times.

I sighed lightly, these few minutes of rest also gave me a little strength, and I was also curious about the secret that the toad said, so I slowly crawled to the toad's side and asked in a low voice, "Toad, what secret?" ”

There was silence all around, except for the sound of toads and my breathing. The toad slowly turned its head to look at me in the dim light of the flashlight, his face was extremely pale, and the remaining single eye had lost its former color.

He slowly moved his lips: "The secret, the secret is, it's your father......"

The sound became smaller and smaller, I subconsciously leaned forward and listened to it, but suddenly I felt the toad's body move, and before I could react, my head was clamped tightly by the toad's direct outstretched arms!

"Haha!" The toad laughed: "Fool, I'm trying to save up my strength and wait for you to come and die!" Ha ha! ”

"Bastard, bastard—" My neck was pinned down by the clammed toad, and I believe this thing must have poured all the strength of his body into his arms, trying to kill me with the last of his strength!

However, I was really stupid enough to believe the words of such a wicked person!

"Then, you should die first!" I was pinched and couldn't breathe, but luckily I could still get the dagger at my waist, so I used all my strength, and with a little more force, I threw myself into the arms of the toad, and pressed my body against him!

The toad didn't have much strength in the first place, and after being pressed under me, there was no way to turn over, so he could only add the last strength to his arms, and the clamps tightened me!

"Poof!"

At this moment, there was a muffled sound, and the toad's body shook, and with a low roar, the arms that clamped my neck slowly loosened, and after a few seconds, it hung weakly to the side......

"Whew-whew-" The toad in my ear really only has breath out but no breath in now.

I took a deep breath and flipped off him, and when I looked over, I saw that my dagger was stuck in the toad's chest, and the six-inch-long blade was more than halfway in, and blood was gushing out of the wound, and I was already covered in him......

"Heh......" The toad seemed to be looking back, and finally turned to look at me and grinned.

This smile is the purest smile I have ever seen since I met the toad, without a trace of impurities.

"Actually, in fact, none of us owe anyone ......" The toad was already a dying person, and his voice was really weak.

I nodded, but I didn't have the strength to reply.

"Thank you......" The toad still maintained that smile on his face: "I have lived for almost fifty years, and I have not been so relaxed at this moment for many years, many years, and I am out of the sea of suffering...... Ahem, ahem! ”

The toad coughed violently a few times, and I could feel that his life was slowly weakening.

"Medicine, prescription, not in my hands."

Toad's words shocked me, I didn't expect this bastard to lie about such a thing!

"But, I know where!"

The toad's eyes slowly closed, and I couldn't care so much about it, so I hurriedly used the last of my strength to lean over, put my ears close to the toad, and heard the last words coming out of his lips......

After listening to these words, I was stunned, and my heart was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and even my breathing was about to stop!

"Toad, this—Is this true?!"

I was stunned for a long time before I asked in disbelief, but I didn't hear the toad's answer, and when I looked up, I saw that the toad's head was tilted, his eyes were closed, and he was dead......

This man told so many lies in order to get what he wanted, but before he died, he had no reason to lie to me again. If, if the words of the toad are true......

I lay on my back on the cold, damp ground, my whole soul as if it had been sucked away in an instant, and my heart was still in shock after the toad finally said those words.

If it's true, so many years have passed, why doesn't he ......

Thinking about it, two lines of hot tears welled up from my eyes and slid down my cold cheeks, this fleeting warmth, but it made me feel a sense of satisfaction that I hadn't felt in many years, like the man looking at me in front of me......

I don't know how long it took, I couldn't hold it anymore because I was covered in injuries, I turned my head to look at Liang Ruoyi, who was still sleeping, and the toad that had died......
