Chapter 17: The Wolf Cub Awakens

At that time, it was Xiao Xi who pulled him back from half a foot in hell.

It's just that the current situation is not quite the same as that time, because the consciousness is too clear, and it is not the same as the uncomfortable pain that accompanies that in that blur, but it is becoming clearer and clearer, and he can be sure that he is awake. It allowed him to think more clearly, and to feel more clearly the pain that was more abrasive than that experience.

Move, move...

If anyone were here, they would find a thin child lying on the bed, trembling slightly, but the trembling was getting worse.

Sweat gradually seeped from his hair, forehead, and body, slowly soaking the gray cotton clothes of his servant.

I don't know how long he endured it, but he began to gradually get used to the pain of being like a worm drilling around his body.

Get up! Wake up! Xiaoxi is still waiting for you!

He grabbed the edge of the bed suddenly, and the green tendons on his hands bulged.

A breath of white air sprayed on his arm, and the eyelashes were overwhelmed by the heavy beads of sweat, and finally fell into the sore eyes in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, the eyelashes are like the wings of a butterfly stained with water, and it takes some effort to complete the blink movement, and at the same time, what appears in front of me is a faint purple ghost.

Hunched over, panting, Bai Xiaoxin's hand still didn't let go of the edge of the bed.

Just when his head was still dizzy, Bai Xiaoxin clearly heard-

"Goo~"

“......”

Until the ghost disappeared, Bai Xiaoxin lowered his head, and the first thing he saw was the two circles that were clenching his wrists on both hands.

He had heard the blacksmith say that two large circles, hung on his hand, and a small circle of chains in the middle were connected by a small circle, called shackles.

This is something for prisoners.

That woman, is she from the government?

Bai Xiaoxin raised his hanging head and tilted it slightly, and sure enough, there, next to the futon that was twisted by iron chains, there were also two large circles that bit his ankles.

In other words, what has been hindering one's movement are these four big circles.

So, here, is the legendary prison cell of the government?

Bai Xiaoxin's eyes quickly changed from confused and confused to indifferent and vigilant. Without any waves, he looked at everything around him, including the gray cotton clothes that could shake off the rags before him for several streets.

It turns out that the papier-mâché yamen will also distribute clothes to prisoners?

The crumbling old bed, the messy piles of quilts, the dry wood scattered all over the ground, and ...... A basin of water?

Water?

Bai Xiaoxin raised his wrist, but after a long time, a sudden soreness and numbness came from his arm, causing the whole hand to smash uncontrollably on his thigh.

"Hmm......" Bai Xiaoxin was unprepared, and couldn't help but call, only to remember that this hand was dislocated and injured, and for the time being, he couldn't move.

Trembling and holding out his other, uninjured hand, he held his overwhelmed hand to prevent it from falling and re-injuring it, and began to move his feet with great effort.

The movement of the feet is a little easier than lifting the hands, and with the bed as a support, the movement is slow but fruitful.

The messy quilt fell to the ground before Bai Xiaoxin, stained with dust.

"Bang!"

Without controlling his body, he fell to his knees, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Half a step away from the basin of water on the table.

The dust stained Bai Xiaoxin's face, and blood came out of his forehead and the corners of his mouth.

Bai Xiaoxin pursed his lips, a faint sweet and bitter taste poured into his mouth, he looked up at the table, but this perspective did not allow him to see the basin of water, some were just a cloud of white spider silk floating around under the table.

hand, finally protected the ......

The thighs hit the ground first, which only gave the hands some shock.

But the body shook, the head slammed, and the long-lost pain struck again.

The ghost reappears in front of him.

Bai Xiaoxin gritted his teeth, rested one hand forward, and began to exert force, while his legs began to push the ground.

Time passed little by little, and he, who didn't know that the sun was beginning to climb slowly, looked at the table leg that was close at hand, and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time-

"Goo-goo-goo-goo-"

"No matter how you raise it, you will never be able to stand these sufferings......" Bai Xiaoxin muttered to himself, and then put the hand that was not very mobile on the arm that could be used as a lean, and then, the five fingers at the front of that arm grabbed the table leg violently.

When he kicked up again, Bai Xiaoxin's face was already covered with sweat.

Little by little, every time the leg goes up, the whole body will go up a little bit as soon as the hand loosens and grasps.

The palm callus in his hand was scratched little by little because of the old corner thorns on the table.

When the sweat flowed into his eyes again, the embarrassed Bai Xiaoxin blinked his eyes that were constantly stimulated by sweat, looked at the gray porcelain basin that was still a hand away, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Stretched out his hand, probed the porcelain basin, and finally hooked the slightly curved edge of the porcelain basin with his longest middle finger, and slowly dragged the porcelain basin over.

The water was clear, Bai Xiaoxin's iron ring lifted the edge of the porcelain basin, let it tilt, and the corners of his mouth that had frozen blood slowly approached the porcelain basin.

The warm light jumped in from the outside at the right time, the small north window.

The light illuminated Bai Xiaoxin's dark eyes, allowing Bai Xiaoxin to see the water that was constantly flowing in circles, as well as ...... Shadows on the water.

In that shadow, you can vaguely see the high bridge of the nose, the clear eyebrows and eyes, and the thin lips that have lost their blood. The hair was scattered, but it was no longer dirty and dirty, and the cold air in the dark eyes was actually annihilated by the light because of the warm light.

When Bai Xiaoxin was distracted, the water had already gently touched his dry and cracked lips.

Coming back to his senses, he lowered his eyes and swallowed little by little into his throat, not in too much of a hurry.

Water, if it doesn't drink well, can also be problematic.

"Squeak-"

......

Li Han, who had been squatting on the roof for a long time, raised his head and closed his eyes.

Li Yue, not as good as him......

Many children's names slipped through their hearts one by one and were vetoed one by one.

He silently jumped off the roof and pushed the door open.

He watched as he stopped drinking, and his eyes slowly revealed wariness as he looked at him.

"Where's Xiaoxi?"

"Follow me. ”

Li Han then turned around and went out, and when he heard no sound behind him, he turned around—

The two looked at each other again.

Li Han's hands were on his back, and his waist was straight.

Bai Xiaoxin's hands were still resting on the table, and his face was stained with sweat.

One is silent.

One is quiet.

"Where's Xiaoxi?" Bai Xiaoxin's voice was still a little hoarse.

"Madame knows. Li Han said, and then walked away without looking back.

This time, there was a sound of shackles colliding and "rustling" behind him.

Bai Xiaoxin couldn't lift his feet, so he could only use them.

When the boots touched the threshold, Bai Xiaoxin looked down at the threshold, and then looked up at the back of the middle-aged man who was about to disappear.

......
