Chapter 58: Man-Eating Monster (7)
I only have you now......
A few simple words, but it made Chu Duan's heart tighten again-Chu Duan would probably never have thought that Fu Chu would say such a thing to him.
A feeling of being needed made Chu Duan's heart ripple with layers.
This is the first time I have felt this way.
Chu Duan looked at Fu Chu, and a complicated look appeared in his clear eyes.
Fu Chu's grip was not very tight, soft, gentle, as long as Chu Duan twitched his hand slightly, he could shake off Fu Chu.
But Chu Duan didn't do that.
Fu Chu seemed to feel that Chu Duan was standing there without moving, so he unconsciously tightened the hand holding Chu Duan: "Don't go ......"
The soft voice, like a feather, seemed to caress Chu Duan's heart as if it were nothing.
Chu Duan looked at Fu Chu, and after a while, he finally returned to the edge of the bed, and his thin lips opened lightly: "Okay." β
......
Early in the morning, Fu Chu, who had just woken up from his sleep, looked at Chu Dui, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and was asleep, and looked at his hand lying on the bed holding Chu Dui's hand, and he didn't ease up for a long time.
Fu Chu was stunned for a moment before he suddenly sat up from the bed.
This is a familiar picture...... It seems that once before, she also hugged Chu Duan and slept all night......
Chu Duan seemed to feel Fu Chu's movement, and as soon as Fu Chu sat up from the bed, Chu Duan's closed eyes slowly opened.
At this moment, Chu Duan's clear eyes seemed to have a trace of melancholy in them.
After his gaze stayed on Fu Chu's body for a moment, a deep voice slowly sounded: "Awake?"
"......" Fu Chu looked at Chu Duan in a daze, and she was stunned for a moment before nodding stiffly.
The four eyes met, and in the next second, a light smile appeared in Chu Duan's eyes, and he didn't say anything, he just got up slowly, and his eyes stayed on Fu Chu's body for a few seconds before he turned around: "I'll go find Uncle Qi Ze first." β
......
When the group got together again, they had already left the inn.
The weather outside was nice, sunny and warm.
It didn't take long for them to come to the pawnshop where they exchanged buns for silver taels yesterday.
This pawnshop is very interesting, as if it is a connecting point, connecting everyone's original world with the world. After the outsiders changed into silver taels in this shop, they could start their new life in this world.
So, Fu Chu and they came to this pawnshop again - they wanted to see if there would be any new developments, and in their opinion, this pawnshop might be a key to their escape from this world.
The pawnshop was very quiet, and after Fu Chu and the others walked into the pawnshop one after another, Xiao Er, who was sitting in the back, subconsciously raised his head and glanced towards the door.
However, after Xiao Er found out that it was them who came in, he seemed to be a little disappointed, he lowered his eyes again, and muttered casually: "Why are you ...... again?"
Xiao Er's voice was silent, but they still heard it.
After finishing speaking, Chu Qize's voice rang out: "What's the matter?"
"Is there something to pawn?" Xiao Er continued, not even looking at them.
After Xiao Er finished speaking, the air fell into a deep silence.
Fu Chu and they glanced around, and there didn't seem to be anything in the pawnshop, it was empty, and there were no customers.
"Your business here is so light?" Chu Duan didn't give a direct reply, but continued to ask, as if casually mentioning it.
"This pawnshop has never been crowded. Xiao Er responded to Chu Duan's words, and his casual tone seemed to be a normal thing if there were no customers in the pawnshop.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Xiao Er couldn't help but look up at them, and it didn't take long for him to finally speak again, as if he couldn't hold back something, and finally spoke again: "There aren't many customers in this pawnshop, only one or two a day, basically like you ...... yesterday."
Xiao Er couldn't help but stop as he spoke, and then seemed to suddenly remember something: "It's strange to sayβit seems that after you left, there were no new guests." β
"......?" Xiao Er's words were really a little strange, which made Chu Duan and them stunned for a moment.
If it is said that everyone who is new to this world will come to this pawnshop to exchange things, then doesn't that mean ...... No one has been caught since yesterday?
"But that's fine, leisurely, another day. Seeing that Chu Duan didn't say anything, Xiao Er continued to speak.
Fu Chu's gaze stayed on Xiao Er's body, looking at him like that, as if he was just a hand-starter: "How long have you been here?"
"Who remembers this?" Xiao Er didn't even think about it.
"And do you remember where you came from?"
"I don't remember. β
"That ......"
"I said guest officer, if you don't want anything, don't stay here, I'm not a teahouse. Before Fu Chu's words were finished, he was interrupted by Xiao Er.
......
The sun was still shining outside the house, but Fu Chu couldn't help but sigh in frustration - this feeling was as if the clue was broken.
"That little second doesn't know anything, and he drove us away...... Fu Chu muttered dissatisfiedly: "We haven't found anything, shouldn't we be trapped here forever?"
After the words fell, Chu Duan's voice followed: "No." β
Chu Duan's tone was firm, as if he was already completely sure that he could escape from this world.
As soon as Chu Duan said this, Fu Chu's extinguished hope seemed to be rekindled, she raised her eyes, and when she looked at Chu Duan, she still had a little expectation and joy: "Have you made a new discovery?"
"Not at the moment. β
Fu Chu: "......"
"I didn't say ...... so sure," Fu Chu muttered aggrievedly.
Fu Chu thought that Chu Duan would not hear what she muttered, but he didn't want to, but Chu Duan could hear it clearly, and after speaking, Chu Duan lowered his eyes and glanced at Fu Chu.
Fu Chu's puffed cheeks secretly aggrieved looked like a little hamster, which made people have the urge to reach out and pinch her face.
After Chu Duan stared at Fu Chu for a while, he couldn't help but laugh softly: "But according to that little er's words, at least after us, no one has ever come to this world." β
If that's the case, that's a good thing.
After Chu Duan's voice landed, Fu Chu's eyes changed significantly-this means that after Liu Niang arrested them, she never arrested anyone else?
Liu Niang will arrest people to come to this world every night, if this is the case, then why did Liu Niang suddenly stop arresting people?
