Following Mei Ruohan all the way, Su Li stood on the dark roof along the street and watched Mei Ruohan buy a lot of food and herbs from the shops on the street. Su Li raised her eyebrows and became more interested.
It seemed that Mei Ruohan had other encounters in the Qinghe Town, and she couldn't tell anyone about them. Otherwise, with her personality, she wouldn't have asked for help without saying a word.
Mei Ruohan packed everything with difficulty and put away the remaining silver. She seemed to think of something and couldn't help showing a trace of joy on her face.
After going out of the city gate, she chose some remote and difficult roads regardless of the danger at night. After walking for an hour, Su Li finally saw a dilapidated temple covered in the forest.
There were many beggars in the dilapidated temple. Mei Ruohan walked into the dilapidated temple with ease and distributed most of the food to them. She came to the innermost room and put down the package on her back. She gasped hard and immediately whispered, "Brother Long, are you there? Ruohan is here to see you. Brother Long … "
After Mei Ruohan calmly called him three or four times, a man finally crawled out from behind the dilapidated Buddha statue, accompanied by the clanking of chains.
The man was unkempt and dirty, and his clothes were ragged. But it could be seen that he was a young man in his early twenties, and he was not small. There was a chain on the shoulder bones of the young man. It seemed that someone had forcibly knocked one end of the chain into the bones, so that he could not exert his strength and suffered severe pain all day long.
Su Li saw him through the gap of the roof and raised her eyebrows slightly.
The punishment of piercing the bones was a torture that only felons who committed serious crimes would receive. The chain on his shoulder was rusty and did not bleed, which was enough to infer that he had been chained for at least one year.
"He hasn't died after one year, and his pneuma is quite vigorous. Another person who practices Xuangong." Su Li was very interested and continued to watch.
When the young man saw Mei Ruohan coming, his eyes softened for a moment, but he became cold again before Mei Ruohan noticed it. "What are you doing here? Do you forget what I said last time? I told you to get out … Did you hear me?! "
The young man almost shouted with all his strength, and the chains on his body clanked.
Mei Ruohan's body trembled, and tears of grievance welled up in her eyes. She, who had been spoiled since she was a child, had never been scolded like this. However, she did not leave. Instead, she wiped away her tears and began to take out something from the bag on her back.
"This is an analgesic herb. The doctor said that it will have a miraculous effect if you crush it."
"These are dry rations. You must hide them well. Don't let other beggars snatch it away. "
"I also brought you some clothes, water, and a dry cloth. Don't forget to wipe yourself …"
The young man stared at Mei Ruohan in a daze, and his face was trembling. Finally, he lay on the ground and said lightly, "It's up to you. Next time, I allow you to bring someone here. Don't walk alone at night."
Mei Ruohan paused for a moment and then sped up. She lowered her head. No one could see that her eyes were shining, which had never been seen in the past 17 years.
After Mei Ruohan hid the delicious food for the young man, she chatted with him for a while. 90% of the time, Mei Ruohan talked about the interesting things in the Qinghe Town alone. The young man just said "hmm" from time to time. Mei Ruohan could talk about such a strange conversation for a full hour.
Mei Ruohan didn't return to the Qinghe Town alone until late at night. She didn't know who gave her the courage to walk at night. The area outside the Qinghe Town was not a peaceful area. Fortunately, she had good luck in the past two months and didn't encounter any danger.
After Mei Ruohan left, there was only the young man in the room. The coldness in the young man's eyes faded away, leaving only tenderness. He stared at the place where Mei Ruohan sat just now and couldn't help touching it. The hay was still a little warm.
He had lost all hope. He even couldn't escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers and died in the forest that day. But he didn't expect to meet her. What's more, she didn't expect that the first reaction when she saw him was not fear, but protection …
She clearly had such a weak and delicate body, yet she carried him, a man who weighed more than a hundred pounds, from the wilderness outside the city to this broken temple. In order for him to live here, she even gave all the valuable things she had to those beggars.
The young man touched the rusty chain weakly. Bitterness surged in his mouth. He couldn't help but murmur to himself, "I am a dying man. Why did you make a wrong choice …"
"If you think so, she really made a wrong choice!"
Su Li floated down from the roof. The young man's whole body suddenly tightened. He arched his back like a cheetah about to attack. The tenderness in his eyes was gone. Instead, he exuded the tragic atmosphere of a lonely wolf in a desperate situation.
He was careless!
The young man looked at the girl in black with a black veil suddenly appeared in front of him. He didn't even know when the girl arrived.
Su Li looked at the young man with interest and nodded slightly, "You are very good. Although you know that you are not my opponent, you can ignite your fighting spirit. But Mei Ruohan can't … "
"What are you going to do?!" The young man in chain looked cold, "Don't touch her! Otherwise, I won't let you leave safely even if I have to risk my life. "
Su Li picked her slender fingers and teased him slowly, "Hey! Do you care about her at this time? Why were you so arrogant before? Do you really think that you can hurt others unscrupulously because you are dying? "
The young man in chain was relieved. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Who are you to her?"
Su Li smiled and sat down on Mei Ruohan's seat. She was not afraid of dirtying her expensive black gauze dress. She chuckled and said, "You are very smart, at least smarter than I thought. Will the IQ of a man who is in love drop automatically?"
The young man in chain's face darkened. When did he fall in love? Besides … did he show it so obviously?
"Who are you?"
The young man in chain habitually touched his shoulder blade. The movement just now began to hurt again …
"I am not a big shot." Su Li took the medicine bag that Mei Ruohan tidied up and threw it to him, "I am just Mei Ruohan's boss."
"Boss?" The young man in chain was slightly surprised, "Isn't she a student of the Qinghe Girls' School? How can she have a boss?"
"That's really unfortunate."
Su Li took out the contract and waved it in front of the young man in chain, "She just signed it today. Otherwise, where do you think she got the money to buy medicine?"
Although Su Li put away the contract very quickly, the young man still saw Mei Ruohan's handwriting at the bottom of the contract. His face suddenly became gloomy. It was an official contract. Mei Ruohan was just a weak girl. How could she resist?
Mei Ruohan sold herself just for one hundred taels of silver to treat his wound?!
The young man in chain looked at Su Li's black gauze dress and his lips couldn't help trembling, "What … what kind of shop do you run?"
"What kind of shop do you think it is?"
Su Li cooperated with him and let out a charming laugh, which made the young man in chain's face turn pale instantly.
"Medicine, take it back!" The young man in chain threw the medicine bag fiercely and stared at Su Li. Suddenly, he rushed over at the fastest speed, "She can't go to the brothel. Give me the contract!"
Su Li stood up and took a few steps back. She dodged lightly, and the young man in chain suddenly missed her. The chain hit the ground with a clatter, which made the young man grimace in pain.
He trembled and took a deep breath. Then he slowly got up and knelt on the ground. When he was about to lower his head, his eyebrows were touched by a cold fingertip, which stopped him from falling.
He raised his head and saw a pair of eyes as deep as the sea, "Don't say something like 'beg me'. I don't like to hear this kind of words because it is useless. You should always remember it when you work for me."
The young man in chain was stunned, "Work for you?"
Su Li poked the hard chain, which made the young man frown in pain, "Do you want to take this thing with you all your life until you die? And … "
Su Li stood up and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She said angrily, "When did I say that I would run a brothel?"
The young man in chain was completely stunned. It took him a long time to react. His eyes were burning with anger. The long conversation just now turned out to be a joke?!
"It's not a joke."
Su Li seemed to see through the young man in chain and said lightly, "Mei Ruohan has become mine. Since she is interested in you, I naturally have to test you. As for the result, I barely pass."
The young man in chain snorted and retorted, "She is no one's accessory!"
Su Li heard it and immediately laughed, "It's not up to you to decide whether she is an accessory or not. Because you will soon become my accessory. "
"Impossible!"
The young man in chain grinned and sneered, "I have lost a lot. Now I am about to lose my life, but you want to deprive me of my last freedom? If I were capable enough, I would not let her work for a cruel person like you. "
"I am cruel?"
Su Li tilted her head and blinked her eyes. Then she chuckled and said, "Yes, I am cruel, no matter in the previous life or this life. But I have a way to make you follow me willingly. Do you believe it? "
"Oh?" The young man in chain struggled to stand up, as if he was defending the last bit of dignity, "Then let me see what other means you have."
"You seem to forget what I said, or didn't you hear it at all?"
Su Li walked to the young man and poked the chain with her fingertips. She said indifferently, "I will say it for the last time. Do you want to die with this thing? Or … you don't want to stay with Mei Ruohan for the rest of your life? "
The young man's expression changed dramatically. Finally, he couldn't maintain his fragile dignity. If he could be with her aboveboard … and not make her sad, his dignity seemed to be nothing.
"If you don't want to, just pretend that I didn't show up tonight." At this time, Su Li clapped her hands and turned around to leave. Immediately, an urgent voice came from behind, "Wait!"
Su Li turned around lightly. The young man in chain was in a dilemma. Finally, he said, "Do you really have a way to help me?"
"You don't believe me?" Su Li's eyes suddenly lit up with black flames, "Then I will prove it to you now!"
"Puff! Crack! "
Su Li's eyes were slightly cold. She stretched out her hand and grabbed and pressed. The chain hanging in front of the young man's chest was immediately pulled out by a great force. It was straightened and then pulled out from his bones!
The young man felt a sharp pain in his shoulders, and then his vision went black. He fainted from the pain and fell unconscious. Su Li quickly bent down to stop the bleeding for the young man. But the corner of her mouth was slightly raised, showing a perfect curve.
"You can't stand such a little pain? It seems that your will is much weaker than I thought."
…
It was an endless dark space. The young man in chain heard the words "Brother Long" from time to time. He didn't know where he was and could only keep running. Finally … he saw a glimmer of light and opened his eyes.
Looking at the smooth ceiling, the young man in chain was at a loss. Then he began to think, "Where am I? Yes … I am in the ruined temple. That woman pulled out my chain directly. Am I dead? "
The young man in chain slowly turned his eyes and saw Mei Ruohan, who was crying and laughing at the same time. His scattered eyes finally focused.
I am not dead? And … he reached out his hand and touched his shoulder. The chain was really gone?!
It was not a dream!
"Ruohan …"
The hoarse voice scared the young man in chain. How long did he sleep?
"You finally wake up?"
The girl in white suddenly appeared in front of the window. Although she had changed clothes, the young man in chain still recognized her at a glance. She was the devil-like woman who tortured him inside and outside.
