Although the heavy rain has become lighter, the raindrops are still cold and sticky on the face, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. Seeing Zhou Mu's insistence on looking at his feet, Yu Chu suddenly became irritable, and said in a higher voice, "They said it's all right, and told you to wait for me by the boat, and insisted on asking—"
Before he could finish yelling, Zhou Mu hung the flashlight strap around his neck, reached out and grabbed his ankle, pulled it out, then pushed his trouser leg up roughly, and quickly peeled off his shoes and socks, Expose the already swollen ankle to the light of the flashlight.
Yu Chu closed his mouth, watching Zhou Mu press his ankle with his fingers. Zhou Mu's expression was very serious, and his brows were also tightly frowned. His eyes were looking at the ankle, just like a surgeon looking at a just-taken X-ray.
After letting him pinch for a while, Yu Chu finally couldn't help asking: "Is it a broken bone? Or a broken bone?"
The focused surgeon didn't answer, as if wondering where to cut.
Yu Chu suddenly trembled, feeling more pain in his ankle, even if Zhou Mu touched it lightly, his body would tremble accordingly.
"Take it easy, lighten your hand, the bone is already broken, don't move the broken bone for me." He began to nervously touch Zhou Mu's hand, "It hurts, the bone is broken, don't Lush."
Zhou Mu slowly turned his head to look at him, and said, "It's just a twist, the bones are fine, the swelling will heal after two days of rest."
Yu Chu shut his mouth and made no further sound.
Zhou Mu put his feet down, turned around and squatted with his back to him, although Yu Chu didn't say it clearly, but Yu Chu understood the meaning of this movement, and rushed forward unceremoniously, throwing himself heavily on his back.
He did it on purpose, he wanted to throw Zhou Mu forward, but this person's foot was very stable, when he bumped into him like this, his body didn't even shake, and he supported his legs and knees effortlessly stood up.
Zhou Mu walked towards the beach with him on his back, her steps were steady and fast. His body temperature was very high, and the heat was continuously transmitted from his broad and strong back, making Yu Chu who was cold all over his body feel very comfortable.
He obediently lay on Zhou Mu's shoulder, looked sideways at the darkness on the left, and said without thinking, "Actually, I just blurted it out."
"Huh?" Zhou Mu obviously didn't understand what he meant.
Yu Chu paused, and said, "It's nothing."
Zhou Mu didn't ask any further questions, and continued walking silently behind his back.
What Yu Chu was referring to was that when Zhou Mu asked about his feet just now, he didn't tell the truth and didn't allow people to look at him, and even got angry at people.
He knew from an early age that he should not reveal his weak side in front of his companions. The orphans fled together in order to survive, and those who were weak would always disappear without knowing it. After the little girl who loved to smile at him disappeared, he understood a truth, that is, no matter how severe the injury was, he had to hold back, hide the wound well, so that he would not be abandoned if he didn't hold back.
So just now he reflexively started to cover up, but he would never say these words to Zhou Mu after all.
Untying the rope of the speedboat hidden behind the boulder, Zhou Mu started the speedboat and headed towards Xingyuan Island. The sea was still very rough, but it was much better than before. In only ten minutes, I saw the outline of Xingyuan Island.
It was four o'clock in the middle of the night, four hours had passed since Yu Chu sneaked out of the island. There was no one on the pier, only a few lights hanging in front of the guardhouse, proving that his departure had not been noticed.
Zhou Mu turned off the engine when he was about to approach Xingyuan Island, took out two sticks of wood pulp from the boat, and threw one to Yu Chu. The two sat side by side, paddling the water with wooden paddles tacitly.
After landing, Zhou Mu parked the speedboat back to its position, carried Yu Chu on his back, and walked towards Yujiabao. When the familiar Yujiabao appeared in the field of vision again, Yu Chu asked somewhat disappointedly: "Zhou Mu, can I really only stay on this island for the rest of my life?"
His voice was still somewhat juvenile, and when he spoke in such a lost and sad tone, it sounded very pitiful. Zhou Mu knew that he was faking it, this guy would definitely not sit still, maybe he was thinking about some trick, but he still said: "You just need to keep the key safe, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
"Key? What key?" Yu Chu suddenly pricked up her ears, her tone was sharp, and the pitiful look on her face disappeared.
These days after he wore it, he looked around when he had nothing to do, and he couldn't remember where he saw any keys.
"Tell me, what key?" Seeing that Zhou Mu didn't answer, he straightened up and shook his shoulder.
Zhou Mu was shaken so badly that he couldn't walk, so he stopped and scolded: "Don't move around, or you can get down to the ground and walk by yourself."
Yu Chu stretched out both hands to strangle him, and Yulu threatened fiercely: "Tell me about the key, or I'll kill you here."
Zhou Mu ignored him, just lifted him up and continued walking.
"Why am I so miserable? My brother wants to kill me, and my father doesn't care about me. If he wants to leave here, he will die. Only the bodyguards don't want me to die, but they don't tell me the reason... Maybe one day, I will die out of nowhere... At that time, can you put a bunch of flowers on my grave, don't want those thorns downstairs, you can find me some thornless ones, and don't want the pink ones... Forget it, I should be innocent after I die. Gen's lonely soul, maybe where it will go, and there is no need to send flowers... "
Yu Chu was pretending at the beginning, but she really touched her heart when she said it later, with a bit of sincere sadness in her tone. He lay on Zhou Mu's shoulders, all the strength in his body was exhausted, he was lifeless like a sack.
"The key can keep you safe, provided you keep it safe and don't let anyone take it away." Zhou Mu who was silent suddenly spoke.
Yu Chu's heart skipped a beat, but she knew she couldn't show her joy, otherwise this person would definitely ignore him again.
"But where are the keys? I didn't even realize I had any keys." He sniffed pitifully, his words revealing a nasal voice.
"You keep the key yourself, and only you know where it is."
"But I came from time travel, and I'm not myself."
Zhou Mu stopped in his tracks, with a hint of anger in his tone: "Traveling, can you stop pretending to be crazy? You have nothing to do, but I don't have so much time and energy to go crazy with you every day, Second Young Master. Don't you?" Take my own life seriously, but I still want to live a few more years."
After speaking, he threw the person on his back and walked straight forward.
Yu Chu slid to the ground, staggered two steps before standing firmly, seeing Zhou Mu's back without turning his head, he could only drag his sprained right leg and limped along behind. But the sprained foot was getting more and more painful, and he couldn't exert any strength, so he had to move to the side of the road, trying to break a branch or something to use as a crutch.
But there were tall palm trees beside the road, with smooth trunks and no extra branches. He searched the ground again, trying to find broken branches, but found nothing.
Yu Chu didn't bother to leave, and was about to sit down against a palm tree, her buttocks had only slid halfway, when the collar at the back of her neck was caught, and she hung in the air in a half-squat position.
He turned his head quickly, and as expected, Zhou Mu turned back at some point and stood by the tree behind him.
"What are you doing back again?" Yu Chu asked.
Zhou Mu said stiffly: "Come back and see how you limped back."
Yu Chu turned his upper body and punched the person behind him in the lower abdomen, but Zhou Mu only carried the person forward a little distance, and his punch was in vain.
Yu Chu stood up straight with one leg, and pounded Zhou Mu with both hands like a cannonball. Zhou Mu didn't fight back, but only used his other hand to block, and said impatiently: "That's enough, that's enough, I've said enough."
Yu Chu wanted to continue, when Zhou Mu suddenly looked to the right, with a vigilant look on his face. He noticed something was wrong, stopped immediately, lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's someone coming over there." After Zhou Mu finished speaking, he hugged him horizontally, retreated into the woods, and hid behind a big tree that hugged him thickly.
