"Even if we rescue them this time, they will still have the shadow of their childhood, right?" Shi Xiaonian asked in a low voice.
They were kidnapped when they were still young, trapped in a cage, faced with strange and vicious people, and faced with a strange and cruel environment. Holy sounded calm, but I wonder how Xiaokui is doing.
"In the UK, one out of five people of my age I know has been kidnapped or almost been kidnapped." Miyao said.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him in astonishment, "Then you..."
"No." Gong Ou said in a deep voice, "I have had personality problems since I was a child. I don't have many contacts with outsiders, so there is no risk of being kidnapped."
“…”
"My brother was kidnapped." Gong Ou said indifferently.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian immediately asked, "Did he let him go after paying the ransom?"
"Yes." Gong Ou nodded.
"Did you suffer then? Is there any shadow?" Shi Xiaonian asked. Gong Ou turned to look at her, his eyes darkened slightly. After a while, he looked away and said in a low voice, "No, at least not what I saw."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian breathed a sigh of relief. The twins were also descendants of the Gong family and had blood inheritance. I hoped that they would not have any shadows.
"I hope the kidnappers are just asking for money and won't mess around." Shi Xiaonian murmured in a low voice, "When they come back this time, I will never be separated from them again."
“…”
Gong Ou was silent and didn't say anything.
He drove smoothly towards the suburbs.
Slowly, the car entered the western suburbs. The western suburbs were too large on the map. Shi Xiaonian looked at the mobile phone in his hand, but there was no incoming call.
She became anxious again, "What do you mean kidnappers? We have entered the western suburbs, why haven't you given us a phone number?"
Gong Ou looked at her mobile phone, frowned slightly, and continued to drive forward.
There are not many vehicles on the road in the suburbs. A car occasionally passes by. There are tall and neat trees on both sides, a river on one side and fields on the other.
The car was driving aimlessly on the road.
Shi Xiaonian became more and more anxious and couldn't sit still. She held up her mobile phone and asked, "Is there no signal? Will we miss the kidnapper's call?"
"calm."
Gong Ou said.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian bit her lip, feeling uneasy but unable to do anything. She wanted to see the twins and wanted to bring them back now.
The phone suddenly vibrated.
Shi Xiaonian was startled, immediately answered the phone, turned on the speakerphone, and Gong Ou stopped the car.
Gong Yao's calm voice rang on her phone again, "Very good, you can stop now."
Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but look at the empty field of vision around her, "How do you know where we are?"
Gong Ou reached out and tapped the display screen on the car. Shi Xiaonian understood that a locator should be installed on the car, so he could know where they were at all times.
"Look out the car window and see a self-built building?"
Gong Yao said, his voice sounded like he was reading a book. It was obvious that he had been reading according to the content on the paper.
When Xiao Nian looked out of the car window, she saw a very beautifully built small foreign-style building. The foreign-style building was built in the fields, a little far away from them.
"Do you want me to drop the ransom in front of this building?"
This is a good location, with a good view, and you can collect the ransom in case of an ambush.
"Of course not." Gong Yao said on the other end of the phone, "I heard that Miss Xi is very good at painting. I want you to go to the south wall of the western-style building and paint a 2-meter-high wall painting that children will like."
"What?"
Shi Xiaonian thought she heard wrongly, raised her eyes, and met Gong Ouju's dark eyes.
Gong Ou sat there quietly, a strange look flashed across his eyes, and his thin lips tightened.
draw.
"I'll give you two hours."
After Gong Yao finished speaking, the call over there was instantly hung up without any response to her words. Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou, frowned and asked, "What does this kidnapper mean? Isn't he paying a ransom? Why do you want to paint?" ?”
How could the kidnapper have such leisurely moments
Gong Ou's face was cold and he said in a deep voice, "Kidnapping is like a prank."
"It's a prank but I still have to draw. Before I see the twins, no matter what I am asked to do, I have to do it." Shi Xiaonian unbuckled his seat belt, "But where can I get the tools to draw?"
"Since the kidnapper mentioned it, there should be someone over there."
Gong Ou said.
"Then I'll hurry over." Shi Xiaonian hurriedly opened the car door and got out.
2 hours.
Two hours is not enough to paint a two-meter-high wall. She must speed up the painting. If children like it, just make it colorful. Children all like it.
Shi Xiaonian ran towards the field path, but within a few steps she started to out of breath and became very weak.
I don’t know if it was because the car accident aggravated her condition. She is now so tired that she has no strength to walk even a few steps.
She gritted her teeth and continued running forward.
Her hand was grabbed from behind. When Shi Xiaonian turned around, Gong Ou walked up to her with an indifferent expression, slightly bent down and carried her on his back.
Shi Xiaonian lay on his back and put her arms on his shoulders. She looked down at him in surprise and said hoarsely, "I can walk by myself."
"Save some energy for painting, you only have two hours."
Gong Ou spoke coldly.
"..." When Shi Xiaonian heard the words, she stopped talking and lay on his back docilely, letting him carry her forward.
The path in the field is so long, it seems to have no end.
Gong Ou's shoes stepped on the withered grass and soiled his trousers.
His back was very broad and stable. Although he was only trying to save the twins, she felt relieved that he could stay with her like this, as if she was no longer so scared.
Since Gong Ou came back, it was the first time they spent sober time together for such a long time.
Shi Xiaonian quietly stared at Gong Ou's side face, her eyes fell on his ears, and there was a thin scar on it, so obvious.
No matter what he becomes now, the hurt he once suffered for her cannot be completely erased from her heart.
"arrive."
Gong Ou walked to the south wall of the foreign-style building and stopped. Shi Xiaonian calmed down and looked up, and saw an open bag on the ground beside the wall, which contained all the painting tools.
"The kidnappers really prepared painting tools."
Shi Xiaonian slid off Gong Ou's back, walked forward, squatted down, opened the bag, and spray-painted graffiti.
Great, that speeds things up a bit.
Shi Xiaonian took a can of spray paint and handed it to Gong Ou, who looked at her inexplicably.
"Help me start spraying from the left and spray over a large area." Shi Xiaonian asked him.
"I can't draw."
"You don't need to know how to do it. I'll just paint it as simple as spraying a large green grass field, and then draw some kites, white clouds, children, and rainbow houses."
Children's favorite paintings are easy to draw.
Gong Ou held the spray paint can and frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "From what height should we start spraying?"
"About one meter."
Shi Xiaonian took the spray paint can and sprayed it diagonally from the left to the right.
Gong Ou stood aside and looked at her, her face was pale, but her eyes were calm. Her eyes would always be a little brighter when she touched Huahua.
Shi Xiaonian finished spraying a concave arc diagonal line and handed the spray paint can to Gong Ou, "Just paint the bottom part. I'll paint the top part. This will save time."
"Um."
Gong Ou took the spray paint can and started spraying it as she asked.
Shi Xiaonian picked up a larger paintbrush from the bag and began to paint the rainbow house.
The bungalow stands in the middle of a field, and the wind is extremely strong.
While she was painting, Xiaonian kept coughing. She stretched out her hand and pressed her heart. She felt so uncomfortable that chills ran down her back. After a few strokes, she stopped and took a deep breath. The more she breathed, the more uncomfortable her lungs became.
Shi Xiaonian gritted his teeth, not letting himself stop and continued painting.
Suddenly, she was turned around by Gong Ou. Gong Ou stood in front of her, staring at her with his black eyes, and reached out to put on the hat on her down jacket.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at him blankly.
Gong Ou took off his coat and put it on her body. Shi Xiaonian quickly dodged, "No, you don't wear much underneath, it will be cold."
"I don't have pneumonia, don't worry about this." Gong Ou said in a deep voice, putting on the coat for her.
Like dressing a child, he held her hand through the sleeves and rolled up the too-long sleeves. His fingers were clean and slender, making such an action particularly pleasing to the eye.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him and blurted out, "Actually, without paranoia, you are just like Holy, cold on the outside and hot on the inside."
He would actually put his coat on for her.
This was something she had never dared to think about before.
"Thinking too much." Gong Ou glanced at her coldly, "Continue painting."
"Um."
Shi Xiaonian nodded, turned to face the wall and continued to draw, outlining the rainbow house one stroke at a time, and also painted the small flowers and grass.
Time passed bit by bit.
The kidnapper's request was that the painting be two meters high.
But she couldn't reach the top kites and white clouds, and she couldn't draw the places she reached, nor could she use her hands.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou in confusion, "What should I do? Ask this family to borrow a chair?"
Gong Ou looked at her speechlessly, "This is someone else's wall. You painted on it without the owner's consent, and they still lend you a chair? It's not bad if they don't beat you."
When the time comes, I won't be able to paint anymore.
Shi Xiaonian pursed her lips, "What should we do?"
She lowered her eyes and glanced at the time on the watch. Two hours were up in the blink of an eye. What should she do if she couldn't finish the painting? She handed the brush to Gong Ou, "You are taller. I will teach you. Just paint."
"You teach me, but I can't draw either."
“…”
That's not impossible.
Shi Xiaonian frowned, thinking about where to find something to stand on. As she thought about it, she looked at Gong Ou and said, "Squat down."
"do what?"
Gong Ou frowned.
"You squat down and I can almost draw by stepping on your back." Shi Xiaonian stood there and whispered.
"..." Gong Ou was silent.
"..." She also fell silent.
The two stood in front of the colorful wall and looked at each other. Gong Ou looked at her gloomily, "Xi Xiaonian, do you really want to climb on my head?"
"I didn't mean that." Shi Xiaonian said, "I just made a suggestion. If you don't want to do it, forget it."
Anyway, he has always emphasized that in their relationship, he must be on top and she should be on bottom. (To be continued)
