Outside, heavy snow was flying, the north wind was howling, and the temperature dropped sharply.
Yu Qiubai was guarding the door of the basement, wondering what was happening to Shen Xi inside. Seeing the snow getting heavier and heavier, the wind made him shiver uncontrollably, and a layer of snow fell on his body. Gonna turn into a snowman.
It was still quiet inside. There had been no movement since she entered. He listened for a while, waited for a while, and finally walked a little further away, took out his mobile phone and made a call.
He didn't have Li Yuan's phone number, but he had Yun Jinping's phone number. He called her. After asking for Li Yuan's number, he made up his mind and called him.
No matter what happened, since Xi Xi already knew about it and didn't say anything to him or do anything to him, the Li family's affairs should not have much to do with him or his mother.
Time passes minute by minute.
He stood guard at the door, but kept staring ahead. About half an hour later, the man finally appeared in the wind and snow.
In the distance, through the snow curtain, the figure of the man was a little blurry. He walked in a hurry. Soon, he had walked in front of him and nodded slightly to him.
Yu Qiubai also nodded to him, pointed to the iron door behind him, and quietly stepped back out.
He didn't show any hostility towards him. He suddenly felt that he was thinking too much. If he wanted to find someone, no one could escape him.
The fact that he didn't find him or his mother was enough to show that he didn't want to cause trouble to them, not that he and his mother hid well.
Behind him, the old iron door made a slight sound.
He didn't look back. Everything that happened next had nothing to do with him. He could only do this. He still had to go home to see his mother. He still had many things to ask his mother.
This time, his mother should tell him the whole story.
Snowflakes were flying, blown into the basement by the north wind.
At the basement door, Li Yuan stood quietly, his tall body blocking the outside wind and snow.
The light in the room was cold white, shrouding the whole room, and there was a fishy, cold, and damp smell in the air.
Everything here has not changed at all from what he remembered. Everything exists in his deepest and most disgusting nightmare.
This was once a place he wanted to escape from and destroy in his dreams.
He once thought that he would never come near this place again, but at this moment, he was here, and he was back to the place he hated most in his life.
He looked at the little figure huddled in the cage, hugging his knees, and his heart clenched tightly.
In addition to the smell in the air that disgusted him and made him hate it, the scent that belonged to her also rushed towards his face, as if it was carrying magical power, making his heart calm down.
He walked over step by step, squatted in front of her, and stretched out his hand towards her. His voice was gentle and warm in the quiet space, moistening the cold air a little bit: "Xi Xi."
The cold air around seemed to become warmer.
Shen Xi, who trapped herself in the cage, rested her chin on her knees, her confused eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist. She looked at him, tears falling suddenly.
The crystal tears fell one drop at a time, falling on the cage, making a small ticking sound, but they seemed to fall on his heart drop by drop.
He stretched out his hand in a panic, trying to wipe away her tears, but he couldn't wipe them away. She just looked at him, quietly and seriously, as if she wanted to engrav his appearance into her mind and bones. Same as in blood.
He couldn't bear it any longer, and with one force of his hand, he pulled the little girl out of the cage. She fell into his arms as soon as her head fell into his arms. Her little hands hugged his waist tightly, and her little body couldn't help trembling. Standing, the cries were suppressed.
At this moment, he didn't even know how to comfort her. He could only hug her tightly, rest his chin on her shoulder, gently rub the side of her face, and keep his voice low, Very gently: "It's all over."
Those painful, desperate memories, those memories that seemed like being trapped in a nightmare hell, are all in the past.
His mother once told him that there was light in this world, but he didn't believe it until that day and that moment when he saw her.
Her appearance was like a light, the light he saw in the deepest part of hell, the light he wanted to catch and pursue throughout his life, so beautiful and warm.
He once thought that he was not worthy of having her or light in his life. He had been looking for her for so many years but could not find her.
But just when he was about to fall into despair, she appeared again, so unexpectedly, that she crashed into his heart.
The man's deep, warm voice enveloped her bit by bit, like streams of warmth, penetrating into her heart and warming her limbs.
She didn't know what she should say or what she was going to say, so she could only hug him tightly. Only by hugging him, feeling his temperature, and listening to his heartbeat could she feel less panic and less Uncomfortable.
She knew that he had a difficult life, she knew that he had experienced many, many bad things, but she never knew that the hardships he endured were a hundred times more painful than she thought. He had come from a bloody hell. Climbed out!
This place is his hell, the hell where he is imprisoned.
She couldn't imagine what he had gone through here. He was so young at that time, he was just a child who didn't know anything.
This cold room filled with blood and cruelty, this cold cage, was where he once lived.
Those in the fifth family all know his pain and his innocence, but there is not even a single person to help him or care about him. They are all beasts and everyone deserves to die! No one is innocent!
"She told you all." Li Yuan's heart was aching, and he patted her back gently to calm her down.
He didn't know how much she told her, and Yu Qiubai didn't know what they both said.
He should have gone to find her earlier. He should not have let the little girl know these things. The past is all in the past.
"Brother." Shen Xi suddenly raised his head, his tearful eyes were red and swollen with red bloodshot eyes, and he locked his eyes: "Are they all dead?"
Are those who have hurt him, those who have looked on with cold eyes, those who have betrayed his mother, all dead
She couldn't imagine what kind of beast that person must be to do such a cruel thing to her own son. If he was still alive, she would definitely find him out and do what he had done to him. The pain in his body was returned to him thousands of times.
