After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

"oops!"

Yuxiu screamed and dodged to the side at the critical moment. The black blood with a strange fishy smell just brushed her cheek and sprayed onto the ground next to her.

"Daughter, are you okay?"

The flashlight only shone on the man's body. Cui heard Yuxiu's scream, but she couldn't see clearly in the dark and she was not sprayed with blood, so she hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine, don't worry, Mom."

Just as Cui breathed a sigh of relief, she heard the man on the ground making the same sound again, then started coughing again, followed by several large mouthfuls of black blood spurting out.

With her previous experience, Yuxiu jumped away quickly, and the other side where Cui was standing would not be affected at all.

"Ahem...water..."

After all this, the man woke up in a daze, shouting in a hoarse voice for water.

Hearing him shouting for water, Cui picked up the cup without Yuxiu's reminder and carefully fed him some boiled water.

The water was from the water dispenser in Yuxiu's supermarket. It was clear and had a special sweetness. After the man took a few sips of the water, he felt the weakness in his body eased. He struggled to get up, only to find that his hands and feet were tied up.

"Who are you? Let me go."

He shook his dizzy head, but still couldn't remember where he was or who was in front of him.

"Don't make a fuss. We are here to save you. But to avoid any trouble, we tied your hands and feet."

Yuxiu was relieved to see that he was awake. She answered casually and started to check the reward for this mission.

There is still a virtual panel in front of me, but the difference from before is that this time there are three orange-red options.

Backyard, second floor, lottery

Simple and crude, making it clear at a glance.

"Host, please choose one. You will have to unlock the others next time."

The system returned to its previous soft voice, urging Yuxiu to make her own choice.

Hearing that there would be another chance next time, Yuxiu gritted her teeth and decisively chose to unlock the space in the backyard.

She really couldn't resist the temptation of taking a good bath. At worst, she could change into clean clothes inside and continue wearing these tattered clothes outside.

After Yuxiu made her choice, the other two options dimmed, leaving only the three big words "Unlocked" under the word "Backyard", which made her a little excited.

"Who are you? What's your name? Why are you lying on the mountain in the middle of the night..."

When Yuxiu came to her senses, she heard Cui, like the uncles in hats who interrogated prisoners in her previous life, starting to ask the man in detail about his origins. She couldn't help but want to laugh, but also felt a little nostalgic.

"My name is, my name is..."

The man thought for a long time but still couldn't remember his name, so he started struggling again, shouting for someone to untie him.

"I really can't remember what it's called, please help me quickly..."

He looked like he was in pain and kept shaking his head.

"Daughter..."

Cui walked up to Yuxiu, pulled her to the side, and whispered:

"This guy is either a fool or he has forgotten his previous name. What should I do?"

During this famine year, even good people don’t know if they can survive. If this man is really a fool, he will probably die within a few days if he goes out.

"From the way he's dressed, he doesn't look like an ordinary citizen. He's injured and poisoned. We rescued him this time, but we don't know if there will be any trouble."

Cui was very worried. It was obvious that this man was not an ordinary person. What if he had enemies chasing him and found out that he was rescued by someone, wouldn't they also kill her and her mother?

"Don't worry, mother. My master only told us to rescue him. He didn't say that we should take him with us. If his enemies really catch up with us, we can just hide there and no one will be able to find us."

No matter what trouble this person has, Yuxiu must rescue him in order to unlock the space in the backyard. Now that the mission has been completed, she will just have to act according to circumstances.

Cui also thought of a place where they could hide, and couldn't help but thank Yuxiu's imaginary master in her heart. If her daughter wasn't so lucky, she and her daughter would probably have been beaten to death on the spot by the Xu family.

The two of them carefully discussed a few words, and the man over there had calmed down. With the weak light of the flashlight, Yuxiu saw that his head was tilted to one side and he made a slight breathing sound.

Did he fall asleep?

Yes, he had a lot of wounds on his body, and he just vomited out poisonous blood. His body must have been tortured badly.

"what!!!"

Yuxiu was still thinking about whether to let Cui go into the space to rest for a while, when she heard a shrill scream from afar, and she was immediately startled.

The sound was particularly obvious in the silent night. Cui also heard it and quickly pulled Yuxiu tightly beside her.

"Don't be afraid, mom. I'll turn off the flashlight first."

Feeling the slight tremor in Cui's arm, Yuxiu comforted her and clicked the switch of the flashlight, and the cave fell into complete darkness.

"Ah! Help!"

"Help...it's a murder..."

"Damn it, I'm going to fight you..."

The screams in the dark night became louder and more frequent. Yuxiu pulled Cui to the stone slab at the entrance of the cave. She looked out along the crack in the edge and saw flames rising into the sky from the village in the distance, soon illuminating half the sky.

In the light of the fire, there was a group of men in black riding on tall horses, holding half-foot long swords and wantonly hacking at the fleeing victims.

It seemed like those people came just to kill people. No matter whether they were hunchbacked old men or half-grown children, they all swung their knives and chopped without hesitation. Before long, the crying and shouting sounds gradually became less and less frequent until they disappeared.

As if they were afraid that some of them would slip through the net, the men in black on horseback swung their swords at the fallen people until the flames grew higher and higher. The dilapidated little village, which was crowded with disaster victims in the afternoon, was now completely engulfed in flames.

The man in black stood there for a while, making sure that there were no more survivors, then he rode away quickly along the official road.

As a breeze blew by, Yuxiu and Cui both smelled a disgusting burnt odor, and heard the crackling sound of burning in the distance. They couldn't help but retching.

"God damn it! They are just ordinary people, how could they do such a cruel thing..."
