The prince is seriously ill

Chapter 20 The Stranger

Xun Yu stayed in the grass until dark, and then limped into the wooden house after dark.

Zhu Chengbing in the wooden house was thinking about something, and was in a daze with a sullen face. He raised his head when he heard the sound of the door and footsteps. When he saw that the person who came was Xun Yu, a cripple, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he stood up vigilantly.

Xun Yu stood at the door, looking at him meaningfully.

"What are you doing here?" Zhu Chengbing frowned.

"I need your help!" Xun Yu didn't intend to go around in circles with him.

Zhu Chengbing looked at him for a while, then smiled, "You want me to help you escape?"

"Exactly!" Xun Yu nodded.

"Why do you think I will help you?" Zhu Chengbing raised his eyebrows.

To be honest, he wasn't sure if he would help at all.It's just that he remembered that when he first met Bing'er, Bing'er said something that confused him - 'Now we're clear'.At that time, he was still wondering why he would say that, until he guessed his identity, the mystery in his heart was solved, and because of this, he dared to bet that Zhu Chengbing in front of him would help him.

"If I escape successfully, there will be no debt between us from now on! You won't forget about the jade pendant five years ago, right? I have taken the notoriety of stealing for you, and I will bear all the crimes for you If you didn't feel guilty about framing me and stealing the jade pendant in your heart, you wouldn't beg the master to let me go when we first met." Xun Yu said.

Zhu Chengbing walked to his side very slowly, leaned into his ear and said: "You also said that I saved you once, the last time we saved you, there was no relationship between us, why do you want me to save you again ?”

Xun Yu looked straight into his eyes and said, "Last time you didn't mean to save me at all! You just couldn't stand Mrs. Zhu acting like a baby in front of you. Besides, you didn't save me. You acquiesced to your mother I was sent to the guy's room, and you have never thought of saving me out these days. So, how can you save me? "

Zhu Chengbing didn't refute it, it seemed that he acquiesced. "How do you want me to save you?"

"Help me escape from the stronghold and promise that no one will come after me, and you will save me." Xun Yu said.

"Okay! I'll let you go, I guarantee you can leave the village safely and there will be no pursuers!" Zhu Chengbing said frankly, but his eyes became colder and colder, "From then on, both Zhu Chengbing in the past and Niu Dabing will follow you Xun Yu has nothing to do with it, next time you see you, you have to be careful about your head, my mother is right, as long as people from the Zhu family are still alive, they will never let someone surnamed Xun go!"

Xun Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, who knows what will happen when we meet again? "You have to return my crutches, otherwise, even in my dreams, I will remember that Zhu Chengbing owed me a pair of crutches."

Zhu Chengbing sent someone to give him your crutches, motioned Xun Yu to follow him, went to the gate of the cottage openly, and said to the big man guarding the gate, "Open the door!"

Xun Yu clenched his crutch tightly, calculating in his mind how likely it was to defeat the big man and escape. When he saw a dozen bandits with knives standing beside him, he stopped looking around wisely and focused all his attention on the big man guarding the gate.

The big man opened the door without saying a word?He never expected that he really walked out of the bandit's den so easily! ! !

As soon as he came out of the cottage, his heart was pounding, and he started to run wildly on the mountain road with his cane, but he couldn't step on his feet several times. Thanks to his martial arts skills and good balance ability since he was a child, he didn't fall down.He was worried that Zhu Chengbing's words would not count and he would bring people to chase him, so he ran until Dongfang Lubai collapsed against the tree and stopped, then sat down on the ground along the trunk to breathe.The night's dew wet his trouser legs, and the wet clothes were all stuck to his body. When the cold wind blew, he was shivering from the cold, probably because of the cold, and his legs began to throb and hurt.

He didn't dare to rest for too long, he hadn't eaten for a day, and he had traveled all night. He was exhausted, and all his strength seemed to be exhausted. The numb right hand propped up the crutches and walked forward with difficulty.

A faint ray of light began to appear in the eastern sky, and he finally saw a dilapidated temple overgrown with weeds.His eyes lit up and he quickened his pace. He walked in a hurry, so he didn't notice the broken spider web by the door eaves, nor did he see the gray-black spider struggling to climb on a hanging silk thread.

Xun Yu pushed the door and entered, only stepped into the door with one foot and then stopped. The heavy drowsiness disappeared suddenly, and his body tensed up suddenly. He was about to turn around and go out, but he hesitated for a moment and closed the door as if nothing had happened, and walked straight in. go.

"Boy, you'd better not meddle in your own business!" A ferocious voice sounded.

Xun Yu turned a deaf ear to it, knowing that the man was warning him, so he didn't answer, but leaned against the wall and watched cautiously, his palms overflowing with cold sweat.

It turned out that in the dusty ruined temple, a middle-aged man in his 40s was pressing hard on a teenager.The man's feet hooked the boy's knees respectively, and his hands were tightly strangled around his neck.The young man didn't look weak either, he punched the man on the head one after another, and his body kept struggling.

After seeing the boy's face clearly, Xun Yu couldn't help being stunned: This boy looks really weird, there is actually a huge black birthmark on the left half of his face, the black birthmark is roughly in the shape of a drop, extending from the corner of the mouth to the cheekbones .

The boy was strangled by the man, his face was pale, he tried his best to breathe with his mouth wide open, his eyes were so painful that only two slits were left, thick splayed lines appeared on his brows, and a large black birthmark also appeared Sometimes large and sometimes small folds.

"I have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me?" The boy looked at him angrily and said.

The middle-aged man said fiercely: "Don't think I don't know, if I don't kill you, you will kill me!"

The boy raised his voice and said, "How could I kill you?"

The middle-aged man said harshly: "I have been hungry for three whole days, if I continue to starve, I will die. If I don't eat you, I will die. Don't blame me, and don't come to me after death!"

The boy was shocked, his eyes were wide open, and the black birthmark was even more cautious, "You killed me to eat me?"

The middle-aged man licked his lips and said, "Of course! Don't tell me you didn't have such a plan! Now people have dug up all the edible tree roots on the mountain, not to mention the food that is more expensive than gold! We homeless There are only two paths for poor ghosts to return to—either cannibalize or be eaten!"

"I'd rather... die than... eat people!" The young man said with difficulty, his voice seemed to be lacking stamina, and it became weaker and weaker.

Xun Yu drew out his dagger and walked over quietly. When he got behind the man, the man seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly turned around, "What are you going to do?"

Without saying a word, Xun Yu quickly stabbed at his heart, then pulled it out violently, and stabbed him twice again. When he saw the man fell on the young man with a terrified expression, he wiped away the blood that splashed on the corner of his eyes. Blood, clenched the dagger and walked back to the corner.

The young man gritted his teeth and opened the immobile hand on his neck, pushed away the heavy corpse on his body, sat up on the ground with one hand, rubbed his neck, coughed for a long time before standing up, and walked to Xunyu Said in front of him: "You saved me!"

Xun Yu lowered his head to wipe the dagger, without raising his head, he said, "If he kills you, he will kill me." He just saved him, and from the conversation between the two, he concluded that it is obviously safer for this young man to live than that man.If a man kills the boy and eats it, he will definitely kill himself again when he is hungry!Therefore, his original intention of killing a man was not to save others, but to eliminate the threat around him.

The teenager looked down at the child sitting in the corner, and saw his hand at a glance, "Your hand hurt?"

Xun Yu glanced at his red and swollen right hand, and silently retracted his sleeve.He doesn't want to say anything at all now, the wind is blowing in the ruined temple, he obviously feels cold, but his whole body is sweating uncontrollably, his stomach starts to convulse, he knows all this is due to being hungry for too long, his eyelids He was so heavy that he couldn't open his eyes, he told himself that he must never fall asleep, if he fell asleep, he would become someone else's meal.

As if he couldn't drive away the drowsiness, he rubbed his injured finger vigorously on the ground again, the pain hit him, his whole body trembled, and his strength finally returned a little.He lifted his head, which was as heavy as lead, and met a pair of eyes that were scrutinizing him closely. He suddenly picked up the crutches, and his upper body straightened up cautiously.

The young man stared blankly at this child who was obviously very tired but pretended not to be tired. He didn't understand why he was full of hostility towards him, so he took a step closer tentatively and said, "You saved me, I won't hurt you."

Xun Yu snorted coldly, he knew how uncomfortable it was to be extremely hungry!In order to survive, it is entirely possible for human beings to lose all man-made propriety, righteousness and shame, leaving only the survival instinct no different from animals.If you have enough storage, you know etiquette, but if you don't have enough, cannibalism will naturally not be new.

He suddenly looked at the dead man on the ground who was still spurting blood, stood up indifferently, walked around the weird-looking boy in front of him, and walked in front of the corpse with red eyes. This body didn't get cold so quickly, the blood It should still be hot!He swallowed, his throat made an unbearable rumbling sound, he knelt down on the ground, and eagerly tore off the clothes on the wound. Seeing the blood-red liquid flowing out, he couldn't help but secrete more saliva. He was about to bow his head, boy He rushed over and shouted loudly: "You can't eat people!"

Xun Yu turned his head impatiently and stared at him fiercely, without saying a word, but his eyes conveyed his meaning.

The young man instinctively took two steps back under that unkind gaze, he knew that he was warning him not to mind his business, but how could he eat people?He obviously saved me!The young man stepped forward and said: "How can you not eat people?"

Xun Yu thought it was ridiculous. He really didn't know if he was pretending to be stupid or really stupid. He must have said this deliberately to dispel my distrust of him, right?Thinking about it, he mocked, "I won't eat people if I have something else to eat!"

The young man hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he frowned to meet his mocking eyes again. He reached into his bosom and touched the oval that had been treasured for a long time. After a long time, he finally took out his hand and dragged it. A black mass, "here, you don't want to eat people."

Xun Yu was stunned, he didn't expect this fool to actually give him food!He is very familiar with this food, it is the red meat cake that his mother once gave him, but the color of the one in his hand looks darker, as if it has been placed for a long time.He stood up, took a deep look at the boy, and suddenly grabbed the red meat cake that was fixed in mid-air, and stuffed it into his mouth like a hungry ghost.
