Cruel and bloody? But everyone is walking on the edge of a knife; if they aren’t cruel, then soone will be cruel to them.
So Number Five was sowhat hesitant.
"Why are you telling this? Isn’t it a secret?"
"It’s no problem telling you, since you know what I do, and it’s not really a secret. You can tell others, it’s fine," Number Five said indifferently.
That’s true. Despite the many things above, besides emphasizing the serious consequences of betrayal, nothing was really leaked.
"We’re here," the boy suddenly said.
The two looked ahead, a few tile houses slightly better than the boy’s ho appeared before them, and a person ca out holding a basin of water.
Seeing the boy, the girl holding the water greeted him, "Big Egg Brother, why are you here?"
"Didn’t you rescue soone a few days ago? These two people are here looking for soone. Let them see that person; they might recognize him," said the boy, called Big Egg.
The girl’s eyes held obvious caution, yet she nodded, "Co inside with ."
The house was small, filled with various things, releasing a strange sll.
Lan Shao was lying on a small bed amidst the clutter. Seeing him, Fan Rou imdiately rushed over.
Her hands trembled as she reached for his nose, feeling that faint breath; she collapsed to the ground.
Soon, tears began to flow from her eyes, yet her face held a smile, "Number Five, I found him, I found him."
"Don’t cry, he’s still alive, that’s a good thing," Number Five patted her shoulder. "I’ll contact soone now to co and pick us up."
"Okay," Fan Rou nodded.
After Number Five went out, Fan Rou picked up Lan Shao’s hand, seeing the scratches on his arms, her eyes were full of pain.
She looked elsewhere and found that besides his hands, he had scratches in various degrees on his body.
Fan Rou’s tears flowed more fiercely.
"D-don’t worry," the boy edged closer to her and said.
Fan Rou wiped her tears, "Sorry, I must look foolish to you, I’m just too happy."
"We understand," the boy waved his hand.
Soon, Number Five ca back, she said to Fan Rou, "People can’t co until tomorrow."
She looked at the girl, "Can I stay here tonight? Rest assured, I won’t disturb you, just for one night."
"Alright, but there isn’t an extra bed in my house, you might have to sleep on the floor." If it were winter, sleeping on the floor would be problematic.
Because there are no blankets.
"I’ll sleep on the floor then, I can manage, as for Number Five, you’ll stay over there," she said, looking at the limited space for two people.
"I’ll keep watch outside for you." Her main task was to look after her; if sothing happened, the madam would surely skin her alive.
Knowing her nature, Fan Rou didn’t persuade her, "Alright then."
The two didn’t have much luggage, everything was carried with them, so there was no need to go back.
Fan Rou stood up and said to the boy, "Thank you, little brother."
She took out her wallet from her bag and extracted five hundred yuan from it, "This is for you."
Such an amount startled the boy, and he quickly declined, "No, I can’t accept that. I didn’t really do anything."
"Take it, without you, I wouldn’t have found him." Fan Rou looked at Lan Shao lying on the bed, "I’m very grateful to you."
Fan Rou kept pushing the money into the boy’s hands, and he eventually had to accept it, his face full of humility.
