I was a hunter in ancient times

Chapter 55

    "No, it will hurt your wound."

Zhou Du hugged Shen Xi to his knees. After Shen Xi was slightly stunned, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed Zhou Du's chest, wanting to get out of his embrace.

"It doesn't matter," Zhou Du wrapped his arms around his slender waist, and held him tightly in his arms, not allowing him to leave, and whispered softly, "Stay at ease."

"You..." There is

no hiding , Shen Xi, who was unavoidable and did not dare to struggle, could only lean his head on Zhou Du's chest and snuggle into his arms like a child, his breath was full of his smell, listening to him never Such a gentle tone, trembling and cold body, miraculously calmed down.

"Are you still afraid like this?" Zhou Du's five fingers were always together with Shen Xi's five fingers, he gently squeezed the back of Shen Xi's slightly cool hand, and asked softly.

It is precisely because Zhou Du is also afraid of the dark, so he understands how uncomfortable the feeling of helplessness, panic and suffocation is. He, who is about to enter his 30s, has not been able to get out of this shadow so far, let alone a child, Shenxi.

Zhou Du closed his eyes weakly. He had stayed with Shen Xi for so long, but he didn't even know that Shen Xi was as afraid of the dark as he was. Shenxi in the movie, to help him expel the fear brought by the darkness.

The distance between the two at this moment can be said to be skin-to-skin contact, so Shen Xi can feel Zhou Du's jaw when he raises his head a little, as long as Zhou Du speaks and breathes out, he can feel it.

Staying alone in the dark is still different from staying in the dark with two people. Shen Xi's hand tightly held by Zhou Du gradually felt a bit of warmth pick up, and his disordered breathing gradually calmed down.

"It's better." One of Shen Xi's hands was pulled by Zhou Du, and the other hand was placed on the lapel of Zhou Du's chest, feeling his heartbeat again and again, and his restless heart inexplicably settled down.

Zhou Du gave a soft "um" and relaxed a little. While he was helping Shen Xi resist the darkness, Shen Xi was also helping him expel his fear.

In the darkness, Zhou Du didn't notice how gentle his voice was at this moment, so gentle that it seemed as if the ice could be melted by him.

Shen Xi's heart trembled again, and his fingers gripping Zhou Du's skirt tightened again, as if Zhou Du's shell had been opened, revealing his soft heart that he never showed to others.

In order to test this idea, Shen Xi raised his head and whispered to Zhou Du's chin: "Can you get closer."

"Is that so?" Zhou Du immediately lowered his head without hesitation, his chin stuck to the hair on his side neck asked.

Shen Xi's throat was tight, his heart was almost numb by Zhou Du's gentle voice, and his face was slightly hot. How could he still remember the fear brought by the darkness, and he said in a trembling voice: "Can... can you do it again? Come closer."

Zhou Du didn't suspect anything, and lowered his head again, his cheek pressed against the hair beside Shen Xi's ear, and asked again: "Is this okay?"

"Come down a little bit, I want to hear you in my ear While talking," Shen Xi's heart shrank again, fearing that Zhou Du would not agree, he begged again, "Is it okay?"

"Okay," Zhou Du did not refuse, and his cool lips moved down to Shen Xi's. On the pinna, asked softly: "Is that so?"

"Yeah." The gentle voice and slightly hot breath swirled in the cochlea, not only Su Ma Shenxi's heart, but even his whole body was engulfed by Su. up.

In the darkness, Shen Xi's face became more and more red and hot, especially his ears, which were so red that they were bleeding. Fortunately, he couldn't see his fingers in the cave, and Zhou Du couldn't see anything, otherwise Shen Xi would have wanted to find him. Drill into a seam.

Zhou Du adjusted his sitting posture so that he could stick to Shen Xi's ear more conveniently, thought for a while, in order to relieve Shen Xi's fear and also to break the silence, he took the initiative to ask: "Shen Xi, why are you afraid of the dark. "

In his impression, Shenxi is optimistic, cheerful, passionate, like a little sun, as if he can sweep away all the haze in the world, it is hard for someone like him to be as afraid of the dark as he is.

Zhou Du has always disliked prying into other people's privacy, so no matter how vaguely Shen Xi told him about the past before, he didn't have to pry into it, but at this moment, he was eager to know what the reason was. Let his little sun become so fragile.

Shen Xi didn't answer, and remained silent for a long time, so long that his palms that had just warmed up had a tendency to turn cold again, and even his body couldn't help shaking.

Zhou Du held his hand tightly, and pressed his lips against his ear again, and gently comforted him: "Don't recall, don't talk if you don't want to."

Shen Xi buried his head on Zhou Du's shoulder , bit the clothes on his shoulders, restrained his trembling teeth, after a long time, his voice was hoarse and low, as if trying to endure something, he stammered: "...they... put me... ...locked in the cellar...don't let me go out."

After saying this, Shen Xi seemed to be relieved, and burst into tears on Zhou Du's shoulder, speaking incoherently: "Zhou Du, I'm so sorry. I'm scared, I'm so scared, I can't see the light, I didn't come to save me, it's thundering, it's going to rain, the rain is flooding in, I'm so cold."

Although Shen Xi's words were confusing, Zhou Du passed his Speech or piece together some information out.

According to Shen Xi, he came to Taoyuan Village ten years ago. Ten years ago, he should have been only eight years old. Through all the details, Zhou Du knew that he had traveled north and south with his uncle. Xi is only about five or six years old.

Zhou Du couldn't figure out who was so cruel to lock a five or six year old child in the cellar.

Zhou Du's heart throbbed again and again, and the strength of his arms around Shen Xi couldn't help but intensify, and some bad scenes from the past kept reappearing in front of his eyes.

A bad premonition came to his mind, he twitched his lips, but he still didn't dare to ask Shen Xi who locked him in the cellar.

He dreaded hearing those three words that made him almost breathless.

He just hugged Shen Xi like this, his whole body was stiff, and he didn't dare to move, until Shen Xi was crying out of breath and coughing from choking, then he let go of the hand that was holding him tightly, and climbed onto his emaciated bed On his back, he let the air flow for him, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Hey, don't cry, it's all over."

Shen Xi cried and wet Zhou Du's entire shoulders, crying until he choked and couldn't breathe, until he heard It was only after Zhou Du comforted him that he jumped out of those dark and damp memories.

He grabbed Zhou Du's clothes, sobbed softly, and twitched the ground like a sharp knife, piercing Zhou Du's heart one by one.

But he couldn't cry out because of the pain, and he didn't dare to cry out.

After a while, Shen Xi had cried enough, he wiped his crying face with his sleeve, raised his hand to touch Zhou Du's cheek, and said in an anxious voice: "Did I scare you, why are you so cold. "

Zhou Du shook his head: "No."

"Is that because I hurt your wound?" Then Shen Xi asked nervously.

Zhou Du shook his head again: "Not at all."

Shen Xi noticed that Zhou Du's tone was a little cold, he didn't know where he had offended Zhou Du, so he didn't dare to move or speak.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Du couldn't feel his movements, and asked in a low voice: "Sleepy?"

Shen Xi imitated his tone and said: "No."

Zhou Du lowered his head to see his expression, but he couldn't see anything: " Why don't you speak?"

Shen Xi raised his head to look into Zhou Du's eyes, but he couldn't see anything. Feeling depressed, he asked, "Zhou Du, may I ask you why you are afraid of the dark?"

Shen Xi is not blind, Zhou Du stays in the room every night. Lighting so many oil lamps and candles, if he didn't know that he was afraid of the dark, he would have lived in vain for so many years.

But he dared not ask.

Usually, when he gets a little closer to Zhou Du, he will open his shell to bite people, let alone break his shell to pry into the secrets of his heart.

He could only pry his shell bit by bit to get a glimpse of his soft heart, but tonight Zhou Du managed to open the shell by himself, showing him his soft side, and he wanted to go in and see See what's in there.

Zhou Du's fingertips on Shen Xi's back trembled slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he still uttered two words: "Yes."

Shen Xi immediately asked, "Then why are you afraid of the dark?"

In Shen Xi's eyes, Zhou Du should be the kind of person who is not afraid of anything, even if there are mountains of swords and flames in front of him, he dares to break through. He can't figure out what makes such a fearless person afraid of a small darkness.

Zhou Du let out a heavy breathing sound, and hugged Shen Xi and changed his posture again. This posture is said to be hugging, but more like lying down, but now the two of them are in the dark, and neither of them cares.

"Shen Xi, I'm the son of a human trafficker." Zhou Du loosened his arms around Shen Xi, and even let go of the hands covering his back, with a look of letting go and giving up on himself.

Shen Xi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Zhou Du to have such a background, after waiting for a while, Zhou Du didn't speak, and then asked: "And then?"

Zhou Du has been waiting, waiting for Shen Xi to hate him, or push him away He, insulting him, beating him, did not expect such a sentence to be interrogated.

"You..."

Zhou Du moved his lips, and just as he was about to speak, Shen Xi's curious voice came again: "And then?

" No fingers, no breathing, surrounded by a cold iron room, his voice was cold: "Then I want to resist her."

Zhou Du's hands clenched into fists, his veins bulged, and he said with despair, "But I Every time she resisted her, she would lock me next to her torture room, which was a room made of iron sheets all around. I heard the endless screams right next door, I want to save them, but I can't save anyone."

Zhou Du closed his eyes weakly as he spoke, and he lay paralyzed on the stone wall of the cave and listened to the outside world. The sound of the rain is like listening to the sound of blood washing in the torture chamber many years ago, helpless, desperate, remorse, and unable to get relief.

From then on, he was afraid of the dark, and when he closed his eyes, those people were asking him why he didn't save them, why he wanted to harm them, complaining with blood and tears.

It made him suffer day and night, and made him hate himself so much. He asked himself countless times that if he had been a little braver back then, he would have saved more people, and would he not be in such pain as he is today.

However, no answer was received.
