"Xiao Yu, you need to leave quickly! Don't let those beasts see you and drag you down!" Zheng Chengxiu coughed a few times before blood gushed from his mouth.
"Just go! Don't worry about me!" With all his strength, Zheng Chengxiu pushed Yu Songyu away.
"Zheng Chengxiu, don't you remember what you told me? We promised to be friends! How can you go back on that?"
"It's precisely because we are friends that I can't drag you into this, Xiao Yu! You have to leave now!"
"Shut up! If you consider me a friend, then listen to me!"
It seemed impossible to get Zheng Chengxiu out of Shi Gou Village using normal methods. If this had happened a few days ago, she could have had Wang Zhaoran waiting for them outside the village. But now, the situation had become complicated. In such cold weather, if she didn't save him, he would freeze to death! But if she did save him, how would she arrange for him? Even if she got him out of the village, who would he go to for help? How would he survive?
After pondering for a long time, Yu Songyu finally decided to send him into her space. She found a hammer and smashed the chains open before taking Zheng Chengxiu away.
The heavy snow had fallen all night, erasing any signs of human presence.
"Oh my God, who is this? How is he so badly injured? This is disgusting!" Bai Jie stepped back several paces while pinching her nose, finally getting a clear look at the newcomer.
A thin man lay on the ground, dressed in dark blue clothes that were covered in whip marks; it was evident he had been tortured. His chest and sleeves were stained with blood. The corners of his eyes and mouth were swollen and oozing blood. His glasses were missing one lens, and his face bore numerous cuts from the broken glass.
"Help me first; I'll explain later! Get his clothes off!"
"Take off his clothes? Sister, he's a man!"
"When it comes to life and death, who cares about gender? How about this: you go buy him some clean clothes while I take care of him here!"
Before Bai Jie could refuse, Yu Songyu waved her hand and sent her out of the space.
She then slowly removed his outer garment and filled a basin with Spirit Spring Water to clean his wounds. Afterward, she prepared a cup of spring water for him to drink.
Where is this? Am I dead?
Zheng Chengxiu had just been enveloped in darkness, and now, suddenly thrust into this space, he was struggling to adjust to the light. His eyes were swollen like walnuts, and he could only open them a tiny crack. Through that narrow slit, it seemed as if he had entered another world.
He felt as though he was in a cave, but the furnishings inside were extravagantly luxurious, unlike anything he had ever seen before.
You’re not dead; don’t speak!
Yu Songyu didn’t have time to explain everything to him; she just wanted to quickly tend to his wounds. She needed to return home and let someone know she was safe; otherwise, the Two Grandmothers would surely panic upon realizing she was missing.
After treating Zheng Chengxiu’s injuries, Yu Songyu helped him onto the sofa to rest.
Wait here; I’ll be back soon!
With that, she stepped out of the space and directly arrived at her doorstep.
Xiao Yu, are you okay? Where have you been?
As soon as she opened the door, she was met with Wang Zhaoran’s anxious face.
Are you alright? Are you hurt? Do you know how long I’ve been looking for you? We were really worried about you!
I’m fine; see? I’m perfectly alright! I just went for a stroll. Come on in!
Sure enough, aside from Wang Zhaoran, the Two Grandmothers were also extremely worried.
