Chapter 10, rescue again

The girl with a ponytail smiled as she reached into her backpack for paper and a pen, saying, "This is how it should be. In life, the most important thing is to be open-minded; just try to see things from a broader perspective."

I thought I was going to die, while Zhu Bingwen and Xia Xi, this pair of scoundrels, believed that their long-cherished wish was within reach

She spoke as she handed me the paper and pen

The girl with a ponytail reached out her hand and touched my belly

This is not an interrogative sentence, but an exclamatory sentence

I was so embarrassed that my face turned red, yet I did not dare to retort; I could only force a bitter smile filled with regret. Seeing my sincere attitude, she did not continue to mock me. Instead, she propped her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Oh, Blood Gathering Gu? I have never heard of such a thing; it seems quite impressive, doesn't it?"

However, the nickname "Poisonous Beauty" is quite fitting for this woman

I was filled with shock, and at that moment, Xia Xi suddenly grabbed my neck, then turned around and shouted at the girl with the ponytail: "Since you dare to meddle, state your name. I, the Poisonous Beauty's subordinate, never kill nameless people."

The girl with a ponytail suddenly clapped her hands and smiled at me, saying: "Ah, your name is Lu Yan, right?"

Please do not give up on me

The girl with a ponytail kicked me away with a look of disgust, covering her nose as she said, "Hmm, how many days has it been since you last took a shower?"

I fell straight to the ground, landing in a heap, dazed and confused, and it took me quite a while to manage to get back up. Just as I was propping myself up, I felt a fragrant breeze wafting towards me, and then a charming little face appeared before me.

Under the illumination of the surrounding torches, I caught sight of a somewhat alluring young girl. She was dressed in a blue and white sports outfit, wearing white sneakers. Her long, smooth black hair was simply tied back into a ponytail, and she carried a simple small backpack on her shoulder, resembling a high school girl on an outing.

While I was lost in my thoughts, the girl with the ponytail also put her hands on her hips and proudly declared: "I, the little lady, will not change my name, nor will I alter my surname. My name is Lu... Ah, pfft, pfft, pfft, I promised to hide my identity and flee to another place, what am I doing? Oh dear, what am I even talking to a small fry like you for!"

In fact, I believe I can still salvage myself, right

Her technique is quite unique, somewhat resembling the hand gestures found in Buddhism, specifically the kind associated with Guanyin.

The heart of a woman is the most poisonous of all

Zhu Bingyi was imposing and aggressive, while Xia Xi appeared somewhat cautious, instinctively moving slowly closer to my side

Just when I had no idea what was going on, I heard the voice of the girl with the ponytail coming from beside me: "Put down the person, or I'll kill you!"

Without turning her head, she waved her hand casually, and the fierce and menacing Zhu Bingyi was pinned half a meter behind her. A second or two later, I was astonished to see the wild grass on the ground growing wildly as if it had consumed a fertilizer, spreading along Zhu Bingyi's feet and extending all the way to his body.

As she finished speaking, Xia Xi gently traced her fingers along the rope, and those thick ropes immediately snapped. Following that, she pulled me and retreated into the bamboo grove behind us

With tears in my eyes, the girl with the ponytail looked at me for a long time without saying a word, then pretended to leave: "Don't you have any last words or anything to say to your family? If that's the case, when you die later, I will bury you, and that will be it—resting in peace, I understand!"

After struggling for a few seconds, she lifted her head and said to me with a sympathetic expression: "Little brother, I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that the eighteen parasitic insects you mentioned have now been reduced to one; the bad news is that your body is riddled with wounds and has lost its functions, but you are unaware of it because the parasitic insect has anesthetized you. Once it leaves your body, you will be dead..."

I know that this ponytailed girl is my only hope for survival, so I set aside my pride and hope that she can show me a way to live

In summary, she is a beautiful girl who catches the eye at first glance

Caution

My heart was in my throat, and I instinctively shouted out loud, only to be immediately grabbed by the neck by that woman, Xia Xi, rendering me unable to say a word

I also dare not conceal it, recounting to her the experiences of these past few days one by one

I was grabbed by the neck by that woman, my flesh stinging with pain. Upon hearing her words, I couldn't help but want to laugh, as they sounded quite peculiar, almost as if she were a seasoned streetwise character.

However, I soon realized that the girl with the ponytail did not need my reminders at all

My heart was like dead ashes, and tears fell down like raindrops. However, seeing that she was really about to leave, I hurriedly called out to her, saying: "Don't go, don't go, do you have a pen? I want to write a letter, and you can help me send it to my family."

What exactly is going on here

She is not a girl who knows how to comfort others, and in the end, it brought me to tears

I instinctively glanced in the direction from which the sound was coming.

After listening, the ponytailed girl glanced at me with disdain and said, "Look at you men, all the same, always thinking with your lower bodies. Now you're suffering the consequences, aren't you?"

It seems that I have reached the limit of what I can contain in my stomach, and something is about to burst forth. However, at this moment, I feel as if the air in the entire space has solidified.

I felt as if I had been struck by lightning, sitting down abruptly on the ground, my head buzzing as if a swarm of wasps were swirling around. After a while, I finally regained my senses, grabbed the girl's pant leg, and cried out: "Help me, Miss, you must save me!"

Upon hearing this, I quickly withdrew my filthy hands and said with a bitter smile: "I have been captured by them for over ten days, and I have been stuck in that dark and sunless cellar the entire time. Where would I find a place to bathe?"

Ah?

Oh dear, I am just a young man in my twenties, how did I end up in a situation where I have to speak my last words

Even the whistling cold wind vanished in an instant

Those wild grasses are incredibly resilient, tightly constraining Zhu Bingyi.

The girl with the horse tail saw me and felt somewhat embarrassed, yet she did not cling to me persistently. Instead, her expression improved a little, and she kindly advised, "Well, regarding this matter of poison, I do understand a bit, but I am not an expert. Moreover, in your case, the functions of your internal organs have basically deteriorated, and you are merely being sustained by the breath of that insect. There is truly little hope... Um, if you have any unfulfilled wishes or final words, I can help you with that."

I was taken aback for a moment and said that I am from Guizhou Jinping

I took a moment to consider what to write, and at that moment, the girl with the ponytail suddenly said: "Hey, why do I feel like you are all alone—little brother, where are you from?"

The ponytailed girl pouted her lips and disdainfully said, "Who saved you? I was just passing by, inquiring about the situation; if it weren't for these two annoying guys, do you think I would care about you?"

He spoke while striding purposefully towards the girl with the ponytail

It was probably because she found my attitude agreeable that the ponytailed girl asked me what was going on.

She spoke rather rudely, which made me feel a bit awkward; however, having worked in sales, I have endured my fair share of disdain and do not mind it, chuckling and offering a smile.

Although this elusive ponytail girl is formidable, she is not frightening. I recall how she captured Zhu Bingyi and drove away Xia Xi, which can be considered as saving me, so I hurriedly said to her: "Thank you, thank you for saving my life"

I exclaimed in shock, "Ah?"

Why do I feel that as she twisted her body, Zhu Bingyi missed his target completely

She is very beautiful, with enchanting eyes, yet her delicate little face exudes a sense of purity. It is a blend of qualities that creates an indescribable charm.

Just such a simple sentence, after a slight pause, Xia Xi, whom I regarded as a monster, actually threw me to the ground without hesitation and ran into the forest without looking back

I was taken aback and instinctively recoiled, only to be met with the ponytailed girl grinning at me, revealing a set of white teeth: "What are you afraid of? I won't eat you."

I endured the relentless pain swirling in my stomach and looked on with concern at the girl with the ponytail not far away, worried that she might be harmed by that scoundrel Zhu Bingyi. To my surprise, as that guy rushed towards her and raised his hand to grab her, my vision blurred, and the ponytailed girl inexplicably appeared a few meters behind Zhu Bingyi.

How did she manage to do it

Fortunately, that direction is in my front side, allowing me to see the other person's appearance even though I am tied up

Zhu Bingyi, however, broke into a sinister smile and said to the girl with the ponytail: "Little sister, it is so dark now, you should not walk on the night road, otherwise it could lead to a lot of trouble..."

Holding my summer evening, I was startled by this scene, shivering and trembling as I exclaimed: "Is this ... ... Qingmu Yigang?"

I previously witnessed the astonishing skills of this ponytailed girl and thought she must be quite formidable. Remembering my nearly bursting stomach, I hurriedly sought her help to take a look at my condition

It seems that you think I am not unfortunate enough. The ponytailed girl revealed a devilish smile and sweetly said to me: "Additionally, let me tell you an even more unfortunate piece of news—if it weren't for my suppression, it would have come out just now..."

She was muttering to herself, unaware of what she was saying, and at that moment, I noticed Zhu Bingyi not far behind her seemingly pulling out a gleaming sharp knife from his bosom, lunging towards the girl's back with it

Just when we all thought everything was about to come to an end, a voice as clear and sweet as mountain spring water suddenly broke the tense and serious atmosphere on the scene

I was originally in great pain, but upon seeing that girl, I felt that the pain in my body seemed to be less unbearable. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Zhu Bingyi and Xia Xi, that pair of scoundrels, glaring fiercely. Forgetting about myself, I instinctively shouted at her: "Don't come over, hurry and run!"
