Chapter 3, I will bite you to death and turn you into a human meat bun

Upon hearing this, Bai Xin smiled and said: "This is what you promised. Don't worry, once I go out, I will keep my distance from you. From now on, neither of us owes anything to the other, and we will each go our separate ways. Since we have agreed on this, I will let you stay here for the time being, providing you with good food and drink until you recover."

Taking a bite of the carrot in her hand, she shrugged and explained, "If there is something to eat, just make do with it. I swear, these are the best things I have to offer."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xindian raised an eyebrow and said: "I enjoy saving people, I like making others owe me a favor, is that reason acceptable?"

Bai Xinran glanced over and said: "I see you look like a human, but how can you be as foolish as a pig? This place may be nice, but would you be willing to spend your whole life here without speaking, dying an old man in this place?"

Bai Xinran smiled broadly. A clever man indeed knows the way!

She still understands the principle of self-preservation

The man's expression was dark and foreboding, and she faintly sensed an inexplicable chill surrounding her. However, there was nothing for her to fear in this situation. This man had a leg injury and was somewhat disabled, and his internal energy had been severely damaged. If it came to a fight, she was ninety percent confident that she could kill him

Please tell me.

Knowing this, she had never gone out to see. ... Because certain bad intuitions in her heart told her that curiosity might kill her

At first, she thought that some villagers were taking goods to the city under the cover of night. However, as time went on, she felt increasingly suspicious. Maoshan Village is situated in a perilous terrain; even during the day, one must be particularly cautious when leaving the mountain, as a misstep could lead to falling off a cliff or getting trapped in a marsh. Venturing out at such a late hour would surely be akin to seeking death

Yesterday, the village chief openly searched the village with outsiders, and it is likely that the person they are looking to capture is him. If he is discovered in his own home, it is estimated that not only will he face dire consequences, but she will also be implicated.

The man gritted his teeth: "Why wasn't it cooked?"

Rest assured, I will not engage in unscrupulous acts, and naturally, I will not extort you. I simply wish to ask for a small favor, which is just a minor task for you. Regardless of whether he can see clearly, she waved her little finger in front of the man.

In the dimly lit room, the moonlight cast upon the man's profile, as pure and translucent as white jade. However, his eyes, deep and still like the waters of a pond, exuded a chilling aura that could not help but evoke a sense of coldness.

Before she was certain she could leave Maoshan Village, regardless of the village chief's abnormalities or the secrets hidden within Maoshan Village, she must not attract anyone's attention and must continue to remain low-key

When it comes to her proud moments, Bai Xindran cannot help but smile smugly

How would you like me to repay you

Fortunately, this man was relatively obedient; he did not utter a word until the sound of the wheels behind the house disappeared, and even his breathing was quieter than hers.

The man was slightly taken aback. It seemed he did not expect that the woman in front of him, who was behaving in such an unusual manner, would be able to perceive his thoughts

The next morning

Bai Xinduan stood up from the stool and walked towards him, glaring as she said: "Foolish pig, kindness is kindness, and reluctance is reluctance, but I cannot ruin my entire life for the sake of kindness and reluctance, can I? If I stay here for a lifetime, not only will I have no freedom, but I will also have to live my life as a deaf-mute! Moreover, if I leave, I can save quite a bit of food for the villagers, so they won't have to worry about me starving to death."

Just as she straightened her chest and turned around proudly

Moreover, those voices passed by her front gate without any hesitation. Bai Xinyan was aware that the people passing by were undoubtedly aware of her deafness, which allowed them to be so unreserved, showing no concern about disturbing her

Just take me with you when you leave Maoshan Village

"What does it have to do with you?" Bai Xinyan frowned, preparing to lift her foot, but suddenly paused, turned her head, and in the dim light, her disdainful gaze met the man's terrifyingly deep black eyes. She spoke, "If you want to survive, keep this secret for me. Remember, I am your savior, and I despise those who repay kindness with enmity... However, on the other hand, although I do not know why the village chief and the others want to capture you, I know you dare not show your face, so I am naturally not afraid of you leaking the secret. Besides, I have been deaf and mute for twenty years; who would believe I am a normal person? Hehe!"... However, on the other hand, although I do not know why the village chief and the others want to capture you, I know you dare not show your face, so I am naturally not afraid of you leaking the secret. Besides, I have been deaf and mute for twenty years; who would believe I am a normal person? Hehe!"

Shh! Seeing the man turn his face towards her, she raised her index finger to her lips and lowered her voice to the minimum, "If you don't want to die, be quiet and absolutely do not make a sound, do you understand?"

Well

Bai Xindran had long been accustomed to the dim light, her gaze fixed intently on the man's thin lips, pressed into a straight line, fearing that he might speak.

The man subtly twitched the corner of his mouth. His gloomy gaze swept back and forth over her shabby and unkempt appearance, leaving one to wonder whether he could see her clearly or not

As she stood up, she patted the dust off her knees and was about to return to the main room, but as she turned around, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist

The man looked at her with a slightly surprised expression, his gaze both cold and complex: "You can walk by yourself!"

Sitting up from the floor, she cautiously crawled into the inner room in the dark. A beam of moonlight filtered through the hole in the roof, illuminating the room, and she could see a man sitting on the bed, his expression unclear, yet he appeared particularly focused

When Bai Xindran brought two carrots to the man, she saw him glaring at her with a dark expression, pointing at the two carrots and coldly asking: "Is this what you call delicious and enjoyable?"

Then why do you want to go out

"Why are you pretending to be deaf and mute?" The man spoke again, but this time his voice was noticeably softer, low and deep.

In the dim light, the man's thin lips twitched once more

Sit down! The man spoke almost with a sense of command

Upon hearing this, Bai Xindian sighed and sat down on a low stool in the corner, seemingly explaining with resignation: "I have tried, but I cannot get out... The several roads leading to Maoshan Village are not only treacherous, but also secretly watched by people who keep an eye on the villagers coming in and out. I suppose your injuries are a result of this. As a deaf-mute, if I were to rashly run out, it would only raise suspicion."

In the darkness, the sound of knuckles cracking echoed.

Bai Xindran furrowed her brows involuntarily and, without a second thought, shook off his hand. "Big brother, could you be a bit more polite? Has no one taught you the principle that 'one must bow their head under a roof'? Although my roof is shabby, it can still be considered a shelter. If you continue to treat your life-saver this way, be careful that I might just bite you to death and use you as a meat bun! You should know that I haven't eaten meat in two years; I only had dog meat this morning to break my fast."

After a long silence, the man finally spoke softly, "Nonsense!"

Forget it, forget it, I can't be bothered to say more to you. You don't need to worry about my matters. Just tell me, will you help with this favor or not

The man fell silent for a moment, his gaze deep and cold, and suddenly asked: "Do you know what they are doing?"

Bai Xinran spread her hands, her face full of innocence: "Big brother, cooking requires not only water but also firewood. As long as one fills their stomach, it doesn't matter whether the food is raw or cooked. Why go through the trouble of chopping wood and boiling water?"

Every half month, the sound of rolling wheels passes by her courtyard gate, circling around her dilapidated earthen house and gradually fading away behind it

Did you not say that they have been kind to you? If they have been kind, why did you leave?

The man's gaze remained as still as dead water, and his expression was even more inscrutable, making it truly impossible to discern what he was thinking. Just as Bai Xindran lost her patience and was ready to confront him, intending to drive him out, she suddenly heard the man respond in a low voice.

Since they have shown you kindness, why do you not hand me over to them

Bai Xin is suffering from a headache. Why is this man so fond of being picky and choosy

At night, through the dilapidated roof, Bai Xin was plagued by insomnia

The man sat upright, his body swaying slightly, and his stern face suddenly resembled someone who had fallen into a cesspool

Bai Xindran shook her head decisively and chuckled, saying: "I don't know. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. Didn't I just say that? I detest those who repay kindness with enmity. Whatever the village chief and the others do, I will not inquire about it; I only know that they have been kind to me. So if you want to know the answer, it is best to ask them yourself, and do not think of using me as a means to your end."

Within two years, every half month, she would experience insomnia, not because she couldn't fall asleep herself, but because the noise outside prevented her from sleeping
