"Can you... stay with me for a while..."
Shen Ruoxi's voice was as thin as a mosquito's and paired with her pitiful expression. Even a man might be tempted to feel protective, but Li Fugui felt nothing at all.
Not to mention that the two have not seen each other again for so many years. Li Fugui, who has experienced the baptism of darkness, has long put down this meaningless memory. Shen Ruoxi just now almost killed Li Fugui. It is not Li Fugui who is weak. If he had enough strength, he would have died in the hands of these people long ago.
In Li Fugui's view, not killing Shen Ruoxi to vent his anger was the biggest concession he could make to his old relationship.
But just when Li Fugui was impatient and wanted to refuse, Shen Ruoxi begged again.
"Just...for a little while..."
Seeing Shen Ruoxi biting her lips tightly, her eyes full of tears and her voice almost crying, Li Fugui's heart suddenly moved for the first time.
After looking at the watch in his hand and checking the energy in his body, Li Fugui decided to stay.
After walking out of the alley and finding a relatively clean place, Li Fugui sat down on the steps.
Shen Ruoxi followed Li Fugui with small steps and sat next to Li Fugui.
Perhaps because she was finally far away from the bloody land, her breathing was no longer so rapid, her face gradually turned rosy, and her unique charm became more alluring at this moment.
Li Fugui just took out his cigarette case, counted the four remaining cigarettes, picked one that was not so deflated, and lit it for himself.
In the smoke, Shen Ruoxi suddenly said softly: "Fugui, I'm sorry."
After a slight pause, Li Fugui smiled and said, "You have nothing to apologize to me for, so there's no need to say sorry."
sorry? Li Fugui felt that he did not need to apologize.
Looking at Li Fugui's blood-stained side face, Shen Ruoxi said with a serious face: "I left so suddenly, I thought I was just going to see my dad, but I didn't expect that my brother directly transferred my student status. In the past, I didn’t have time to tell you.”
Listening to Shen Ruoxi's explanation, Li Fugui suddenly felt that the person in front of him was very childish, very childish.
What time is it now? There are monsters that want human lives everywhere, and there are murders and arson activities everywhere. Even just now, they almost died in the hands of a group of thugs. What’s the point of talking about those things at this time? Even if I told him at that time, what would change?
"Yeah." But Li Fugui didn't argue with Shen Ruoxi any more, he simply agreed. In Li Fugui's opinion, apologizing was meaningless, and arguing was also meaningless.
But Shen Ruoxi seemed to have misunderstood, looking nervously at Li Fugui's face like a child who had done something wrong and asked: "You don't know, are you angry?"
Li Fugui suddenly laughed at Shen Ruoxi's words. He turned his head and looked at Shen Ruoxi's clear eyes, wondering what was in this woman's head.
"Why do you think I'm angry?" Li Fugui asked.
"Because you didn't say you forgive me." Looking into Li Fugui's eyes, Shen Ruoxi said seriously.
For a moment, Li Fugui was suddenly curious about what kind of power was behind Shen Ruoxi. He was able to maintain Shen Ruoxi's childlike and pure worldview in this terrifying and dark period. At least this power was comparable to that of Lu Lingyun. The strength of a regiment.
"Okay, I forgive you." Li Fugui smiled and turned his head back.
"Yes." After receiving Li Fugui's answer, Shen Ruoxi nodded with relief and buried her head in her raised knees.
"Are uncle and aunt okay?" Shen Ruoxi asked again.
"Them?" Li Fugui suddenly became confused and said with some sadness, "They left while there was still sun, cancer."
"Ah!" Shen Ruoxi obviously didn't expect to get such an answer, and her expression immediately became a little panicked, "I don't know about this, I don't know about my uncle and aunt..."
"It's okay, that's all in the past." Seeing Shen Ruoxi panicking again, Li Fugui had no choice but to speak again to save trouble.
"I'm sorry..." Shen Ruoxi said weakly, burying her head lower.
"By the way, don't you need me to take you back?" Li Fugui asked, throwing the finished cigarette on his fingertips to the ground and stamping it out.
In Li Fugui's view, Shen Ruoxi didn't have any ability to protect herself. There was no way he could keep wearing it here, so it was better to send her back as soon as possible.
However, the next moment, Shen Ruoxi said something that even Li Fugui could not accept.
"No need, Uncle Shen will find me!" Shen Ruoxi blinked and said firmly.
Li Fugui really didn't understand why someone could be so naive that it was almost stupid. There was fog everywhere in Peicheng. Without the calculations of scientists, Li Fugui wouldn't dare to wander outside. How could Shen Ruoxi be so sure that her Uncle Shen would be found? my own?
However, just when Li Fugui couldn't bear it anymore and was about to teach the naive woman in front of him, a thick voice suddenly came from behind.
"Thieves, don't even think about hurting my young lady!" This voice was extremely thick and steady, but it exploded like thunder in Li Fugui's ears.
Just when Li Fugui felt a little dizzy, a strong sense of crisis bloomed in his heart. Before he could think about it, Li Fugui quickly backed away.
Seeing a flame streaking across the tip of his nose and then blasting a large, invisible hole in the far wall, Li Fugui was frightened and slammed into a big tree.
"Uncle Shen! Stop it!"
When Li Fugui stood up with his eyes shaking, he saw Shen Ruoxi screaming and running towards a man covered in flames.
The man whom Shen Ruoxi called Uncle Shen had his head full of white hair neatly combed behind his back. His face was engraved with traces of time, and he had a solemn look on his face. His straight tuxedo floated slightly in the raging flames.
"How could there be such a powerful fire energy dark warrior!" Looking at the man called Uncle Shen, Li Fugui was frightened.
In his eyes, the fire energy emitted by Uncle Shen was dozens of times stronger than that of Lu Zijing in his team! In front of him, he was like a newborn puppy facing an upright tiger. He would probably be killed by the horse just by looking at him!
The strength of the man in front of me is that he can travel freely in Area 5. It is no wonder that he can protect Shen Ruoxi's childish thoughts in this dark and chaotic era.
"Miss~" Seeing Shen Ruoxi walking towards her with a menacing look, Uncle Shen, who looked horrified and frightened, suddenly put away the flames all over his body and changed his expression to a kind one. The change was so fast that Li Fugui was a little stunned.
"Why did you hit my friend! He just saved my life!" Shen Ruoxi pouted angrily, pointed at Uncle Shen's nose with a white onion finger and cursed.
"Miss, don't be angry, I don't know~" Uncle Shen explained with an innocent look, raising his hands.
"Hmph! Then I don't care, you scared my friend! Apologize to him!" Shen Ruoxi crossed her arms in anger, looking like she would not give up without a reasonable explanation.
"No, no, no!" Li Fugui was frightened when he saw this, and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
The man named Uncle Shen across from me could kill him even if he gave me a casual blow. If he didn't kill me casually, he would be a great kindness to me. I still want him to apologize to me? I'm afraid Li Fugui did this because he was desperate for his life!
"Look, everyone said it's not necessary. Besides, didn't I hurt him?" Uncle Shen said with a smile.
Just kidding, if that previous blow had really hit me, I might have died and even been injured! Li Fugui cursed, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
"Then I don't care. You almost hit him just now. I'm going to take him to complain to my brother!" Shen Ruoxi was not satisfied yet and continued.
"No, no, no, I have to leave first. See you later, Miss Shen!" Li Fugui was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and turned around and ran away.
Because at the moment when Shen Ruoxi turned around, Li Fugui saw the man named Uncle Shen exchange a vague look with the men beside him.
Li Fugui, who has been around in the dark age for many years and has seen all kinds of people, knows very well what that means. If he doesn't leave, let alone Miss Shen Ruoxi, he won't be able to save his life even if the King of Heaven comes!
"Hey! Fugui!" Seeing that Li Fugui was leaving, Shen Ruoxi wanted to persuade him to stay.
However, Li Fugui almost stumbled and cried secretly in his heart, thinking, Auntie, I saved your life, please don't hurt me again.
Then Li Fugui just ran away without looking back. Area 5, cloth-like creatures, and increased strength were all forgotten by him at this moment.
Even Li Fugui didn't dare to be single in his escape route and pace, he was all on guard against the sudden attack by Bao Buqi named Uncle Shen, who was not a man of martial ethics.
But fortunately, Li Fugui's worries were unnecessary. After a few moves, Li Fugui disappeared from everyone's sight.
Seeing Li Fugui disappear from sight, Shen Ruoxi stamped her feet angrily and shouted: "Uncle Shen!"
"Hehe." Listening to Shen Ruoxi's scolding, Uncle Shen laughed, then changed the topic and asked, "By the way, miss, the master of the house got very angry when you sneaked out this time. I’m going to beat your ass hard when I catch you.”
"Ah?!" Shen Ruoxi's face instantly turned pale when she heard that, and she quickly covered her butt, "No, it will be really bad if you hit me again! Uncle Shen, please beg me for mercy~"
"Then, it depends on whether you will listen to me, miss." Uncle Shen narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.
Shen Ruoxi stretched out her hands to hug Uncle Shen's arms, bent her eyes and showed a harmless smile: "Uncle Shen, don't worry! Ruoxi is the best!"
"Haha, miss you!" Uncle Shen smiled helplessly, and suddenly asked nonsensically, "Miss, why did you run so far? You never came to such a far place in the past."
"It's all Jiang Shicheng's gang's fault. My wrist still hurts!" Shen Ruoxi stretched out her wrist as if complaining.
Looking at the red mark on Shen Ruoxi's wrist, Uncle Shen's face turned cold and his voice was inaudible: "Jiang Shicheng? It seems that he can't be kept..."
"What? Uncle Shen, what did you say?"
"It's nothing. I said that the head of the family is preparing to leave Peicheng recently. Please don't run around these days."
"Really? I'm finally leaving! I'm tired of staying in this damn place!"
