Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke first.
Cai Xiaotang opened her mouth, looked into his eyes, and suddenly swallowed the words that were on her lips.
What to say?
Ask him where to find the antidote?
Will it hurt?
Remind him to pay attention to safety?
Cai Xiaotang had ten thousand words hidden in her heart, but in the end she just asked: "Can you really bring the antidote back?"
"Um."
Li Xiao's eyes darkened, he broke away from her hand and strode away, feeling a little disappointed.
I thought she was going to say something else...
It seems that she is much better than him when it comes to "keeping distance"...
…
Two days later——
The intricate streets are brightly lit.
It was already late at night, but people everywhere could be seen gathering together to drink and gamble.
Young men in twos and threes standing arm-in-arm on the roadside, whistling at women passing by.
This is the most chaotic downtown area in the center of the city.
On the side of the road, a middle-aged man who looked unremarkable pulled a little boy and turned around and entered a building.
The two of them went up the stairs to the third floor.
The man opened the door quickly and pushed the little boy in. Then he followed in and slammed the door hard.
After locking the door, the man breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"Father, do we want to get out of here?"
The boy next to the man asked, his tone calm, not at all like a child of this age.
It was none other than Xiao Shi.
Viper slowly breathed a sigh of relief, sat down against the door, and then replied in a deep voice: "We will take the boat tomorrow morning, and someone will deliver the car early tomorrow morning."
As Viper spoke, he lifted up his clothes, took out another packet of medicine powder, and threw it to Xiao Shi.
"Help me apply the medicine."
His tone was somewhat commanding.
Xiaoshi didn't say anything. He bent down and picked up the medicine powder as usual, and squatted next to the poisonous snake.
But her eyes couldn't help but look at the pockets on his body where things could be stored.
The medicine he fed Tiantian that day must have been the kind of medicine usually used to punish people...
I remember that the medicine has an antidote!
I just don’t know where it was placed!
Just as Xiaoshi was thinking about it, his shoulder was suddenly pushed hard by a poisonous snake, causing him to sit heavily on the ground!
"Damn it! Will you apply medicine? Can't you be gentler!"
The poisonous snake was stung by the medicine powder and it hurt, so it cursed Xiao Shi angrily.
"I'm sorry, father." Xiaoshi immediately admitted his mistake, climbed up from the ground without saying a word, and squatted back next to the poisonous snake.
Seeing that he was so obedient, Viper felt better and nodded with satisfaction.
"Xiao Shi... don't blame me for being cruel to you. You will inherit my position in the future. Although I am a little depressed now, it is only temporary. When we leave here, it won't take long before I can make a comeback! Come on! At that time, you will know my good intentions in cultivating you..."
Viper looked like a good father who spoke with sincerity and sincerity, and looked at Xiaoshi with a bit of pride in his eyes.
It was indeed the right thing to keep this kid here...
Doesn’t this mean he is raising his own son?
It's a pity that I can't give birth...otherwise, how can I take advantage of this kid?
Viper secretly cursed a few times, and when he saw that Xiaoshi had retracted his hand, he put down his clothes.
Xiaoshi stood up and looked at the viper with hesitant eyes.
Then he couldn't help but asked: "Father, the medicine you gave Tiantian that day was..."
Before he finished speaking, the viper's eyes had already glanced over coldly.
Xiao Shi immediately understood the situation and closed his mouth.
Viper stared at Xiaoshi for a few seconds, then suddenly snorted and laughed again.
"Are you still thinking about that little girl?"
He asked, and the next second, his face suddenly changed again, and he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Xiaoshi!
"How many times have I told you! Don't take women to heart! You want to be a love interest when you are young? Do you have the qualifications! If I hadn't raised you up! You would have died a long time ago! What? You Want to taste that medicine too? Have you never seen anyone else taking it?"
The viper cursed loudly, as if venting the cowardice he had suffered in the past few days.
Xiaoshi was kicked by him and staggered, but he didn't say a word, but there was some hope in his eyes.
It is indeed that kind of medicine!
If so, he must have the antidote!
Xiaoshi silently took two steps back and apologized obediently as before: "I'm sorry, father."
The viper snorted coldly, and then did not continue to curse. Instead, he stood up unsteadily, walked towards the bedroom alone, and threw the small stone in the living room.
Xiaoshi glanced around, not dissatisfied, and walked towards the sofa not far away.
The house was not fancy, it was even small and shabby.
Entering is a small hall, connected to a bedroom.
The smaller door on the side looks like a bathroom.
There was nothing in the entire living room, just a sofa just big enough to accommodate a child.
Xiao Shi sat on the sofa expressionlessly, staring out the window.
There were no lights on in the room, and the sound insulation effect of the glass was not good. You could vaguely hear the noise from downstairs.
Not long after, loud snoring could be heard in the room.
after an hour--
The snoring became louder and louder.
Xiaoshi's eyes flickered for a moment, then he stood up carefully and walked towards the bedroom.
The door was not closed tightly, and he pushed it gently, revealing a large gap.
Xiaoshi held his breath, stepped lightly, and walked towards a backpack by the wall.
He carefully took out the backpack without making any noise.
After returning to the living room, he opened the zipper and quickly searched for it.
But there was nothing in the backpack except some simple cash and medicine.
Not to mention the antidote he was looking for.
"not here……"
Xiaoshi muttered and put the bag back to its original position.
The viper was still lying on the bed, snoring loudly.
Xiaoshi stared at him for a few seconds, held his breath, and walked towards him.
As he got closer, he could see clearly that he was holding a gun in his left hand.
"Boom!"
The sound of heartbeat was unusually obvious in the quiet environment.
Xiaoshi pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and then slowly stretched out his hand towards the poisonous snake.
If the antidote is not in the bag...then it could only be on him...
The child's hands were very dexterous and he easily reached into the pocket of the viper's clothes.
As soon as he reached in, he touched something hard, like a small bottle.
"This is it!"
Xiao Shi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he scanned his pocket with his fingers, but didn't touch anything.
He was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly.
Not this pocket!
It should be the pocket hidden in the clothes behind this position!
