CH 81

“I don’t know if this can be eaten?” He looked back and forth, and asked as he walked.

“That’s tea ear* from the camellia tree. You can eat it,” Chu Qianxun took part of the fruit from Qi Yongchun.

She sat leaning against a big tree and took a bite of her tea ear.

The tea ears were crunchy and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness. It was very delicious for people who have been tired all day and night.

Chu Qianxun passed the food in her hand to Ye Peitian who was lying beside her.

Ye Peitian shook his head slightly, “Thank you, I…can’t eat yet.”

When he said that, his hand on the wound on his abdomen subconsciously pulled the clothes tightly.

Although he had not been able to achieve the miraculous level of growth of severed limbs in a short period of time, as in the legends of her previous life, Ye Peitian’s recovery speed was very amazing.

His leg that was torn by the demon a few days ago was fully grown. Except for the pale and transparent skin below the knee, there were basically no other abnormalities visible.

The trauma that looked terrifying the previous night had been mostly healed, and some of them even disappeared.

But at this moment, he curled up slightly, lying in the shade of the shady tree, with his eyes closed with cold sweat hung on his forehead.

Chu Qianxun frowned. The missing internal organs of this man may be growing at high speed in his body at this moment. It must be an unimaginably painful process.

“Since it hurts, why insist on coming out?” Chu Qianxun said.

Ye Peitian opened his eyes, glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth twitched, making Chu Qianxun a little confused.

This person seemed to be always happy.

“Qianxun,” Ye Peitian said, “I want to sleep for a while.”

“Go to sleep, have a good rest.”

“You… stay here.” Ye Peitian avoided her eyes, “Can you not leave?”

“My leg is broken, and it’s not good yet, where can I go?” Chu Qianxun said in an angry manner.

The man next to her got relieved and closed his eyes in peace.

His slightly curly bangs fell down, covering his good-looking eyes, only showing the straight nose and the slightly corners of his mouth raised.

He looked really beautiful. Chu Qianxun quietly looked at the face which was very close for a while, and suddenly wanted to reach out and lift the black bangs to reveal his eyes with long eyelashes.

When she saw him in the previous life, she only felt that this man was brutal and abnormal, and she didn’t even dare to look up at his face.

At this moment, the devil who shook the world was lying on her side obediently, with a harmless smile on his face, sleeping soundly.

“I will kill all the people who hurt you. This time, don’t become a demon,” Chu Qianxun said to Ye Peitian in her heart.

Ye Peitian woke up in a trance and found that Chu Qianxun was missing. He was wounded in that cold and dim warehouse again.

His father was standing in front of him, holding a thick iron chain in his hand.

“Dad?” Ye Peitian was taken aback, “Where is Qianxun?”

“Who is Qianxun, did you have a dream?” His father shook the chain and locked him.

“Dad, what are you doing?”

“Don’t move! You have grown up now, so you don’t even listen to what I say?”

“Peitian, ​​bear with it.” His stepmother stood by and cried, “Your dad has to do this. The neighbors are afraid. If we don’t tie you up, they won’t let our family hide here.”

Ye Peitian faintly felt that something was wrong.

No way! He couldn’t be tied up!

He began to struggle desperately.

“Tsk tsk, the kid was bitten, the bones were exposed, but he is still alive, isn’t he a demon?”

“He must be tied up. What if he suddenly becomes a demon like Old Wang? Old Wang can eat people.”

“Peitian, ​​listen to your parents. We will temporarily tie you up. If you are really fine, you will naturally be released later.”

“Demon. He will become a demon sooner or later.”

Countless familiar faces showed up in the darkness, and those faces floating in the air surrounded Ye Peitian and kept talking.

No, it was not like that.

Ye Peitian was flustered and confused.

“Dad, mom, don’t worry about my brother. I’m hungry, get me something to eat first,” the younger brother’s figure appeared in the distance.

The parents turned their faces together, left him, and walked to his brother with loving smiles on their faces.

“Peiyuan is hungry. Mom will cook for you right away.”

“Hurry up and cook some noodles for my son. He is really pitiful as he was frightened on the road.”

It was dark all around, and only the circle of light was left. A family of three happily sat in the aperture eating fragrant noodles and he was just an outsider, a demon locked in the dark and no one cared.

“Shall I give some to Peitian? Peitian didn’t eat anything,” the stepmother looked at him.

Ye Peitian felt a burst of hunger in his abdomen, a burst of unprecedented hunger cramps in his broken stomach. He began to eagerly yearn for them to give him some food, the kind of steaming food that could warm his intestines, even if only a little.

“Forget it, he doesn’t need to eat.” His father glanced at him, “He seems to have some supernatural power, he won’t die. Now that food is very precious, we have to save. Since he won’t die, don’t waste food.”

There was pain in his heart. He woke up from the nightmare, and opened his eyes suddenly.

In front of him was the land with yellow sand and green grasses.

He looked over the green grass and saw a palm. The owner of the palm was sitting next to him, leaning on a big tree, sleeping soundly.

Her head hung slightly to her side, and the afternoon sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, scattered on the quiet sleeping face.

When this face fell asleep, it looked immature and gentle, and he couldn’t see the sassiness and tenacity it had in the ordinary days.
