I was a hunter in ancient times

"No, it will tear your wound."

Zhou Du hugged Shen Xi to his knees, and after Shen Xi was slightly stunned, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed Zhou Du's chest, wanting to get out of his embrace.

"It doesn't matter," Zhou Du wrapped his arms around his slender waist, held him tightly in his arms, not allowing him to leave, and whispered, "Stay at ease."

"you……"

There was no way to hide, no way to avoid, Shen Xi who didn't dare to struggle had no choice but to rest her head on Zhou Du's chest like a child, snuggling into his arms, her breath was full of his smell, listening Seeing his never-so-gentle tone, his trembling and cold body miraculously calmed down.

"Are you still afraid like this?" Zhou Du's five fingers were always together with Shen Xi's five fingers, he gently squeezed the back of Shen Xi's slightly cool hand, and asked softly.

It is precisely because Zhou Du is also afraid of the dark, so he understands how uncomfortable the feeling of helplessness, panic and suffocation is. He, who is about to enter his [-]s, has not been able to get out of this shadow so far, let alone a child, Shenxi.

Zhou Du closed his eyes weakly. He had stayed with Shen Xi for so long, but he didn't even know that Shen Xi was as afraid of the dark as he was. Shenxi in the movie, to help him expel the fear brought by the darkness.

The distance between the two at this moment can be said to be skin-to-skin contact, so Shen Xi can feel Zhou Du's jaw when he raises his head a little, as long as Zhou Du speaks and breathes out, he can feel it.

Staying alone in the dark is still different from staying in the dark with two people. Shen Xi's hand tightly held by Zhou Du gradually felt a bit of warmth pick up, and his disordered breathing gradually calmed down.

"It's better." One of Shen Xi's hands was pulled by Zhou Du, and the other hand was placed on the lapel of Zhou Du's chest, feeling his heartbeat again and again, and his restless heart inexplicably settled down.

Zhou Du gave a soft "um" and relaxed a little. While he was helping Shen Xi resist the darkness, Shen Xi was also helping him expel his fear.

In the darkness, Zhou Du didn't notice how gentle his voice was at this moment, so gentle that it seemed as if the ice could be melted by him.

Shen Xi's heart trembled again, and his fingers gripping Zhou Du's skirt tightened again, as if Zhou Du's shell had been opened, revealing his soft heart that he never showed to others.

In order to verify this idea, Shen Xi raised his head, and whispered to Zhou Du's chin: "Can you get closer."

"Is that so?" Zhou Du immediately lowered his head without hesitation, and asked with his chin pressed against the hair on the side of his neck.

Shen Xi's throat was tight, his heart was almost numb by Zhou Du's gentle voice, and his face was slightly hot. How could he still remember the fear brought by the darkness, and he said in a trembling voice: "Can... can you do it again? Come closer."

Zhou Du didn't suspect anything, and lowered his head again, his cheek pressed against the hair beside Shen Xi's ear, and asked again: "Is this okay?"

"Come down a little more, I want to hear you talking in my ear." Shen Xi's heart shrank again, fearing that Zhou Du would not agree, he begged again, "Is it okay?"

"Okay," Zhou Du didn't refuse, and moved his cool lips down to Shen Xi's auricle, and asked softly, "Is that so?"

"Hmm." The gentle voice and slightly hot breath swirled in the cochlea, not only Su Ma Shenxi's heart, but even his whole body was lost by Su.

In the darkness, Shen Xi's face became more and more red and hot, especially his ears, which were so red that they were bleeding. Fortunately, he couldn't see his fingers in the cave, and Zhou Du couldn't see anything, otherwise Shen Xi would have wanted to find him. Drill into a seam.

Zhou Du adjusted his sitting posture so that he could stick to Shen Xi's ear more conveniently, thought for a while, in order to relieve Shen Xi's fear and also to break the silence, he took the initiative to ask: "Shen Xi, why are you afraid of the dark. "

In his impression, Shenxi is optimistic, cheerful, passionate, like a little sun, as if he can sweep away all the haze in the world, it is hard for someone like him to be as afraid of the dark as he is.

Zhou Du has always disliked prying into other people's privacy, so no matter how vaguely Shen Xi told him about the past before, he didn't have to pry into it, but at this moment, he was eager to know what the reason was. Let his little sun become so fragile.

Shen Xi didn't answer, and remained silent for a long time, so long that his palms that had just warmed up had a tendency to turn cold again, and even his body couldn't help shaking.

Zhou Du held his hand tightly, pressed his lips against his ear again, and gently comforted him: "Don't recall, don't talk if you don't want to."

Shen Xi buried his head on Zhou Du's shoulder, bit the clothes on his shoulder, and restrained his trembling teeth. After a long time, his voice was hoarse and soft, as if he was trying to endure something, hesitatingly said : "...they... locked me...in the cellar...and didn't let me out."

After saying these words, Shen Xi seemed to be relieved, and burst into tears on Zhou Du's shoulder, speaking incoherently: "Zhou Du, I'm so scared, I'm so scared, I can't see the light, No one came to save me, there was a thunderstorm, it was going to rain, and the rain flooded in, I was so cold."

Although Shen Xi spoke in a confusing manner, Zhou Du managed to piece together some information through his words.

According to Shen Xi, he came to Taoyuan Village ten years ago. Ten years ago, he should have been only eight years old. Through all the details, Zhou Du knew that he had traveled north and south with his uncle. Xi is only about five or six years old.

Zhou Du couldn't figure out who was so cruel to lock a five or six year old child in the cellar.

Zhou Du's heart throbbed again and again, and the strength of his arms around Shen Xi couldn't help but intensify, and some bad scenes from the past kept reappearing in front of his eyes.

A bad premonition came to his mind, he twitched his lips, but he still didn't dare to ask Shen Xi who locked him in the cellar.

He dreaded hearing those three words that made him almost breathless.

He just hugged Shen Xi like this, his whole body was stiff, and he didn't dare to move. It wasn't until Shen Xi was out of breath from crying, and coughed from choking, that he let go of the hand that was holding him tightly, and climbed onto his emaciated bed. On his back, he calmed down for him, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Hey, don't cry, it's all over."

Shen Xi wept and wet Zhou Du's entire shoulders, crying until he was choked and out of breath, until he heard Zhou Du's comfort, then he jumped out of those dark and damp memories.

He grabbed Zhou Du's clothes, sobbed softly, and twitched the ground like a sharp knife, piercing Zhou Du's heart one by one.

But he couldn't cry out because of the pain, and he didn't dare to cry out.

After a while, Shen Xi had cried enough, he wiped his crying face with his sleeve, raised his hand to touch Zhou Du's cheek, and said in an anxious voice: "Did I scare you, why are you so cold. "

Zhou Du shook his head: "No."

"Does that mean I've touched your wound?" Then Shen Xi asked nervously.

Zhou Du shook his head again: "No."

Shen Xi noticed that Zhou Du's tone was a little cold, he didn't know where he had offended Zhou Du, so he didn't dare to move or speak.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Du couldn't feel his movements, and asked in a low voice, "Sleepy?"

Shen Xi imitated his tone and said: "No."

Zhou Du lowered his head to see his expression, but couldn't see anything: "Why don't you speak?"

Shen Xi raised his head and wanted to look into Zhou Du's eyes, but he couldn't see anything. He felt depressed and asked, "Zhou Du, may I ask why you are afraid of the dark?"

Shen Xi is not blind, Zhou Du lights so many oil lamps and candles in the room every night, if he didn't know that he is afraid of the dark, he would have lived in vain for so many years.

But he dared not ask.

Usually, when he gets a little closer to Zhou Du, he will open his shell to bite people, let alone break his shell to pry into the secrets of his heart.

He could only pry his shell bit by bit to get a glimpse of his soft heart, but tonight Zhou Du managed to open the shell by himself, showing him his soft side, and he wanted to go in and see See what's in there.

Zhou Du's fingertips on Shen Xi's back trembled slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he still uttered two words: "Yes."

Shen Xi immediately asked: "Then why are you afraid of the dark?"

In Shen Xi's eyes, Zhou Du should be the kind of person who is not afraid of anything, even if there are mountains of swords and flames ahead, he can't figure out what makes such a fearless person afraid of a small dark.

Zhou Du let out a heavy breathing sound, and hugged Shen Xi and changed his posture again. This posture is said to be hugging, but more like lying down, but now the two of them are in the dark, and neither of them cares.

"Shen Xi, I'm the son of a human trafficker." Zhou Du loosened his arms around Shen Xi, and even let go of the hands covering his back, with a look of letting go and giving up on himself.

Shen Xi was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Zhou Du to have such a life experience, after waiting for a while, Zhou Du didn't speak, and asked again: "And then?"

Zhou Du has been waiting, waiting for Shen Xi to hate him, or push him away, insult him, or beat him, but he did not expect such a sentence to be asked.

"you……"

Zhou Du moved his lips, and just about to speak, Shen Xi's curious voice came again: "And then?"

"Then," Zhou Du followed his voice as if he had returned to the iron room where he couldn't reach his fingers, couldn't breathe, and was surrounded by coldness many years ago, his voice was cold: "Then I want to resist her."

Zhou Du's hands were clenched into fists, his veins were bulging, and he said in a desperate voice: "But every time I resist her, she will lock me next to her torture room, which is a room surrounded by iron sheets. She will break the hands and feet of those kidnapped and deceived people in the torture room, and I will listen to the endless screams next door. I want to save them, but I can't save anyone. .”

Zhou Du closed his eyes powerlessly as he spoke, and he slumped on the rock wall of the cave, listening to the sound of rain outside the cave, just like listening to the sound of blood washing in the torture chamber many years ago, helpless, desperate, regretful, unable to get relief.

From then on, he was afraid of the dark, and when he closed his eyes, those people were asking him why he didn't save them, why he wanted to harm them, complaining with blood and tears.

It made him suffer day and night, and made him hate himself so much. He asked himself countless times that if he had been a little braver back then, he would have saved more people, and would he not be in such pain as he is today.

However, no answer was received.
