Yesterday was like Death

"Xi Zonghe! Xiaohe!" I walked across the dark lawn, not daring to turn on the flashlight, so I just bent down and called his name.

After yelling several times, he was suddenly strangled by someone from behind.Before I could exclaim in surprise, I could already smell a familiar breath from the tip of my nose, and Xi Zonghe's voice came from my ears.

"It's me, shh, be quiet!" He put his arms around me and pulled me to squat in the thick grass beside him, "Shut up."

I shut my mouth tightly and nodded at him.

We hid in the grass for about ten minutes, and the noise gradually subsided, but we could vaguely hear the conversations of several strange men.They seemed to be looking for something, or someone, kicking open one door after another, and the search circle gradually spread outward.

Suddenly, there was a trampling sound from the lawn, and Xi Zonghe and I tensed up involuntarily.We held our breath and paid attention to the direction of our footsteps. When the visitor got closer and closer to us, the hands that Xi Zonghe and I had always held each other also held each other more and more tightly.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind, and there was also a little regret.

If I had known earlier, I should have learned from Sang Qing, and had written a suicide note before coming to this kind of place, so as not to have a single word after death.

If I had known... I shouldn't have quarreled just now, why did I quarrel with a fool?I should have yelled "Rong Shen is my father", and then enjoyed Xi Zonghe's thunderous expression on the sidelines, and took a photo of it as a souvenir.

However, there are not so many "knowing earlier" in the world.

I looked at Xi Zonghe's blurred profile in the dark, thinking that if we die later, we can still hold each other's hands when we die, which would be a romantic way to die.

"Mr. Xi? Are you there?"

While I was thinking wildly, a voice came from afar, which sounded like Harlan's.I was overjoyed, thinking that he had broken through the siege to save us, and was about to stand up when Xi Zonghe held him down.

He made a gesture of "be safe and calm", then glanced at Harlan who was getting closer, and said in a low voice, "I'm here!"

Harlan stopped immediately and pointed his gun at him warily, "Who's there?"

Xi Zonghe raised his hands and stood up: "It's me."

"Mr. Xi?" Harun was full of surprises, "Great, I've been looking for you! Come on, let's get out of here together."

He stretched out his hand towards Xi Zonghe, as if he wanted to escort him away.

Xi Zonghe looked around carefully, walked towards him, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Harlan shrugged: "I don't know the situation either, let's talk about it after we leave."

"OK." Xi Zonghe may have confirmed that there is no danger, turned around and waved to me in the grass, "Gu Tang..."

Tonight's series is really too thrilling, so hurry up and get out of here to find rescue and confirm the safety of others.

Just as I was about to go out with a sigh of relief, an unexpected scene happened.In the darkness, taking advantage of Xi Zonghe's unpreparedness, the tall black man hit Xi Zonghe hard on the back of the head with the butt of his gun.

Xi Zonghe let out a muffled snort, and instantly collapsed.

I opened my eyes wide, my mind went blank, I couldn't care about anything for a moment, and rushed over in shock and anger.

Before filming "Lion", I received some Sanda training, and I also received guidance from Shang Yan and Wu Zhi during the filming.But in the eyes of a real expert, my flamboyance is not enough.I punch Harlan on the nose and dodge easily without even touching a hair on his knuckles, then he grabs my hand, turns me around, and chokes me with his rifle my neck.

"Why?" I asked him with difficulty.

He whistled a few times and smiled in my ear: "Why? Of course it's for money."

Soon, two more tall, heavily armed black males arrived.One pointed a gun at us, and the other came to tie us a rope.

Harlan let go of my neck and kicked me on the knee, bringing me to my knees.

A black man was tying Xi Zonghe's hands and feet. Through the faint moonlight, I could see that the hair on the back of Xi Zonghe's head was soaked with blood, and his collar was also red.

"Wait, he's injured!"

Except for Harlan, however, neither of the other two seemed to understand English.I couldn't control much, I struggled to climb towards Xi Zonghe, Harun suddenly held me down from behind.

"Be honest, don't make it difficult for me." Before I could make another sound, he inserted a hemp rope into my mouth and held it against my tongue, making it impossible for me to open my mouth.

Then he tied my hands again and put a black bag on my head.

Afterwards, I was in the darkness, and I only knew that there were two people pushing me forward, one on the left and one on the right.After walking for about 5 minutes, maybe after walking out of the hotel, the surroundings suddenly became darker, and only a few dim beams of light could be seen through the black bag.

I heard the sound of the jeep starting, someone was talking, but not in English, they cheered, and drove me into the car, and then the car started to bump and drive to an unknown location.

I don't know who is around, where Xi Zonghe is, and time has no concept for me.There were conversations in the car from time to time, and the outside of the car was always very quiet, as if it was still driving in a protected area.

It may have been two hours or more before the car finally stopped.

The car door opened, and I was dragged down to the ground. More voices came from around me, as if I had arrived at their base camp.

They threw me roughly into a room and then threw something at my feet.The door was slammed shut, the only source of light disappeared, and I heard the sound of a lock being locked.

After a while, I tried to call out twice, but no one answered me, and no one scolded me.

I managed to wipe off the black cloth bag on my head. After there was no cover in front of my eyes, I found myself in a small, simple thatched hut with no windows. Not far away lay the unknown Xi Zonghe.

Seeing that he was still in a coma, I hurriedly walked a few steps to his side, arched his body with my shoulders and head, and made a sound of "uuuuuuuuuuuuu", trying to wake him up.But I don't know if he was injured too badly or what, his eyes were closed all the time, and he didn't respond.

His face was still very pale in the dim environment, facing his ignorance, a great fear suddenly rose in my heart.I was even more afraid than when I knew he had another car accident.

I put my face against his mouth and nose, stopped still, and felt his breath motionless.It wasn't until I felt warm air blowing over my cheeks that I relaxed as if I had lifted a heavy weight, and buried my face into his shoulder socket.

I have been by Xi Zonghe's side, keeping an eye on his condition.

The sunlight coming in through the crack of the door gradually dimmed, and my stomach hummed hungrily in response.At this moment, there was a sound of unlocking outside the house, and after a while, the door was pushed open, and two teenage black boys came in, one with a tray in his hand, and the other with a gun in his arms.

The boy carrying the tray put his things on the ground and came to untie the rope on my body. The other watched coldly, pointing a gun at me the whole time, as if he would shoot me into a hornet's nest if I made any movement.

After the rope was untied, I rubbed my sore arm and pulled the rope off my mouth.

On the tray were some meat of unknown origin, and a bowl of water.They left the food and turned away without much words. I hurriedly stopped them, wanting to ask them for some clean gauze and hemostatic medicine.

"He's hurt...medicine, is there any?" I put my appeal in as simple terms as possible, but the two boys obviously couldn't understand English.They frowned at me, and one of them raised the gun in his hand, telling me not to move forward.

I raised my hand and repeated fearlessly: "Medicine! He needs treatment! Give me some medicine..."

They didn't move, they backed away slowly, and then closed the door.

I thumped the ground annoyed, and hurriedly turned around to check on Xi Zonghe's situation.

"Xiaohe, Xiaohe..." I patted his cheek lightly. Seeing that he didn't respond for a while, I went to check the wound on the back of his head.

His wound was stained with some dust and straw, forming a blood scab, which was stuck together with the hair.When I moved, some blood came out there again.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on my body, and my fingertips were shaking.I can kill chickens and fish without changing my face, but I can't be calm when facing Xi Zonghe's blood.

"It's okay, it's okay..." I shook my hands and tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of the innermost pajamas, rolled it up and pressed it on Xi Zonghe's wound, and let him pillow on it, pressing the wound with my own weight.

"It's okay, you'll be fine, we'll be fine..." I leaned beside him, wiped off the gray and black on his face with my fingertips, and pressed a soft kiss on his lips.

I randomly stuffed two pieces of meat into my mouth, drank some water, and gave Xi Zonghe some water in my mouth.He still had no intention of waking up, and the temperature dropped sharply at night. I was afraid that he would be cold, so I took off my coat and snuggled up to him, and then covered the two of us with the coat.

The cold night was very cold, I squeezed Xi Zonghe's hand and closed my eyes.

Now, I finally figured it out.Before I came here, I heard that robbery and kidnapping incidents were high, but I didn't expect them to be so courageous, so many of us would dare to do it.Harun might be an insider, cooperating with them inside and outside, found out our details, dealt with the rest of the bodyguards, and tied me and Xi Zonghe here.

I just ask them not to die for money, and release them immediately after receiving the ransom.

It may be that my nerves have been tense for too long, and I fell asleep in a daze.Only the next day, when the sun rose and the bright light shone on my eyelids through the slits, I woke up again frowning.

And wake up with me, and Xi Zonghe beside me.

He moaned indistinctly from his throat, as if he was hit by a severe headache.

I was startled when I heard the movement, quickly got up from the ground, stroked his face, and asked with concern: "Xiaohe, Xiaohe, are you awake? How do you feel?"

He struggled to open his eyes, full of confusion, I stroked the skin under his eyes, seeing that he was awake, I burst out laughing.

"Gu Tang..." His voice was hoarse, and he blinked very slowly.

"It's me, I'm here, what do you think?"

"My head... hurts..."

My heart tightened all of a sudden: "It's okay, we'll be fine soon."

I pressed against his forehead, comforting him and myself in a low voice.

He may have gradually realized the environment he was in, and asked me: "We...have been arrested?"

I said "hmm" in a low voice: "Someone will come to rescue us soon."

"Are you...are you injured?"

My eyes became hot, and I couldn't control it, and a little moisture came out of my eyes.

"No, I'm fine."

He raised his hand and pressed it against my face with difficulty: "Why are you crying?"

I wiped away the tear that fell on his face, frowned and kissed his lips.

"I love you." I said in a nasal voice, "Did you hear that? I love you."
