Chapter 760 - : Who Would Find Them? (1/2)

“Your daughter looks pretty cute,” Brother San continued. “It’s just that she had a big temper. Her looks took after her mom, but her personality is just like yours.”

“Really?” Chu Lui thought of his daughter, and her personality was indeed like his; she was as stubborn, as determined, and as indignant as him. However, she was still a girl and was a prideful one.

“How is she?” Brother San ate a bite of the biscuit and talked to Chu Lui casually.

Chu Lui knew who the ‘she’ was. It was Rainy, her daughter.

“Not bad.” He closed his eyes and did not have much of an appetite. Actually, they did not leave for long, and he missed the kid already. He wondered if she was sleeping or eating and if she missed this father.

Brother San laughed uncontrollably, and he must have thought of the child, too. “When your daughter was at my place, she didn’t even torture me. Now that I think about it, it’s good to have a daughter. No wonder everyone said that daughters are the angels to fathers.”

“Thank you.” Chu Lui opened his eyes. He should have said this a long time ago.

“No need.” Brother San leaned against the wall behind him. “Ruoxin is Xiao Wei’s friend so she is my friend. Besides, she saved Xiao Wei this time so perhaps I should be the one to say ‘thank you’ instead.”

The both of them went silent again, and each took their own spot while eating their own biscuit. Actually, they could not even taste much.

At that time, it was already late at night; and the wind that blew over was harsh and cold.

Xia Ruoxin bit her lower lip. Indeed, it was colder than she had expected. The temperature in the day was around twenty-degree Celsius, but at night or in the morning, it was below zero. Even though the river was not frozen, it was chilling to the bone.

She did not dare go down to the water for a very long time as if she did, their legs would probably be frozen and just break off. The number of people here was decreasing as a few died and others were sick. However, there were quite a few new people. At first, she thought there would not be men here; but there were a few now. At first, she was still worried that there would be troubles with the men, but now, she realized that she was overthinking and over-worrying.

Everyone said that when one was warm, one’s sexual desires would be released. However, they were immersed in the cold water all day long so none of them would have the mood for it.

While she was hesitating, someone pushed her from behind. She directly fell into the water, and her clothes were drenched.

She climbed out of the river and started shivering from head to toe. Once Shen Wei went down and her feet touched the water, chills were sent all over her body.

“Why are you so careless?” Towards Xia Ruoxin’s drenched body, Shen Wei did not know if she was frozen or she was too angry; but her teeth were chattering.

“I didn’t pay attention, and this happened.” Xia Ruoxin wiped the water off her face and half of her arm had already swelled up because of the cold. Her sense of touch and her nerves were still here, but they were getting slower and slower by the minute.

Her entire hand and legs had cold sores. If this continued, the next person to be dragged out would be her.

A few people died again a few days ago. The lives here were really worthless, and there was no bit of respect for them. They were living in an area that was not governed; their country could not find them, their relatives could not find them, and they might not even exist internationally.

If it was not for someone who would intentionally come and find them, perhaps the day they leave the place would be the day they died.

“Shen Wei, why do I feel that it’s getting harder for us to get out?”

“Perhaps the next one they carried out would be me.”
