Chapter 16 – Once again meeting with Quicksand

Just as Zeng Ruo plunged into despair, Xia Tian stood up again. Xia Tian quickly got rid of the black-clothed man. Seeing that Xia Tian was still alive, Zeng Ruo could not longer control her emotions.

Tears. At this moment, she was no longer a virtuous lady, no longer a strong woman; she cried loudly. At her side, her daughter was also crying, but because of the medicine, the sounds were m.u.f.fled.

Zeng Ruo threw herself into Xia Tian’s arms. At this moment, she felt like there was no place more secure than within this pair of arms. She felt a warmth and an urge to stay like this and not think of anything else.

“Cough!!” Xia Tian gave a hard cough, “We should get out of here quickly.”

Xia Tian only hit these people unconscious, he did not kill them. The education he had received from his childhood prevented him from doing so. Since the people have been rescued, they must immediately leave from here. The police should be arriving soon. If they saw his bullet wounds, then it would be difficult to explain.

“Hmm.” Zeng Ruo wiped the tears in her eyes and picked up the daughter. Her eyes caught the blood on the ground. The blood was real. That meant that Xia Tian really did get hit by the bullet.

She looked at Xia Tian who was using his hand to cover his left side flowing with blood.

“You got shot! I’m calling 120, you must hold on.” Zeng Ruo hurriedly took out her phone.

“Don’t,” Xia Tian caught Zeng Ruo mobile phone, “The matter is too complicated. If I am sent to the hospital, there will certainly be police intervention. I do not want to any trouble.”

“But your wound!” Zeng Ruo anxiously said.

“Come with me.” Xia Tian knew his body had gotten stronger than before by several grades, otherwise, there’d be no need to even talk about being shot. Just being stabbed once would’ve caused him to pa.s.s out from the pain.

After Zeng Ruo shut her phone, she left the warehouse with Xia Tian.

There was less than a kilometer from here to his house. He used to play here when he was a child, so he was so familiar with the surroundings.

Enduring the pain, Xia Tian brought Zeng Ruo and her daughter to his house. The little girl was very sensible; she has not cried. She was too tired and fell asleep in Zeng Ruo’s bosom.

Xia Tian walked cautiously back home. In order not to leave any traces of blood, he tore his clothes and wrapped the cloth around his wounds.

Xia Tian’s house was not big, but it was still clean. Everything was placed neatly. Xia Tian had not returned here for a long time. However, his young aunt would get people to clean the house every once in awhile, so everything was very neat and clean.

“You live here?” Seeing the things in the house, Zeng Ruo was overcome with strong emotions when she saw the inside the house. From what she saw, it’s not wrong to say that Xia Tian was definitely not a rich man, but why was he unwilling to accept her money? Self-conceit, is it important to be self-conceited in this age?

She has always given more importance to money than anything else, but at that moment her thoughts changed, and no matter how much money she had in that situation, no one was going to save her.

Finally saved by the man who didn’t want her money but still saved her, and at that time he actually said she was his woman.

If it was someone else to say this sentence, she would give the man a slap, but this words came from the mouth of this 20-year-old boy, but she felt so happy, she did not know if this because Xia Tian saved her or was touched by the determination of Xia Tian.

Xia Tian looked for matches and gauze, these are the only thing that could be used at home.

“This is my old home, now I live with my cousin.” Xia Tian caught the corner of the table with left-hand, the right hand around his wounds, where it was already mangled.

Zeng Ruo incredulity looked at Xia Tian:”Does he want to pull out the bullet with his hand? How can this be, and it will infect.”

Saw Zeng Ruo worried expression, Xia Tian smiled and said: “Don’t worry, it’s okay.”

Hmm!!

A sotto voce came from Xia Tian mouth, at this time his eyes are bloodshot, the forehead was all sweaty, apply force in the right-hand, directly pulled out the bullet.

Zeng Ruo was very clear, Xia Tian not shouting out because was afraid to disturb her daughter’s rest, but she simply dares not to think about how much pain he felt, in the absence of Anesthetic drugs, to pull out the bullet using hands.

Pain!!
