Chapter 215 The Heart Is Broken
He tried every means to comfort her, but it was of little use. She was drowning in the nightmare of the past, unable to see any light.
Li Lei became anxious, and hugged her even tighter, regardless of the smelly blood on her body staining his body, he just kept saying: "It's okay, Xiaoling, I'm here, I'm here."
Outside the trap, someone lowered the ladder.
The people above didn't know what was going on inside. Li Shiyuan, the teacher of the children, thought that Xia Ling was simply frightened and didn't take it seriously. He shouted towards the entrance of the cave: "Master Lei, bring people up."
Li Lei raised his head and glanced at the ladder: "Change to the hanging basket and come down." With Xiao Ling's current condition, how could she climb up? In the dim light, the girl in her arms was covered in blood, washed away by tears and looked extremely ugly, as if she had crawled out of Shura Purgatory. He had never seen Xiao Ling like this before. He was so distressed that it was hard to breathe. He wiped her with his sleeve, but he couldn't wipe it clean.
Li Shiyuan frowned. The girl in the trap was too weak. She couldn't even climb up the ladder?
Surrounded by some adults from the Li family, and other children who heard the news, they were also very disdainful at this time. I don't know if this girl really has no fighting power, or is she pretending to be weak in front of Li Lei? Not to mention the Li family, there is no reason why even an ordinary passerby on the street cannot climb the ladder, right?
You are so squeamish, who are you showing off to?
The Li family is a wealthy family that lives on the streets and licks blood with their swords. They can't bear to see Miss Jiao who can fall down at the slightest breeze.
At this time, some people were already whispering: "Isn't it appropriate for her to be Brother Lei's girlfriend?"
Many people nodded.
Li Lei is the little grandson, who is likely to inherit the family business in the future. His girlfriend is likely to be the head of the Li family in the future. How can he choose a person who even climbs a pit with a hanging basket?
The hanging basket was not placed on top, and Li Lei in the trap was already anxious: "Hurry up! If you don't put the hanging basket, I will make you all look good!"
There was real anger in his voice, which startled the people above, right? Just because of such a delicate young lady pretending to be weak, such a trivial matter? It had been years since I had seen Li Lei get really angry.
However, when they saw that he was really angry, the people above did not dare to neglect him.
They all knew how scary Li Lei was. Don't look at how he usually smiled and seemed to have a good temper. When he was cruel back then, it was enough to make anyone's legs weak. They'd rather stir up trouble, really.
The hanging basket was quickly lowered.
Li Lei carefully picked up Xia Ling, stepped into the hanging basket, and asked the people above to lift them out.
As soon as they stepped on the ground, everyone was stunned, the girl cried miserably in Li Lei's arms, the nails on her ten fingers were curled up, bloody and bloody, it was horrible.
She wasn't pretending to be weak, but was she really scared, so that's why she twisted her fingers like this?
Several children looked at each other.
"Hey," Li Xiaolong tugged on Li Xiaoxing's clothes, "Do you think she is afraid of the dark?"
Li Xiaoxing was also a little frightened. His fingers were connected to his heart. It must be very painful to be injured like this. She felt a little uneasy in her heart, but after thinking about it, she became even more disdainful: "Afraid of the dark? Our Li family's three-year-old child is not afraid of the dark! Whether she pretends or is real, she is too useless anyway. You have no right to be with Uncle Lei!"
Li Lei did not hear the conversation between the two children.
At this moment, all his thoughts were on Xia Ling. Under the bright sunlight outside, he saw her appearance more clearly. The injuries on her hands were so serious that he simply did not dare to think about the panic and despair she encountered inside.
"Call the doctor!" He hugged her and strode towards his yard.
The doctor arrived quickly and conducted a preliminary examination on her. Except for her fingers, there was no external injury. But Xia Ling was still trembling and crying in his arms, her eyes were empty and ethereal, she was mumbling something vaguely, her tears couldn't stop falling, as if she was being choked by something terrible.
"I think Ms. Ye's mental condition is unstable. How about injecting her with a sedative?" the doctor suggested.
Li Lei coaxed the girl in his arms softly. Hearing this, he shook his head. Sedatives have side effects, and he would rather spend more time comforting her and making her truly feel safe than harming her body for the sake of temporary convenience.
He held her in his arms and asked the doctor to clean and bandage her fingers briefly before ordering him to exit.
There were only two of them left in Leiming Courtyard.
Er Mao came closer and looked at her with a pair of amber eyes with some concern.
Li Lei heard clearly what she muttered in a low voice: "Don't...let me go...blood...a lot of blood..."
Her whole body was soaked with blood, and her originally plain blue sweater had turned bright red. Li Lei frowned, carried her to the bathroom, and put her into the bathtub.
His bathtub is half the size of a room, and is filled with hot spring water from nearby. Once you enter, you will feel comfortable and relaxed. The gentle water washed their bodies and clothes. After a while, the originally clear bathtub was dyed blood red. After a while, the red gradually faded and returned to its original clear color.
Xia Ling's body stopped shaking so much, and her tears gradually dried up, but she still muttered, "Blood, blood..."
Li Lei frowned, washed her face and hands by the pool, looked at her blood-stained clothes, but found it difficult. In the bath, their bodies were very close, and he could clearly feel the exquisite lines of her body, like a beautiful and soft flower vine, teasing his heartstrings faintly.
He took a deep breath, controlled the heat in his body, and sat down in the shallow water with her in his arms.
"Xiaoling, be good," he said, "there's no more blood, and you'll be fine after taking a shower. You just sit still and don't move. I'll find someone to help you take a bath, okay?" Clothes, I'm afraid that I will do something impulsive if I can't help myself.
The warm pool water was thick and her body was next to his. He felt that he couldn't stand it anymore and would go crazy if he stayed there for one more second.
But Xia Ling held his hand tightly: "Don't go, I'm afraid..." She was in a daze, and couldn't recognize who the man in front of her was. She only felt that there was a hazy light in the boundless blood and darkness. She was surrounded by a halo of light, so warm and bright that she couldn't help but rely on it. "Don't go..." She was about to cry again.
Li Lei took a deep breath, then another deep breath, and used all his willpower to tell himself to be calm and restrained, so as not to just throw her into the pool and eat her up. He wanted to push her away, but she looked at him pleadingly with tears in her eyes, which made his last bit of determination vanish into thin air, and he had no strength to pull away.
what to do?
Li Lei's heart is broken. He has never encountered such a predicament since he was a child. If Xiao Ling is still awake, he will definitely not be willing to be possessed by him in this situation. Their first time, no matter what Save it for a romantic night in a well-decorated room and a big, soft bed...
Wait, stop it, what is he thinking about? !
