But after all, the store owner has lived here for many years, so what he said may have some truth to it.
Even so, Lin Xiangwan didn't want to believe it. She believed in her own intuition and judgment more than other people's words.
Chu Di also knew about her. Seeing that her face was not good, he pulled her out of the store and said, "As long as you know what you are thinking, you just listen to what others say. Besides, nothing will happen to you as long as I am by your side."
matter."
This is true. With him by her side, even if something happens, he will naturally be there to help her handle it.
The two of them went to the Potala Palace early the next morning. Since the tickets for the Potala Palace were limited, they had to be booked several days in advance. Chu Di used some trick to buy the tickets for the day without queuing.
They hired a tour guide and spent the whole morning walking around the palace. Lin Xiangwan also bought three pairs of small thangkas, intending to give them to Ye Nan, Chu Hao and Xiaozhen respectively.
After taking the things and leaving the palace, Chu Di took Lin Xiangwan to the most authentic Tibetan restaurant in the city to eat Tibetan food.
I originally wanted to take a taxi there, but things suddenly took an unpredictable turn.
When the first gunshot rang out, Lin Xiangwan thought he had heard something wrong, but Chu Di had already woken up. After being stunned for a short time, and when no one else reacted, he suddenly pulled Lin Xiangwan up.
Xiang Wan's hand ran towards the secluded alley.
Chu Di took huge steps, and Lin Xiangwan followed him. In the plateau area, if you walk slowly, you may be able to breathe normally, but when you really run, your whole chest feels like it is about to explode, and your mouth feels bitter.
, and his heart almost vomited. As he ran, Lin Xiangwan heard intensive gunfire on the street behind him.
Tragic screams, alien curses, the sound of knives and axes, and all kinds of chaotic and terrifying sounds rang around her. Lin Xiangwan couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, but she intuitively felt that she should not stop.
She didn't know what would happen as soon as she stopped, so even if her chest was about to burst, she followed Chu Di's steps closely.
Many days later, when Lin Xiangwan returned to City H and saw the video of that day in a news documentary, she realized that her and Chu Di's nearly fatal run had actually saved their lives.
Less than half an hour after they left, that street turned into a hell on earth. Even through the black-and-white video and countless mosaics, the tragic scene was still shocking.
"I...I...can't run anymore...I can't run anymore..." Lin Xiangwan's heart was not original after all. Excessive tension and plateau air pressure caused her to run more than a thousand meters.
, and finally couldn’t hold on any longer.
Chu Di saw that her face was as white as a piece of paper, her lips were trembling so much that she could hardly speak a complete sentence, and big beads of sweat were dripping from her forehead, and even the clothes on her back were soaked. He knew that she
She can't run anymore. If she runs again, even if she doesn't die in the hands of others, she will force herself to death.
But the chaotic sounds behind her didn't stop because she couldn't hold on. On the contrary, they got closer and closer.
He even heard the manic roars of the alien race, as well as the sharp and harsh sound of sharp weapons hitting the wall. He thought about it in his mind, and then pulled Lin Xiangwan to a relatively hidden corner of the alley, where there was a pile of lime.
The bag can allow her to escape temporarily.
"Listen, Lin Xiangwan. I'm going to leave you for a while now. You have to listen to me carefully. No matter what happens, don't come out from here." He said, taking off the watch from his wrist and putting it on Lin Xiangwan.
Xiang Wan said in his hand, "Look at this, wait half an hour, and make sure there are no bad guys outside before coming out. Don't go anywhere, just go back to the hotel. It should be the safest place. Wait for me there. If I still have it tonight,
If you don't go back, just call Zhong Kun, he has friends here and will help you leave."
"You...where are you going?" Lin Xiangwan held on to Chu Di tightly. Her brain was swollen and painful due to lack of blood, but she also knew what Chu Di was going to do. He wanted to leave her now and treat herself as a human being.
Use bait to lure those people away so that she can escape successfully.
"I don't know either." Chu Di looked outside and touched Lin Xiangwan's face with his hand, "But I know this is the best choice. The two of us are together. The goal is too big. You can't run away.
If you move, it won’t be convenient for me to take you with you. Rather than letting both of you get stuck, why not..."
Those behind him were all extremely cruel thugs. To them, his and Lin Xiangwan's lives and blood were just a splash of color on their road to revenge and had no meaning at all. They just killed.
But for Chu Di, Lin Xiangwan is the most precious thing in the world, and he can't let her get hurt. He is not that great, and he doesn't want to die, but he clearly realizes that if he holds her, the two of them will end up...
In the end, we may not be able to escape, and we will all die.
Lin Xiangwan also knew that what he did was absolutely correct, but she just couldn't let go.
Chu Di was cruel and pried off her fingers one by one, "Ah Wan, don't be willful. We still have a son, didn't you say you wanted to see him get married and have children? I can run fast alone, maybe
If you can get rid of them, remember what I said, just go back to the hotel."
"I don't!! I don't!!" Lin Xiangwan watched her hand being opened by Chu Di. She could only repeat these two words. "I don't want you to leave, don't... don't leave me."
Tears welled up like crazy. She had almost lost him, but she didn't know it at the time, but now, she was experiencing it all clearly, and the sting of being separated from him made her heart bleed.
Chu Di held her hand down to prevent her from catching him again, and then said to her word for word, "Lin Xiangwan!! Do you have to die with me to be happy, right?! When will you
Have you become so cowardly?! You were not like this before. Did I spoil you? Be brave and don’t let me look down on you!!"
After he finished speaking, he pushed her into a corner and left without hesitation.
Lin Xiangwan's back was so painful that she couldn't get up for a long time, but what hurt her even more was her heart.
"Asshole! Why do you pretend to be a hero?! Asshole Chu Di!!" She cursed in a low voice, cold tears flowing down her hot cheeks.
She had never known that there was a kind of separation that could make people so painful. Even when she was dying, she had never felt such pain. It was as if she wanted to carve out a piece of her heart.
Her happiness was finally in her hands. They had gone through so much and finally came together, but why did fate treat them like this? If they were not allowed to be together, why did they have to be entangled for so long? She didn't believe it, she
Not convinced! Lin Xiangwan's eyes were filled with anger. She didn't want to experience the seven hardships of life: love, separation, and being unable to ask for it!
That man is hers, unless she doesn't want him, no one can take him away from her!! Not even death! Not even fate! No one can!
Gritting his teeth and getting up, Lin Xiangwan stumbled out of the corner.
There were some small shops in the alley. When they heard that something was wrong outside, they all closed their doors. Chu Di ran forward for a while, trying to find a shop to hide in, but in the end he was blocked from the door.
"You outsiders, run away. They are too powerful. If we let you in, we won't be able to survive." The boss, who was hiding in the store, said tremblingly.
When Chu Di heard this, he knew that they were determined not to open the door for him. No one would risk the lives of his entire family just to save a stranger. So he simply turned around and planned to move forward.
But as soon as he turned his head, he found Lin Xiangwan coming over panting. She was running staggering, as if she was about to fall, but she held on and refused to fall.
"Why are you running here..." Chu Di rushed to her side and gritted his teeth. This girl is too ignorant. Does she clearly understand what they are going through now? If someone doesn't pay attention...
Lin Xiangwan, on the other hand, didn't give him a chance to continue talking, and grabbed him by the lapel of his clothes, as if he was afraid that he would run away, "What am I? Are you stupid? You left me there alone, have you ever thought about it?"
, what should I do if they find me? Anyway, I can't run away, I don't care! We will die together! You promised me, to fulfill my wish, you can't leave me alone! I don't agree!
We want to be together. You said that you can't leave me anymore. I don't want to be separated from you anymore. Chu Di, let's go together as far as we can go. If we really can't escape today
, then I will accept my fate. I don’t believe our fate is so bad! I don’t want to attend Ye Nan’s wedding alone!!”
I no longer want to live alone, take care of my children, travel alone, and commute alone. I’ve had enough of being independent and strong, and I’ve had enough of sleeping alone in a double bed at night. I don’t want to...
Never be...alone again.
After she said a word, she immediately gasped again. Chu Di was stunned, as if he was stupid. This time, he couldn't push her away no matter what.
This was the first time that she had confessed to him so firmly, as if nothing could make her waver. She had never said such words to him before. He had been waiting for so long, and he never expected that she would be here at this time.
tell him.
"Then... let's go together and die together!" Chu Di was heartbroken. He hugged Lin Xiangwan, dragged her hand, and the two of them walked towards the depths of the alley.
At the end of the alley, there is a bifurcated road, two roads in completely different directions. No one knows which one to choose, which one leads to safety and which one leads to purgatory.
Or, none of them are safe.
Behind them were the sounds of rapid pursuit, and there was no time for them to hesitate any longer.
