Qiu Bailu never thought it could hurt like this. She clearly felt the pain caused by each whip falling on her back and the tip of the whip rolling up the flesh, one after another.
After ten blows, she almost fainted from the pain, and the cold sweat and blood couldn't stop falling. It was simply that she couldn't survive but could not die. She really wanted to faint, but Luo Yan wouldn't let her.
He signaled the executioner to stop and strolled up to Qiu Bailu. Until this moment, the man was still extremely elegant, as if he was not on the execution platform but in an elegant cafe.
"You can choose to end it all, Xiaolu." His fingers fell on her back, and his fingertips slid over the thick blood. Qiu Bailu's whole body shivered in pain.
"No...if you don't want to let go...then continue..."
It's not that she is stubborn, nor is she ignorant of things, but it's just that everything has gone so far. If she gives up, won't all the suffering she has endured be in vain?
The man let out a long sigh and said, "Xiao Lu, I really don't like you being so stubborn. Then, continue as you wish."
The sound of the whip sounded again, and Luo Yan stepped aside, his eyes indifferent.
He knew that he could not get this woman completely. She seemed weak, but she had certain qualities that prevented her from bowing to him. Although this realization made him very unhappy, the fact that things were like this made him reluctant.
deny.
If you can't get her completely, destroy her and then rebuild her.
He didn't care what she had gone through, but all he needed was her.
Qiu Bailu endured the fifteenth and sixth lashes when she fainted because the pain was too much. In her daze, she seemed to hear Ban's cries and the man's whisper in her ear, but all of that was...
It was so unreal that she couldn't be sure if they really happened.
Two days later, the drizzle visited the island. The pattering rain wet the plant kingdom. The river on the mountain swelled. The residents on the island were forced to build flood control embankments. When Qiu Bailu woke up, there was no one around her.
No.
The wound on her back had been carefully bandaged, but it still hurt a lot when she moved. The rain splashed in through the open window, and she felt a little cold. With great difficulty, she stretched out her arms to pull out a blanket and wrapped herself up.
.
Her mind was a little confused, the things that had happened were all mixed together, the injuries on her body were real, but she was still not sure, was all of this real?
The door panel made a soft creaking sound, and Qiu Bailu knew someone had walked in, but she couldn't turn around and look around. The longer she stayed awake, the more deeply she began to feel the pain of cutting her skin.
With her forehead covered by a slightly cold palm, Qiu Bailu heard Luo Yan's gentle voice ringing in her ears, "Thank God, the fever has finally subsided. There was a flash flood yesterday and I didn't take care of you. I didn't expect that you would
When it started to burn, my head was so hot that I could fry an egg, which scared people to death."
As he spoke, he turned to Qiu Bailu. Qiu Bailu raised her head with difficulty and saw that Luo Yan was completely wet. He looked like he had been fished out of the water. Even his hair was dripping with water. She saw
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the fear of this person welled up from deep in her heart, making her unable to look him in the face, let alone answer him.
Obviously, Luo Yan also discovered this, and Qiu Bailu was afraid of him, treating him like a scourge.
"Why don't you dare to look at me? Because I ordered someone to whip you? But why don't you think about what you did? Do you deserve this whipping? Besides, isn't that what you asked for?" Luo Yan's voice was gentle,
Although he looked a little embarrassed, his aura was not weak at all.
"I brought all this on myself. I made my own mistakes and no one else is to blame. Mr. Luo, there is no need for you to lower your status and argue with me. However, I want to know one thing. You can't help me."
It’s time to let the breath out, when will you let me go?”
"It seems that this punishment is still too light for you." Luo Yan's face darkened, and his hand left Qiu Bailu's forehead. When she let out a breath, he suddenly turned and grabbed her chin,
He forcefully raised Qiu Bailu's head and forced her to look into his eyes, "Do you know what it means in ancient times that people branded their own marks on livestock?"
Qiu Bailu turned pale with anger, "But I'm not an animal! Mr. Luo, I'm a human being!!"
"So you should feel lucky that I didn't pick on your hamstring!" Luo Yan could no longer see the slightest smile on his face. He said coldly, "Xiao Lu, you still think you can leave.
Am I? I’m telling you clearly now that you’ve given up on this! I can’t possibly let you leave this island. If you don’t change your mind, you’ll be waiting to live here for the rest of your life.”
"I don't understand, what is so special about me that makes Mr. Luo treat me so differently? Luo Yan, you are not such a person, you can't treat me like this! If you treat me like this, I will not love you, I will hate you
You, you don’t want our relationship to become like this.”
"Hate me?" Luo Yan chuckled, "Don't you hate me now?"
His voice was brisk, "To be honest, I don't care about your thoughts and emotions at this moment. Whether you hate or hate you, it will not change my view of you. Xiaolu, I am not a stingy person.
I can give you whatever you want, but I am a man after all, I have my dignity, and what you do is not what I like."
"So? Are you going to imprison me? Mr. Luo, do you know there is such a thing as law in this world?!"
"Here, I am the law."
With just one word, Qiu Bailu was sent to the eighteenth level of hell. She knew that Luo Yan would not let her go, just as she would not fall in love with him as he wished. Neither of them would give in.
One step later, it finally reached a dead end.
"What do you want? Me? My person? Or my heart? Do you think you can lock me up? Luo Yan..." Qiu Bailu said as if sighing. As she spoke, she began to unbutton her top.
buttons.
"Is this body what you want? I used it once and it felt good, so I never forget it? Do you want it? I'll give it to you, how long do you want it to take, or how many times do you want it? After you're done, can you let me go?
Even prostitutes have the right to choose their own clients. I am unlucky enough to fall into your hands. I can satisfy you whatever you want, as long as you give me a deadline."
While she was talking, she had already unbuttoned all the buttons on her blouse. Because she had an injury on her back, Qiu Bailu did not wear underwear. Her curvy figure appeared in front of Luo Yan, half-covered and half-exposed.
The skin, which was as white as fine porcelain, was covered with ugly scars. Although some wounds had been treated with medicine, they were still oozing blood, which looked very serious.
Does he want her? Does he want her broken body? Well, give it to him.
He wants her to understand who is really in power? He wants to use this method to force her to bow her head? Well, she depends on him in everything.
It's just that she can agree to all his demands on her, but her heart will never belong to him.
All he could get was this scarred body.
That's all.
"I will never love you, never will. No matter how long you lock me up or how you treat me, I will never love you. Although I am not a strong person and have no abilities, I will not let it go like this.
Your opinion. Mr. Luo, you will not win this war. You may have many things, but I am definitely not among them."
The woman's young body was like the freshest flower that bloomed on the branch in the morning. It dazzled the eyes of others, but her words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into his chest. Luo Yan took a breath.
Suffocated, he watched Qiu Bailu get out of her clothes. She threw the clothes aside casually, her movements were sloppy but full of temptation.
He had longed for her for a long time. He had not seen another woman for a long time, and he felt that his whole body was on fire.
Even his eyes were red from congestion.
However, my heart is cold.
Just when Qiu Bailu thought he was about to rush over to exercise his royal power, Luo Yan suddenly clenched his fists, turned around quickly, and slammed the door away.
Qiu Bailu was the only one left in the room. The door was wide open and heavy rain was pouring down. Luo Yan was no longer visible in the white rain curtain.
Qiu Bailu stood for a while, and when she was sure that he would not come back, she tremblingly moved a few steps forward, knelt down, picked up the clothes, held them in her arms, and hugged her tightly, motionless.
.
When the rain subsided in the afternoon, Ban came to visit Qiu Bailu. Qiu Bailu was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
When he heard her say that she was fine and the wound on her back didn't hurt, Ban breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was really scared to death at the time. I thought you were going to die. Fortunately, Mr. Luo hired the best witch doctor for you and used the best medicine, so you were fine."
The residents of this island blindly followed Luo Yan. Qiu Bailu already knew that this view was deeply ingrained in their hearts, so she was too lazy to explain this matter to Ban.
"Where have all the people in the village gone? It's raining so heavily. What are you doing?" Qiu Bailu turned to look out the window. In the past, when nothing happened, the women in the village always liked to look outside her wooden house and enjoy the cool air while talking.
When it rained, they would hide under the eaves and whisper, but today it was quiet outside, with no one around.
"Oh, they are all going to the mountain. Mr. Luo took them to the mountain to repair the dam. It rained too hard yesterday and the old dam on the mountain was washed away. If it is not repaired, the rocks on the mountain will roll down.
It happened once every few years. Fortunately, Mr. Luo..."
No wonder he looked like that when he showed up in the morning.
Mr. Luo, the classmate, kept talking in Qiu Bailu's ears. Qiu Bailu got tired of hearing that, so she turned away and said, "Stop talking about him, or you can leave."
