Chapter 4485 Skin and Bones

bone

After Zhu Hengyu entered the shack, he looked around in the dim sky.

When Zhu Hengyu thought about it, this shack must be dark, damp, smelly, and extremely dirty.

But the facts proved that Zhu Hengyu was wrong.

Although the inside of this shack is very dark and humid, the smell in the shack is not bad.

Moreover, it was different from Zhu Hengyu’s imagination.

Although the shack is empty, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a house with only four walls, but poverty will lead to poverty! The environment in the shack is very neat and clean.

Even the pile of beds made of woven rags in the corner of the shack were clean and tidy.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhu Hengyu was really satisfied with the environment in the shack.

Zhu Hengyu's material requirements have never been high.

It doesn’t need to be luxurious or grand.

As long as it's clean and tidy, warm and comfortable, that's enough.

Although this simple shack and simple beds can be said to be worthless, in Zhu Hengyu's eyes...

There is no difference between this place and that luxurious hotel.

In fact, this simple shack and the bed made of rags have a unique flavor.

Zhu Hengyu was also very satisfied to be able to sleep here for one night.

Looking around, Zhu Hengyu walked to the bed and sat on it gently.

I tested the softness and firmness of the bed. Although the bed was simple and shabby... it was really comfortable to sit on.

He tried to lie on the bed, and suddenly... an extremely comfortable feeling made Zhu Hengyu not even want to get up.

Don't you want to get up?

Then don’t get up...

Anyway, even if he got up, Zhu Hengyu had nothing to do.

Lying on the soft and comfortable bed, Zhu Hengyu gradually relaxed his consciousness and fell asleep in a hazy state.

The so-called haze is actually the state of being half asleep and half awake.

In this strange and extremely dangerous environment, Zhu Hengyu did not dare to fall into a deep sleep casually.

If Zhu Hengyu really entered a deep sleep, what if the one-eyed man had an accomplice and got in at night.

Then wouldn't Zhu Hengyu be torn into pieces and die a violent death?

Therefore, Zhu Hengyu divided his spiritual thoughts into two...

Half went to sleep.

The other half is still awake. Once an accident occurs, Zhu Hengyu will wake up instantly and deal with all changes.

The nights are getting darker and the temperature is getting lower...

There was a rustling sound outside the shack, and the door of the shack was gently pushed open.

The moment the door rang, Zhu Hengyu suddenly turned over and sat up from the bed.

He reached out with his right hand and grabbed the dagger that had been wiped clean of blood by the pillow.

Zhu Hengyu has become accustomed to the darkness around him.

In the night, with the light of the three hundred and sixty-five moons in the sky, Zhu Hengyu could clearly see all the surrounding scenery.

When the door of the shack opened, a figure walked in quietly.

Obviously, that figure was not used to the darkness in the shack.

As soon as he entered the shack, he couldn't see anything for a short period of time.

The moment the black shadow gently closed the door.

A cold object was pressed between his throat.

Although his eyes were unable to see, he could clearly sense what the object between his throat was even by just relying on his sense of touch.

in the dark……

A weak voice rang out: "Don't kill me, it's me..."

Through the moonlight outside, Zhu Hengyu actually recognized the other party.

This person is none other than the skinny young man who escaped before.

Looking at the other party coldly, Zhu Hengyu said coldly: "What are you doing here?"

Facing Zhu Hengyu's inquiry, the skinny young man remained silent for a long time.

After a while...

The skinny young man said extremely weakly: "Well... this is my residence. If I don't come back, I will have nowhere to go."

Zhu Hengyu was suddenly speechless.

yes……

Although he saved the other party's life, he could not change the fact that this was the other party's residence.

You can't say that just because you saved someone's life, you should occupy someone else's property.

Although this method does work in this slum, it is obvious that Zhu Hengyu is not such a person.

At a time when Zhu Hengyu was secretly embarrassed and embarrassed...

The skinny young man continued weakly: "I may not be able to survive. The reason why I came back is to repay my kindness."

As he spoke, the thin figure stumbled suddenly and almost fell to the ground.

If Zhu Hengyu had not reacted quickly enough, with this stagger, Zhu Hengyu's dagger might have wiped off his neck in an instant.

Subconsciously reaching out his hand, Zhu Hengyu hugged the other person's body.

so skinny……

Zhu Hengyu frowned as soon as he looped his arm gently.

To describe a person who is thin, skinny is usually used to describe him.

In fact, no one can really be that thin.

But today

…

When Zhu Hengyu hugged the young man, he truly realized what it meant to be skinny and covered with bones.

Holding the boy in his arms, Zhu Hengyu felt as if he was holding a bundle of dry firewood.

Between this hug...

Zhu Hengyu clearly felt that his left hand and left arm became wet instantly.

At the same time, a strong smell of blood entered Zhu Hengyu's nasal cavity.

not good……

Feeling the sticky touch in his left hand, Zhu Hengyu understood instantly.

Obviously, the skinny boy was stabbed by the one-eyed man, and it was the blood that wet Zhu Hengyu's entire left arm.

"Thank you for saving me before, but... I'm afraid I won't survive."

After breathing hard for a few times, the skinny boy said extremely weakly:

"You can eat me after I die. The stove is under the bed..."

eat you!

Hearing the young man's words, Zhu Hengyu's eyes suddenly widened.

What a joke!

Although Zhu Hengyu is indeed very hungry now, no matter how hungry he is, Zhu Hengyu cannot eat people.

Frowning, Zhu Hengyu used his left arm to pick up the skinny boy and walked towards the bed.

Gently placing the young man on the bed, Zhu Hengyu whispered: "Do you have a candlestick here?"

"Yes, they're all under the bed."

Zhu Hengyu immediately squatted down and reached under the bed.

With a touch, Zhu Hengyu touched an iron pot.

But obviously, this is not what he wants.

After some groping, Zhu Hengyu quickly found a candlestick at the foot of the bed and two pieces of flint next to the candlestick.

Picking up two pieces of flint, Zhu Hengyu struck the candlestick hard.

Click, click, click...

Amidst the clear sound of stone impact, sparks flew everywhere.

Zhu Hengyu is no stranger to flint.

In the past, when he was Chu Xingyun, he had used it many times.

After just a few taps, the sparks sputtered out and the candlestick was successfully ignited.

In the light of the candlestick, Zhu Hengyu looked at the skinny young man.

His condition is very bad.

The entire chest was completely stained red with blood.

One left arm was also hanging weakly.

Bright red blood dripped down the fingertips of his left hand.

"Although I don't know if I can save you, I plan to give it a try." Zhu Hengyu said. The skinny young man twitched the corner of his mouth and said sadly: "No need, in fact, there is nothing wrong with dying. For me... this is also a kind of relief."
