Chapter 82 – Three People Make a Tiger 18

The night was as thick as ink that could not be melted and the cold air came from all directions. Xu RenDong was shivering from the cold and narrowed his eyes to look at the environment surrounding him.

This was a wilderness. The heavy snow was flying and the snowflakes were blowing head-on. It seemed to weigh heavily on the face, making people unable to open their eyes. There was a big house in the distance that was brightly lit and the yellow halo looked extra warm in the snowy night, making people involuntarily want to get close.

Where is this? Where was Zhong Xiu?

Xu RenDong looked around and soon found a figure walking alone in the wind and snow.

It was a thin and small child who wore her hair in two ponytails. Even in this icy world, the child was only wearing a thin single coat. She was alone, walking in the deep snow. Snow fell on her hair, melted and then was refrozen into ice, freezing the two ponytails and making them hard and heavy.

Xu RenDong was shocked when he saw her. He followed silently, finally seeing the child’s face. Her face was flushed red with ice crystals on her eyelashes. Her facial features had not yet grown but he could already tell that she had a beautiful bone structure.

It’s Zhong Xiu. Zhong Xiu at the age of thirteen.

Xu RenDong looked down and saw a baby in her arms. The baby was wrinkled all over.  His face was purple and it was unknown if the cause was hypoxia or freezing. All in all, it was a pretty ugly baby and not flattering at all.

The baby was crying and writhing, trying to break free from Zhong Xiu’s arms. The thirteen-year-old Zhong Xiu was still a child and didn’t know how to hold a child at all. She tugged at the swaddling clothes and hurriedly wrapped it tightly around the baby, holding the back of its head with one hand and clutching it close to her chest. Perhaps because of hearing the familiar heartbeat, the baby finally stopped crying and quietly fell asleep in Zhong Xiu’s arms.

…is that me?

I was just born.

Xu RenDong was shocked when he looked at himself in the swaddling clothes. His mind was blank for a while and he was overwhelmed. He could only follow Zhong Xiu silently to see where she was going.

Zhong Xiu held the baby in her arms and made her way through the heavy snow with difficulty. Her face was whiter than snow and bloodless. The wind and snow came from all directions, Zhong Xiu shivered and tightened her jacket but cold sweat dripped from her forehead.     

Obviously she was already exhausted and she would stop after walking a few steps, exhaling a big mouthful of white breath. But each time she rested for only a few seconds before quickly perking up again, taking a deep breath and moving on. Xu RenDong suddenly noticed that there was a wet mark under her trousers. Xu RenDong was very familiar with this color – it was blood.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long before the soaked cloth couldn’t take more. Blood flowed down her ankles, creating shocking red footprints in the pure white snow.     shocking.     

Xu RenDong pursed his lips and had an urge to help her but he quickly realized it wasn’t possible. How could he help her?

This was her memory, something which happened more than 20 years ago and it was useless to do anything now. What’s more, the place she was now heading…     

Sure enough, when Zhong Xiu finally arrived at the brightly lit place, a familiar building appeared in front of her.     

– Welfare Institute. Sure enough, it’s the welfare home.     

This was indeed the snowy night he was born, the snowy night he almost died.    

Xu RenDong watched helplessly as Zhong Xiu put his infant self at the door of the orphanage. After knocking on the door a few times, she left without looking back. She was still walking slowly and her thin body seemed to be weaker than before, as if she would fall down in the next second.     

The baby that suddenly left his mother’s arms was so cold that he burst into tears. When Zhong Xiu heard the cry, her footsteps stopped, but she did not look back. The baby was not comforted and cried more. He kicked his little hands and feet. The quilt was quickly kicked away and the delicate hands and feet were exposed.     

Frostbite. In severe cases, necrosis and amputation are required.     

Xu RenDong stood in the darkness and watched all this silently. Snowflakes fell on the baby and accumulated more and more until he turned into a little white snowman. Xu RenDong could almost imagine the weight of the snow piled up on his body——

No, it was not imagination but memory. What he remembered was the icy, heavy feeling of snow on his body.

He also remembered that he had frostbite when he was a child and his hands and feet were rotten. It was able to heal slowly thanks to the principal who applied ointment to him and soaked him with traditional Chinese medicine every day.

Fortunately, the principal came out immediately after hearing the doorbell. Wrapped in thick cotton pajamas, she cried out when she saw the baby on the ground, ran over and picked him up. But in just a few minutes, the baby was already frozen stiff and even his cries had become weak.

The principal held the baby tightly in her arms and looked around, but couldn’t find who had left the child.

The principal sighed and walked quickly towards the orphanage with the baby in her  arms. Xu RenDong’s eyes followed her and his mood was extremely complicated.

Whatever, let’s drive Zhong Xiu into the elevator first.

In the dream, he is omnipotent after all. After thinking about it, he conjured a chainsaw for himself and put on a hood. After changing into the costume of a chainsaw killer, Xu RenDong closed his eyes. Within the span of a thought, he walked up behind Zhong Xiu.

Despite being unburdened by the baby, Zhong Xiu did not feel much relieved. She was panting harder and walking more slowly. Xu RenDong quietly went around in front of her and yanked the chainsaw to pull the wire. The sawtooth spun at a high speed, making a low, terrifying hum.     

Zhong Xiu raised her head in surprise when she heard the sound. There was a hint of horror on her pale and bloodless face. She opened her eyes wide and the tall figure of the masked man was reflected in her clear eyes.

Xu RenDong held a chainsaw and approached step by step. Zhong Xiu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground into the snow. A large area of ​​blood quickly smeared under her and the red was dazzling.     

…her bleeding still hasn’t stopped?     

Xu RenDong felt a stabbing in his heart and his movements slowed. Zhong Xiu raised a small face full of fear but foolishly didn’t know how to escape. Xu RenDong raised the chainsaw high and was about to cut her down. Zhong Xiu screamed and covered her face with his hands.     

Hey you, run away!

Xu RenDong was helpless. He could only pretend that the chainsaw was stuck by the branch above his head and made an appearance of trying to pull it out. Zhong Xiu was stunned for two seconds and then she came to her senses. She scrambled up and stumbled back towards the orphanage. Xu RenDong trotted behind her, already thinking about who he would go to next after sending Zhong Xiu away.

Zhong Xiu finally ran to the front of the orphanage with the buzzing sound of the chainsaw chasing her. The welfare home was brightly lit and the yellow halo gave people a sense of security. Even Xu RenDong felt reassured when he saw it. Unexpectedly, Zhong Xiu suddenly stopped while running. Xu RenDong almost didn’t stop in time and nearly hit her, so he quickly put away the chainsaw for fear of accidentally splitting Zhong Xiu in half.

What exactly do you want to do?!

Xu RenDong frowned and watched as Zhong Xiu turned around and ran towards the wilderness again.

Instead of asking for help, you run to a place where there was no one. Is there a problem with your brain?

The snowstorm is getting bigger and bigger. If he keeps running like this, he doesn’t know whether Zhong Xiu will freeze to death first or die from excessive blood loss first. Xu RenDong frowned and pulled the wire fiercely, turning the sawtooth. He came to Zhong Xiu in a flash and blocked her way again.

Zhong Xiu screamed. This time, instead of sitting down, she turned her head and ran in another direction—still with her back to the orphanage.

She seemed panicked but still deliberately avoided the orphanage?!

Xu RenDong was puzzled. He flashed a few more times and rushed Zhong Xiu in the direction of the orphanage. However, Zhong Xiu was still determined to run into the wilderness, no matter how he couldn’t stop her.

Are you looking for death!?

Xu RenDong gradually lost patience and was too lazy to play the game of cat and mouse again. He stopped playing and picked up Zhong Xiu who was like a chicken, and let her struggle and kick. The blizzard was getting bigger and bigger and it hurt his face. Xu RenDong simply took off the cape, wrapped Zhong Xiu inside, and then carried her on his back like a sack.

Zhong Xiu kept kicking and beating behind him but she was a thirteen-year-old child who was extremely weak due to excessive blood loss. Her kicking and beating were like being scratched by a kitten, it didn’t have any lethality.

Xu RenDong quickly came to the orphanage and opened the door. The warmth hit his face, instantly melting the ice and snow on his face. The familiar sight in the orphanage warmed his heart. He felt as if he could get shelter as long as he returned here and all harm would be blocked.

Zhong Xiu was still struggling slightly behind him and Xu RenDong knew that she wasn’t dead yet. But there wasn’t much time because her blood had flowed down the cloak on Xu RenDong’s back, making his entire back wet and sticky.

How can a child bleed so much?

Xu RenDong had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He suppressed his emotions and looked around for the elevator. All he could see were familiar sights. Toys were scattered on the ground and children’s paintings were posted on the walls. It was the place where he lived for more than ten years.

But—there was no elevator.

In reality, the welfare home does not have an elevator. But why wasn’t it here now?

In Zhong Xiu’s dream, there was only the building of the orphanage. The place outside the orphanage was a wilderness. How could there be an elevator?

But where would it be if it wasn’t here?

Behind him, Zhong Xiu’s movements became weaker and weaker and he could hardly hear her panting. Xu RenDong’s heart was tight – Zhong Xiu was dying and there was no time left.

Xu RenDong had no time to think about it and teleported with a thought to the principal’s room. The principal was wiping the blood from the baby with a hot towel. Xu RenDong shoved the half-dead Zhong Xiu into the principal’s arms, ignoring her stunned expression and directly urged his mind to leave the dream.

The huge suction instantly captured Xu RenDong. After a brief dizziness, he opened his eyes and was back in the room.

He immediately leaned over to check on Zhong Xiu’s situation. Fortunately, although she looked bad, she was still breathing. At least she was not dead yet.

Xu RenDong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly frowned again.

What happened to Zhong Xiu? Why was there no elevator in her dream?

Xu RenDong couldn’t help looking at the other side of the big bed. The sheets were crumpled and the human figure could still be vaguely seen but the bed was empty. It made him feel empty and uneasy.

He frowned tightly and sighed again.

There weren’t any other options. Lian Qiao has left and he had no one to discuss things with. He could only figure things out on his own.
