037, The Rules of Survival of Rats

I stayed in the room without doing anything until midnight. It was at this time that the sound of gentle footsteps sounded outside the door. Through the door, the count who heard Rooney answer entered the room.

Then, the door opened and Xingli, who had just taken a shower, appeared in front of the three of them. She was wearing only a thin shirt, her two slender and white thighs were exposed from under the shirt, and there were dripping drops of water on it. Her blonde hair was casually draped, and she was holding a towel in her hand, constantly wiping it.

"Shh..."

Xingli closed the door gently, then leaned against the door panel and let out a big breath. She smiled at the idiot and Hu Tao, took out two boxes of cookies from her drawer and handed them to the idiot.

"Sorry, there are no foods prepared at home today. Let's just take a look first. Especially you, small bread, don't be picky about food."

The idiot nodded and took the biscuit. The small bread bulged his mouth, held the big bear, and reached out to get the biscuit. The walnut and the idiot were eating it simply. Xingli looked around. It was not until the three of them ate all the biscuits that she smiled, took out a thermos from under the desk, poured out a cup for the three of them, and said-

"Now, can you tell me what happened?"

The idiot was silent for a moment. Then he told everything about it.

The idiot said it very slowly, even so slow that it was so slow that it described anything that happened in every second. And in the process of describing the facts, Xingli would often stop and ask again some details that sounded completely unnecessary to Hu Tao. However, the idiot didn't realize that there was any unnecessaryness in it. He would always do his best to tell her everything about his questions.

Such questions and answers are obviously too wasteful of time to tell the facts. Hu Tao obviously can't hold on anymore. You know, since early this morning, she has been preparing for her birthday party, and now she has experienced so many things and has long been exhausted.

"Princess, please sleep in my bed."

Seeing that Hu Tao was a little dozing, Xingli quickly got up and helped to tidy up her single bed. Hu Tao glanced at the small bed that could only tolerate lying down alone, and said tiredly: "I'm sleeping here...whether of you?"

Xingli smiled, took out a blanket from the closet, and sat by the wall with the idiot, surrounding the two of them: "We can do this. Two people are quite warm. Small bread, don't stay here, go to bed. Have a good sleep, and then after getting up tomorrow, there will be nothing left. Ah, those dolls were given to me by my sister, and if you like, I can give them to you."

Xiaomeng contained tears. After hesitating for a while, she finally nodded. She hugged the bear tightly again and went to bed with Hu Tao. After a while, she fell asleep...

Xingli and the idiot shoulder by shoulder, leaning on their thighs, huddling in the corner of the wall. Perhaps because the idiot is slightly taller, Xingli leans her neck against the idiot's shoulder after pulling up the blanket to wrap her toes.

The idiot lowered his head. Although the room was small, it was very warm. His hands were huddled in the blanket and touched Xingli's thigh skin that was as smooth as grease. On his shoulders, the smell of shampoo came.

"So, keep going. Start with you after you find blood sticking to your fingers."

The lights in the room were turned off.

Through the gauze curtains, the lights of patrolling outside and the torches kept flashing. At night, there were also dogs roaring and soldiers' shouts everywhere, pressing an invisible dark cloud over the entire city of wind-blowing sand.

In the deep darkness, the idiot spoke again and said the matter in its original form. After retelling all the causes and results of the matter, Xingli lowered her head, thought for a moment, and raised several questions. After getting the idiot's answer, she fell into thinking again.

"You think, why did this incident develop like this?"

After a long time, Xingli turned her head, looked at the idiot with golden and beautiful eyes, and her pink lips slightly opened, and she said.

“…I don’t care about these.”

Idiots respond with indifference.

"You can't control it? If you say so..."

“……………………………………………”

"You want to escape, are you?"

In the dark room, only the long breath of walnut and small bread was ringing. The idiot looked at the small bread lying on the bed with tears still hanging on the corner of his eyes, and said, "For her, I must escape."

Hearing the idiot say this, Xingli, who was originally leaning on him, suddenly turned over, spread her legs, and sat on the idiot. Her hands pressed against the wall behind the idiot, and the soft blonde hair fell down and hung on his face.

"You want to escape...but is this really the best way? Have you never thought about how to cleanse up the grievances on your body?"

In the room, darkness, tranquility...

The idiot raised his head and looked at Xingli facing him. After a moment, the idiot lowered his head again, and said in a cold and firm voice: "If you don't escape, you will be killed. I am already a murderer. In that case, I am the only one who is the most appropriate suspect."

"The words are correct, but..."

"This is not an ordinary murder."

The idiot's eyes were very calm. He did not give up hope, nor did he have any negative feelings. Escape was not an act of escape, but the most correct choice that could be made after judging the situation.

"Those who were killed were not civilians, but princesses of a country."

"This will cause a political incident. The Crystal Ice Republic, which had died, will urgently call the Bucks for murderer. Public opinion in neighboring countries will also pay attention to how the Bucks treat this incident. So for the Bucks Empire, the most important thing is not to find out the truth, but to find someone who looks the most like the murderer to take the blame."

"In this regard, I appeared at the murder scene for no reason, which is obviously the most questionable object. In addition, I will hold the princess hostage and arrest him. Any act can tie me to the murderer. For the buck who urgently needs to find the murderer, I am the most suitable scapegoat."

Xingli is silent.

After thinking for a while, she slowly left the idiot's abdomen and sat back next to the idiot, wrapped in a blanket.

In fact, Xingli also believes that what the idiot said is not wrong. Although idiot accepted the invitation from Princess Xuelian and went to the mansion with no one during this period. But after Princess Xuelian died, who can prove this?

Although Princess Hu Tao can say this, there are various inconveniences in what she said. For example, why did she make an appointment with a civilian man in the mansion? This problem alone can make Hu Tao speechless.

It doesn’t mean that the idiot’s grievances cannot be washed away. If you say it, the matter of her having an affair with an idiot will be immediately announced to the world. And even if she says it, how many people can believe what a woman says to help her man?

So, the idiot's decision to escape is, at first glance, the most correct and rigorous answer.

But……

"What should I do if bread...?"

Xingli leaned on the idiot's shoulder, looked at the little bread sleeping soundly on the bed, and said with some grievance.

"Do you... want her to... accept this kind of life of escape all day long?"

The idiot lowered his head and was speechless.

"It should be no need for me to say, you should know, right? It's so difficult to escape from the wind and sand. There are guards everywhere, and there are masters hiding in the dark everywhere. The guards at the city gates have also reached the highest alert. No one, even anyone, including the king himself, is absolutely not allowed to enter and exit. Under such strict defense, do you think you can escape successfully with a small bread?"

"I'll make it clearer. Even if you really escape successfully. Then what's next? The wind blows the sand and is surrounded by the vast desert. You can see far away at a glance. As long as you leave the city, any guard can find you very easily. In addition, even if you successfully escape the Death Desert, it's still in the territory of the Bucks. Your notice will be posted everywhere, and you will live in the situation of being hunted all day long. There is no moment of rest, nor a little bit of ease."

"Maybe, you can tolerate these. But can you bear it and let Xiao Bao live such a mentally tense life with you?"

Idiots can't answer Xingli's question.

She didn't need to ask these questions, but the idiots had considered them. Once upon a time, she was reluctant to leave because she could provide her with a relatively safe shelter. As long as she was in the wind and sand, her thinking speed could slow down a little, and the pace of life could become leisurely. There was no need to think about whether she would be alive the next day every day, nor did she have to worry about where tonight's supper would be.

But, so what if I have considered it? Under such circumstances, isn’t the most appropriate choice to escape?

"You don't have to run away."

Xingli's face was serious, and what was revealed in her beautiful golden eyes was a hint of determination. She wrapped the blanket wrapped around her body again and leaned against the idiot.

"You have to find a way to regain the things you lost. And to regain all this and continue to provide a safe shelter for the bread, then you must never escape. Not only can you not escape, you must also..."

"Find out the truth."

The idiot turned his head and looked at Xingli. At this moment, Xingli also raised her head and looked at the idiot.

Four eyes looked at each other, and the two brains were also running quickly. The idiot's eyes were empty, but slowly, a trace of light gathered in these eyes again...

The glory of darkness.
