Chapter 9 She Doesn’t Want to Die!
An Junxi didn't know what time it was, only that it was completely dark. There was no light in the room, just the faint moonlight streaming through the window. Occasionally a few crows flew past outside, their hoarse and miserable cries traveled far in the night, making one's spine tingle.
Gu Jinxiu, despite being bold, was still just a child. He was trembling all over and tightly snuggled against An Junxi, asking, "Cousin, what is that?"
Though he didn't utter a word of fear, he looked terrified.
An Junxi felt sorry for the child and reassured him, "It's just some birds, nothing to be scared of."
Gu Jinxiu nodded but continued to cling tightly to An Junxi, only then did he feel a bit more secure.
An Junxi stayed quiet for a while before shouting outside, "Is anyone there? We're starving!"
She had only had a simple meal at noon and had been hungry since early morning.
She then asked Gu Jinxiu, "Are you hungry?"
Gu Jinxiu nodded, looking pitiful.
Soon someone came to open the door, lit a candle in the room, and threw a few sandwiches and two bottles of water in front of them, "Eat!"
An Junxi said, "Big brother, how can we eat if you don't untie us? One of us is a girl and the other a child, where could we possibly run to?"
