"Boom—"

A thunderous sound made the dark night as bright as day. For a moment, Bai Zitao thought that it was God who had hit her because of her complaints. However, in the next second, there was really a heavy rain in the sky, and the bean-sized raindrops directly drenched her like a drowned chicken. The seemingly fierce fire was put out in an instant.

Bai Zitao was stunned. "Is she really an evil star?"

He avoided the fire, but when he saw God's happy rhythm in the rain this time, he had nothing left to live.

Although the fire had been put out, she was still tied up!

The original owner's body was extremely weak. It was not easy for her to escape from the fire. She could not be directly drenched to death!

Bai Zitao struggled a few times, but the rope did not show any sign of loosening. Looking down, he was so angry that he kicked in the air.

It was a cow rope that tied her up. The rope was so thick that it was as thick as death. Just as she was about to use all of her strength to give it a go, a young voice sounded from the distance.

"Sister, don't be afraid. I'll help you."

Bai Zitao turned his head with difficulty. He hit her in the face so that she couldn't open her eyes. She vaguely saw a thin boy in a patches of clothes who was stubbornly helping her untie the cow rope.

This was Zhou Xiaotian, the younger brother of the original owner.

Feeling Bai Zitao staring at him, Zhou Xiaotian raised his head and narrowed his eyes. His tender little face was full of maturity that did not match his age.

"Sister, don't be afraid. Xiao An will be released soon."

Later, Bai Zitao learned that Zhou Xiaotian had been hiding in the corner. He wanted to save his sister, but he couldn't defeat the people in the village. He had to wait for them to leave before he came to help his sister untie the ropes.

Looking at his firm eyes, Bai Zitao's eyes gradually became gentle, and the fear in his heart was gradually filled.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Little brother...

In the entire Mai He Village, except for the dead adoptive parents, Zhou Xiaotian was the only one who didn't hate the original owner. He was even often implicated by her.

"Little An, if you can escape today, I won't let you suffer again in the future."

Looking at Zhou Xiaotian's small body, Bai Zitao's eyes were hot and he promised in a clear voice.

Just now, Zhou Xiaotian was still shocked by Bai Zitao's ability to speak. But now, when he suddenly heard Bai Zitao comforting her, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Sister, you're not stupid anymore."

Bai Zitao was helpless. The original owner was actually good at talking, but he was a little stuttering.

"Yes, I'm not stupid."

"I won't be stupid in the future."

Only God knew how much people in the village hated her. They even made a knot. Zhou Xiaotian's fingers were still red, and the knot on the rope was not loosened at all.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Bai Zitao's face was getting paler and paler. His eyelids were uncontrollably holding each other as if they were fighting. Zhou Xiaotian was so anxious that he was about to cry, for fear that Bai Zitao would die like this.

"Sister, don't die..." No matter how young Zhou Xiaotian was, he was only a child a few years old, especially when his parents had just died. He was so scared that he burst into tears. "Father and mother have left. Sister, sob, sob. You can't leave Xiao An behind."

Bai Zitao tried hard to open his eyes, and his voice was like a mosquito's buzz. He said weakly,

"Sister, I won't die. Go home and get the scissors. Hurry up, hurry up."

Zhou Xiaotian didn't dare to go. He was afraid that as soon as he turned his head, Bai Zitao would let go of him. He stubbornly pulled the rope with his hands and refused to leave.

"If you don't go, I, I'm really going to die."

Bai Zitao urged her. She knew that she couldn't untie the cow rope with her bare hands, so she had to use tools. Mai He Village was not far from here, and she felt that she should be able to hold on until Zhou Zhou'an came back.

"Lil An, go now. Wait for me, sister."

The word "death" scared Zhou Xiaotian. He answered in a hurry, turned around, and ran to the village. After a while, he disappeared from Bai Zitao's sight.

Perhaps in other words, it was Bai Ziqi who closed his eyes.

She really had no strength left.

There was only the sound of the rain in Bai Zitao's ears, which made her uncontrollably imagine the plot of being found out in the wilderness. Just as she was about to give up, a man's voice suddenly sounded.

Master, look, there's a dead man tied up there.

Dead person? Which eye of yours saw that it was a dead person?

Bai Zitao complained in his heart. She wanted to refute, but she didn't have the strength.

"Let's bury him."

The voice was also from a man, who should be the master of the former.

The man walked into Bai Zitao's room and spoke again. There was a hint of banter in his tone.

"Oh, she's not dead yet. She's still breathing heavily. But it seems that she won't live long. I'll be a good person and let her die a better death."

If Bai Zitao had wanted to scold her just now, he would have attacked her now.
