Chapter 226: I Am Willing to Block the Blade for You

"My daughter cannot get rained on."

Since she wasn't allowed to hold it over her head, wearing it on her body would have to do, right?

She still took off her clothes and draped them over Shi Ran.

Her daughter could not get rained on; the consequences would be very serious.

Seeing that Shi Youxuan dared to disobey him, Feiying immediately gave a wink to his subordinate, who understood and flicked a flying knife toward Shi Youxuan's arm!

He didn't want her life, but he wanted to give her a small punishment as a warning.

Shi Youxuan didn't dodge; she closed her eyes, waiting for the pain that was about to come!

She wasn't afraid; she understood the rules of these people to some extent.

Just suffering a bit of pain and taking a knife wound to save her daughter from a serious illness was worth it.

Five years ago, she had blocked a bullet for Zhu Yiwen, which led to their later "cooperation" and gave her an identity to settle down and make a living.

"Pfft—"

The sound of the blade entering flesh and skin could be heard, yet she felt no pain.

Shi Youxuan opened her eyes; the Dagger had pierced into Alisha's body, and he had used his own body to block the blade for her.

"Alisha, Alisha, how are you?"

The tip of the blade was stuck in his shoulder; it must have been very painful, but he didn't make a sound.

He used his other hand, which could still move, to gesture to her, telling her to hurry and shield the child from the wind and rain, and not to worry about him.

How could she not worry?

Shi Youxuan couldn't help but shed tears; she put the clothes on the child, told her to be careful, and then went to check his injury.

He dodged, refusing to let her look no matter what.

The blade was stuck in his body and there wasn't much blood flowing, the wound wasn't deep, but Sheng Hanyu gritted his teeth and pulled the blade out himself.

"Swish!" A line of blood sprayed out, and the wound began to drip blood.

"Mommy, hurry and bandage Alisha."

Shi Ran was too bold; she wasn't scared even when she saw blood, and she reached out her little hand to cover his wound.

"Alisha, are you in pain? If you're in pain, cry it out; once you're done crying, it won't hurt anymore."

"I'll blow on it for you."

As Shi Ran said this, she really went to blow on his wound, and Sheng Hanyu smiled, his smile exceptionally bright.

At this moment, he felt everything was worth it.

Even if he were made to die right now, it would be worth it!

Feiying followed the rules; having stabbed one person, he indeed stopped bothering them.

Shi Youxuan tore a strip of cloth from the hem of her own clothes and bandaged Alisha.

The three of them huddled tightly together.

The rain fell harder and harder, and Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu leaned tightly against each other, arching their bodies to form a wall of flesh to shield Shi Ran from the wind and rain.

The little one felt heartache for Mommy and Alisha, especially since Alisha was still injured; she didn't want them to make such a great sacrifice for her.

But Mommy told her to be obedient, saying that only if she was obedient would Alisha's injury not be in vain.

Alisha nodded frequently, meaning the same thing.

"Sob..."

Children in the crowd began to cry.

And this crying was contagious; if one person cried, a second would follow, and the crying grew louder and louder, almost drowning out the sound of the rain.

Shi Ran asked Mommy in a low voice: "Mommy, do you think we will die here?"

"No."

Shi Youxuan pulled her daughter into her arms; although her tone was certain, it was only to comfort her daughter. Whether they would get out alive, she had no idea herself.

The efficiency of the departments in L Country had always been low.

The negotiation expert had been gone for two hours and hadn't returned; the people in charge above must be shirking responsibility to one another.

Those thugs were all desperate men; who knew if they would kill them?

If they didn't agree, they probably would.

Shi Youxuan was feeling very anxious and uneasy, and just at this moment, she discovered that Alisha was running a fever!

His face was flushed, his breathing had deepened, and his body was as hot as a burning coal.

"Alisha, hold on, you must be fine, you must not be fine." She cheered Alisha on.

He nodded heavily.

He smiled at her and signaled with his eyes, telling her he was fine.

None of them would be fine; they would surely turn bad luck into good fortune and emerge from the disaster unscathed.

She didn't know why, but Alisha's gaze made her feel at ease.

She was no longer anxious, nodded firmly, hugged her daughter with one hand, and hugged Alisha in her arms with the other!

So happy.

At this moment, Sheng Hanyu even wanted to thank the kidnappers, and wanted time to stay in this moment forever; a huge sense of happiness surrounded him, and even his body didn't feel very uncomfortable.

He felt happy.

But Feiying and his men were already very impatient, and even more annoyed by the crying.

"All of you shut up! Do you believe me if I say I'll kill you if you cry again?"

"Sob... I want to go home!"

"I want to go home too, Daddy save me..."

The crying grew louder and louder, mostly from the children.

Having held out for so long without breaking down, the children's endurance had reached its limit; once it started, none of them could stop.

Gradually, the adults were also infected, and a chorus of wailing erupted!

"Bang!"

Feiying fired a shot into the air; this worked well, and no one dared to cry or shout loudly anymore.

Even if they cried, it was only in soft sobs.

The hostages' emotions were "stabilized," and Feiying began to lose his temper: "I've already been patient for so long, but since there's still no word, it seems your country is prepared to abandon you... You, come out!"

He dragged the child who had been crying the loudest out of the crowd, threw him into the muddy water, and told him: "Your noise gave me a headache; you're the first one this time."

The number was dialed, and Feiying said: "Do you think I don't dare to kill? Listen carefully."

After speaking, he aimed at the child's chest and was about to fire, but the person on the phone hurriedly shouted for him not to be impulsive, saying they would immediately send someone to renegotiate with him.

The negotiation expert returned and told him: "The higher-ups have agreed to release your big brother, but you must guarantee the safety of the hostages; if one person dies, we will cut your big brother once."

"Fine, where is the person?"

"The person is already on the way; you should release the wounded first. You know the identities of these people; if anything happens to them, even if one person objects, you won't be able to leave L Country smoothly."

Feiying believed what he said.

Feiying agreed to let the injured leave, and Lady Zhang was carried away.

She wanted to take her son with her, but Feiying did not agree.

So she begged Shi Youxuan to help her look after her son; if it weren't for Shi Youxuan, she would have bled to death before the rain even started.

She hadn't expected that at a time like this, only Shi Youxuan would help her, while those she usually associated with were unreliable.

"Alright, go to the hospital with peace of mind; I'll look after the child for you." Shi Youxuan pulled Bitichong over and had him stay with Shi Ran.

Qi Heng's mother also suffered a minor injury, and Feiying had originally agreed to let her go out for treatment.

But since her son could not go out with her, she refused.

Sheng Hanyu's face was even redder.

His body felt as hot as a burning coal, yet he was shivering with cold all over.

Shi Youxuan demanded that Alisha also be allowed to go down for treatment; he had been stabbed earlier and was now running a fever, and Feiying agreed with almost no hesitation.

However, Sheng Hanyu also refused; he shook his head and waved his hand, using his one mobile arm to write on the ground: If we leave, we leave together; if we stay, we stay together!

Shi Youxuan was both anxious and angry, urging him: "You have injuries on your body, and we are perfectly fine; you should go out first, save as many as we can."

He still shook his head.

The thugs grew impatient, cursing and telling them to make it quick; if they were going to leave, they should hurry, and if they didn't leave and happened to die, they shouldn't blame their big brother.

Sheng Hanyu insisted on not leaving, so he stayed behind.

The rain stopped, and the sun came out.
