Chapter 10 Chapter nine

As soon as Dinan sat down, it seemed that he could no longer stand up. Liz re-bandaged his wound and checked carefully. Fortunately, the bullet did not stay in his leg. He leaned back against the pillar, closed his eyes and did not move. As if unaware of the movement of her hand on his injured leg, Liz was careful not to hurt him as much as possible. "I don't think Ash can handle the old man." Dinan said suddenly, "He's not cruel enough." "Di Nan, how long did you live with him?" She asked softly. "I don't know, probably less than a year! At that time, I learned to be independent when I was only eight years old, and I could do everything."

he said flatly. "Since you have learned to be independent, why don't you run back to Xiaohong? Let him sell you." She said indignantly. Di Nan opened his eyes and looked at her, "Because I was drunk, he got me drunk for two days before the auction." Liz was startled for a long time before she made a sound, "But you are only eight years old." He looked away, "You should go to bed, good night." She stood up and lifted the bucket that was stained red by his blood. He closed his eyes and leaned against the pillar with a tired face. However, he still wanted to stay awake and guard the old man all night, but he was unwilling to tie him up. Why?Because Di Nan was a prisoner himself, and couldn't bear to restrict other people's freedom?Or did the old man treat him badly, but he still had a feeling for it?

She went to the spring to fetch clean water, thinking that Dinant was like a book to be read carefully. "Liz, can I talk to you?" Ash approached her. "Why haven't you slept yet? Dinan wants you..." "I know, I'm tired of listening to his orders." Ash pouted impatiently. Liz kept walking with a straight face, "He is the leader of our small group, and he tried his best to save our lives." Ash grabbed her arm, "Liz, I didn't mean to annoy you, I'm jealous, what I really want to say to you is..." He licked his lips, "Will you marry me?"

She took a step back, "This... this is too sudden!" "It's not sudden at all, Liz, I love you." Ash said sincerely, "I love your beauty and courage, you are not bored with other women, and I can live with you for a lifetime, and my life will never be boring." Not boring." "Isn't it my father's money that attracts you?" Ash didn't answer, hugged her and kissed her tenderly on the lips, "In the beginning, yes, I thought I would marry you even if you were as ugly as a donkey, but your beauty surprised me, after these days Come to get along, I have fallen in love with you deeply. Please marry me, even if your condition is that I am not allowed to touch your father's money, I still very much hope that you can be my bride, as long as you are by my side I have the courage to struggle and start a new business.”

He smiled and said, "We will be the most compatible and suitable couple. I can imagine you twisting my ears to get up when I am lazy." She laughed, "Do you take me for a hare?" He hugged her a little tighter, "Liz, if you can't promise me right away, please at least promise me that you will think about it." She sighed softly, "My father will be satisfied with a son-in-law like you." Ash lit up her eyes and asked, "You mean you will marry me?" "Damn it! She didn't say it." Dinant's hard voice came out suddenly, "Pister, put down your hands. If you don't let go, I'll knock them off."

Liz left Ash's embrace, restrained her anger and glared at the savage Dinan, "Didn't you fall asleep?" "You want me to fall asleep so you can sneak up on me with him?" God, what tone is this?Liz really wanted to pick up a rock and smash his head. He was like a jealous husband who called her a slut who had sex with her. "Dinant," Ash yelled, "what do you mean? Don't forget your mission is to help me win her." Ash suddenly became alarmed, and looked at her with apologetic eyes, "Oh! Liz..." "It's okay, Ash, I know." She took a breath to persuade herself to calm down, "Dinan, you have no right to interfere with my private life, you go back to the cabin..."

Before she finished speaking, Dinant grabbed her and let her approach him, "Pister, go back and watch over the old man, I'll go over right away." Ash hesitated for a while, but Di Nan's fierce eyes made him look at Liz before obediently going back. "Get your dirty hands off!" Liz tried desperately to break free from him, but in vain, "Who do you think you are? You're just a gunman hired by my dad to marry me and Ash." "I don't know how you found out, that was before...." "Really? How long ago?" She glared at him angrily. "Before what?"

He pressed one hand to her nape and kissed her out of the blue. At first she resisted, but when his fierce kiss turned gentle and passionate, she melted. There was no way to refuse, no way to think, no way to stand, her knees were weak , must lean on him and rely on him to support the weight of her body.He was like a traveler who was dying of thirst, when she was like a spring in the desert, he repeatedly sucked and kissed her until she fainted from lack of oxygen, then he released her lips, pressed her head on his shoulder and hugged her tightly . It took a while to recover her strength, "No, Dinan." She tried to push him away, but he wouldn't let go, "Let me go."

He stroked her back back and forth with one hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "I can't stand seeing him touch you, I just can't stand it." She pushed him away hard, "You can't bear it? What right do you have to control what I do? I've been a fool enough in front of you, you gave me up, and now you're standing here without shame The gentleman I propose touches me." He lowered his face, "If Ash touches you again, I'll shoot you. You'd better stop tempting him, or you'll be an accomplice." "You!" She blushed with anger, "What do you think I am? Your confinement?"

"Liz, I don't want to quarrel with you," he said softly, "I haven't touched another woman since our sweet night." "Should I sympathize with you? You didn't touch other women because we were on the road and fleeing. You don't have time to fuck women and you want to take credit." Her lungs were about to explode. "I have time, but I don't want to touch other women." He said confidently, did he think she would really sympathize with him?There is no door, "So should I comfort you? You are the most shameless and disgusting disgusting ghost in the world. Ash is a hundred times nobler than you. He proposed to me and asked me to spend my life with him. It's not like you just treat me like a whore."

"He wants to spend his whole life with your father's money." Di Nan insisted. "Even then, are you better than him? He wants my money, you want my body, and you all ignore that I am a human being, a human being with a mind, a soul and a feeling. Let me tell you, Mr. Dinan , maybe I don't want either of you, and I'm especially sure I won't be your bitch." He grabbed her shoulder, "Liz, you want me, I know, your eyes are full of passion, I want you too, it is a natural law for men and women to please each other, why can't we share another sweet night?" She gritted her teeth and raised her chin, "You want me to mean that you want to marry me?" He immediately let go of her and took a step back as if she had suddenly turned into a burning coal, "Marry? Liz, you know that right? It's possible. Your father will throw me back into prison for life, and then you will be a widow for the rest of your life, and I can't harm you." "Man!" She snorted, "Your memory is so strange, you forget my father's threats when you want me, and you use my father as an excuse when you mention marriage. Mr. Dinan, listen to me, I will definitely I won't sleep with you again." She angrily pressed the bucket into the spring to scoop water. "You'll surrender," he said behind her back. "I warn you again, you'd better not let Ash touch you." "Why don't you go to hell!" She turned to face him and yelled, "What happened to me with Ash has nothing to do with you, I will never let you touch me again." She turned back and soaked her face in the cold spring, never After cooling down, her head was about to smoke, and the blood that was boiled by Dinant's kiss just now was still burning. She waited for Dinan to leave and stayed by the spring for a while, and returned to the cabin to sleep next to Bila when she was completely calm, but she couldn't sleep well, and woke up several times in the middle of the night, and every time she saw Dinan leaning against the pillar Keep your eyes open to guard the old man. When morning came, her spirits were as bad as if she hadn't slept all night. She rubbed her eyes and saw Ash was saddling outside, and walked towards him without thinking. Ash greeted her with a smile, "The old man wanted to slip away last night. Fortunately, Dinant didn't relax his vigilance. We have to tie him up on the horse. I will be very happy to lose his burden at that time." He stretched out his hand and pulled her closer, "I won't see you again in a few days, I hope you will miss me." He kissed her neck, "I hope you will nod and say yes to my marriage proposal when I come back." As soon as Ash finished speaking, Dinan pushed him away from Liz, and he fell to the ground unsteadily.Dinan spread his legs apart and clenched his hands into fists, looking ready to fight. "Come on! Pistor, stand up, you asked for it, what? Don't you dare to fight with a wounded man?" "For God's sake." Liz hurriedly helped Ash stand up and stood in front of him, "Dinan, if you touch him again, I'll elope with him, what's wrong with you? You're like a mad dog. " Dinan put down his fist and turned his face away, and said in a low voice, "Pister, you go away! Remember, beware of the old man every minute, I think he guessed that we are hiding here to escape the pursuit of the enemy, he must I really want to sell information to make money." Then he turned back to look at Liz, "You won't go with him, will you?" He lowered his head, caressing his injured leg intentionally or unintentionally, "You know that if you go, I will go Chase you back, and Bila has no one to take care of her." Liz looked at him for a long time, and finally said softly, "I won't go, but you can't fight with Ash, please go away now, I want to say goodbye to him." Di Nan didn't move, as if he had taken root in the ground, "You can say goodbye to him now, he doesn't have time to do the farewell ceremony, he has to go on the road immediately." "If you think..." Before she finished speaking, she heard Bila calling her from the room, and she responded loudly, "I'll come." After she finished speaking, she deliberately hugged Ash with both hands, trying to give him a hug A farewell kiss, but Dinan pulled her away before her lips touched Ash, and he hugged her from behind her waist, even though she avoided bumping him with her elbow, he didn't let go. "Pister, get on your horse." He growled in a tyrant voice. Ash hesitated for a moment and got on the horse with a sigh, "We'll settle this matter when I come back." Di Nan hugged Liz and retreated, "You have to watch the old guy, otherwise your life will be in danger." "Okay." Ash murmured, taking a deep look at Liz, "Old man, let's go!" A rope was tied between Ash and the old man's horse, and the old man's hands were tied and his ankles were tied. The rope was tied to the stirrup, and he didn't speak, but the fierce look in his eyes made it clear that he wanted to kill Dinant. When Ash left, Liz pushed Dinan away, "I'm tired of you wanting to be my master, who gave you the power to control me?" He hesitated to speak, and ended up walking towards the spring with his injured leg stiff.Liz stood where she was, put her hands on her forehead and inhaled to stabilize her emotions before looking at Bila. "I thought they were going to fight," Billa said. "I can't wait to break his head," Liz handed Bila a water bottle. "He doesn't want me, and he doesn't allow others to touch me." Of course Bila knew who Liz was referring to, "He wants you, he wants you like crazy, I have never seen him so impetuous, even when he was wronged to take the blame for Michelle It's never been like that, and we've all been hoping he'll settle down with a decent woman." Liz looked at Bila curiously, "How long have you known Dinan? Why are you willing to live with him at Owen's house?" "He saved my husband's life." Liz froze, "Your husband?" Bila nodded, "I have been working for Xiaohong since I was fifteen years old. Dinan was only six years old at that time. He was the cutest and sweetest boy in the world. We all loved him. He was taken away by the miners when he was eight years old. , I also left for a few years to be a showgirl, and then I went back to Xiaohong, and when I saw Dinan he was grown up and handsome enough to fascinate everyone. Woman, I didn't get married until I was twenty-eight, Married to a farmer and had two children." "Child?" Liz couldn't believe that Bila, who looked quite young and had a beautiful body, was almost forty years old and had a child. Bila smiled and said, "I have two little boys who are extremely naughty. One day when I was in the town, I saw Dinan approaching me with a smile. People in the town where my husband lived didn't know my previous occupation. I was afraid that people would find out my secrets and despise me from Dinant contacting me. Now that I think about it, I am very angry with myself, but at that time I hid in a shop and pretended not to know him, and two days later I bumped into him on the street He, he pretended very gentlemanly that he didn't know me." "How did he save your husband's life?" Liz asked. "About a week later, a landlord insisted on buying my husband's farmland. My husband came to drive us away if he didn't sell them. I went back to Dinan to rescue him. He rescued my husband without hesitation, so when he When he said he needed my help, I kissed his family good-bye and went with him without asking what was the matter, and my husband trusted Dinant completely." Bila smiled and shook Liz's hand lightly, "When we were at Owen's house, I heard him complain that the damn blonde was trying to lure his soul out of his body." "Oh!" Liz blushed a little, "I have tempted him before, and I appreciate his responsible attitude, and he will stand up when I need help." "And he happens to be the most handsome man in the world." Bila added with a smile. Liz sighed, "I thought he was different from other men, I thought my relationship with him was mutual, but I was wrong, he wanted me to just treat me as one of the hundreds of women he had slept with. " "I've never seen him get jealous because of a woman. Are you sure he doesn't love you?" "Give him some money when the time comes." "You? Why? He treated you so badly and auctioned you off. Don't you hate him?" He said lightly, "I don't want him to steal any more. Psychologically, I still regard him as my father." Liz sighed, "I don't know how he became such a person, I bet he may have lost love and was stimulated and couldn't recover." Dinan looked at her like she was talking crazy, "How do you think he loved anyone?" "I found a picture of his lover." "Let me see." He said softly. Liz took out the photo from his pocket and handed it to him. He looked at it for a while before returning it to her. "He said he lost the photo, but I believe him." "Have you seen this picture?" He nodded, "It's the most precious thing in my life." "Who is she?" "He said it was my mother." Di Nan looked back at the sky. "Dinan, why don't you take the photo and ask if anyone knows her?" Liz asked anxiously, "That way you can find out who you are." He tightened his jaw, "I know who I am. The old man said that she only said one word of Dinan before she died." She turned the photo over, "There are a few letters behind, but they've faded to blur." "Sarah, I guess, that could be my mother's name, you know? I miss the sky, the bars in prison." Liz didn't want to change the subject yet, "How did he have this photo? If it was found in her luggage, there may be other clues to find out her identity." "He sold everything else, even her underwear. I imagine he threw the naked body into a ravine to feed vultures. There is no grave near here." He said indifferently. Liz exclaimed, "How can you say it so easily? She is your mother! She died for giving birth to you." He suddenly sat up, "She died because she was shot twice in the back." Liz was very surprised, "Who killed her? Why?" "Is there anything else to eat? If not, I'll go hunting." "Dinan, why would someone kill a woman who is about to give birth?" He finally looked at her, "Why do people cheat at cards? Why do they kill each other? I don't know, she just ran around here, got shot in the back, lay down and gave birth to me, said Dinan, and died, old man Wanted to sell her things, so waited to see her die. He stayed only for pictures when no one wanted to buy them. I'm hungry, can I eat? What's boiling in the pot? Do you want to go hunting with me?" "I...I can't leave Bila behind." "She can go with us. Walking and exercising her muscles and bones will be beneficial and harmless to her." "I..." She licked her lips, "I still have to clean up the house..." Dinan lifted her chin, "Liz, please come with me, I promise that I will not violate you, and I will not do what you don't want me to do." She took a step back and didn't dare to look at him, just his sexy and magnetic voice can melt people's will, "I shouldn't...I should...." "What should it be?" He followed suit, she took a step back and he took a step forward. "Liz!" Billa called from the room, "I want to exercise, can you please agree for my sake?" "Uh... well," she warned in a low voice, looking into Dinant's smiling eyes, "but you can't try anything, I won't surrender." He laughed even harder, "Sweetheart, I haven't asked you yet!" After they had eaten the venison soup, Fubila stood up, and Liz complained that Dinant should not drag his injured leg too far, but he only smiled at her. "Dinan, didn't you say that you had a garden here when you were a child?" Bila asked. Dinan and Bila talked speculatively, and Liz felt that she was an outsider, and she didn't know some people and things they talked about. Dinan pushed aside a few leaves on the top of the slope and called, "It's still here , I used to grow carrots, potatoes and strawberries, and they would eat the carrots as soon as they came out of the ground." "Is the old man's gold mine in this area?" Bila asked. "It's not far from here, just walk along this path for a while." Bila walked first, Liz slowed down to follow, Dinan waited for her to approach, and hugged her before she stopped, "Do you feel left out?" She tried to push him, but of course he couldn't, "No." "We can teach Billa to go away. I know a place that's just right for sex. It's beautiful. There's a spring running through it. Wildflowers bloom here and there. Would you like to have sex in a wildflower bed?" "I don't want to." She lowered her head to hide her feverish face, and she was a little distracted, "I won't be any man's plaything." "Why don't you think you can play with me too, and I can make you very happy." She broke away from his embrace, "You'd better get rid of your evil thoughts, I'm not a woman you can play with at will, I'm going home, marry and have a dozen children according to my father's wishes." "Marry Pistor?" he asked angrily. "I believe Ash will be a good husband. He proposed to me, and I will probably agree. What does it matter to you? You don't want to be restrained by your wife and children anyway. You choose your way and I choose mine. You Why are you yelling at me?" There was anger in his eyes, "Are you going to sell yourself to a paper certificate and a ring? Live your life with a boring man?" "That's my business." She glanced at him coldly and strode after Bila. Bila shook her head at her, "Are you two arguing again?" "He's a stinky, hard rock, doesn't he understand what 'no' means? No woman says no to him?" she raged. "Probably not," Bila said sternly, "but I've never seen him pursue women. Usually, as soon as he sits down, a bunch of women come to pester him. I was also dizzy when I heard his voice." "I don't just want a good-looking man and a nice voice, and he won't give more." Gunshots sounded nearby, and Bila said, "He probably hunted something, let's meet him." Liz didn't move, and Bila dragged her away, "In a few days, your father will come and take you away." , maybe you will never see Dinan again, why bother to vomit with him?" Liz bowed her head and walked silently, biting her lower lip to prevent herself from feeling anything about him whom she would never see again in the future, he just avoided playing with every woman who was obsessed with him, who cares? When they found Dinant, he was skinning a fawn, and Liz built a fire, and in a few moments the smell of roasted venison wafted up. "This place is not bad!" Di Nan handed her a piece of grilled meat. She looked around, knowing that this was what he called a good place to have sex. "Not bad," she answered him coldly, "Bella, why don't you tell us about the joys of being married? How old are your kids? " She ignored Dinan's groans, and listened with interest to Bila talking about her husband and children. Bila also asked about her career as a reporter, "I like it very much, but I don't want to do it anymore. I'm ready to settle down." "She thought that if a man touches her, he must marry her." Dinan suddenly said from behind her. "I'm not so dead-headed. I don't know how I thought I fell in love with you. You are so unbearable, domineering, arrogant, stubborn, and don't consider other people's ideas. You may not be happy if you marry me. I still marry you." Do others well." He gritted his teeth and said, "In another week I'll be free, and I won't have to put up with a spoiled rich daughter who thinks she can get anything if she asks. Did you hear that? I'm going to be free, no People can deprive me of my freedom again." "Stop! You two," Bila sighed, "you are like my pair of children, bickering when you meet, we don't have much time together, why don't you get along well? Dinan, you probably lack I have a bad sleep temper, and your legs are not feeling well, why don't you lie down and rest your head on Liz's lap and listen to her tell a story? I'm going to sleep for a while, I hope I won't be woken up by the sound of your quarreling." Liz finally said under Bila's silently persuading eyes, "Okay! I can lend out my legs temporarily." "You must first promise that you will not use this favor to force marriage." Di Nan said seriously. "Enough!" Bila ordered, "Dinan, stop talking and lie down." Liz sat with her back against the tree so Dinan's head rested on her lap, which was as stiff as his neck for a moment. "I'll tell a story from a book I read last year." "As long as no one in it gets married and lives happily ever after, any story is fine." He closed his eyes and said. "There are greed, murder, and revenge in that story, it must be to your liking." She insisted. "tell me the story." Her story begins with two men falling in love with the same woman. "I knew it," he murmured, "and love will be celebrated again!" But he didn't bother her to go on softly. A few minutes later, Liz heard Bila's low snoring, and Dinant seemed to be asleep. She felt safe and stroked his hair. He looked so young and handsome. She continued to tell herself the story and finished the tragedy. At the end of the song, she put her hand on Dinant's cheek to listen to the birdsong. "I like this story," he said softly. , "I thought you were asleep." She wanted to take her hand away. He pressed her hand one step earlier, "I like listening to stories." He kissed her fingertips, as if he could absorb nutrition from her fingertips. "Can you please stop doing this?" She was itching to be harassed by him. "Liz, if I want to get married, I swear you will be the first person I think about. In fact, I am very excited to think that I can live with you forever. You are very interesting, beautiful, and warm in bed. ..." She glanced at Bila with a red face, and Bila seemed to be really fast asleep. Dinan went on, "I'm going to tell you things I never tell anyone before I know it, but I'm not married, and I don't think I can stay in one place for long, if I dare say I'm going to marry your father's baby Daughter, he will put me back in jail if he doesn't cut off my head." Liz suppressed her anger. "I understand," she said in a sympathetic voice, "you are afraid of marriage. I refuse to sleep with a man who won't marry me. We just have to let it end." He stared at her sideways. "Liz, why don't we laugh while we can? We'll all go our separate ways and never see each other again." She smiled at him hypocritically, "If I say no, I mean no." For a few seconds she thought he was going to yell again, but he smiled so charmingly, "You can't blame a man for trying too much." He kissed her fingertips again, "From what I reckon Ash brought your dad There are still four days left, who knows what will happen in between?" "I know nothing will happen," she said firmly, but Dinant still smiled. The old man tried to escape three times but was caught by Ash. He complained that the rope was too tight, which made his blood unable to circulate and his hands were numb. Ash softened his heart and let him loosen a little. Ash had been riding the horse for two days without sleep. After the old man fell asleep, he lay his head on the saddle and fell asleep uncontrollably. After a while, the old man stood up and lifted a stone on the ground to hit Ash on the head, and then searched his things, leaving Ash lying in the field with bleeding forehead and bare feet, the old man picked up Ash's He heard the sound of a horse approaching when he was thinking about where to shoot him, and he quickly got on his horse and left in a hurry.
