Wishful Things

And when he came here, the other party still didn't notice it, so it can be seen that he is just an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts.

But being locked in this secret room, how could he be a truly ordinary person?

Wu Chao couldn't guess the other party's identity for a moment, so he walked towards the screen.

It's easy to see who it is.

Just as he walked around the screen and came to the bed, the person lying facing the inside finally noticed it, because Wu Chao never concealed the sound of his footsteps.

It was a very young man.

Hearing the movement, the man suddenly opened his eyes, turned around to look, and saw a person in black robe standing in front of him, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"You... who are you!"

The man sat up very quickly, huddled into a ball and hid in the inner corner of the bed, tightly hugging the quilt in front of him, his handsome face was full of fear and defense.

"..." Wu Chao felt that this scene was strange for no reason.

Doesn't he look like the kind of guy who would take men lightly?

He is not interested in men, not to mention that he has a sweetheart now.

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, the man trembled again: "...what do you want to do to me? If you get closer, I will call someone!"

For so many years, he has never seen a stranger come here.

The appearance of this young man made him instinctively aware of the danger.

Wu Chao frowned slightly.

The words became more and more strange.

call someone?

"According to my investigation, there is no one else here." He looked at the man and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you."

The other party looked weak and weak, and there was no threat to him at all.

As for silence, there is no need for this.

"Then who are you...?" The tremor in the man's voice still persisted.

The screen blocked the light of the candle, and neither side could see the other's description clearly.

Wu Chao glanced at the figure huddled in the corner of the bed, and said, "Come out and talk."

After all, the scene of this conversation is too strange.

He stepped out of the screen. After hesitating for a moment, the man got off the bed slowly, not forgetting to put on his shoes and coat.

Wu Chao stood in front of the desk, looking at the people who came out.

It looked like he was just a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, his figure was similar to him, but he was slightly thinner than him.

As for why you want to compare the other party with yourself——

Wu Chao's gaze was fixed on that face.

It was a face at least five points similar to his...

In the past, the boy might not be so sure, but it's different recently - because he has a girl he likes, he has paid more attention to his appearance recently than usual.

While he was observing the other party, the other party was also looking at him.

There was obvious astonishment in the man's eyes, and he said in a daze for a while: "So it's you..."

Wu Chao asked calmly, "Do you recognize me?"

"I know it, but I don't know it." The corner of the other party's mouth suddenly burst into a wry smile, pointing to a picture album on the table, and said: "Someone always sends you a daily portrait, let me learn your manners and demeanor. But I always It’s because they didn’t learn much, just learned superficial appearances.”

The people in the painting, the way they move their hands and feet, are all things that he can't learn.

He has also read a lot of books, so he knows exactly where the gap lies. The other party is a high-spirited and handsome young man, and he is just a poor fellow locked up here. How could he learn so well?

Wu Chao glanced at the opened album.

So far, there is no need to ask the meaning of the other party's presence here.

He asked directly: "Who are you from?"

The man shook his head.

"I don't know, I only know that the person who comes to deliver things every day is a young servant."

As for the servant's master, he had never seen it, nor could he guess it.

He didn't even know where he was, and what was the origin of this family—but it could be seen that it was definitely not an ordinary family.

If it was an ordinary person, he would not have been able to change him out of the death row back then.

——His father committed a felony, and he was going to be murdered by the gang.

Hearing his answer like this, Wu Chao had a resolution in his heart, and then asked: "Do you know how long you have been locked up here?"

"More than five years."

The man's complexion was very fair, even whiter than Wu Chao's. It was a slightly sickly porcelain white that hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

He looked at the bookshelf at this time, and said: "You read a lot of books. I have been reading every day for the past five years, but they said that these are only one-tenth of what you have read."

But fortunately, having these books with him can make his life less difficult.

Wu Chao followed his gaze, looked at those books, and asked, "Did you never go out in the past five years?"

"About half a year ago, I did go out once. I went to a faraway place in a carriage..."

Before that, he was looking forward to going out to have a look every day, even if it was just to have a look - but after he really left here, he suddenly felt that the only way to stay here was the safest.

He was even happy when he was sent back to this secret room.

half year ago……

Wu Chao clenched his fingers slightly.

Half a year ago was when he entered Beijing.

It was also the node where he had an accident...

Wu Chao looked at the young man: "Do you know what you need to do when you go out?"

The man shook his head slowly.

"They never tell me that."

Anyway, it wouldn't be to take him to relax on purpose.

He certainly didn't know the purpose of going out that time, but the meaning of his existence didn't seem difficult to guess—especially when he saw this young man with his own eyes tonight.

Although he hasn't been in contact with anything outside since he was thirteen years old, he has read a lot, his thoughts have broadened, and his understanding of many things is not too slow.

After hearing his answers these few times, Wu Chao knew that there was nothing else he could ask.

However, there is no need to ask any more questions.

As for the remaining mysteries, only his grandfather can answer them.

"Thank you for answering my questions." Wu Chao turned around after taking a last look at the other party.

"I should thank you, maybe I haven't talked to someone like this for a long time..." The young man whispered.

Looking at the back of the person who was about to leave, he suddenly asked again: "How much time do I have...?"

People are always greedy for life, even if he knows that he should have died five years ago.

Wu Chao paused slightly.

"I don't know this question better than you."

The young man looked dazed, watching his figure disappear.

"My son..."

Seeing Wu Chao coming out, Xiao Qi immediately went to meet him.

"Let's go back."

Under the boy's calm demeanor, no emotion could be seen.

After returning to the courtyard, Wu Chao cleaned his hands, took off his black robe, put on a clean undershirt, and lay down on the bed.

The lights had been turned off, and in the darkness, he never closed his eyes.

After thinking for a while, he took a break from his thoughts and raised his right hand to his eyes——

Looking at the things between his fingers, the boy's frowning brows were slowly smoothed away.

Thank you for the rewards of book friends such as Qinghan, Porridge, cutelittleme, etc., thank you for your monthly pass, message and subscription, thank you, thank you.

Good night.
