Chapter Seventeen: Warming Feet

  Although I had long expected this might be the outcome, when it actually happened right before my eyes, my heart still couldn't help but tremble violently! Su Huaifeng seemed to have been scared stiff, standing there for a long time without saying a word, staring blankly for a while, then suddenly pounced on his mother and let out a mournful wail.

  I'm getting a bit panicked, watching someone being killed by their own hands is more terrifying than killing someone myself. I turned my head to look at Grandma, but she didn't have the slightest tense expression on her face. She walked up to Su Huaifeng's side in an affected manner and asked if he was okay, should they call the police?

  Su Huai Feng was still okay to my family, when he saw his grandma came, he hastily said call 120 emergency number, while saying that he turned his motionless mom over and hugged her in his arms. At this time, I saw Su Huai Feng's mom with her eyes wide open, the blood on her forehead was extremely terrifying, staining her whole face red. My heart was chaotic, I wanted to walk towards Su Huai Feng, but before I could get close to him, he immediately lifted up his angry face and yelled at me to scram!

  As soon as Su Huai Feng's voice fell, Mu Ou immediately walked to the front of Su Huai Feng, grabbed Su Huai Feng's collar and lifted both Su Huai Feng and his mother up. The back of his hand had bulging veins, without any hesitation, he swung his arm and threw Su Huai Feng and his mother heavily towards the snow-white front!

  This scared me stiff, I was frozen in place as I watched Su Huaifeng roll down from the hard wall. I suddenly panicked and rushed over to Su Huaifeng, asking what's wrong?

  But just as I was about to approach Su Huai Feng, the wooden puppet stretched out his hand and slung me over his shoulder, striding towards the door.

  I couldn't believe it, the wooden puppet had become so abnormal. Su Huifeng was slammed against the wall by the wooden puppet and must have been seriously injured. I shouted at the top of my lungs for the wooden puppet to put me down, but he didn't respond, like a block of wood. I called out to Xi Nainai for help, but she just stood there, unmoved, helping Su Huifeng instead. My big brother saw me shouting and tried to come over to assist, but the wooden puppet quickened his pace and ran off, moving very fast. My big brother, being a bit chubby, couldn't catch up with him at all. Moreover, the wooden puppet left through the small door of the hotel, so no one saw me, even if someone heard my cries for help and came to look, they wouldn't have been able to catch up with him.

  I'm about to collapse, all sorts of vicious words in my heart can't help but spew out and scold Mu Ou. What was originally a good day has now been completely ruined by this wooden puppet. I had barely accepted him because he saved me once before, but now I regret it immensely. He beat Su Huai Feng to such an extent, and even hugged me in front of her and left! Something like this happened, from now on I won't be able to explain it to Su Huai Feng!

  "Let me go! Are you going to send me back?! This is none of your business, why did you hit Su Huai Feng?! Why did you hit him, you damned wooden head?!"

  The wooden puppet didn't care how much I scolded it, it still carried me outside in the cold weather and ran. Because my feet kept kicking the wooden puppet, the shoes on my feet were lost. Originally, this winter was already wet and cold, making people uncomfortable. Now the cold wind was like a sharp knife, cutting fiercely at my toes, hurting so much that I could hardly shout out loud, I could only stiffen my whole body, tightly remembering the route the wooden puppet took me on. If it took me to an unfamiliar place, I would still be able to recognize the way back.

  This time, the wooden puppet didn't take me back to my shop, but instead took me to Ma Ling Slope, which was the temple where I first moved him out. Now it's daytime, and there isn't a single person on Ma Ling Slope. The wooden puppet directly took me into the broken temple, but as soon as his foot stepped inside, the originally dilapidated temple walls began to solidify and re-mold. In less than half a minute, an old temple with lit incense and candles appeared before my eyes. The surroundings of the temple were filled with bright candlelight, which reflected off the golden statues of the Bodhisattvas inside the temple. The entire temple was filled with a warm, golden glow, giving me an indescribably warm feeling.

  The wooden puppet put me on the cushion for people to kneel, took down all the hairpins from my hair, and let my hair fall on both shoulders. His hands slid along my shoulders to my icy feet, paused for a moment, stared at me with his eyes wide open, almost without any hesitation, and immediately grasped my feet and put them to his mouth to blow air.

  I felt nauseous and wanted to kick him, but before I could move my feet, the wooden puppet's hand drew a line on his chest, and all the clothes in front of him were torn apart. He quickly put my cold feet into his chest, which emitted normal human body temperature, and a comfortable warmth spread from my soles to every corner of my body, making me want to refuse, but my feet couldn't bear to move at all. I had no choice but to indulge in the warmth of the wooden puppet's embrace with a mix of guilt and comfort.

  When I didn't feel so cold, the wooden puppet approached me, and in my scream, he hugged me tightly in his arms, making it impossible for me to breathe!
