That big brother shouted, “Shut up!”
The group of students did not dare to disobey and quickly shut up again.
The Big Brother looked at Xia Qingrou with a mocking smile. “I said that he’s a scum, do you have any other opinions?”
Xia Qingrou lowered her head and said with difficulty, “This… This isn’t important. You can chop me up. Let… let him go.”
The Big Brother looked at the woman who had not said a word. He turned around and shouted, “Let Her Go!”
The person who was holding down Yang Gang immediately let go of him. He came over and pressed Xia Qingrou to the ground. He dragged her right hand forward and spread her fingers wide open.
The Big Brother looked at Yang Gang. “You still have a chance. You can use your own fingers to save her.”
Yang Gang’s expression was extremely ugly, but he quickly shook his head. “No, no, no!”
Xia qingrou bit her lip as her eyes turned red. It was obvious that she had been hurt quite badly by his words, but she stubbornly held back her tears.
“Beauty, look at how heartless the person you want to save is!”A young man beside her couldn’t stand it any longer and couldn’t help but say.
I clenched my fists in anger.
But with a knife to my neck, I was courting death!
I had to think of a way!
But there were more than ten of them. Even if I used the method taught by the beggar, I wouldn’t be able to defeat them!
Could it be that I could only watch as teacher Xia’s fingers were chopped off by them?
Yang Gang’s face turned green and red. It was obvious that he was a little indignant, suddenly, he shouted, “What’s wrong with me? This is just human nature! She’s very kind and I can’t compare to her, but this doesn’t mean that I’m heartless! If it were you guys, would you exchange yourself for her?”
The Big Brother looked at him from the corner of his eyes. “Looks like you have quite a temper.”
Yang Gang was shocked and said hurriedly, “No, no, no! I’m just saying that if it were a normal person, no matter who it is, they would consider themselves first…”
Big Brother was amused. “You’re really something. How can you say that?”
Seeing that he wasn’t angry, Yang gang mustered up his courage and continued, “That’s the case. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them if there’s anyone who dares to stand out and trade themselves for teacher Xia. I can guarantee that they won’t dare to do the same!”
As he spoke, he pointed at the cave on our side.
Big Brother’s eyes hardened as he looked at us.
Everyone froze. Those who had been scolding Yang gang in a low voice also shut their mouths and didn’t dare to speak.
Yang gang sneered and said, “See! Now no one dares to speak!”
Big Brother laughed again. “That’s why there’s no use in saying that you’re studying. You College students, What Higher Education have you received? Aren’t you all so selfish. Right, you’re their teacher, right? No wonder they’re all so useless. They’re all ‘good students’that you’ve taught, Haha!”
The surrounding students all lowered their heads, not daring to respond.
Teacher Xia, who was on the ground, still had her eyes closed. She said in a trembling voice, “Don’t make things difficult for them. They’re just children. Chop off my fingers.”
The Big Brother looked at her, he said mockingly, “Children? Children who are in their early twenties? Children who sleep with their girlfriends and boyfriends every day? They really dare to say that people who don’t study are going to social work at this time to support their families. Those who study at your place learn even more, but in the end, they don’t even have a shred of responsibility. They are still ‘children’! Hur!”
No one dared to respond.
Because they knew that as long as they dared to reply, they would be the ones to be chopped off!
“I’m willing to take teacher Xia’s Place!”
In and out of the cave, dozens of pairs of eyes stared at me in astonishment.
Even teacher Xia opened his eyes and looked at me in surprise.
I took a deep breath and said loudly, “Teacher Xia is a good person. Don’t hurt her. I’ll take her place!”
“Zhang Lu, you…”a few voices came from behind me. They were male and female. “Why are you so stupid…”
I didn’t want to bother with them at all. I only looked at that Big Brother.
I had no other choice but to do this!
Teacher Xia had helped me a lot. It was impossible for me to sit by and watch her get hurt!
“Interesting. There’s actually someone who is willing to trade himself.”That Big Brother looked at me and said thoughtfully, “Wait, you’re that kid who came with her just now, right? Why, is she your girl?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! She’s my teacher, that scum is her boyfriend!”I went all out and said straightforwardly.
A few gazes turned towards Yang gang again. This fellow’s face was completely drained of blood. His eyes kept turning randomly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
“Zhang Lu, don’t mess around! They’re not joking!”Teacher Xia, who was on the ground, shouted in panic.
“I know,”I said calmly.
However, only I knew that behind this calmness was the sweat that was constantly seeping out from my palms.
Of course I was afraid. That would mean losing a finger!
I didn’t really plan to let them chop off a finger of mine.
In the current situation, there was only one way to save teacher Xia, and I wouldn’t lose a finger either.
That Big Brother.
As long as I could capture him and use him to threaten him, I could force them to make way and escape from here!
But I couldn’t show it. I definitely couldn’t let the other party know of my plans.
“Let him come over,”the big brother shouted coldly.
“Kid, you have a bit of spirit.”The person who placed the knife on my neck removed the knife and pulled me out of the cave, pushing me towards the big brother.
In the cave, Whispers could be heard.
“Zhang Lu must be crazy!”
“What an idiot. He actually used himself to save teacher Xia.”
“He can’t be a transformed teacher Xia, right? Otherwise, how could he be so generous?”
“Don’t tell me. It might really be possible!”
..
I ignored them and nervously walked step by step to teacher Xia’s side, standing in front of my big brother.
The Big Brother was half a head taller than me. He looked down at me and smiled coldly. “If you want to save her, one finger won’t do.”
My heart trembled and I forced myself to say, “What do you mean? Didn’t you say one finger?”
The big brother said coldly, “I feel that one finger isn’t worth my time. If you want to save her, you have to chop off one of your hands!”
My expression changed. “What!”
Xia Qingrou also exclaimed from the ground, “This isn’t fair!”
Big Brother said coldly, “In this world, nothing is fair. You’ll have to learn to accept it sooner or later. I’ll be merciful and let you learn this lesson in advance!”
Xia Qingrou said with a trembling voice, “No… Don’t chop off his hand. I’ll chop off one of my fingers. It’s nothing…”
I couldn’t help but feel my breathing quicken.
I couldn’t find an opportunity!
If I wanted to catch this big brother, I would first need a knife. Then, I would catch him off guard.
However, these two conditions weren’t fulfilled. I didn’t have a knife, and the other party’s attention was on me. There was no chance at all.
If this continued, I would really have to offer one of my hands!
Just then, big brother suddenly laughed: “But I am willing to give you another chance..”
