"When do we.... this dose again?"
"I don't know.....why do ..... i don't think he is awake yet... what to do...."
Through his dazed state, Yue heard the broken conversation. Obviously, he was kidnapped and completely drugged. He could not even open his eyes.
His hands were tied behind his back.
Yue gently prodded that it to check for weakness.
His body was unnaturally weak. He could not even lift a finger properly...
'This is the worst... where am I.....'
After struggling for a while one of his eyes opened slightly. Through his thick lashes, he gazed around. There were three people here and they were all arguing loudly.
'Internal scuffle... I can easily escape if they continue to ignore Me.' slowly he wiggled his fingers trying to unwind the rope.
If it was any normal situation he could have torn apart the rope with just a tug.
'they must have injected me with some weird drug... poison? I think so.. Fuck. How will I escape? I need to use my brains and trick them?'
He silently listened to their conversation.
The three kidnappers seemed like they were working for someone named boss. They were ordered to kidnap and entrap him while the boss was on the way.
'That man must be powerful. I must leave this place before this so-called boss person comes around,'
He silently started to work on the rope. Since he could not break free, he only had to unwind the knot.
With his thumb and index finger, he slightly created a gap for his finger to go in between the knot.
Little by little he could feel the binding loosen up.
"ahh We have to give him the first dose!"
"Fuck I don't like needles. You do it!"
"You do it. What if he dies,"
"he can't die from a drug you dido!"
The three kept tossing around a small pouch that most likely contained the drug.
" Shit....' he was too late. The knot was still tight. He could not get out of it now.
If they drug him again it will be the end of it.
'What can I do.. what can I do...I can't let them drug me again. Only when I'm conscious can I escape this place...'
"Hey is that guy awake? Should we even drug him when he is unconscious? that fucker was the killer doctor for god's sake. We can't just listen to him. If anything happens to this pretty guy boss will fuck us up," the older guy mumbled, walking close to him.
Yue pretended to be unconscious.
The man held his cheek and patted it slightly.
"He's still out cold. We can drug him again later."
"We have to do it right now!"
"Fine. Fine.. fuck I hate needles seriously...'
Yue started to panic on the inside.. 'What can I do..... ah wish I can do that...'
He wiggled his fingertips and removed the glove in one hand.
When he could feel the human's breath close to his nape he swiftly turned to hold out his hand.
A huge tree appeared out of nowhere right next to his face.
"ahh! Why is there a tree! Fuck! Where did it come from!"
"He did it! Catch him!"
Yue released another tree.
In total, there were only four tress in there. He released them one after another from his space surrounding him in all directions. The trees were girth and when planted so close to each other they formed a barrier of some sort.
It gave him minimal protection….
Now all he had to do was get out his binding and get out of here.
******
Fan Xui ran and ran.... he could not find even a single clue.. by now he was sure his lover was kidnapped.
He knocked on another door begging them to give him information.
No one saw anything...
He blindly rushed to the road.. in just a few minutes the residential area was behind him and both sides of the road were covered by empty fields.
In the middle, he noticed a depilated house.
'I should not waste time asking around. I'll go see if Hary and the soldiers can help.' He ran the other way.
But all of a sudden, a small sound stopped him.
His black eyes focused on the house. The roof of the house was now slightly broken and a huge branch was poking out. Beautiful pink peaches were hanging on it waving in the air.
'That tree! Yue is there!'
************
Yue glanced at the peach tree close to him. Its branches were quite low.
'I can do this.' He moved close to it and looped the rope around the low-hanging branch.
With a small snap, he pulled down. The branch broke. With the branch in between, he started to move it up and down, creating friction.
Plus he was regaining his strength. He was tugging his wrist apart while doing so.
"How do we get to him? If he regains his strength, he will crush us!"
"Cut the fucking trees down! Cut it down!"
"Shit you idiots! We have guns, shoot him down!!
A gunshot rang.
Yue crawled to the nearby tree's thick roots and hid near it. he continued working on his hands.
After two minutes of struggle, it broke loose.
Panting, he reached for the binds tying up his legs.
"Hey, I see a gap here. I can squeeze through!" the short man squeezed through the gap between the trees and grabbed his foot. "I got him. give me the drug!"'
"Here..."
Yue kicked his face.
"Agh fuck, stop moving!"
Yue felt a small stab to his leg. He knew the syringe was in.
He swiftly tried to kick it off but the man injected it..
He felt the numbing sensation ride up to his hips.
"Fuck! I got him. I got him! shit that was scary. He almost broke my nose!"
"Where did those trees come from..."'
Yue heard the men discuss this.... he could not even move now...
'Shit, this is so bad... I don't wish to be kidnapped. Buy now.. Someone must have noticed right... I hope so.. or else I would have to try escaping again. I will not give up. I will keep trying...'
"Yue!" a loud shout came from behind the trees.
Yue tiredly opened his eyes.
Through his blurry gaze, he saw the sparkling blue flashes run across the room. his ears were graced with the gruesome screams of pain.
He knew at that moment his lover was here....
'I'm saved... I can take a rest..'
He closed his eyes with a small smile on his lips.
