Chapter 460: No response
Chapter 460: No response
Seeing that the strange man did not respond to his words, Jiang Mubai almost doubted whether the other party could hear him.
"Can you hear me?"
The strange man did not respond, only the chirping of insects outside echoed Jiang Mubai's voice.
"Is it true that I can't hear anything? That shouldn't be the case! Those people wouldn't let someone with hearing impairments monitor me, right? How can they guarantee my safety and my needs in this way?"
Jiang Mubai was very confused. After she finished saying these words, the man squatting next to the fire gave her a light look.
The glance at Jiang Mubai was very light, but she was stunned by the other party's eyes. Jiang Mubai knew the meaning of this glance, so he had to shut his mouth in disappointment and stopped talking about him.
The two of them fell silent in the room for a while. Jiang Mubai suspected that the other party didn't want her to know about Wu You, so she decided not to mention it and planned to find a new topic to understand her current situation.
The man was not interested in what Jiang Mubai was doing. All he had eyes for was the pot in front of him waiting to boil. Jiang Mubai was far away and couldn't see clearly what he was pouring into the pot.
But seeing how focused that man looked, he couldn't be brewing poison for himself.
Jiang Mubai was amused by what she imagined in her mind. She couldn't help but burst out laughing. The man was concentrating on making food, but after hearing Jiang Mubai's laughter, he looked at her in confusion.
There were so many meanings contained in this look. He felt that Jiang Mubai was so generous that he could still laugh even in such a situation.
Jiang Mubai also felt that she was tortured by the situation she was in and had no other choice but to try to have fun. She was in the same room with a strange man, and there was such a huge disparity in power between men and women. If the man really wanted to kill her, there were many ways to do it. Cooking poison herself was the most time-wasting way.
So Jiang Mubai couldn't help laughing just now because she thought about these things, because after this incident, Jiang Mubai no longer worried that a strange man would take the opportunity to poison her when cooking for her.
After the food in the pot was cooked, the strange man served Jiang Mubai a bowl and placed it on the bedside.
Maybe she was afraid that Jiang Mubai might be worried that she might have poisoned him, so the strange man ignored her and scooped a bowl for himself and started drinking.
Jiang Mubai's strength had recovered a little bit, and she could now sit up on the head of the bed.
Having not eaten for two meals, her stomach was already starving. Considering that there was a little one in her belly, Jiang Mubai could not care less. She blew on the food while wolfing it down. She was not afraid of getting burned, and she looked like a starving ghost.
After Jiang Mubai finished one bowl, the strange man served him another bowl. With something filling his stomach, the feeling of hunger was not as strong as before.
Jiang Mubai waited until the second bowl had cooled down before eating it. When she was eating the second bowl, she felt a rare sense of reserve as a girl.
After she finished the second bowl, the strange man saw that she had eaten the bowl so clean and thought she was not full, so he wanted to give her a third bowl.
Jiang Mubai saw this and quickly tried to stop him: "Don't serve me any more! I'm already full and can't eat any more. If you serve me any more, it will be wasted. It's not good. Eat it yourself."
After hearing this, the strange man pretended to put down the bowl. Jiang Mubai realized that he was not deaf when he saw him like this. So when she asked the question just now, he was not deaf but simply did not want to pay attention to her.
Jiang Mubai didn't give up. She wanted this man to talk to her, so after eating, she had the energy to start working again.
"Have we met before? I feel like I've been here before, but I don't know why. I've been thinking about it for a long time but I can't remember it. Can you tell me?"
When Jiang Mubai said these words, her eyes were looking around trying to find something that would trigger her memory, so she didn't notice that the figure of the strange man standing there tensed up for a moment when he heard her questions.
The time was very short, and before Jiang Mubai noticed, the strange man instantly returned to his previous appearance.
Jiang Mubai thought that after he asked these questions, the other party would give him answers, but the strange man continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb as before.
He was not even as patient with her as when he first came. After all, she had just asked him a lot of questions about Wu You, but this man didn't react at all at that time. Except for a look that required understanding when Jiang Mubai suspected that he was a disabled person, he didn't have any extra reaction at all.
This time it was a matter concerning the two of them, and not only did this person not answer for him, he became impatient.
Specifically, after hearing Jiang Mubai's question, the man poured the food in the bowl into the trash can beside him without finishing it, then packed up the things and quickly left the cabin.
Jiang Mubai of course tried to stop them after seeing this: "Hey! Don't go! It's such a waste to throw away food before you finish it, and you haven't even answered my question yet! That's so rude!"
Jiang Mubai was answered by the sound of a door closing with a bang.
The man left with those things without looking back, and then the sound of the wooden door being locked was heard by Jiang Mubai who was sitting on the bed.
Jiang Mubai couldn't help but complain in his heart. He felt really relieved to lock her up here alone. Wasn't he afraid that she would burn the place down and run away?
Of course, Jiang Mubai would never do such a thing. The risk factor is too high. If she doesn't run away, she will most likely be trapped in the sea of fire and burned to death. That would be too uncomfortable. And even if she doesn't die, it would be very dangerous if she caught fire. There are woods everywhere in this forest. If she is really ignited by fire, it would be even more terrible. Even if she runs out of the cabin, she can't escape from the forest.
What's more, there is no fire-fighting equipment in this place. It would take a long time for firefighters to come up. By the time they arrive, the place will have been burned to black.
There was a noise coming from not far away, and Jiang Mubai suspected that it came from the strange man who was guarding her.
She listened carefully for a moment and heard the sound of running water. She guessed that the strange man was washing the dishes he had just taken out. She had reason to suspect that the man had a place to stay near her wooden house, otherwise they would not have let her spend the night alone in the mountains.
There are many mosquitoes in the mountains at night. Before leaving, the strange man considerately closed the window for Jiang Mubai, so none of the insects came in. There was also the smell of mosquito repellent medicine in the house.
Jiang Mubai found the smell very comfortable and not pungent at all. She was originally worried that smelling those mosquito repellents too much would be bad for the baby in her belly, but she had checked and found that the scents of those mosquito repellents were all natural and did not contain any harmful irritants, so Jiang Mubai felt a lot more relieved.
