When Fan Mingfang and Madam Gong arrived at the Zhou family’s house, they saw that the residence was gloomy. The two of them looked at the twins who were crying and looking for their mother and could only force a smile to comfort the two children.
Laidi rushed to the Zhou family’s house and found out from Auntie He that Li Yu was really missing. She felt so guilty that she wanted to die.
In her heart, Li Yu was omnipotent. She never expected Li Yu to be kidnapped.
Laidi’s face was covered in tears. “Auntie He, my cousin disappeared because of me. I can’t absolve myself of the blame even if I die a thousand times.”
Xing Hua rolled her eyes at Laidi and muttered to herself, “If something really happens to my Madam, what’s the use of dying ten thousand times? You can’t even compare to a strand of my Madam’s hair.”
Auntie He also complained to her, “Miss Cousin, go back and guard the house first. Wait for my Madam to come back in peace. Don’t do anything stupid. Otherwise, when Madam comes back, you’ll be in trouble.”
Laidi nodded and turned to walk out. Auntie He thought of Li Mei and couldn’t help but sigh. She stopped Laidi and said, “Miss, I’m heartbroken about you. Think about it. Is it worth it for such a heartless person?
If he doesn’t take you seriously now, how can he take you seriously when he achieves his goals? We, women, have to find someone who dotes on us. Look at your sister and then look at yourself. Think about it.”
Laidi looked at Auntie He and felt ashamed. “Yes, Auntie He. In the past, I was blind. Now, I know my mistake. I’ll go back and wait for Cousin. But she might not go to my place again!”
“Go!” Auntie He waved her hand and let her go.
The carriage ran along the hill path, passed a forest, and climbed for more than an hour in twists and turns. It began to descend. After another hour, an expanse of farmland appeared ahead.
Old Lin drove the cart to the entrance of the village. He glanced at the big banyan tree at the entrance and drove into the village. He stopped in front of a farmstead of green bricks and gray tiles. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
At this moment, it was already dark. The village was cold and cheerless as if there was no one around.
Old Lin got out of the car and pulled out his dagger. The three of them looked at the carriage door solemnly.
Old Lin carefully walked to the car door. “Madam Li, we’re here. As long as you don’t make a move, we won’t touch you.”
Li Yu nodded. Old Lin went forward and lifted the curtain.
Li Yu saw two fierce men. One of them was pointing a crossbow at her. Both of them had a pair of sparkling eyes. The tall one had high cheekbones, and the shorter one had fleshless cheeks and a solemn expression.
Old Lin looked at Li Yu proudly and reached out to make an inviting gesture. “Madam Li, don’t be angry. Crossbow swords are blind!”
The tall robber pointed his crossbow at Li Yu and shouted impatiently at Old
Lin, “Brother Lin, why are you talking to her? Hurry up and bring her in.”
Li Yu got out of the carriage obediently and walked towards the door. As Old Lin walked with the machete, he paid attention to Li Yu’s every move. The two robbers stared at Li Yu with crossbows in their hands and did not relax for a moment.
From the looks of it, as long as Li Yu made a move, she would be shot.
After entering, she saw a spacious courtyard dam. There were also more than ten ordinary-looking men in the courtyard dam. Some were tidying up with hoes and farming tools, while others were wiping with weapons.
When the black-faced man saw the two men holding crossbows, he laughed loudly. “Old Chai, Ah Gen, why are you so nervous? There are so many of us. Are we afraid of a delicate woman like her?!”
Old Chai smiled. “Sir said that this woman is good at martial arts and is born with divine strength. We guarded her for more than a year and finally got her here. We don’t dare to be careless.”
“Hehe…” A man looked at Li Yu wretchedly. “Good martial arts. I think it’s in bed!”
“Hahaha…” Seeing Li Yu lower her head in silence, Old Lin laughed arrogantly. “Brothers, you’re alright! Are you preparing for spring plowing? How’s the harvest in the past few years?”
A man smiled and said, “The harvest last year was not bad. I even got some sweet potatoes from the Imperial Plantation to plant. That’s a good thing.”
Li Yu thought to herself that the sweet potato seeds had also reached their hands. It seemed that they also had people in the Imperial Plantation.
A man winked at Brother Lin and said, “Brother Lin, you’re not leaving this time, are you?”
“Brother Lin is quite lucky!”
The group of people spoke loudly and brazenly, treating Li Yu as theirs.
Brother Lin glanced at Li Yu proudly. “I brought back a big fish. It’s already showing its face. I can’t go anymore. Open the cellar and lock her in the cellar first.”
“Alright!” A man ran towards the room.
Li Yu thought to herself that in the past, she was the one who locked people in the cellar. Now, it was her turn.
When they arrived at the entrance of the cellar, Brother Lin looked at Li Yu. “Madam Li, you should behave and walk down yourself! Otherwise, it won’t be good if the sword hurts you!”
Li Yu walked into the cellar silently. Old Lin took a knife and two other robbers with crossbows aimed at Li Yu and escorted her down the cellar.
The tall one said to Old Lin impatiently, “Brother Lin, quickly tie her up and feed her the Soft Tendon Powder so that we can heave a sigh of relief.”
After consuming the Soft Tendon Powder, no matter how much strength she had, she could not use it. Li Yu did not think that she could be faster than the crossbow. The moment Old Lin bent down to get the rope, she looked at the positions of the two robbers holding crossbows and hid in the space.
The two robbers with crossbows watched helplessly as Li Yu disappeared in front of them. They were so frightened that they widened their eyes and looked at the place where Li Yu had disappeared. They were stunned and their lips subconsciously moved. “Ghost, ghost…”
In the blink of an eye, Li Yu came out of the space again. She looked at the two people who were stunned and shot the sleeve arrow into their throats. The two of them fell to the ground.
When Old Lin heard the commotion, he straightened up with the rope. In the blink of an eye, Li Yu was in front of him. She slapped his neck and Old Lin fell. Li Yu tied him up with the rope and picked up the rag on the ground to gag him.
Looking around the cellar, she saw that it was filled with sacks. She pinched them and estimated that they were filled with food. There were at least 100,000 catties. Li Yu found a sack and stuffed Old Lin in. She tied the sack and placed him on the top layer of the sack.
She lifted the hem of her dress to her waist and tied it in a knot so that it wouldn’t trip her movements. She picked up the crossbow from the ground and walked up.
When she reached the entrance of the cellar, she saw two lanterns hanging at the exit. Footsteps came. Li Yu stood in the dark and raised her crossbow to aim at the entrance of the cellar.
Footsteps sounded and a man’s arrogant voice sounded. “Brother Lin, the food and wine are ready. We’re just waiting for you. We shall interrogate that woman after we’ve eaten and drunk our fill. We promise not to attack.. Let
Brother Lin…
