Li Tianyi was arrested.
It has been three days since his arrest.
Looking at Ling'er who was sitting on the bedside without eating or drinking, Chen Anning frowned and said, "He still refuses to explain?"
Xie Xun said quietly: "He has made a living by cheating and kidnapping in his two lives, and he knows how to deal with the government better than anyone else. Getting him to speak is even more difficult than getting Lu Deqiu and the others to confess."
Xu Tianyi is also a time traveler.
On the day of his arrest, he voluntarily confessed.
His admission was not to gain leniency for his confession, but to tell them not to waste their efforts on him.
"Let me go and talk to him." Chen Anning volunteered.
After Xie Xun glanced at Ling'er, he nodded and said, "That's fine."
Xu Tianyi was put in a cell alone.
When Chen Anning left, he was sitting in the straw with his eyes closed and his back against the wall.
Even if you try to reason with him or talk about the pros and cons, he won't listen. Chen Anning was too lazy to talk nonsense and said straight to the point: "I don't know if you have heard of the miracle doctors Liu Xiushu and Yin Xiruo. I am their only disciple left in the world. I checked Miss Ling'er's pulse and also used The silver needle has pierced the meridians."
"Her deafness and muteness were not born, but were caused by illness during her infancy."
"Her eyes too."
Seeing him open his eyes, Chen Anning said bluntly again: "I can cure her and let her live in this world like a normal person."
"The premise is that she must take good care of herself first."
"Although she has your care, she lives in such a place and is surrounded by a group of children. Her foundation is weak. After years of hard work, her foundation is so bad that it affects her lifespan."
"Since she woke up, she hasn't had a sip of water or a sip of food. If she continues like this, she won't be able to survive for two days without treatment for her deafness and eyesight."
"Of course, this may be a good thing for her."
"Because she has a death wish."
Xu Tianyi's eyes, which had been dim since he was imprisoned here, suddenly shone a little brightly, "You said you can cure her?"
Chen Anning nodded: "Yes."
Xu Tianyi asked: "What proof do you have?"
"It's very simple." Chen Anning motioned to him, "Come here."
Xu Tian stood up and walked to the cell door.
Chen Anning asked him to stretch out his hand and take his pulse, then took out the specially brought silver needle, asked him to turn around, and pricked a few needles into his back, "Feel it."
Xu Tian shook his body and immediately realized that the pain that had been bothering him was gone, and the dullness he had felt in the past was much lessened.
"You said you are a disciple of the genius doctors Liu Xiuzhu and Yin Xiruo?" Xu Tian asked, half leaning against the cell door.
"Actually, I'm not." Chen Anning looked at him with a smile, "I am the original owner of this body."
Xu Tianyi was stunned for a moment, then stood up straight and said, "You also traveled through time?"
"Yes." Chen Anning said calmly, "So, if I can cure Miss Ling'er, I can assure you without hesitation: Chinese people do not lie to Chinese people."
Xu Tianyi was obviously very interested in the fact that she was also a time traveler, "What is your identity after time travel?"
Chen Anning said it.
Xu Tianyi asked again: "Where were you before you traveled through time?"
Chen Anning said again.
Xu Tian clicked his tongue twice, "No wonder I was caught by you even though I arranged everything perfectly. It turns out that you were the one who caught me."
Chen Anning smiled again, "It's not me, it's Mr. Xie."
Xu Tianyi sneered disdainfully: "Is it possible that he also traveled through time?"
Chen Anning nodded.
Xu Tianyi obviously didn't believe it.
"Before he traveled through time, he was a criminal police officer handling serious cases." Chen Anning said, "So, it's okay for you to use these deceptions to deceive the people here, but it's obviously not good enough to deceive him."
Xu Tianyi still didn't believe it: "He really traveled through time too?"
Chen Anning was funny: "What's the benefit of lying to you?"
"That's true." Xu Tianyi clicked his tongue, "It's a pity. If I had met you earlier, for the sake of everyone being time travellers, I beg you to take me in, and I wouldn't be like this."
Chen Anning raised her eyebrows, "I thought you would be very proud of playing them around."
Xu Tian crossed his arms and said, "I'm a little proud, but..."
Chen Anning answered: "But compared to those prides, Miss Ling'er is more important."
Xu Tianyi did not deny it, and talked about his acquaintance with Ling'er: "When I first time traveled, I was only eleven or twelve years old. Before the time traveled, my parents died early, and I could only make a living by cheating and abducting. After traveling through time, I had no father or mother, so I could only beg for food on the streets.”
"With my ability, not only was I able to make ends meet at the beginning, but I was also able to keep some surplus food. But there were too many beggars begging for food. Seeing me asking for money or food so easily, those beggars joined forces. Guys came to rob me. Later, they would follow me wherever I went, and they would often rob me of the money and food I collected before they even landed in my broken bowl."
"As time goes by, those who give me alms will become unhappy."
"The beggars who followed me beat and kicked me from time to time because the money or food I asked for was not enough for them to share equally."
"Once, when I was beaten to the point of dying, Sister Ling'er rushed out to save me and took me back to his ruined temple."
Xu Tian laughed twice, "Obviously he was too poor to have a meal for several days, but he still brought her back to me regardless. I often wonder, if she hadn't saved me, would she have survived until now?"
"I originally thought that I would work for another year or two, then wash my hands of the job, and then take her on a sightseeing tour. Now it seems that there is no chance."
"Fortunately..." Xu Tianyi looked at her, "You can cure it. As long as you can cure it, I promise to tell you everything I know."
Chen Anning responded, "She has a weak health and needs to be treated for three to five months before her eyes and deafness can be cured. But don't worry, I will keep her with me until she is cured. If she is cured, , if she is willing to go to the capital, I will send her there."
"Over in the capital, Mr. Xie built a children's welfare home."
Xu Tian nodded, "Go and ask Mr. Xie to come over."
"When you finish talking, I will bring her to see you." Chen Anning said, "She won't eat or drink, so maybe you are the only one who can persuade her."
Xu Tianyi responded well.
When Xie Xun entered the cell to talk to Xu Tianyi, Chen Anning entered Ling'er's yard again, "Xu Tianyi wants to see you, do you want to have something to eat first?"
Ling'er didn't respond.
Chen Anning called the eldest child over and motioned for him to translate. Ling'er finally slowly turned her head.
"Tell her that Xu Tianyi also started a hunger strike because of her refusal to eat or drink." Chen Anning said.
Ling'er sat up straight and whined a few times at the translator.
The translator said, "Sister Ling'er said she eats it."
Chen Anning patted his head gently and said, "Go ahead and bring over the warm side dishes and porridge."
