After Li Yu and Xiaolan had eaten, Li Yu sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and used his internal strength to regulate his body to relieve some pain. Because the martial arts at Yinlong Villa consume a lot of energy, to practice the martial arts at Yinlong Villa, you must start practicing internal skills from an early age. Zhao Shu also taught Li Yu and Li Longzhan how to use internal energy to put themselves into a state of breath control to relieve some pain.
When Xiaolan saw Li Yu closing his eyes and concentrating, he didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.
After a while, Li Yu felt a little better and asked, "Is there any water? I'm thirsty."
"Yes. When they first locked us in, they put a kettle in." There was almost no light in the room. Only the faint moonlight from the skylight shone in. Xiaolan stood up and carefully picked up the kettle, then handed it to Li Yu.
Li Yu got the kettle and said with a helpless look: "I just started eating, but now I drink water directly from my mouth?"
"if not."
Li Yu had no choice but to hold the kettle high, let the water flow out, and then drink the water with his mouth. The light in the room was not good, so even though I drank a few sips, some water spilled on me. Li Yu wiped his mouth with his arm and said, "What time is it now?"
"I don't know. We have been imprisoned ever since we arrived."
After adjusting his breath just now, Li Yu could barely stand up. He looked up at the skylight and saw that it was about a foot high, so he tried to use Qinggong to jump up. Then, my body was indeed a little weak now. After jumping twice, I felt like I couldn't do it anymore. I sighed: "Oh, I only eat so much, and I don't have the energy to jump up at all."
Seeing that Li Yu tried to jump on to no avail, Xiaolan said, "You should take a good rest first. I think you are seriously injured."
"It's okay. We have to find a way to get out of here."
"It's all because of me. I got you into unnecessary trouble. I'm really sorry."
"What are you talking about? I want to help myself. However, my body is still a little weak now and I haven't eaten enough. Normally, I would have jumped up to this height in two seconds. Sneeze!" Li Yu snored. He sneezed loudly, and the injury to his left chest also recurred, and he squatted on the ground holding his chest.
Seeing this, Xiaolan hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Yu felt pain in his chest and squatted on the ground silently.
Xiaolan saw that Li Yu was only wearing a black sleeveless shirt. The April day was not that warm yet. It must be late at night now, and it is even more chilly, and some of the water he drank just now was spilled on Li Yu, so Li Yu may have caught a cold. So, Xiaolan walked behind Li Yu and hugged Li Yu into her arms.
Li Yu was suddenly hugged and felt a little embarrassed: "Hey, what are you doing?"
"You are wearing so little, you must have caught a cold."
Li Yu was still trying to show off his strength and said: "I am a martial arts practitioner, how could I be afraid of Xiao Han Xiao Dong?"
Xiaolan scolded: "Okay. If you catch a cold, I will be the unlucky one."
Li Yu felt much warmer after being hugged like this, and said, "When I have a rest, I will jump out tomorrow and I will definitely take you out of here."
"If you can leave, just leave. If you take me out, where can I go?"
"Go find your mother! She must be looking for you too."
"Will she really look for me? For the sake of her brother, she can sell me. Does she still have me in her heart?"
"You can ask her yourself when you come out."
Hearing what Li Yu said, Xiaolan didn't reply and was thinking silently. Time passed little by little, and just like that, a ten-year-old girl sat on the ground with a seven-year-old boy in her arms. The two were sleepy and fell asleep.
There was a noisy door opening, and the two children were woken up by the sound. When they woke up, they found that it was already early morning. The man named Qian came to deliver food again. He put the food at the door. This time he also brought a new pot of water. He said impatiently: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat." Then he was ready to leave. Just as she was leaving, Xiaolan said in a flattering voice: "Brother Qian!"
When the man surnamed Qian heard this, his heart was filled with excitement, and he turned around and said, "Little sister, what's the matter?"
Xiaolan looked pitiful and said, "Brother Qian, the food we brought yesterday was too unpalatable. Please prepare something good."
"Here, there's nothing I can do about it. The cook gave me some leftovers. Once he mixed them up, he asked me to bring them."
"Brother Qian, I know that if you are so capable, you must have a solution."
Even though Xiaolan is only ten years old, she has red lips and white teeth, she looks cute, and she blinks her eyes in such a coquettish way. No man can bear it. But this is a person from Zuichunlou after all, and he doesn’t dare to take advantage of Xiaolan. He said: "But. Oops. When you go out, the third sister will train you well. I hope you eat well."
When Xiaolan heard this, she said: "Third Sister said that I will definitely be successful in the future and earn a lot of money. Just bring some delicious food to others. When they become successful in the future, I will never forget you, Brother Qian."
Seeing Xiaolan's appearance, Li Yu felt a little disgusted and said, "You might as well just let him take you home."
The man named Qian heard what Xiaolan said and thought to himself. Although this girl is still young now, she will definitely be a beauty when she grows up. If I help her this time, I will definitely have the opportunity to have a kiss in the future, and I can also get some benefits from her. He said: "Okay. I will find it for you." Order something delicious, but don’t let the boy behind you get angry when he sees him. If the third sister and the others hadn’t told them not to touch this boy, I would have gone over and beaten him!”
"Yeah."
Brother Qian whispered to Xiaolan: "It's definitely not possible to let you go. Just wait and I'll find you something delicious." He smiled, then locked the door and left.
Li Yu said angrily: "It's only been one night, and you've already rebelled."
"No. We definitely can't do it by ourselves. He will bring some good food for you to eat later. You take good care of yourself, and then we will find a way to get out."
Li Yu was a little surprised, sighing in his heart that this girl was so smart.
After a while, the man surnamed Qian opened the door secretly, then handed Xiaolan a small package and said, "This is good food, you can eat it." Then he glanced at Li Yu who was behind him fiercely and said, "Qian Don’t feed this kid.”
"Okay. Brother Qian, please be busy first. When I come out in the future, I will definitely not forget your kindness."
"Hehe, that's fine." After hearing this, the man named Qian left happily.
Xiaolan walked up to Li Yu, opened the package, and found a braised pig's trotter that was still warm. She handed it to Li Yu and said, "Eat it quickly."
Li Yu didn't eat enough yesterday, and he was even more hungry after another night. He took the pig's trotters and started to eat them. After eating a few mouthfuls, he looked at Xiaolan, broke the pig's trotters open and said, "You can eat too." "
Xiaolan waved her hands and said, "No. I can just eat the food on the ground."
"I can't finish it by myself, so you can eat it too."
Xiaolan took the half of the pig's trotters. Although it was not a delicious delicacy, it was better than anything she had ever eaten after suffering a disaster at home. So, he chewed the pig's trotter with big mouthfuls, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction on this half of the pig's trotter.
When Li Yu saw Xiaolan's appearance, he felt a little scared for some reason. He came over with a kettle and said, "Don't worry. Drink some water."
Xiaolan slurred her words while eating: "Well, I'll drink it later."
After the two of them ate, Li Yu stretched his muscles and bones. Although his body was still a little sore, after eating and drinking enough, his physical strength recovered a lot, and then he pushed on the wall to hold the skylight window. Just when Li Yu was proudly preparing to climb out, Xiaolan shouted to her in a low voice: "Wait, you come down first." Although Li Yu was puzzled, he still jumped down.
Xiaolan said: "You can't go out now. There must be people outside in broad daylight. If you go out now, there is no guarantee that you will be caught again. Wait until it gets dark before going out."
Li Yu heard what Xiaolan said made sense and nodded, and the two of them began to wait for dark.
Jian Xin rode a fast horse and galloped to the Jiangmen League, which was twenty miles south of Kaifeng City. Arriving at the gate of the Jiangsu Alliance, Jian Xin dismounted and walked quickly towards the gate. As he walked, he said to the guard guarding the gate: "I am Jian Xin from Yinlong Villa, and I want to see Vice Leader Hua."
Although the guard had never met Jian Xin, he could tell that Jian Xin was not a strong martial artist. Everyone in the world knows that there are many experts in Jianghu Alliance, so naturally they are not afraid of anyone coming to break in. Moreover, Yinlong Villa and the Jiangjiang Alliance have always been on good terms. Since this person dared to come in openly, he must have something urgent, so he said: "Deputy Alliance Leader, I didn't see you today. The person in charge of the alliance now is Elder Hu."
"But Hu Ling?"
"Exactly."
"Take me to him."
"Girl, please come with me."
The guard led Jian Xin to a room in the Jiangxi Alliance and said, "Elder Hu is inside."
"Okay, thanks for leading the way."
Jianxin pushed open the door and walked in. Sitting in the room was a middle-aged man, looking at some documents on the table. Seeing someone coming in, Jian Xin immediately raised his head and said, "Brother Hu, are you busy?"
Elder Hu saw Jian Xin and said, "Miss Jian Xin, why are you here?"
"It's something urgent, I'll keep it short. Is there anyone in the alliance who is good at finding people?"
"Yes. What happened?"
"The villa owner's youngest son, Li Yu, disappeared in the city yesterday. Can you arrange for some experts who are good at finding people to go to the Prince Consort's Mansion to find the villa owner Li and Mrs. Ouyang as soon as possible."
"Okay. I'll go make arrangements now."
"Where's the deputy leader?"
"The deputy leader told me last night that he was going to pay homage to Leader Hua and would not come to the alliance this morning."
"Washington should be behind the Jiangmen Alliance."
"Exactly. When the Jiangsu Alliance was first established, it was originally the Zhenjiang Alliance and was established by the leader of the Hua Tieshan Alliance. Therefore, Washington is behind the Jiangjiang Alliance."
"good!"
"Miss Jianxin, are you going to Washington? I'll arrange for someone to take you there."
"Brother Hu, thank you. I have been to Washington several times and know its location. On the staff side, I would like to ask you to come as soon as possible."
"You're welcome, Miss Jianxin, I'll make arrangements now."
Jian Xin nodded, passed through Jiangmeng, and walked out of the back gate of Jiangmeng. Directly opposite was the gate of Washington. The rule of the Washington Palace is not to interfere too much with those who swear Jiangmeng, so when they saw Jianxin coming from the Jiangmeng Alliance, the guards in front of the Washington Palace did not stop her.
Jian Xin asked the guard: "Brother, where is the cemetery in Washington?"
"The cemetery is in the southwest corner of Washington."
"Okay." Jianxin has been to Huafu Jianxin several times, but usually she enters directly into the front hall and guest room. She really doesn't know where the Washington Cemetery is.
