Chapter 385 is naïve and ridiculous
Chapter 385: Two days later, the Li family's manor, an abandoned two-story building near the plantation.
Outside, it was a dreary night, and the sound of rain hitting the window was endless. The debris on the ground had been cleared to the side, and the old-fashioned light bulb hung in the air, emitting a dim glow, and every corner it touched seemed to be covered with a thick layer of dust.
Li Qing is tied to a huge cross in the middle of the room, which is typical of Western aesthetics, and looks more like the crucifixion of Jesus in Christianity. His whole body was bound with steel cables, and a huge copper lock was attached to his chest. Four wires were passed through the palms, the collarbones, and finally the cross behind him. The dried blood stains were wrapped in dust on the ground, and due to excessive blood loss, Li Qing's cheeks were not only pale, but also tinged with a strange blue.
In order to prevent Li Qing from escaping, everything has been done.
With a creaking sound, the wooden door slowly opened, and a slender young man walked in, standing aside the dripping umbrella in his hand. He clasped his hands on his chest, walked slowly to the opposite side of Li Qing, looked Li Qing up and down with a bit of appreciation in his eyes, and sighed twice: "Cousin, do you feel good?"
Seeing that Li Qing didn't react in the slightest, the man picked up the water scoop from the iron bucket on the side, scooped up half a scoop of water, raised his hand and splashed it on Li Qing's face, and said with a smile: "Does this make you sober up a little?"
With a move of his head, Li Qing lightly**** his lips and chuckled: "Li Xian, are you here to see the excitement?"
"Cousin, look up. Li Xian said softly, "Let me see what you look like now, I've never seen it before, don't you think it's weird?"
"You weren't cute more than ten years ago, but you weren't obnoxious. I didn't expect that after so long, it has become a barking puppy. I didn't get anything from cooperating with the Blood Skeleton, do you feel very disappointed? The strength is not equal, there is no way to get the benefits you deserve, shouldn't I teach you this truth?" Li Qing's voice carried a burst of ridicule.
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, Li Xian pulled over a folding chair and sat opposite Li Qing: "Being able to solve you is my biggest benefit, as for the rest, I am still young and have decades to be busy." ”
"But they didn't want me to die easily. Li Qing said with a smile, "I'm curious, how did you get in, aren't there a few bean sprouts guarding outside." ”
"Money, women, jewelry. Li Xian shrugged his shoulders slightly, "The so-called first-class killer of blood skeletons is nothing more than that, people's hearts can always be bought, which really disappoints me." ”
"They're unscrupulous, real first-rate killers who will give you a toothache. ”
"Like you? Li Xian nodded slightly, "It's not just a toothache, a headache, a heartache, and a pain all over the body." I was trembling all night, I couldn't sleep, and there were probably not many people in the world who missed you as much as I did. ”
After a slight pause, Li Xian continued: "Cousin, I have always been unable to understand, I have been smarter than you since I was a child, more obedient than you, sensible, why everyone likes you? I originally thought that just because you were the eldest young master of the Li family, they just wanted to befriend the future head of the family. But when I sat in this position, I found that those subordinates were still secretly reading your name behind your back. And in their eyes, I am more like a clown jumping off the beam. ”
"Those people are afraid of me because of who I am. I know in my heart that if I fall into the same fate as you did back then, just those fleas will jump up and trample me to death without hesitation, and the end will only be worse than yours. I have endured so many years and paid so much to finally climb to where I am now, but I still haven't been able to completely take your place. ”
Li Qing still didn't look up, but the smile on his face was slowly expanding: "The forbearance and dedication you refer to, are you giving up Rou'er?"
Li Xian's body stiffened suddenly.
"I knew back then that you liked Rou'er, but I didn't dare to show it, but I didn't expect that after so many years, you still buried it in your heart, which is really a wreck. Li Qing's face was full of sarcasm, "Li Xian, you are too much like the head of the Li family." But you must know that those who are in high positions, ruthless, and ingenious, must be the enemy of the whole world. I don't think of myself as a superior, so many friends, you will always be out of reach. ”
Li Xian slowly stood up: "I'm really jealous of you. ”
"Blame you for being too greedy. Li Qing replied with a smile.
His face sank slightly, Li Xian took out a short knife from one side and shook it in front of Li Qing: "I've always been thinking about what to do with you after I catch you, if you cut off your flesh piece by piece and give it to the hunting dogs to fight for food, the dogs' barking and wailing resounded in all directions, the scene must be spectacular." ”
"If you don't dare to kill me, don't play such a child's trick. ”
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Li Xian retreated and threw the short knife in his hand to the ground.
"Who's in there?" a dull and hoarse voice suddenly sounded outside the small building, "Get out!"
When the words fell, Yang Xun had already pushed the door in an almost rude way. He wore a raincoat, and the rain outside was already getting heavier, and the rain was slowly flowing down the corners of the raincoat.
"Who let you in?" glared at Li Xian, Yang Xun scolded.
Li Xian's eyes condensed slightly, and he turned to look at Yang Xun: "Don't you feel rude to talk to me like this on the territory of the Li family?"
"What are you? Yang Xun didn't take Li Xian seriously at all, ripped off his raincoat and threw it aside, and pointed out the door, "Get out!"
It's that everyone has three points of anger, and even more so, Li Xian, who is in a high position, walked towards Yang Xun step by step, his face faintly blue: "If you dare to repeat what you just said, I will let you..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Xun had already jumped up, grabbed Li Xian's throat and pressed him directly to the dusty ground. Staring at Li Xian's eyes tightly, Yang Xun said word by word: "Get out, get out, go!"
"You can go back and pick up your broken sniper rifle, but it's best not to shoot me in the back, or I'll skin you alive." ”
After Yang Xun said this, he grinded his teeth before he suddenly raised his hand and threw Li Xian aside.
With a light cough, Li Xian got up from the ground, rubbed the bruise on his throat, stared at Yang Xun, and then walked to the corner without saying a word, took the umbrella, and turned around to go out.
Raising his head and looking at Li Qing, Yang Xun turned around and scooped half a scoop of water, took out a salt bag from his pocket and sprinkled some into it, then shook it, pulled over the stool and stood on it to feed Li Qing.
With too much blood loss, coupled with the fact that he didn't eat a drop of water for two whole days, Li Qing was really thirsty, and he drank most of the scoop of water before shaking his head gently.
Yang Xun sighed, got off the stool, and threw the water scoop into the bucket.
"It's ridiculous. Li Qing suddenly laughed softly, "You traitor, you have shown your loyalty here, I will wipe your tears for you." And how many of us have become defectors, and feng shui takes turns. ”
His cheeks were a little red, Yang Xun's face stiffened for a moment, and he didn't make a sound.
"I remember the day you fled, I was standing in the woods, and you saw you kill a dozen crocodiles, and cross the little river covered in blood, lying in the mud on the bank, panting for breath. Li Qing's voice was very soft, with a hint of melancholy, "I really envied you a little at that time, do you know why?"
Yang Xun's eyes were red, he thought that only he knew these things, but he didn't expect Li Qing to be watching him from a distance all the time. It was only now that Yang Xun finally understood why he was able to escape the pursuit of the Blood Skeleton back then, not because he Yang Xun should not die, but because Li Qing let him go.
"You're free. Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so good to be free, fortunately, I also realized it later, and now they want me to go back and dream." ”
"Captain..."
"What did they ask you to do?" Li Qing directly interrupted Yang Xun's words and suddenly asked, "Are you a lobbyist?" ”
"Captain, the Commander asked me to convey their meaning to you, as long as you hand over what the ancient boat left you, you can leave, and they will give you the life you want. Yang Xun's Adam's apple rolled a little, "I know that the old antique treated you well, but you..."
"Hehe, when will he treat me well?" Li Qing sneered, "I can live until now because I have a hard life, I am better than others, and it is not that the old antique has left his hand." Otherwise, my life will be sent to Hades by him along with those hundreds of people. In the hearts of the old antiques, there are only the strong and the weak, and the rest do not differ. ”
Yang Xun was slightly stunned: "Captain, then what are you still doing to keep a secret for him? Hand over the things, you take a break and go to have a good time, isn't this what you have always wanted?"
"Isn't your naivety pretended?" Li Qing sneered, "If I hand over the things, in addition to continuing to work for them, the only way is to die." Do you really think that with the iron law of blood skeletons, they will let me out at ease?"
"This..."Yang Xun froze there, speechless.
"I'm curious about you. Li Qing said lightly, "With your character, how can you work for the Blood Skeleton again?"
This question seemed to touch a certain nerve in Yang Xun, making him tremble with his hands.
Li Qing waited for a while without getting a reply, then slowly raised his head and stared at Yang Xun without blinking. The two steel wires that passed through the collarbone hurt as soon as Li Qing raised his head, so this was also the first time that Li Qing raised his head to look at people after being nailed to it.
After staring at Yang Xun for a while, Li Qing's face slowly changed. The enthusiasm in his eyes gradually became cold, cold, and even a hint of disgust.
