Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Secret Meeting in the Tree
"What's the matter?"
"You don't know, there's a bastard boy named Ma Lie, and I suspect my sister's disappearance has something to do with him. But I don't know what's going on, but what kind of nonsense he said to the old man, he can actually swagger out."
"What the hell do you want to do?" Bai Li interrupted.
Hang Guo said viciously: "Hmph, of course I want to kill him with one shot." ”
Bai Li exclaimed: "Ah, didn't the old man say that he would let him go, why do you still want to kill him, aren't you afraid that the old man will pursue him?" ”
"Go, what are you afraid of! Ma Lie is just an outsider, and I am his own grandson, so I don't believe that the old man is guilty of me for a foreign boy! Besides, the old man is lying on the hospital bed dying at the moment, and he can't take care of his old life, where can he care about this little thing? ”
"But, what did that Ma Lie offend you about, do you have to kill him?"
"I don't like him, what's wrong?"
"Uh, nothing!"
"You don't understand, if you don't give him a little color to see, he won't know the ability of my Hang family's three young people, he will die this time!"
Hearing these words, a trace of coldness emerged from Ma Lie's back hiding in the big tree, and he scolded secretly: Your mother's Hang juice, is it necessary to be so vicious, I have no grievances with you, and you want me to die?
Is it just because it doesn't like the eye?
At this time, he suddenly realized that if Bai Li appeared in time and took himself to the big tree to hide, he might die at the gunpoint of Hang Guozhen in a daze.
At the same time, he also realized the hardships of Old Man Hang. The Hang family is indeed constantly fighting, and the situation is extremely chaotic. Although Hang Guozhen is his grandson, he doesn't have the appearance of a grandson respecting his elders behind his back, and the tone of his voice makes him want the old man to die quickly.
"By the way, Ah Li, did you see him just now?"
"I saw several people passing by, and I don't know who Ma Lie you are talking about!"
"Ma Lie, it's the silly boy who was holding hands with my sister today, you should have seen it!"
"I didn't notice!"
"Well, forget it, you go back to the castle quickly, I'll look for it over there!"
"Got it!"
There was a cacophony of footsteps in the opposite direction to the north, the direction where Ma Lie had just been.
Bai Li returned to the foot of the big banyan tree, glanced up at Ma Lie, and asked, "Did you hear everything?" ”
She didn't know Ma Lie's hearing, and during the conversation with Hang Guozhen just now, Bai Li obviously raised her voice, undoubtedly wanting Ma Lie to hear their conversation with her own ears.
Ma Lie was secretly moved and said, "Thank you, Miss Bai." ”
"Thank me for what, you once saved me" Bai Li muttered, slowly lowering his head, as if thinking about something.
Ma Lie asked tentatively, "Miss Bai, can I come down?" ”
Bai Li shook his head and said, "No, the area of this island in the middle of the lake is not large, and they may still come here." If you want to die, come down. ”
Ma Lie said depressedly: "Then I can't always hide in the tree, right?" ”
Bai Li said: "Wait a minute! As she spoke, she took a bracelet from her left wrist and threw it into the tree. The bracelet spun twice around a branch the size of a bowl where Ma Lie was standing, and then slowly slid down.
Ma Lie took a closer look curiously and found that in the middle of the bracelet, there was actually a silk thread a little larger than a hair. The bracelet slowly slipped into Bai Li's hand.
Bai Li tentatively pulled a few times, knowing that the silk thread was tied tightly to the branch, and then grabbed the bracelet with both hands, stepped on the trunk with both feet, and the whole person relied on the support of the silk thread to climb up the tree step by step. The thin line automatically shortened as she climbed up.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Ma Lie was secretly amazed, amazed at the strength and courage of her wrist. At the same time, I sweated for her safety.
I don't know what material that the tiny silk thread is made of, but it can bear the weight of a person. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see it.
Bai Li is petite and flexible, her climbing ability is extremely outstanding, and she quickly climbed in front of Ma Lie.
Ma Lie bent down and reached out to pull her.
Bai Li gladly accepted his kindness, grabbed his palm with one hand, and went up together. Bai Li's body was not heavy, and the whole person jumped up, standing in front of Ma Lie safely.
"Alas, it scared me to death!" Bai Li didn't complain anymore, but Ma Lie helped her and said, "Hey, if you don't play this difficult action in the future, you will die." ”
Bai Li stuck out her tongue and said, "You still care about your Miss Hang." ”
Ma Lie knew that time was running out, so he asked directly, "Eh, by the way, what do you have to talk to me about in the tree?" ”
Bai Li said: "Sit down first and talk on the tree, so that no one else will disturb and eavesdrop, understand?" ”
After saying that, regardless of whether the branches were clean or not, she sat down on her buttocks, and her feet hung down under the forks of the tree, swaying from side to side.
"That's right, there are surveillance probes everywhere in the Hangjia Castle, and they caught them if they were a little careless!"
But what he wore was 'Armani' worth tens of thousands of dollars, which was given by Hang Xuezhen, and Ma Lie didn't want to spoil this outfit. In order to maintain a little harmony with her, I had to half-crouch beside her.
Bai Li turned his head to see his wary of stiff movements, and mocked: "Why, are you reluctant to give up this expensive outfit?" Yo, I can't see it, it's worth 300,000 dollars 'Armani. ”
When Ma Lie heard this, he was surprised: "My suit is worth 300,000 US dollars?" ”
Bai Li said: "Your suit is specially customized, unique in the world, there is only one set." I'm just a conservative estimate, definitely not less than 300,000 US dollars, Hang Xue really sent you, right? ”
Ma Lie smiled bitterly: "She gave me three sets, only one set is suitable"
Bai Li sighed faintly: "It seems that she is not bad to you!" ”
Speaking of Hang Xuezhen, Ma Lie thought of her safety again and asked, "Miss Bai, you and I are not here to chat on this branch, right?" ”
Bai Liliu's eyebrows raised and glanced at him: "Nonsense!" ”
Ma Lie smiled and said: "Miss Bai, if it weren't for your appearance, I might have died under the gun of that Hang Juice, I am very grateful to you, but Hang Xuezhen's whereabouts are unknown, I don't have much time, do you understand?" ”
Bai Li said: "Of course I understand, I also know the agreement between you and Old Man Hang. ”
"Ah, you know that, too?" Ma Lie was speechless for a moment.
This female disciple of the gambling king is not only versatile and secretive, but also has no secrets in front of him.
His agreement with Old Man Hang, it can be said that only two people know about it, and there is absolutely no third person by his side, she has not shown up, and she has actually heard it.
Bai Li said proudly: "Go, I know a lot of things!" ”
Ma Lie hurriedly said: "Then you must know Hang Xue's real whereabouts?" ”
Bai Li nodded: "Of course, it's just that I don't want to know." ”
Ma Lie saw hope for a while, grabbed her wrist excitedly, took the opportunity to take advantage of it, and pleaded: "Please, Miss Bai, help me once." ”
Bai Limian retracted his wrist with red ears and pouted: "If you want me to help you, what's the benefit!" ”
"What's the benefit?"
"I don't want to work in vain."
"You see what I need from you, such as how I am a person, in fact, I don't have much to say about being handsome, and I'm still a virgin"
"I don't want to!"
Seeing that she refused so simply, Ma Lie immediately put away his evil thoughts, thought about it for a while, and said: "That's it, as long as I, Ma Lie, are still alive in this world, and you encounter difficulties in the future, even if you come to me, I will do my best to help you." ”
Bai Li asked suspiciously, "Yes, but what if you regret it?" ”
Ma Lie raised his palm and said seriously: "I can swear to the sky!" ”
Swearing is a useless trick at all, but it has always worked well against girls, especially young girls. Regardless of whether Bai Lixiang believes it or not, Ma Lie came out to try it like a live horse doctor.
Sure enough, Bai Li, the always shrewd gambling prince, actually ate this set: "You have to swear a poisonous oath!" ”
"Absolutely!"
Ma Lie squinted and thought for a moment, raised his palm and said in a deep voice: "I owe Miss Bai Li an extremely important favor, how important is this favor, I am willing to repay it with my life!" I swear to God here today that I will pay it back in the future, and if I violate it, I will be thundered by the sky."
Bang!
Before he finished swearing, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, as if to warn and remind a kind-hearted girl.
Ma Lie was startled and said with a wry smile: "Hey, it seems to be raining, I'm afraid it's not safe for us to be on the fork." ”
Bai Li smiled: "Wrong, I'm afraid someone is going to do something bad and was struck by thunder." ”
Ma Lie said shamefully: "I didn't do anything wrong!" ”
"Then keep swearing!"
"Uh, good!" Ma Lie's eyes rolled, thinking that the muffled thunder just now was definitely not a coincidence. In these years, God even has to swear, it's so fucking idle!
"Well, I owe Miss Bai Li an important favor, and I will repay it in the future, and I swear to God that if I break my oath, I will be crossed day and night by all the beautiful women between the ages of 18 and 30 in the whole world, and I will not stop for a moment, until I foam at the mouth and die."
Hearing such a blatant and terrifying oath, Bai Li punched him with a red face, and said angrily: "This oath of yours seems to be cheapening yourself, right?" ”
Ma Lie asked rhetorically, "Please, I will definitely not break this oath in the future, how can such a good thing be my turn?" ”
"Seems to be right!"
Actually confused, Ma Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "Hey, hurry up." ”
"Got it!" After speaking, Bai Li didn't know when there would be an extra mobile phone in his hand, and he clicked two dots on the screen of his fingertips.
"What is this?"
Ma Lie was no longer surprised by her strange behavior, but he still gathered at her side, mainly because he wanted to take advantage of her more. I smelled the faint fragrance of the other party in my nose, and I couldn't help but be intoxicated
