Chapter 49: Ransom

Dao Yan has never been a generous person, he holds grudges, he is vicious, he doesn't like to remember gratitude, he only loves to hold grudges. The reason why he was able to tolerate Li Xiruo for so many years and did not come to the door to retaliate was that his kung fu was really not at home, and he was not sure that he could deal with Li Xiruo, and secondly, he still had some luck in his heart.

He had a glimmer of hope, feeling that the reason why Li Xiruo treated him like that was because he misunderstood him, if one day Li Xiruo knew that she was sincere to her, she would regret it, and maybe she would fall in love with herself. But now, Li Xiruo's categorical sentence never regretted making Daoyan's heart half cold.

Dao Yan slowly closed his eyes, this time he not only wanted to get Zhu Yanguo, but also wanted Li Xiruo to live rather than die. Let her always regret the things she did to herself in the rest of her life.

After the Niu family buried Niu Huniu, Li Xiruo put forward a proposal that Niu Huwa could be a guide for them, and promised that the line would pay Niu Huwa a reward of 50,000 yuan. Not to mention that the father and son of the Niu family were already grateful to Li Xiruo and the three of them for helping them find the tiger girl, even for the sake of the 50,000 yuan, they would not refuse.

In a poor and remote place like Ranshi Village, ordinary villagers can only earn a few thousand yuan a year from farming. 50,000 yuan is a sky-high price for Ranshi Village. With this 50,000 yuan, let alone Ranshi Village, even the girls in the nearby villages have to rush to marry Niu Huwa.

Niu Huwa originally responded in one bite, but when she heard that Li Xi was going to go to the depths of the ten-mile mountain, she immediately changed her face, waved her hand and said: "No, no, Miss Li, it's not that I won't accompany you, it's that it's too dangerous, the old people in the village say that it is haunted, and everyone in the village who enters the deep mountains will not come out alive." ”

Li Xiruo smiled slightly and said, "If it is something else, I may still be afraid, but I am not afraid of haunting." As you saw earlier, what I'm best at is catching ghosts and subduing demons. With me here, I won't let any ghosts hurt us. ”

Niu Orion waved his hand, pulled Niu Huwa over, and said, "Miss Li, you are Ah Ming's friend, and you helped Hu Niu again." It is said that you have a request that we should not refuse, but you have also seen that the Niu family is such a lone seedling, he is so old, I didn't marry him a daughter-in-law, and I can't help him if I go into the mountains in case, I don't have the face to see the ancestors of the Niu family when I go underground! ”

Li Xiruo was silent, it was true that she was indifferent to outsiders, but she was not inhuman. Looking at the end of the Niu family, it is impossible for her heart to be completely untouched. Let her swear that there will be no danger in entering the mountain this time, and she can bring Niu Huwa out alive, she really can't say such a thing with a clear conscience.

"I'll go!" When Li Xiruo was silent, a young man's shout suddenly sounded outside the door, Li Xiruo turned around and saw a young man in his early twenties standing at the door, dressed in tatters, with a few holes exposed, and he looked like he knew that life was very embarrassing.

When Niu Orion saw the visitor, his face changed drastically, and he said hurriedly: "Mountain baby, what are you talking nonsense?" Your father is such a lone seedling, if you have a good one, your father will not be able to live in peace underground! ”

The young man sneered: "I may not survive if I don't enter the mountain, what kind of life do I usually live, Uncle Niu, don't you know?" Uncle is going to sell my sister now, and I have to find a way to keep my sister. Otherwise, I really don't have the face to see my father. ”

The bull hunter sighed, but didn't know how to speak. He also knows about the affairs of the Ji family, it's not that the people in their village haven't been busy, but the people in the village are poor, who is in charge of who's house! At most, when the brother and sister were abused too much, they stood up and helped say a few words, and they couldn't help the huge amount of arrears.

The relationship between Niu Huwa and the young man seems to be very good, and he is also anxious, so he stepped forward and said: "Mountain baby, there will always be a way, you can't go, who doesn't know the old people in our village, there is death and no life in the mountain." Our village has been here for many generations, and no one has ever been able to come out of that mountain alive! ”

The young man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Huwa, if there is a little way, I will not take this step." You don't know, uncle, they ......" Speaking of this, the green tendons in the young man's hand flared up, and after a while, he said with a cold face: "They actually want to marry Ah Shui to the widower in the next village, the one who died three daughters-in-law, I inquired, his former daughters-in-law were tortured to death by him during intercourse......

By the end, the boy's eyes were already red......

Niu Huwa's eyes widened in astonishment, her eyes were full of disbelief, and after a while, she blushed and said angrily: "Boss Ji, that brute! Ah Shui is his niece! ”

The boy looked away, apparently not wanting to talk about it anymore. After calming down for a while, he turned his head to look at Li Xiruo: "This young lady, in the past, Brother Huwa would take me with him every time he entered the mountain and teach me to hunt some food and go back to my sister and me to live, so I am also very familiar with the terrain in the mountains." I am willing to be your guide, and there is only one request, that is, please pay in advance and help me redeem my sister from the Ji family. ”

Li Xiruo raised his eyes to look at the young man, and the young man's eyes looked at Li Xiruo seriously and firmly, obviously making up his mind. She had seen many scenes of brothers and sisters killing each other, and it was the first time she had seen a brother who was willing to sacrifice his life to protect his sister.

The boy asked himself to pay in advance, which means that he himself knew that he was likely to die in the mountain when he entered the mountain. His act of accompanying him into the mountain was just exchanging his life for his sister. Li Xiruo really couldn't imagine that in this poor and remote mountain village, the two families he met loved each other like this.

She took a deep breath, walked to the young man's side, and said solemnly: "I will do what you ask, and I will do my best to escort you back." As long as I'm alive, I won't put you in danger. ”

The young man was stunned and looked up at Li Xiruo in surprise. He thought that this girl had given her life money for so many years, but he didn't want Li Xiruo to say such a thing. He was born with a hard life, and almost no one took his life seriously, and this was the first time someone solemnly told him that as long as she was alive, she would protect him.

The young man suppressed the agitation in his heart after a long time, and responded softly: "Okay, Ji Shan's life will be handed over to Miss Li." ”

Li Xiruo brought a bank card and a lot of cash when she came. This is also a loss Zhen Ming reminded her that everyone in this small village is poor, and there are not many people who apply for bank cards, and it is not easy to transfer money. If you want to withdraw money, you have to go to the county seat, so it's better to exchange more cash and bring it.

Li Xiruo took his backpack and followed Ji Shan to Ji's house. Just pushed open the door, and saw a woman in her forties coming towards Ji Shan with a broom: "Where are you wild and dead?" If you don't do so much work at home, don't you want to eat at night? ”

Li Xiruo could still see an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl in the courtyard in the courtyard wearing tattered clothes washing clothes in front of several large wooden basins, and saw the woman holding a broom and beating people instinctively, but when she saw Ji Shan, she couldn't help but stand up and chase after her: "Auntie, don't beat your brother!" ”

Seeing this, Li Xiruo somehow remembered the scene when he was a child daughter-in-law when he was a child, his face was cold, he stretched out his left hand and pulled Ji Shan behind him, and his right hand pulled out the short sword he brought from the backpack behind his back, and with a slight wave, the short sword flashed coldly, and the broom in the woman's hand was broken into three pieces and fell to the ground, leaving only a short handle in the woman's hand.

The woman is notoriously spicy in the village, but that is limited to scolding the street, at most the broom fights, when have you ever seen this kind of master who draws his sword at every turn, and she didn't see how the other party made the sword at all, and her broom became three. If the other party wanted to hurt himself just now, he was afraid that his hands would not be able to be saved.

The woman looked at the handle in her hand in a daze, with fear in her eyes, and then looked up at Li Xiruo, whose face was as cold as ice, and couldn't help shrinking her neck: "You...... Who are you? ”

On the way to come, Li Xiruo listened to Ji Shan talk about him and his sister, and knew that Ji Shan's brother and sister owed the couple money, so they were abused by this woman all year round. But even if they owe money, they are also the uncles and aunts of the Jishan brothers and sisters, and this couple is simply inhumane to the two children.

She never looked down on this kind of person, she didn't bother to look at this woman, she only said coldly: "You don't care who I am, I need Jishan brothers and sisters to help me with things, I want to buy these two, you can make a price." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Li Xi was brought by Ji Shan. Suddenly increased his momentum a little, rolled his eyes and said: "Don't sell, don't sell, hurry up, I'm still ......"

Li Xiruo didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and directly slashed at her palm with a sword, and directly peeled off a third of the skin on her hand, half of her palm was bloody, and it looked indescribably scary.

The woman was stunned and cried out. Li Xiruo flew out with a piece of rune paper, stopped her before she continued to shout, and said coldly: "I said that I wanted to buy their brother and sister, not to discuss with you, but to inform you and let you make a price, if you want to make another sword, I will cut more than just the skin." ”

The woman looked at Li Xiruo in horror, she really didn't expect such a beautiful and cowardly little girl to be so ruthless, looking at this skill, it seems that she is still a practitioner. The woman thought in horror, this kind of person is probably not something that their family can afford to provoke, anyway, she doesn't care about the lives of the Jishan brothers and sisters, who to sell it to is not for sale, so she said timidly: "Woman...... The heroine looks at it......"

Li Xiruo sneered, took out 10,000 yuan from his bag, threw it on the ground, and said coldly: "Is it enough?" ”

This chaotic stone village is generally poor, and it is considered a rich family with a income of a few thousand yuan a year, when has it seen so much money, even if it is sold to a widower, it is only sold for a thousand yuan. When I saw this pile of money, my eyes turned green......
