173 praying mantis catching cicadas
Li Tong knows very well that she can't push people too hard, so when it comes to this, she will shut up for the time being.
She didn't want Miss Xi Er to get into the tip of the horns, and then thought that she had caught it anyway, so it was better to kill and gamble.
What if Li Ye didn't find Li Tong?
What if Baili Ye didn't find out that it was her?
Most people in this world can't escape the word luck.
However, fortunately, this Miss Xi Er has not been completely carried away by love, after weighing the pros and cons, she put down the dagger in her hand, stared at Li Tong for a long time, and then raised her foot and kicked her chest.
It was so heavy that Li Tong almost didn't catch his breath.
Feeling as if his ribs had been kicked off, Li Tong was so painful that he couldn't keep his shape, his upper body bent down, and his head almost touched the ground.
This little!
Li Tong fell to the ground, gasping for breath, his face pale from pain.
"I'll admit that you convinced me, and I did start to get scared, but since I did, it wasn't so easy to put you back, so you can stay here."
With that, Miss Xi Er turned around and left.
Li Tong clearly heard the lock outside hanging up again, and then the sound of footsteps fading away.
The nerves that had been tense suddenly relaxed, and Li Tong's whole body simply went limp, and the pain gradually eased over time, but as long as she moved, she would immediately come back.
But fortunately, Li Tong did not vomit blood.
"Baili Ye, dog man, when will you find me?"
Li Tong pressed his forehead against the ground, cursed lowly, endured the biting pain, and propped himself up from the dirty ground.
The light outside was getting dimmer and the fear was getting stronger and stronger, Li Tong was tied hands and feet, unable to move, and at this moment he was really like a quail shrinking in the corner.
"Hey! Is there anybody? Li Tong shouted out the door.
"Is there anyone? I'm so hungry! ”
There was no movement outside the door.
"Even a lamb waiting to be slaughtered should be fed before he dies, right?" Li Tong shouted again.
There was still no movement outside the door.
Li Tong couldn't help but start thinking, is this Miss Xi Er really stupid, she didn't even arrange the people guarding the door, she was so relieved that she wouldn't escape?
Li Tong pressed his back against the wall, propped his palms on the wall, and pressed the soles of his front feet against the ground, supporting himself little by little to stand up.
The doors and windows were tightly closed, and Li Tong couldn't look out from the inside, so he had to jump to the door.
Through the narrow crack in the door, she saw that the courtyard outside was very empty, there were no weeds, and it was probably cleaned up regularly, but there were no potted plants or other decorations, and it didn't look like an abandoned house, more like no one lived in it.
Li Tong tilted his head and thought about it, there are many houses like this in Yicheng, and there are really no iconic things in the courtyard.
And the room where she was was in had a strong smell of wood mold in the air, and she knew it was a firewood room when she smelled it.
Li Tong slammed the door lightly, making a slight movement.
After the collision, she looked outside again, but there was still no half of her figure coming out, and she was really not worried at all!
Li Tong leaned against the wall, slowly moved to the window, pushed her head on the top, and found that the window was nailed, and then, she slowly moved to the other side, still nailed.
After a few turns of the eyeballs, the light in the room became dimer and darker, and before long, the room would probably be pitch black, and then nothing could be seen.
Being alone in such a strange place, no matter who you are, you can't help but feel a sense of fear.
Eventually, Li Tong set his sights on the firewood that filled almost half of the room.
Some of them were already chopped and stacked in the corners, and some of them were long, thin, dry branches, tied together with hemp rope, and stacked in the corners.
Li Tong jumped over slowly, then turned his back, hooked one of the bundles of branches with his still movable hand, brought it to the side, and then took the inner bundle out little by little.
The branches were rough, and Li Tong's fingers that did not touch the spring water scratched the skin after a while, and the wrist was even more shocking, red and swollen.
Barely leaving a gap to hide people, Li Tong stuffed himself into it without hesitation.
She turned inside, stretched out her arms, and hooked back the bundles of branches that had been placed outside, blocking the gap.
She pulled her dress in with her foot, opened her eyes, and looked out through the slit.
It grew quieter and darker, until at last only the sound of his own breathing and his slow heartbeat.
Here, she's the only one.
On the other side, Bai Li Ye found Youchun who was thrown in the stinky ditch, but the other party did not kill her, but tied her up strongly, and her mouth was stuffed with a stinky cloth.
"General, save Madame!" The first second that Youchun could speak, he cried and shouted.
Bai Liye's face was pale: "Do you see your face clearly?" ”
Youchun opened his mouth and shook his head sadly.
"Madame, has you had any recent grudges?"
Hearing him ask, Youchun immediately had an idea: "It's Miss Xi Er!" ”
"Xi Ying's daughter?"
"Yes."
"General, we can't ...... it without evidence," Bi Yu persuaded sensibly.
Bai Li Ye raised his hand: "Don't worry, it's about the safety of my wife, I won't be impulsive." Biyu, you take a team of people to Xi's Mansion to find Xi Ying, and by the way, see if Xi Huaiying is in the mansion, if not, let Xi Ying arrest her back. ”
"Yes!"
"Lian Rui, you go to Li Yinzhi, tell him about the matter, and ask him to go to Qiu Zhongxiao to ask for news."
"Subordinates take orders!"
Bai Li Ye raised her head, it was getting dark, and she didn't know if those people had prepared dinner for Mrs., or if those people had bullied her.
When Lian Rui found Li Yinzhi, he was still drinking in the flower building, hugging left and right, extremely comfortable.
"No, who are you? This little brother, didn't anyone tell you that you had to knock on the door before you entered? Li Yinzhi's beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of wine, and when he looked at people, he seemed to be blatantly sending autumn waves.
Lian Rui frowned: "I'm sorry, please go out first, and discuss with Master Li on important matters." ”
Li Yinzhi has a natural fear of this kind of person with a knife, not to mention, there is a smell of Baili Ye on this person, and when he turns his head again, there are five or six people standing behind him who are similar to him.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Li Yinzhi poured himself another glass of wine, full of resentment: "I came to Shihualou to find me with such fanfare, and I don't know if I think I offended a big man?" ”
Lian Rui didn't have so many polite words, so he immediately opened his mouth and went straight to the point: "Mrs. is kidnapped, the other party's identity is unknown, please ask Lord Li to ......"
"What's that?!" Without waiting for Lian Rui to finish speaking, Li Yinzhi's half-drunk wine immediately sobered up, and screamed without any image.
Lian Rui was taken aback, but quickly stabilized himself and continued: "Please also ask Lord Li to go to Lord Qiu and ask about the news on the rivers and lakes." ”
Li Yinzhi's mind turned quickly, and he immediately understood Bai Liye's intentions: "Got it, you go back and find someone." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lian Rui only felt that a gust of wind swept past him, and when he looked closely, there was no Li Yinzhi in the room.
He was secretly surprised by Li Yinzhi's skills, and then turned around and walked out the door.
In the firewood room, it is almost impossible to see.
Li Tong squinted for a while, and when she opened her eyes, she only felt as if she was highly short-sighted, and the darkness of the room was like thick ink, condensed in front of her eyes, making it impossible for her to see everything in the room.
Although, there's nothing worth seeing.
It was already dark, and Li Tong clearly understood that no one on the other party had come at all, and even as if he had forgotten her existence, he didn't even bring her dinner.
Her requirements are not high at all, even if it is a rancid steamed bun!
Is this a different way?
Planning to starve her?
Li Tong only felt that this way of dying was really terrible.
She wanted to be a full ghost.
"Baili Ye, when are you coming?" Li Tong muttered.
She wanted to move her fingers, but found that she was already numb, and the pain in her wrist began to spread very slowly, Li Tong thought, probably at this time, she couldn't even notice that her wrist was broken.
Li Tong stepped back, her back against the cold wall, the musty smell of the room had taken her sense of smell into habit, and she could barely smell it.
She tilted her head, feeling the silence around her that could drive people crazy.
It was as if the whole world had abandoned her, and she hid in this pile of dry firewood, like an isolated island that no one cared about, and she would be lonely to death for a long time.
"I'm miserable." Li Tong muttered.
"When I go out, I must have a big meal, I have to have a rock sugar elbow, I have to have a pearl ball, I have to have a bird's nest, fish belly, abalone and ginseng, and I have to have desserts, melt in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, fruits and refreshments have to be all here, and I have to find a few beautiful little brothers to dance for me."
Li Tong snorted and was aggrieved: "I'm so cute, I shouldn't die so early, right?" ”
"I don't know what the name of that Miss Xi Er is, when I go out, I must arrest her and starve her for one meal, no, I have to be hungry for two meals."
Just as Li Tong was chattering by himself, there was a slight movement outside the door.
It seems that there are many people walking around in the yard, although the footsteps are very light, but between walking, there is inevitably a slight sound of weapons colliding, Li Tong held his breath.
Judging from the style of this group, it seems that it is not Miss Xi Er's group.
No way?
Isn't that bloody?
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind?
Then her cicada is too miserable, right?
Li Tong shrank back, although there was no other space behind her for her to hide anymore, but instinct still made her do it.
The lock on the door was quickly shaken a few times.
