Chapter 63: In Danger
She hadn't been beaten for a long time, and she couldn't remember what it was like to suffer her flesh and skin, but the taste was definitely uncomfortable, she didn't want to be beaten, and she didn't want Xiao Erhei to take her away.
The butcher laughed coldly, she dared to put herself on herself and stop him, and now she wants to ask for mercy, how can it be so easy?
It's really whimsical, he doesn't teach her a lesson? If she wants to see him, she has to hide.
When every heavy punch fell, Li Jicai felt like hail falling on his body, and it hurt to smash.
It's dense and like raindrops.
The pain made her unable to speak, her head was missed, and she felt that it was dark in front of her and she almost fainted.
But the next second, I was awakened by the pain. His stomach was beaten several times, and his arm seemed to be twisted.
Butchers can fight wherever they want, and they have fun with themselves.
In the end, he simply grabbed Li Jicai's neck, and then slammed it on the ground, raised his foot and stepped on it.
This feeling of trampling made Li Jicai think of Jiang Li beating her like this at that time, first beating her with her hands, and then pushing and shoving after the hands were finished, and then throwing it on the ground and stepping on it with her feet.
The butcher didn't take a knife to cut, and she was already grateful, probably because he didn't bring a knife today.
Li Jicai was beaten to death by him, and blood flowed profusely.
There was a constant oozing of blood from the mouth, nose and ears.
The butcher was ruthless.
At this time, Li Jicai was resigned to fate, her head was groggy, and she couldn't see if Xiao Erhei had escaped.
Fortunately, she just happened to come back and bumped into her, otherwise I don't know who took Xiao Erhei away.
It is estimated that it will be useless for Li Jiye to come back, only to be beaten with him.
I can only wait for the butcher to vent herself, and hope that she will not be killed.
Li Jicai didn't expect anyone to save her at this time, in this huge capital, human life was like a mustard, and in this small alley where they lived, everyone else went to Qi Mansion to see the excitement.
Even if someone is there, there is no guarantee that the other party will help, after all, they don't have any relatives in the capital now, who can they count on?
If someone hadn't intervened in the end, Li Jicai, who had been beaten with open skin and flesh and visible bones, would probably have been beaten to death by the butcher in the end.
The people who came were not expected.
That's right, it's the people in the Qi Mansion, not the housekeeper himself, but a steward under the housekeeper.
It is said that the stewed pot sent by Li Jicai that day was favored by a nobleman, and it was very novel, so when I suddenly remembered it today, I asked casually.
But who could have known that there was no such dish at today's banquet, so the housekeeper was so frightened that he immediately sent someone to fetch it.
It is also Li Jicai's good luck, otherwise someone like her who has no door and no household, is alone. How could it be accepted by such a high-ranking family.
The little steward took five servants with him, and it took a lot of effort to get out of the encirclement of the people.
Fortunately, at the beginning, Li Jicai was asked to leave an address, otherwise he would really not be able to find anyone for a while.
If they can't find anyone, it's difficult to go back, but fortunately, they found the alley where Li Jicai lived, and they were checking door to door, whether it was the person they were looking for, and they happened to bump into Li Jicai being beaten by the butcher.
Naturally, the other party took action to stop it, and it was really mad to make such a big move on a woman in broad daylight.
The little steward of the Qi Mansion is surnamed Fang.
, I have been working in Qi Mansion for five or six years, and the tutor in Qi Mansion is very good, and it is natural to do this kind of thing of pulling out a knife to help each other when the road is uneven.
The look on the butcher's face turned hideous and bloodthirsty to indifference and unwillingness, and he was not happy enough, so he was interrupted.
"What are you doing? He actually beat a woman here. ”
"It's nothing, she's my wife, you don't have to worry about family affairs." The butcher lied without blushing or beating his heart, looking at Steward Fang with an indifferent face.
Steward Fang couldn't help but hesitate, indeed, this is someone's family matter, so it's not easy to meddle.
But he looked at this woman, if he didn't stop her, she would almost be killed, and it would be a human life.
"What can't you say well, you have to beat people like this? If you harm people's lives, you won't have good fruit to eat when you go to the government. ”
"Don't be honest and steal men." The butcher threw another word.
There was a commotion and discussion among several family members. The alley was pitch black and sloppy, except for the two lanterns that the family was carrying, and even the moonlight could not shine in.
They also wanted to use the lantern to shine a light on the woman who was beaten down in front of them.
Li Jicai has been beaten to a bloody blur, his face can't be seen clearly, only a place of blood.
She could still hear some words, and knew that the butcher in front of her was lying, but she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth, and the few people who interrupted them were leaving, leaving them alone.
Xiao Erhei, I don't know where it came from, he bit one of the people's trouser legs, wrapped around the person, and didn't let him go.
The family thought that Xiao Erhei was attacking him, and he was so frightened that he jumped up and wanted to break free from the dog.
After Xiao Erhei was freed, he ran directly to Li Jicai's side, and then covered his whole body on her.
There was a "whine" sound coming out of the whole dog's mouth, as if to defend it, and sometimes crying.
I don't know how this dog suddenly ran out? The more Steward Fang looked at it, the more suspicious he became, but he still didn't plan to intervene, the matter between this man and woman and this dog, the banquet had already begun, and it was more important to get down to business at the moment.
"Do you know if there is anyone named Li Jicai around here?" This was said to the butcher, and the butcher's face stiffened, and then he shook his head directly and said, "I don't know." ”
"No way, her family lives in this alley."
"I don't live here." The butcher was afraid that it would be revealed after a long time, so he simply prepared one hand to pick up the dog leash on the ground, and the other hand to pick up the bloody Li Jicai, and he wanted to take the two of them away.
"Wait, I'm not done yet."
"What else? I'm going back, and you're not a person, so who are you to ask me? ”
Steward Fang, who was enraged by the butcher's words, laughed angrily: "I bumped into this matter today, I will take care of it and go to the government with me." ”
Steward Fang is also a temperamental, no matter what the reason, it is not right for the butcher to beat people here.
"Don't go! Why? The butcher took two steps back with obvious vigilance, he was worried that these family members would rush up and his fists would be invincible, but he didn't intend to retreat like that.
It's funny to say, the name Li Jicai is not very familiar to the butcher, but he has heard it a few times, and it is likely that it is his neighbor, and more likely, he was beaten down on this ground.
Thinking of this, if these people were coming to her, then the lies they had just told would not be true.
The butcher is not a fool, he just wants this dog, whether it is to skin it and sell it for money, or to eat meat.
"I ...... I......... I...... Li Jicai!!! Li Jicai, who was carried, struggled desperately and shouted out this sentence with all his strength.
She tried hard to explain that she was Li Jicai, so that these unidentified people who came to her couldn't sit idly by.
Sure enough, Steward Fang's face changed greatly after hearing this, could it be that the people on the earth were the ones they were looking for? Now that they're all beaten like this, how can they cook?
Thinking of what the housekeeper Sister Cai said when they went out, they said that they must bring people back, what should they do now?
Steward Fang lost his mind for a while, thought for a while and said, "You guys arrest her, don't let that person go, run away and arrest me." ”
As soon as the butcher heard that they were going to arrest him, he hurriedly put the dog and the man down and prepared to run.
But those family members are also well-trained all year round, and it is not a problem to deal with a butcher in the market, even if he is tall and strong, it is not a problem to press him.
Steward Fang looked at Li Jicai and asked carefully, "Where do you live?" ”
Li Jicai smiled bitterly in her heart, she was beaten like this, is it important for Li Jicai? Shouldn't saving people come first?
Thanks to my body, it's really resistant. After accumulating some strength, Li Jicai shouted out directly, which was the address he left in Qi Mansion at that time: "Nancheng District, next to XX Alley XX." ”
After Steward Fang heard that the address he knew by heart was told by Li Jicai, he was also very excited, but he could be regarded as having found the person, no matter what she looked like now, as long as the person could be brought back to the errand.
If it is really like what this butcher said, she is really stealing men outside, then, even if her food is delicious, this person can't stay in Qi Mansion for long and pollute the atmosphere of the mansion.
As for this man, he will also bring it back for the time being, and hand it over to the government after finding out the truth later.
In case the person in front of him was talking nonsense, wouldn't he just let go of the bad guy for nothing.
In the end, a man, a woman, and a dog were all taken back to Qi Mansion by Steward Fang.
But when they entered through the back door, the banquet in the Qi Mansion was in full swing, the guests were all gathered in the front hall, and the back kitchen was even more busy, constantly transporting dishes to the front.
Steward Fang was a little embarrassed, he tried his best to comfort himself in his heart, saying that the housekeeper just asked him to bring people over at that time, and did not say whether the people were good or were beaten down.
Now that this person has been beaten down, it doesn't matter to him whether he can cook or not.
But when he sent Li Jicai to Ruoping's housekeeper, he still couldn't help but feel a little trembling and uneasy.
Because, Ruoping's housekeeper's eyes are still quite scary.
"I'll tell you to bring someone back, so you're going to bring me this thing?"
Li Jicai is already a blur of flesh and blood, no one cares whether she is dead or alive, and no one says that they want to hire a doctor or anything for her.
"Back to the housekeeper, when I found his house, this woman was being beaten by a man, or we stopped her, otherwise she would have been killed."
He also probed her breath when he sent it to the butler, and made sure that the person was not dead, so he brought it over.
"Do you think she can still cook now? The noble man is waiting, what should I do now? Won't you prepare some? Ruoping was a little annoyed by the anger, originally these little things didn't need his orders.
Steward Fang immediately bowed his head and was speechless.
Li Jicai, who was paralyzed on the ground, couldn't do anything, after all, she really couldn't climb up in her current situation.
"Forget it, you take her down to clean and clean first, ask a doctor, and wait until the nobleman asks."
"Yes."
After a short conversation between the housekeeper and the steward and Li Jicai in the courtyard, the housekeeper went to the front hall, while the steward Fang took Li Jicai to the firewood room, and then went to the doctor, the dog had been tied up and the man had been locked up.
That noble person is none other than the Qi family and his wife, in fact, Mrs. Qi wants to eat, and Mrs. Qi's desire to eat is equivalent to that of Master Qi's desire to eat.
Mrs. Qi felt that this taste was very peculiar compared to previous dishes.
Spicy but not very spicy, sweet but not very sweet, the juice is very rich, and the taste is a bit like that of a foreigner.
Although there are all kinds of dishes in the capital, it is really rare to have a strange aroma like this, and it is really rare to feel very refreshing to eat it.
It also happened that day, when Mrs. Qi passed by the back kitchen, she smelled it and thought it was very amazing, so Li Jicai's happened to get extra attention.
After all, compared to other light dishes, she is considered to have a heavy taste, so she is unique.
Li Jicai happened to be saved because of such an opportunity, I'm afraid she couldn't even think of it.
The doctor who came to treat Li Jicai didn't expect that this little girl had been beaten like this, and she hadn't breathed yet.
Look at this body is quite thin, I didn't expect it to be quite beaten, a few tricks of bleeding are fine, he wonders if this kid has returned to the light or how to talk about it?
After all, he has been practicing medicine for so many years, and he has never encountered such a patient.
Although she has no strength and is in a semi-comatose state, she can still consciously resist and struggle when others move.
The doctor simply cleaned up Li Jicai's exposed skin, and then asked a maid from Qifu to help her change into clean clothes.
Let the maid check for broken wounds, actually
Seeing that her wound was punched and kicked by someone, not with any sharp weapon, this is a blessing in misfortune.
But it's all internal injuries, it's up to her to live or not, anyway, if he dies, it doesn't matter to him, he has done his best.
Steward Fang could also understand, so he took the initiative to emphasize that this woman was rescued by him when he saw an injustice on the road and pulled out a knife to help. In this way, if this woman died, it would be a fact that it was neither the doctor's business nor the Qi Mansion's business.
But unfortunately, Mrs. Qi really asked about this in the front hall, and she asked why the cook didn't show up? What about the dish?
