Chapter 32: Dangerous People
At their insistence, Li Li had to change her mind and rest for half a day alone, so that she would always have someone around to serve.
Remembering that the future soldier was still in the cellar in the middle of the house, Li Li rushed over with a food box.
The cellar was in a better condition than Li Li had imagined, although it was a little darker and damp, but it did not have the unpleasant pungent smell, and I think someone took care of it regularly.
At the side of the floor temporarily prepared by Mama Qi, Ma Rui had already woken up, sitting in the corner in a trance, a little unable to tell what year it was.
In the moments before he fell unconscious, he tried his best to crawl to the door of the mansion in front of him, and his last consciousness was the vermilion door.
But is he being rescued now, or has he been captured by those people?
There was a voice from the mouth of the cellar, someone came down, and the figure was still a half-grown child, holding the skirt in one hand and the food box in the other was very clumsy, and I thought that I should not do this kind of thing very often.
There was only one oil lamp in the cellar, and in the dim light, Li Li stretched out his fleshy little hand and shook it in front of him, tilting his head to look at him as if he was puzzled: "You shouldn't be stupid, right?" ”
A childish face appeared in his eyes, and Ma Rui suddenly realized that he had been rescued.
Seeing that his eyes moved, Li Li didn't care what he was thinking, and put the food and boiled medicine that had already been prepared in the food box on the ground.
"You have injuries on your body, remember to drink the medicine after eating. Your enemies are still wandering outside the house, and they dare not come in, and I dare not let you out, so I can only grieve you to stay in the cellar for a few days. ”
Grievance?
What's wrong with this, not long ago, in order to escape for his life, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Qin family, he also competed with dogs for food and lived with beggars.
Although I live in the cellar now, at least I have a shelter from the wind and rain, and I can eat hot meals.
He was not aggrieved at all.
It was a long time before Li Li heard the person in front of him speak in a hoarse and harsh voice.
"I, don't die as a slave!"
Although there was only one sentence, Li Li understood what he meant, and wanted to pretend to say something in a deep voice, but when he found that he was only a ten-year-old child, he could only change his tone: "Don't worry, my family is not short of servants, and I will not ask you to sell yourself into slavery." ”
Seeing that Ma Rui still didn't trust him, Li Li said again: "My father said that saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and you shouldn't coerce people with kindness." ”
Ma Rui's eyes rolled, and he didn't know if he believed what she said.
"Who is your father?"
Li Li didn't answer him, but said, "When you finish eating, knock on the floor, and someone will come in and clean up, and if you need anything, just tell them, as long as it's not too much, they will meet you." ”
Now Ma Rui is in an extremely nervous situation, and no matter what he says to him now, he is very distrustful in his heart.
In that case, she didn't want to waste time on him for the time being, even if he could become a soldier in the future, but it would be a matter for the future.
After confirming that his condition was fine, Li Li did not delay, and carefully climbed the ladder to leave the cellar with the hem of his skirt in both hands.
After she left, Ma Rui suddenly felt that the cellar was a little cold, and he couldn't help but wrap the quilt tightly. Looking at the steaming food on the ground, without any hesitation, he stuffed it into his mouth one bite after another, even if he was extremely hungry at this time, but his movements were still graceful.
The prolonged dry cough caused a slight pain in his throat, but the speed of eating still did not increase or decrease, and perhaps only this pain could remind him that he really survived.
Hua Xiang had been waiting outside the cellar, and when she saw that Li Li came up safely, she breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and handed over a pink cloak, and persuaded: "In the future, these things will be left to the subordinates to do, girl, you are weak, and the cellar is cold and damp, so it is better to come here less in the future." ”
Li Li did not answer, full of satisfaction and doubt.
Ma Rui in this life is very different from Ma Rui in the previous life, although she has not had contact with Ma Rui, the squire of the military department in her previous life, she can also know from the mouths of others that Ma Rui is a humble son who treats people gently and politely.
But the Ma Rui she saw in the cellar was completely different, his eyes were like wolves, and there was a deep hatred in his eyes, and he was even more cautious, and he was highly vigilant against everyone.
By the way, she only knows Ma Rui's background, but she doesn't know what happened to Ma Rui before he fell into human traffickers, perhaps, what happened before is the reason for Ma Rui's personality to change?
Or is it that Ma Rui has always been in the cellar, but in his previous life, he was able to play a humble son in front of everyone, and he never showed his feet to be suspected.
Also, how can a person who has experienced great hardships in life and death be gentle?
From this point of view, Ma Rui's scheming seems to be even deeper.
"Huaxiang, today you will go to the slave shop, gradually investigate the origin of the trafficker, and gradually investigate the whereabouts of the trafficker in recent days, and then come back and report to me."
Where would an ordinary ten-year-old child say such a thing, but Li Li couldn't care about it, and she had to investigate this matter clearly because of the danger of revealing her identity.
As for Ma Rui, to be on the safe side, she won't do anything for the time being.
Ma Rui is the same age as An Yichen this year, but they are only junior high school students in modern times, but in ancient times, the depth of scheming has already made her feel a deep toothache.
Hua Xiang was very surprised, and replied truthfully: "If you want to investigate the situation of all the traffickers, the Fuzhong side will definitely get the news." ”
"You go in person, there are a lot of beggars in Beijing, you send more money and let them collect it for me."
Thinking that everything she did was under the control of the An Mansion, Li Li was inevitably a little frustrated, and the training of intelligence officers could no longer be delayed.
She still walked in person.
Before leaving, Li Li deliberately counted his savings over the years.
A total of two hundred taels.
In just a split second, she felt like she had fallen from heaven to hell.
So poor, so poor, so embarrassed!
Also, in the past five years, in addition to the share in the house, there are only red envelopes given by a few sisters and godfathers and godmothers during the New Year's holidays.
In addition, she has always used it amazingly, so it is inevitable at this time......
Hua Xiang secretly glanced at Li Li, and said unhurriedly: "Actually, it's not just that, the eldest young master has also sent a lot of things to the girl over the years, and it should be ten times as much as here." ”
Two thousand taels!
I have to say that for a moment Li Li moved her heart, but then she denied the idea in her heart.
Two hundred taels, it is not a problem to buy a few people, anyway, she doesn't need to make a share of the people in other courtyards, and it is not a problem to raise a few people privately.
Find a way to start a small business......
After planning what should be done later, Li Li instantly had the confidence to walk out of the mansion with a swagger, of course, she is still playing a blind person now.
