Two days later, Lijiazhuang garden, an abandoned two-story building near the plantation.
It was dark outside, and the sound of rain patting on the window rang through. The sundries on the ground have been cleared to one side. The old-fashioned bulb hangs in the air and emits a dim light. Every corner it touches seems to be covered with a thick layer of dust.
Li Qing was tied to a huge cross in the middle of the room, which is a typical Western Aesthetics and looks more like the crucified Jesus in Christianity. His whole body was tied with steel cables, and he had a huge brass lock on his chest. Four steel wires passed through the palm and clavicle respectively, and finally were nailed to the cross behind them. The dried blood covered the ground with dust and accumulated into a pool. Due to excessive blood loss, Li Qing's cheeks were pale and strangely blue.
In order to prevent Li Qing from escaping, there is no need.
With the creaking sound, the wooden door was slowly opened. A thin young man came in and stood aside his dripping umbrella. With his two bracelets on his chest, he walked slowly across from Li Qing, looked up and down at Li Qing with some appreciation at the bottom of his eyes, and tutted: "cousin, do you feel good?"
Seeing that Li Qing had no reaction, the man picked up the ladle from the tin bucket on one side, scooped up half a ladle of water, raised his hand and poured it on Li Qing's face, smiled and said, "can this make you sober up?"
His head moved. Li Qing gently licked his lips and smiled: "Li Xian, are you here to see the excitement?"
"Cousin, you raise your head." Li Xian said softly, "let me see what you look like now. I've never seen you before. Do you think it's strange?"
"Although you were not cute and annoying more than ten years ago, I didn't expect that you had become a barking dog after such a long time. Do you feel very disappointed that you didn't get anything from the cooperation with blood skeleton? Your strength is not equal, and there is no way to get the benefits you deserve. I shouldn't teach you this truth?" There was a laugh in Li Qing's voice.
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly. Li Xian pulled a folding chair and sat opposite Li Qing: "it's my greatest benefit to solve you. As for the rest, I'm still young and have decades to be busy."
"But they don't want me to die easily." Li Qing said with a smile. "I'm curious how you came in. Aren't there some bean sprouts outside?"
"Money, women, jewelry." Li Xian shrugged gently. "The so-called blood skeleton first-class killer is just like this. People can always be bought off. I'm really disappointed."
"They are out of class goods. They are really first-class killers. They will make your teeth ache."
"Like you? I've learned it." Li Xian nodded gently, "not only toothache, headache, heartache, but also pain all over the body. I'm trembling all night and can't sleep. I'm afraid there aren't many people in the world who miss you so much."
With a slight pause, Li Xian continued: "Cousin, I have always wondered why everyone likes you because I was smarter, more obedient and more sensible than you. I thought you were the eldest young master of the Li family. They just wanted to curry favor with the future owner. But when I took this position, I found that those servants were still secretly reading your name behind their backs. And I was more beautiful in their eyes Like a clown. "
"Those people are afraid of me because of my current status. I know in my heart that if I fall into the same end as you did in those years, only those fleas will jump up and trample me without hesitation, and the end will only be more miserable than yours. I have endured for so many years and paid so much, but I still can't completely replace you."
Li Qing still didn't look up, but the smile on his face was slowly expanding: "did you give up rouer by forbearance and pay?"
Li Xian's body suddenly stiffened.
"I knew you liked rou'er at that time, but I didn't dare to show it, but I didn't expect you would still bury it in your heart for so many years. It's really a coward." Li Qing's face was full of sarcasm, "Li Xian, you are so much like the owner of the Li family. But you should know that those in high positions are ruthless, skillful and deep. They must be enemies all over the world. I don't think of myself as superior, so many friends are always out of reach."
Li Xian slowly stood up: "I really envy you."
"Blame you for being too greedy." Li Qing replied with a smile.
His face sank slightly. Li Xian took out a short knife from one side and shook it in front of Li Qing: "I've been thinking about what to do after catching you. If you cut your meat piece by piece and give it to the hunting dogs for food, the barking and howling of dogs will ring from all directions, and the scene will be spectacular."
"If you dare not kill me, don't play such a child's trick."
After biting his teeth, Li Xian retreated and threw his short knife on the ground.
"Who's inside?" an obscure and hoarse voice suddenly sounded outside the small building. "Get out!"
As the voice fell, Yang Xun pushed the door in almost rudely. He wore a raincoat. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain slowly flowed down along the corner of the raincoat.
"Who let you in? Go out!" stared at Li Xian, and Yang Xun shouted. Li Xian's eyes were slightly frozen and turned to look at Yang Xun: "don't you think it's rude to talk to me like this on Li's territory?" "what kind of thing are you?" Yang Xun didn't take Li Xian seriously, pulled off his raincoat and threw it aside, pointed out to the door and said, "get out!" everyone was angry. What's more, Li Xian, who was in a high position, walked towards Yang Xun step by step, His face was blue: "if you dare to repeat what you just said, I'll let you..." before he finished, Yang Xun flew up, grabbed Li Xian's throat and pressed him directly on the dusty ground. Staring at Li Xian's eyes, Yang Xun said word by word: "get out, go!" "you can go back and pick up your broken sniper rifle, but you'd better not shoot behind me, or I'll skin you." Yang Xun said this, ground his teeth, and suddenly raised his hand to throw Li Xian aside. With a light cough, Li Xian got up from the ground, rubbed the bruise on his throat, stared at Yang Xun, then went to the corner of the wall without saying a word, took his umbrella and turned out. Raised his head and looked at Li Qing. Yang Xun turned around and scooped up half a ladle of water. He took out a salt bag from his pocket and sprinkled some into it. Then he shook, pulled over the stool and stood up to feed Li Qing. Li Qing lost too much blood and didn't drop water for two days. Li Qing was really thirsty. After drinking most of the water, he shook his head gently. Yang Xun sighed, got down from the stool and threw the ladle into the bucket. "It's ridiculous." Li Qing suddenly said with a faint smile, "you traitor, you show loyalty here. I'm going to wipe tears for you. What about us? We've all become traitors. Feng Shui turns around in turn." his cheeks are a little red. Yang Xun's face is stiff and silent. "I still remember the day you ran away, I was standing in the woods. You saw you killed more than a dozen crocodiles, crossing the river covered with blood, lying in the mud on the bank, panting heavily." Li Qing's voice was very light, with a trace of melancholy. "I really envied you at that time. Do you know why?" Yang Xun's eyes were red. He thought that only he knew these things, Unexpectedly, Li Qing has been looking at him in the distance. Until now, Yang Xun finally understood why he was able to escape the pursuit of blood skeletons. It was not that Yang Xun's life should not be lost, but that Li Qing released him. "You are free." Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief slowly. "It feels good to be free. Fortunately, I realized later. Now they want me to go back and dream." "Captain..." "what do they want you to do?" Li Qing directly interrupted Yang Xun and suddenly asked, "do you want to be a lobbyist? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." "Captain, the commander asked me to convey their meaning to you. As long as you hand over the things left by the ancient boat to you, you can leave, and they will give you the life you want." Yang Xun's Adam's apple rolled, "I know old Dong treated you well at the beginning, but you..." hehe, when did he treat me well? "Li Qing sneered, "I live to this day because my life is hard. I'm stronger than others. It's not Lao Gu Dong who left his hand. Otherwise, my life will be sent to the king of hell together with hundreds of people. In the old antique's heart, there is only the strong and the weak, and the rest are no different." Yang Xun was slightly stunned: "Captain, what are you doing to keep the secret for him? Hand over the things and you can get out and have fun. Isn't that what you always want?" "isn't your innocence pretended?" Li Qing sneered, "If I hand over my things, in addition to continuing to work for them, the other way is to die. Do you really think they will let me go out freely according to the iron law of blood skeleton?" "this..." Yang Xunjiang was there, speechless. "I'm quite curious about you." Li Qing said faintly, "with your character, how can you work for blood skeleton again?" This question seemed to touch a nerve of Yang Xun, making his hands tremble. Li Qing waited for a while and didn't get an answer, so he slowly raised his head and stared at Yang Xun without blinking. The two steel wires passing through the clavicle hurt as soon as Li Qing looked up, so this was the first time Li Qing looked up after being nailed to it This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation
