"Then, can you give me a few days to think about it? I want to go back and see my mother and brother. In any case, under your supervision, our entire family is unable to escape, so you have nothing to worry about, right? " Xia Li endured the disgust in his heart, maintaining the smile on his face, he discussed with Rich Man Yang.
In the next few days, you can stay here peacefully. Once you have thought things through, you can hand over the prescription and I will let you go free, and I will not disturb your family again in the future. Think things over carefully, or else, I will have a way to force you to hand over the prescription.
Rich Man Yang laughed wickedly, and rejected Xia Li unceremoniously.
Xia Li hid the anger in her eyes, looking at the dagger in the fifth brother's hand, she felt a strong sense of threat. Not long after she came out from Yang Xuechen's escort company, she was caught by the people of Rich Man Yang, could it be that they were all in the same group?
Xia Li's brows furrowed even more tightly, as he entered into an unprecedented state of anxiety. In anger, he pushed Ol 'Five aside and returned to his room on the second floor.
The fifth brother was not angry, seeing that Xia Li had left, he signaled for the people on both sides to immediately follow and guard the door of Xia Li's room, preventing her from escaping.
If he wanted to run, he couldn't run away, but could only stay in the room like this. When his mood was low, he couldn't help but think of Sun Chun.
She missed Sun Chun a lot now. What was he doing at this time, would he notice that she had disappeared and come to save her? She really was useless. The first time she came out to sell medicine, she was caught.
Three days later
Lee's brought Xia Qing to search through the entire Tianshui Village, and waited at the village's entrance for three days. However, they still did not find any trace of Xia Li, even when his eyes were swollen from crying, and Sun Chun had also disappeared within these two days.
She could not find any of these two people. She asked the entire village, but no one had ever seen them. She fell into an unprecedented state of despair.

"How is she? Has she given in?"
Rich Man Yang, who was playing with the thumb ring on his hand, looked at Ol 'Five who was standing at the side.
"In reply to grandpa, that girl, she refused to eat two days ago, so she's so hungry that she couldn't hold on any longer. Today she ate two bowls of rice consecutively and stayed in a daze for the rest of the time. She didn't say a single word about the prescription, and her mouth was very hard," Ol 'Five said to Rich Man Yang.
"Master, we treated that little girl too well, she's hungry for two days and she knows that she'll starve to death if we starve her for a few days and nights straight. I think that it wouldn't take too much effort for her to admit her defeat, no matter how important the prescription is, how could her life be more important?"
"That makes sense. From today onwards, you are not allowed to give her even a single grain of rice, let's see how long she can last. Besides, her family is relying on her to survive. If she were to die, won't her weak mother, young brother, and the man who eats soft rice starve to death with her?"
When Rich Man Yang said till here, he patted the fifth brother's shoulder and praised him.
"Ol 'Five, work hard, and help me get this prescription. It's not without your help."
"It's my honor to work hard for this grandpa." The fifth brother knelt on the ground and took this opportunity to show his loyalty to Rich Man Yang again.
A trace of ridicule flashed past Rich Man Yang's eyes, he did not say much, but waved his hand to allow the fifth brother to retreat, he stared blankly at the room Xia Li was in, no matter what, he wanted to obtain the medicinal formula from the girl, it was a treasure bowl used to earn a lot of money.
Xia Li could not remember clearly, this was the day that she was hungry. Right now, her four limbs were weak, her face was pale, and she was not focused.
"How is she now?" The fifth brother stood at the door, looking at the brawny men on both sides.
"Go back to the fifth manager. This girl hasn't drunk a single mouthful of water or eaten a single grain of rice in three days. If she continues to stay hungry, there will be more deaths." One of the boorish men said in a low voice.
"Get to the point, is Xia Li begging for mercy, about the prescription?" Ol 'Five could not be bothered about Xia Li's life and death. He only wanted to get the medicinal formula and give it to the Rich Man Yang to claim credit for.
"She was very quiet and didn't say anything." The boorish man scratched his head and said with a slow reaction.
"Trash!" If she doesn't, won't you ask? "Wooden head!" The fifth brother slapped the guard's head furiously.
The boorish man was beaten up to the point that he didn't dare retaliate, the anger in his heart could only be suppressed. The only thing he could do was shrink back into the corner, hoping that the Rich Man Yang would lessen his attack.
Perhaps it felt that this also meant something, as the fifth brother kicked away the foolish brute in front of him, took the key from his waist, opened the door, and walked in. Xia Li was already unconscious.
"Wake up! Wake up, you stinking girl! " The fifth brother unceremoniously pulled on Xia Li's arm, but there was no reaction. His heart was burning with anxiety, and just as he was pulling, a piece of the sleeves on Xia Li's arm had been ripped off, revealing a piece of healthy and rosy skin. Although it couldn't compare to the young miss' fair and tender skin, it was still enough to arouse the fifth brother's perverted heart.
His eyes gradually darkened, and the moment he reached out to pull at the belt on Xia Li's waist, the sound of tiles shattering suddenly came from above. After a series of explosions, several pieces of tiles crashed down onto the fifth brother's head, hitting him so hard that his head was full of holes, and even his weak forehead had turned ugly. Blood dripped down from his head, and he fainted as he fell onto the bed, unconscious.
At this time, in another room on the second floor, Rich Man Yang was sleeping soundly with his concubine. He didn't realize at all that someone had snuck out of the gap in the door quietly.
A few men in black quietly jumped into the room from the window and dragged him down from the bed. They quickly stripped off his clothes, shaved his head, and put him into a gunny sack as well. Then, they brought him to the cliff above the deep pond near Tianshui Village.
The cold wind swept past him in the middle of the night and hit him mercilessly, waking Rich Man Yang up from his sleep. He sneezed, his entire body shivering as he looked around him in a daze.
Under the flickering moonlight, he looked around him carefully. Anger was spreading all over his body, and he was kicking his legs in an attempt to break the rope and escape into the sky.
Only the weak would cry and complain at the same time. He was the God of Fortune, whose entire Red River Town would tremble with a stamp of his foot. Only other people would be afraid of him, so he would be able to escape safely.
His entire body was shivering and his teeth were chattering uncontrollably. Just who was this person who dared to kidnap him in the middle of the night? As for Ol 'Five, did everyone in the gambling den fall asleep? Why didn't anyone hear the commotion and come to his rescue?!
"Stop struggling. You are now hanging on a cliff. This tree can barely support your weight, but I don't know how long it can last. If you don't know what's good for you, and you fall to your death, then you deserve it!"
A man's mocking voice came from the dark night.
"Who are you!?" How dare you kidnap your father! "Do you believe that tomorrow, everyone in the entire bet house will make life difficult for you? If you know what's good for you, you can let me go!" Rich Man Yang was scared and did not dare to kick or torture him anymore. He just let the rope hang him like this, he did not want to die at all.
"Bullying weak and helpless citizens, extorting people who come to your gambling house to gamble with their debts, and even thinking of snatching the prescription from the hands of Miss Xia Li, you truly are a greedy villain. You should stay here and starve for three days and three nights. It would be best if some wild beasts came and ate you, for the sake of the people! "
The voice of the man in the dark night was indignant, it had a sense of revenge.
"Xia Li, what is your relationship with Xia Li? Did she send you guys to teach me a lesson! No, she doesn't have such power at all! " Rich Man Yang thought hard, but his thoughts were still clear.
"Not just Xia Li, it's for all the innocent citizens whom you have bullied! This is what happens when you bully them! " The man's voice disappeared into the night. In the darkness, Rich Man Yang could only hear the sound of the wind naughtily running back and forth on the cliff. He felt a kind of despair and fear that he had never felt before.
"Don't go! Put me down! " Realizing that he had been abandoned on the cliff, the Rich Man Yang used all her strength to shout. She did not stop her shouting, but all of them were swallowed by the darkness, and no one paid attention to her.
When Xia Li woke up, there was a clear sound of the wind chime in front of him. The blue bell was hung on the window ledge, swaying in circles in the wind. The window was open, and you could see the peaceful and peaceful courtyard outside.
She suddenly felt that these scenes were extremely familiar, and she couldn't recall where she saw them. Just as she was feeling confused, a girl dressed in green walked in, Xia Li looked at the bowl of hot wontons in her hands, and her stomach started to growl even louder, but right now, her entire body was weak, her head was buzzing, and she could not utter a word.
"Miss Xia Li, you have been in a coma for three days and three nights. In the middle of it, you have only drunk a little water from time to time. As the little girl said this, she placed the disc on the table and helped Xia Li sit up. She placed the pillow behind her back up and laid her down as she fed the primal chaos spoonful by spoonful.
Xia Li slightly propped up his mouth, chewed, swallowed, and made a few inconspicuous movements, but it seemed to have exhausted all of her strength. After eating for a whole incense of time, the little girl's arms and hands became sore, she placed the bowl of food on the table, walked over to the rack that was used to wash her face, and used a clean towel to wrench out the water, wiping her mouth, then brought over a cup of tea, and fed spoonful after spoonful of it to.
After resting quietly for two days, her physical strength finally began to recover. Although her steps were still as light as if she was walking on cotton, she was extremely happy to be able to walk out on her own accord.
Xia Li walked to the veranda, looked at the golden carp in the lake fighting over food, and realised that her memories had started to return. If she remembered correctly, she was in the escort company on Red River Town, why was she here?
