There was no sound from within!
Ling Tian furrowed his brows as he repeated his words.
There was still no response.
Ling Tian was getting impatient. Since I have already discovered you, regardless of whether I am the one who captured you, there is one thing I can be sure of. That is, you will not be able to leave for the time being! Since that is the case, why don't you just walk out and hide like a tortoise? Do you think you will be safe?
Ling Tian took a step forward and kicked out.
With a crash, the pile of grass and the snow on top of it flew far away. Below, there was a small figure curled up. It was the little beggar that Ling Tian had only seen once before.
Ling Tian frowned. With such a huge commotion, the little beggar was still curled up there motionless! Ling Tian went closer to take a look and could not help but laugh at himself. The little guy had already fainted! No wonder the breathing sound he heard was so weak. He had already fallen into a coma and could die at any time ….
Stretching out his right hand, he touched the little beggar's forehead. En, it was frighteningly hot. He actually had a high fever! The situation was a little troublesome. Ling Tian thought of the various remedies for high fever in his previous life. After thinking through it, it seemed that none of them could be used under such conditions.
Ling Tian slapped his head. Since it was like this, he could only use extreme methods to wake him up first. Grabbing a handful of snow from the ground beside him, he clenched it tightly in his hand, turning it into a hard snow cube and rubbing it on the little beggar's face. Under the stimulation of the cold, the little beggar could not help but moan.
Ling Tian held the snow cube in his hand and rubbed it on the little beggar's face faster and faster. His palm could feel the snow cube getting hotter and hotter!
This was an extremely crude method. However, it was obvious that this method was extremely useful. Rubbing the snow on a person with frostbite was the best way to treat frostbite. Although the little beggar did not have frostbite, it was still due to the cold that caused his fever. Doing this would definitely be effective. Ling Tian was confident.
Sure enough, the little beggar's throat let out an undetectable moan, and he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Ling Tian, he was obviously stunned for a moment. In this kind of situation, in this kind of place, he would never have dreamed that there would be a little boy who was about the same age as him! For a moment, he felt like he was dreaming.
Seeing that he had woken up, Ling Tian let out a long sigh of relief and asked, "You're awake? How do you feel? "
The little beggar was stunned and asked, "Did you save me?" After saying this, he found that he was still next to the haystack he had crawled into. His eyes suddenly sharpened, full of vigilance. "Who are you? Why are you here? "
Ling Tian smiled gently, "I followed you all the way from the city. You can really run." His tone was light, but it was full of the aura of a superior!
The little beggar was even more panicked. He shook his dizzy head and asked with difficulty, "You've been following me? What do you want? "
Ling Tian snorted, and the tip of his foot pushed the withered grass on the ground. "If I didn't follow you, then at this moment, you would be sick and cold. I'm afraid you would have died."
The little beggar was silent. With his intelligence, of course, he understood that if it wasn't for this little boy who was about the same age as him, he would have died. He wanted to rest for a while and then continue on his way. He didn't expect that he would be too sleepy and hungry, so he fainted.
Ling Tian didn't talk to him, and asked directly, "Why did the people who chased you chase you? What did you do? "
When he heard Ling Tian's question, the little beggar's eyes emitted a deep hatred, and his dizzy head seemed to sober up a little. "Absolutely irreconcilable hatred!" He gritted his teeth and said this sentence. He didn't want to answer, but in his heart, he faintly felt that the boy in front of him could help him. He had nothing now, and was still being chased. If there was no one to help him, even if he could escape for a day or two, he would be caught and executed one day. Not to mention the matter of revenge. This boy in front of him, was perhaps his only chance! His body couldn't hold on for much longer.
Ling Tian made an 'oh' sound, and took out three white steamed buns from his bosom. "I see that you are hungry. Eat this first, and then tell me about your situation."
The little beggar's eyes lit up, greedily looking at the steamed buns in Ling Tian's hands. His throat made a gulping sound, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He practically snatched the steamed buns, and wolfed them down ….
From the little beggar's intermittent narration, Ling Tian knew that the little beggar in front of him was called Du Fei. He was the son of a merchant in the capital called Du Yuan. His family opened two pawnshops, and his life could be considered passable. Last month, someone went to the Du family's pawnshop to pawn a jewel. It was a Ten Thousand Diamond Pearl Orchid, made entirely out of white jade, and adorned with all kinds of precious stones. It was priceless.
Based on the Du family's financial resources, they wouldn't be able to buy such a thing. It was just that the owner was a descendant of a fallen noble family in the capital. Everything valuable in the family had already been pawned. All that was left was the family heirloom, the Ten Thousand Diamond Pearl Orchid. Furthermore, this family also knew that the Du family wouldn't be able to buy such a treasure, and proposed to pawn it for ten thousand taels of silver! The time limit was half a year, and twelve thousand taels of silver would be used to redeem it.
Because before this, the family's items were all pawned in the Du family's pawnshop, Du Yuan also accepted it out of consideration. Who knew that when he accepted it, he was seen by a small leader of the Snow Flower Hall. When this small leader went back and said this, the head of the Snow Flower Hall, Bai Chao Ran, was instantly filled with greed. He sent people to the Du family, and actually wanted to buy the Ten Thousand Diamond Pearl Orchid for five thousand taels of silver. Du Yuan naturally wasn't willing. In reality, the descendant of that fallen noble had only used the Ten Thousand Diamond Pearl Orchid as collateral to borrow Du Yuan's money. Both families were well aware of this. Furthermore, the true value of the Ten Thousand Diamond Pearl Orchid wasn't just five thousand taels of silver. Even fifty thousand taels of silver wouldn't be able to buy it.
Du Yuan immediately refused! Who would have thought that this refusal would bring about the destruction of his entire family! The entire Du family of more than a hundred people were all killed in one night! The whereabouts of the Ten Thousand Diamond Pearl Orchid was unknown. Du Fei was extremely lucky that night. Relying on his thin and weak body, he was a small target, and barely managed to escape with his life. However, the Snow Flower Hall was relentless in their pursuit, and was determined to eliminate the root of the problem. Today, Du Fei had not eaten a single bite of food for three days!
For nearly half a month, Du Fei had been hiding from place to place, suffering greatly, and escaping from death several times.
After Du Fei finished his story, his hopeful eyes stared at Ling Tian's face. From the way Ling Tian dressed, he could tell that he was not an ordinary person. As long as he returned home and mentioned the Ten Thousand Diamond Pearl Orchid, causing the greed of his family, Du Fei could completely use the Ten Thousand Diamond Pearl Orchid as bait, and achieve his goal of killing with a borrowed knife!
Ling Tian smiled, "What do you want to do?"
Du Fei's heart warmed, and he puffed out his chest, "As long as young master can help me take revenge, I am willing to offer the Ten Thousand Diamond Pearl Orchid to young master!"
Ling Tian sneered, "I destroyed the Snow Flower Hall, so the Ten Thousand Diamond Pearl Orchid is mine. Do I still need you to offer it? As a man, facing the enemy who destroyed your family, do you only have this much ambition? "
