"Wu Ying."
Li Yi frowned when he saw the young man walking out of the woods with his hands behind his back and blocking his way home.
Although he was not familiar with the person in front of him, he was definitely not a stranger.
On the first day when he was caught by Liu Ruyi, it was this person who broke into the house with his second aunt. It seemed that he had been thinking about Ruyi for a long time. Li Yi had only met him a few times in the stockade village. Wu Ying's attitude towards him was not friendly.
Wu Ying was the nephew of his second aunt. Although his surname was not Liu, he often came to the stockade village and was very familiar with the people of the Liu Family. He could be regarded as half a member of the Willow Village.
Meeting him here was beyond Li Yi's expectation. What he said just now seemed to have a hidden meaning. Li Yi heard a trace of malice from his tone.
This malice was no longer just unfriendly.
"What do you mean?" Li Yi looked at him and asked with a frown.
"You will know what I mean in a moment." Wu Ying showed a cold smile and strode towards him.
Seeing that he came with bad intentions, Li Yi's face changed slightly.
Ruyi had warned him a long time ago to be careful of Wu Ying.
Wu Ying had been apprenticed to a powerful figure in the martial arts world and his martial arts skills could not be underestimated. Li Yi knew that even though he had been trained by Ruyi for a long time and was no longer a weak scholar, he was still far from being Wu Ying's opponent.
He subconsciously drew out the waist knife that he carried with him. Although he knew that he could not beat him with a weapon, it was better than fighting with his bare hands.
Wu Ying's lips curled into a cold smile. Li Yi raised his saber and slashed at him. Wu Ying's body swayed slightly and he easily dodged the attack. In the next moment, his figure disappeared before Li Yi's eyes.
Li Yi instinctively felt danger, but before he could react, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck and then he felt everything go black …
"Shit!" The last thing he could think of was that he regretted leaving alone without Fang …
"Lord County Lieutenant … Pooh!"
Wu Ying snorted coldly. A look of disdain appeared on his face as he spat on the ground.
He bent over and put Li Yi on his shoulder. He picked up the saber that had fallen to the ground, turned around and walked into the dense forest behind him, gradually disappearing on the small path.
…
…
In the Willow Leaf Village, the little maid was sitting in the yard, still sad about the lost rabbit. Unknowingly, the sky had darkened.
When she raised her head, she could already see the moon. Xiao Huan looked at the direction of the door and muttered, "Why is Son-in-law not back yet?"
According to the usual situation, the son-in-law should have reached home more than two hours ago, right?
Could it be that there was a delay in the yamen?
The little servant girl was distracted by this matter. At this time, Liu Ruyi walked out from the courtyard and asked in puzzlement, "Xiao Huan, is Son-in-law not back yet?"
"No." The servant girl shook her head, stood up and said, "I'll go ask Uncle Fang."
Son-in-law had always been with Uncle Fang. If Uncle Fang did not come back, it should be that Son-in-law was busy with something.
In the past, he would occasionally sleep in the shop and not come back. Now, the little servant girl would not let her imagination run wild like before.
Liu Ruyi nodded and watched Xiao Huan walk out of the house. She did not think much.
Xiao Huan went out for a while and came back with Fang.
"What, Son-in-law is not back yet?" Fang looked at his Sister Ruyi with a face full of puzzlement.
The mutton at home was gone. Before he came back today, he went to the butcher's shop to buy some mutton for dinner. He left for at most an hour. When he returned to the yamen, the bailiff told him that Son-in-law had already gone back. Fang had to go back to the stockade by himself.
After returning, he did not come back to take a look. Just now, the stove at home had been set up and the charcoal was burning brightly. Fang was about to sharpen his chopsticks to eat the mutton when Xiao Huan came to ask about Son-in-law. When he heard that Son-in-law had not returned, Fang put down his chopsticks and hurried over.
"Could he be at Ruyi Workshop?" Liu Ruyi looked at him and asked.
This was also a possibility. If he did not return to the stockade, he would most likely be sleeping at Ruyi Workshop.
Fang shook his head and said firmly, "That's impossible. I came back with the girls in the shop. Son-in-law did not go to the shop today. The worker at the cart shop also said that he saw Son-in-law go up the mountain with his own eyes."
"How about I go to Uncle Han's place? Son-in-law often goes to Uncle Han's house recently." When the young maidservant spoke again, her pretty face was already filled with anxiety.
"I'll go!" Hearing this, Fang turned and went out of the courtyard.
Eldest Miss had asked him to protect Son-in-law. Now that there was no news of Son-in-law, Fang was also extremely anxious. If something happened to Son-in-law, not only would he be ashamed to see Eldest Miss, but Fang would also feel guilty.
Moreover, Son-in-law's disappearance this time was completely different from the last time.
Last time, when Son-in-law disappeared, Fang blamed himself, but it was not that serious. After all, if Son-in-law ran away on his own, it was just that he did not keep an eye on him.
But this time, Son-in-law's disappearance was definitely not a possibility.
"Ah, Son-in-law, Son-in-law has not been here for a few days. What's wrong, Son-in-law has disappeared? "Uncle Han asked in confusion when he saw Fang's anxious face.
Hearing this, Fang's body trembled, and the expression on his face became even more anxious. After gritting his teeth, he knocked on the door of another house.
"What, Son-in-law? I don't see him. "
"How could Son-in-law be here …"
"I don't see him. What happened to Son-in-law?"
…
…
After knocking on almost all the doors in the stockade, hearing these people's answers, Fang's face gradually turned pale.
At the same time, in a shack in a remote mountain forest, the eyelashes of a young man lying in the corner trembled slightly.
His neck hurts.
This was his first feeling.
In the past, he had only seen it in movies. Those experts only needed to chop the back of a person's head, and the person would immediately faint. This time, he had experienced it for himself.
So he could really faint.
Apart from the pain in his neck, he also felt a little dizzy. He raised his head and began to look around.
This was a semi-enclosed space, probably similar to a shack. It was built with some simple wood. There was nothing in the shack, and the outside was covered with hay. It was extremely simple.
At the moment, he was in a corner of the shack. His limbs could move freely, and he was not tied up with a rope. The waist knife was casually thrown beside him. It seemed that Wu Ying was quite confident in him.
But thinking about it, through the small confrontation just now, Li Yi understood the difference between the two of them.
Although he did not have a clear understanding of how powerful Wu Ying's martial arts were, there was one thing that was unquestionable. Even if he had a knife, he would only be killed in a second.
Now was not the time to think about how powerful Wu Ying's martial arts were. Thinking of a way to escape was the most important thing.
Usually, the bad guys that he met would at least be reasonable. Encountering this kind of guy who would fight at the slightest disagreement, Li Yi was also very helpless.
Other than a little pain in the back of his neck and some discomfort in his abdomen, the other parts of his body did not feel any discomfort.
He tried to stand up from the ground. At this moment, a figure walked in from the outside.
"You woke up so quickly. Faster than I thought." Wu Ying looked at him coldly and said mockingly.
"Tell me, what do you want." Li Yi patted the dust off his body and replied indifferently.
"I thought that Ruyi chose a trash. I didn't expect that you really have some guts." Wu Ying looked at him and frowned. He still had a mocking tone.
He thought that after this scholar woke up, he would definitely cry and beg for his life. He did not expect that he would have such an attitude.
He was just a weak scholar. Where did his confidence come from?
He did not answer Li Yi's words. He looked at him and said, "Do you know, since I was very young, I had already decided to marry Ruyi."
Speaking of this. His eyes suddenly became sinister. "That night, if it wasn't for Ruyi stopping me, I would have really killed you."
Li Yi patted the dust off his clothes, tightened his sleeves, and said indifferently, "And then?"
Could it be that this was the reason why he kidnapped him?
Since he did not hide his true face at all, it seemed that he did not intend to leave him alive.
Some people in this world were really f * cking crazy!
"Of course, now she is no longer worthy of me." Wu Ying's expression was a little disgusted. He looked at Li Yi again and said, "Hand over the formula of Ruyi dew and liquor, and I will spare your life."
Li Yi twitched the corner of his mouth. This kind of words could deceive others, but not him. According to the plot of the TV series, whenever a bad guy said such words, he must be thinking of killing immediately after getting the secret.
"It turns out that it's just for the formula of Ruyi dew and liquor. You should have said it earlier. Why bother?" He waved his hand and said, "Ruyi dew and liquor are actually the same thing. The key is how to purify the alcohol. The equipment for purifying alcohol is a bit complicated. You can't understand it if I explain it like this. How about I wait for you here? You go back and get a pen and paper. I'll draw it for you."
Wu Ying sneered and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? If I leave, will I still see you when I come back?"
"That's your fault!" Li Yi's face showed shame and annoyance, as if he had been greatly insulted. He walked in front of Wu Ying, pointed at his nose and said, "A scholar doesn't lie. I said I'll wait for you here, so I'll wait for you here."
Buzz!
Before his voice died away, a light sound came from his sleeve. A black light spot quickly enlarged in Wu Ying's eyes.
"Thank you, Uncle Han."
Li Yi thought to himself.
