Looking at the boy from the Li family who was staring at him with a blank expression, the old man took a few steps back and became even more vigilant.
He had seen this expression on Widow Liu's face before. He recalled that Widow Liu at the east end of the village had the same expression a few days ago. When she woke up, she didn't know who she was. She sat in the courtyard all day and giggled foolishly. Once someone approached her, she would immediately scream and scratch and bite them …
Later, the officials came and said that Widow Liu had lost her mind. They took an iron chain and locked her in the house. They also warned the villagers to take good care of her. If she ran out and hurt someone, they would have to bear the responsibility.
Li Yi saw the old man's expression change in a second. He turned his head and saw two strong men jogging toward him.
After a short moment of shock, Li Yi didn't hesitate to run!
What a joke, he had clearly heard the old man say that he had lost his mind or something … If he was caught, he might be treated as an evil spirit, tied to a pillar and burned with fire or something like that …
Li Yi, who had already died once, treasured his life more than anyone else. At this moment, he was undoubtedly running at the fastest speed he had ever run in his life.
Behind him, the old man and the two strong men were dumbfounded as they watched Li Yi run away. They were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
No one had expected that the boy from the Li family, who was so weak that he had to rest for a long time after taking two steps, could actually run so fast!
"It seems that a person who has lost his mind really can't be judged by common sense …" The old man stroked his long beard and couldn't help but sigh.
…
…
Worried that he would be caught by the two strong men and burned to death as a lunatic, Li Yi ran all the way until he couldn't see the village anymore. When there was no one chasing after him at the end of his sight, he sat on the ground.
Panting heavily, he felt as if his entire body was about to collapse.
After running at full speed for so long, he had almost exhausted all his strength. If the two strong men were to catch up to him now, Li Yi wouldn't even have the strength to stand up and escape.
There was no need to confirm anything. Li Yi was almost certain that he had caught up with the wave of transmigration.
Although he didn't know what year and place he was in, it was better than being burned to death under the bookshelf. At least he was still alive.
After sitting on the ground and recovering a little of his physical strength, Li Yi was worried again.
There was no way he could go back to that house. There were only four walls, a table, a bed, and nothing to eat. Perhaps when he returned, the whole village would welcome him at the entrance of the village with torches. Then he could die a glorious death.
The only difference was where he would be burned.
But if he did not go back, where would he sleep at night?
Li Yi, who had just arrived in this world, had to first solve the problem of survival.
Rumble …
At this moment, Li Yi suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shake.
"What's wrong? An earthquake?"
Li Yi's heart was filled with grief. He was almost burned to death as soon as he arrived, and now he encountered an earthquake. What kind of sin did he commit in his previous life?
But very soon, Li Yi discovered that it was not an earthquake.
At the end of his field of vision, a torrent of smoke and dust was rolling towards him. Under Li Yi's horrified gaze, it stopped a few steps in front of him.
"Cough! Cough! "
Li Yi was caught off guard. He breathed in a mouthful of PM2.5 and choked to the point that tears flowed out.
With great difficulty, he regained his senses. Just as he was about to scold someone for being so uncultured, he raised his head and couldn't help but be startled.
On a tall horse, a beautiful woman dressed in white was looking down at him.
Her brows, which were like mountains in the distance, were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something. Looking at that incomparably delicate face, Li Yi felt his throat go dry. Before he could speak, he saw that the woman nodded slightly, a satisfied expression on her face. She glanced at him indifferently and waved her hand. "Tie him up!"
Under Li Yi's dazed gaze, the ferocious bandits behind the woman dismounted and surged forward …
…
…
"Hehe, it's a scholar …"
"He's quite handsome, worthy of our master!"
"If I had to say, Second Miss has good taste …"
"All of you, shut up!"
…
…
Li Yi's hands were tied behind his back as he lay on the horse's back. In his previous life, he had gotten dizzy from public transportation, so he clearly hadn't adapted to this era's transportation. He was dizzy from the swaying along the way, and his consciousness gradually blurred. From time to time, he could hear a man's rough laughter. His voice sounded like a broken gong, and then he faintly heard a shout. Those voices were gone, and Li Yi completely lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, the first thing he saw was a pink gauze curtain. Li Yi got up from the bed with a grunt and looked around vigilantly.
A carved bed frame, a quilt that emitted a faint fragrance, and a pink gauze curtain filled with the heart of a girl, there were some simple wooden furniture, tables, chairs, and cabinets …
Bandits!
Some remnant fragments in his mind caused Li Yi's expression to change. He turned his head to look around, and only when he found that there was no one else in the room did he feel slightly relieved.
Could it be that he was dreaming?
Li Yi suddenly thought that he was lucky.
In the next moment, Li Yi realized that he was dreaming if he had such a thought …
Because — — it hurt!
Li Yi's expression was twisted as he clutched his lower abdomen. The burning pain coming from under his clothes made him involuntarily suck in air. Li Yi cursed in his heart. Those boorish fellows, he didn't even need to think to know that this was definitely caused by lying on the horse's back!
It was unknown who had invented this kind of clothing. There were layers upon layers, and it took Li Yi a long time to undo them. When he looked down, there was indeed a red patch above his lower abdomen.
At this time, Li Yi didn't have the mood to scold those bandits. He had to face his current situation.
It seemed that he had been captured by those bandits somewhere. When he was lying on the horse's back, he faintly heard those people saying words like "chief" and "marriage" …
After Li Yi's imagination ran wild, the expression on his face suddenly became very frightened.
Marriage!
When he looked down again, Li Yi realized that he was no longer wearing the clothes he had worn in the morning. He didn't know when he had changed into a bright red robe, and there was a bright red flower in front of his chest. He looked very festive …
If he counted the one on his head with … pheasant feathers? Peacock feathers? Anyway, he didn't know what kind of feathers it was, but it was definitely the style of a groom in an ancient TV drama!
In his remaining consciousness, it seemed that he had been supported by someone somewhere, and had knelt and kowtowed …
After those fragmented images flashed in his mind, Li Yi's face turned deathly pale.
He had actually been taken back to be the wife of the chief?
No, it was the husband of the chief!
