"Wu Ying."

Li Yi frowned slightly as he watched the young man walk out of the forest with his hands behind his back, blocking his only way home.

Although he was not familiar with the person in front of him, he was definitely no stranger.

On the first day when Liu Ruyi caught him up the mountain, it was this person and his second aunt who broke in. The other party seemed to have been thinking about Ruyi for a long time. Li Yi and him only met a few times in the stockade. Wu Ying's attitude towards him , is not considered friendly.

Wu Ying is the nephew of the second aunt Wu's family. Although his surname is not Liu, he often comes to the village and is very familiar with the Liu family members.

Meeting him here was beyond Li Yi's expectations, and what he said just now seemed to have something in it, and Li Yi heard a trace of malice in his tone.

This malice doesn't just mean being unfriendly.

"What do you mean?" Li Yi looked at him and asked with a frown.

"What do you mean, you'll know in a while." With a cold smile on Wu Ying's face, he walked towards this side with big strides.

Seeing his unfriendly appearance, Li Yi's face changed slightly.

A long time ago, Ruyi reminded him to be careful about Wu Ying.

The other party worshiped a powerful person in the martial arts as his teacher in the early years, and his martial arts skills should not be underestimated. Li Yi knew in his heart that even if he had been trained by Ruyi himself for so long, he was no longer the frail scholar he was back then, and he was far from Wu Ying. opponent.

Subconsciously, he pulled out the waist knife that he carried with him. Although he knew that he couldn't beat him with a weapon, it was still better than bare hands.

There was a sneer at the corner of Wu Ying's mouth, and Li Yi raised his knife to chop it off. His body just swayed slightly, and he easily avoided it. The next moment, his figure disappeared in front of Li Yi's eyes.

Li Yi instinctively sensed the danger, but before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and then his eyes went dark...

"Shit!" The last consciousness was regretting why I had to go alone and didn't take Lao Fang with me...

"Master County Lieutenant..., bah!"

Wu Ying snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face, and spat hard on the ground.

He leaned over and carried Li Yi on his shoulders, picked up the waist knife that fell on the ground, turned around and walked towards the dense forest behind him, gradually disappearing on the path.

In Liuye Village, the little maid was sitting in the courtyard, still feeling sad for the lost rabbit, and before she knew it, the sky had already darkened.

When he raised his head, he could already see the moon, Xiaohuan looked in the direction of the door, and murmured: "Why hasn't my uncle come back?"

According to the situation in the past, my uncle should have arrived home more than an hour ago

Could it be that there is something delayed in the Yamen

The little maid was distracted by this incident. At this time, Liu Ruyi came out of the courtyard and asked with some doubts: "Xiaohuan, has my uncle not come back yet?"

"No." The little maid shook her head, stood up and said, "I'll ask Uncle Fang."

Uncle Fang has always been with Uncle Fang. If Uncle Fang hasn't come back, it must be that Uncle Fang has something to do.

In the past, he would occasionally sleep in the shop and not come back, but now the little maid is no longer as cranky as before.

Liu Ruyi nodded, watching Xiaohuan walk out of the house without thinking much.

Xiaohuan came back not long after she went out, and Lao Fang came back with her.

"What, my uncle hasn't come back yet?" Lao Fang looked at Sister Ruyi with doubts on his face.

The mutton at home was gone. Before he came back today, he went to the butcher shop to buy some mutton, and was going to eat hot pot at night. He left for at most half an hour. After returning to the county government office, the guard told him that my uncle had already gone back. Lao Fang had no choice but to go back to the village by himself.

He had preconceived ideas, and after he came back, he didn't come to look again. Just now the stove was set up and the charcoal fire was burning. Old Fang was about to sharpen his chopsticks and scrambled for the mutton. Xiaohuan came to the house to ask about his uncle. Before returning home, Lao Fang put down his chopsticks and hurried over.

"Could it be in Ruyifang?" Liu Ruyi looked at him and asked.

This is also a possibility, if he didn't go back to the village, most of them would have slept in Ruyifang.

Lao Fang shook his head, and said in a firm tone: "Impossible, I came back with the girls in the shop, my uncle has not been to the shop today, and the guy at the car dealership also said that he sent my uncle to the foot of the mountain , I saw him go up the mountain with my own eyes."

"Why don't I go to Han Bo's place to have a look, my uncle often went to Han Bo's house a few days ago." When the little maid spoke again, there was already a look of anxiety on her pretty face.

"I'll go!" Old Fang turned his head and walked out of the yard when he heard this.

The eldest lady asked him to protect the young lady. Now that there is no news about the young lady, Lao Fang is very anxious. If something happens to the young lady, not to mention the embarrassment to see the young lady, the old Fang himself will not be able to pass this test.

What's more, my uncle's disappearance this time is completely different from the last time.

The last time my uncle disappeared, Lao Fang blamed himself in his heart, but it was not that serious. After all, if the uncle ran away by himself, he was just not doing his best to keep an eye on him.

And my uncle's disappearance this time is definitely not a possibility.

"Ah, my uncle, my uncle hasn't been here for the past few days. What's the matter, my uncle is gone?" Looking at the anxious old Fang, Han Bo asked suspiciously.

The old Fang trembled when he heard this, and the expression on his face became even more anxious. After gritting his teeth, he knocked on the door of another house again.

"What, uncle? I didn't see it."

"How could my uncle be here..."

"I didn't see it, what's the matter, uncle?"

He knocked on the doors of almost all the houses in the village, and upon hearing the replies from these people, Lao Fang's face gradually turned pale.

At the same time, the eyelashes of the young man lying in the corner of a shack in a remote mountain forest trembled slightly.

neck pain.

This is his first feeling.

It was only seen in film and television works before, those masters only need to slash the back of a person's head, and the other party will simply faint, but this time I have experienced it personally.

It turned out to be really dizzy.

In addition to the neck pain, he also felt a little dizzy. He raised his head and began to look around.

This is a semi-enclosed space, which is roughly equivalent to a shack. It is simply built with some wood. There is nothing in the shed, and the outside is covered with hay. It is extremely simple.

The position he was in at the moment was in the corner of the shack, his hands and feet could move freely, he was not tied up with a rope, and the waist knife was casually thrown beside him, it seemed that Wu Ying was quite at ease with him.

But thinking about it, Li Yi understood the gap between the two through the little confrontation just now.

Although there is no clear understanding of how powerful his martial arts are, one thing is unquestionable, even if he holds a knife, he can only be killed in seconds.

Now is not the time to think about how high Wu Ying's martial arts are, how to find a way to escape is the top priority.

The bad guys he encounters on weekdays are always reasonable, and Li Yi is also very helpless when he encounters this kind of guy who just doesn't agree with each other.

Except for a little pain in the back of the neck and some discomfort in the abdomen, there is no discomfort in other parts of the body.

He tried to stand up from the ground first, and at this moment, a figure walked in from outside.

"It's quicker than I expected to wake up so soon." Wu Ying looked at him coldly and said mockingly.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want." Li Yi patted the dust off his body, and replied lightly.

"I thought Ruyi chose a trash, but I didn't expect that you really have a bit of courage." Wu Ying looked at him and frowned, still in a mocking tone.

He thought that when the scholar woke up, he would tearfully beg for his life, but he never thought that he would have such an attitude.

He was just a frail scholar, where did he get the confidence

Without answering Li Yi's words, he looked at him and said, "You know, in fact, I have made up my mind to marry Ruyi as my wife since I was very young."

Speaking of which. His eyes suddenly became vicious, "That night, if Ruyi hadn't stopped me, I would really have killed you."

Li Yi finished patting the dust on his clothes, tightened his sleeves, and said lightly, "And then?"

Is that why he tied him up

Since he didn't hide his true colors in the slightest, it seemed that he had no intention of keeping his mouth alive.

Some people in this world are really fucking lawless psychopaths!

"Of course, she is no longer good enough for me." Wu Ying looked disgusted, looked at Li Yi again, and said, "Hand over the formula of Ruyilu and spirits, and I will spare you."

Li Yi twitched the corners of his mouth. This kind of words can deceive others, but he can't fool him. According to the routine in TV dramas, whenever a villain says such a thing, he must think in his heart that he will kill him immediately after he gets the secret.

"It turned out to be just for the formula of Ruyilu and spirits. You said it earlier, why bother." He waved his hand and said, "Ruyilu and spirits are actually the same thing. The key lies in how to purify the alcohol. The equipment is a bit complicated, you will not understand me when I say that, how about this, I will wait for you here, you go back and get a pen and paper, and I will draw for you."

Wu Ying sneered and said, "You think I'm stupid, if I leave, will I still see you when I come back?"

"This is your fault!" Li Yi showed shame and annoyance on his face, as if he had been greatly insulted, he walked up to Wu Ying, pointed to his nose and said: "Scholars don't lie, I said here Waiting for you, waiting here for you."

hum!

Before he finished speaking, there was a soft sound from his sleeve, and a black spot of light quickly magnified in Wu Ying's eyes.

"Thank you Han Bo."

Li Yi thought to himself.
