Following along, Su Li stood on the dark roofs along the street, watching Mei Ruohan buy a large amount of food and medicinal materials from the street shops, her eyebrows not raised, and her eyes even more interested.
It seemed that Mei Ruohan had another encounter when she came to Qinghe City, and it was an encounter that she couldn't tell anyone. Otherwise, given her temperament, she would not say a word to her and just ask for help.
After struggling to pack everything, Mei Ruohan put away the remaining silver coins. She seemed to have remembered something, and couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on her face.
After leaving the city gate, she ignored the danger at night and took some remote and difficult roads. After walking for half an hour, Su Li finally saw a ruined temple hidden in the forest.
There were many beggars in the dilapidated temple. Mei Ruohan walked into the dilapidated temple with ease and gave most of the food to them. When he came to the innermost room, he put down the package on his back, breathed hard, and then whispered: "Brother Long, are you there? Ruohan came to see you. Brother Long..."
After Mei Ruohan shouted calmly three or four times, a person finally crawled out from behind the dilapidated Buddha statue, accompanied by the sound of chains and jingling sounds.
This man has unkempt hair and ragged clothes, but it can be vaguely seen that he is a young man in his early twenties, and he is quite tall. There is a chain on the shoulder bones of the young man. It seems that someone has forcibly knocked one end of the chain into the bone, making it difficult for him to exert strength and suffering from severe pain all day long.
Su Li saw him through the gap in the roof and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Bone-piercing torture is a torture that only serious criminals who have committed serious crimes are subjected to. Looking at the rusty chains on this man's shoulders and no longer bleeding, it is enough to infer that he has been chained for at least a year.
"You haven't died after a year, and this aura is quite strong. Another person who practices Xuan Gong." Su Li's eyes were full of interest and he continued to read.
When the young man saw Mei Ruohan coming, his eyes softened for a moment, but before Mei Ruohan noticed it, he returned to coldness, "What are you doing here? Have you forgotten what I said last time? I told you to get out... did you hear that?!"
At the end of the words, the young man shouted almost with all his strength, and the chains all over his body jingled.
Mei Ruohan's delicate body trembled, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes. She had been pampered since she was a child. She had never been scolded like this before. However, she did not leave. Instead, she shed tears and began to pick up the things in the package she carried on her back. She muttered:
"This is an analgesic herb. The doctor said that crushing it has miraculous effects."
"This is dry food, you have to hide it well. Don't let other beggars take it away."
"I also brought you clothes, water and a dry cloth. Don't forget to wipe yourself..."
The young man looked at Mei Ruohan blankly, his face trembling. Finally, he lay down on the ground and said calmly: "It's up to you. You can bring someone over next time. Don't walk alone at night."
Mei Ruohan's movement to pack things stagnated, and then moved faster. She lowered her head, and no one saw her bright eyes, which had never been brighter in the past seventeen years.
After Mei Ruohan hid the food for the young man, she chatted with the young man for a while. 90% of the time, Mei Ruohan was telling interesting things about Qinghe City alone. The young man just hummed from time to time, such a strange conversation. , but Mei Ruohan was able to chat for a full hour.
It was late at night before Mei Ruohan returned to Qinghe City alone. She didn’t know who gave her the courage to walk at night. The outside of Qinghe City was not a peaceful area. Thanks to her good luck in the past two months, she had not been able to walk alone. No danger.
After Mei Ruohan left, the young man was the only one left in the house again. The forced coldness in the young man's eyes faded away, leaving only gentleness. He stared blankly at the place where Mei Ruohan was sitting, and couldn't help but touch it. The piece of hay was still there. A little warm.
He had lost all hope, and even that day he could not escape the pursuit of officers and soldiers and died in the forest. But he didn't expect to meet her, and he didn't expect that her first reaction when seeing him was not fear, but protection...
Although she had such a weak body, she carried him, a man weighing more than 100 kilograms, from the wilderness outside the city to this ruined temple. In order for him to survive here, she even gave up everything she had on her body. All valuable things were given to the beggars.
The young man touched the rusty chain feebly, and bitterness rose in his mouth. Finally he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Why should you pay the wrong amount to a dying person like me..."
"If you think so, she really made the wrong payment!"
Su Li fell from the roof. The young man's body tensed up instantly, and he arched his back like a cheetah about to attack. His eyes were no longer gentle, but exuded the tragic aura of a lone wolf fleeing into despair.
He was careless!
The young man looked at the girl in black with a black veil who suddenly appeared in front of him. He didn't even know when this girl arrived.
Su Li looked at the young man with interest, nodded slightly and said: "You are very good. Although you know you are not my opponent, you can still ignite your fighting spirit. But that Mei Ruohan can't..."
"What are you going to do?!" The chained young man looked cold, "Don't touch her! Otherwise, I won't let you leave safely even if I try my best."
Su Li picked her slender fingers and said with a slow smile: "Hey! Are you feeling sorry for her now? Why did you pull her so hard before? Do you really think that if you are about to die, you can hurt others unscrupulously?"
The chained young man lost his composure, remained silent for a moment, and asked aloud: "Who are you to her?"
Su Li curled her lips and sat down at Mei Ruohan's seat. She was not afraid of getting her expensive black gauze clothes dirty. She laughed softly and said, "You are very smart, at least smarter than I thought. Could it be that you are a man in love?" , will my IQ automatically decrease?"
The chained young man's face darkened. When did he fall in love? Besides... did he show it so obviously
"Who are you?"
The young man in chains touched his shoulder blades out of habit, but the pain started to hurt again...
"I'm not a big shot." Su Li took the medicine bag Mei Ruohan had packed next to her and threw it over, "I'm just Mei Ruohan's boss."
"Boss?" The chained young man looked slightly surprised, "Isn't she a student of Qinghe Girls' School? How can she have a boss?"
"That's really unlucky."
Su Li took out the contract and waved it in front of the chained youth, "She just signed it today. Otherwise, where do you think she got the money to buy the medicine?"
Although Su Li put away the contract very quickly, the young man still saw Mei Ruohan's handprints and handwriting underneath the contract. His face suddenly turned ugly. Mei Ruohan couldn't resist the contract that the government took effect. How could a weak woman resist
Just for a hundred taels to treat his injuries, Mei Ruohan sold herself? !
The chained young man looked at Su Li's black gauze dress and couldn't help but trembled his lips, "What kind of store do you... open?"
"What kind of store do you think it is?"
Su Li cooperated very well and let out a charming laugh, which made the chained young man's face turn pale instantly.
"Take the medicine back!" The chained young man shook the medicine bag fiercely, stared at Su Li with his eyes, and suddenly rushed over as fast as he could, "She can't go to a place like a brothel, give me the contract !”
Su Li stood up and took a few steps back, dodging lightly. The chained young man immediately jumped into the air. The chain hit the ground with a clanking sound, making the young man grimace in pain.
He took a deep, trembling breath, slowly got up and knelt on the ground. Just as he was about to lower his head, his eyebrows were touched by cold fingertips, which stopped him from continuing to fall.
He raised his head and met a pair of eyes as deep as the sea, "Don't say 'please me'. I don't like to hear this kind of words the most, because it is of no use at all. When you are working hard for me, you can't." Always remember it.”
The chained young man was stunned, "Working for you?"
Su Li poked the hard chain, and the pain made the young man frown, "Do you want to carry this thing with you until you die? And..."
Su Li stood up, crossed her arms, and said angrily: "When did I say that I opened a brothel?"
The chained young man was completely stunned. It took him a long time to react, and his eyes were filled with anger. After such a long conversation, the woman in front of him was actually playing tricks? !
"It's not like I'm kidding you."
Su Li seemed to have seen through the chained youth and said calmly: "Mei Ruohan has become my person. Since she is interested in you, I naturally want to test you. Now the result is that I can barely pass the test."
The chained young man snorted coldly and retorted: "She is no one's accessory!"
Su Li smiled immediately after hearing this, "Whether you are an accessory or not is not up to you. Because you will soon become my accessory."
"Impossible!" The chained young man grinned and sneered, "I have lost a lot, and now I have to lose even my life, but you want to deprive me of my last freedom? If it weren't for my lack of ability, I would not let her be so cruel to you. Work in human hands.”
"Am I cruel?"
Su Li tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and then chuckled: "Yes, I am very cruel, no matter in the past life or this life. But I will find a way to make you come with me willingly, do you believe it?"
"Oh?" The chained young man struggled to stand up, as if to maintain his last bit of dignity, "Then I want to see what other methods you have."
"You seem to have forgotten what I said, or didn't you hear it at all?"
Su Li walked up to the young man, poked the chain with her fingertips, and said with an indifferent expression, "Let me tell you one last time, do you want to die in vain with this thing? Or... do you not want to spend your whole life with Mei Ruohan at all? "
The young man's expression changed dramatically, and finally he could no longer maintain his fragile dignity. If he could talk to her openly and openly... without making her sad, this dignity seemed to be nothing.
"If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't show up tonight." At this time, Su Li clapped her hands and turned to leave, but an urgent word came from behind her, "Wait a minute!"
Su Li turned around lightly, and the chained youth looked troubled, but finally said, "Do you really have a way to help me?"
"You don't believe it?" Su Li's eyes suddenly lit up with black flames, "Then I'll prove it to you now!"
"Pfft! Click!"
Su Li's eyes were slightly cold, and he stretched out his bare hands to grab and press. The chain hanging on the young man's chest was immediately pulled by a huge force, stretched straight, and then was pulled out from the bone!
The young man felt severe pain in his shoulders, and immediately his vision went black. He fainted from the pain and fell unconscious. Su Li quickly leaned down to stop the young man's bleeding, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, making a perfect arc.
"Can't you bear this little pain? It seems your will is much weaker than I thought."
…
This is an endless dark space. The words "Brother Long" came from time to time in the ears of the chained young man. He didn't know where he was, so he could only keep running. Finally... he saw a glimmer of light and opened his eyes. .
Looking at the smooth ceiling, the chained young man looked confused, and his mind started to work, "Where am I? By the way... It's in the ruined temple. That woman actually pulled out my chains. Am I dead?"
The chained young man slowly turned his gaze and saw Mei Ruohan, who was crying and laughing with a full face. His scattered eyes finally came into focus.
Am I not dead? And... He reached out and touched his shoulder. Is the chain really gone? !
That was not a dream!
"Ruohan..."
The hoarse voice startled the chained young man himself. How long had he slept
"Finally woke up?"
The girl in white suddenly appeared in front of the window. Even though she had changed her clothes, the chained young man still recognized her at a glance. She was the devil-like woman who tormented him from the inside out.
"You have become my accessory, now it's time to tell me and Mei Ruohan your name, right?"
