Xia Yu had sensed that something was wrong, and immediately wanted to call Xiao Tang, because she had just left and he might need to give her first aid. But the shorter man came over first and snatched the phone from Xia Yu's hand.
"Miss Xia!"
Xia Yu's eyes turned cold, "Where did you send him?" But in his heart, he thought it was Li Wen's person, and couldn't help scolding him again in his heart.
"Miss Xia is smart, come with us." Since she guessed it, she saved them the trouble of talking nonsense.
"I can go with you, but at least let me say hello to my colleagues."
"You don't have to worry about this. Someone will notify you." The short man glanced at the tall man behind him. Xia Yu then saw about three or four young men wearing peaked caps or masks around him. Xiao Tang.
As soon as she saw this situation, Xia Yu immediately felt something was wrong. She felt that someone did not look like Li Wen, so she turned around and glanced at the short man, "Don't touch my colleague!"
"How could it be possible? Who does Miss Xia think we are? We are legal citizens!"
After he finished speaking, the tall man next to him laughed first, his mouth full of yellow teeth, "Yes, we are legal citizens!"
Why is this line so familiar
She glanced at the crowd around her. It was bustling with people coming and going, but she had noticed that there were still many people hiding around. It seemed that the other party was very powerful.
So who is the other person? For what purpose
"Where are we going now?" Xia Yu didn't bother to guess anymore as she was in the other party's hands.
The two people on the other side looked at each other and smiled, and the taller one said sarcastically, "Okay, I don't see how brave these girls are!"
The short man then answered, "Let's go then, the car is parked in the basement!"
So the tall man led the way, the short man watched from behind, and Xia Yu walked in the middle. There should be people hiding in the crowd who were ready to cause trouble at any time.
The two men on the left and right had already taken out masks and put them on. Then they glanced at Xia Yu and signaled her to enter the elevator.
Xia Yu walked in obediently, and the two men followed her. There were two other people carrying luggage in the elevator. The small space was a bit crowded, but Xia Yu was stopped in the middle by two men, one on the left and one on the right. She didn't plan to run, and she knew she couldn't. She just looked up at the camera mounted on the upper right side of the elevator. Unexpectedly, a hand immediately grabbed her from behind, and someone whispered in her ear to warn her, "Better stay calm!" "
Xia Yu snorted coldly and ignored it.
The other two guests in the elevator went out when they reached the first floor below. The elevator continued down to the two floors of the parking lot, and finally stopped on the second floor below. When the door opened, a cold breath hit them. Pushed Xia Yu out with one hand: "Get out!"
The tall man continued to lead the way and led Xia Yu to a brown business car parked in the corner. The short man went over and opened the back seat door.
"go in!"
"It's okay to get in the car, but can I ask where you want to take me?" Xia Yu asked standing outside the car.
The short man snorted and smiled, "Awesome, you're here and you still know how to negotiate terms with us?"
"It's nonsense, you can't help it!" The tall man from behind said, pushing Xia Yu into the car, causing her ankle to sprain.
Xia Yu gasped in pain.
The two men outside had already followed and sat in the back seat. They closed the door and the windows were covered with dark light-blocking film. They were parked in a dark corner of the parking lot, so the car became even darker once the door was closed. Xia Yu She was blocked by the two men on the left and right, and one of them grabbed her.
"Sit tight and don't try any tricks!"
Xia Yu was speechless. She just couldn't stand up due to the pain in her left foot. She finally managed to sit upright in the leather chair when she suddenly heard a gloomy voice coming from the front seat.
"Be polite, Miss Xia is a guest!"
Only then did Xia Yu realize that there was another man sitting in the front passenger seat. He was wearing a cyan casual jacket and sunglasses. He seemed to be quite young, but he couldn't tell what he looked like just by looking at his back.
The two men, one on the left and one on the right, seemed to listen to him and responded respectfully: "I know, Brother Xing!"
Xia Yu tried hard to search for the word "Brother Xing" in her mind to see if she knew him in her not-so-long life history, but she could only give up after a few seconds. She couldn't remember it at all, and the man in the front seat didn't look back. , just glanced at Xia Yu from the rearview mirror, a pair of faint pupils were exposed in the mirror, and the other facial features were invisible. Xia Yu only saw his eyes through the rearview mirror, and her heart skipped a beat for no reason, while the man in the front seat But he raised his hand slightly and said, "Cover her!"
Xia Yu reacted in a moment, and there was a roar in her head. When she wanted to resist, it was already too late. The two people next to her tightly pressed her body and covered her eyes with cloth, and her eyes fell into a desperate darkness.
"What are you doing?"
"let me go!"
Xia Yu struggled to kick in the back seat, but her hands were shackled even tighter, her breath was turbid in her ears, and there was a cool smell in the air.
She doesn't like this, she's afraid of this!
The man in the front seat spoke quietly again: "Ms. Xia, you don't need to be so nervous. I advise you not to resist. Resistance is useless. You should know this better than me!"
These words made Xia Yu's scalp tighten.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
"Don't do anything, someone wants to treat you to a meal!"
Is there anyone who invites people to dinner like this
I don't know how long the car drove, but Xia Yu's consciousness gradually became hazy. The desperate darkness in front of her eyes was like the bloody mouth of a demon. Devouring her bit by bit as the car bumped and drove.
No one spoke on the road, but the sound of "crackling" ignition could be heard from time to time in the car, and the sound came from the front seat. Proof that the person in the front seat was smoking all the way.
The smell of smoke is very strong and choking.
It was pitch black in front of me, and the wheels were still rolling. I don't know where I will be taken. Unknown destiny, unknown road ahead.
The car drove for about half an hour and finally stopped.
"Brother Xing, what do you say?"
"Get her out of the car first!"
As the car door next to her opened, someone came in and pulled Xia Yu's arm.
"get off!"
Xia Yu was blindfolded and pulled out of the car. She stood there for a while, with the sound of wind and birdsong in her ears. There seemed to be a vague aroma of cigarette smoke in the air, but this cigarette aroma was different from the smell of cigarette smoke in the car just now. Different, light and pleasant smelling.
"You guys wait in the car, I'll take her there!" The voice was faint, and Xia Yu could tell that the voice should come from the man in the front seat just now. Then another palm came to her waist, and Xia Yu's back instantly stopped stiffly. After a pause, he seemed to feel Xia Yu's reaction and gently supported her on the lower back.
"Don't be nervous, don't take off the cloth, just follow me."
She also knew that she couldn't go anywhere, so she could only cooperate obediently.
The man took her for a while, but that journey was quite "rugged."
"Turn two meters ahead..."
"Take three more steps, lift your feet, and cross the threshold!"
"There are steps, you follow my instructions and then take steps, 1, 2, 3..."
Xia Yu felt that he was leading him through the alleys and around the courtyard. She didn't know where she was. She only felt that the scent of smoke in the air was getting stronger. She followed him for a few minutes and finally stopped. The man next to her seemed to be slightly withdrawn. Take a breath.
Xia Yu asked: "Are you here?"
He didn't say a word, and seemed to pause in place for a while before pushing open the heavy wooden door in front of him. With a "squeak", Xia Yu felt the wind blowing in front of her face, and the palm on her lower back pushed it gently. .
"Lift your legs and go in."
Xia Yu obeyed the instructions, raised her legs and stepped across the threshold. He led him into the house, and stood still. The man's calm voice came to her ears, "The people have brought it."
Xia Yu was not in a hurry to take down the cloth strip in front of her. It wasn't until the sound of the door closing behind her was heard, proving that the "Brother Xin" who had brought her in just now had left, that she slowly took off the cloth strip, and for a long time The pupils trapped in the darkness encountered bright light for a moment, and they barely adapted after closing their eyes for a while.
Opening his eyelids again, the first thing that came into view was the golden light that filled the room. It shone in from the window and was divided into countless strips by the grid pattern on the window lattice. Each strip shined on its own corresponding object, which was old and faded. There are altars, Buddha statues, incense burners, yellowed futons and pillows. There are many floating ash in the air. When illuminated by the yellow light, you can see that they are falling one by one, and in front of you. It is a small round table with two red lacquer chairs that have been polished by time. There are two sets of dishes and chopsticks on the round table, and a table full of dishes.
The man standing at the window finally turned around, and the golden sunlight covering his body was revealed layer by layer like a flowing flow.
Xia Yu finally saw his face clearly. He was still wearing a Chinese-style gown with an open front, crow green, and a long string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck that hung down to his slightly protruding belly. The pendant seemed to be a piece of jade, carved Xia Yu couldn't see anything clearly, but the jade surface was brightly illuminated by the sun.
Xia Yu felt something loosen and tighten in her heart.
"Li Tianci?"
The man at the window smiled slightly, and the piece of jade dangling on his belly gradually moved closer to Xia Yu, until he stood only two steps away from her.
After seeing it clearly, it was really a piece of jade with the image of Guanyin carved on it.
"Miss Xia, we meet again."
Li Tianci's voice was low, just like this old but peaceful room. Perhaps the fragrance was stirring around him, and the light was focused on him. Therefore, Li Tianci at this time really looked like "kind-faced and kind-hearted".
This kind of person, just because of the things he does, no matter how much incense he burns and how many sutras he recites, he will go to hell after death. This person is different from Li Wen. Li Wen is just bored and looking for excitement, but this person can do anything.
Xia Yu's scalp was numb, but she could still calm down, "Mr. Li, what are you doing?"
"My brothers offended Miss Xia before, so we treated Miss Xia to a meal as an apology."
"Eating?" Xia Yu sneered, "That fight was too big, just to treat me to a meal? I'm really flattered!"
Xia Yu didn't know what kind of medicine Li Tianci was selling in the gourd. Last night, Liu Sijie said that Zeng Ziqiang might ask Shen Mo to hold a board meeting for him again. Today, Li Tianci worked hard to get himself here. She didn't know if there was any association.
She was anxious before because she couldn't find out the other party's details, but now that Li Tianci showed up, she felt calmer. Xia Yu turned around and looked around again. The house was old, but relatively bright. Occasionally, she could hear birds chirping outside the window.
"Where is this?"
"The wing where I practice!"
Li Tianci replied that he had walked slowly to the south-facing position of the round table, pulled out a chair and sat down, then raised his hand to signal Xia Yu: "Sit down too, the dishes have been on the table for a while."
Xia Yu stood still, and Li Tianci showed great patience. He waited for a while and finally said, "Do you think my invitation is not sincere enough?"
"Still you don't think this dish is to your liking?"
"If the food is not to your liking, I can only ask you to be more patient. After all, this is a temple, and the chef can only cook vegetarian food."
"Do you think my invitation is not sincere enough?" Li Tianci smiled slightly, sat on the Grand Master's chair, picked up a kettle and started pouring water for Xia Yu.
