Mwah,
"If you jump more than five steps forward, you'll hit the wall.
If you jump three steps forward,
If you jump five steps to the right,
It's where I am. "
Li Yue thanked the other party embarrassedly. Just by listening to the voice, the other party should be a boy who was not much older than her.
She was like a blind person in the cellar, but the other party was able to accurately identify the location. This made her feel ashamed.
According to the location reported by the person who spoke,
Li Yue moved accordingly,
When she completed the last jump,
She indeed bumped into the other party.
The surroundings were pitch-black. Li Yue did not know where she had bumped into the other party,
She repeatedly apologized to the other party.
The boy did not know if he was really calm by nature or if he was impatient to talk to Li Yue,
He only replied faintly with a "Nothing" and did not say anything else. Li Yue was too embarrassed to say anything else.
The cellar was damp and cold,
Li Yue's clothes were a little thin in comparison.
She shivered for a while,
She could not help but move closer to the boy,
She wanted to draw some warmth from the other party's body.
The boy quickly realized her intentions. He did not hide to the side,
Instead, he turned his back,
And Li Yue were back-to-back.
The two of them were silent for a long time,
The boy was the first to break the silence. His voice was extremely calm, as if the two of them had not been kidnapped to the cellar by human traffickers, but had coincidentally met on a boat trip:
"You're... different from the people before. Aren't you... afraid?"
"Afraid of what?"
"No one is willing to save you."
"Wow, how is that possible? Uncle... Li will definitely come to save me."
The boy chuckled, as if he was scoffing at Li Yue's answer. Li Yue wanted to refute the boy, but she suddenly felt that her palm was wet. It was a little sticky when she rubbed it. Li Yue sniffed carefully. Other than the smell of water vapor and mildew, there was also a faint fishy smell in the air.
The liquid in his palm was undoubtedly blood, and the blood should have come from the boy.
After meeting Li Xunhuan, Li Yue knew that she was in a Wuxia world. However, since such an unscientific thing as transmigration had happened, no one could guarantee that this world did not only consist of Wuxia. If there was an existence that exceeded common sense, she did not think that she could handle it.
Thousands of supernatural stories flashed through her mind. Li Yue's teeth started to chatter. She wanted to leave the boy's side, but the cellar was only so big. If she angered the boy, she would only end up worse. She thought for a while and started to ask the boy indirectly.
"How long have you been kidnapped?
Did you see anyone else in the cellar? "
"I stayed in the cellar for about half a month. Before you came, the other children were taken away by them, and I … Heh, probably because I hurt one of them, so they decided to teach me a lesson."
"Injured?
You're only a few years older than me. How did you do it? "
"… I'm the young master of Wu Zong Mountain Villa, Yuan Suiyun."
Li Yue replied with an "Oh" and also reported her name. She felt like she had heard the name "Yuan Suiyun" somewhere before, but after carefully thinking for a while, she still could not remember anything.
The girl's indifferent response was within Yuan Suiyun's expectations. Not all the children who were kidnapped by the traffickers had family connections with the martial arts world, so it was normal for them not to know about Wu Zong Mountain Villa. However, this girl had a calmness that far exceeded her age. She was different from the other children who only knew how to cry and shout. She should be able to help him get out of here.
Thinking of this, Yuan Suiyun's tone became gentle. He first asked the girl to help him untie the hemp ropes on each other's hands and feet.
The girl's hands and feet were tied with loose knots, so they were easy to untie. Yuan Suiyun's body was full of dead knots, so it was impossible to untie them with bare hands. Li Yue had no choice but to lie on the pile of straw and search for something useful.
This time, she was lucky. It did not take her long to find a hairpin with a sharp end in the corner. Li Yue excitedly crawled back to her original spot. When she touched Yuan Suiyun's cold hands, she shivered and braced herself to cut the hemp ropes on him.
Yuan Suiyun politely thanked her and continued to discuss with Li Yue how to escape. They finally came up with a plan.
Before the plan could be carried out, the two of them needed to maintain their full strength. Li Yue and Yuan Suiyun took turns to keep watch and catch up on sleep. When Li Yue woke up, Yuan Suiyun also heard the footsteps above the cellar. The boy gently patted the girl's shoulder, and the two of them lay down according to the positions they had discussed.
When the cellar door slowly opened, an ugly and strong man walked down along the bamboo ladder. He glanced at the boy who was breathing weakly in the corner with disgust. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl who seemed to be asleep. When he grabbed her, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. The hemp ropes on the girl's hands and feet were gone.
While the man hesitated, Li Yue opened her eyes and suddenly hit the man's nose with her forehead.
The bridge of the nose was one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Even if the man knew some basic martial arts, he couldn't bear the pain of his nose being hit. He immediately released his hand and covered his face. Yuan Suiyun, who was in the corner, quietly stepped forward and sealed the man's acupoints. The man couldn't move for a while.
Li Yue rubbed her aching forehead and looked at the man as if she was looking at a rare object. Yuan Suiyun lightly coughed to draw her attention.
The two of them climbed the bamboo ladder one after another to the room above the cellar.
Under the burning torch, Li Yue finally saw Yuan Suiyun's appearance. She also understood why he had extraordinary hearing.
This handsome and outstanding boy had bloodstains on his clothes. His eyes were as black as ink and as still as stagnant water. Not even the slightest bit of light was reflected from them. He was clearly blind.
Yuan Suiyun seemed to be aware of Li Yue's pause. He stared at the girl and pursed his lips.
Li Yue opened her mouth and chose to swallow back the question she was about to blurt out.
No one liked to have their flaws pointed out in front of them, especially minors with physical disabilities.
After thinking about it, Li Yue held Yuan Suiyun's hand and said to him sincerely, "I'm sorry.
"That … Yuan Suiyun … brother, I don't know martial arts and I'm afraid of the dark. Can I hold your hand and walk?"
The boy's tense breathing eased a little. His lips curled up slightly as he nodded slowly.
Li Yue let out a long sigh of relief in her heart and held Yuan Suiyun's hand as they walked out of the door.
The moment Yuan Suiyun stepped out of the room, he flicked a stone out of Li Yue's field of vision.
The stone first hit the wall and accurately rebounded to the candlestick in the room. Half of the candle drew an arc in the air and fell into the cellar with the flame.
The burly man left behind by the two had his back facing the bamboo ladder. He didn't hear anything and didn't see the candle fall. When he felt the scorching heat behind him, his eyes were filled with despair.
With Yuan Suiyun by her side, although Li Yue walked slowly while holding his hand, they didn't face the enemy directly.
But as the two walked further and further away, Yuan Suiyun's face became paler and paler. Li Yue guessed that he might be injured.
The other party didn't mention it and Li Yue didn't want to directly expose him. She could only try to slow down.
When the two walked out of the corridor with many twists and turns, the sky was already dark. It was probably because it was late that the traffickers didn't notice their tracks in time.
With the help of the starlight, Li Yue found that she and Yuan Suiyun seemed to be in the garden of a manor. She didn't need to guess to know that the owner of the manor was related to the traffickers.
Li Yue didn't dare to go too far with Yuan Suiyun. She searched around and took him to hide in an unlocked storeroom.
The storeroom was in a mess. It was full of broken things. No one knew what it was used to store. But at least there was a shabby mattress. Li Yue spread the mattress into a rotten cabinet and dragged Yuan Suiyun to hide inside.
At first, Li Yue was worried that Yuan Suiyun would be unwilling. But in the end, Yuan Suiyun, the young master of an aristocratic family, didn't complain at all. His expression didn't change at all as he hugged the musty mattress with her.
After spending the night in the cabinet, Yuan Suiyun had a low fever. Li Yue was also in a daze because she didn't have a good rest. Her hands constantly moved between her and Yuan Suiyun's forehead. She was determined to take him away from this damned place.
Li Yue, like before, chose to take action in the early hours of the morning when the general public was the most tired. She took Yuan Suiyun with great difficulty and moved along the corner. They bypassed a few guards guarding the manor. In the end, they were bumped into by a big man with a scar on his face.
The big man didn't say anything and directly slapped Yuan Suiyun. Li Yue smelled the strong fishy and sweet smell on the boy's body.
The gate of the manor was close at hand. As long as they crossed the threshold, they could —
"You are very smart to be able to come to this place. But smart is smart, if you can't be used by me, then I won't let you live. Give me your lives!"
The big man with a scar on his face raised his giant axe and directly chopped at the two of them. Li Yue subconsciously blocked in front of the seriously injured Yuan Suiyun and closed her eyes. But for a long time, she didn't feel any pain. Instead, she heard the sound of a giant falling to the ground.
Li Yue opened her eyes and saw the big man with a scar on his face lying on the ground. There was a gurgling hole in his chest, which was bleeding.
A man was standing at the entrance of the hall. He had a handsome face and gentle eyes. When Li Yue's eyes met his, the panic in her heart disappeared without a trace. She even had the mood to joke with the other party.
"Hey, Uncle Li, other children have been picked up by their parents. Why did you come to pick me up only now?"
"I don't have any relatives in this world. I don't eat much, so it's easy to feed me. Not only can I read, but I can also do accounts. So, can I trouble you to take me in for the time being?
I will work hard and make you feel that it's worth it. "
