Chapter 148
Hearing this, Ye Yunzhou's face changed, and he was immediately anxious. How could he be in the mood to listen to Ye Yi's words? He threw his hands away, displayed Qinggong, and leaped towards the stable.
When Ye Yi saw how nervous he was, he was confused for a moment and scratched his head subconsciously, but he quickly came to his senses and hurried to catch up with him.
.........
Outside the city, there's a slightly sloping road known as Sanlipu. Here, the weeds along the roadside are over a meter tall, densely packed and layered, completely covering the surrounding area. Without careful observation, it's impossible to tell what's behind the weeds.
At this moment, bursts of sound were heard from the grassland.
There were howling sounds like ghosts and wolves, and some people were crying out in tears: "Go over there, it's so itchy! Oooo! Someone come and save me?"
Mixed in with the various noises was a whimpering cry, which was chilling even from a distance. Fortunately, there were no pedestrians on this road at that time, otherwise, anyone who heard it would think that this place was haunted.
Liu Xiangdong listened to the howling coming from his ears. If it were usual, he would have shouted to stop it, but at this moment, he no longer had the energy to care about it.
He lay on the grass, his hands and feet tied, unable to exert any strength, so he could only twist his body and rub his chest. However, this made his back uncomfortable, so he turned over and rubbed his back hard. A closer look revealed that his chest and back were all red, and there were even shocking scratches on them, which made people feel unbearable pain.
But even though he used all his strength to rub it like this, after just a short rest, more ants would crawl over following the smell and soon attach themselves to his body.
Feeling the itch on his naked skin, his eyes were red and bloodshot: "Bitch, if I catch you, I will make you wish for death and be despised by everyone."
Helplessly, he turned over again and rubbed off the ants crawling onto his body, cursing angrily.
"Damn it! This road used to be bustling with people, but why is it empty today?" He was helpless, but had to grit his teeth and persevere, hoping that someone would pass by and rescue them as soon as possible.
When the others saw Liu Xiangdong's actions, they stopped howling and followed suit.
There were plenty of twigs and gravel in the grass, so rubbing the annoying stuff off required considerable effort. After repeating this several times, everyone's chest and back became red and swollen. However, the itching was more unbearable than the pain, so they could only turn over, rub it off, and turn over again.
In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with red clouds. Liu Xiangdong no longer had the strength to turn over, but fortunately, everything on his body had been rubbed off. Although there were occasionally one or two ants crawling on him, they were not as numerous as before.
Ye Yunzhou and Ye Yi galloped on their horses.
Ye Yunzhou sat firmly on his horse, his eyes as black as ink, his lips tightly pursed, and a chilling aura emanating from his body. His heart felt as if it were being stabbed by a knife and burned by fire. He was so anxious that he wished he could grow wings and fly to the person he wanted to see.
Near the bend of Sanlipu, he suddenly pulled the reins hard, and the horse raised its front hooves high, waving them wildly in the air a few times, and then fell down after a neigh. Ye Yi followed behind and hurriedly pulled the reins hard to force the horse to stop.
When he jumped off his horse, he saw a big tree across the middle of the road. The horse could barely pass over it, but how could there be a big tree blocking the way on such a good official road?
Ye Yunzhou suddenly had some bad thoughts in his mind, but he warned himself not to overthink it. Then, he turned around, dismounted, and walked to the tree.
Ye Yi hurried forward to help, and the two of them worked together to move the big tree to the side of the road.
Ye Yunzhou noticed the neat cut at the base of the tree, indicating it had definitely not fallen naturally. Furthermore, there were no traces of roots or anything like that, suggesting it must have been moved here. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he leaped onto his horse again, galloping forward, keeping an eye on his surroundings as he ran.
When he reached Sanlipo, he pulled the reins again, stopped the horse, and turned to look at the roadside not far away.
"Help! Who can save us?" A weak voice came from the roadside. Ye Yunzhou's heart tightened and he immediately jumped off the horse, pushing away the weeds and rushing towards the roadside.
Ye Yi naturally also heard the sound coming from the roadside. Seeing Ye Yunzhou's actions, he suppressed the bad premonition in his heart and followed Ye Yunzhou's footsteps into the grass.
Pushing aside the grass, he looked at the white and red bodies on the ground. He was a little confused for a moment and murmured with confusion, "What are these people doing?"
Ye Yunzhou pursed his lips. When he saw that it was Liu Xiangdong lying not far away, he felt relieved for some reason. He ignored the miserable appearance of the others and walked straight forward.
Liu Xiangdong had been in despair, but after hearing the sound of horse hooves, a fire of hope ignited in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.
Others heard his cry and listened carefully to hear the sound of horse hooves. They followed his example and shouted "Help!"
After hearing the others start shouting, Liu Xiangdong finally stopped talking. After all, as the second son of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion, he still had to consider his reputation. He knew someone could shout for him, so he closed his mouth and looked behind the bushes with hope and anxiety.
Seeing someone coming over through the bushes, he took a closer look and saw it was Ye Yunzhou. He was overjoyed and said, "Cousin Zhou, save me!"
Ye Yunzhou heard Liu Xiangdong calling him, but he didn't move forward at all. He just stood there, frowning and looking at him with cold eyes.
Liu Xiangdong raised his head and looked directly into Ye Yunzhou's icy eyes. The joy that had just surged in his heart disappeared in an instant, and a bad premonition came like a tide.
But he was always scheming, and he quickly suppressed his anxiety, smiled, and said, "Cousin Zhou, please help me loosen this rope. I am really uncomfortable like this."
"Sir, please save me." Seeing someone coming, the thug next to him moved forward a little and asked Ye Yi for help.
"Yes, sir, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Please save us!" The other people also imitated that man and asked Ye Yunzhou and the others for help.
Seeing their miserable state, Ye Yi felt pangs of pity. He pursed his lips and tried to step forward to rescue them, but Ye Yunzhou held him back. He looked at the arm blocking his chest and glanced at his supervisor with some confusion, but all he could see was the back of his head.
Ye Yi said in confusion, "Superintendent, let me untie them first, and then ask them what's going on."
