Arrived outside the courtyard that the little boy once described, Qingfengxia said, "This is the only high tower in the courtyard that is most likely to contain the children. Let's go up to the tower and have a look. The girl should stay here in the grass and don't act rashly."
Ling'er thought of the hideous wound on Qingfengxia's arm and said, "I'll go with you so that you can at least take care of me."
"Young lady, don't you trust my martial arts?" Qingfengxia asked.
"No, I'm just worried about your injury." Linger hesitated.
Qingfeng Xia said, "The girl is helping me by staying here. If it weren't for the inconvenience caused by the lower arm injury, I would be able to protect the girl no matter what."
Qingfeng Xia had already said so, how could Ling'er not understand that Ling'er hated his poor martial arts skills, not only couldn't help Qingfeng Xia, but also became a burden to him.
Qingfeng Xia realized that his words were a bit hurtful. Seeing Ling'er lowering her eyes sadly, she quickly explained, "I don't want the girl to get hurt."
Ling'er interrupted him and said, "I Got it, I'll wait for you here, you have to be careful."
Qingfengxia was still a little worried about Ling'er. He took out a smoke bomb from his arms and handed it to her, and warned, "When in danger, be careful. Don’t fight forcefully, just avoid it if you can.”
Ling’er nodded while holding the warm smoke bomb.
Ling'er lurked in the grass and waited for a long time, but Qingfengxia didn't come back. The longer she waited, the more anxious she became. If there hadn't been any movement inside, she would have rushed in to help.
Suddenly, Linger felt something wrapped around her right ankle, something cold. She looked down and saw a small snake as thick as a hemp rope wrapped around her ankle and spitting out snake bites at her.
Ling'er's beauty turned pale, but she held back her exclamation because she was afraid of being discovered and harming Qingfeng Xia. She has been afraid of snakes since she was a child and has been bitten by snakes several times because of her love of collecting herbs. Although she knew that the little snake in front of her was not poisonous, she still felt creepy and trembled with fear.
Ling'er stared closely at the little snake, and the little snake stared at Ling'er closely. One person and one snake were facing each other like this. Ling'er only hopes that Qingfengxia can come back quickly.
Suddenly, the little snake lost patience, opened its mouth and bit Ling'er's leg.
Ling'er bit her lip to endure the severe pain in her legs, not daring to make any sound. But the pain in his legs made Ling'er unsteady and fell to the ground with a "bang". The movement was not big. Unfortunately, there was an empty water tank next to Ling'er. The water tank fell to the ground and cracked immediately after being hit by Ling'er, making a loud "clang" sound.
The loud noise scared the little snake and it hurried back into the grass.
Ling'er hated herself for having to implicate Qingfengxia again, so she got up from the ground with difficulty.
At this time, several big men holding torches opened the door and rushed towards Ling'er. There was also a commotion in the courtyard. Although Ling'er couldn't see clearly what was going on inside through the courtyard wall, she could still see a piece of fire coming in her direction.
Ling'er looked at the big man who was getting closer and closer, but stopped when he went to pick up the smoke bomb. This is the chaos she caused,She couldn't just run away, she didn't want to drag Qingfeng Xia down.
Linger made a quick decision, turned around and ran away. She gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain from the wound on her leg, dragging the big men and running away. She understood that if she could delay for a moment longer, she could buy Qingfeng Xia one more moment to evacuate.
Suddenly smoke was everywhere, Ling'er felt a tightening in her waist, her body lightened, and the pain in her legs immediately eased a lot. It turned out that Qingfengxia arrived in time and took her away from the danger.
As soon as he landed, Ling'er asked anxiously, "Where are the children? Is it because I can't save them?"
"No other children were found." Qingfeng Xia said.
"Is your injury okay?" Ling'er looked at Qingfengxia's right arm worriedly.
Unexpectedly, Qingfengxia not only did not answer, but instead said angrily, "Why don't you use smoke bombs to escape from your leg injury?"
Ling'er saw Qingfengxia angry and thought He was angry that he had been discovered and was too timid to speak out.
Qingfeng Xia also knew that his tone was a little harsh, so he sighed softly and said, "Why did you hurt your leg?"
"There are snakes in the grass," Ling'er whispered aggrievedly. .
Qingfengxia asked anxiously, "Where is the injury? Is there any poison?" After saying that, he squatted down and wanted to check Ling'er's injury.
Ling'er hurriedly took a step back and said, "It's just an ordinary little snake, not poisonous."
"Don't be careless. Ordinary little snakes near the demon sect's stronghold may also be poisonous." ." Qingfeng Xia said. When he saw that Ling'er refused to let him check the injury, he stood up.
“Those people in the Demon Sect’s stronghold just now are Demon Sect members.” Ling’er was shocked.
"Yes." Qingfengxia nodded and continued to ask, "Is there anything wrong with the girl?"
"I am not poisoned. I am a doctor. How could I notice if I am poisoned?" I can’t get out,” Ling’er said.
Qingfengxia felt relieved and said, "Then bandage it quickly."
"Uh, it doesn't matter, I'll bandage it when I get back." Ling'er said a little embarrassed.
"Are you going to bandage the girl?" Qingfengxia asked.
"No" Ling'er hurriedly refused, and finally had to compromise, "I can just bandage it myself." Ling'er squatted down, rolled up his trouser legs, took out the wound medicine from the small bag and bandaged it skillfully.
Qingfengxia didn’t dare to watch and turned around.
"Just now you said this is a demon sect stronghold, what is going on?" Ling'er asked.
"In the past few days, Master Jin Gou of the Demon Sect has secretly come to Beijing and secretly set up many temporary strongholds in the capital, and this is one of them." Qingfeng Xia said.
"Master Jin Gou" Ling'er still has lingering fears when she thinks of being kidnapped by Master Jin Gou in Luoyang.
Qingfeng Xia continued, "They are catching boys everywhere and taking their blood to treat Master Jin Gou's stubborn illness."
"What" Ling'er couldn't believe it, they actually So brutal.
“These temporary strongholds were established to communicate with human traffickers from various places."Qingfeng Xia said.
"What about the other children locked up here?" Ling'er asked quickly.
"I have just checked everywhere, and those children have been was transferred away. "Qingfeng Xia said.
"Where did it go?" Ling'er asked.
"The Demon Sect has branched out in the capital. "Qingfeng Xia said.
Ling'er put away the medicine, stood up, and asked quickly, "Do you know where their branch is?"
"Yes. "Qingfengxia replied.
"Then let's go rescue people now," Ling'er said.
Qingfengxia turned to look at Ling'er, but did not speak.
p>Ling'er thought for a while and suddenly realized, "Ah, I forgot that you are still injured." After saying this, she reached out to gently caress the injury on Qingfengxia's right arm.
Qingfeng. Xia said, "It has nothing to do with my injury." He was accidentally touched by Ling'er.
Ling'er felt that the place where his hand reached was wet and cold.
Qingfengxia reacted and immediately stepped aside.
"Let me help you stop the bleeding," Ling'er said anxiously.
"No need. Qingfengxia said, "No more bleeding." "
"Did the wound bleed when you just rescued me?" Ling'er looked at the red color on his hand sadly and asked.
Qingfengxia didn't want to answer, but He said, "It is not so easy to go to a branch of the Demon Sect to save people. It requires long-term planning. I just found out how many more children will be sent here tomorrow. We will come back to rescue them tomorrow night. ”
