The Young Emperor and the Fearless

bang...

There was a huge thunder from the sky, and the dark night was instantly lit up by lightning. Afterwards, there were several thunder and lightning sounds that shook the sky, and after a while, it began to rain continuously.

It was midnight now, and the streets of Donghe Town were empty, and there were no lights in the thousands of households, and almost everyone had fallen asleep.

However, in a deep house located in an unbiased position, candle lamps were still lit, the light was dim, ambiguous, and even the furnishings in the room could not be seen clearly, only the bedding and quilt arched out on the bright red bed nearby. It seems that someone is sleeping.

Outside the room, a young man came from afar with a steaming meal, and his body was still wet from the rain.He stood still at the door, as if hesitating for something, after a while, he took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door twice, pushed the door open and entered without waiting for the people inside to agree.

The young man put the food on the wooden table separated by the candle lamp, his face was reflected by the flickering firelight, his almond eyes and red lips were cute, and with his undeveloped figure, he was extremely immature, so he was a young man , but more like a small child.

He walked to the bed and pushed the person on the bed, but without any response, he lifted the quilt again and forcibly pulled the person up.

The person on the bed looked like a real boy, rubbed his eyes and stood up, nearly twice as tall as him, but just looking at his face, he didn't feel how big the boy was, with white teeth and blue eyebrows, and a touch of bright red on his lips.The young man stretched lazily, then yawned again, his eyes sparkling.

After a stick of incense, he seemed to finally wake up, staring at the child in front of him in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"

**

In the Yuelai Inn, the room in the east residence on the first floor was still lit, but under the dim candlelight, three people were sitting solemnly, all expressionless and confused.

I have searched everywhere, but there is still no trace of He Li.

According to the accountant, it was around Weishi when He Li returned to the inn and had a friendly conversation with him. He Li asked some questions about Donghe Town’s customs of celebrating the Double Ninth Festival, and then suddenly said that he wanted to go out to do something. Then he left the inn.

He Li was not in a hurry when he walked away, he could even be said to be leisurely.

Su Yu glanced at Shi Qi and said, "Young Master Li doesn't have any silver on him, so he couldn't be buying Chongyang customs. Moreover, Shi Qi and I asked all the people in the downtown area, because there were too many people, and almost no one was there. pay attention to."

Seventeenth said: "Not only that, half of the roof tiles in Donghe Town have been lifted for inspection."

If it weren't for the sudden rain, they would not have postponed their search and returned to the inn to discuss countermeasures.

Ju Xie said: "Based on your understanding of He Li, why did he leave the inn so suddenly?"

Su Yudao: "Young Master Li is very concerned about tomorrow's Double Ninth Festival. He told me about it today and asked Mr. Accountant. Could it be something related to the Double Ninth Festival?"

Seventeenth said: "Young Master Li acts resolutely, it is not impossible to do so."

Ju Xie's ears moved slightly, hearing the footsteps of the guest officers coming and going outside the door getting closer and further away, and said: "I thought of another possibility, the wooden bird he was very interested in..."

Su Yu immediately said: "But we asked the craftsman who made the wooden bird. That person had some impressions of Mr. Li, but he hasn't seen Mr. Li today."

Ju Xie frowned and said: "This is just a guess about the purpose of Heli's departure from the inn. Whether it is true or not determines how to find people. However, without any clues, it is indeed impossible to figure out, but searching from door to door is not the way. "

Su Yu said: "Does Master Ju have any suggestions?"

Ju Xie bowed her head, and the facial features exposed by her hair bundle seemed to be drawn with brush and ink, with smooth lines.Under the slightly flickering candlelight, his eyes were dim, and he couldn't see the emotion inside.Ju Xie said: "I guess He Li was kidnapped as soon as he left the inn. The other party may not have thought of it temporarily, but he should have been eyeing He Li a long time ago. He has been wandering around and observing He Li for the past two days. Come out of Yuelai Inn It’s a busy city, and it’s very lively today, so it’s possible to be unaware of it, maybe it’s because of drug use.”

Su Yu said: "Today, I traveled with Mr. Li, but I didn't find anyone suspicious."

Seventeen wondered: "Will this matter be related to the case of the disappearance of the children in Donghe Town? It seems that the methods are quite similar. They disappeared quietly, and there were no clues."

Ju Xie said in a deep voice: "It's impossible to be perfect, there must be flaws in it."

Su Yu said: "What does this mean?"

Ju Xie's eyes fell on the flickering candlelight, as if she had thought about it for a long time, then she turned around silently and left the room.

**

In the dark and unfamiliar room, the candlelight pulled the shadows of the two people, one big and one small, into shapeless shapes.

There was the sound of pattering rain, and He Li turned his head to look around, as if he saw the increasing rain outside the house through the closed windows and doors, he paused for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Why don't you answer?"

The immature-looking child in front of him shook his head, pointed at the steaming food on the table, and made a gesture of grilling the rice.

Heli said, "You can't speak?"

The child didn't shake his head or nod, and stubbornly repeated the action just now.

There were too many questions in He Li's mind, but he couldn't get an answer. He sat down angrily, picked up the wooden chopsticks, and when he was about to stuff a piece of green vegetables into his mouth, he stopped suddenly.

The child who was two steps away from him stared at him intently, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes, meeting He Li's eyes, he lowered his eyes, his expression seemed to be full of sadness.

With the child's appearance, it feels like he has something to say, but he can't.

He Li asked, "Is this food poisonous?"

The child bit his lip and lowered his head to his chest.

He Li understood it all at once, he put down the wooden chopsticks, and even though he was very hungry, he had to swallow his saliva.He stretched out his hand to grab the child, pulled him to him, and said, "Look at me."

The child hesitated, but still met Heli's eyes.

He Li said: "If you don't want to talk, then I'll ask you something. If yes, you nod your head, if no, you shake your head. Let me ask you, is this food poisoned by you?"

The child's face was pale, his mouth was pursed, he didn't dare to look at He Li, he looked at the ground next to him, avoiding to answer his question.

When He Li sat down, the boy was taller than him, and he asked, "How old are you?"

The child shook his head, for some reason, tears flowed down his cheeks and fell to the ground.

He Li trembled in his heart, and said helplessly, "Forget it, I won't press you."

He Li let go of the child and walked towards the door.

When the child saw it, he became anxious, and grabbed Heli and waved his hands vigorously.

He Li looked at his panicked expression and said, "You mean, I can't go out."

The child nodded quickly.

He Li pulled him away and said: "No, I need to know where this is, and I want to go back to Yuelai Inn."

The child hugged He Li's waist, preventing him from opening the door, and whimpered a few times, as if saying that he could not leave.But the child's strength was no match for He Li, He Li pushed him away, and as soon as he put his hand down, he wanted to push the door open.

Suddenly there was a sound of messy footsteps outside the door, and under the cover of the sound of rain, there were a few whispers.

He Li and the child were stunned at the same time, and immediately, the child reacted extremely strongly. He shrank and crawled under the table, then crawled out, and hid behind the door tremblingly.

The child is like being stepped on by a wolf's tail, and his neck is exposed under his bloody mouth, as if he will be bitten off in the next moment. When he is dying, he can't hide his fear and fear.

Who is the comer? How could he be so afraid?

He Li stared at the door with concern, and heard the footsteps stop at the door, but the other party was not in a hurry to come in, and coughed twice on purpose, as if making a silent signal.

The child also heard it, understood what the other party meant, turned his head to look at He Li with red eyes, and then walked towards him slowly.He took out a long and thin piece of cloth from his sleeve, folded several layers, and gestured horizontally towards his eyes.

He meant to blindfold He Li.

He Li shook his head, of course he refused.

But the child suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Heli.

dong dong dong...

Just the sound of kowtowing can make people feel the pain in the forehead. The child is begging and cooperating in a pitiful way.

But no matter what he said, his purpose was to harm He Li.

He Li didn't move, and watched him knock a dozen times with cold eyes, his forehead was blood red, but he continued.

This child is inexplicably stubborn.

In the end, He Li softened his heart, sighed helplessly, and took the cloth strip from the child.

In the originally dark room, blindfolded by cloth strips, there was no sense of light.

He Li was supported to sit on the edge of the bed, when he heard the child go to open the door, then someone came in from outside, but the child went out, and closed the door softly.

The person who came in came with heavy footsteps, and slowly moved to the bed, but suddenly there was no movement.

He Li could hear the man's heavy breathing and the strong smell of alcohol coming from him.This person is a man, he said softly, "Who are you?"

The man snorted and stroked He Li's face with one hand.

He Li was taken aback, opened the man's hand, and said sharply, "What do you want to do?"

The man snorted again, and said intermittently with a hint of alcohol, "You...didn't eat, it's a pity..."

As he spoke, he pushed He Li onto the bed.

What the hell is he trying to do!

He Li was full of doubts, although he was blindfolded, his hands could move, and he could untie the cloth at any time.He Li put his hand on the cloth, and was about to tear it away when the man suddenly straddled him and grabbed He Li's other hand that wanted to resist.

The man breathed out the smell of alcohol beside He Li's ear, and said again: "However, that's fine too, if you force it a little more intensely, it's also a special sentiment..."

With his rough hands, he untied the belt of He Li's clothes, and stretched inside.No matter how dull He Li was, he understood the reason for this person's visit.

He Li struggled for a while, but his strength was not as strong as that of the man, and the opponent's weight was all on him, and his chest felt tight.He Li said angrily, "Let go!"

The man laughed: "It doesn't matter, you can resist as much as you want, I'm happy for you to be so lively and frisky, and it's even more uncontrollable when you do it. I'm not mistaken, your skin is really smooth, compared to the little baby Come on, it's not inferior at all..."

Not only the words, but also the stroking movements of this person's hand, made Heli's skin goosebumps, and he couldn't bear it any longer.

With all his strength, He Li broke free from the hands that imprisoned him, bent his right leg, and threw him aside before he could react in the future.

The man was not angry, as if he was amused, he smiled and said: "That's right, that's what we want."

He Li tore off the strip of cloth, his eyes just came into contact with the dim light, and when he was still not used to it, the man held his head with his hands, and the man said: "No, you can't see."

He Li had never suffered such grievances before, he was so angry that he lost all reason, he grabbed the man tightly and clasped his arm, pulled it to his mouth, and bit down hard.

"Ah..." the man yelled, "Where is the mad dog, it still bites people!"

He Liqi burst into tears and wanted to scold back, but after reading so many poems and books, he didn't learn a single foul language, so he had to bite the man's arm even harder, refusing to let go.

The man couldn't bear the pain, grabbed He Li's hair with the other hand, and slammed his head against the wall, saying fiercely: "Let me go!"

No matter how hard the head is, it can't be as hard as the wall. The man hit hard again, and He Li's head was hit with a muffled sound, as if someone was ringing a big bell in his head, making him dizzy for a while. With a heavy bang, Heli couldn't hold on anymore, bit his teeth on the flesh of the other's arm, and finally let go.

At the same time, He Li's consciousness became more and more blurred, and his eyes couldn't stop turning black.

How disgusting, he thought, as he passed out.
