Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 14: Eat well when you are growing up
When Li Si arrived in Hangzhou City, he looked a little tired.
He hasn't slept well these past few days. As soon as he falls asleep, someone comes to harass him. This situation really gives him a headache.
But it should be better once we get into the city where there are more people and more eyes.
Li Si is in a good mood now. Firstly, he arrived in Hangzhou City on time, and secondly, today's weather is exactly what he wants.
The sky was a little gloomy, but not completely without any sunshine.
The road is not too hot, nor too cold, and the cool breeze blows on your face, bringing a refreshing feeling.
It blew away Li Si's gloomy mood as he had been being chased for the past few days.
Li Si looked at the city gate not far away and his brows relaxed slightly.
Although he couldn't go through the main gate because of the wanted poster on it, a mere city wall couldn't stop him.
He casually found a corner of the wall, stepped on the bluestone, and flew up from the wall, floated over the top of the city, and landed silently into the city.
After traveling for so many days, he wanted to find a place to wash up first, otherwise his clothes would start to smell.
It would have been a beautiful day, at least for Li Silai, with light breeze and clear sky, and no one to disturb him.
Unfortunately, things in this world don’t always go as we wish.
As mentioned before, there are two ways to find Li Si. One is to chase him, and the other is to wait for him to come.
Most people choose to chase him, but some choose to wait for him, for example, those who can calculate where he will go.
…
On the streets of Hangzhou, the handsome young man walked with unsteady steps, covering his mouth and coughing from time to time.
The girl in front of me no longer looked like the elegant man she was half a month ago. She had lost a lot of weight, her eye sockets and cheeks were sunken, her breathing was shallow, and she looked haggard.
In order to pursue Li Si, she calculated Li Si's whereabouts in advance.
Then she hid in someone else's cargo, secretly boarded a ship to Hangzhou, and sailed downstream. This enabled her to arrive in Hangzhou City one day before Li Si.
She hadn't eaten for two days, had no money, and couldn't even afford water. Now she felt like she might faint at any time.
But she still forced herself to stay awake, leaned against the roadside, and shook the tortoise shell in her hand, as if trying to figure out whether Li Si had arrived.
In fact, she also knew that even if she caught up with Li Si now, it would be almost impossible to catch him.
She just felt that she should pursue him, because if she didn't, then she really wouldn't have any chance at all.
She had to get the 10,000 taels of gold, and she didn't have much time left.
"Cough cough." After coughing weakly twice, the handsome young man took the copper coin that slipped out of the turtle shell and looked at it in front of his eyes.
After reading it, she took a breath and held the coin in her palm.
The hexagram meant that Li Si had arrived, and at this moment, was not far to the west of her.
The handsome young man raised his head heavily, took a deep breath, stood up straight, and walked towards the west with slow steps.
…
Li Si found an inn with a thin face towel and two taels of silver .
Although there is a risk of being discovered, he must now find a better place to rest.
Because he was wearing a face mask, the innkeeper didn't know that he was the wanted criminal by the court in recent days, and thought he was just an ordinary gangster who didn't want to show his face.
The owner has been running this roadside shop for a long time and has seen many strange people, not to mention Li Si.
Besides, since he was willing to pay twice as much to stay in the hotel, the boss naturally didn't mind and immediately opened a room for him. He also boiled a full bucket of hot water and moved it to his room as he wished.
The room was shrouded in water vapor. Li Si lay , letting the hot water soak his body.
After traveling for several days, taking a hot bath is a rare enjoyment.
His tired body was relieved, and Li Si lay in the bucket, too lazy to move even a finger.
He didn't stand up from the bucket until the water had grown colder and it was getting dark outside.
By the time he got dressed, it was already dusk outside.
The sun was setting in the west. With the intention of taking advantage of the twilight to go out for a walk, Li Si left the room and planned to take a walk around the city.
Outside the inn, the handsome young man who had been waiting at the corner of the door for an entire afternoon finally saw a man in white clothes walking out of the inn.
Although he was wearing a white face towel, I still recognized this bastard at the first sight.
He is Li Si, there is no doubt about it.
She raised her body with great effort and followed the man in white up, slowly taking out a silver needle from her sleeve.
This was her last-ditch effort based on her current situation.
She only had one chance to insert the needle into Li Si's Zhongting acupoint from behind.
This would block Li Si's air valve in an instant, causing him to faint for a short period of time.
As long as Li Si can faint, she will be successful.
But the problem is that she has to get close to Li Si without him noticing, and this is the most difficult thing.
Trying his best to regulate his breathing, the fair-faced young man made his steps as light as possible, and at the same time circulated his internal energy, forcing some strength out of his weak body.
Success or failure depends on this one move, there is no chance of a second chance.
If you don't succeed...
When the handsome young man thought of this, his nose felt sore and his eyes turned slightly red.
Then I'd rather die...
She had nothing left to cling to.
At the back of the street, the handsome young man took a step forward, and at the front of the street, Li Si's ears moved.
Within fifty meters, no one's footsteps could escape his ears, let alone a little girl who was not good at light work.
Li Si's face turned a little dark. He really couldn't understand how this girl caught up with him, and was it really necessary to chase him to this extent?
Judging from the sound of her footsteps, her internal organs are weak and her body is powerless. If she continues like this for some time, she might even lose her life.
Why are you still thinking about catching me at this time?
Li Si couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to stand there and be caught.
I hope she'll give up this time.
Thinking of this, Li Si quickened his pace.
The handsome young man who was staring at Li Si naturally noticed this immediately.
"Don't run!" She shouted in panic, and ran forward quickly, stabbing the silver needle in her hand into Li Si's back.
But how could she stab him? In the blink of an eye, Li Si had walked dozens of meters away and disappeared at a street corner.
The pretty young woman was already weak, and now all the strength she had managed to muster was gone . She had no strength left in her feet and fell straight to the street.
The silver needle rolled to the side. She raised her eyes and looked at the corner of the street where Li Si disappeared. Her slightly cracked lips opened and closed, but no sound came out.
Passersby on the street cast strange looks at the man who suddenly fell, but no one intended to step forward to help.
Between unrelated people, human feelings are always indifferent.
Feeling the last bit of strength in his body slowly slipping away, the handsome young man felt so tired that he could hardly even keep his eyes open.
Now that I think about it, it seems like she hasn't had any sleep for several days.
I'm so tired... Why not just take a break...
As she thought about it, she slowly closed her eyes and her consciousness gradually became blurred. She must be about to faint.
But just before she completely lost consciousness, she seemed to feel someone appear in front of her, and after a moment of silence, he carried her body on his back.
A familiar, yet disgusting voice came to my ears.
"Really? Why are there so many troubles?"
Am I rescued?
The handsome young man thought about it, but he couldn't think anymore.
Completely fainted.
