Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 217 Li Si never knows when he will get into trouble
"Almost done, let's go in."
At night, in the backyard of Qianjialou.
Li Si tested the temperature of the medicinal soup in the wooden barrel in front of him with his hand and said to Ning Caihe who was standing beside him.
"Okay, I understand."
Looking at the potion in the wooden barrel that had become extremely turbid, Ning Caihe hesitated for a moment, but out of his trust in Li Si, he quickly took off his coat, put on a pair of shorts that did not reach his knees, and tiptoed in.
Banjiexian stood aside yawning, because the men's rooms were for two people, so there was no room for a wooden barrel for bathing, so they basically washed in the yard. Xiao Cao was different, she lived alone in her room, so she could fit a bigger wooden barrel.
Hao Dayou sat beside the firewood pile in the corner. As a cook, he had to chop the firewood himself, which was hard work.
Looking at the medicinal bath that Li Si prepared for Ning Caihe, he pursed his lips and muttered.
"Is this thing reliable? It smells weird."
"Don't worry." Banjiexian leaned against a millstone, yawned again and responded: "Li Si is still very reliable in this regard."
When it comes to his mastery of the properties of medicinal herbs, Li Si is considered to be one of the best in the world. It's just a medicinal bath, and it's impossible for Xiao He to be harmed.
As soon as he soaked in the medicine, Ning Caihe smelled a pungent medicinal smell, which made him frown.
But then, Li Si on the side patted his head and said.
"Hurry up and practice your skills. Don't waste the power of the medicine."
"Oh, yes." Ning Caihe quickly circulated his internal energy according to the mental method, and then he felt a warmth spreading from his lower abdomen to his whole body.
This temperature was higher than that of the potion, but it was not uncomfortable. It was even very comfortable, and made him feel as if all the acupuncture points in his body were opened. As his internal energy continued to circulate, this feeling became more and more obvious, and it seemed to be gradually speeding up the circulation of his internal energy.
He began to feel the medicinal power seeping in from outside his body, enveloping his whole body, while the impurities that had accumulated in his body were being discharged, making his internal energy flow more smoothly. Although this process was very slow, he was sure that it was indeed happening.
Li Si stood in the wooden barrel, feeling the changes in Xiao He's body, and nodded.
Well, at this rate, Xiaohe's solidified meridians should be adjusted in a year at most.
But this year's medicinal bath is not a small amount...
Thinking of this, Li Si's gaze drifted to Banjiexian again.
Perhaps he noticed something, Banjiexian shuddered, tightened his clothes, and moved away from Li Si.
"Trample." At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the roof.
The three people in the yard looked at each other at the same time.
Hao Dayou stopped the hatchet in his hand, Banjiexian stood up straight, and Li Si looked towards the roof, and after a while, he spoke to the two of them.
"I'll go up and take a look. You guys keep an eye on Xiao He."
Hao Dayou and Banjiexian nodded at the same time, and the next moment, Li Si's figure disappeared in the yard.
Even Banjiexian and Hao Dayou could not see clearly how he disappeared.
Mother Liu originally just wanted to come and see who the person who gave Yan Ziqing two hundred taels of gold was.
It didn't seem difficult to find out where the man went in the end, because the other party didn't seem to hide anything, so she just did a simple check and found the place above Qianjialou.
But now, she had just arrived at Qianjialou, and there was already one less person in the yard.
She couldn't sense where the other person went until she heard a voice behind her.
"Mother Liu, what are you doing in a small place like ours in the middle of the night?"
Almost subconsciously, Mother Liu turned around and kicked out . The kick retained some force, but it was also intended to force Li Si to retreat.
"Bang!" A strong wind blew on the roof.
Li Si casually raised one hand to block the kick from Mother Liu. The scattered internal energy blew up the robes of the two people, but neither of them took a step back.
Under Li Si's feet, two pieces of green tiles were broken into several pieces, but he still smiled gently and stood firmly in place.
Mother Liu frowned, and finally retracted her kick at Li Si's hand and took half a step back.
"Humph, I was wondering when another master would appear in this small city of Mingzhou. It turns out to be you, the Thief Saint Li Si."
Her guess was not without reason. When Li Si fell behind her just now, she did not notice Li Si's presence until he spoke.
This is no joke . The victory or defeat between masters is often determined by a hair's breadth, let alone such a big mistake. If Li Si had made a move just now, she might have lost three moves by now.
Of course, she was not without a backup plan, but Li Si's unpredictable lightness skills were really a headache.
This is also the reason why she was able to guess Li Si's identity. There are not many people in this world who have such light functions. It is enough to just do a few simple elimination processes.
Moreover, the smile of the man in front of him was indeed annoying, just like what was rumored, with a sly look on his face.
"You're just joking. I'm not an expert at all. I'm just staying here temporarily." Li Si didn't know what Liu's mother thought of him. He just continued to smile, stood where he was, slowly put down his hands that were blocking his side and said.
Mother Liu looked at Li Si with cold eyes for a while, finally calmed down, stood up straight and said.
"No wonder Mingzhou City has been so unstable recently. It makes sense with a troublemaker like you here."
I don't know when it started, but there is a saying in the underworld that wherever Li Si goes, disaster will spread there. Because during the years when he was in the underworld, the storms in the underworld never stopped.
In this regard, Li Si could only say helplessly that when have those gangsters ever been obedient? It was just them who were making trouble. Please don't blame him for everything.
Li Si raised his eyes weakly, not paying attention to the sarcasm in Mother Liu's words. He just sighed and continued asking.
"So what exactly are you doing here today, Mama Liu?"
"Nothing special, I just came to find out your identity. Now that I have found out, I should leave. We are neighbors from now on, so we should get along well. By the way, can you please tell the old ghost down there that he should pay the debt he owed me at Wanhua Tower last time?"
After saying that, Mother Liu showed a smile that a brothel owner should have, twisted her waist and walked past Li Si, patted his shoulder and said.
"But don't think that this matter is over. Ziqing in our building is not a good person. You can only wish you good luck."
As someone who had almost watched Yan Ziqing grow up, Mother Liu naturally knew what Yan Ziqing's personality was like. This girl's desire for control was really too strong, and normal men simply couldn't stand her.
Mother Liu originally thought that although the rich businessman looked fat and big-eared, he was a good person with a gentle personality and fear of his wife. He also had no dirty money behind him. For a brothel girl, he was a good destination.
But who knew that things would turn out like this in the end, so she didn't plan to interfere and just let Yan Ziqing do what he wanted.
After saying this, Mother Liu didn't say anything else. She used her lightness skills to fly into the air and disappeared into the night.
There was still a slight scent of rouge and powder around Li Si. If the woman he had just met was not so fat, he would have been lucky to meet a beautiful lady tonight.
This old ghost Banjiexian has a really strong taste.
Thinking this inwardly, Li Si jumped back into the yard.
"So, what did she say to you?" asked Banjiexian who was standing aside.
He naturally knew who the person was. He could smell the strong scent of rouge from a long distance away.
"She asked you to settle the last credit as soon as possible. You can do it. You can even buy on credit when visiting a brothel."
As he spoke, Li Si glanced at the old man with disdain.
Hearing this, Hao Dayou, who was sitting next to the firewood pile, looked at Banjiexian with a strange expression.
"Ahem!" The old face of Banjiexian suddenly turned red.
"I didn't bring enough money last time. I told her I would pay her back next month. Why is she rushing me like that?"
She really doesn't give her man any face at all. Can she tell such a thing to outsiders?
