Chapter 4

Luo Sanrong led Li Yin through the rugged path. Li Yin kept complaining from behind: "I really don't understand why Ming An likes someone like you?"

"Ah? What?" Luo Sanrong didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, just leave quickly." Li Yin urged Luo Sanrong.

Luo Sanrong couldn't help but regret it. He just wanted to earn some extra money, but he didn't expect to get himself into trouble.

While walking along this familiar path, Luo Sanrong suddenly remembered that he had once been hung upside down and tied to a tree and threatened by a debt collector. Luo Sanrong suddenly came up with a good idea.

So, Luo Sanrong deliberately slowed down his pace, letting Li Yin walk ahead, and then, when he wasn't paying attention, pushed him down...

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but reveal a lewd smile.

Li Yin saw Luo Sanrong's silly smile and couldn't help but stepped forward and patted her shoulder. "What are you smiling at? Hurry and lead the way."

Luo Sanrong finally came to his senses and said, "It's okay, it's okay, let's go!"

After an incense stick of time, things turned out just as Luo Sanying had expected. However, she didn't expect that Li Yin, the bastard, would drag her into the trap.

Li Yin, who had fallen into the pit, reacted and grabbed Luo Sanrong's neck. "What are you doing? Why did you push me? Do you want to die?"

Luo Sanrong was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, his eyes wandering: "I...I...fell from such a high place, and you...are not hurt?"

"What are you talking about? Do you really want to die?" Li Yin said angrily.

Suddenly, Luo Sanrong looked at Li Yin's back and said in a trembling voice: "Snake...snake..."

Li Yin didn't take it seriously, thinking it was another lie from Luo Sanrong, until he really felt a soft animal crawling on his back... Li Yin looked back and saw a snake looking into his eyes... Li Yin let out a scream, and the birds in the trees flapped their wings and flew away when they heard the scream.

Another stick of incense burned, and Li Yin stood up to straighten his clothes. He said proudly, "Don't think that I will be grateful to you just because you helped me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing."

That's right, Luo Sanrong caught the snake with her bare hands and killed it in an extremely brutal way. Although, she is still in fear of killing a snake with her bare hands...

Li Yin shook the confused Luo Sanrong vigorously and said to her: "Lie down..."

Luo Sanrong finally came to his senses: "What?"

"You lie down, I will step on you, wait for me to get up, I will pull you up..." Li Yin explained.

"Then why don't I step on you, and then pull you up after I get up?" Luo Sanying questioned.

"Get down..." Li Yin threatened.

Luo Sanrong was speechless for a while, and his eyes were about to roll to the sky, but under the pressure of "power", he still lay down obediently.

However, what was unexpected was that as soon as Li Yin put one foot forward, Luo Sanying screamed and came into close contact with the ground. Li Yin had to stop his movements.

Luo Sanrong said in self-abandonment, "Don't struggle anymore, let's just stay here together. Someone will pass by eventually, so we can just wait here."

Li Yin was so angry at the "unambitious" prodigal in front of him that he could only rush towards the earthen wall of the pit like a mad monkey.

Luo Sanrong looked at the crazy monkey, trembling and hiding aside, not daring to breathe.

"You, lie down...I'll try again..." Li Yin instructed Luo Sanrong.

Luo Sanrong wanted to struggle and convince others with reason, but when she saw Li Yin's murderous look, she just lay down obediently.

Trying again, Li Yin became even more crazy. He didn't understand why a man could be so weak. Apart from his good-looking face, he had almost nothing else to offer.

Time passed minute by minute, and Li Yin suddenly grabbed Luo Sanying who was facing the wall to reflect on her mistakes, and held her in his arms. Their eyes met, and an ambiguous atmosphere spread.

Luo Sanrong thought that he was acting like an animal and wanted to struggle and resist.

Li Yin stopped her struggling and said to her loudly: "Stand still! If you don't stand still, how can I lift you up?"

Only then did Luo Sanrong realize that he was going to lift him up and make him stand still.

"Are you okay? Did you encounter anything?" Li Yin asked.

"No, it needs to go a little higher. No... No... No." Luo Sanying touched the edge of the pit hard.

Li Yin had a forbearing look on his face. "If I leave first, I will tear you into pieces and quarter you..."

"What?" Luo Sanrong asked in confusion.

"It's nothing. Is it enough? Is it still not enough?" Li Yin was even more forbearing.

"No, try harder... No... Still no..."

Li Yin had no choice but to lift Luo Sanrong up again. Finally, Luo Sanrong reached it and finally climbed out.

Li Yin also smiled: "Quick, find a branch and pull me up."

Luo Sanrong, who was lying outside the pit, gasped for breath. After hearing Li Yin's words, he looked into the pit with a smile, "Don't worry, I will find someone to rescue you right away. Just wait for me..."

Li Yin was stunned by her words. "No need. Just find a branch or vine."

Luo Sanying smiled but said nothing.

Li Yin continued, "Pull me out, and our grudge will be wiped out."

Luo Sanrong finally spoke, "Do you think I didn't hear you? I heard you say that if you leave, you will tear me into pieces and tore me apart..."

Li Yin smiled awkwardly: "I was just joking, just joking..."

Luo Sanying smiled but said nothing.

Li Yin said to Luo Sanrong outside the pit: "Do you know who I am? You dare to deceive me. If we meet again, I will kill your entire clan..."

Luo Sanrong didn't take his words seriously. "If we meet again, I'll let you do whatever you want. However, we probably won't meet again."

After saying that, he stood up, patted the hay on his body, and walked away, leaving the furious Li Yin cursing in the pit.

It was already evening, and Luo Sanrong was strolling down the street. Passersby turned to look at him with strange expressions. Luo Sanrong was puzzled and thought to herself, "Is there something wrong with my face? Why is everyone looking at me?"

When he reached the end of the alley, he discovered that there was a wanted poster for himself on the wall. There was a man standing next to him. It was the prime minister's son Ji Zeming, who was looking at the portrait on the wanted poster with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Ji Zeming looked at the portrait on the wall and found that it was the loving couple he saw when he got off the boat. The sight of the man taking such caring care of the woman left an impression in his mind.

Ji Zeming asked the people around him, "What crime did they commit that they are wanted for?"

The person next to her replied, "That woman was originally the daughter-in-law of a family. She eloped with a servant. It wasn't a glorious thing in the first place, but she had been a widow for ten years, and the county magistrate was about to grant her a chastity arch. Who would have thought that at the last minute, something like this would happen? The family was furious, so they reported it to the authorities, saying that the servant had kidnapped their daughter-in-law. The person next to her was said to be an accomplice in this "kidnapping."

After listening to this, Luo Sanrong murmured to himself: "Is she the daughter-in-law? Wasn't she said to be the young lady of the master's family?" Luo Sanrong patted his head quietly, and then he realized that he had been deceived.

Ji Zeming looked at Luo Sanrong, then at the wanted portrait on the wall, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

Soldiers on patrol happened to be passing by. Ji Zeming stopped them and pointed to the portraits of the "kidnapped" man and the "kidnapped" woman. "As far as I know, they have already escaped from Xia'an." He then pointed to the portrait of Luo Sanrong and asked the soldier, "What will happen if this person is caught?"

The soldier said casually: "We might report it to the authorities, but before they hand it over to the authorities, this family might..." The soldier made a gesture of cutting his neck with a knife.

Luo Sanrong couldn't help but explain, "This young lady... no... this lady must have experienced great grievances and dissatisfaction in this family, so she chose to run away with a servant whose status was not equal to hers. Otherwise, why would she run away when she was living a life of luxury?"

Ji Zeming couldn't help laughing when he saw Luo Sanrong explaining frantically in front of him, but he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

The soldier was already suspicious at this point: "Who are you, and how do you know so much?" The soldier looked at the portrait on the wanted list, then at Luo Sanrong, and couldn't help but step forward, "Turn your face around, turn around..."

Luo Sanrong never showed her face to the soldier. The soldier wanted to forcefully twist Luo Sanrong's face. Just as he was about to do so, Ji Zeming unexpectedly came back and hugged Luo Sanrong, blocking the soldier's view. He said to her in a gentle tone, "Why don't you catch up with me? Stop arguing with me."

Luo Sanrong was confused, but he glanced at the soldiers behind him and obediently followed Ji Zeming.

The soldier was speechless, thinking, now the love between Long Yang has become so shameless, hugging and kissing in public...
