Chapter 279 Confinement
Ye Li slowly opened her eyes, and felt a dull pain in the back of her head. She subconsciously moved her body, but found that she couldn't move. What happened? She tried to open her eyes wide and look around, but found that she couldn't even move her head.
"Mmm..." She wanted to shout, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't make any sound. Her tongue couldn't move.
What kind of place was this? She felt as if she were frozen, unable to move, only conscious, and her entire body felt an endless chill.
Wait, there's a ray of light ahead. Ye Li leaned forward slightly and looked towards the light. It turned out there was a cave here, and the scenery outside the cave looked so familiar! Isn't that my own tree house? It was already night, and the tree house was lit, bright and bright.
Strange, where is she now? Ye Li's mind was blank, not knowing what had happened.
Until she heard hurried footsteps not far away, and hurriedly ran into her tree house, "How is it? Any news about Ye Li?"
From the sound, it was news from Qi Yuanchuan. Then Ye Li saw Xiao Xun and Qi Yuanchuan walking out of the house, and the two of them were standing on the balcony talking.
Xiao Xun's voice was slightly anxious. "I've sent people to look for her, but there's still no news, and she hasn't come back. I should go look for her myself. I can't just sit at home and wait for news."
Qi Yuanchuan stopped him and said, "Think about the children first. You are the only person they are familiar with, and only you can comfort them. Leave the matter of finding Ye Li to me."
"I don't know who did it. The spy issue has clearly been dealt with, so how could this problem still arise?" Xiao Xun asked, "Has the Second Elder sent someone to inquire?"
"We did ask," Qi Yuanchuan said. "Li Yuan personally led people to interrogate him, even using whips. The Second Elder still said it wasn't him. I guess it was someone else."
Ye Li rolled her eyes and judged her location based on the situation outside. She could feel her heart beating, so she was not dead. This location was under a tree not far from her home.
Ye Li came to a conclusion that she was buried underground, and only her head was not buried with soil. Instead, something was used to block her head, so that Qi Yuanchuan and Xiao Xun who were not far away could not detect her existence.
Her body was in such a state, and she had been unconscious for so long. She was now tired and thirsty, but being trapped here made her feel even more tortured.
Who did this to her? Ye Li thought that the person who had deceived her was Li Sangtian's subordinate. She often saw him around Li Sangtian.
Could it be Li Sangtian? But what was Li Sangtian's reason for doing this? Was he coveting the position of Grand Elder? But we had worked together for so long, and Li Sangtian was not a greedy person at all. How could he do such a thing?
Or was it the Second Elder? But Qi Yuanchuan had just said that even after torturing the Second Elder, he still wouldn't confess. That wasn't the Second Elder.
Ye Li racked his brains but couldn't figure out who it was. The known enemies in the forest tribe had been eliminated long ago.
In the middle of the night, the lights in the tree house went out, and Xiao Xun took the children to bed.
Ye Li was not sleepy. She was in extreme anxiety. This situation made her mentally broken.
Not long after, the lights downstairs in the tree house came on again. Xiao Xun opened the door and walked out of the house. He leaned on the balcony railing, staring blankly in Ye Li's direction, not knowing what he was thinking.
