On a wilderness road in the mountains and forests, a woman was tied up with ropes. She was pale, her waist was bent so much that she couldn't straighten up, and she looked like she was about to fall down at any moment.
Although she was wearing only a farmer's coarse linen dress, her face was as beautiful as a lovely flower.
However, the man who was holding the rope and pulling the woman away had no mercy on her at all. When the woman was about to fall, he just snorted coldly, pulled the rope hard, and whipped the woman mercilessly with the whip in his hand.
"ah!"
Li Huashi, who was wearing a golden brocade dress, could not help but scream. Tears as big as beans fell from her eyes. Her tearful appearance made people feel distressed.
The kidnapper's hands holding the rope trembled in fear.
He used some tricks, it just looked scary, but the whip didn't really hit him...
And along the way, that is, now, at this moment, he received a message from the group that Li Xiangyi was coming, so he pretended to whip him.
But the master's acting skills were too good, and he was so scared that he wondered if he had accidentally hit the other person.
Seeing that Li Huashi did not threaten to go on strike, the 'kidnappers' decided to continue acting.
They have checked this road and found that it is the only way for Li Xiangyi to return, and Hu Qi also said that he would lead Li Xiangyi to this road.
The kidnapper shouted, "Go! Your father gave you to me as payment for the debt, so you deserve it even if I beat you to death!"
Li Huashi bit her trembling lower lip. Even though her tears kept falling, her eyes were stubborn and tenacious.
The kidnapper shouted angrily: "Hey! You dare to glare at me! I tell you, once you marry, you must obey your husband. From now on, I will be your heaven!"
As he said this, the kidnapper raised the whip he had taken away, ready to whip Li Huashi hard.
However, at the moment the whip fell, a sword blade swung directly and cut off the falling whip in an instant.
While the 'kidnapper' was stunned for a moment, a man in red cut the ropes that bound Li Huashi.
The kidnapper then reacted, looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him and yelled: "Who are you? How dare you interfere in my business! Do you want to die?"
As soon as the ropes were untied, Li Huashi immediately grabbed the sleeves of the man in red and hid behind him. She pleaded with a voice full of fear and sobs, "Please save me, sir."
The man in red turned his head to glance at Li Huashi: "Don't worry."
Li Huashi: Hiss... Isn't this guy too good looking?! The spirited young man exudes dazzling vigor from head to toe.
The best in the world, Li Xiangyi? Oh, if he didn't have someone in mind, I really would have been tempted.
However, no matter how good a man is, as long as he has someone in his heart, Li Huashi will not get involved with him.
Therefore, Li Huashi's attitude towards Li Xiangyi was just to admire his appearance.
Seeing that the man in red ignored him, the kidnapper instantly became furious, drew the dagger hanging at his waist and stabbed the man.
However, the man in red simply raised his right foot and kicked the "kidnapper" hard.
Then he kicked the 'kidnapper' several meters away.
"Ouch! Ouch! Just wait!"
The 'kidnapper' stood up and shouted, then ran away swiftly, saying something cruel before running away.
When Li Huashi saw the 'kidnapper' run away, she seemed to see hope, and her frail body trembled slightly, not knowing whether she was happy or afraid.
Li Huashi looked at the man in red with eyes full of gratitude, covering her mouth and sobbing: "Thank you so much, benefactor, thank you so much..."
Li Xiangyi nodded to Li Huashi, took out a purse from his arms, took out a silver ingot from the purse and handed it to Li Huashi.
Li Xiangyi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, young lady. Everything is fine now. Take this silver and go home."
Li Huashi did not take the silver. She knelt on the ground and begged the other party bitterly: "Please take me in, benefactor. I have nowhere to go. Since my mother passed away, no one has taken care of my father. He has become addicted to gambling and lost all the family property. Now, even if I go back and am not captured by the gangsters just now, my father will sell me to someone else next time. I am willing to serve you as a slave. Please save my life."
As Li Huashi spoke, she held on tightly to the other person's clothes.
Li Xiangyi was a little embarrassed: "Girl, it's not safe for you to follow me. I have encountered more than a dozen waves of people chasing me along the way."
Li Huashi shook her head: "My benefactor saved me, my life belongs to my benefactor, I am willing to die with my benefactor, but if I have to go back to my previous life, I would rather die now. If my benefactor does not want me, please grant me death."
Li Xiangyi frowned and said, "Your father is indeed a bit of a jerk. What's your name?"
Li Huashi's cheeks were already wet with tears. She said with a firm look, "From now on, I belong to you, my benefactor. Please give me a name."
Li Xiangyi looked at the woman in front of him. She was obviously very thin and pitiful, but her back was straight, just like... a white lotus that grew out of the mud without being stained.
Li Xiangyi helped Li Huashi up effortlessly, and then couldn't help frowning again.
I thought to myself: This person is too frivolous.
Li Xiangyi: "Ah... girl, get up. In that case, you will be called Bai Lian from now on. My name is Li Xiangyi, and I should be about the same age as you. Don't call me "benefactor". It makes me sound old."
Li Huashi was delighted and looked at Li Xiangyi with gratitude: "Thank you, sir!"
But I couldn't help but curse in my heart: This bastard is scolding me?
Li Huashi noticed that there was only one horse not far away, but she thought that it would take a day and a night to get to Sigumen even if she rode a horse.
Li Huashi's body swayed inadvertently, and she looked too weak to fall down.
Li Xiangyi quickly reached out to support Li Huashi: "What's wrong with you?"
Li Huashi raised her head pretending to be strong and gave Li Xiangyi a weak and bitter smile.
"It's okay, sir... I just traveled for a long time and didn't eat anything, so I'm a little dizzy. I'll be fine after a rest."
As she spoke, Li Huashi's legs went weak and she fell into Li Xiangyi's arms.
Li Huashi tried to stand up in panic, but perhaps because she was dizzy, she was still shaky even after trying hard to stand up.
Li Huashi was a little flustered, and her voice was filled with anxious tears: "Well, benefactor, I'm sorry..."
Li Xiangyi shook his head with amusement, then picked up Li Huashi.
Li Xiangyi placed the bewildered Li Huashi on the horse, and then mounted the horse himself.
Li Xiangyi: "There is an inn a few kilometers ahead. Let's stay there tonight and have something to eat."
Li Huashi apologized: "Sir, I am sorry to trouble you."
Li Xiangyi smiled indifferently: "You are too weak. You have to eat more and gain some weight in the future. Only then will you have a chance to repay me!"
Li Huashi nodded obediently: "I'll listen to you, Master."
