Chapter 71 Chapter 71 I'll Just Tell You
Zhou and Fu Wenxiao stood up at the same time.
Because he stood up too suddenly, Fu Wenxiao's body couldn't bear it and he swayed, and he held on to the table in time.
"Xiao brother!" Zhou was a little panicked, "Don't move, just sit there, I'll go take a look."
Fu Wenxiao hummed and said, "Mom, go over there quickly. She's drunk."
Drunk people are irrational and may even do many incredible things. Otherwise, he was worried that Yu Li would do something dangerous because drunk people often don't realize that it is dangerous.
Zhou responded hurriedly and ran out, picking up her skirt.
Fu Wenxiao stood for a while, leaning on the table, and then he relaxed for a while and walked towards the door.
Both children were a little confused. Holding the mooncakes in their hands, they looked at the two adults blankly. Then they put the mooncakes in their hands on the table and ran over to hold Fu Wenxiao's hand.
"Uncle, let us help you!"
Fu Wenxiao was a little anxious, but he didn't refuse the two children and took them with him.
Zhou opened the door and looked outside.
The moonlight is bright, and Qingshi Village is quiet and peaceful under the moonlight. You can hear some talking from neighbors in the distance and the laughter of children chasing and playing.
Zhou glanced outside and didn't see Yu Li.
She was very anxious and hurried out of the house, looking around for him while calling Yu Li's name.
Not long after, Fu Wenxiao walked to the door.
He held the door frame with one hand to relieve his physical discomfort. He saw Zhou looking around in front of the door, but there was no sign of Yu Li.
He sighed inwardly, she was moving too fast.
Zhou was very worried when she didn't see Yu Li nearby. She said anxiously to Fu Wenxiao who came to the door, "Xiao'er, I didn't see Li Niang. I don't know where she went."
Under normal circumstances she wouldn't be too worried, but now he is drunk. There is a river near Qingshi Village. What if he accidentally falls into the water?
The more I thought about her, the more worried I became. I really didn't know what to do.
Fu Wenxiao was about to speak when his expression suddenly froze.
He slowly walked out of the Fu family's gate and looked at a tree not far away, where a person was sitting.
Under the moonlight, her figure almost blended with the tree. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't notice her for a moment.
Zhou followed his gaze and soon saw Yu Li's figure.
She was so shocked, "How did Li Niang climb up there?"
The tree was quite tall, about 20 feet high, and the branches at the top were very thin. How did she sit on it without breaking the branches and falling down? Was it because she was very thin?
Fu Wenxiao walked slowly under the tree and looked at the person sitting on the tree.
He stared at her for a long time and said gently, "Li Niang, can you come down?"
The person sitting in the tree was a little slow to react and looked down at him.
He stood in the moonlight, wearing a plain blue robe, with an upright posture. He had the elegance of a gentleman like jade, and the coolness of the snow on Lonely Mountain. He seemed like an elegant and peerless nobleman walking on the moon. The smile on his face was gentle, making the moonlight seem gentle.
It's a pity that drunk people don't know how to appreciate such a handsome man.
She tilted her head and looked at him for a moment, as if to confirm his identity, and said, "I don't!"
Fu Wenxiao: "..."
Fu Wenxiao laughed, knowing that he couldn't communicate normally with a drunkard, so he asked patiently, "What are you doing up there?"
Zhou didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of scaring the person to fall down.
She held the hands of the two children and retreated to the door, letting Fu Wenxiao negotiate with the drunkard on the tree, hoping that he would quickly persuade him to come down.
If you fall from such a tall tree, you will definitely get hurt.
"To see the scenery." Yu Li answered truthfully, "It's very high here, and we can see very far."
Fu Wenxiao was slightly surprised and asked, "Is the scenery beautiful?"
Yu Li nodded: "It looks good!"
With a slightly deeper smile on his lips, Fu Wenxiao continued, "Li Niang, I want to see it too."
Yu Li looked at him again and rejected him with disgust, "No, you are too weak, you can't climb up."
Fu Wenxiao: "..."
Fu Wenxiao felt that ever since he met this girl named Yu Li, he was often left speechless by her, and his previous eloquence was completely useless in front of her.
He took a deep breath and used his trump card: "Li Niang, you haven't finished eating your mooncakes yet. If you don't eat them, someone will eat them!"
Sure enough, the expression on her face changed, and she seemed a little hesitant.
Fu Wenxiao continued, "And your sugar cakes, your peaches, your..."
The next moment, a man jumped down from the tree and landed lightly in front of him.
Zhou on the other side screamed and was almost frightened.
The two children did not realize how dangerous this action was. Their eyes were shining and their little mouths were crying.
My little aunt can really fly, that’s amazing!
Yu Li jumped down from the tree and said to Fu Wenxiao with some concern: "You are not allowed to eat my mooncakes."
"I don't want to eat!" Fu Wenxiao said good-temperedly.
Yu Li nodded with satisfaction and pulled him towards home. Fu Wenxiao was caught off guard and staggered when she pulled him. He almost fell, but she reached out and held his waist in time to support him.
"Fu Wenxiao, you're so weak!" she muttered, "You can't even walk properly..."
Fu Wenxiao closed his eyes, his voice still very gentle, and apologized to her sincerely: "I'm sorry."
Yu Li looked at him in confusion, "Why do you want to apologize? Your body is weak, and it's not your will. Something has destroyed the vitality in your body and wants you to die, right?"
Fu Wenxiao's pupils trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.
"You are so pitiful." Yu Li said calmly, not out of sympathy for him, but a simple and straightforward statement.
He couldn't even go out of the door and was trapped in a small room. He couldn't eat or sleep well and was waiting for death silently. Isn't that pitiful?
Fu Wenxiao remained silent.
At this time, she added: "But you will be fine, I will make you better."
Fu Wenxiao finally turned to look at her. Under the moonlight, he showed a nice smile and said, "Well, I believe you!"
She looked satisfied. "You really should trust me!"
When Zhou saw Yu Li pulling Fu Wenxiao back, she even slowed down to cooperate with him, and couldn't stop smiling.
She was a sensible person, so she quickly took the two children home and didn't disturb them.
By the time Yu Li and Fu Wenxiao returned to the yard and sat down, Zhou had already returned to her room with the two children.
Although the moon-viewing ceremony has not yet ended, why bother appreciating the moon now? Let’s make room for them and let the two children develop some feelings first.
The moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month is so round and the atmosphere is so good. It is easy for young men and women to develop feelings for each other.
Yu Li picked up a mooncake and took a bite. Then he realized what was happening and asked dully, "Where are mother, Yan Hui, Yan Sheng and the others?"
"They went back to their room to rest." Fu Wenxiao said.
Yu Li said, "Everything on the table is mine."
Fu Wenxiao laughed and said softly, "Well, they are all yours."
Drunk people are unreasonable, but Yu Li looks like he is not drunk. Not only is he reasonable, he also looks sober.
If it weren't for the abnormal redness on her cheeks under the moonlight, he really thought she was not drunk.
Maybe being drunk doesn't affect her thinking logic, she just does something different from ordinary people, but that's fine as long as it's not dangerous to her.
Yu Li ate the mooncakes bite by bite, and the mooncakes on the table disappeared at a rapid speed.
Even though he had seen how much she ate, Fu Wenxiao was still a little worried and said, "Li Niang, don't eat too much, or you'll upset your stomach."
"No!" Yu Li said seriously, "I lost my superpowers to you twice today. I was hungry the whole time."
The superpowers consume too much physical strength and energy, and can only be replenished through food.
There is no way. The magnetic field of this world is normal. There is no special magnetic field for the cultivation of superpowers. The only way to replenish superpowers is to get food.
Fu Wenxiao was stunned, realizing that she had revealed her biggest trump card to him.
It turns out that the thing that can heal his body is called supernatural power.
He didn't know what superpowers were, and could only guess from the surface meaning of the two words that it should be some kind of magical thing, and that it was something she possessed, and only she had it.
This thing should be used with great restrictions, otherwise she wouldn't need to eat so much.
It is not omnipotent. Just look at these two days. She can only transfer her supernatural powers to him twice a day to know the result.
So she should be some talented person who was resurrected as Yu Li of Qingshi Village.
Fu Wenxiao watched her eating like a little squirrel. He found her adorable but also a little worried.
"Li Niang, don't tell others about your supernatural powers casually in the future." He was worried that she would get drunk one day and unconsciously reveal this thing.
He never underestimated the ugliness and darkness in people's hearts, and he didn't want her to become the target of public criticism one day.
Yu Li tilted his head to look at him and said as a matter of course: "Of course I won't tell anyone else, I'm not stupid!"
Fu Wenxiao only felt his heart skip a beat, his face began to feel hot, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
So, she just told him?
"I'm just telling you." She picked up a peach and said as she ate it, "You are not someone else."
Fu Wenxiao looked at her in a daze. He never knew that language was such a wonderful thing and that a person could say so many sweet words that made him happy.
Yu Li continued, "You are so weak, you definitely can't beat me! And I saved your life, you have to repay me by making money for me to spend."
Fu Wenxiao: "..."
He was so weak that he couldn't beat her, and she could control him at any time. Even if she let him know, she wasn't worried.
She saved his life, he made money for her to spend, and helped her adapt to the world, so it was okay for her to tell him.
Fu Wenxiao was silent for a moment, then smiled and said gently, "Well, you saved my life, and I will listen to you from now on."
It doesn't matter, since she chose him anyway.
In this world, he is the only one closest to her.
Yu Li ate up all the food on the table.
Then she stood up and walked toward the courtyard wall.
Fu Wenxiao's eyelids jumped. Was she trying to climb over the wall again? He quickly called out, "Mother Li, where are you going?"
Yu Li stopped and turned around and said, "I'm full, I'm going to do something."
"What are you doing?" Fu Wenxiao stood up with the help of the table and walked towards her.
Yu Li stood there quietly, waiting for him to come over, and said, "I won't tell you yet. I'll tell you tomorrow."
Fu Wenxiao: "..."
Fu Wenxiao confirmed once again that she was very drunk.
He sighed, knowing that he couldn't stop a drunkard with super strong force, so he had to say: "Li Niang, don't do anything dangerous, be careful."
"There's no danger!" said Yu Li.
"I mean, stay away from the water and don't fall into it." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Don't fall either."
Yu Li responded and then climbed over the wall to go out.
Fu Wenxiao: “…” Why do I have to climb over the wall? I can just go through the door.
Standing in the moonlight, Fu Wenxiao looked at the courtyard wall.
The Fu family's courtyard wall was built very high, about ten feet high, and most people couldn't really climb over it. When the house was first built, such a high wall was built mainly because of their special circumstances, in order to prevent scoundrels and some people with bad intentions from climbing over the wall to get in.
But this wall seemed like nothing to her and she climbed over it easily.
After a while, Fu Wenxiao smiled.
He felt that tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival was probably the most unique festival he had ever experienced in his life, and one he would never forget.
fine.
"Xiao brother."
Zhou came out of the house and saw Fu Wenxiao standing alone in the yard. She asked, "Where is Li Niang?"
Fu Wenxiao said: "She went out."
"Ah?" Zhou was stunned for a moment, then asked worriedly, "He went out again? Did he go climbing trees again?"
Fu Wenxiao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
But this time, they were not too worried.
I went out to look for her immediately because I was afraid that she would do something dangerous while drunk. What if she was unconscious and fell into the river?
But they had just confirmed that although she was drunk, her logic was clear and she looked reliable - apart from climbing over the wall, she would not do anything dangerous.
Don't worry too much.
Zhou could only sigh and said, "Well, since Li Niang has left, we can only wait for her to come back on her own."
Having just witnessed how skillfully Yu Li climbed over the wall, she realized how powerful Li Niang was. As long as she didn't do anything dangerous, no one should be able to hurt her.
Zhou turned to Fu Wenxiao and said, "Brother Xiao, you are not feeling well. Go back and have a rest. Don't stay up late."
She was afraid that Fu Wenxiao would have to wait for Yu Li to come back before he could go to sleep, and she didn't know when that would be.
Although Fu Wenxiao's health seemed to be much better recently, which made her very happy, she did not dare to let him stay up late.
Fu Wenxiao was silent, then nodded.
He knew that his body, although it had improved, was still in a weak state. He had been standing here for so long that the familiar pain began to spread again, as if seeping out from the cracks between his bones, making it difficult for him to stand.
He closed his eyes, endured the familiar pain, and slowly walked back to the room.
**
The county town is also very lively on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival.
Since General Xuan was sent here and stationed nearby ten years ago, Shanping County has gradually stopped imposing a curfew, and even the city gates are not closed at night.
During every festival, the county town holds a lantern festival. Many villagers from nearby villages come to the county town specifically to see the lanterns. They do not go home at night and stay overnight at relatives' homes in the county town.
Wu Shouzi and others were not interested in lanterns, so they got together to drink during this rare festival.
When they got drunk, they forgot all their worries and started to gamble.
A group of people gathered under the banyan tree at the entrance of Luoyu Lane. The shouts of gambling could be heard from far away. Passers-by knew that these idlers were not easy to mess with, so they avoided them from a distance.
Everyone was gambling enthusiastically when a figure appeared behind them like a ghost and kicked Wu Shouzi's raised butt.
Wu Shouzi cried out, rushed forward and hit the tall student opposite him.
In an instant, a group of people fell to the ground, screaming in anger.
They turned their heads and looked over with drunken eyes, but when they saw the person bathed in the moonlight, they sobered up instantly.
"Leave, leave, leave the boss!"
The drunks were so scared that they started burping and stood up in a panic, wishing they could straighten their limp legs.
The drunkards sobered up a little and looked at Yu Li with fear.
They thought sadly, it was the holiday, why didn't the boss go home to celebrate with his family, but instead came to the county town? Was he here specifically to find something to hold against them?
This time she saw them gambling together again, and they could not escape a beating.
Yu Li looked at them expressionlessly, glanced over and pointed at the shortest and thinnest person.
"You, come here."
Seeing that slender white finger pointing at him, Wu Shouzi sobered up a little and started burping with fear.
He stammered: "Li Li Li..."
Yu Li was impatient, "Li what? Your tongue is sticking out!"
"Li Boss!" Wu Shouzi's tongue straightened instantly, and he shrank his neck and walked in front of her fearfully, "What do you want?"
Yu Li said: "Follow me!"
Wu Shouzi: “…”
Wu Shouzi didn't dare to resist and could only follow Yu Li in great sorrow.
The others stared at them blankly, and after a long while, their alcohol-corrupted brains finally became a little clearer.
They looked at each other, and someone asked hesitantly, "Well, where is Boss Li taking Skinny?"
She saw them gambling, but she didn't beat them?
It's amazing!
"Were they taking him to bury him?" the timid Li Wulang said pessimistically.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gao Sheng slapped him on the head. "If Boss Li really wants to bury him, there's no reason for him to let us go. He will definitely bury us together."
"I guess something happened."
Everyone thought hard with their confused brains for a while and felt that what he said made sense.
They were soon reassured.
As long as the boss doesn't get angry and beat them up, we can deal with the rest tomorrow.
Gao Sheng waved his hand and said, "Alright, all of you go away, hurry up and go home to sleep!"
After the scare just now, they no longer had any intention of gambling. They were just afraid that Yu Li would come back with a surprise attack and scare them to death.
Let’s go quickly.
**
Wu Shouzi didn't know where Yu Li was taking him, so he followed her. The night wind made him feel much more awake.
After walking like this for a while, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Boss Li, where are we going?"
Yu Li said nothing and continued walking forward.
She walked so fast that Wu Shouzi had to run to keep up with her. He was out of breath and his chest was burning with pain. He didn't know how such a thin person could walk so fast? She walked faster than she ran.
When he was about to run out of breath, Yu Li finally stopped.
Yu Li said: "You wait!"
Wu Shouzi was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, he saw her disappear in a flash. He was immediately startled.
Wu Shouzi looked around and found that they had come to an alley. The alley was narrow and quiet, and only a little moonlight could seep in, making the place seem gloomy and eerie.
Before he could remember where this alley was, he heard a woman screaming from a house next door.
Wu Shouzi subconsciously turned his head towards the sound and saw someone climbing over the wall.
It’s Yu Li!
Just as Wu Shouzi was about to call her, he discovered that Yu Li was holding a disheveled man in his hands.
In the moonlight, he immediately recognized the man as the yamen runner named Ge.
What was going on? Why did Boss Li come to Ge Yayi in the middle of the night? Was he going to beat him up?
At this time, hurried footsteps came from the house next door, and then a woman with a graceful figure and charming demeanor opened the door.
Seeing the three people outside the door, she asked in shock and fear: "What are you doing?"
The yamen runner Ge was also frightened. He looked at Wu Shouzi, then at Yu Li, and hurriedly said to the woman, "Mrs. Wen, it's okay. I know her."
Wen Niang looked at Yu Li suspiciously, with suspicion clearly on her face.
Even if he was someone she knew, he couldn't just break into her house and kidnap Ge the yamen runner, right?
God knows, she was drinking with Ge Yayi at that time. Xiaoyi gently coaxed the man into a state of confusion. When they were about to get to the point, the girl suddenly rushed in, scaring her so much that her face turned pale, and Ge Yayi also fainted on the spot.
Then, the girl picked up the wilted Ge yamen runner and ran away over the wall.
Ge Yayi was also a little upset at this time. How could he know why Yu Li came to him?
Besides, how did she know she was here?
If he knew that Yu Li had gone to his house before, learned from his family that he was not at home, went to find Zhu the yamen runner, and then learned from Zhu the yamen runner that he was here, it would not be surprising.
Because of what happened last night, in order to express his apology, the yamen runner Zhu asked Wen Niang to serve him all night. Of course, the yamen runner Ge was very happy to do so.
Although his injuries had not healed yet, it did not stop him from seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and enjoying Wen Niang's gentle care.
Such a good opportunity was gone just like that. Ge Yayi found it hard to accept it, but he had to accept it.
It was such a miserable feeling.
Yu Li ignored Wen Niang and said to Ge Yayi: "Let's go!"
Ge Yayi hurriedly put on his messy clothes and asked, "Where are you going?"
Of course, he didn't get an answer, because Yu Li had already turned and left.
Wu Shouzi and Ge Yayi both knew how powerful she was, so they dared not disobey her and quickly followed her footsteps.
In the end, only Wen Niang was left standing at the door, staring blankly at the three people leaving.
She was completely confused, not knowing who the girl was and why Ge Yayi followed her after being treated like that by her? When the girl came in earlier, she took a look and found that she was an extremely pretty young lady, whose skin was so white that it almost glowed under the light.
Ge Yayi actually knows such a beautiful girl?
With such a beautiful and young lady, why did Ge Yayi come to find me?
But thinking about how the girl just picked up Ge Yayi like a package and was able to carry him over the wall, it was obvious that she was not an ordinary person. I was afraid that Ge Yayi would not dare to have any other thoughts.
After the person disappeared, Wen Niang closed the door with doubts.
Forget it, let them go. It doesn't matter if one Ge yamen runner is missing. I'll ask Zhu yamen runner to come over tomorrow and ask him about the situation.

Yu Li brought the two of them to a secluded place under the city wall.
The two looked at her in confusion, wondering why she brought them here.
The next moment, the two men were grabbed by her collars from behind, and then they found that their bodies were suspended in the air - no, they were lifted into the air by her.
She seems to be able to fly over rooftops and walls!
The two of them clearly felt that she was carrying them, pushing off the city wall and climbing up, and they easily flipped over the wall.
The city wall seemed to be just a decoration.
When their legs touched the ground, the two men reacted belatedly and let out short cries.
"Shut up!" Yu Li yelled.
The scream choked in their throats, and the two of them closed their mouths silently and looked at her in horror.
In the middle of the night, she did not go out through the city gate, but suddenly carried them out over the wall and brought them to such a deserted corner. It was hard for them not to think of the possibility of "murder to silence them".
She wasn't really going to kill them, was she?
Yu Li turned around and looked at them, and said to Ge Yayi: "Where are the bandits nearby?"
Ge Yayi: "..."
He was stunned at first, and then his face was full of disbelief. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. On this great holiday, you actually want to go find bandits? What do you want to do with them? Do you still want to fight bandits?
When Wu Shouzi heard this, he suddenly thought of something and regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
He shouldn't talk so much during the day!
She actually listened to his words and now wants to suppress the bandits... Although you are very powerful, suppressing bandits is the responsibility of the government, not yours!
"Boss Li..." Wu Shouzi said in a low voice, "You don't want to go and suppress the bandits, do you? The government is here, you don't have to worry about it..."
Upon hearing this, Ge Yayi was not shocked and agreed, "Yes, yes, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing!"
Yu Li frowned and said righteously: "All factors that threaten human survival should be eliminated!"
They both: “…”
What is she talking about? What is meant by "factors that threaten human survival"?
Are they the bandits in the mountains? Are the humans referring to the common people?
Yu Li had a blank expression on his face and asked them to quickly point out a direction.
The two men had no choice but to resist her. They could only put on bitter faces and let Ge, the yamen runner, point them in a direction.
Ge Yayi knew exactly where the bandits were nearby, and the government officials also knew about it.
Although they knew it, the cost of suppressing the bandits was too high. Shanping County was just a county town, and there was a fixed number of weapons in the county town. With the number of manpower, weapons, etc. in the county town, there was no way to successfully suppress those bandits.
Therefore, as long as the bandits do not go too far, the government generally does not intervene.
Ge Yayi also said: "It's getting late now. If we walk there, I'm afraid we won't get there until daybreak. In this way..."
After daybreak, those bandits will be difficult to deal with.
He knew that Yu Li was very strong, but no matter how strong she was, she was just one person. She would definitely suffer if she faced those vicious bandits. The most important thing was that if he went with her, he would not be able to escape if something happened!
Yu Li got the direction and led the two of them out.
They both: “…”
