Seven was somewhat surprised by this scene; this Brother Liu was quite clever.
But that would make it difficult for me to escape.
Sure enough, a short while later, Liu's two henchmen locked the three of them in a room next door.
The room next door is much better than this one; it has a heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed). Now that the kang is lit, the room is much warmer.
The three of them huddled on the kang (a heated brick bed). Although there were no blankets, the temperature was so comfortable that they didn't want to get up.
The two men were untied a moment later, said the henchman who had thrown them in.
"Don't think nonsense here. Just stay here obediently. Our boss only cares about money, not people."
Just then, Seven suddenly got up and said.
"Tell your older brother to let me write a letter to my dad."
If my dad knew I was in your hands, he would definitely give you money.
"Don't even mention 10,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan is no problem."
The only way to get in touch with their father is to hope that the three of them will be rescued. Their father probably never imagined that they would be dumped in such a freezing place.
Now we must show my father a way.
The young man was stunned for a moment, but when he heard that it was 100,000 yuan, he was tempted.
Just then, Li Shuyun pounced on her.
He grabbed Seven's neck tightly.
"You're talking nonsense. Why would your dad give you so much money?"
Your dad has no money at all; he's a penniless wretch.
"And I paid money to take your life, and you still want to find your father? Dream on."
“You must die here. Ouyang Zhenyu has ruined me like this, and you still want to live? You’re dreaming.”
Seven was being pinched so hard his eyes rolled back, and just then a clap of thunder suddenly came from the sky.
The henchman standing to the side saw a loud cracking sound from the roof, and then the woman in front of him immediately collapsed to the ground.
Her hair was all frizzy, she was foaming at the mouth, and she was convulsing on the ground, while the girl that the woman was choking was perfectly fine.
The little guy lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) coughing for a long time.
Qi Zai touched his neck. This woman was really going all out. If he hadn't thrown out the lightning-attracting talisman in a moment of panic, she would have strangled him to death.
My younger brother was terrified. He'd never seen anything like it before—a bolt of lightning suddenly striking down in broad daylight.
He touched his neck, then turned and ran to the next room. He didn't need to report it; Brother Liu and his men had already come out. With such loud thunder, even a fool would come out.
He asked the younger brother who was rushing out in a hurry.
"What's wrong? What happened again?"
The younger brother pointed into the room and stammered,
"Brother, that woman almost strangled that brat to death just now."
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the woman, knocking her to the ground.
Brother Liu slapped his underling on the head.
"What nonsense are you spouting? There's no thunder in broad daylight!"
"I'm not lying. You all heard it just now. Could that sound be normal?"
The other henchmen looked at each other, feeling the sound was like thunder.
When everyone entered the house, they saw that Li Shuyun was indeed lying unconscious on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Meanwhile, He Xincheng, who was standing next to him, was terrified and hid in the corner, a world away from Qi Zai.
Qi Zai sat innocently in the middle of the kang (a heated brick bed), watching all of this unfold.
Upon seeing Brother Liu, he had no choice but to speak, saying with a smile.
"Brother, instead of waiting for them to pay, why don't you call my dad? If he knew I was in your hands, he would definitely send you the money."
I'm still quite valuable.
When Brother Liu heard what the child said, his lips twitched. This was hardly a four-and-a-half-year-old child.
What four-and-a-half-year-old child could say something like that?
I had no choice but to step forward and examine Li Shuyun's eyelids. Sure enough, she had been struck by lightning.
You can tell from the hair and the black smoke coming out of his mouth.
"Please let me out! Please let me out! He's a monster. I don't want to be locked up with him."
He Xincheng was terrified. He looked at Qi Zai as if he were a monster, mainly because the lightning bolt from earlier was too frightening.
Even a normal person wouldn't understand why the lightning only struck Li Shuyun, but didn't affect Qi Zai at all.
Brother Liu slapped the deranged He Xincheng across the face.
"Can't you be a little more clear-headed and calmer?"
What kind of monster? Are you out of your mind?
You're supposed to be a cultured person, but you've learned so much for nothing. Even a roughneck like me knows there are no monsters out there.
Stay put!
If you dare to misbehave again, I'll throw you into the pigsty.
He turned to Qi Zai and said...
"Little brat, come on. You wanted to call your dad, but there's no phone. However, you can write him a letter."
I'll have someone send it to your father. As long as your father sends me the money, I'll release you immediately.
We'll feed you the best food and drink; you're practically our god of wealth.
They had naturally investigated the kid's family situation.
The little brat's father is the hospital director; he must be rich.
They were originally planning to get some money out of Ouyang Zhenyu, but they didn't expect this kid to be so cooperative.
The little kid ate his fill, finishing a big bowl of hot noodles that even had two eggs in it.
Although the noodles weren't very tasty, after being hungry for several meals, Qi Zai ate them with relish, leaving not a single drop of soup.
After eating and drinking his fill, Qi Zai began writing a letter to his father.
To be precise, he was only four and a half years old, how could he possibly write? So he just scribbled a bunch of characters on the paper.
Upon seeing what he had drawn, Brother Liu's lips twitched.
"What is this thing? Will your dad even recognize it?"
Seven patted his chest and said.
"Don't worry, Uncle, if you give this to my dad, he'll be able to tell that it was drawn by me, which will prove that it's in your hands."
"You'll find out if you write another letter to my father."
"You're quite clever, kid. You're such a small child, yet you know you can't write it yourself and want me to write it. Fine, fine."
The letters were written, put together, and handed to his men, some of whom knew someone at the post office.
The post office stamp needs to be placed in a more distant location, so even if Ouyang Zhenyu uses his own methods, he absolutely cannot trace it back to this place.
This is also why Brother Liu dares to be arrogant; it's because they have connections on the inside that make things easier.
The letter has been sent.
On this freezing cold day, He Xincheng looked at Li Shuyun, who was lying unconscious beside him.
I was both shocked and frightened.
Qi Zai ate and drank in the house, sometimes wanting roasted sweet potatoes, sometimes roasted yams.
I might even order shredded potatoes for lunch.
To say their demands were excessive is an overstatement, since they didn't ask for chicken, duck, fish, or meat. To say their demands weren't excessive is an overstatement, yet they ended up being completely bossed around.
