tick.

The sound of dripping water occasionally came to his ears, Fang Su slowly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he had a splitting headache and blurred vision. After a long while, the intertwined and swaying scenes in his eyes overlapped together. The surrounding light was dim, and he distinguished it carefully, as if he was in a cave.

The rock wall in the cave was dripping slightly, and the air was damp and cold. No wonder he felt the slightest chill in the midsummer.

Fang Su recalled for a while, he was clearly in the Tang Palace's main courtyard not long ago.

At that time, Tang Qiaoyuan and Bai Ping left. He sat alone under the tree and waited, closing his eyes and resting, just like he was unprepared.

At some point, he vaguely noticed someone beside him.

Before opening his eyes to see, Fang Su suddenly smelled a pungent odor, and then his whole body became weak and quickly lost consciousness.

-Wake up again at this time, and you are already in an unfamiliar place.

Outside the cave, human voices could be vaguely heard, and Fang Su knew that he must have been kidnapped by the wicked. He sat up, looked around, and found that he had nowhere to hide. This cave is very shallow, but the interior is spacious and open. If someone stands at the entrance of the cave and looks at it, no matter where the person in the cave hides, he will not be able to escape his sight.

Unable to hide, and not knowing how to escape, Fang Su looked up at the light pouring in from the entrance of the cave, with a heavy heart, feeling that she was more fortunate than fortunate.

Drugged, and still a little weak, Fang Su sat with his back against the icy rock wall to stimulate himself and wanted to be more awake. How could someone just find a place that wasn't too humid when someone walked in from outside the cave.

"Yo, wake up." The man turned his head and called, "Big brother, I woke up!"

He shouted here, and some people walked in from outside. The man wanted to look even stronger, he frowned deeply after looking at Fang Su, and complained impatiently, "Damn...how did you wake up so quickly, second child, what kind of drug did your mother buy? ?"

"It's the same," the man who was called the second child laughed "hehe", obviously without any confidence, and deliberately flattered and flattered, "Why buy such an expensive one? It's not the same to steal people..."

The boss glared at him angrily, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and walked straight to Fang Su.

Fang Su was startled and stepped back until there was no gap left between the rock wall and the rock wall. Finally, she had to stop and forcefully looked at the approaching person.

The man squatted down, raised his face with rough palms on his chin, and threatened: "If you don't want to suffer more, be honest, I can make you die happier."

Fang Su listened to what he meant, and was relieved to take his own life, but calmed down and asked, "Have you and I ever had any grudges?"

The person in front of him stared at him indifferently. Although he was cold-blooded, there was no hatred in his expression. He should not be an enemy, not to mention that he had never had a grudge against anyone before.

Fang Su thought about it, and couldn't help but tentatively ask: "Are you from Qin Meiguan?"

The man gave a deep laugh, but still didn't answer, letting go of his shackles.

The jaw was pinched so painfully, Fang Su listened to the sneer and almost confirmed the answer in his heart.

On the other hand, the other person looked stupid. Seeing this, he burst into laughter and said proudly, "Brother, he's quite smart!"

"Stop talking shit!"

The eldest roared, and the second hurriedly smiled and nodded, and asked, "Brother, when are we going to do it?"

"Wait a minute, Qin Meiguan still owes the three of us a lot of money, and I will wait until the third one comes with the money."

"But eldest brother, didn't she say that you can get the money only after the work is done?" The second child asked again, "I also took a sum beforehand, this is the rule."

"Fuck the rules," the boss stood up and walked back to his original place. He turned his eyes in disgust and said angrily, "Who is Tang Qiaoyuan? It's only been half a day, and the city of Linzhou has been turned over and over again. , Do you think we can get out of the city alive if we use our hands and then go back to get the money? This time, it's a really life-threatening business, who the **** still obeys the rules!"

The second child suddenly realized and nodded in agreement.

The conversation between the two was heard by Fang Su, Fang Su kept calm, but secretly had a little more hope in his heart, and when he heard Tang Qiaoyuan was trying to find him, even though he wanted to survive for many times in his life, I just thought that I must live and not let that person down...

At the same time, there was indeed a very uneasy scene in Linzhou City.

Most of Tang Qiaoyuan's subordinates were fierce and evil characters. They were divided into several groups, so how could they take care of others' cleanliness, and they completely destroyed the whole city. It is a pity that despite this, no one has found any trace of Fang Su.

Tang Qiaoyuan personally searched for the horse for a long time, and he also ran several times to the green hills outside the city, but the mountains were connected, and the mountain roads were twists and turns.

The setting sun is approaching, and most of the things that cannot be seen in this world happen in the dark and windy night. This person is only afraid that the sky will be dark, and Fang Su will be more dangerous.

Tang Qiaoyuan's eyes were full of blood, and he did not dare to think deeply about Fang Su's current situation, fearing that thinking too much would cause his mind to collapse. He was so anxious that he could only laugh at what he said when he said that love will grow over time, but he has never forgotten everything.

No matter what the cause, Fang Su has been the most in his heart from the very beginning. Once it is in his heart, it cannot be erased. This is the person he has rooted in his heart. If something goes wrong, Tang Qiaoyuan doesn't know how to face it. right…

- The more you think about it, the more confused your mind will be.

The horses hoofed endlessly, stepping randomly in the mountains.

At first the man on the horse would pull the reins to lead the way, but later he was almost numb, staring blankly ahead, until the tired horse knew the way and took him back to the city on his own.

At the gate of Tang Mansion, Bai Ping has been anxiously waiting for news from all parties. After so long, she didn't hear any reassuring words, but when Tang Qiaoyuan returned in a slump, she hurriedly stepped forward to pull her horse.

Tang Qiaoyuan came back to his senses, rolled over to the ground, and asked with only a little hope, "Is there any news?"

Bai Ping was so distressed, she frowned and shook her head.

Tang Qiaoyuan's Adam's apple trembled a few times, and then he rebuked himself in a low voice: "I left him in the courtyard twice, and I killed him both times. I can't keep him safe even in Tang Mansion..."

Bai Ping didn't know what to say, so she could only try her best to comfort her: "Don't worry, the village owner, my wife will be safe and sound, and I'm still searching for it in the city."

Tang Qiaoyuan raised his eyes.

"What about the people outside the city?"

Bai Ping shook her head: "I'm still looking for it."

"Only a few people are left in the city, and the rest go outside the city. The mountain roads outside are complicated, and more people can find them more carefully."

Bai Ping was blessed, and hurriedly passed on the man's orders, and ordered people to rush out of the city quickly. After the arrangements were made, he hesitated to speak, trying to persuade Tang Qiaoyuan to return to the mansion to have a meal and rest, but just as he called out "Villager", he heard trembling voices behind him.

Bai Ping turned around and saw that the one who came to look for her was one of the two new little girls who came a few days ago. The girl had fear in her eyes, and cautiously saluted, "Zhuang Zhu, sister Bai Ping..."

"What's the matter?" Bai Ping asked.

The maid didn't dare to raise her head and replied timidly, "Sister Bai Ping, in fact, before Miss Biao was locked up... slaves... slaves saw her in the west of the city... She was talking to three people in the alley at that time, and one of them The slave and maid recognize it as Li ruffian from the west..."

Bai Ping was stunned when she heard it, and couldn't help but angrily said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! I told you that when you see Qin Meiguan do anything, let me know, where did you hear it?!"

The maid immediately fell to her knees in fright and begged: "Sister Bai Ping atonement...it's a cowardly servant... The servant's family is in the west of the city, I'm afraid that I will be bullied by Li ruffian, so I don't dare to say anything..."

Bai Ping was about to get angry, but Tang Qiaoyuan stretched out his hand to stop her, bent over and pulled the maid up from the ground, suppressing the impetuousness in his heart, and asked, "What else?"

The maid shook her head.

The man patiently asked: "Think about it again, if the three of them kidnapped his wife, where would they take him? Just say, your family will never be threatened. If you can find your wife, I will what your family wants."

The maid was appeased by this, nodded and tried her best to think, but because she was still a little scared, her thoughts were confused, and after a long while, she answered with great uncertainty: "It's always outside the city... The slave only knows that the three of Li ruffians earn money. When I have money, I will buy wine and meat and go to the mountains outside the city to eat and drink all night... The reason why I never stay in the city is because I am afraid of getting revenge from the enemy after getting drunk..."

"Where in the mountains?"

The maid shook her head: "The slaves really don't know..."

Tang Qiaoyuan's chest jumped faster, and he couldn't ask more questions here, so he got on his horse again and galloped away from Linzhou.

Except for the people who were looking for them in the mountains, everyone rushed to the foot of the mountain. Tang Qiaoyuan stopped his horse for a while, looked up at the twilight, and commanded loudly: "Everyone go up the mountain and search for me inch by inch! Those who find the lady before will be rewarded!"

"Yes! The village master!" The crowd echoed and scattered towards the mountain.

Tang Qiaoyuan rode up along the mountain road, full of humble prayers in his heart, hating why he didn't burn incense to make offerings to Buddha before, and only hoped that Fang Su would be safe and sound...

When he returns home, he will be taken to the temple to worship devoutly.
