C109 (2/2)
Xia Li was filled with grief and indignation, he chased after An Ting's figure and prepared to rush forward, but he was hugged by Sun Chun who was beside him.
”What do you want!? Believe it or not, we'll capture you as well and put you in the dungeon! ” The Grand Master stood in the corner and glared at Xia Li who had lost control of his emotions and shouted. The yamen runners on both sides also glared at Xia Li like tigers stalking their prey.
”Shopkeeper, you have to save me!” ”Shopkeeper!” Day Rui was no longer able to remain calm. The fear of death made him abruptly push aside the bailiffs on both sides, and he knelt in front of her, imploring her bitterly.
Tears fell from Xia Li's eyes as he held Day Rui's hand. Resisting the tears with great difficulty, he gritted his teeth and said, ”Even if I have to stake my life, I will save you!”
”What are you guys doing, hurry up and pull this condemned man away!” Following the order of the Grand Master, two bailiffs surrounded Day Rui and snatched him away.
”Shopkeeper, you have to save me!” I don't want to die yet! ” Day Rui's voice became louder and louder, causing Xia Li's emotions to collapse. She could not hold on any longer and fell into Sun Chun's embrace.
”Little Li, you have to be strong, hold on!” Sun Chun anxiously called out to Xia Li, to prevent her from fainting.
The current Xia Li had a headache that was about to explode. She clenched her teeth and endured, firmly grabbing onto Sun Chun's arm.
”Did you get another headache?” Sun Chun hugged Xia Li and whispered into her ear.
”Yes.” The current Xia Li was in so much pain that she couldn't do anything, even though she was unwilling.
Just as Sun Chun took two steps forward with Xia Li in his arms, the Grand Master caught up and blocked his path.
”If the two of you leave with a hundred silver taels and leave without taking them out, then you two poor lovers can go to jail!”
When the group of yamen runners heard about the money, they automatically surrounded them, all of their eyeballs wishing that they could jump out and surround Xia Li and the two of them.
”If you want money, you don't have any, but if you want life, you only have these two!” After Sun Chun finished speaking, he looked around coldly at the people around him, then carried Xia Li and walked forward. The surrounding yamen runners did not give Sun Chun any chance, and directly pounced on him.
The pitiful bunch of bailiffs were beaten black and blue by Sun Chun. If they walked out, even their mothers would not be able to recognize them.
The Grand Master stood at the side, afraid to speak. When Sun Chun walked to his front, carrying Xia Li, he said pretentiously.
”If you don't have any silver, bring it tomorrow!” ”How annoying, let's hurry up and go!” With that, the Grand Master ran to the back of the hall.
Sun Chun walked out of the County Yamen with Xia Li in his arms. At this time, it was already drizzling rain in the air, and the spectators had long dispersed. Lee's held onto Xia Qing, holding onto an umbrella, and swung it for Sun Chun to prevent the rain from falling on his and Xia Li's bodies.
The corners of Lee's's eyes were red, I don't know how many times he had cried, but at this time, the rain and tears had intertwined on his face, his hair and clothes were wet. Xia Qing also noticed the change in the atmosphere, and obediently followed behind Lee's.
Seemingly even the heavens had felt the sorrows of the human world, and the rain continued to fall on the second day. When noon arrived, County Head, who was sitting in a makeshift shed, threw the medallion that he had killed on the table coldly onto the ground.
The empty ground beside was already filled with people watching the execution. Some of them pointed at Day Rui and shouted, some of them even had red eyes, while others remained silent.
”I was wrongly accused...” A head rolled to the ground, and some of the cowards in the crowd screamed out. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the red blood mixed with the rain and turned into a puddle of blood.
An Ting raised his head, looked at a corner of a teahouse not far away, and waved his hand, his lips revealing a smile of satisfaction.
The entrance to the market quieted down. Other than a pool of blood, there was no one else around. The world was filled with torrential rain that quickly washed away the blood and water, leaving not a single trace behind.
”Day Rui!” With a frightened voice, Xia Li sat up on the bed. The towel on his forehead also fell to the ground, waking up the Lee's who was accompanying him.
”Little Li, you're awake!” Lee's hugged Xia Li emotionally, crying until her nose was snot and tears flowed. Her voice was hoarse and her face was haggard, two black eye circles, in Xia Li's eyes, she felt even more sorry.
Xia Li looked at the night sky outside, hugged Lee's and asked: ”Mother, did I sleep for the whole day? Listen to me, there's still half a day before Day Rui is beheaded, so I'll have to trouble you to help me cook something to eat. I want to take advantage of the fact that the sky is still dark, get up early, and think of a way to save him! ”
”Alright, I'll cook for you.” Lee's could not hold it in anymore, he covered his mouth and ran out.
Xia Li looked at Lee's's back and frowned, he felt that something was amiss, he lifted the blanket on his body and got off the bed, walking to the door, only to see Lee's leaning on the door frame, crying loudly. Perhaps seeing Xia Li, Lee's hurriedly hid in the kitchen to pretend to be busy.
Xia Li felt that something was amiss. What happened to Lee's? Why are you crying so loudly?
Where's Sun Chun? Where did he go? Xia Li had a lot of questions in his heart, maybe he missed Sun Chun too much, so he couldn't help but go to his room.
