Chapter 39: The prince dared to kick, must he be crazy?
Two accomplices led the way in front, and the other two followed at the end of the team to prevent anyone from escaping.
Under the leadership of Ren Yazi, everyone moved forward in an orderly manner.
However, since they cannot see, it is inevitable that things will go wrong. The human gangs are not kind people. If a small accident affects your progress, yelling and scolding are the least of their worries. If they lose their patience, they will even kick you.
Lin Lezhi, who was at the back carrying someone on his back, walked slowly and was kicked a lot.
Even though the conditions were so difficult, Lin Lezhi still tried his best to sense the surrounding terrain with his hands and ears.
The human trafficker led them through the woods. After walking for about half an hour, the team entered a relatively narrow place.
When Lin Lezhi carried the person up on his back, he touched the rocks on both sides and found that they were very rough, with obvious graininess and an uneven surface.
After walking for more than half an hour, they could feel that they were climbing a step. Because they couldn't see and were carrying someone on their back, Lin Lezhi almost fell down and was scolded several times by the human gangsters behind him.
You only know how to scold but don’t even give a reminder, Lin Lezhi complained in his heart.
Finally, when Lin Lezhi was about to give up.
"Okay, stop, don't go any further--!" shouted the human gangster in front of the team.
Everyone stopped when they heard this.
The leading thug walked up to Lin Lezhi, kicked him on the leg, and yelled, "Put him down." Then he shouted to the side, "Go and bring over the one who can cure him."
"Okay." Another human yelled in response, then trotted away.
Lin Lezhi's heart trembled, it seemed that they had arrived at the destination.
The next second, the black cloth covering his head was removed.
The ropes that were tied around his body were also untied, leaving only the one tied around his wrists.
When the eyes have been in darkness for a long time and suddenly see the light, there is a strong stinging pain and a layer of mist is forcibly stirred up in the eyes.
They were in a huge manor with bright lights and grand buildings everywhere.
But beneath the splendor lies a dead silence, empty and silent. Apart from the refugees who were forced here and the human traffickers guarding nearby, the only sound is the rustling of leaves in the night wind.
Except for the entrance, there are buildings in front and on both sides. Each building has the same shape. The main house in the front is larger. Now they are standing in the courtyard, some distance away from the main house in front.
There is also a small building next to it. It is different in shape from the houses next to it. It looks square and is slightly taller.
There is a high wall outside, which surrounds the entire manor except for the direction of the entrance. Its height is even higher than the square building.
The refugees who had been separated earlier were also brought here. They all lowered their heads, not daring to raise them, and their bodies were shaking with anxiety.
The human trafficker standing behind Lin Lezhi pushed Lin Lezhi. Lin Lezhi, who was carrying a group of people on his back, lost his balance and bumped into Xiao Yihuo's back.
Before my eyes could adjust to the situation, my nose was hit and it hurt.
"What are you doing? Put him down quickly."
A good man never suffers a loss in front of him. Lin Lezhi said obediently, "Right away, right away."
Lin Lezhi carefully put the man down on the ground. The man's face looked very bad and his breathing was unusually rapid.
Lin Lezhi checked the man's injured area and found it was more serious than before and the wound had begun to fester.
The man has never regained consciousness since he fell unconscious in the woods.
While Ren Yazi wasn't paying attention, Lin Lezhi took off the peace knot on the sole of his shoe and secretly put it back in his arms.
After putting the person down, Lin Lezhi felt as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him. He was startled and pretended nothing had happened and stood beside Xiao Yihuo.
The man who went in to report came out jogging and said to the leader, "Third boss, the first boss wants us to bring someone in."
It turns out that the leader is the third in command.
The Third Master said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it just to borrow someone from him? Is it necessary to bring him in?"
The man-trafficker quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, it's that guy who knows medicine who has pissed off the boss again. The boss is planning to carve words on his face."
Hearing this, the Third Master cursed and said, "It's annoying enough to stay in this shabby place every day. You just waste time. If the owner of the manor comes and can't handle it well, I wonder how he will explain it."
Owner?
Lin Lezhi thought that the three bosses here were the most powerful, but he didn't expect that there were people behind them.
Although he was angry, the third in command turned his head and signaled that everyone should be taken to the first in command's yard first.
Seeing that Lin Lezhi was standing there motionless, the people around him took advantage of the situation and raised their feet to kick Lin Lezhi. Lin Lezhi couldn't see before, so he couldn't be kicked this time.
When the man kicked over, he pretended to lean to the side casually, so that the man's kick missed.
The man was caught off guard and used too much force, losing his balance and falling forward.
"Hey, brother, why don't you be more careful? Let me help you."
Lin Lezhi pretended to help him, but actually bumped him on the back, causing him to fall straight to the ground.
Seeing him fall flat on his face, Lin Lezhi could hardly hold back the smile on his face. He took the initiative to step forward and help him up, saying with a concerned expression, "Look at me. If I had known that you were going to kick me, I wouldn't have dodged. Are you okay, brother?"
The man couldn't hold back his face and waved Lin Lezhi's hand away.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, quickly carry that person on your back, or you'll be in trouble if you waste time."
"okay."
Lin Lezhi carried the injured man on his back and took a few quick steps to catch up.
They were taken into the courtyard in the middle. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw a young man being held down by several gangsters.
The big boss held up a knife and gestured not far from the young man's face.
It seemed as if he was calculating where to strike.
The young man was quite courageous. Even in such a situation where the strength was clearly different, he did not show any fear. Instead, he glared at the boss.
As expected, such behavior angered the boss, who kicked the young man on the shoulder.
Because he was being pressed down, he had no room to dodge and could only take the blow head-on. His face turned ashen, but he still had a spirit of refusing to admit defeat.
The big boss said with a glare, "I kept you here to see if you are still useful, not to let you glare at me. I have the final say here."
The young man's eyes revealed a hint of arrogance. Even though he was kicked in pain, he had no intention of backing down. He looked into the eyes of the boss and said, "I've already said that the herbs here are not enough. I have to go out to collect fresh herbs. If you are worried, you can send someone to follow me. If I want to escape, you can kill me at any time."
"You're the only one who would say that, right?" The boss pinched the young man's face and said viciously, "Believe it or not, I will scratch your pretty face and make you ashamed to face people forever."
"Even if you scratch my face, I still have to say that if I don't get proper treatment, someone will die!"
"You..." This was undoubtedly a slap in his face in front of everyone, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll teach you a lesson!"
The boss couldn't contain his anger and was about to slash the young man's face. But just as he was about to do so, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Lin Lezhi was startled and looked next to him, and found the seat next to him was empty.
Oh my god, why did that kid Xiao Yihuo run to the front?
Xiao Yihuo used his bound hands to grab the wrist of the big boss, coughed a few times, and said with a weak breath: "Stop."
The first boss was furious. He kicked Xiao Yihuo and said with disgust, "Where did you come from, you sick kid? Who do you think you are to control me? It's really unlucky." The first boss looked at the third boss and said angrily, "Third brother, this is the person you brought back from your trip."
This kick sent Xiao Yihuo flying several meters away.
Xiao Yihuo struggled to get up from the ground and coughed several times.
"This onion is very precious." Lin Lezhi shook his head inwardly and complained in his heart, "You even dared to kick the prince, the future emperor, you really don't want to live."
Lin Lezhi noticed Yang Hancai's expression and was so frightened that his eyes seemed to bulge out, as if a disaster was about to happen, as if that kick had really hit him.
Yang Hancai wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by a human trafficker nearby. He could only stand there and worry.
However, considering Xiao Yihuo's physique, being kicked shouldn't be a big problem.
The Third Master scratched his head and said irritably, "Brother, don't worry about this sickly person for now. Let that pretty boy take a look at this man first to see if he can be saved."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Lezhi fiercely, asking Lin Lezhi to bring the person over.
Lin Lezhi carried the man on his back and put him down next to the young man. Seeing this, the human traffickers nearby also let go of the young man.
When the young man saw Lin Lezhi, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
But it was only for a moment, and then he immediately bent down to check the man's condition. After checking the man's consciousness, he turned his attention to the injured area.
After observing, he frowned, then looked at Lin Lezhi and asked, "Where was he injured?"
"It was outside the woods before coming here. I stepped on a trap."
After hearing this, the young man frowned even more deeply. He stood up and said helplessly, "Then I can't save this man. He won't survive tonight."
Lin Lezhi's heart sank, and he asked directly, "Why?"
The young man sighed, looked at Lin Lezhi and said truthfully: "The traps on that road were set by the people of Yunqiang Country. In order to resist the soldiers of Northern Qi, they were all coated with poison. Now the poison has penetrated into the heart meridian, and there is no way to save him. It's not that I don't want to save him, I'm sorry."
Lin Lezhi's pupils contracted and he clenched his fists at his sides.
The young man stepped forward and patted Lin Lezhi on the shoulder, comforting him: "The Northern Qi has already cleaned up that road. It's not our fault that there are fish that slipped through the net. This place is very close to his hometown. Let's find a place to bury him properly."
The third in command cursed, his eyes filled with bad luck.
"Bury your ass! I shouldn't have listened to you and brought him back. He's wasting my time!" Then he looked at the few human traffickers beside him and said with disgust, "Throw him away somewhere. Don't take up space here."
"Yes!"
Two gangsters came over and were about to pull the man up, but Lin Lezhi stepped forward and stopped them.
"Damn it, you are looking for death too!" The boss said impatiently, turning the knife in his hand.
Lin Lezhi turned around, smiled and said with a fearful expression: "I am just afraid that it will be hard for the elder brothers. The heads of the families are kind enough to help us find a way to make a living. Don't dirty the elder brothers' hands. When they die, I will do the dirty work."
Hearing this, the fierce look in the boss's eyes faded a little.
"You are quite tactful. If you behave yourself, I will find you a good master and ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
"Then thank you, Boss."
"You guys, wait until this man dies, then find a few people to take him outside and deal with him."
Lin Lezhi lowered his head and looked at the dying man lying on the ground, and his smile disappeared in an instant.
The big boss was about to turn around and sit back down in his chair when he heard someone running outside the door, shouting, "Big boss, Third boss, the owner of the manor is here."
