Chapter 173 Holy Father, Prepare to Die (22)
Sure enough, not long after Li Shi entered the room, a crackling sound came from inside.
When Xia Mingwei entered the room, she was greeted by a scene of utter chaos.
Li Shi slumped to the ground, his arms covered in burns, leaving numerous marks.
Upon seeing that the person who came was Xia Mingwei, Li Shi looked at her apologetically, displaying his injured arm completely in front of her, as if he had let her down.
Seeing Li Shi's somewhat serious injuries, Xia Ming asked with "concern," "How did this happen? How could you be so careless?"
Li Shi gestured again to explain the reason for all of this.
He had noticed loose threads on his clothes and wanted to use a candle to remove them. However, he accidentally knocked over the candlestick, and wax dripped onto his arm, causing the current situation.
Xia Mingwei didn't believe a word of Li Shi's explanation.
It would be a miracle if she believed Li Shi!
Using a candlestick to trim loose threads in broad daylight is something no normal person would think of! Besides, he knew the scissors were right in the sewing basket. The fact that he's using such a lame excuse shows he's truly desperate to escape this misery!
Thinking of this, Xia Mingwei immediately put on a concerned expression, "Your injury is so serious, should we take you to see a doctor?"
Li Shi waved his hand, indicating to Xia Mingwei that she didn't need to worry so much. He also told them to go to the exhibition, and that he would find some herbs to apply later.
"Is it really not necessary?"
As Xia Mingwei spoke, she deliberately gave him a scrutinizing look.
To convince Xia Mingwei, Li Shi had no choice but to casually swing his arm.
Looking at Li Shi, whose face was contorted with pain, Xia Mingwei suddenly felt a pang of conscience.
I sighed inwardly; he really had it tough on me!
After repeatedly confirming, Xia Mingwei and Li Jing still went out.
As they walked away and gradually disappeared from sight, Li Shi's heart was so excited it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
Li Shi was afraid that if he delayed any longer and missed this opportunity, he would never be able to leave this awful place again. Almost without thinking, he eagerly grabbed his already packed bag and left home.
To avoid being discovered, he deliberately took a side path.
This road is not only difficult to travel, but it is also much longer to other places than the main road in the village.
Unless absolutely necessary, villagers will not choose this road when going out!
To avoid being discovered and for his own safety, Li Shi resolutely chose this path.
As the familiar scenery of the village gradually blurred before his eyes, Li Shi couldn't help but bid farewell in his heart.
Goodbye, my nightmare!
As Li Shi thought, after today, he would be greeted with brand new days.
As expected, an unexpected event occurred!
Just as he was about to turn the last corner, he saw the person he never wanted to see again in his life.
That person was none other than Xia Mingwei, who had been waiting for a long time.
The moment Li Shi saw Xia Mingwei, almost all the color drained from his face.
His terrified eyes stared straight at Xia Mingwei, as if he wanted to question her about why she was in this place.
In order to let him die knowing the truth, Xia Mingwei decided to kindly tell him the truth.
"I knew you wanted to run away the moment you urged Jing'er and me to leave! I was originally planning to give you a chance to change your ways, but I didn't expect you to not cherish it! You're just unlucky to have fallen into my hands today!"
Xia Ming said this with a smile, and Li Shi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Forget about his image, he turned around and tried to run away, to get as far away from this devil as possible!
Unfortunately, he hadn't run more than a few steps when he felt a strong push in his back.
He stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
Because Xia Mingwei exerted too much force with her foot, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Xia Ming bent down slightly, picked up the bundle that Li Shi had dropped, and quickly opened it.
Seeing that the silver was lying there perfectly fine, Xia Mingwei didn't stand on ceremony and casually tossed it into her own space.
After all, why not take money that's offered to you?
After taking the silver, Xia Mingwei didn't forget to stab Li Shi in the heart, "You really are something! What's the use of saving this silver all this time? In the end, it's all going to be given to me anyway. But for the sake of this silver, I'll spare your life for now. I've decided to send you to a good place!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shi struggled to get up.
Although he didn't know what the "good place" Xia Mingwei was talking about was, he was certain that it was definitely not a place for one person to stay!
"Don't worry! They'll be here soon!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said that, because after hearing those words, Li Shi struggled even more fiercely.
As the sun gradually set outside, the group Xia Mingwei was waiting for finally arrived.
Seeing Li Shi lying on the ground, the person opposite frowned. "This man is almost dead. The price we agreed on earlier is no longer valid!"
Xia Mingwei objected to this, "Don't let his half-dead appearance fool you, he just misbehaved and I beat him up! He doesn't have any other strengths, he's just tough and can take a beating! Why don't you take him back and try him out for a couple of days, and if you think he's suitable, then you can pay him?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shi finally realized what was happening. No wonder this devil hadn't killed him; he was trying to sell him for money!
Seeing Xia Mingwei's unyielding attitude, the man finally had no choice but to nod.
After handing the silver over to Xia Mingwei, the transaction was complete. It's important to know that the contract she signed with Li Shi was a death contract!
To prevent his property from suffering any undue loss, the man tied Li Shi up.
As he left, Li Shi was still letting out a defiant roar. But at this point, even his eighteen martial arts skills were useless. He could only watch helplessly as Xia Mingwei sold him off like a piece of merchandise.
On the way back, Xiao Ba asked, "If Li Shi isn't planning to run away, would you really let him go?"
Perhaps because she was in a good mood today, Xia Mingwei was unusually patient.
"If he doesn't run away, I'll think he's extremely cunning and will stop at nothing to survive; he absolutely cannot be allowed to live! If he runs away, it means he's subservient and cunning to the extreme; he absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"
Xiao Ba was clearly speechless upon hearing Xia Mingwei's words.
Anyway, we're all going to die eventually!
