Chapter 22 Hutton Mar-Ruby Crisis (Part 2)
Ling Yi looked at Hongyu with his peripheral vision. His face was pale, his lips were purple, and most of his clothes were stained with blood. Hongyu kept covering his face. Lifting her arms, Ling Yi glanced over, her pupils shrank, and blood was still dripping down her palms. At this time, there was already a small pool of blood on the ground under her feet. It could be seen that Hongyu had tried her best to cover up her injuries. But my body still couldn't control the slight shaking. It looked like it was seriously injured, but it was still holding on. You must be afraid of me?
"Heh." Ling Yi chuckled, why should he ask for trouble? The life and death of the woman in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Hongyu heard the sound and slowly looked in the direction of Ling Yi. He didn't seem to have any hostility. Otherwise, based on his current appearance, I might not be able to withstand one move. Anyway, he saved me. .
"Thank you." A weak voice came. Ling Yi's foot that had just stepped on the motorcycle's accelerator was accidentally removed. He turned his head and looked at Hongyu, who thought that his voice was too low to make the other party feel. Without being sincere, she then cleared her throat: "Ahem, thank you, Ling Yi!" Her voice was hoarse, and Hongyu bit her lip and stared at the man in front of her, looking a little at a loss.
Looking at Hong Yu’s sincere eyes, Ling Yi was suddenly stunned. It was different from the previous two times he saw her. He had the impression that she was an unreasonable and difficult woman. He thought she would not give in, but she was still right. He thanked himself, and the look in her eyes... Ling Yi quickly came to his senses, turned around and took a sip of wine. Just now, he was thinking about some random things. He just said thank you for saving her. It seemed that he really drank too much. .
Hongyu's eyes dimmed. In her eyes, Ling Yi looked at her for a while and then turned away to drink. I'm afraid he was dissatisfied with himself. That's right. If it were him, it would be understandable. The night wind blew Hongyu's body trembling even more violently, her hands tightly covering the wound. The pain made her wake up a little. Although it was not enough, it would not cause her to faint.
At this time, there was a heavy weight on the back. Hong Yu looked up at Ling Yi. At some point, Ling Yi came over and put her coat on Hong Yu. Turning around and getting on the motorcycle, Hongyu stared at Ling Yi in disbelief.
Ling Yi didn't see Hongyu coming over for a long time: "What, do you want me to carry you up?" It was a teasing tone, but Hongyu was not annoyed after hearing it, and dragged her body over. "Where are you going? I'll take you there." Ling Yi said calmly.
"The Moonlight Tavern is just fine." Hongyu said warmly.
Watching Hongyu get into the car. "Hold on tight." Without any unnecessary words, Ling Yi stepped on the accelerator and drove away, leaving only the roar of motorcycles in the night streets.
Sosia yawned and walked to the door of the tavern. Seeing that it would be dawn in 2 or 3 hours, there were still people sitting in the tavern in twos and threes.
A roaring sound was heard and Sosia looked towards the street. A man was riding a motorcycle at high speed, picking up a few pieces of paper on the ground.
After the car stopped and saw the person coming clearly, Sosia joked: "Ling Yi, it's so late and you are disturbing the people by running away so fast."
Ling Yi looked solemn because he had never been there before. Just at the beginning, he felt his back sink, and Hongyu's whole body was pressed against him. He called several times and the woman behind him didn't respond. She must have fainted.
"Sosia, come here and help!" Hearing that Ling Yi's tone was wrong, Sosia hurriedly walked over and saw a woman lying behind Ling Yi. When she saw the face clearly, she exclaimed: "Hong Jade! What's going on!"
Ling Yi didn't have time to explain, so he asked Sosia to help Hong Yu get out of the car. Ling Yi got out of the car and immediately picked up Hong Yu and hugged her. "Is there any room available?" Ling Yi asked anxiously.
"Yes, yes, come with me!" Sosia said repeatedly. The two of them walked into the tavern one after another.
In the villa, everyone was sleeping soundly, just a few hours ago...
"Hey, hahaha, I won again!"
"Oh!" In the living room, the big table was piled with cards. Two men and one woman were sitting at the table. Ayuan lay back with a soft pillow behind her. She just won again.
Yu'er fed freshly washed grapes into Ayuan's mouth: "Hey, this is a reward for Yuanbao!" Ayuan ate it.
Next to her, Ting'er handed over another glass of orange juice: "Sister Yuan, moisten your throat quickly!" Ayuan bit the straw and slowly inhaled, then squinted her eyes and let out a happy sigh.
In a blink of an eye, the other two were not treated so well. Fortunately, Diandian only had three notes on his face and chewed potato chips: "Sister Yuan is lucky!"
A Yuan quickly waved her hand: "Just average, third in the world."
"Alas~" A sigh came, and Guo Zhan sat there with his face covered with notes.
“Hey~ Oops!” Guo Zhan immediately jumped up and rubbed his arms, causing several pieces of paper to fall out.
"You have the nerve to sigh!" Tian Ying pinched her waist and stood up, pretending to catch Guo Zhan. Seeing that it was not good, Guo Zhan hurriedly ran behind Diandian and grabbed Diandian's arm. I was about to stuff potato chips into my mouth when I was yanked like this before I could put them in my mouth. The potato chips fell to the ground and several of them fell out of the bag.
“Ah! My potato chips!!!” Diandian stared at the potato chips on the ground, feeling regretful.
Guo Zhan only showed a pair of eyes behind Diandian: "Brother, it's okay. I'll buy you a big bag of snacks after I get through this."
"Really?" "It really can't be true anymore!"
Hearing that, Diandian's eyes lit up, and he raised his arms to protect Guo Zhan behind him.
Guo Zhan said happily: "Yingying, I am usually a victorious general. Today is an accident, yes! An accident!"
Tian Ying looked at the imposing posture in front of her and itched her teeth: "Accident? Did you catch dog poop in your hands? It stinks so much! The cards are stinky and the playing is even worse! Don't think that I can't catch you by hiding behind others. Come out!" Tian Ying walked over and grabbed Guo Zhan. Guo Zhan tried his best to hide behind Diandian, while Diandian stretched out his arms to block Tian Ying for snacks. The three of them were in a mess. Yu'er and the other three were watching the three of them playing around, with laughter, curses, and screams coming and going.
Jiang Xiao and the others opened the door and happened to see this scene. They were stunned. After Yu'er's explanation, they realized that everyone was too bored to stay and started fighting landlords. It turned out to be Tian Ying, Ayuan and Diandian. We were playing together, but Guo Zhan patted his chest and said he was the God of War and went on the field. The result was as you can imagine, the loser couldn't lose any more. Hearing this, Jiang Xiao and the others also teased Guo Zhan a few words.
After the fun, Jiang Xiao said seriously: "Today the three of us went to the Moonlight Tavern and heard a big event! The proprietress talked to an adventurer named Ling Yi about going to Graca to adventure. We should also "Get off."
"Ling Yi?" Yu'er asked in confusion.
"It was the last time we went to the pub and we met two people who had a conflict. One of the sisters gave me a knife. The man who had the conflict with her was named Ling Yi." After listening to Tianyi's explanation, Everyone understands.
Tian Ying then asked: "What do you mean by the big event? The adventure rewards are very generous?" Looking at everyone's confused and expectant eyes, Jiang Xiao told what Sosia and Ling Yi had revealed in the tavern. The news was told to everyone intact, and everyone was obviously excited when they heard the news about Sky City.
Shi Hun said calmly: "That's it. I think everyone is interested in this adventure, and the risks and rewards are proportional." Although he was calm, his eyes showed joy and excitement.
A Yuan rubbed her hands after hearing this: "Very good, I applaud with both hands, when will we set off!"
Seeing Jiang Xiao drinking water, Shi Hun replied: "About Okay, let’s go together tomorrow night and talk about the details and see when we can set off.”
Yu’er pondered for a while and nodded: “Okay, but is Ling Yi reliable?”
"There should be no problem, and our skills are good. We are all aiming for the same goal. Besides, there are many of us, so there shouldn't be any accidents." After hearing what Jiang Xiao said, everyone nodded.
"That..." After hearing this, several people looked at Ting'er. Ting'er's face was slightly red, and everyone immediately guessed that it was probably related to Beichen.
No one said anything, Yu'er spoke first: "Let's do this, Sister Ting, you stay at home and look after the house, and a few of us can go."
"No, no, no, I It didn’t help last time.”
Ayuan said with a bad smile: “Hey, who said Ting Mei’er didn’t help? Ting Mei’er can be said to have done us a “big favor”~ "Tingmei'er's face turned redder after hearing this, and everyone was very sensible and didn't make fun of Tingmei.
From the very beginning, when Jiang Xiao was talking, he would fiddle with his phone. He didn’t know who he was sending a message to. A Yuan stared at Jiang Xiao thoughtfully. Suddenly, an idea flashed and she took out her phone. I sent a message to Xiaorou, and after receiving the reply, I proved that I was right.
Jiang Xiao put down his mobile phone and looked at everyone: "Everyone, go to bed early and go to the appointment tomorrow night."
No one had any objections. Everyone got up and walked upstairs talking and laughing. As soon as Jiang Xiao got up, he found a Staring at herself, Ayuan was still sitting there looking at Jiang Xiao.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Pin was suddenly confused.
"Isn't Young Master Jiang sleeping?" This was what he was going to ask. Jiang Pin breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could open his mouth, he heard A Yuan's next words: "I brought Xiao Rou back. Be careful while driving on the road." After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the stairs.
After saying this, there was suddenly silence. Everyone turned their heads and stared at Jiang Xiao. Jiang Xiao was speechless and was thinking about how to explain to everyone.
A Yuan suddenly turned her head: "By the way, remember to come back after eating. Xiaorou hasn't eaten yet. Last time you "specially" brought Xiaorou the first-grade papaya stewed snow clam. I think Xiaorou Rou loves to eat." After that, he went upstairs.
Everyone just stared at Jiang Xiao without saying a word. Jiang Xiao felt like there were big holes in his body and he couldn’t stand it any longer: “Hahaha, everyone, go to bed early. , go to bed early." Then he hurriedly slipped away and didn't relax until he opened the door and went out. Then he thought of something and smiled. As he walked towards the car, he took out his mobile phone, found a restaurant and made a reservation, then drove out of the villa.
