Chapter 456: Shelter

The masked man crossed his arms and came to her side, with his elbows lightly touching the eaves next to her. Don't worry, just don't worry. He had an expression of watching a good show on his face: "Tsk, tsk, tsk... Look, those two little ones in your belly are helping you."

After that, they started charging crazy interest."

"You think they are helping you? Oh, they are just protecting the mother's body."

"According to what I said, you should listen to me. While I can still help you, hurry up and give up your little one to protect your big one."

Tong Li blinked her eyes twice, but there was nothing strange about her face. She was already immune to this man's words. She went to the sink and washed her hands, rinsing away the smell of blood from her mouth.

When I came out, I heard the masked man snort a sneer from his nasal cavity.

"You will not live if you do your own misfortune."

Tong Li ignored it and returned to the sofa to rest.

She also knew that there was a problem with the two children, but she didn't want to give up so early. There must be some way to solve it, there must be a way.

Tong Li casually picked up a flower on the table, picked off the bright petals and put it into her mouth.

I don’t know if the flowers today were kept for too long. The petals that used to taste sweet became bitter. She only took two bites and threw them on the table without any taste.

Looking up towards the kitchen, the man had disappeared. There was a small bottle on the table. If it weren't for the proof of the small bottle, she would have thought that the man just now was an illusion.

Tong Li walked over and picked up the bottle, opened it and put it under the tip of her nose and smelled it. The contents inside did not have any medicinal smell, but had a light fragrance.

She poured out one and looked at it. It was a small pill that was completely white. She couldn't tell what it was, but her intuition told her that it was definitely a good thing.

Seeing this medicine, she suddenly remembered the medicinal materials she had collected before and left them with Pei Jiuyin. She wondered if he had brought them back.

Tong Li went back to her room to find her cell phone and dialed Pei Jiuyin's number. The phone only rang once before someone picked up the call. She didn't know that the person on the other side had been waiting for her call.

"Tongtong, you're awake." A man's joyful and excited voice came from the other side.

"Pei Jiuyin, where did you put the medicinal materials I gave you before?"

Pei Jiuyin was slightly confused: "What medicinal materials?"

"It's the ones we collected in Shennongjia together before."

There was silence on the other end for a while: "I'll ask first and get back to you later."

"Um."

After Pei Jiuyin hung up the phone, he stood up and left the conference room, ignoring a group of stunned subordinates, to investigate his trip to Shennongjia.

A few minutes later, he was asked to ask something. There was indeed a batch of precious medicinal materials stored in the medicinal material warehouse, but he had lost that part of his memory. The group of people who had gone with him had all been transferred away by his grandfather, and he didn't know

, this matter cannot be accomplished.

After finding out what happened, Pei Jiuyin immediately called Tong back and arranged for someone to deliver the medicinal materials to her.

After the two chatted on the phone for a while, Pei Jiuyin reluctantly hung up the phone.

Two hours later, Tong Li encountered a problem after getting the medicinal materials. Although the medicinal materials were gathered and could be refined, her body was not suitable for big movements. Even with the blessing of medicine, it was not as good as the loss of spiritual energy in her body.

.

As for Pei Jiuyin and others.

Forget it, his condition is quite stable now, let's help him recover his memory first, and then we'll see what the situation is.

Over the past few days, Tong Li began to have various minor problems. For example, she caught a cold for the first time today. She didn't know when she last got sick. It seemed that her health was getting worse.

"Hello..." Tong Li took out two tissues and wiped out the runny nose, feeling depressed because of this cold.

Pei Jiuyin sadly brought her a cup of hot water and put it to her mouth: "Let's drink something hot to make us sweat."

Tong Li took two sips of hot water from the cup, but unexpectedly, after drinking this hot water, her throat felt itchy. She was afraid that the same situation would happen a few times before, so she desperately resisted the urge to cough.

Instructing Pei Jiuyin who was sitting next to him: "Go and make me some porridge."

"?"

Pei Jiuyin looked at the time and saw that it was only an hour before breakfast, but his wife said she wanted to eat, so how could he refuse.

"Okay, you sit down first and I'll cook you some porridge."

"Um."

Pei Jiuyin picked up a pot of flowers and walked into the kitchen. Tong Li watched Pei Jiuyin enter the kitchen and immediately got up and quickly went upstairs.

As soon as the door closed, she couldn't restrain the itching anymore and started coughing desperately.

She covered her mouth with her hand, walked to the bedside table, and took out a bottle of medicine from the drawer. She had made it before, but after taking the medicine, it didn't work at all. She still coughed when she should.

The repeated dry coughs made her feel that if she continued to cough, her lungs would be coughed out.

Suddenly, the bottle of medicine left by the masked man flashed in her mind. She didn't find out what the ingredients were in it, but she thought that the man left it behind, so it shouldn't be poisonous, and poisoning her would do no good to him.

Tong Li coughed twice more and finally chose to take the medicine.

Her guess was correct. After taking the medicine, the stone that had been pressing on her heart disappeared instantly, her terrible coughing stopped immediately, and her whole body breathed much more smoothly.

Tong Li looked at the bottle of medicine and fell into deep contemplation. She didn't come back to her senses until Pei Jiuyin came over.

"Tongtong, what are you thinking about? I didn't answer my call."

"I didn't think anything of it." Tong Li came back to her senses and hid the medicine in time so that he wouldn't see it.

Pei Jiuyin looked at her indifferently and secretly observed her face. It was inappropriate. But just now he seemed to hear a cough at the door, and he didn't find anything unusual when he came in. Was it because he was hallucinating?

Pei Jiuyin held his hand and gently hugged her into his arms: "Tongtong, if you feel uncomfortable in any way, you must tell me, you know?"

"It's nothing, it's just a common cold." Tong Li listened to his strong heartbeat and could feel his worry, but even if he knew about this kind of thing, it would be useless, it would only increase his worry.

But that man...



Tong Li relied on the medicine left by the masked man and lived comfortably for a few days, but she knew that it was not an option to continue like this. She had tried many methods, but she was still unable to balance the internal friction of the two children on her body.

Very dangerous.

She had been waiting for the masked man to appear these days. She thought that since he had a way to solve her food problem and make this pill, could he also have a way to ensure that the two children were born safely?

It's just that this man didn't show up for several days, and she couldn't find him even if she tried to look for him.

"Looking for me?"

As soon as Tong Li finished speaking, the man's voice came from behind.

The masked man folded his hands on his chest, leaned his back against the wall, and looked at her calmly.

Tong Li looked at the elusive man. After thinking for a moment, he asked quietly: "Well, I want to ask you something."

The masked man raised his eyebrows and slowly walked to the sofa next to him and sat down: "What's the matter?"

Tong Li didn't mince words and asked directly: "What can we do to save these two children?"
