Suddenly he realized that he had spoken too directly. In order to adjust and organize the language behind him, Niu Da deliberately stopped to take a sip of tea and secretly looked at Li Xiaofeng's reaction. Li Xiaofeng seemed to see Niu Da's worry at a glance.
"Tell the truth and leave me alone." The cold voice made the two brothers dare not disobey.
"Miss Xiaoxi has been beaten almost every day since she was five or six years old. Only occasionally she was severely beaten, and she was able to escape the young master's beatings for a few days while lying on the bed to recuperate. But on such days, except for the master and his wife,
He was afraid that she would die at home. In the first day or two, a doctor was sent to see her injuries and a maid was sent to deliver food. After that, she just ignored her.
It is said that Miss Xiaoxi spent almost all of those years in the hospital bed. Whenever she got out of bed to look for something to eat and the young master knew about it, he would definitely run over and give her a beating. Because there was no work, no one among the servants could do anything.
Miss Xiaoxi, who dared to pity her privately and gave him normal food, but no one brought him water or food, could only take advantage of the fact that no one noticed her in the middle of the night and fish for something to eat from the swill bucket.
The nursing home brother said that he once saw with his own eyes Miss Xiaoxi, wrapped in a tattered quilt, lying on the ditch behind the kitchen in the middle of the night one winter, hitting the ice in the ditch with stones to eat. At that time, Miss Xiaoxi
The skinny body was completely exposed in front of the elder brother because of a strong wind. Seeing that the elder brother couldn't help it, he took Miss Xiaoxi back to his home and let his family take care of her for two days and feed her well for two days.
. But on the third day, the steward came to check Miss Xiaoxi’s wing. At that time, the nursing home brother was so frightened that he thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, Miss Xiaoxi was lying on the bed obediently. He couldn’t see it at all.
There were no traces of going out. Only after the elder brother from the nursing home asked her family did he find out that Miss Xiaoxi had run away secretly in the middle of the night. She originally thought she had escaped to another place, but she didn't expect that she actually returned to Hong Mansion. Although the elder brother from the nursing home was grateful
Miss Xiaoxi, but he never dared to do such a thing again, and even ran away when he encountered Miss Xiaoxi."
At this time, the storyteller took a deep breath and adjusted his voice, which was choked with sobs and could no longer continue. The person listening to the story just pretended to sit calmly, without any movement, but the tears were connected to each other.
"It wasn't until Miss Xiaoxi was eleven years old that for some reason the second master held a family dinner for Miss Xiaoxi for the first time. From then on, Miss Xiaoxi began to take care of the second master's daily life, and finally followed him normally again.
Everyone had dinner together. From then on, the young master seldom beat her again. However, half a year later, Miss Xiaoxi ran out of the second master's room in disheveled clothes and was beaten by the aunt in charge and the elder brother of the nursing home.
Several other maids saw it, and she went back to her room without saying a word.
After that, Miss Xiaoxi no longer took care of anyone's daily life, and was also responsible for doing chores in the backyard. But later, someone still saw that the second master had been to Miss Xiaoxi's wing alone many times. I don't know if it was recently.
Whoever mentioned this matter again, there were rumors that Miss Xiaoxi had had such a relationship with the second master when she was eleven years old."
There was a "pop" sound, and the table in front of Li Xiaofeng and the stool under him suddenly exploded. The two brothers were so frightened that they hurriedly stood up and backed away. They quickly said, "These are all hearsay. We really don't know what the actual situation is, so we didn't dare to talk nonsense before."
, maybe it’s just rumors spread by us servants. The credibility is not high. Sir, calm down, how could such a young girl endure so much suffering? Even children from poor families like us would have been unable to bear it for a long time. Rumors
It must be highly exaggerated and untrue.”
At this time, there was a rapid knock on the door, and urgent inquiries from the teahouse owner and waiter came.
"What happened? Please don't cause trouble in the shop. The judge is my uncle."
Li Xiaofeng waved to the two brothers to come closer to him. When the two came closer, he grabbed a piece of wood on the ground and stabbed himself in the cheek. Then he sat down on the ground and tore one of his sleeves.
"Run" Li Xiaofeng ordered
Then the door was knocked open with a "bang" sound, which made the two brothers recover from the shock. They squeezed past the shopkeeper and waiter and fled in a few steps.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Feng? Has someone robbed him?" Looking at Li Xiaofeng with tattered clothes and two scratches on his face, the teahouse owner was so happy that the tables, chairs and benches were smashed. Who let this Li Xiaofeng's family
The Fuxiang Restaurant is the only one in the city, and it is difficult for others to get a share of the pie.
"I'll have the money for the tables and benches delivered later. Shopkeeper Hai, don't laugh at me." Li Xiaofeng wiped the wounds on his face, got up from the ground in embarrassment, and staggered out of the restaurant.
After turning a corner, Li Xiaofeng sensed the direction of Niu Danniu Er and came to the two of them in an instant. “Follow me,” the frightened two followed him cautiously.
Li Xiaofeng took off the money bag from his body and put it into the hands of the two of them in a corner with a lot of debris. He said directly without giving them a chance to speak: "You can think of this money as hush money, or as my thank you money."
.If something happens in the future, someone will always know about our meeting. We are already grasshoppers on the same rope. Although nothing may happen, I will try my best to protect you if necessary. You also want to know the cause of the death of Miss Mavericks
Bar?
From now on we will check together!
You check from Hong Mansion, and I check from other places. Help me look at the stream. As long as she is okay, you will be okay.
You just need to come here every day and look at the cracks in the wall. If there are pebbles stuck in it, it means I have something to ask you. You can just go to my restaurant and get a private room."
Just as the two were about to say something, Li Xiaofeng clasped his hands behind his back and stood upright, looking directly at the two of them. Although the two brothers did not feel the pressure again or see the martial spirit being released, they understood that they had to accompany this gentleman at this moment, even if it meant going through mountains and seas of fire.
They walked on. Besides, in order to give justice to Mavericks, they also needed to fight with this gentleman whose strength was unfathomable, so they nodded and turned around and left.
Three days later, Li Xiaoxi finally went to school. Because she no longer attracted attention at this moment, no one except Li Xiaofeng noticed the bruises on Li Xiaoxi's face that had not yet recovered.
Li Xiaofeng handed over the ointment he made: "Xiaoxi, I'm sorry."
Li Xiaoxi looked at Li Xiaofeng who was already in tears, took out a white handkerchief embroidered with a white butterfly and gently wiped away the tears on his face. "None of this is Brother Xiaofeng's fault."
Hearing Li Xiaoxi call him "Brother Xiaofeng" again instead of "Brother Xiaofeng" and not "Mr." Li Xiaofeng was a little excited and reached out to grab the little hand that wiped his tears.
Li Xiaoxi quickly broke away from Li Xiaofeng's hand and lowered his eyebrows timidly. They stayed in silence for a while, and then Li Xiaoxi stood up and planned to leave.
Li Xiaofeng quickly chased after him and hugged Li Xiaoxi from behind.
"Remember when I said I would take you flying?" Li Xiaofeng leaned his head on the thin woman's shoulder and said softly.
"kindness"
"give me sometime"
"Do you know what I've been through these years?" Li Xiaoxi turned his head gently to the other side, his soft voice and trembling body telling the unbearable story of everything.
This time it was Li Xiaofeng's turn to be silent.
"Then..." Li Xiaoxi was about to say something
"Are you still willing to come with me?" Li Xiaofeng held the woman's shoulders and turned her to face him, looking seriously into the woman's eyes.
Li Xiaoxi's tears finally flowed down uncontrollably. Through her eyes blurred by tears, she could see a man's eyes more clearly than ever before, so she nodded gently.
After that day, Li Xiaoxi and Li Xiaofeng met at school during the day. At night, Li Xiaofeng relied on his strong strength and the help of the two brothers Niu and Daniu to sneak into Hong Mansion to teach Li Xiaoxi how to practice and chat. Li Xiaoxi's life seemed to have finally gotten better.
stand up.
A month later, something even more gratifying for the two of them made Li Xiaoxi and the others see the light of day - the Great Elder finally came out of seclusion.
But the strange thing is that the Great Elder has always been unwilling to meet with Li Xiaofeng. Although Li Xiaoxi's current identity and status are not qualified to actively seek to see the Great Elder, but after so many years, Li Xiaofeng has taken the initiative to seek an audience with the Great Elder. The Great Elder should be able to guess his purpose and that of the Little Elder.
He was related to the river, but why he just didn't want to see him, which made Li Xiaofeng feel a little uncomfortable.
One night, Li Xiaofeng and Li Xiaoxi discussed it and decided to meet the great elder anyway. However, when Li Xiaoxi knew that Li Xiaofeng was planning to break into the council hall at night, he was very worried and wanted to stop him.
"Brother Xiaofeng, why don't we wait a little longer? The Great Elder must have something to do that he can't take care of us. He will meet us when he has taken care of it." Li Xiaoxi and Li Xiaofeng were sitting in one of the abandoned rooms in Hong Mansion.
The moon shines on the roof of the courtyard.
"I can't wait any longer. Next month is the wedding date for you and that little beast Li Jianfan. Then it will be even harder for the First Elder to help." Li Xiaofeng now itch with hatred every time he mentions the word "Li Jianfan", and even feels that
His name makes him feel sick.
Hearing this, Li Xiaoxi wanted to say something, but as a victim and a woman, in front of a man who loved herself so much, she couldn't say anything. She could only remain silent.
"Xiaoxi, don't worry. I already have some evidence, and Niu Daniu Er's investigation has also made some progress. If I cooperate with the two brothers in the past few days, I will definitely be able to catch the Hong Mansion. I will go find it then.
Great Elder, let him do justice to us.
Then we will leave here." Li Xiaofeng once again mentioned that when leaving here, he put his arm around Li Xiaoxi's shoulders and looked up at the moon, as if he wanted the bright moon in the sky to bear witness for the two of them.
"Well." Li Xiaoxi didn't know what he was thinking at this moment, and looked at the moon with a complicated expression.
The next day, in the private room on the second floor of Fuxiang Restaurant.
"Sir, Yuhuan girl is still too worried about her father and brother at home and doesn't want to come forward to testify." Niu Er complained angrily as soon as he entered the door. After being stared at by Niu, he had to sit down and drink tea alone.
"We need to be more careful. Hong Mansion seems to have noticed it now. We must not be careless." Although Li Xiaofeng's spiritual sense had already observed that no one could hear their conversation, in order to give the two brothers a warning
Xing Xing, and for the sake of everyone's safety, he had to express his dissatisfaction with Niu Er's recklessness.
"I'm sorry, I was so reckless." Niu Er looked at the two of them aggrievedly and lowered his voice to the lowest level.
"If an apology is useful, then I must let the beasts of the Hong Mansion kneel in front of the calf's grave and kowtow ten thousand times." Niu Da couldn't see Niu Er's aggrieved look, and wanted to say a few more words to be criticized.
