Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

There was chaos in the food store.

Some of the guests ran out, and some screamed.

Li Yu had to shout to them to be careful to avoid a stampede.

After shouting, she looked at the man in front of her calmly.

"Are you from the Yunlai Inn in Yunguan Town?" Han Xiaomei and Uncle Wu had told her about the appearance of the man named Guan.

"It's me." The man named Guan pointed a knife at He Mengyan's neck, his eyes emitting strong malice, "Boss Li, if you don't want her to die, come with me."

Li Yu looked at the scene in front of him and sighed silently in his heart.

Because she guessed that he might come here to cause trouble, she hired two men in advance to help watch the door. As a result, not only did they not notice it at all, but now that he was here, they didn't dare to subdue him from behind.

At this point, I can only rely on myself.

Li Yu hummed and said, "Let her go, I'll take her place."

The man named Guan stepped back: "Let's talk about it after we leave the city."

Li Yu: “…”

The man surnamed Guan actually prepared a carriage and parked it outside. Li Yu followed him and drove the car according to his instructions.

Aunt Wu and the village head's wife were so frightened that they tried to stop the car from going out, but as soon as they shouted, a knife stabbed into the back of Li Yu's neck, "Shut up, or I'll kill her."

The two were so frightened that they dared not make a sound.

Li Yu assured them, raised his whip, and rode away on horseback.

*

The carriage drove all the way out of the city gate and headed straight for the small road. Because there were hostages, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not even dare to stop it when it reached the city gate.

After walking for about half an hour, Li Yu said, "We are out of the city now. You can release the people you captured now."

No one in the carriage responded.

Li Yu raised his voice, "You promised to release the people inside."

"Shut up!" the man surnamed Guan shouted coldly, "Don't stop, keep going."

It seems that this guy has no intention of letting He Mengyan go.

Forget it, no matter how she thought of escaping, she couldn't leave now with He Mengyan around.

The carriage headed westward, not knowing where it was going.

On the road outside Li Ji Food Store.

Aunt Wu and the village head's wife told the county yamen runners what happened in the food store.

"Sir, please go and save them." Aunt Wu tried to speak clearly, "Nothing can happen to them."

The runners of the county government were extremely worried. They searched for several days and went to all the surrounding towns. Who would have thought that this man was actually in the county, right under their noses.

Li Yayi didn't have time to comfort them. After confirming all the information, he took the other brothers and walked out of the city.

They had never actually seen a man named Guan, but from the record book they found a few days ago, they knew that the man named Guan was a cruel person. Before he was found out, he had killed thirty-six people.

Li Yu and Miss He are both in his hands, it's very dangerous!

The yamen runners disappeared at the street corner. Aunt Wu and the village head's wife supported each other, stood there for a while with a dejected look on their faces, and then turned around to close the door.

After such a big incident, they didn't want to do business anymore, but at this moment, a voice called them.

Aunt Wu thought the voice was familiar. She turned around and took a closer look. She was horrified, "Zheng Ge'er, why are you back?"

Han Zheng didn't bother to answer and asked directly: "Which direction did the yamen runners go?"

He had heard about what happened in the county on his way here. He was very happy to hear that his second sister-in-law had been released from prison, but he didn't expect that she was arrested again.

Han Zheng was filled with panic, and he just wanted to rescue Li Yu right now. He received the letter three days ago in the evening, and because the city gates were closed at night and he couldn't get out, he and Si'er set out early the day before yesterday.

The carriage was prepared by Mr. Su. They set off at daybreak and found an inn to stay in when it got dark. They finally arrived today.

Aunt Wu stopped him, saying, "The man who arrested your second sister-in-law is a big and strong man. You can't beat him. Wait here first and don't cause trouble for your second sister-in-law and the officials."

Han Zheng didn't listen and asked the driver to drive forward.

The driver was very skilled and in the blink of an eye the carriage was more than ten meters away. Aunt Wu opened her mouth but no sound came out.

Li Yu's side.

The carriage traveled for nearly two hours and stopped at the foot of a mountain.

The man named Guan tied up the legs and feet of He Mengyan and Li Yu, and went behind a tree not far away to solve his personal problems.

He Mengyan took the opportunity to say, "Boss Li, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble again."

Li Yu said: "This time I should thank you."

The man surnamed Guan was obviously coming for her, and He Mengyan was blocking the disaster for her.

"Boss Li, what should we do?" He Mengyan asked in a low voice.

Li Yu said, "Let's wait a moment." She had a dagger in her sleeve, but the road was too rugged and the carriage could not move fast. Even if she used the dagger to cut the rope, she could not escape.

He Mengyan saw that she was calm and composed, and her legs were not so weak anymore.

The man surnamed Guan came back soon. After eating for a while, he stuffed Li Yu and He Mengyan into the car and continued driving forward.

This time the carriage did not stop on the way until evening, when it stopped in a woods.

There was a stream in the woods. The man surnamed Guan pulled Li Yu and He Mengyan out and asked, "Who of you knows how to cook?"

"I will." Li Yu answered without hesitation.

The man surnamed Guan took out a bundle from the carriage and went to the stream to catch a few crucian carps. "You cook for me."

Li Yu jumped up and down, "You need to untie me."

The man surnamed Guan stared at her for a few moments, then walked over and impatiently untied the ropes on her hands and feet.

"Don't play tricks on me, or I'll kill her." The man surnamed Guan pointed at He Mengyan.

Li Yu shook his hands and said, "Don't worry, I won't run away."

The man surnamed Guan snorted.

The man surnamed Guan wanted to drink soup, so Li Yu made him crucian carp soup.

The man was fully prepared. His bag contained not only a pot and a spatula, but also salt, oil and ginger powder.

Li Yu cleaned the fish by the stream and scrubbed the pot clean. Then he came back and built a makeshift stove with stones, put the pot on it, lit the firewood and started cooking.

First fry the fish in oil, then add water and ginger powder and boil.

Because there was not enough firewood, she looked for dead branches around.

A fish soup took nearly two quarters of an hour to cook. When the soup had completely turned into a milky white color, Li Yu scooped up the soup and brought it to the man named Guan.

The man surnamed Guan looked at the soup, then looked at her, "Drink this bowl first."

It was completely dark, and the light from the makeshift stove reflected on his face, making him look as terrifying as a demon.

Li Yu took a deep breath, blew on the fish soup, and thought it was ready to be eaten, so he drank it all in one breath.

After the last drop of fish soup entered his mouth, Li Yu turned the bowl upside down and asked, "Is it ready?"

The man surnamed Guan waited for a while and said, "Bring the pot to me."

He actually wanted to eat with the pot.

Li Yu didn't say anything and brought the pot to him as he requested.

The man surnamed Guan picked up the spoon and drank from it in big gulps.

Halfway through drinking, he suddenly felt a little dizzy and looked at Li Yu abruptly.
