Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Was it because of trust, or was it just false information?

The girl opposite was too sincere and defenseless, and Li Huoyue couldn't tell what she was thinking for a moment.

"Then how do we get in touch with them?" Li Huoyue asked naturally.

Huang Ruochu raised his wrist, revealing a silver bracelet. The bracelet was very simple in style, with only a red stone the size of a fingernail inlaid on it.

There is a white mark in the redstone, which is in the shape of a Moss Ubbe ring with a line running through it. The whole mark looks like a string of candied haws that has been eaten and thrown on the ground.

"Usually they contact me, and I don't have any channels to contact them actively." Huang Ruochu said, pointing to the red stone on his wrist, "This was originally used to call for help, but I really have no other way to contact them."

After Huang Ruochu finished speaking, he was about to press the redstone.

Even in the dim lakeside, the mark can be clearly seen.

Li Huoyue suddenly stopped Huang Ruochu with such great force that Huang Ruochu felt like his wrist was about to break.

“What the hell!!! Aaaaaaaa!!! It hurts!! What are you doing?!!! Let go, let go!!!”

Li Huoyue was too familiar with this mark.

This is the mother's prop mark.

Hearing Huang Ruchu cry out in pain, Li Huoyue realized that he had not controlled his strength well. He quickly let go and said sorry.

"Why are you stopping me all of a sudden?" Huang Ruochu looked at his wrist with heartache. He felt that he had not recovered yet and could not use any strength. "My hand is not broken, is it?"

Li Huoyue was just testing him, but he didn't expect this man to be so honest that he even dared to use the life-saving signal.

If a group of people were really summoned to rescue Huang Ruchu, Li Huoyue would have a hard time dealing with them all at once.

"They will take action tomorrow, and they should be deploying their forces closely now. I'm afraid you will disrupt their plans." Li Huoyue seemed to be very concerned about Huang Ruochu. "Besides, this is for you to save your life. You don't look like you can take it, so save it for a real emergency."

Huang Ruochu didn't expect that, just now she thought Li Huoyue was a big devil who killed people without blinking an eye, but now she felt that this person was a little angel who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside!

"You are so nice." Huang Ruochu said with a slightly tearful voice.

Li Huoyue didn't know what to say. Huang Ruchu was too unguarded towards people. She didn't even think about it. What if Li Huoyue was sent by her father, the special inspector, to "fish"?

Fortunately, it suddenly started to rain, and the rain was so fine and dense that it almost soaked my clothes.

"Let's go back first." Li Huoyue took the lead, "Doctor Huo should be done with it too."

When mentioning Xuan'er, Huang Ruochu patted his somewhat depressed face, tried hard to cheer himself up, and then ran quickly to catch up with Li Huoyue.

The two of them ran together in the drizzle, at their own pace, in the same direction.

When they arrived at Huang Ruochu's home, Doctor Huo seemed to have already made a diagnosis and written a prescription. He sat at the table calmly listening to Huang's father and mother praising him.

As soon as he saw Li Huoyue coming back, his face changed immediately and he snorted angrily: "I thought you ran away because you couldn't afford the medical fee!"

Huang's father and mother quickly explained that they would pay for it themselves.

Doctor Huo didn't listen.

Li Huoyue took over the conversation:

"Oh, what should I do? How about I help you report it to the police?"

Doctor Huo became even angrier. He picked up his medicine box and walked out, cursing as he walked: "You little brat, who cares about your lousy money! Remember to ask your fifth brother to help me look after the shop for two days! Otherwise, I will really report it to the police!"

"It's raining outside. Are you leaving now? I'll see you off!" Li Huoyue shouted behind him.

Doctor Huo seemed to be walking even faster. It seemed difficult for him to be forced to run so fast even though his hair was already white. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Li Huoyue stood at the door and untied the reins from the hitching stone.

Huang Ruochu's entire family came out to see him off.

"Miss Li, today..." Huang's mother held the drowsy Xuan'er and spoke in a choked voice.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Li Huoyue: "Aunt, I read the prescription given by Doctor Huo. Xuan'er's illness seems to have been delayed for a long time, so this medicine must be provided for a long time. I'm afraid it will cost a lot."

Huang Ruchu hadn't seen the prescription and didn't know what was going on. He turned around and looked at his mother inquiringly.

The mother nodded with difficulty: "...Indeed."

Li Huoyue jumped onto the horse and pulled the reins:

"I heard that your family now relies entirely on your uncle for income. There is no need to say too much, because every family has difficulties.

Miss Huang is my sister-in-law’s childhood friend and she is sworn sister to my sister-in-law. Xuan’er is also my half-nephew, so it is only natural for us to help each other.

For Xuan'er's future medication, please trouble Miss Huang to come to our Li Mansion to get it. This will give my sister-in-law someone to talk to."

Huang's mother wanted to speak again: "How come..."

But she still couldn't say the real refusal.

Xuan'er needs treatment, but the Huang family really can't afford the money.

Li Huoyue pulled the reins, and the maroon horse turned its head obediently.

"It's going to rain heavily, uncle and aunt, I'm going back home first."

Li Huoyue had barely finished his words when he stepped into the night alley.

Huang's mother shouted worriedly into the darkness: "Be careful on the road, Miss Li!"

Li Huoyue's horse was well-maintained and returned to the Li Mansion before the rain got heavier.

Although she was protected by the cloak, the rain was falling too fast and almost all of it fell on her body. Fortunately, her hair was well protected, so she didn't have to spend time taking care of it.

After simply changing his clothes, Li Huoyue took the lantern and went to the fourth brother's study again.

As soon as she opened the door, there were four people sitting inside as she expected.

"Haven't found the old three again?" Li Huoyue casually glanced at the number of people and knew who was missing without even looking at their faces.

The fourth brother's facial expression looks very cold, but in fact he is the one who talks the most except the third brother.

Hearing Li Huoyue's question, the fourth brother was the first to answer: "No, but I haven't heard of any unidentified male corpse anywhere, so he should not be dead yet."

The third and fourth children are twins.

The fourth child had been interested in intelligence gathering since he was young, but the third child did not show much interest. It was not until they were a little older that they made an appointment to go to some obscure places together and discovered the third child's "talent".

One of them was secretly and excitedly setting up an intelligence network and trying to recruit martial arts masters, while the other one was just happily going out to have fun, and at such a young age he was so sweet-talking that the pretty girls were unwilling to let him go.

The third child often plays until he forgets everything else and occasionally gets into trouble.

The Li family was not considered a wealthy family in Kyoto, but he acted like his ancestors were all playboys for three generations.

Li Huoyue has never liked him very much. Whenever the family goes out together, no one is willing to stand next to him, for fear of getting into trouble.

"If he's not here, then he's not here." Li Huoyue didn't care.

Anyway, it won’t make any difference whether the third brother is present or not.

"Is there any news about mother?" asked the eldest brother.
