The villain has been playing badly for ten years

"Ding ding dong dong..."

A row of wind chimes moves with the wind.

Behind the temple, there is a quiet little courtyard, surrounded by green bamboos. The bamboo shadows are swaying, the breeze is blowing gently, and a light rain brings coolness.

Hua Jianbai didn't know what was happening to him. He lay there in a daze for several hours before finally getting up from exhaustion. He had already changed into clean clothes, and the snow-blue clothes were washed and placed aside.

But except for his face, his whole body was covered with gauze.

Only then did he feel pain all over his body, as if his skin had been burned by fire, and as if a sharp knife was gently squeezing his nerves.

If it were in the past, I would definitely cry, but now I don’t even have the time to cry.

He looked around and what caught his eye was an elegant landscape painting with misty clouds and green mountains, which seemed to lead people into a fairyland far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Next to the painting is an antique desk with a celadon lamp on it.

Liu Liu was lying on the table. When she heard the noise, she immediately raised her head and grinned at him: "Little brother, if you don't wake up, I'm going to cry!"

"Little girl, where's Ning Xiusu? Have you seen him?"

"Are you asking about the Great Protector..."

Seeing that she was so dazed and silly, Hanamibai was too lazy to say anything more and was about to get up and go find someone, but as soon as he moved, the wound started to hurt again.

He really couldn't help it and was sweating profusely.

"Liuliu, were you the one who bandaged my wound?"

She nodded. Hua Jianbai was really convinced. No wonder it hurt so much. He asked:

"You are obviously a spiritual practitioner, so why can't you use magic to heal my injuries?"

Seeing this, Liuliu pouted in pain, but didn't know what to do, so she started playing with her fingers.

"Liuliu, I'm talking to you."

"Hmm... little brother, I want to use magic to heal you, but if I heal you too quickly, you'll run away. Who will help me find my sister then?"

Hua Jianbai was speechless and spread his hands: "No, you have to cure me, so I can take you everywhere to look for it, right?"

"Little brother, swear not to run away."

"Okay, I swear."

Liuliu looked at the pretty face, her eyes were like mountain springs, sincere and earnest.

She couldn't help but curl her rosy little lips, lifted her hibiscus-colored cheeks, and nodded.

"Little brother, whatever you say is fine."

Seeing her infatuated behavior, Hanamibai felt his back go numb, as if he had been haunted by a ghost.

"Ahahaha... So what are you waiting for, little girl?"

He laughed dryly and pointed to his swollen leg.

Liu Liu was very obedient. She formed seals with her hands. The hem of her red dress moved without wind, the gold weaving shone with light. She muttered something:

"The wind blows freely, and the will changes and the spirit moves!"

It was as if a breeze was picked from outside the window, transformed into red clouds, and scattered into petals. When it fell, a faint rosy glow shone brightly.

Hua Jianbai felt that the painful parts of his body seemed to be wrapped in the warmth of a spring breeze, and for a moment, he felt extremely relaxed.

"Liuliu, you are so amazing, but this isn't the technique of the Shangqing Sect, right?"

Her beautiful eyes were one purple and one white, and she blinked at him, "Little brother, how do you know? Have you been to Shangqing Sect?"

"That's not important. Tell me, where is Ning Xiusu?"

"The Great Protector... well, the Great Protector was locked up by the bearded man."

Hua Jianbai was in a hurry to leave, but when he stood up, his body swayed again. This time it was not his feet that hurt, but his head that felt dizzy.

Liu Liu was startled, and she grabbed the man's arm and asked cautiously: "Little brother, are you fainting from hunger? I'll take you to eat..."

Hua Jianbai felt that what she said made sense. He really had not eaten a single grain of rice and was about to starve to death.

He nodded and followed Liuliu to a small courtyard with a kitchen next to it. The layout was simple yet ancient, and there was a string of wind chimes hanging on the lintel.

There were several copper pots and pans on the stove, and a steamer with some cold steamed buns in it.

As long as there is something to eat, it’s fine. Hua Jianbai is not picky and will just put it in his mouth.

He swallowed a few mouthfuls without hesitation, then saw a clear well next to the stove. He picked up a ladle and scooped water from it. After drinking a few mouthfuls of the clear water, he felt a little full.

He started to worry about Ning Xiusu again. This shabby place was like a rat hole. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out.

And my eldest nephew, why didn't I even see him...

Hua Jianbai was just thinking about it when he heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him. The sound sounded strangely familiar. He looked outside the door and saw Pu Boyu as expected.

"Nephew!"

Pu Boyu had been in the cave for a long time, and his bronze skin had become a little whiter. Now he changed into clean coarse clothes and carried a basket on his back. He grinned at him and took out a pack of oil paper from the basket.

Before Hua Jianbai took it, he smelled the strong aroma of meat, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Wow, lotus leaf chicken..."

Liuliu also smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but move closer between the two of them.

Hua Jianbai was so hungry that he said, "Ayu, you have done a great thing and saved my life."

As he spoke, he stuffed the chicken into his mouth. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, a rare delicacy. A bite revealed that the outside was crispy and delicious, and the meat was juicy and tender.

No matter how you eat it, it will satisfy your craving and hunger.

Pu Boyu grinned, "Aunt, you look like a starving ghost."

"Right, do you have any left? I need to find the villain and bring him some too."

Unexpectedly, Pu Boyu shushed him, as if sneaking around: "Aunt, he's being targeted by these crazy people now, let's not join in the fun."

"Ayu, you're being too rude! The villain is on our side after all. How can we just ignore him?"

"That's not what I meant. I meant that we should sneak out first so that we can find someone to rescue him."

Liu Liu listened for a while, then narrowed her eyes and said curiously:

"Hey, I get it, little brother. You have to go against the bearded guy!"

Hua Jianbai then realized that the girl was still there.

"No, Liuliu, we want to..."

"Great!"

Hua Jianbai was about to explain, but the girl stomped her feet and waved her arms excitedly.

"Bearded men are the most annoying. I don't like bearded men. I want to join you!!!"

……

"Okay, little girl, why don't you do me a favor."

Liuliu tilted her head: "What?"

She pointed at the big man beside her and heard him say, "Help me send him out..."

"Oh," Liuliu responded, sat on the stove, and swung her legs around.

As Hua Jianbai was speaking, Pu Boyu shook his head like a rattle:

"Auntie, this is not possible. The mine is so dangerous. You should be the one to leave!"

"Nonsense, it's because you're too stupid. You can't help here. Besides, you're going out to get help. The most important thing is to get the secret medicine to Xiaoxiao."

Hua Jianbai has always been outspoken. As he spoke, he handed the thing wrapped in several layers in his pocket to Pu Boyu.

"Auntie, you want to leave such an important matter to me???"

"Anyway, there aren't many people left in the domain except you, and... I'm even more worried about you being here."

When Pu Boyu heard him say this, his thick brows were furrowed. He had a lot to say, but he swallowed it back.

Hanamibai had never seen him so solemn before. "What are you doing? It's not like we're parting forever."

"I'm sorry... Auntie, I'm sorry..."

He choked up for a moment, tears welling up in his eyes. He didn't know why, but his emotions felt like a heavy burden falling off his shoulders.

Hua Jianbai's face darkened and he said angrily, "Hey, why are you crying? It's not good to learn!"

He calmed down now and asked, "But aunt, who can I find to save you when I go out?"

"How stupid, Meng Qilian!"

Hua Jianbai just cursed and then realized that this kid had indeed never seen Meng Qilian.

"You forgot what I told you about in the system, the handsome Privy Council official who always wore black and had a stern face."

Liu Liu sat at the stove, her gold-woven red silk skirt stained with dust, but she ignored it. She also didn't listen to the two people's conversation, instead fiddling with the wind chimes on the door frame above her head.

It wasn't until he felt someone patting his shoulder that he tilted his head to look at Hua Jianbai, "Little brother, have you understood what I'm talking about?"

"Liuliu, you must help me get this kid out, and you can't lie to me!"

The little girl promised him, giggling: "Okay, little brother, whatever you say is what it is."
