Chapter 173 Almost 1 point
Under Yue Tianci's relentless harassment, his elder sister was simply fed up.
Fortunately, the heroine Xiaolou was reasonable and kept her promise, and took the initiative to accept his request to go with him to find the person.
"Sister, just wait. We will come back after Chenshi, whether we have found the person or not."
Yue Tianci felt that he was the leader of the small group, so he naturally had to protect them.
Even if he got beaten and cried when he got home, he would definitely go find someone. He couldn't bear it if anything happened to anyone.
It was impossible for Yue Pengyu to go look for him personally. It would not look good if the people from Hengjian Villa caused trouble in Luoyang Boat.
She had come to capture her own brother, and now he was safe.
She doesn't really care about other kids.
Yue Pengyu thought that since he was here, it would be good to let him see the evil of human nature.
He asked the guards behind him to follow him and said apologetically to Lou Xiao, "Thank you, lady."
"It's just a piece of cake." Yue Tianci couldn't wait to urge,
"Come on, come on! Where is the maid who just took the money from my sister? Have you seen He Xi and Yu Dongling?
One of them was wearing maroon clothes and looked dull, and the other was thin and tall like a bamboo pole and not very smart..."
Lou Xiao glanced at him and thought, why does it seem that in his eyes, no one else is as smart as him?
The three of them hadn't walked a few steps when a servant came to report. Yue Tianci stopped them and asked anxiously,
"Is there any news? Where are they?"
The waiter was a stranger and looked young, but he knew the rules and did not dare to speak.
It was only after Yue Tianci reported my sister's name that I got the news.
"The woman in maroon clothes got lost and went to the backyard. She was just asked to come out.
As for the other one... his whereabouts are still unknown."
"Have you seen three sneaky guys, one of whom has a broken wrist?"
The waiter shook his head. There were all kinds of guests in the Luoyang pleasure boat. How could he be sure?
"Then only Yu Dongling is left...what should I do?" He looked at Lou Xiao for help.
She had no other choice but to "explore room by room".
Lou Xiao glanced at the silent square-faced guard behind Yue Tianci, and then exchanged glances with him.
There was a tacit understanding between them, letting him look after this unreliable young master.
The rest is up to her to do.
She stepped on the railing and grasped the window frame with one hand, then jumped onto the colorful lights and had a panoramic view of the area below.
Yue Tianci leaned on the railing and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
What are you doing? Looking for someone.
Everything in front of me is slowly blurring and slowing down, including the sound and the picture.
She saw Yue Tianci standing at the railing and continuing to say something, but it was no longer clear.
Music, voices, footsteps, clinking of cups, panting...
It was like she was pulling apart layers of curtains, magnifying them, and everything around her used sound to create another picture.
Any tiny sound becomes extremely clear.
Just like what she had felt countless times when she stood on the misty mountain and was asked by her master to calm her mind and concentrate her energy.
The identification of sounds is more real than what is seen with the naked eye. Lou Xiao still remembers the voices of those thieves, as well as the young man named Yu Dongling, whose voice was similar to that of Yue Tianci.
"...Get lost! How can you serve me!"
"...Speaking of this jade pendant, it cost me more than six hundred taels. I will never see it in this quality again..."
"...Yu Heng is nothing! He has to have a connection with the headmaster of Mo Liu Academy and the Pei family of Yunsu City..."
"...I hope you will accept this thirty thousand taels of silver. Please take a look at the matter of salt tax..."
"...Don't touch me...Please...mmmm"
Everything became clear, as if the soul had returned. Lou Xiao's eyes suddenly turned red as she jumped off the lantern.
Rushed towards a narrow path downstairs.
Yue Tianci didn't know what happened, he only knew that she seemed to be dazed for a while and then ran away.
The whole person was not feeling well, "She, she left? Don't care?"
The square-faced guard at least understood a little, and whispered, "Young Master, shall we follow them first?"
Yue Tianci realized it later and ran towards her, not caring about whether he would bump into anyone on the way.
"Huh! Did she see someone? Why didn't she even say hello? Ah! Where is she?!"
The guard pulled him back in time and he barely kept up with Lou Xiao's pace.
The houses in Luoyang Houseboat are densely packed and the roads are winding. Along the way, the brightly lit corridors turned into narrow, dark, and numerous closed guest rooms.
No matter how ignorant Yue Tianci was, when he walked past the guest rooms and heard some ambiguous noises, he instantly understood what the people inside were doing.
He couldn't believe it at first, because he had always thought that Luoyang Houseboat was an elegant place, how could such a dirty thing happen?
But then I thought, my sister would come here occasionally, could it be that she also...
The innocent boy just felt uncomfortable all over. He spit on everything that was happening, but at the same time he felt that he didn't understand...
Can Master Yuheng also do... that?
Yue Tianci was distracted when he heard a loud bang in front of him, and then the same thing happened as before.
Screams, the muffled sound of fists hitting flesh, and... crying.
When Yue Tianci arrived, he was holding onto the wooden door that had been kicked open and gasping for breath, his chest feeling as if it was being pricked by needles.
He immediately saw a figure lying on the ground, curled up in a ball, and heard the hoarse crying sound.
"Yu Dongling!"
The figure trembled and shrank even more.
Yue Tianci quickly squatted down to check if he was injured. "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid, we are here! You are okay! Are you hurt anywhere? Speak!"
The boy buried his face in his sleeves and refused to look up. He sobbed from time to time, but refused to say a word.
Yue Tianci looked up and asked for help from Lou Xiao who was tying someone up, "Sister Xiaolou...what should I do? He won't listen to me..."
Lou Xiao, who was startled by his address, could not help but increase her strength. The thief with his mouth stuffed groaned in pain and was hit by her punch again.
"You're scared, right? You'll come to your senses after a while. You..." She looked at Yue Tianci's guard and didn't know how to address him. The other party was very sensible.
"I'll bring some more people to arrest him. Please keep an eye on our young master, lady."
Lou Xiao nodded, and Yue Tianci had already knelt on the ground, crouching over and whispering comfort to the frightened boy.
"Don't be afraid, let's kill all these maniacs, okay?
I'll go talk to the authorities and make sure they'll be in big trouble.
Look at me, don’t cry, the same thing happened to me just now, you see I’m fine.
We are all fine. My sister is here to look for me. It’s not fun here. Let’s go home now.”
After much persuasion, the young man lying on the ground finally opened his eyes and nodded.
He accidentally saw Lou Xiao's figure and quickly shrank into a ball, ignoring whatever Ren Yue Tianci said.
