What was more her waist did not hurt anymore and Li Yuya felt rejuvenated!
Chen Mi laughed lightly and then said, " If you like it so much then you can eat another bowl. Make sure to praise your Brother Li once you go back home."
Li Yuya nodded. She really liked her brothers-in-law's cooking, they were indeed quite skilled in making delicious meals, no wonder her cousin was enamoured by them. They won her heart through her stomach.
Yu Dong who knew what Li Yuya was thinking did not say anything. Though her husbands were indeed good at cooking, they were not extraordinarily good. Li Yuya and the others had no idea that the food tasted so good because the chicken was raised with the help of fodder soaked in spiritual water and the well water of the Yu family house was brimming with spiritual energy.
After breakfast everyone went back to work, Yu Dong also turned her attention to instilling spiritual energy in the fields but then as her eyes swept across everyone's faces in the fields she realized that someone seemed to have gone missing.
" Where is Lu Huo?" She questioned Meng Jing who just returned from washing his hands. Yu Dong carefully looked around and sure enough, she did not find Lu Huo who was supposed to be fertilizing the fields.
Meng Jing frowned and then answered, " He said that he wanted to freshen himself up. He drank a lot of water and then went to the field with long grass. I called him when I was returning but he did not reply nor did he come out, so I thought he returned to the fields. I did not expect that he was not back yet." Exclusive tales from freewebnovel
Yu Dong frowned. She turned to look at Ye Liu and said, " Come with me."
Ye Liu nodded. He was aware of what happened to Lu Huo last evening and thus he followed Yu Dong, the two of them walked up to the field where the grass as long as humans were covering the entire ground.
" Lu Huo, are you in there?" Ye Liu stepped forward in the field but he did not see anyone nor did he hear any response. He turned to look at Yu Dong who frowned and stepped down in the field, there was indeed no one in the field as she had released her spiritual energy to track down human presence.
" He is not here," Yu Dong searched the ground and finally found a row of shallow footprints. Her eyes flashed with annoyance as she turned to look at Ye Liu and then said, " You brought your dagger?" She had taught Ye Liu how to aim for the weakest point of the human body such that he would be able to tackle anyone who tried to harm him.
Though she wanted to teach Chen Mi and the rest as well they were too scared at the very idea of learning stabbing someone to death.
Only Ye Liu was hard-hearted enough to face his fears.
Ye Liu nodded and only then did the two of them walk towards the direction in which the footprints went. The footprints led them out of the village and down a narrow path, the two of them soon found the path that led them up to the back of the mountain which did not belong to them.
Yu Dong looked around the surroundings and soon she heard the sound of someone crying and whimpering.
She turned to look at the source of the sound and found Lu Huo tied up inside a small fissure in the large mountain wall. She walked around the boulder in front of the fissure and then pulled Lu Huo out who was pushed inside and helped him up.
While Ye Liu took out his dagger and then slashed the ropes that were holding Lu Huo's hands and legs tightly. He also took out the cloth that was tied around Lu Huo's mouth.
" Wuuu, Madam ——Madam Yu, Ma…Master Ye," the moment Lu Huo was helped out of the ropes he burst out crying as he looked at Yu Dong and Ye Liu with tears in his eyes. He threw himself at Ye Liu and started crying harshly, " Thank goodness you all came to see me …wuuu or el…else I would have died!"
After seeing Ye Liu and Yu Dong, Lu Huo seemed to have found a support pillar. He sobbed and cried while holding onto Ye Liu for dear life, when he was caught and dragged he felt like he was going to die, the terror he felt was enough to make him faint.
Lu Huo looked at Ye Liu and sobbed a bit more. Seeing him cry, Yu Dong felt a headache but she did not say anything and allowed the mer to cry, only when his whimpers softened did she ask, " Did you see who caught you just now?"
" No," Lu Huo shook his head. He raised his hand and then pushed his hair away from the back of his head where Yu Dong saw a huge lump. " Someone smashed the back of my head before dragging me away. I was on the verge of fainting when I was dragged here. Only now did I wake up because the pain was too much."
Because he was unconscious, he ended up banging his head on the wall of the fissure and ended up hurting his wound, because of this he woke up just now.
Yu Dong narrowed her eyes, she did not say anything after hearing Lu Huo's response. She was not worried about the attacker, if they caught Lu Huo and left him here then their target was not Lu Huo to begin with!
"Let us go back first," seeing that Lu Huo was startled Ye Liu helped him back to the village.
But when Yu Dong walked behind the two, she glanced at the tall rockeries behind the mountain and saw the mercenaries from last evening. Their leader had a bandage tied around her hand and was glaring at her, thus when their gazes met the leader made a violent gesture. As she pointed at the heads of the two mers whom she had killed last evening.
Right now their heads were hung low on the stony mountain.
