chapter xx - she shows off, tears surrender

Tong Yao went crazy looking for it, but no matter how she looked, she could not find the entrance to the tomb passage she had seen back then.

  She didn't even know the exact location, and could only make out a rough location on the collapsed dirt floor.

  "Second Miss, Lin Yi should be dead." Uncle Fang said expressionlessly.

  He had sent his men to dig for a long time, but they had never been able to dig a passage, and it was almost time to give up.

  Tong Yao desperately shook her head, unwilling to accept this fact, "No, it won't!"

  Seeing that Tong Yao's emotions were somewhat out of control, Tong Lei hastily pulled her back and comforted her, "Forget it, it's us who owe Lin Yi, turn around and see what other relatives he has, make up for it more."

  "No! How can he die? How can he die?"

  Tong Yao was doubly devastated and cried, "I'm the one who should die, I'm a sick child, I don't have long to live anyway, I'm the one who should die!"

  "Yao Yao!"

  Tong Lei's face did not look too good, she said with some angry seriousness, "Don't talk nonsense, go back with me!"

  Saying that, Tong Lei pulled Tong Yao backwards.

  "No! I don't want to! Don't!!!" Tong Yao was like a little child, her legs kicking desperately, and she did not want to go at all.

  Uncle Fang also had quite a headache and advised, "Second Miss, go back, Lin Yi was buried under it, he died a long time ago.

  "Go back with me!" Tong Lei had a stern face, completely moved by anger.

  Tong Yao was close to despair, usually so spoiled stray cats and dogs that even an ant couldn't stand to step on her, now Lin Yi for her, but hard buried alive under the ground, how could she accept it!

  But a weak girl's resistance is just useless.

  Tong Lei winked, and after Uncle Fang apologized, he forcefully dragged Tong Yao down the mountain.

  The roadless mountain was completely silent.

  The only sound that could be heard was the girl's crying, which surrounded the mountainside and hurt her heart.

  ...

  Lin Yi was in a doubly good mood, it seemed like everything he did today went smoothly.

  His cultivation had skyrocketed to the fifth level of the Qi Practice Stage, and he had escaped from the ground, not to mention that after waiting on the road of the national highway for no more than a few minutes, he had met a friendly van master who had driven Lin Yi back to the city on his way.

  When he rang the doorbell of the mansion, no one answered.

  "Strange, has Tong Yao not come back?" Lin Yi frowned.

  But soon, his eyebrows widened again, those big men who had not left all went down with him, Tong Yao and the others were definitely safe and would be fine.

  Although he didn't know why Tong Yao and Tong Lei were not at home, Lin Yi didn't think too much about it, no one opened the door and it wasn't hard for him to defeat them.

  With a leap in the air, he jumped into the courtyard and tumbled in through the window opening.

  Lin Yi took a hot shower downstairs and cleaned all the dirty impurities from his body, and then he started to check the medicinal herbs.

  After making sure that there were no problems, Lin Yi stored the herbs, took a potted plant from the courtyard, and planted the herbs in it.

  At that time, when he was picking under the ground, Lin Yi picked those herbs that were very easy to survive, and with the simplest planting method, he was able to make those herbs survive for a year and a half without dying.

  After everything was arranged, Lin Yi sat cross-legged in the living room and began to cultivate.

  But not even ten minutes into his cultivation, there was a commotion outside the villa.

  Click.

  The sound of the door opening rang out, and Lin Yi opened his eyes and looked over.

  "I don't want to go home! I want to find Lin Yi! I want to find his body no matter what!" Tong Yao cried and struggled, refusing to go in.

  Tong Lei dragged her and scolded, "That's enough! He was sacrificed for you, it's only right that you live well for me!"

  Sitting on the sofa, Lin Yi rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

  At this moment, it wasn't right for him to say anything, and it wasn't right for him not to say anything either.

  Seeing Tong Yao's dying look, after thinking about it, Lin Yi decided to interject, "So what ...? Good evening ah ..."

  Hearing this voice, the original desperately struggling Tong Yao suddenly didn't move, and Tong Lei was also as if she had seen a ghost, staring dead at Lin Yi who was sitting on the sofa with a somewhat embarrassed face.

  "You ... you you you!!!"

Tong Yao stared wide eyed and pointed at Lin Yi, who kept pointing at her and couldn't even speak clearly.

  Lin Yi lightly coughed twice and asked, "The second miss was just ...?"

  Tong Yao's face immediately turned red, she hurriedly wiped her tear stains secretly, and rushed over to Lin Yi with a huff, "You guy, pissed off, I have to!!!"

  Saying that, Tong Yao pinched Lin Yi's arm.

  Tong Yao's hand was almost pinched red, but Lin Yi had no ripples in his heart, and even wanted to scratch a little, he yawned in boredom.

  After returning to God, Tong Lei was shocked and asked, "How ... how ... do you do it?"

  "It's a long story."

  Lin Yi just coped with it, a lot of things in the middle were hidden, just said that the few big men were trapped inside, and he secretly saw the opportunity to jump into a river, and after swimming for a long time, he realized that he had come out.

  After hearing all this, Tong Lei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Lin Yi really had a great life!

  However, Tong Yao did not think so, she suddenly felt that it was simply great that Lin Yi was still alive!

  As for how good ...

  She couldn't say, she just felt that if Lin Yi really died, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

  Seemingly thinking of something, Tong Yao hesitated before asking, "Hey, why are you so stupid?"

  "What?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, not understanding.

  Tong Yao rolled her eyes and said, "Why did you do it when you knew it was dangerous? You could have just left us behind and gone by yourself!"

  This was true, at that time, Lin Yi had a hostage in his hand and a shotgun, if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.

  But what made Tong Yao scratch her head and couldn't understand was...

  Why did he want to save people?

  Under Tong Yao's stare, Lin Yi casually and easily said, "You treat me like a friend, so of course I can't treat you badly.

  Saying that, Lin Yi seemed to feel that it was a bit inappropriate for him to say that, and he subconsciously glanced at Tong Lei.

  Luckily, Tong Lei didn't have any abnormalities either, so she said a word and went up the stairs.

  As she walked to the corner of the stairs, Tong Lei paused for a moment and turned back to ask, "Yao Yao, it's eleven o'clock now, when are you coming up to bed?"

  "I ..."

  Tong Yao hesitated for a moment, her face was a bit strange as she whispered, "Sister, you go to sleep first, I'll go to bed later, I have something to talk to Lin Yi about.

  Tong Lei nodded and said, "That's fine, remember to go to bed early, you still have to go to class tomorrow, Monday."

  When Tong Lei went all the way upstairs, Lin Yi looked at Tong Yao with a strange face and asked, "Talk about what?"

  "You come with me!" Tong Yao didn't say anything, she just walked towards the backyard.

  Lin Yi had no choice but to follow her.

  Tong Yao took small steps and slowly walked to the grass, found a flatter place and sat down.

"What is it?" Lin Yi was slightly confused.

  Tong Yao patted the grass next to her, "Sit down!"

  Lin Yi was confused and sat down next to Tong Yao, waiting for her to speak.

  Tong Yao didn't talk about anything serious, she stretched her back and made a trip back, looking up at the starry sky, "Lin Yi, do you really consider me a friend?"

  "Sort of." After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yi nodded.

  This kind of thing, friends, Lin Yi had never touched it after living for so many years, he simply did not know what the so-called friends really meant.

  The two remained silent for a long time.

  Tong Yao turned her cheeks to the side, a pair of big clear and bright eyes gazing at Lin Yi, as if a clear spring was flowing, and with the breeze of her mood, it was flooded with gusts of snowy waves.

  Suddenly, Tong Yao burst out laughing.

  When she laughed, it was as if she was full of fragrant fine wine, making people feel as if they were in the spring breeze, Yao Yao blossomed, and the fragrant paths met with a shocking smile.

  Lin Yi was stunned.

  He had never seen such pure and flawless dimples before, he had seen too many smiles that were ridicule and mockery, but he had never seen someone smile kindly at him.

  "I'm happy to have another friend, but ..."

  Tong Yao smiled slightly, spat out her tongue and said, "I'll die soon, so I can't be friends with you all the time."

  After saying that, without waiting for Lin Yi to open his mouth, Tong Yao patted the dust on her bottom and stood up.

  She turned around and left the courtyard.

  No one noticed that Tong Yao, with her back turned to Lin Yi, was biting her lips with her conch teeth, suddenly she was a little heartbroken and a little shy.

  She was trying to be brave, her tears surrendering.

  The words were sealed in the deepest part of her heart, but she was not qualified to say them, even if her family was rich, even if her face was beautiful, she was just a patient who was about to die.

  "I am sorry, if I am not a sick person, how good it would be ..."

  "In that case, I would be able to tell you in front of your face, in a big way ..."

  "Then I kind of like you, Lin Yi."
