Chapter 162 - 162: Sandwiched Between Two Buns!
Chapter 162 - 162: Sandwiched Between Two Buns!
Amidst his shrill cries, Cheng Shilu ran wildly toward the edge of the cliff.
Ye Jingtang wanted to stop him, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
“Jingtang!” Luo Ning originally wanted to kick the crazy Cheng Shilu away, but when she saw this scene, she screamed in fright. She rushed to Ye Jingtang and raised her hand to seal his acupoints. At the same time, she wrapped the rope around his legs, pulled it hard, throwing him to the ground, and rode on his legs to tie him up. “Little thief! Don’t go crazy. Calm your mind…”
“I… I feel that something is wrong, but…” Ye Jingtang felt the medicinal power spreading to every inch of his flesh and blood. The feeling of ice and fire disappeared and was replaced by a scorching heat from the inside out. The qi in his body gradually surged, and his muscles and bones reacted. It felt as though a 300-pound girl was smearing essential oil on his back…
“Jingtang?” Pei Xiangjun had maintained a distance and watched from the top of the mountain ridge. When she saw Luo Ning rushing over, she originally didn’t move. But Ye Jingtang suddenly swayed a few times, making her realize that something was wrong. She flew over from the top of the mountain.
When Luo Ning heard the female boss’s voice, in her desperation, she wasn’t surprised. As if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw, she said anxiously, “Quickly hold him down. Don’t let him commit suicide.”
Pei Xiangjun had watched helplessly as Chang Shilu jumped down the loo-foot tall cliff and smashed his head on the pile of rocks below. Her face turned pale with fright. After landing in the courtyard, she rushed over, rode on Ye Jingtang’s chest, and pressed his hands down forcefully. “What did he get poisoned with?”
“Bone-burning hemp.”
Huh?” Pei Xiangjun had heard about this rare and powerful medicine that was a specialty of Northern Liang. She immediately used her thighs to clamp Ye Jingtang’s arms with all her might. She held his hands together and tied them with a rope.
As for Ye Jingtang…
Ye Jingtang’s mind was very clear. Although the qi in his body was gradually becoming violent, and his muscles and bones were trembling, it didn’t hurt. He felt a little… a little…
After all, he was lying on the ground with Heroine Luo riding on his calves and tying his legs with rope. The feeling of the moon was quite clear.
And Third Lady was even more overboard. In order to suppress him, she rode on his chest with her back facing him and clamped his upper body in a w-sitting posture.
Ye Jingtang’s chin was pressed against the big moon, sinking into it slightly, and he could clearly feel a heavy warmth on his neck.
Ye Jingtang was shocked by Cheng Shilu, who had committed suicide to seek relief. He shouldn’t have paid attention to this, but because his mind was very clear, he was forced to learn a piece of knowledge. Third Lady is the same as Heroine Luo. She has a steamed bun…
Ye Jingtang quickly swept away his distracting thoughts. Afraid that he would really lose control, he obediently let the two elder sisters hold him down and said, “If I really go crazy, you won’t be able to suppress me. Let’s go find a place without a cliff and tie me to a tree.”
Pei Xiangjun knew that if Ye Jingtang went crazy, even iron locks might break. The hemp rope could only temporarily restrain him.
After tying his hands with the rope, she originally wanted to lock him in the stone room in the house. But outside the villa, the Iron Buddha Ridge disciples, who didn’t dare to come in before, had discovered that their sect master had jumped off the cliff, and there was the sound of weapons being unsheathed.
“Bird, go show the way.”
“Chirp!”
After Pei Xiangjun finished instructing the bird, she turned over and stood up. She used the shafts of the two spears to pass under the ropes tying Ye Jingtang and made a makeshift stretcher.
Luo Ning grabbed the other end of the spear shafts and wanted to lift Ye Jingtang, who was tied up in ‘turtle shell bondage’, but she immediately said, “Gag his mouth. Don’t let him bite his tongue.”
Ye Jingtang hurriedly said, “Hey, there’s no need for that… Wuwu—”
Pei Xiangjun was quite efficient. She took off the silk scarf around her neck and stuffed it into Ye Jingtang’s mouth. Then she lifted the stretcher and jumped over the side wall with Luo Ning.
Ye Jingtang’s face turned red, and traces of sweat appeared on his forehead. But his eyes were quite clear. He was lying on the stretcher and tied up. The only thing he could move was his head. It felt rather strange, but his mouth was gagged, so he couldn’t speak. Just like that, he was carried away from the Iron Buddha Ridge…
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of gongs resounded in the fiery canyon. Countless commoners were running around inside and outside the mine, and a few minor officials from the town ran into the mining area. They could vaguely hear shouts.
“Boss Cheng fell to his death…”
“Father! Who was it? Who killed him?!”
“Someone from the Red Flower Pavilion came just now…”
There was a carriage parked on the official road outside the Iron Buddha Ridge. The carriage was covered with rainproof oilcloth, and the goods were tightly covered.
Cao Aning was dressed as a Jianghu escort. He was sitting on a horse and looking at the commotion on the Iron Buddha Ridge.
‘Blue Steel Mace’ Xu Bailin was leaning against the carriage and wiped his oil-stained right hand. “Why did the Red Flower Pavilion come here to kill someone?”
“Cheng Shilu didn’t have much ability and had a bad temper. Relying on his connections in the Imperial Court, he often didn’t give others face. Perhaps Ye Silang passed by here to sit down, and they got into a quarrel.”
“This Ye Silang also has a bad temper. He kills people at the slightest disagreement. If he messes around in Yun Province, he might be able to divert Ye Jingtang’s attention…”
“That’s for the best. Let’s go.”
Cao Aning turned his horse around and led the carriage toward Yun’an…
Five kilometers from the Iron Buddha Ridge, in an abandoned old temple…
There were no lights in the mountains at all. The moonlight shone on the old temple that was overgrown with weeds. The doors had long been damaged, leaving only the stone Buddha statue sitting alone on a stand.
In the dead of night, there were no humans in the surrounding mountains and wilderness. Only the cries of birds and insects sounded.
“Coo- coo-”
In the backyard of the temple, the bird was standing watch on the roof. The doors and windows of the room that was used to be the abbot’s were sealed. Lights were vaguely visible between the cracks, and two fox-demon-like charming voices sounded.
“Ning’er, hold him. Don’t let him move…”
“Do you have any more rope? I’ll take off his pants…”
“What’s the use of untying his belt and taking off his pants…”
“Wu—” the man grunted, his mouth gagged.
The commotion in the room sounded like two mountain fox demons had kidnapped a scholar and were inhumanely extracting his yang qi.
The actual situation was similar.
In the old room, there was some thatch on the ground and a burning flame stick on the windowsill.
There wasn’t any furniture in the room other than an old bed frame.
Ye Jingtang was tied up like a caterpillar by various things to stop him from moving. Not only were there ropes and belts, but there were even two sets of clothes. They were twisted into a rope and tied tightly around his hands and feet.
Luo Ning was wearing thin white pants and an undergarment with a full moon embroidered on her upper body. The scenery on the sides was unobstructed. She was leaning forward from one side and hugging Ye Jingtang’s upper body.
Pei Xiangjun was a little better. Because of her huge burden, she always wrapped herself up when she went out. At this moment, she was wearing black tight-fitting pants and a tightly wrapped black chest wrap. But her fair shoulders and collarbones, as well as her small waist and navel, were still clearly displayed under the candlelight.
Pei Xiangjun was leaning forward from the other side and hugging Ye Jingtang’s waist tightly with her leg locking his legs.
Ye Jingtang was being held in the middle by the two of them, but there was no joy or excitement on his face. His mouth was stuffed with a black silk scarf, his eyes were closed, his brows were tightly furrowed, his cheeks were flushed as if he was drunk, and visible mist was coming out of his hair bun. His body twitched from time to time.
Ye Jingtang didn’t feel any burning pain, but the qi in his body was surging, and all the muscles and bones in his body were twitching. It was as if he was being massaged by an old master. It didn’t hurt too much, but it was indeed a little unbearable. To be precise, the feeling was aching and refreshing.
He was hugged from the left and right. He wanted to explain, but his mouth was blocked. His struggles were fruitless, so he gave up resisting.
Luo Ning didn’t know how much pain the little thief was in, and her eyes were full of tears. In order to make him feel better, she pressed her face against his and used her forehead and cheeks to bring some coolness to the little thief’s burning body.
Pei Xiangjun, who was clasping her left hand with her right and hugging Ye Jingtang’s waist, looked up at his face, feeling anxious. “How long does the bone-burning hemp last?”
Luo Ning had only heard about this thing from Xue Baijin, so she couldn’t remember it clearly. She frowned and thought for a long time before replying, “It seems that the pain gradually subsides after two hours. It’s only been half an hour, and it’s not the most painful time yet… Little thief, try your best to stay awake and not lose your mind…”
“Wu wu…” Ye Jingtang replied twice, but she didn’t know what he meant.
Pei Xiangjun knew that without the suppression of a specific medicine, he could only rely on willpower to withstand bone-burning hemp. But if he couldn’t withstand it… She said anxiously, “Is there any use in knocking Jingtang out?”
“It’s useless. He’ll wake up from the pain soon. The qi in his body is too strong, and I can’t press his acupoints at all.”
“Can you distract him?”
“Distract him?” Luo Ning blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes. She knew that being distracted by something could make people feel slightly less pain or even forget it.
But this was for ordinary pain. The bone-burning hemp was an item that could cause pain to a person until they suffered a mental breakdown. It was said that it was similar to a branding iron branding the entire body. What could divert his attention?
Luo Ning’s mind raced as she thought about the little thief’s hobbies…
Uh…
Swish swish…
Seeing that Ye Jingtang’s resistance wasn’t strong, Luo Ning hugged him with one hand and pulled the full moon away with her right hand. “Little thief, look.”
Pei Xiangjun felt the restless man in her arms suddenly calm down. His tightly shut eyes opened a little and looked at the cult mistress’s…
?!
Pei Xiangjun’s anxious face turned red uncontrollably. She wanted to look away, but she was afraid that something would happen, so she could only carefully observe Ye Jingtang’s reaction.
Jingtang’s eyes widened a bit. He was obviously attracted by the cult mistress’s…
Luo Ning realized that this method was useful, so she hurriedly moved forward and rubbed watermelon cream on Ye Jingtang’s face.
!!
Pei Xiangjun’s almond-shaped eyes widened as she reminded, “Be careful of him biting you.”
Luo Ning hugged Ye Jingtang as if she were feeding a baby. Her face was a little red, but she wasn’t reserved. “His mouth is blocked. If he really bites me in pain, I will accept it.”
Pei Xiangjun noticed that Ye Jingtang was blinking. He was obviously a little touched and closed his eyes again.
Click, click..
A moment later, the sound of rope pulling taut sounded again.
Pei Xiangjun realized that Ye Jingtang was moving again and panicked. “This won’t work anymore. Jingtang can’t hold on anymore. Do you have any other solutions?”
Luo Ning didn’t know what to do either. Her mind raced. “Why don’t you try it?
Crack!
The room suddenly fell silent.
Ye Jingtang’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed. He even opened his eyes to look at Third Lady. Then he realized that something was wrong and hurriedly closed them again.
?!
The two women in the room fell silent. They were probably thinking: Jingtang (the little thief) is really powerful. Even though he’s suffering from fire-burning pain, he doesn’t forget to take advantage of women…
Pei Xiangjun’s face flushed red, but her movements were not slow. She instructed Luo Ning to control his legs while she climbed up.
“Wu wu…” Although Ye Jingtang wasn’t pretending, he wasn’t in so much pain that he wanted to die. Putting aside the question of whether it was suitable or not, he almost couldn’t hold it in anymore when Heroine Luo came. If Third Lady came as well, he would suffocate here even if he wasn’t drugged.
Ye Jingtang hurriedly shook his head, indicating that there was no need.
Pei Xiangjun said solemnly, “Don’t force yourself. It’s not like I haven’t been touched by you before.”
“Wu wu…” Ye Jingtang tried his best to look gentle. He shook his head to indicate that he was fine, then closed his eyes and lay down.
Seeing this, Pei Xiangjun stopped moving, hugged Ye Jingtang, and encouraged him gently. “Hang in there. It’ll be over in a few more minutes…”
Luo Ning was still applying watermelon cream to Ye Jingtang to cool him down while keeping track of the time in her mind.
But after two hours, they found that Ye Jingtang’s body was still burning hot. The only change was that the trembling of his bones and muscles slowly decreased. His breathing was a little hot, and his entire body was calm, as if he had fallen asleep.
Pei Xiangjun’s eyes were full of confusion as she asked, “Has Jingtang made it through?”
Luo Ning wasn’t sure either. She checked his pulse. “His pulse is stable. He looks like he’s asleep. What should we do now?”
Pei Xiangjun didn’t know either.. She was afraid that Ye Jingtang would do something strange again, so she pressed him down with Luo Ning and carefully observed his body…
