Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Life and Death in Two Days and Two Nights (Part 16)
 

Old Man Li stumbled and hurried through the cave.

Without anyone to guide him, the terrain inside the cave was complex and difficult to navigate. After taking two wrong turns, he tried to change direction again. By now, all he wanted to do was escape the cave.

He walked quickly, searching for the three twists Jiang Xiaocai had mentioned. After several attempts, he finally saw the unique light filtering in from the cave entrance.

His heart soared and he couldn’t help but quicken his pace.

Outside the cave, it was quiet and the stars were faintly visible. There was no sound or movement in the surroundings.

He glanced cautiously to the left and right, even carefully checking the soil near the entrance for any recent footprints. Only when he was sure there was none did he approach the cave exit, keeping close to the rocky wall as he crawled out.

The brilliant stars twinkled in the blue sky, accompanied by the bright moon that illuminated the earth.

“Hahaha! …Old Man Li has finally escaped!”

Old Man Li couldn’t help himself. Just like when he first crawled out of hell, he could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and laughed loudly three times.

“Yeah, I can’t believe you actually made it out alive!”

A mocking voice suddenly rang out from the front: “I thought you would die in the cave, but as the saying goes, disasters last for thousands of years. Old Man Li, long time no see!”

Startled, Old Man Li raised his head and squinted at the figure in front of him.

This time, he saw Zuo Xingyu sitting quietly on a tree branch not far away, coldly watching his escape.

“You! How could you be here?” Old Man Li was taken aback!

He naturally recognized Zuo Xingyu. If it weren’t for him, Old Man Li might not have been convicted. If he hated Di Yelei and Liu Sisi to the utmost, then he had at least 80% of that hatred for Zuo Xingyu, who was also on his revenge list.

He originally planned to deal with Di Yelei and Liu Sisi first before looking for Zuo Xingyu. He never expected to encounter him here.

“Why am I here? It’s because you’ve messed with someone you shouldn’t have!”

Zuo Xingyu jumped with ease, landing just five steps away from Old Man Li.

Whoever dared to attack the Li Sect, being able to live until now, he should be grateful enough!

Zuo Xingyu’s sudden approach startled Old Man Li, who hurriedly retreated a few steps: “Don’t come any closer! If you do, you’ll never know where she’s gone!”

By “her”, he implied Di Ying.

“Where is Di Ying? Where did she go?”

Upon mentioning Di Ying, Zuo Xingyu’s eyes flashed coldly: “Speak up, or I have a thousand ways to make you talk!”

“Ha! I’ve already put life and death behind me, come on if you dare!”

Old Man Li obviously didn’t expect this answer, so he snorted disdainfully: “I thought you were something special, a real man! It turns out you’re just a dog raised by the Di Family!”

Zuo Xingyu raised his eyebrows in contempt: “Wrong! Di Yelei isn’t worthy for me to serve. My Master isn’t him!”

“Oh, who is it then?”

As Old Man Li spoke, he subtly retreated his feet, his eyes darting about as if hoping to escape from Zuo Xingyu.

This move drew a scornful look in Zuo Xingyu’s eyes.

“Ask when you get to the King of Hell’s Palace!”

Zuo Xingyu still wore a coffin face, but his eyes flashed with murderous intent when he looked at Old Man Li. In his hand, a cold light flashed, seemingly unreachable to Old Man Li.

He felt a chilling wind hit him but couldn’t muster up the will to resist.

So, this is what it feels like when death really comes… He stood there stunned, unable to say a word.

“Wait, don’t kill him!”

A shout suddenly came from behind.

Old Man Li didn’t know what was happening, but the sound seemed to have pulled him back from the brink of death. Something icy-cold dripped on his head, and a large clump of hair drifted in the air, almost obscuring his entire vision…

Then he realized he had escaped death once again.

He relaxed and felt a cold sensation in his crotch, followed by a spread of yellow and turbid liquid. Just now, he couldn’t help but wet his pants.

NOW he finally understood that threats were useless in front of so-called experts!

Di Yelei and the others finally emerged from the cave.

At this moment, Di Yelei and the others were covered in dirt and grime. In addition to their group, there was also a makeshift stretcher with a person lying on it, their whole body wrapped in bandages. They were all accustomed to carrying medical supplies, but they didn’t expect to use them now.

As for whether this person could survive, Di Yelei wasn’t very concerned. What mattered to him was whether the person could wake up and provide useful clues.

As soon as they left the cave, Di Yelei anxiously looked around.

“Where’s YingEr? Where’s my YingEr? You tell me! You tell me! YOU TELL ME!”

Upon seeing Elderly Mr. Di, Di Yelei grabbed him and started punching him. Di Yelei was genuinely enraged, and his strikes were ruthless. With Elderly Mr. Di present, there was no trace of YingEr. A bad thought flashed through his mind.

That’s why his punches landed hard, not holding anything back.

In just a few punches, Elderly Mr. Di couldn’t bear it and vomited blood several times.

Di Yelei realized that they had only brought Jiang Xiaocai out of the cave, while the snake-bitten Jiang Dacai and Di Ying were nowhere to be found.

Because of this, he couldn’t help but entertain another idea – could it be that Jiang Dacai wasn’t really poisoned? Pretending to be poisoned, he took advantage of the moment when he attacked Jiang Xiaocai to secretly abduct Di Ying and leave?

As this idea arose, he suddenly started laughing hysterically, while coughing up blood!

“Hahaha! …Di Yelei, how does it feel to lose your child? Huh! Huh – cough, cough, cough…. Hahaha! Di Yelei, I want you to pay with your blood! Ah! Huh….”

His words infuriated Di Yelei, who struck harder, with deadly intent.

“Bastard! You’re an ungrateful wretch! You’re not even human! I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you…”

He punched and kicked with full force.

“Stop hitting him, stop hitting him, or he’ll die! Is it worth getting your hands dirty for such a person?”

Zhang Peng and the others hurriedly held Di Yelei back, grabbing him tightly to prevent him from continuing.
