But Xiao Yifei didn’t want that; he didn’t want to live the sa life every day for the rest of his life. So his wish was this: he wanted to find the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle as soon as possible and then treat more people.
Xiao Yifei had been thinking chaotically like this for a long ti before he finally fell asleep. He thought, even if soone really wanted to kill us, if they kill us in our sleep, it shouldn’t be too painful. With this thought, he stopped worrying.
The next day, the three of them didn’t wake up until the sun warming their entire bodies. Xiao Yifei didn’t want to move; the feeling of the sun on his body was too comfortable. If there was nothing to do, he really wanted to linger in bed a bit longer. Suddenly he realized he was in a prison cell.
He was a bit groggy from sleep and for a mont thought he was at ho.
Liu Rui said, "We should all go out today and gather so information! Wandering around aimlessly like this is not a good plan."
"I heard from an old man before that there are four factions in the prison now, and among them, your father’s is the strongest. They all want to get the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, so they often fight in here." Xiao Yifei told Liu Rui the news the old man had shared.
Liu Rui suddenly rembered what he heard yesterday, that there would be a fight over in the South District today. He thought for a mont and then said to Xiao Yifei, "Let’s split up to gather information and et back here this afternoon, okay?"
"I think we should act together. There are just three of us, and if one of us encounters sothing, none of us could get out." Xiao Yifei said. He was actually afraid Liu Rui might sneak away on his own again.
"Let’s stick to that plan then," Liu Rui said. He didn’t actually plan to sneak away; he just didn’t want Xiao Yifei to suffer through this with him. But then he thought, Xiao Yifei ca here with his own purpose, to find the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, so it was better for everyone to stay together.
They now had a roughly understanding of the prison’s layout, and the East District wasn’t far from the South District. Yesterday, when they were escaping, they were nearly at the border of the South District, only they didn’t know it.
Moving forward, Xiao Yifei noticed that several aggressive-looking people had passed in front. Liu Rui imdiately knew they were definitely going to fight, and it must be what those people talked about yesterday.
So Liu Rui discreetly signaled Xiao Yifei with his eyes, and Lin Mu understood imdiately. They followed the people in front, keeping a safe distance. Fortunately, there were enough people on the road that they wouldn’t be easily noticed, so they didn’t follow for very far.
Liu Rui sensed the danger, so the three of them stopped advancing and instead found a relatively hidden spot to sit down. Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Yifei and Liu Rui heard the sound of an argunt. They couldn’t make out what was being said, but Xiao Yifei clearly heard the words "Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle."
"What are they saying?" Xiao Yifei asked Liu Rui very quietly.
"They said the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle belongs to them and must be handed over," Liu Rui said.
The argunt continued over there, so Liu Rui acted as Xiao Yifei’s listening device: "The other people said the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle has always been theirs, and it’s impossible to give it up." Liu Rui just relayed the general idea to Xiao Yifei. Their cursing involved a lot of profanity, the kind that soone like Xiao Yifei wouldn’t feel comfortable saying. So Liu Rui didn’t translate that part for Xiao Yifei.
"I understand now. The Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle is in the hands of one of them, but we don’t know who has it. We’ll wait for the fight to die down a bit, then make our move to seize it," Liu Rui said.
"Alright, let’s do it that way. In a while, you wait here obediently," Xiao Yifei said to Little Stone. Little Stone nodded and agreed.
Liu Rui had really good hearing. He listened carefully to the people fighting on the street. The fight was intense, and one blow could cost a life. Such a scene really shouldn’t be shown to Xiao Yifei. He was actually quite afraid that if Xiao Yifei saw soone injured, he might be unable to resist trying to save them.
Being a doctor had its downside, always thinking about saving people. However, Xiao Yifei’s acupuncture thod was truly impressive. If there was ti in the future, Liu Rui would really want to learn from Xiao Yifei.
"Don’t worry, I won’t cause trouble for you. Don’t forget, I was the one who saved you earlier, so you don’t have to worry about ," Xiao Yifei said.
Liu Rui’s thoughts were seen through by Xiao Yifei, making him a bit embarrassed, so he said, "I’m not worried about that; I’m worried you’ll see the injured and can’t help but treat them."
"I’m not stupid. Although I’m a doctor and have a kind heart, I’m not soone who’s foolishly compassionate enough to rescue people in this kind of situation, alright?" Xiao Yifei laughed through his tears at Liu Rui’s response. Does he really look like such a person in Liu Rui’s eyes, seemingly like a fool?
"You’re not stupid, and yet you do these things." Liu Rui said as he glanced at Little Stone. Little Stone was sitting on the side, eyes closed, dozing off. Fortunately, he hadn’t seen what had happened.
Xiao Yifei thought, Liu Rui is really quite heartless. Besides, saving Little Stone doesn’t conflict with the larger goal, right? Why does he keep pestering him about it? Liu Rui really has no compassion. Xiao Yifei really wanted to discipline Liu Rui a bit, but with Little Stone beside them, he just glanced at Liu Rui and said nothing more.
When the sounds over there had gradually quieted, and Liu Rui judged there were probably three or four people still standing, they took off, leaving Little Stone to guard the spot.
Indeed, the scene in front of them was quite grueso. The ground was covered in blood, and so people’s heads were split open. Xiao Yifei resisted the urge to look at the bloody scene on the ground. He was really afraid his compassion would overflow, and he’d feel compelled to save soone in such monts.
At this point, Xiao Yifei used his unique acupuncture kung fu, causing those who weren’t yet injured to fall to the ground, anesthetized by his acupuncture points.
The sudden occurrence before them was unforeseen, and the sudden appearance of these two people in front of them was unprecedented. In the blink of an eye, several people had collapsed on the ground. Although their bodies weren’t able to move, their consciousness was still entirely clear.
They tried to speak but found they couldn’t muster any strength, so they just watched helplessly, unsure of what Xiao Yifei and Liu Rui were planning to do next.
Xiao Yifei and Liu Rui each dragged two people and pulled them back to their previous spot. Liu Rui moved swiftly, pulling two people along. Normally, no one would have thought Liu Rui had such strength. But Xiao Yifei, dragging two people himself, took only a few steps before he was utterly exhausted.
