"It hurts..." Kong Yan felt a stinging pain on his back, couldn't help but frown, and cried out in pain.

Then, she slowly opened her eyes, which she had kept tightly closed, raised her head, and looked at everything around her. When she found that she was still lying like a bird in Lu An's arms, she screamed and jumped quickly.

Got up.

This jump was not good and pushed Lu An further against the stone on his back, making the wound on his back even more painful. He couldn't help but take a breath.

"Hiss... cough cough cough..." Lu An couldn't help but cough a few times before he struggled to sit up from the stone. His back was so painful that he didn't even dare to touch it.

Although Kong Yan was a little shy about hiding in Lu An's arms just now, she was not that kind of little woman after all. When she saw the large pool of blood on the stone, she couldn't help but frown and hurriedly came behind Lu An.

"Let me take a look." Kong Yan said. When she saw Lu An's back, she couldn't help but take a breath!

Is this... still the back?

The clothes on the back were completely torn, and the back was completely exposed. The back was bloody and bloody, and there was almost no good spot. There were also many burns and even scorches. If I guessed correctly, it was caused by Wang Zhenggang's fireball just now.

.And she was pressed under him and was not affected at all.

The burns were not enough, but the burned skin had been rolled all the way and was covered with countless dirt, gravel and even wood chips. Everything was mixed with the flesh and blood, making it look even nauseating.

Kong Yan stared blankly at the bloody back, and then looked at Lu An, who was frowning slightly. She couldn't imagine how this young man could hold back the severe pain without saying a word.

"How are you?" Kong Yan quickly came to Lu An and asked anxiously.

"It's okay." Lu An showed an ugly smile. His head was a little dizzy, probably due to excessive blood loss, and he said, "It's okay. My recovery ability has been relatively strong since I was a child, so don't worry."

As he said that, Lu An raised his head and looked around. This was a cave, with the entrance about a foot above the ground. The surroundings were empty, and the space was not small. But in the cave, there was only this big stone facing the entrance.

What makes Lu Anxin happy is that somehow, after the two fell down, it was still covered with many branches and weeds, only

A little light shines in through the cracks. Although the entire cave is dim, it can make Wang Zhenggang and others unable to find themselves temporarily.

Just as Lu An was thinking, a sound suddenly came from not far outside the cave entrance!

"Where are the people?" Wang Zhenggang's voice suddenly came, obviously near the cave entrance, making both Lu An and Kong Yan tense up.

If it is discovered, then in this cave, it will really be like catching a turtle in a urn.

"That's right, it just rolled down in this direction, why did it suddenly disappear?" Another person said strangely.

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and look for us separately!" Wang Zhenggang's tone was obviously unkind. After a few people dispersed, there was no movement above.

The two people in the cave finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We are safe for the time being." Lu An frowned and said softly, "But we can't go out yet, the other party is still searching. If you want to go out, you must at least wait until your strength has recovered."

Kong Yan also nodded when he heard this, but frowned, looked at Lu An and said, "But your back..."

"It's okay." Lu An smiled weakly, waved his hand and said, "We have stopped. Let's rest here for a while."

After finishing speaking, Lu An walked to the side of the earth wall with difficulty and sat down. Kong Yan looked at this boy who was seven years younger than herself. Somehow, she really couldn't understand him.

Is this person hard-tempered? No, he would actually let go of a Tianling Flame Leopard cub. But is he weak-tempered? No, he dares to confront Wang Zhenggang head-on, dares to face six people who are much taller than him

The opponent plus a Heavenly Spirit Flame Leopard rushed out. This was not something a freshman could do.

Coupled with his lack of hesitation in taking action and his strong ability to endure pain, she couldn't even figure out how a boy of only twelve years old could have such a temper.

Lu An, who was trying to bandage his wounds, noticed that Kong Yan had been staring at him, so he couldn't help but look up at her, smiled lightly, and said

He said, "You should also sit down for a while."

Kong Yan was startled, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, he thought for a moment, then sat down against the big stone in the center.

They both sat down, and the entire cave became quiet. Occasionally, the sound of wind and leaves outside could be heard. Most of the time, you could hear needles dropping in the cave.

Time passed little by little. If it was just for a short time, it would be fine. But for a long time, the whole cave would seem lifeless and very depressing.

Nearly half an hour later, Kong Yan raised her head and moved her body slowly. She had recovered about 30% of her strength. Looking at Lu An in the distance, she found that he was still cleaning his wounds little by little, but there were many wounds on his back.

It was not something he could handle. After thinking about it, he walked over.

"Let me help you." Kong Yan came to Lu An and said.

Lu An was startled, looked up at Kong Yan, smiled and said, "Thank you."

With that said, Kong Yan sat down next to Lu An, and Lu An also turned around and presented his back in front of Kong Yan.

Looking at the slowly dry and rotten back, as well as the dust and debris on it, Kong Yan's heart tightened, and he endured the discomfort and took off the debris bit by bit with his hands.

His hands would inevitably come into contact with flesh and blood, and some of them would even be very deep. Kong Yan couldn't bear to see it, but Lu An remained silent except for the occasional trembling of his body.

After taking it for a while, Kong Yan took off the obviously large piece of debris from the back, and then started to take out the smaller piece. In order to make the atmosphere less depressing, she took a deep breath and said, "Say something."

She found that her voice was even trembling.

"Okay." Lu An in front said, but his voice was very weak, and he said lightly, "Say something?"

"Tell me about you." Kong Yan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Where are you from, your parents, and interesting things about you in the past."

Kong Yan noticed that Lu An's body was shaken.

"What's wrong?" Kong Yan was stunned and asked in astonishment.

"It's nothing." Lu An, who was in front of him, replied softly without looking back, "My parents are both dead, and there is no

What brothers and sisters wandered to Spark City?"

Kong Yan was startled when he heard this, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Lu An in front said with a slight smile, "What about you? You should be a young lady from a wealthy family in Spark City."

"Rich?" Kong Yan smiled when he heard this, but there was a lot of ridicule in his smile, and said, "Yes, a rich family, but it is also a rich family that needs to look at people's faces."

After hearing this, Lu An finally turned around, glanced at Kong Yan, and asked, "What should I say?"

"My family is engaged in the aquatic products business. One-third of all the aquatic products in the entire Spark City are supplied by my family. It is considered a major player, but it is definitely not a monopoly." Kong Yan's voice became very quiet and he said, "There are two others.

Several other chambers of commerce also deal in aquatic products, and the competition is fierce. However, Spark City is not near the sea, so no matter which aquatic product business it is, it needs to get its goods in through channels."

Having said this, Kong Yan paused, as if gritting his teeth, and said slowly, "Almost all the official roads and escort bureaus in Spark City are controlled by the Wang family!"

Lu An was startled, thought of something, and asked tentatively, "Wang Zhenggang?"

"That's right." Kong Yan nodded vigorously and said, "His family has a complete monopoly on official roads and escort agencies in Spark City. All imports and exports require his family's channels. If his family does not agree, not only will there be no escort agency to provide

If you transport goods, even if you ask merchants from other places to transport them, you can't go through the official channels at all!"

Lu An frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Because of this matter, my family naturally wants to please the Wang family. My family must give 50% of its income to the Wang family. Not only that, but a certain amount of tribute must be sent every year, otherwise we will lose all channels!" At this point, Kong Yan has already

Gritting his teeth tightly, his face was full of anger!

Lu An was silent when he heard this. He took 50% of other people's income for no reason. This was indeed very excessive. He opened his mouth like a lion and asked with a frown, "Shouldn't the official roads be managed by the city lord's palace? As long as you pay taxes, you can use it. His family

Why do you have the final say?”

Kong Yan sneered when he heard this, looked at Lu An and said, "Do you think the City Lord's Mansion is a good thing?"
