Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1403 Silence
The subordinate said, "I will bring the medicine to the young patriarch in an hour."

"Thank you for your hard work." Tie Hongyan said.

The subordinate saw her hand wrapped in a handkerchief and asked, "Young Patriarch's hand..."

Before the subordinate finished speaking, Tie Hongyan immediately said, "Oh, my hand is a little broken, it's okay."

After saying that, Tie Hongyan entered the main room of his own room.

After locking the door between the main room and the staff room, Tie Hongyan relaxed and no longer forced himself to pretend that he was not injured.

An hour later, the men knocked on the door, and she once again made herself look uninjured before opening the door. After taking the medicine, the men left, and she locked the door between the main room and the staff room again, and placed the still hot medicine on the table.

She sat in a chair by the table, thinking, and drank the medicine when it was no longer so hot.

Then she rested.

As it was getting dark, Tie Hongyan packed up some things and put them into a cloth bag, trying to make the bag look as if there were very few things in it.

She set off carrying a cloth bag and holding a phantom tassel spear.

She was very careful along the way, making sure that no one was following her before she headed towards the basement she had entered before.

It was almost dark when she reached the woods where the cellar had been.

Tie Hongyan paid close attention to the surroundings with great vigilance.

The woods were silent and there was no one else.

It was completely dark, and Tie Hongyan once again entered the basement that she had entered once before and sealed the entrance.

She took out a candle from the bag she was carrying and lit it with a tinder.

She held the Phantom Spear in one hand and a candle in the other, and walked down the steps lightly until she reached the bottom.

Tie Hongyan slowly opened the door with the hand holding the Huanying Spear and looked inside. She found that the basement was pitch black without a single lit candle.

She thought: If Le Yu didn't light the candle to save money, and I open the door now and the light of the candle in my hand shines in, she should know I'm here, right? She thought Le Yu would come to find her at this time, but there was no movement inside.

After Tie Hongyan went in, he slowly closed the door.

From the moment she opened the door to the moment she closed it, she was very careful throughout the entire process and didn't make any loud noises.

After entering, she thought that Le Yu might have fallen asleep somewhere.

She took a candle and began to search the room.

After a cursory search, she didn't see any trace of Le Yu at all.

Tie Hongyan walked to the place where Le Yu had placed the two candles when she talked to Le Yu the last time she came in here. She used the candle in her hand to shine on the place where the candles were placed last time and found that there were no unlit candles there.

She wanted to call out "Le Yu" right away, but she felt that the place was unusually quiet at the moment, and she didn't know what was going on, whether something had gone wrong. Although she didn't feel like anything had happened, she still thought it would be better not to call out Le Yu's name directly at this time.

She whispered: Where are you?
No one responded.

She began to look carefully, whispering something as she searched.

"I am coming."

"Are you asleep?"

"If you hear my voice, say something."

"Where are you?"

She kept searching and talking, but still no one responded.

She didn't even see the shadow of another person.
