Chapter 239 Li Family

Chapter 239 Li Family
"Xia-san, where's Sakura?"

Near the alley, Zhishi, who arrived a little late, hurriedly caught up. Seeing Xia Yu walking out of the alley, he hurried forward to ask.

"Lost."

Xia Yu shook his head, looked up at the empty sky, and explained: "Xiaoying just used the Clow Cards here directly. In order to prevent her from being exposed, I used magic to make her invisible."

"I can use the locating magic to continue looking for Sakura, but Sakura is usually a bit reckless, but this time she just chased after me without caring about anything. There seems to be something wrong."

At this point, Xia Yu lifted Xiao Ke off his shoulder, held him in front of his eyes, and asked, "What are the origins of those two birds, and why do they confuse Xiao Ying?"

"I don't know if you ask me."

Xiao Ke spread his hands innocently. It was just a sealed beast. At most, it could feel that the two birds had an unusual aura, and it didn't know anything else.

"Tsk, what use do I have for you?"

Xia Yu casually threw Xiaoke to Zhishi and then cast a finding spell.

"Let's go. We have to find Sakura first."

"By the way, Xiaoke, can you tell me what that more evil aura means? Can the evil aura be sensed?"

In the back, Xiao Ke, who had already leaned on Zhi Shi's shoulder, heard this and explained: "The more evil aura is actually..."

……

Meanwhile, on Sakura's side.

Sakura, who used the jump card to jump high into the air, was completely unaware of the changes in herself. Her attention at this moment was all on the two flying birds that had appeared in her dream.

After leaping several dozen meters into the air, she looked intently, searching for the traces of the two flying birds.

In a few seconds, she saw the two flying birds emitting a strange scent.

The two birds did not separate, but flapped their wings together to fly towards the gaps between the high-rise buildings, and their speed was not even very fast.

Seeing this, Sakura, whose attention was entirely focused on Asuka, didn't consider the possibility that this might be a trap. She quickly landed on the roof of a nearby building, then jumped a few more times to chase after it.

In less than a few minutes, she arrived at the place where the bird hid. It was a gap between a dilapidated high-rise building, and in this gap, there was an ancient pavilion.

The ancient pavilion seemed to have a certain sense of age. It was covered with wet moss and shrouded in mottled shadows. The whole scene looked quite desolate.

It was not until this moment, looking at the dilapidated appearance of the surroundings, that Sakura finally felt a trace of worry.

But compared to this slight worry, she was more concerned about the strange smell. It was a smell completely different from the Clow Cards, like a call, and like a temptation.

Surrounded by this breath, Sakura held her wand tightly and walked to the pavilion carefully.

In the center of the pavilion is an ancient well. There is still clear water in the old well, but for some unknown reason, the well is blocked by stones.

Looking down, the clear well water was not deep, perhaps even less than one meter.

Seeing that there seemed to be nothing unusual about the ancient well, Sakura turned around and explored other places again.

Suddenly, the water of the ancient well, which she originally thought was normal, gradually began to glow blue, and two bandage-like ribbons emerged from the water.

A strange scene suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Sakura, who was already nervous, instantly felt the eerie atmosphere.

Turning her head, she saw an invisible wave passing by her face. Sakura's eyes were instantly blank, and her consciousness, which seemed to have been affected, also became silent in an instant.

Sakura, without any thoughts, staggered to the edge of the ancient well. A figure was revealed in the shallow well water. It was the woman in ancient costume that she had seen in her dream.

Looking at this woman, Sakura's figure swayed and her body leaned forward involuntarily, as if she was about to fall into the well water.

"Wake up now!!"

Suddenly, a call came suddenly.

"Uh--"

This shout was like a wake-up call that went straight into Sakura's heart and immediately brought her back from her confused and unconscious state.

The eerie atmosphere that permeated the surroundings also dissipated in an instant, and the two strange flying birds that had originally landed on the ancient pavilion were frightened away, flapping their wings.

Sakura gradually regained consciousness and looked around, as if wondering why she was here. She turned her head and saw an unexpected person appear in front of her.

"Student Li, why are you here?"

While asking the question, Sakura was about to turn around and walk down the ancient well, but the wet moss at the edge of the well made her slip, and she fell backwards with her hands and feet dancing.

"Uh-huh!"

Pfft!
When the sound of falling into the water was heard, Li Xiaolang, who had just walked over, could not help but be stunned. Although he knew that Xiaoying was a little reckless, this was too...

"Are you okay?"

Li Xiaolang sighed slightly, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull Xiaoying out of the ancient well. Fortunately, the water in the well was not deep, and even if she fell and sat in it, the water did not reach her knees.

"I didn't...Ah!"

Sakura was pulled up and was about to say that she was fine, but a breeze blew and the wet clothes that stuck to her body made her sneeze.

After rubbing her uncomfortable nose, Xiaoying asked again: "Mr. Li, why are you here?"

Seeing Xiaoying's clumsy appearance, Li Xiaolang felt helpless and could only explain: "I sensed a strange aura, so I came here. So, where are you? Why are you here?"

"Weird aura?"

Xiaoying paused for a moment and replied, "I followed the two birds here. By the way, I also sensed a strange aura here. Student Li, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know. After all, there are many strange things in this place."

Li Xiaolang shook his head and asked again: "I'm asking why you came to Hong Kong. Are you here for tourism?"

"Yes, I won the special prize, so..."

"Sakura!"

Suddenly, another scream was heard.

Sakura looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tomoyo jogging towards her with a worried look on her face.

After running to Sakura, Tomoyo asked nervously, "Why are you wet? Are you hurt?"

"It's okay." Sakura smiled helplessly.

"Huh? Why are you all here?"

Li Xiaolang looked in surprise at Zhishi who was running over, and Xia Yu who was following behind. How come he could see these classmates after returning home?
"Because I won the special prize for a trip to Hong Kong, I came here with Tomoyo."

Xiaoying repeated the explanation that she had not been able to finish just now. Hearing this, Li Syaoran looked at Xia Yu again.

"What about you? Why are you here too? You are not from Hong Kong, are you?"

“Who stipulated that non-Hong Kong people cannot come to Hong Kong?”

Xia Yu spread her hands and said casually, "I just came here to do something, and I thought of visiting your family, but before I could visit, I ran into you here."

"Visiting our home?"

"Yeah, what's wrong with visiting a famous magic family?"

"This... is not a problem."

Li Xiaolang was speechless for a moment. Xia Yu's explanation was reasonable and he couldn't think of any problem for a moment. After all, although this man was a little weird, he was also a magician, not an ordinary person who knew nothing.

It is also normal and reasonable for a magician to visit a magic family.

"Anyway, find a place to change your clothes first. You will catch a cold if you wear wet clothes." Seeing that the conversation was over, Tomoyo looked at Sakura with some heartache and said.

Li Xiaolang, who was standing by, heard this and replied, "Then let's go to my house first. My house is not far from here."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Sakura nodded without refutation.

Xia Yu on the side smacked his lips, feeling that he was being ignored again. He would "clean it up" and could make Xiaoying's clothes look brand new.

But he didn't say this in an unromantic way, just like at the end of the summer vacation of the previous semester, Sakura also fell into the river and got her clothes wet, and he also didn't use "clean up" to solve the problem.

I don’t know what Xiaoying will encounter this time when she goes to Li Xiaolang’s house. The last time she went there, she met Li Meiling. This time, maybe she will meet Li Xiaolang’s mother, her future mother-in-law.

But before leaving, Xia Yu suddenly asked: "Xiaoying, why did you suddenly come here alone?"

While asking, he looked around the dilapidated environment. Although he didn't understand Feng Shui, he could see that there was obviously something wrong with this location.

There are high-rise buildings all around, but only in this location there is a dilapidated ancient pavilion, and the key point is that this pavilion has not been demolished yet.

This is obviously unreasonable.

This is not some special tourist attraction or historic site. The ancient pavilion itself seems out of place here, not to mention that Sakura followed her all the way here.

Hearing Xia Yu's question, Xiaoying, who wanted to leave immediately, was stunned and replied: "I don't know either, but when I saw those two birds, I suddenly had the idea that I must chase them."

"Then I followed him all the way here. I don't remember what happened afterwards. Then Li and you showed up."

Hearing this, Xia Yu looked at Li Xiaolang beside him. Facing Xia Yu's inquiring gaze, Li Xiaolang also explained.

"I found this place because I sensed a strange aura. When I got here, I saw that guy was about to jump into the well."

Li Syaoran raised his chin towards Xiaoying, explaining who the guy he was talking about was.

After listening to the two's explanation, Xia Yu frowned and looked at Gu Ting. Could it be that there was an old Zongzi sealed under this ancient well? It couldn't be Sadako.

How should I put it? This ancient pavilion and ancient well really have a Chinese-style horror feel.

"Is there something wrong with this place, Mr. Xia?" Seeing Xia Yu frowning and looking at the ancient well, Zhishi asked worriedly.

Of course there is, and it’s a big problem.

The fact that Sakura came here without caring about anything is enough to explain the problem. Why can you all not care at all?
Xia Yu complained madly in his heart, and replied: "I don't know, but..."

He pointed the wand in his hand at the pavilion and the ancient well, and chuckled, "There is a saying that goes, if you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who caused the problem."

"Diffindo!"

As the spell was cast, the ancient pavilion and well immediately broke into pieces and collapsed.

After a few loud bangs, the old pavilion and well collapsed directly, leaving only a pile of broken tiles and ruins in an instant.

Seeing this scene, the others were a little surprised, but didn't say anything.

After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that nothing happened, Xia Yu let out a light click and put away his wand.

There was no reaction to such a provocation. Either the person behind the scenes temporarily withdrew his attention from this place, or the person behind the scenes could not influence reality for the time being. As for the possibility that he was overthinking... that was the same as the possibility that he was overthinking. Anyway, it was impossible.

Shaking his head to suppress his thoughts, Xia Yu looked at the people at the scene and said, "Let's go. Since nothing happened, then nothing really happened."

As for Xia Yu's words, the people at the scene did not have any other thoughts, but left together.

Not long after they left, the two strange birds that had already flown away flew back.

The two birds landed on a piece of rubble nearby, tilted their necks, and looked at the ancient pavilion and well that had turned into ruins, wondering what they were thinking.

After a few seconds, the bird flew away, the ancient pavilion did not recover, and the ruins did not change in any other way.

the other side.

Li Syaoran brought Xiaoying and a few others back to Bird Park, and on the way they met Li Meiling who was looking for Li Syaoran.

Seeing that Li Xiaolang was somehow staying with Xiaoying again, Li Meiling immediately felt jealous and started to get unhappy.

Li Xiaolang had no choice but to coax Li Meiling for a few words before she calmed down.

Just at this time, Touya and Yukito also came over.

"Sakura!"

Touya ran over while shouting. He wanted to blame the willful Sakura, but when he saw Sakura all wet, his frown couldn't help but soften.

"What happened? You're all wet."

"I'm sorry, I accidentally fell into a puddle of water."

Facing her brother's gaze, Sakura felt a little guilty, and she finally reacted at this time.

I was too reckless before. I ran away without saying a word and didn't consider the people I was traveling with at all. This has caused those who care about me to worry until now.

When Sakura thought of this, she felt a wave of guilt.

"I'm sorry, I just..."

"Really."

Without waiting for Sakura to finish her hesitant explanation, Touya let out a breath, reached out and touched Sakura's head and said.

"Don't do this next time."

"Ok!"

Seeing that Sakura was fine, Touya smiled slightly. It was at this moment that he noticed Li Syaoran and others beside him.

The moment he saw Li Syaoran, Touya's smiling face immediately fell, and the speed was almost as fast as changing his facial expression.

He couldn't help but glanced at Li Xiaolang with a sullen face and said disdainfully: "Why are you here, you little brat? Why do I see you two little brats everywhere?"

While saying this, Touya glanced at Xia Yu who was silent beside him.

Xia Yu: “???”

When did I ever provoke you? Why do you include me in this?
Someone has absolutely no self-awareness and chooses to glare back indignantly.

"Brother, don't be like this. Classmate Li was kind enough to let me go to his house to change clothes." Seeing that Touya seemed a little unhappy again, Sakura hurriedly explained.

"What? To his house?!"

Touya exclaimed in surprise and glared at Li Syaoran fiercely. If looks could kill, Li Syaoran would have been riddled with holes by now.

Facing Touya's rather unhappy gaze, Li Syaoran snorted and turned his head away.

Seeing this scene, Touya gritted his teeth and wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Sakura's wet appearance, they couldn't go back to the hotel immediately, so he could only sigh deeply.

"Forget it, just go."

"Hmph, follow me."

Li Xiaolang didn't say much, and directly led everyone to board the nearest bus and headed towards his home.

Their home is located on the top of Victoria Peak. It is a very luxurious mansion. From the back of the mansion, you can overlook the panoramic view of Hong Kong and Victoria Harbour.

In a short while, they arrived at the little wolf's house and changed into new clothes.

living room.

"So, why do I have to change into new clothes too?"

Xia Yu tugged at the Tang suit he had just put on, feeling a little uncomfortable for a moment. This was his first time wearing this kind of clothes.

Although these costumes are collectively called Tang suits, they are actually fundamentally different from the real Tang suits, that is, the clothing of the Tang Dynasty.

This type of clothing is based on the Qing Dynasty's double-breasted jacket, and has evolved into modern clothing by adding a stand-up collar and Western-style three-dimensional tailoring.

And it must be said that this kind of clothing has almost become a symbol of the Chinese. Just like in some movies, whenever a Chinese person appears, they will definitely be wearing a similar Tang suit.

"Don't you like it, Xia? I think it's quite suitable for you, Xia."

Hearing Xia Yu's mumbling, Chise smiled slightly, turned the camera that had finished filming Sakura towards Xia Yu, and started filming Xia Yu.

"I wouldn't say I don't like it, but it's my first time wearing it and I'm a little uncomfortable."

Xia Yu shook his head and looked at Sakura and Tomoyo who had also changed into new clothes.

Sakura and Tomoyo both changed into cheongsams, but their styles were slightly different.

Sakura changed into an orange-red collarless cheongsam with a simple and beautiful style. There was only a simple decoration at the neckline and it was not open.

Chise changed into a light blue cheongsam with a pipa collar. The collar only reached the chest and then extended to the waist, better modifying the waistline.

Because of her long hair, Chise also tied her hair into two buns and two pigtails, which made her look more dignified and elegant.

"You are very suitable for me, and you are eye-catching."

"Hehe~"

"Oh, thank you for the compliment, Xia."

Sakura giggled and scratched her head a little embarrassed, while Tomoyo smiled slightly and accepted the compliment.

“Ah——!”×4
Just as they were chatting, there was a sudden exclamation from outside the door, followed by four very enthusiastic older sisters rushing in.

Seeing this scene, Sakura was slightly startled, Tomoyo was quite calm, and Xia Yu took a step back in shock, but before he could dodge, the four older sisters pounced on him.

"welcome!!"

Accompanied by enthusiastic cheers, the four big sisters have completely surrounded the three little ones, touching their faces and heads, and talking excitedly.

"so cute!"

"very suitable!"

"Great!"

“I really want to eat it!”

After these words came out, Sakura huddled up and dared not move, but Tomoyo asked calmly: "Who are these people?"

"Maybe they are Li Xiaolang's family members." Xia Yu replied, resisting the urge to slap away the hand that was touching his face.

I always feel like they have entered the Spider Cave, and these four sisters are spider spirits.

If his memory was correct, he had indeed seen in the Cardcaptor Sakura setting book that year that Syaoran Lee had four sisters.

Moreover, the identities of these four sisters are quite special. They are said to be the incarnations of CLAMP, the author of Cardcaptor Sakura.

CLAMP is not a single author, but an all-female team of manga artists, consisting of four people in total.

These four people just correspond to Li Xiaolang's four sisters, so Li Xiaolang's four sisters can also be said to be projections of the author.

Ok……

He has now met Li Syaoran's four sisters. In other words, doesn't that mean he has also met the authors of Cardcaptor Sakura?
Just as Xia Yu was daydreaming, a voice came from the door again, and Touya and Yukito, who had also changed their clothes, walked in.

Although Touya was a little confused as to why both he and Yukito had to change clothes, he still changed his clothes obediently.

After all, you are a guest at someone else's home, so you can't ignore their kindness.

The moment Touya and Yukito appeared, the four sisters who were originally touching the three little ones suddenly stopped and looked at Touya and Yukito from a distance.

“That one is pretty good too.”

"Not bad."

"good."

"real."

After saying this, the four sisters fixed their eyes on the two people as if they had discovered their prey.

The next moment, the four sisters instantly gave up on Sakura and the others, and came to Touya and Yukito, starting a new round of attacks.

“Ah——!”×4
At the door, Li Xiaolang appeared with a look of disdain on his face, holding a teapot.

He has absolutely no idea what to do with his four sisters. Even though they are biological siblings, he and his four sisters have completely different personalities, making him seem like a non-biological child.

On the side, Li Meiling, who was following, saw Li Xiaolang bringing the teapot and hurried forward to help.

"Little Wolf, let me help you."

Li Meiling stepped forward to help make tea, and Li Xiaolang slumped down on the sofa helplessly. It was clearly his sister's behavior, but he was the one who felt helpless.

"Um, are these four sisters Li's sisters?" Xiaoying looked at the four enthusiastic sisters and couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah." Li Xiaolang sighed slightly.

“It’s really hard work.”

Sakura smiled awkwardly. She finally understood why classmate Li had such a strange expression on his face when they were in the maze.

"Your sisters are all very outgoing." Tomoyo said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Li Xiaolang felt even more tired.

Fortunately, a guest came at this time, and the guest caught the eyes of his sisters, otherwise he would have been the one who was molested.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaolang glanced at Touya who was being treated like a puppy and having his paw raised, and silently thanked this annoying guy in his heart.
