01 Stand-in
You Xue was woken up by life, the torrential rain hit her face quickly and coldly, flowed into her nasal cavity, and a slight mouth could make her choke and suffocate, and the strength of the other party almost choked her neck made her angry from the heart.
Although her mind was a mess at the moment, her limbs subconsciously began to struggle, and suddenly her right hand touched a stone, she grabbed the stone and threw it at the person above, who fell to the ground.
She hurriedly turned over and sat up, gasping for breath, her mouth was filled with a strong sweet smell, which stimulated her spirit, only to find herself sitting in the vast wilderness, the sky and the earth were connected by raindrops into a water curtain, and she was soaked all over her body, she turned to look at the person who tried to strangle her, only to see that the other party was lying on the grass, the puddle next to her head was soaked in blood, she was a very beautiful woman, a coarse cloth skirt seemed to be the style of a minority tribe.
You Xue crawled over and tested her snort and carotid artery, and found that the other party was still alive, but she was knocked unconscious.
However, there was not even a single vine fork in sight except for the grass around, so You Xue tore the hem of the woman's skirt into strips of cloth and tied the other party's hands and feet strongly, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, I said you, why did you kill me?" You Xue slapped the unconscious woman's face a few times, "Wake up! Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"
At this time, out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the woman's clenched palm seemed to be pinching something, she broke it open, and couldn't help but be stunned, a white jade the size of a copper plate fell into her palm, the tentacles were warm, the warm white light had not yet dissipated, the clear and flawless jade, carved with strange runes, she looked at this white jade, very familiar.
Yes, if you break Bai Yujue in half, it will be ...... Yes, that's the relic her father left her.
It was like a flash of lightning exploding in her mind, and she realized what she had forgotten!
The father died in a car accident, and the mother had a nervous breakdown and went crazy and was sent to a psychiatric hospital.
The Youshi Group was divided up by various shareholders and declared bankruptcy.
Miss Qianjin was orphaned, unaccompanied, and in her most desperate moments, she was sponsored by a mysterious person to go to college.
After returning from studying abroad, he has been threatened and intimidated by unknown forces, and the target is this white jade.
At that time, she contacted Liang Bo, a high school classmate who had become the leader of the serious crime team, told him about the incident, and begged him for help.
Until not long ago, the other party actually kidnapped her mother who was placed in a mental sanatorium and threatened her to hand over Bai Yujue, Liang Bo installed reverse positioning in her mobile phone at the beginning, so she immediately notified Liang Bo.
When the police rescued her mother, You Xue immediately decided to leave the country with her mother to avoid right and wrong.
But that night, her mother, who was originally stupid, took advantage of her sleep, and choked her neck, and she was powerless to resist, she still remembered that at that time, her mother was ruthless in her eyes, "We can't escape...... I can't escape the curse...... Hehe......" As she spoke, she cried and laughed, looking like a madman, and with her other hand she tore at the relic of her father's body that hung around her neck, Bai Yujue.
Yes, she was supposed to die at the hands of her mother, who had a nervous breakdown, but she was alive at the moment, but in the middle of the barren steppe.
What's going on?
And she originally only had half a crescent-shaped white jade, but now she is strangely complete?
At that time, she knew that she was seriously injured, the carotid artery had been cut, and blood was gushing, but now she stroked her neck, although the pain between breaths was obvious, but the skin was smooth and there were no blood marks.
Wait, she seemed to have missed something, she stood up and checked her clothes, and was shocked to find that she was also wearing a gray coarse linen skirt like the woman next to her, and her long hair hung down to her feet like a waterfall, but she obviously had neat short hair, and these hands, small and soft, except for a few scratches, there was no calluse, and the feeling of the whole body, very incongruous, and the feet seemed to be stepping on cotton wool, which... Not your own body, absolutely not!
So who is she?
You Xue only felt creepy, she grabbed the woman's shoulders and shook it: "You wake me up, who are you? Where is this? Who am I?"
But the blood from the smash on the woman's forehead was still gurgling, and her eyes were closed and she had already lost consciousness.
The overwhelming questions and panic left her helpless, and she looked out over the wilderness on all sides, and the jungle and mountains in the distance loomed in the rain and mist.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, You Xue listened carefully, it was from the east, and she could hear the barking of dogs, she hurriedly got up and fled in the opposite direction, no matter who it was, she ran away first.
However, there was no hiding place at all in this place of Ma Pingchuan, she didn't know how long she ran in the torrential rain, slipped and fell in the muddy puddle several times, until she heard the sound of rushing water not far away, until a large river crossed the two banks, she hesitated for a moment, visually measured the distance between the two banks, or jumped into the turbulent river.
You Xue was originally aware of water, and he was also a member of the diving club, but this body and the strange soul had not yet merged tacitly, and his left foot spasmed before he could swim far, and after being choked on a few mouthfuls of water, he was carried away by the turbulent river and disappeared among the rising white waves.
Twenty knights in black dressed in armor carved with strange runes, they surrounded the woman who was lying in a pool of blood in a circle and tried to murder You Xue, one of the black knights dressed in slightly different patterns of embroidery turned over and dismounted, probed the unconscious woman to snort, put the sphinx in his arms to the ground, and nodded its forehead.
The sphinoid, which landed on all fours, looked round and fat, but it was very dexterous in its movements, and its eyes were shining green. Sniffed beside the woman, and after a few turns, barked wildly in the direction where You Xue had fled.
"Shadow Er, take her back to the dungeon of the Black Armor Army," he turned on his horse and waved his hand, "chase! she can't run far!"
The sphinx's round body saw the gesture of its master and took the lead in galloping out.
The Black Armor Army, directly ordered by the Gulan royal family, since the first commander Zeng Jiqing died young five years ago for the emperor to block the assassin thief with a fatal blow, and is now succeeded by Zeng Xiao, the second son of the Zeng family.
It has been a few days since they received the news of the secret agent, and it is said that a person who looks like the princess's personal official Yuan Niang was hiding in a deserted town after the war in the vicinity with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. They immediately pursued, but they were one step too late!
Since General You Hong's treason is conclusively incriminated, the princess burned down the mansion and was buried in the fire, although the scorched black body was found to be a mother and daughter, but the two in the palace did not see it with their own eyes, they have always suspected that there were escapees, and they have been tracking for so many years, and now they are finally beginning to emerge, if the news is transmitted back to the palace, his position as the commander should also be given way!
Although Zeng Xiao was also very confused in his heart, he was just a yellow-haired girl whose family was ruined, why were the people in the royal family so jealous?
But he was only doing things according to the king's orders, and it was useless to think so much.
At dusk, the rain gradually subsided, and the rain was pouring into the air.
On the river, a delicate and small painting boat slowly sailed into Jackdaw Ferry and docked outside the gate of the magnificent Heishui Village.
The gate of the village slowly opened from the inside, and the two warships sailed out from the inside, stopping in front of the painting boat, depicting the bow of the beast totem, and the bearded man in a leopard print coat stared at the painting boat with a face full of flesh, and his tone was impatient: "What's the matter, you dare to be late for the visit of distinguished guests today!"
The boatman who put away the oars trembled and crawled on the ground, so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound, the bead curtain in the cabin was opened, and a middle-aged man who looked like a turtle slave nodded and knelt down and begged for mercy: "Oh, my grandfather, the little ones have already set off two hours in advance, but they have encountered strong winds and rains...... I beg you to say a few kind words in front of the owner of the village, spare the little ones, have a little heart here, and buy some good wine and food for the brothers!" He presented a bag of gold to him before leaving, and the treasurer of the heart was really like a god.
The bearded man and the reckless men behind him had a slightly clear face, and waved their hands: "Okay, hurry up and go in, the distinguished guests will be here soon!"
"Yes, yes, thank you grandfathers for your kindness!" the turtle slave got up and clenched his fists again and again to say mercy.
They are a flower building on the edge of the Oran River, since a few years ago after the Great War between the Gulan Kingdom and the Jialuo Kingdom, the Black Water Village has been entrenched in the upper reaches of the Oran River, becoming a bully, and the adjacent Luocheng is even more about the water village to change color.
Although there are border garrisons, they also turn a blind eye to the actions of this black water village, and these flower building businesses can only be slaughtered by the bullies, and they dare not complain.
Qingyi is the only one among so many beautiful women who jumped into the river to commit suicide, probably the person who drugged her was amazed by her beauty, and couldn't bear to be ruthless, and she didn't even tie the rope tightly, so after she broke free, she jumped out of the hatch window and turned into the river, waiting for the turtle male and turtle slaves to jump into the water to catch people, but only picked up the unconscious You Xue, how could there be Qingyi's shadow.
Fortunately, the king of the water village who named Qingyi has never seen Qingyi's true face, she was transported to Luoluo City by human traffickers a month ago, among the many bidding auctions, Chunyi Lou won at a high price, and the owner of Heishui Zhai heard the fame, so he sent someone to ask for someone, and he bought it at a high price before he earned back the silver, so he had to hand it over and offer it to the bully, and the owner of Chunyi Lou could only admit it.
At this moment, although You Xue was sane, she was forced to pour a lot of potions to make her weak, and her hands and feet were also tied firmly, obviously she did not have Qingyi's 'gentle' treatment, she was changed into a light sara dress by the maid, and painted 'exquisite makeup' that seemed to her to sing a big opera, and was carried into an attic by two turtle slaves.
Listening to the sound of the bamboo door closing, You Xue opened her eyes, but her expression was a little sluggish.
When putting on makeup, You Xue saw clearly that her appearance in the bronze mirror turned out to be a childish, picturesque cardamom girl, such a fantastic experience, let her feel like a dream, she couldn't believe it with her pointed nails pinched her palm, the tingling sensation reminded her, this is not a dream, people in this world speak strange ancient languages, she has never heard of it, but she understands, what is going on......
Even more terrifying than this fantastical dream was that she was tied up, and listening to the conversation of the people on the ship, it seemed that she was the Oiran who had been replaced to serve the distinguished guests invited by the king of the water village.
At this time, the bamboo door was pushed open, and the two turtle men let go of You Xue's bound hands and feet, and one of the turtle men with a scar on his face said viciously: "Girl, no matter who you are, you can only be obedient when you get here, today you are lucky, you don't have to serve those rough people in the water village, if you cooperate and serve that distinguished guest well, your little life can still be saved, you can see the sun tomorrow, if you want to commit suicide, then your body will not get a good end, do you understand?!"
"Understood!" You Xue said expressionlessly.
I didn't expect this stand-in picked up halfway to be so cooperative and obedient, and the two were stunned.
"The owner of the village ordered someone to take you to the front hall to accompany you, and now we will give you an antidote, you should know what to do!" said the other childish turtle man still viciously.
You Xue secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, she didn't know how to do it, and she hadn't received training from Hualou, but she knew very well about her current situation, and when the time came, she would act when the opportunity came, but the foundation of this body was really too poor, she was originally a black section of taekwondo, no matter what, it was a little bit of martial arts, and I don't know how much strength she could recover when she really started to do it.
But I really can't beat it, I still have the integrity to die and be unyielding, maybe it's just a dream?
