Chapter 17: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High
There is indeed this possibility, which is also the reason why Yu Ying left everything else and came here directly, you must know that human life is at stake, because of her own reasons, let innocent people die, Yu Ying can't do it.
And Yu Ying wants to see if those people use the same method to treat that family?
You must know that the reason why the original owner finally came to her senses was because her skin and flesh were burned by the fire so much that she woke up, and in the end she wailed in the flames in pain, and then was burned alive.
In the final moments, the original owner hears a strange laugh, which resembles the cry of the legendary owl.
This laughter is deeply remembered by the original owner, is this laughter of a real person, or is it an owl calling?
According to Yu Ying's guess, it was a person's laughter, you must know that although the owl came out at night, it should have been scared away a long time ago.
That laughter is the sound that a person makes when he feels rampant.
This is an important feature of Yu Ying's investigation, if someone set fire to the original owner, then the same method should be used to destroy the family.
So will this be the case? At this moment, Yu Ying was a little unsure.
Sure enough, because of the butterfly effect, everything eventually caused a chain reaction.
But history often has a kind of inertia of returning to the primitive, so Yu Ying feels that everything will develop according to the trajectory of the previous life, but the parties have changed, Yu Ying jumps out of the past, and some people will repeat what happened to the original owner.
According to Yu Ying's investigation, in fact, the emperor was very optimistic about Liu Xi, because the age difference between Liu Xi and Princess Allure is not much.
It's just that this time Liu Xi, as soon as he returned to the capital, the first to return was the family surnamed Liu, and the people in the family were overjoyed to see a junior return, and even to be admitted to the Shike immediately.
You must know that the family surnamed Liu has not had a person who can read for a while, and if the whole family continues like this, there will be a fault, and Liu Xi's return is really timely for them.
Although the Liu family is not a big family, after analyzing it, it must not be a colt.
Fortunately, during this time, Liu Xi's appearance was a little depressed for various reasons, and his appearance was damaged, coupled with his preparation, Liu Xi gave up this position to others very smoothly.
And the jubilant champion, after winning the first place, is radiant and indescribably handsome and chic.
It's just that the princess of Allure City is a person with a heavy appearance association, so she is the champion at a glance.
Later, the emperor asked the champion if he had married a wife, and the champion said that he had not yet married a wife.
The emperor actually had some doubts in his heart, but his daughter Princess Allure liked it, so the emperor thought about it for a while, what if his daughter was noble, even if the champion had a wife?
That woman is determined to make way for her daughter! Is it absolutely impossible to make a dignified royal princess a concubine?
So the royal family finally chose the champion to become a concubine, and after the concubine married the princess, he was very good to the princess.
It's just a grandmother in the palace, how do you feel that this colt is definitely married?
The grandmother went back to the palace and told the princess's mother, the concubine, for this, the concubine didn't say much, but decided to send someone to the horse's hometown to see, and if there was anything bad, she would get rid of it.
Originally, everything would have been the same as the concubine's thoughts, except for the obstacles to her precious daughter, so that there would be no ants to disturb the happy life of their young couple.
Of course, what will happen to the original wife and children of the champion? In the eyes of the nobles, they don't care.
As a human being, is it necessary to care about the existence of ants?
But they didn't expect that an ant would issue a mission, so it was a drastic change from the previous life.
Yu Ying, who accepted the task, happened to find out who burned the original owner?
So the behavior of this princess of Allure really made Yu Ying suspect that Liu Xi in the previous life should respect her mother, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu may be very willing to marry the royal family.
Then the death of the original owner is easy to understand.
That's why Yu Ying will chase after her, at this time, Yu Ying only hopes that the disaster in the previous life will not happen.
When Yu Ying saw the scene in the courtyard, her first feeling was that she was not late, or that her judgment was wrong?
Wait, I just hope that this person's heart is not as cruel, cold, and ruthless as Yu Ying imagined.
Between people, it would be better to be more considerate!
It's just that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and one dark night after waiting for a few days, Yu Ying watched those people pile up wood all around the small courtyard, and even feared that the fire was not big enough and poured fire oil.
Sure enough, the human heart is sometimes more poisonous than arsenic.
Seeing all this, Yu Ying's heart was very heavy, this is how the original owner was burned to death! Speaking of which, the little lady was only fifteen years old, and even the buds withered before they bloomed.
What do they think of human life? Is it leeks? Cut a stubble and grow a stubble? I just don't know what it will be like when they are also killed?
Thinking of this, Yu Ying couldn't help laughing, as crisp as a silver bell.
Only at this time, not during the day, but in the middle of the night.
Originally, when these people were about to throw torches into it, when they heard this laughter, they felt a cold wind coming, and they didn't even dare to throw the torches in their hands, but clung to them.
In the middle of the night, this laughter is no matter how good it sounds, but it also carries an indescribable eerie feeling, you must know that this is the time of ghosts.
And there are no other homes in this vicinity, and the village is in another place two miles away.
In addition, they had heard that there were many graves in the vicinity.
"Who! The leader said stiffly, but there was an unconscious trilling in his voice.
At this time, he already felt a cold sweat on his back, there wouldn't be any ghosts and goblins here, right?
However, Yu Ying's heart moved, because this man's voice was relatively sharp, and you must know that the cry of the owl was relatively sharp. Could it be the laughter of this person?
So, Yu Ying jumped out.
Then they saw a woman dressed in red, who appeared in front of them very suddenly, as if she had been hiding there all along, and then suddenly appeared, and several of them were frightened and fell back.
And Yu Ying, who came out, looked at them, all of them were in night clothes, but at this time, none of them were masked, so they shouldn't have any intention of letting go of the people here.
"I'm out, it's just, what are you doing here so sneaky?" asked Yu Ying.
Seeing a little fire jumping in those beautiful eyes, but I don't know why? Seeing these beautiful eyes, they feel that something is wrong, they feel that they are not human.
Yu Ying looked at these people, the original owner of the previous life should have been like this, burned alive.
Thinking of this, the corners of Yu Ying's mouth turned up, revealing an extremely beautiful smile, and with a kind of curiosity in her tone, she said, "Are you running here to play a game of arson? ”
I don't know why after hearing Yu Ying's voice, those people went straight back, because to be honest, the reason why they have been living well is because they know their ability.
This time, when they saw this beautiful little lady, they had an indescribable fear in their hearts.
Speaking of which, they have killed a lot of people, and they have no mercy on women and children who are powerless. This time, they were going to set fire to these civilians, which was even more common for them.
It's just that this time they encountered it, which was obviously not what they expected.
Seeing their actions, he was also very calm, although he asked what it was for, but when he saw that expression, he knew that he understood very well and was deliberately talking back.
Speaking of which, they still don't understand, is this a human? Is it a ghost?
If you say it's human, how can it suddenly come out?
If you say it's a ghost, there's a shadow?
At this moment, those people really couldn't figure out whether the other side was a human, a ghost, or even a monster!
Thinking of this, someone had a plan in his heart, so he threw the torch in his hand towards Yu Ying, the monster should be afraid of fire.
saw Yu Ying wave his hand, and the torch flew back upside down, falling on the person who threw the torch, maybe he was stuck with fire oil, so the fire burned all of a sudden, burning the person so much that he had to roll on the ground.
Seeing this, these people were a little moved, although in the past when they saw others being burned alive, they felt a kind of pleasure, but when it was their turn to be burned like this, it was terrifying.
Someone was so frightened that they couldn't hold the torch and fell down, so there was a lot of chaos.
The leader was ruthless, so he directly drew the sword he was carrying behind his back and stabbed to death the man who was rolling on the ground, because of this level of burns, even if the fire was extinguished, he would not survive.
Even a person who turned away in a panic and ran away, he also slaughtered one of them, and now he didn't dare to make any more noise, and the corpse was still burning.
Seeing two people dying in front of her eyes, Yu Ying's face did not change at all, she was a general with troops, and the dead were not afraid at all.
Although a bloody smell came, it didn't smell good, plus the smell of burnt meat.
Seeing this, the leader laughed, and this laughter did sound like an owl's call.
And this laughter made Yu Ying's eyes light up, and even showed a hint of gain.
However, the expression on Yu Ying's face did not change.
"Where are you from who want to burn Du Niangzi's family?" asked Yu Ying.
In fact, this sentence was asked by Yu Ying for Du Niangzi, who had already gotten up, with such a loud noise, no matter how heavy the sleep was, he had already woken up.
And Du Niangzi was very vigilant when she slept because she was alone at home during this time, and she woke up a long time ago, and saw everything through the gap in the window, which scared her almost to her legs.
Later, I still heard the sound of my children in my sleep, which woke Du Niangzi up, what else is there to be afraid of at this time?
So Du Shi quickly got dressed and packed up the last bit of savings in the family.
In fact, Du Niangzi's family, in order to let her husband enter Beijing to take the exam, put all their savings on board, and even sold all the fields.
originally thought that after Fujun reached high school, good days would come, but now what he was waiting for was a fire.
Du Niangzi is not a fool, she supports this family alone, and even has the ability to provide a champion, she is definitely not a stupid person.
So at this time, she understood that their mothers were blocking the way of others, thinking of this, Du Niangzi almost vomited blood, just as the so-called: penitent husband looking for a marquis.
If she had known that this was the case, Du Niangzi would rather have no high school.
It's just that Du Niangzi at this time knows that she doesn't have time to think about these things at this time, because she still has children and needs her to protect them, and most of the children in this world who have no parental protection have fallen into the abyss.
You must know that the people in this village are not wealthy, who has extra food to feed other people's children?
In addition, Du Niangzi doesn't know who the woman in red is outside?
But at this time, Du Niangzi only wanted to leave this house and leave here far away. Otherwise, you might burn you alive here.
So Du Niangzi quietly woke up her children, and when they woke up, she covered their mouths to prevent them from making a sound, and then let them get dressed, Du Shi opened the back window, handed the eldest daughter out first, and then released the son.
After the children went out, Du Niangzi was ready to climb out.
When she was about to climb the window, Du Niangzi looked at the fire outside the house, and it should still be in the middle of it, and even Du Niangzi heard the screams, and her tears poured out at the moment, how could such a terrible thing fall on their family?
"Mother. The child's cry came, which woke up Du Niangzi, she quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, and thought with a wry smile: How can I have time to think about anything else now?
So Du Shi took a small burden on his back and climbed out of the window.
Glancing at the dark night sky, the bamboo leaves were rattling, Du Niangzi was extremely confused at this moment, where should she go next in this life?
Du Niangzi only knows now that she must flee with her children and flee far away.
Even their family could only escape in this dark night.
At this time, Yu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, because Ah Yi had already seen Du Niangzi's family start to run away.
It seems that the hostess of this house is not stupid, and she knows that she will take the opportunity to escape, but she is afraid of the kind of person who has a chance to save herself, but only waits for others to save her, this kind of person really has no training value.
"Who are you?" asked the leader, wary.
At this time, he naturally knew that the person in front of him was not a ghost, but he was not an ordinary person, but he knew that ordinary people were most afraid of people in the government, so he said: "We are people in the government, and the people who live here have committed a big crime." ”
"Hehe!" Yu Ying sneered, and then said: "It's funny, isn't the person you want to arrest in the capital? ”
"How do you know?" the leader felt a headache for herself, because this matter must not be leaked, so whether she was a human or a spirit, she had to be killed, damned people, and the people in this room.
"Sometimes, it's not good to know too many secrets!" said the man, a murderous look on a very ordinary face.
"So what? It's better than not knowing anything and dying in a daze. Yu Ying said-for-tat.
