Chapter Seventy-Six: Conspiracy
"You're awake!" The crow's feet at the corners of the woman's eyes were as obvious as those carved by a knife, and she said with a smile;
"You are?" Tao Ziyi got up and looked at the woman with questioning eyes;
"My man's surname is Wang, by the way, this is my son!" As he spoke, he pulled the thirteen or fourteen-year-old child over and proudly introduced: "It's called Wang Tiezhu, Tiezhu, call me sister!" ”
"Hello sister!" Although they were only thirteen or fourteen years old, they looked quite tall, and they should be half a head taller than children of the same age, but at this time they said in a low voice with a red face;
"Oh! Hello to you! Tao Ziyi looked at the two of them, and then asked, "Where is this?" ”
"Oh. This is my home! Three days ago, my son went to the mountains in the morning to dig wild vegetables, and found the girl fainting in the woods, so we called us to take you back. ”
"Thank you, Auntie!" After listening to it, Tao Ziyi said very sincerely;
"Where, where, I don't look like a bad girl, saving you is a gesture, you don't have to be polite!"
"As it should be!" Tao Ziyi didn't know what to say to this woman, she felt that her body was fine, and there was nothing wrong with her movements, so she turned around and went to the ground, and said very politely: "Madam, thank you for saving your life, now that I have no major problems in my body, I won't bother, and when I have time in the future, I will definitely come to repay you!" Now, I'll take my leave! ”
"Don't, what are you busy with, don't worry, besides, you just leave like this, and when I come back, I can't explain, let's wait for my man to come back!" After speaking, the woman seemed to be afraid that Tao Ziyi was insisting, so she turned around and left with her son. Before leaving, don't forget to close the door.
Tao Ziyi was a little confused, and she didn't know why this woman wanted to keep herself. But because they were rescued, it was not easy to force them to leave, so they still stayed, thinking that it would be better if they saw the man and said it, so as not to be rude.
Sitting on the bed, Tao Ziyi's thoughts remembered the previous scene again, very clearly, as if it had just happened, the golden light, the headless corpse, and the fear in the eyes of Scarface, that look, it was clear that he had encountered a monster who killed people without blinking.
Both hands reached out in front of his eyes and flipped over, Qianqian's jade hands were as white as jade, and his ten fingers were even more slender and slender. Unexpectedly, at this time, it was stained with the blood of one person and took the life of one person. This matter, like a thorn, choked in my heart, and felt a faint pain.
Time flies imperceptibly in Tao Ziyi's melancholy, and it is already night in the blink of an eye. The door creaked open, and in came the boy, with a bowl of meat in one hand and a bowl of meat in the other, and did not speak, but put things on the small table beside him, and was about to leave with a red face.
"Little brother, hasn't your father come back yet?" Tao Ziyi saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly called and asked;
"No," the boy replied, but the door had already been closed.
"Something is wrong!" Although Tao Ziyi was simple-minded before, she was not a stupid person, but now she has experienced so many things in the world, and she no longer thinks about everything so simply. Judging from the details of the mother-son performance, Tao Ziyi felt that something was wrong.
Quietly, he quietly came to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed gently, but he didn't push it open. Tao Ziyi's heart sank, could it be that this family wants to be unfavorable to herself?
Although it is said that the mother and son have saved their lives, but now it seems that they are afraid that they have no good intentions. As the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable, and when she meets so many ill-intentioned people, Tao Ziyi will also grow up.
With her ears attached to the crack in the door, her six senses now surpass those of ordinary people, and her divine sense can also sweep through more than ten nearby households.
"The head of the house, that girl woke up, she is leaving today, and she was left behind by me, what do you think?" The woman sat at the table and put meat in her son's bowl as she asked a middle-aged man in an animal skin beside her;
"What can I do, keep it, I'll ask the village chief after eating in a while!"
"Hey, this village chief wants us to look at this girl and not let people go, what is this going to do?" The woman ate with a puzzled face, but she obviously knew that she was ashamed to do so, and when she ate, she did not know the taste of food.
"What else can I do? Guess it! The man said disapprovingly;
"You mean?" The woman was startled, and her voice suddenly rose a little;
But the man covered the woman's mouth and raised his fingers: "Be quiet!" What if the girl hears it and scares her away? ”
"But people are outsiders, isn't it harmful for the village chief to do this?"
"It's not that you don't know in our village, every twenty years you will go to Longtan to sacrifice a girl, and now it's going to be the end of the year, only the little granddaughter of the village chief's family is qualified, he doesn't look for outsiders, he has to go to Longtan with his own granddaughter." The man said in a low voice, then glanced at Tao Ziyi's door, and then sighed: "This girl is also unlucky enough, why did she fall near our village!" ”
"Ah, poor boy!" The woman couldn't help but feel a little pity, but in this matter, they were just ordinary villagers, and they couldn't be the master, and the only thing they could do was sympathy.
"Alright, I'll go to the village chief's place!" The man was infected by the atmosphere at home at this time, and he couldn't eat it, so when he left, he said to the woman: "You, make more delicious food for that girl, didn't I call back a two-word pheasant and a rabbit today, just do it if it's okay, let the girl die, and I won't complain too much about us!" ”
"I let the iron pillar send it, you can rest assured! Are you going to the village chief? The woman followed;
"Yes! Huh? What are you doing with me? ”
"I'm so depressed at home, go out for a walk!" The woman glanced back at Tao Ziyi's door, the man glanced at it, nodded understandingly, turned back to Tie Zhu and said, "Don't walk around, watch the house at home, Daddy has something to do when he goes out!" ”
"Oh!" Tie Zhu turned back with the bowl and continued to eat.
The footsteps outside were getting farther and farther away, but Tao Ziyi was terrified when she heard it, this was to throw herself into Longtan. What is Longtan? But looking at the expressions of the two talking, it is probably not a good thing. When the two walked away, Tao Ziyi began to hesitate as she sat on the bed and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the iron pillar probed his brain from the outside, looking at Tao Ziyi, and he didn't talk nonsense, but just whispered a word: "Go!" ”
Tao Zi understood and followed behind the iron pillar, without going through the main entrance, jumping out of the back window, draped in stars, and walking through the dark alleys of the village.
Tao Ziyi found out that this village is not big, there are only sixty or seventy families scattered around, and it is not too late at this time, and most of the homes are faintly flickering with lights and figures.
Out of the village, Tie Zhu walked a few miles forward with Tao Ziyi, and then stopped: "Let's go!" After a while, my dad will find out, and someone will come after you! ”
"What about you?"
