Counter-killing

Jiang Chutao is missing.

The three kings panicked, and the princess came forward to tell the Liu family that Chu Tao was with him and went to the royal hot spring palace to accompany him to recuperate, and regularly asked Chu Tao to write back to his home, which reassured the Jiang family. A few days ago, the third princess also lied that she was unwell and was not suitable to return, and she would have to delay a few days before returning to Jinling.

The people sent by the Liu family to escort Chu Tao will also regularly pass on books to her to report Chu Tao's safety, Liu knows Chu Tao's whereabouts well, and in the letter, she is also full of good feelings for Shi Li, the young man, and has other ideas.

But now that Chu Tao has disappeared inexplicably, the brother-in-law of the three kings is to blame, and the top priority is to find Chu Tao back.

Shi Li was so annoyed that he didn't eat for two days and two nights, and searched all the restaurants and theaters that Chu Tao loved to go to on weekdays, but there was still no whereabouts of Chu Tao. Shi Li was so anxious that he was in a hurry, his mouth was full of blisters, his beard was not trimmed, his eye sockets were sunken, and he became skinny in just two days.

The timid ones are like Zhao Tieniu, crying like a girl, and the three kings were upset by his crying: "Cry, cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry all day long, like a girl, you can cry her back." His grandma's! ”

"Miss Jiang is so beautiful, and she is a powerless girl, what if she is bullied." Zhao Tieniu is still crying, he really treats Chu Tao as a friend.

Xiaohong and Xiaozi almost apologized for their deaths, and on the day of Chu Tao's disappearance, in order to create a private space for Chu Tao and Shi Li, the two deliberately stayed away from the two, which made Chu Tao lose it. If it weren't for Shi Li saying that Chu Tao's whereabouts are unknown now and she needs the help of the two of them, the two of them would have crashed into the wall and died.

Xue Congjia was still faint, it seemed that he was the only one who could remain calm among so many people, but only the three kings knew that he hadn't slept for two whole nights.

Two days ago, Shi Li couldn't find Chu Taoren, and he felt faintly uneasy, so he went to a nearby restaurant to look for it, but he didn't see Chu Tao's figure, so he returned to his residence with a nervous mood, and began to wait anxiously and for a long time, until Chu Tao hadn't come back at dinner time, Shi Li rushed to inform the three kings.

He and Xue returned to the execution ground from Jiayuan Road, and screened the surrounding shops and some people, and finally they walked to the center of the execution ground to look for traces of Chu Tao, the blood stains on the torture platform had dried up, and the dark red blood stains penetrated into the cracks in the stones, which was shocking. Shi Li's left eyelid jumped violently, and his leg was weak at that time.

Shopkeeper Fang also mobilized his friends around him to look for Chu Tao, and there was no whereabouts. The three kings brought a hunting dog, the black and yellow fur was shiny, a pair of eyes were sensitive and vibrant, and the nose was also wet, and at a glance he knew that the food was good on weekdays, this was a hunting dog borrowed by the shopkeeper, a dog used to search for prey when hunting on weekdays.

Xue Congjia said that hunting dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell, and well-trained hunting dogs can track targets based on smell. When the three kings brought the hound in, they found that Xue Congjia had fallen asleep against the table.

He frowned in his sleep and pursed his lips, looking like he was having a nightmare. The three kings sighed, although Xue Congjia was not as obvious as Zhao Tieniu's emotions, but he was like punishing himself, forcing himself to be sober, forcing himself to think rationally, and he finally fell tired after not closing his eyes for two nights.

Chu Tao is here to find him, even if he doesn't like that girl anymore, he will feel guilty. The three kings took a thick coat from the side, and wanted to cover Xue Congjia's body, the thin body of the young man, the handsome face, obviously so young, but pretending to be a young man, only when he fell asleep did he reveal a little vulnerability.

This act of gently covering the quilt still woke Xue Congjia from his dream, and the three kings saw that his two eyes were full of dense bloodshots, and he couldn't bear to say, go to the bed to rest.

In the dream, Chu Tao became the little girl she met for the first time, with inappropriate makeup, golden jewelry, and red clothes, she stood in the middle of the water, her face was blurred, and the fog on the surface of the water made her look so unreal, lonely like a ghost, and as soon as the wind blew, she gradually drifted away.

Xue Congjia took the tea that the three kings gave him, and took a sip before he woke up from his dream, but the suffocating despair in the dream still lingered tightly in his mind. The three kings peeked at Xue Congjia's face, his pale and fragile face was full of depression, and when he looked closely, his lips were also white.

Noticing the hounds brought by the three kings, Xue Congjia said: "I accidentally fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes." ”

The three kings said, "You can rest for a while, you have been carrying it without sleeping until your body collapses, and there is no way to find her." ”

"I want to sleep too, but I can't." Xue Congjia rubbed his aching temples and sour eyes, and said, "The dog is here, let's try to see if there are any clues." ”

Shi Li came to look for him that day, and he was going to meet Huo Lao Er the next day, if he and Chu Tao and they went together, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.

Xue Congjia stood up, and the hound pounced on him, very enthusiastic. Xue Congjia laughed at himself and said, "Xinyang is so big, you have to narrow the scope a little bit before the hounds can search it." ”

The three kings also nodded: "Let's think about it again, these are the clothes sent by Xiaohong, they are all worn close to the body, and they will be somewhat contaminated with the smell of the owner." ”

"Hmm." Xue Congjia replied lightly, looking at the goose yellow or light green clothes sent, the two of them had nothing to say.

Every two or three hours, Siyu came in to untie the first peach for a while, and then continued to tie it, and in the past two days, the first peach has become extremely haggard under the double pressure of physiology and psychology.

The three meals a day sent are all cold, put some pickled vegetables and some cooked cabbage, and a bowl of brown rice is a meal, and the first peach is so hungry that he even has a small stomach. And because he was soaked and had no clothes to change two days ago, he had a fever that night, and the first peach burned so much that he was dying, and he only hung on one breath.

I knew that I was so miserable, so I might as well drink the bowl of poison that day.

Chu Tao is weak, but fortunately she can't see what she looks like now, otherwise she will be scared to death by herself. His face was pale and lost his original luster, and his cheeks were crimson, but there was a little blue in the red, which was obviously caused by a fever. The two small pinchs that were originally combed have also staggered, and their mouths are so dry that they bleed.

During this period, Xie Caiwei came once and asked her if she had thought about it. Chu Tao still had a little strength at that time, and said back: "Didn't you ask me what my true identity is, I'll tell you now, I'm your aunt!" ”

Xie Caiwei smiled and said, "The mouth is quite hard, it seems that there is still strength." I don't have to eat tonight. ”

That night, Chu Tao sat on the cold ground, leaning on a pillar and cried for a night, she felt that the tears of her life were going to be exhausted, and after crying, her face began to hurt, and the place that had been washed by tears was painful and itchy, and Chu Tao shrank on the ground, and fell asleep after exhaustion.

When he woke up the next day, Siyu gave Chu Tao an egg for the first time, and Chu Tao ate an egg in two bites like a hungry ghost, and almost choked to death.

She burned for too long, and she didn't eat, so she was surprised that she could hold on and not pass out, but she didn't expect to see that a weak girl was quite strong. Because of the fever, Chu Tao has always felt light, like stepping on cotton.

After eating this egg, I gradually felt that I was still conscious. Chu Tao felt that there was something in her chest against her, Chu Tao's heart was beating very fast, and when she was a little sober, she remembered that it was a dagger given to her by Xue Congjia.

Because it was Xue Congjia's thing, Chu Tao had been carrying it closely, and over time, she couldn't even feel the existence of the dagger. Seeing that there was no one around, Hatsumomo tried to take the dagger out of her arms with her fingers and mouth, but she failed.

Chu Tao leaned back in the chair, panting heavily, just bending over to move, and the severe pain in her lungs made Chu Tao cough and couldn't stop at all.

Anyway, after a while, Siyu came back to untie herself for a while, and let her go to the toilet or drink some water or something. Chu Tao closed his eyes and breathed deeply, there was still a chance, and when he got this dagger, he might have a chance to escape.

"Soon you will become the No. 1 Oiran in Xinyang, little girl." Siyu hummed a little song and came over to untie Chu Tao, patted Chu Tao with his hand and said: "Wake up, I said that you are really a cheap bone, born a cheap billet, I would rather be sent to the Qinglou to be ridden by 10,000 people than say who your son-in-law is." ”

She leaned close to Hatsumo's ear and said with a smile, "I see, you really want to be an Oiran." ”

Chu Tao's eyelids moved, and she said weakly: "I'm going to Xiaojie." ”

Siyu moved away from Chu Tao in disgust and said, "Go ahead." Chu Tao has been burning for three days, her throat is like a fire, her voice is extremely hoarse, her hands are tightly clenched, even the blood vessels are clearly visible on her white and delicate little hands, her body is trembling slightly, and her face is full of sweat.

Chu Tao gritted her teeth, whether she could escape or not depends on now. Siyu is about the same figure as herself, and she always wears a veil when she comes, and the most important thing is that her clothes are too similar to what she is wearing, as long as Siyu is solved and pretended to be her, it shouldn't be a problem to leave here.

Chu Tao touched the knife in her arms with her hand, she didn't have any strength in her hand, Chu Tao touched the knife, only to feel that the scabbard was also hot, she pushed the scabbard away with her index finger and thumb, held the knife handle with her five fingers, and stabbed it back at the defenseless Siyu.

Chu Tao aimed at Si Yu's heart, and Si Yu's eyes widened before he could react to what was happening, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and he didn't even have time to shout.

Chu Tao gasped, this thorn just now had used up all her strength, she sat down on the ground, wiped the sweat from her face, although she couldn't calm down in a short time, but there was not so much time left for her, she had to quickly clean up the scene and escape from here.
