From love to worry, from love to fear.

Tao Xueqi set fire to the entire cottage, trapping everyone and herself. Everything is trapped in the shell of this person named Tao Xueqi.

When she heard the sound of horses' hooves, she looked away from the corpses surrounded by black flames, and when the malice burned out, the flames gradually returned to bright yellow, but still did not weaken their momentum. Tao Xueqi saw Ji Ran who drew his sword to stop the spread of the fire in the flickering firelight.

She hid in the flames and watched him quietly, as if looking at the hero among the ants. The heart was moved, so she also became an ant. laughed at himself in his heart, and then soberly made a stupid decision.

She took the initiative to walk out of the flames and walked to the place where Ji Ran would definitely be able to see when she looked up, where there were still several supporting roles in this scene.

When Ji Ran saw her, the expression on his face loosened a little, and the corners of Tao Xueqi's mouth also raised a slight arc - it is not possible to rest assured so quickly, Ji Shaoxia.

Several women on the side saw that a wave of anger suddenly rose in Tao Xueqi's heart, and then black and purple flames appeared from the soles of their feet, and they hadn't noticed it yet.

Ji Ran shouted: "Don't touch her!" ”

Tao Xueqi glanced over, and a part of the malice in his hand turned into a sharp blade that pierced their bodies. The white jade bracelet carved with the pattern of the branches was worn on her wrist and passed in front of her eyes, and the lustrous jade color was reflected in her eyes.

"For my sake, I'm taking advantage of you, and I'm giving you a good time." The bright red firelight reflected on her face, her pale complexion seemed to be better, and there was a hint of blush on her cheeks, but it was not like this in Ji Ran's eyes.

He only saw Tao Xueqi kill someone with the black qi that came out of the palm of his hand, and he couldn't even believe that it was Tao Xueqi standing there.

Tao Xueqi raised her eyes to look at Ji Ran, who was stunned in place, unable to say a word, he really couldn't accept her like this. He sighed in his heart, ignoring the disappointment that crossed his heart, looked at him and said softly, "Fool..."

Why expose? After hiding for so long, it's not very difficult to continue.

But she suddenly thought of the bet she had made with Zhang Qining. The reason why he didn't hide it was not that he couldn't hide it, but that he wanted him to see his true self, so he didn't bother to lie.

Zhang Qining and she never wanted to become someone else liked, nor did they want to become someone who would be liked by that person, they just wanted him to like themselves.

When the lightning swept through the sky again, Tao Xueqi raised her head and pulled her lips reluctantly, the flames converged towards her and gradually surrounded her, closed her eyes and disappeared from the spot.

The reappearance is on the barren grassland not far from the waste house of Tao in Zhengzhou. She was in a trance, covered with a black shadow, followed by a dizzy feeling. She sat down on the spot and rested, "It's still too hard to do this with this body." ”

No way, who asked her to save face. Die to save face, and live to suffer.

After getting a little better, she looked at where it was, and walked towards the old Dow house with a few memories. She didn't have any feelings for the Tao family, and it was just a temporary residence at that time, so she didn't feel at ease. Twenty years have passed, and she really can't think of the specific location of some places for a while, so she slowly thinks about it for a few days, trying to understand the place, and how to open the secret room. The main thing is that she now wants to empty herself.

She didn't check it for a while, she didn't expect the Zhang family to move so fast, but when she noticed someone nearby, she didn't bother to care.

"It seems that I met Ji Ran. will be nosy, the kid surnamed Zhan must be there. She lowered her eyes and sighed, "... That girl will come too? ”

When I heard that she left Suzhou, Zhan Suiyu didn't leave, he didn't leave until a few days before they left, and I heard Ji Ran say that it seemed to be going home. Now that these two people have met a girl who must have been surnamed Zhang, they have succeeded, and the gamble is that they have lost, but they don't know what kind of tricks she has played, but they really have to ask when the time comes.

Thinking so in her heart, Tao Xueqi walked towards the place in her memory with her hands behind her back, walked to a huge courtyard and walked straight in one direction. After determining the position, he lifted his skirt and squatted down, his fingertips brushed the ground and groped without saying a word, as if he was looking for something.

A gossip map gradually emerged from under her feet, and she knocked a few directions, and a secret passage appeared on the ground leading to the ground. Tao Xueqi couldn't help but sneer, "Generations of old things have drilled this thing, and I don't want to think about how those good ones can be interested in this, what else can they attract besides demons and monsters?" ”

She shook her head and went down the entrance, and the door to the dark room closed as soon as she went down. In the darkness, a blue flame lit up, stretching from where she stood to another room in front of her.

The place below wasn't really that big, and after walking through a long corridor, I turned a corner and came to another room. Instead of lighting the faint blue, creepy lights outside, dozens of night pearls the size of a child's fist were placed in the room, raising their hands to brush away the dust that had fallen on them. She lifted her foot and moved a fully clothed skeleton to the side, with a cold expression on her face.

The skeleton's neck crooked, and it fell to the ground, its head rolling down to a place where the pearls of the night were piled up.

Squatting down, feeling the residual malicious aura from the skeleton, Tao Xueqi tilted his head and chuckled. Got up and walked over to the skull, bent down to cover his hand over his celestial spirit cover, and picked up the skull with one hand.

The other hand was lazily behind her back, and the tip of her tongue licked almost bloodlessly, and she had a scarlet rouge lip on the inside. The night pearl emitted a faint soft light, dimly illuminating a corner, only to see her squint and draw a strange smile. Zhu lips opened lightly, and said happily: "Long time no see, father." ”

There was nothing left in the skeletal godless eye sockets, and she held the skeleton and stared him face to face. The innocent-looking young girl took the skull, turned and walked to the black coffin placed in the center of the room behind her, and sat on the coffin with one hand in one hand and jumped lightly, her hanging legs swayed gently, looking very light, like a weightless, disembodied soul, humming two songs in this strange place like a tomb.

Holding one hand back, her fingers tapped twice on the lid of the coffin to the tune of the ballad, and a subtle, dull "tuk-tuk" sound came out under her fingers, which gradually merged with the ballad she hummed in the middle of the ballad. Something under the lid of the coffin seemed to be called, impatiently pouring out of the coffin.

Tao Xueqi sat on the coffin that kept vibrating with a flat face, as if nothing had happened, Gu Zi admired playing with the skull of her so-called "father", and thought: "People are not good when they are alive, and when they are dead, this bone is not bad." ”

She sat on the coffin, looked sideways at the black gas gushing out of the coffin, and hooked her fingers at them. Some of the black qi scattered aside in fear, scurrying around in the secret room; Some fled back into the coffin in terror and never came out again; Some were grabbed by Tao Xueqi in the palm of his hand, pinched and put them to his mouth, and ate them like dumplings.

She didn't eat enough food, she didn't eat for a long time, but it stimulated her appetite, grabbed it one by one and kneaded it into a variety of foods, chewing and slowly tasting the best malice that she hadn't eaten for a long time.

"Ugh..."

She sighed for no reason, remembering the centuries-old malice she had eaten in this mansion, it was like a collection of old wine, and it tasted really good. It's a pity, she ate all of them earlier, and the rest were from twenty or thirty years ago, so it's barely okay. It's better than what she had taken from the living outside.

Tao Xueqi sat on the coffin in the dark room, hungry and grabbed a handful of malice to eat, and after a few days, he looked much better than when he was outside. It wasn't until one day there was some movement above the dark room, and the door of the dark room was opened, and she sat up from the lid of the coffin boredly when she heard a familiar voice, and she had been lying there for a rest.

She held a skull and looked over with a smile when Zhang Qining and Zhan Suiyu saw her. "Miss Zhang is here, and there is also Mr. Zhan. Hehe, Ji Ran is on it? ”

Zhang Qining watched Tao Xueqi sitting on the head of the coffin, holding a skull with an innocent face, which was very weird. Zhan Suiyu thought that Ji Ran didn't follow, sitting on the coffin, holding the skull... It's a great taste.

Zhan Suiyu didn't remember that the person next to him had his tongue cut, his eyes gouged out, his ears cut, and he was poisoned... The master of a variety of hobbies

"It's dirty."

Zhang Qining was really suitable for Tao Xueqi all the way, but he complained lightly, stepped forward and picked a clean place on the coffin and sat on it, naturally in a relaxed tone sitting on a bench with people, Yun said lightly: "What kind of ugly thing is that you are holding in your hand?" ”

Zhan Suiyu glanced at the coffin and the strange atmosphere, and stood still - he was just an ordinary person, only worthy of standing.

"Is it ugly? This is my dad. Tao Xueqi stared at the skull in his hand, and suddenly realized: "Oh! You didn't see him when he was alive, and it's good now. ”

Zhang Qining's words of comfort stopped at his lips, and he let out a soft sigh, indicating that it was so. Zhan Suiyu held his forehead with a headache, why he suddenly couldn't understand the conversation between the two girls. He could understand every word, why didn't he understand it when it was connected together?

Tao Xueqi is holding his father's skull in his hand, why can he still have the expression of just holding a clay doll, and why can Qi Ning chat with her as if chatting?

Zhan Suiyu's brows furrowed slightly, and then recovered, and Zhang Qining called him.

"Lin Zhao?"

"Huh?"

"In my experience, her dad is a bastard."

“？！” Where does this come from? Zhan Suiyu looked at her puzzled, as if waiting for her to explain. But look at Tao Xueqi, and then look at Zhang Qining, thinking of the affairs of the Lantai Zhang family...

Qi Ning said that Tao Xueqi is very similar to her, and this image should also include experience. Then, he fell silent. I don't ask why.

Zhang Qining jumped down from the coffin, walked up to him, and said, "Just remember this sentence." Anyway, he must not be a good person, otherwise he would leave his daughter alone and come to this secret room with magic to do something? Put a coffin here, do you think a normal person would do that? ”

Zhan Suiyu: "This is the Tao family's business, and I can't care about it?" ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it." Zhang Qining looked up at him, "At least in her eyes, she doesn't regard him as a father." Isn't that right, Miss Tao? ”

Tao Xueqi was tired of playing, threw the head back into a pile of night pearls like throwing a ball, looked at her with a smile, and said in a tone like a thousand glasses of wine to a confidant: "You really know me." ”

She rested one hand on her knee against her chin, and the rouge on the inside of her lips did not fade, but became more intense, like a mellow cherry wine. The eyes do not match her innocent shell, revealing a clear and beautiful style, and the slender and curly eyelashes gently incite the enchantment in the eyes like a small fan, just like the Dunhuang Gobi Desert, the windward streamer wrapped around the crisp arm of the flying dancer on the painting wall in the cave.

Her eyes turned to Zhan Suiyu, then looked at Zhang Qining, smiled, and said, "The karma on your body is gone, and you are still one step closer to him, is there an adventure?" ”

Zhang Qining couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard her say this.

It turns out that she can see the karma on her body.

Tao Xueqi: "I lost the previous gamble, can you tell me how to make him accept you as a freak like you and me in the eyes of the world?" ”

As she spoke, she raised her chin towards Zhan Sui Yu, but looked at Zhang Qining with great interest, waiting for her to answer.

"Method?" Zhang Qining curled his lips and looked at Zhan Suiyu triumphantly, and muttered for a while. Zhan Sui Yu also looked at Zhang Qining curiously when he heard this, he also wanted to hear what Qi Ning secretly did to him.

"There is no way, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."

"That's it?" Tao Xueqi raised her eyebrows and looked at her, as if she didn't believe it. Then he said, "If he doesn't want to, what are you going to do?" ”

"I don't want to..."Zhang Qining looked sideways at Zhan Suiyu, it was a good idea to lock it up. Zhan Suiyu's neck was cold, and she looked at Zhang Qining's eyes, usually she looked at herself with this look just to lock herself up.

Sighing helplessly in her heart, Zhan Suiyu coughed lightly, bent over and said with a smile: "I will definitely quietly hide a handcuff chain in the dowry when I turn around, and the lady will have to find it carefully." ”

Zhang Qining smiled when he heard this, and snorted.

Zhan Suiyu got up and looked at Tao Xueqi, the person who instigated the relationship between other people's husband and wife, and thought to herself, what is going on with Ji Ran, how can you see such a trouble?

Ji Ran: Heaven is a good reincarnation, and that's how I saw you at the beginning.

Tao Xueqi sat on the coffin and looked at the two of them and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her lips. She actually found out early on that she was very similar to Zhang Qining, but not like her. Zhang Qining has been slowly drawing pictures of Zhan Suiyu from the beginning, and he has already thought about everything in his heart, and pulled Zhan Suiyu to his side step by step. Everything he said and did was determined by Zhan Suiyu, how could he escape?

Ji Ran and Zhan Suiyu are different, Zhan Suiyu was willingly pulled by Zhang Qining's side, and at the same time, he used himself to prevent Zhang Qining from making irreparable mistakes. He probably wasn't afraid that Zhang Qining would make mistakes, and he would bear the mistakes with her. Ji Ran is not, Ji Ran is he... I hate bad things the most.

Tao Xueqi smiled, her eyes drooping and darkened for a moment.

"Think you're redundant to be left out?" Zhang Qining looked at her, with a strong sense of ridicule in his tone.

"Your Ji Shaoxia is outside, how can his brain come down. He can't come down, you just have to go up. ”

Tao Xueqi: "Maybe I just won't let him come down?" ”

Zhang Qining: "I heard Ji Ran say that you can endure a lot, a fire burned the entire village, and you haven't been able to stop you, I'm afraid that a small secret whistle in my house will not be difficult for you." To be honest, I was surprised that he came back to me alive. If he can come back, it means that you have released the water. ”

Zhan Sui Yu shook his head for Lin Su in his heart. Retaliation, this is definitely retaliation.

"Ji Ran is good, but he is not Zhan Suiyu, and you are not me. So my method doesn't work for you. If I were you, I would..."Zhang Qining walked up to Tao Xueqi and whispered something in his ear.

Tao Xueqi hooked her lips and said with a smile: "The old traitor is cunning." ”

"If the use of means to achieve ends is called cunning, are not those who are gentle and do not get something for nothing despicable?" Zhang Qining said.
