In the boundless darkness, only the campfire glowed with a blinding bright red.

A charred twig slid down from the pyre with a "thud", bringing with it a splash of sparks. However, in the blink of an eye, it turned to ashes.

Yan Xiaoyi's originally delicate eyebrows were now twisted together, and she trembled and grabbed her throat with her hands, as if she wanted to vomit out the fish soup she had just drunk.

Yan Haiyue saw Yan Xiaoyu curled up, her expression was full of pain, her eyes glared at her fiercely, as if she wanted to see her through, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened.

She walked over and squatted beside Yan Xiaoyi, and watched her roll in pain in the grass for a long time, and her tone was light: "No matter how hard you struggle, it's useless, the toxin will soon flow into the blood of your whole body and penetrate into your skin, the more you struggle, the faster it will attack!" It won't be long before there will be no more people like you in this world! ”

She slowly stretched out her hand, and her ten fingers lingered on Yan Xiaoyi's face: "It's a pity that you are so young and have such a handsome little appearance!" Originally, you went to the city as a country girl, and Miss Ben wanted to treat you well for the sake of being lonely and helpless since you were a child. As long as you keep to yourself in Yanfu, it will not be a problem to marry a son with excellent character and talent in the future. But I never expected that you would hook up with my sweetheart! ”

Her fingers suddenly forced, gritting her teeth as if she had hit an evil spirit, and Yan Xiaoyi's already painful face was almost distorted by her pinch.

"Do you know how many years I've liked Rong Xiu? Exactly six years! I was thirteen years old that year, I just moved into the capital with my father, just in time for the Shangyuan Festival, and the lanterns by the moat at night were brilliant and dazzling, but I walked and walked away from my mother, and I was afraid to cry my nose. The capital is so big, and the bustling crowd passes by me, but no one looks at me, only him! ”

Yan Haiyue's eyes were bright and scary, and her fingers moved down to touch Yan Xiaoyue's neck: "For so many years, I haven't forgotten him for a moment, and even his shadow is in my dreams!" In order to get to know him, every time I go out of the palace, I have to go around the general's mansion, every time I have to go to the teahouse where he often goes for a while, every time my mother goes to the palace, I want to take a look with me, and even gave him a letterhead in the face of the girl's house, but he didn't even want to give me one! It's you, the first time you went to the palace, you got the opportunity to travel with him, and not long after returning to Beijing, you got engaged to him! ”

Her usual dignified mask seemed to have been torn apart, and her face was almost distorted, with a heavy viciousness and rage in her eyes.

Her voice suddenly rose and sounded particularly harsh: "Why? Why did I get it with all my heart, you wild girl can get it without much effort, why! Am I inferior to you in talent or not as good as you, why did he choose you instead of me? ”

Yan Xiaoyi's heart was cold, and her voice was hoarse: "Just because of this, you are going to kill me?" ”

Yan Haiyue's pupils constricted: "Because of this?" Do you think it's not worth it to kill you because of him? Heh, so you don't deserve him at all, you don't take him to heart at all! The person who really loves him is me, and I don't care if I kill people and set fires for him! ”

Yan Xiaoyu bit her lip painfully: "You don't care if you kill your sister?" ”

Yan Haiyue suddenly laughed, as if she had heard some big joke: "Sister? It's up to you to deserve it! Your mother, as a dowry maid, shamelessly climbed into my father's bed, and tried in vain to make my father divorce my mother, she is a vixen at all! Fortunately, she died, if she didn't die, maybe the Yan family would be harmed! Look at your current appearance, you must have also received the true inheritance of the old female vixen, and hooked up with him with some fox tricks, otherwise how could Rong Xiu fall in love with you? ”

Yan Xiaowei tugged at the corners of her mouth, hunched over and gasped: "Do you want to know why he chose me and not you?" ”

Seeing that Yan Haiyue was stunned, Yan Xiaoyun suddenly laughed sarcastically: "Because, at least I'm not a crazy murderer!" ”

Yan Haiyue stretched out her hand and grabbed her neck: "You are talking nonsense!" How can I be a murderer? Kill you as you should, who let you hook up with him! You vixen! ”

As soon as her hand was forced, Yan Xiaoyan twisted her body in pain, and her hands and feet kept struggling.

However, after a while, I don't know whether the poison on her body was attacked, or suffocated, she suddenly rolled her eyelids, and the whole person did not move.

Butterbur and Douxiang, who were hiding far away, saw that she didn't move for a while, and glanced at each other and walked over.

Butterbur squatted down tentatively and put his hand under Yan Xiaoyi's nose tentatively, and whispered to Yan Haiyue, who was still pinching her neck with red eyes on the side: "Miss, she should be dead!" ”

Yan Haiyue was stunned for a moment, retracted her hands awkwardly, and took two steps back.

As soon as Douxiang heard that someone was dead, she suddenly screamed loudly with a sharp voice, and the shrill female voice pierced the night sky, sounding particularly poignant.

Yan Haiyue stood up, walked to her in two steps, raised her hand and gave her a slap: "What the hell is your name?" Didn't I tell you clearly in the house? What, you're scared now? ”

Seeing Douxiang retreating in panic, she picked the corner of her mouth: "It's useless to be afraid, don't forget, you are also an accomplice!" You made the fish soup just now! If you want to live, you'd better be obedient, otherwise, killing one today is also killing, and killing two is also killing. In this wilderness, it's useless for you to shout, no one will come to save you! ”

Douxiang's legs trembled, and even her lips trembled: "Miss, don't worry, Douxiang must be obedient, whatever you say is what, you will never dare to have two hearts!" ”

Yan Haiyue looked at her deeply: "You'd better remember what you said today, we are grasshoppers on a rope now!" But if you tell me about tonight's events in the future, and something happens to me, don't think about having good fruit to eat! ”

Seeing Douxiang nodding again and again, he almost knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Yan Haiyue waved his sleeves coldly: "It's almost time, you went over and threw the corpse into the river with Chokdong and destroyed the corpse!" ”

Douxiang hurriedly ran over with Butterbury and raised his head and feet together, and threw Yan Xiaoyan into the turbulent river not far away.

Yan Xiaoyi's corpse sank to the bottom like a rock.

The river was as dark as the night, and there was hardly any trace of it around except for a few reeds that had been trampled by the two men as they dragged the corpse.

The three of them stood by the river and stared at the river for a long time, Douxiang wiped the sweat in her palms uneasily, and asked cautiously: "Miss, Miss Er, is this really dead?" There won't be any mistakes in the future, right? I knew that I would poke a few more knives at the corpse just now, but I was a little worried! ”

Yan Haiyue turned her head and glanced at her mockingly: "Didn't you just die of fear?" It's quite ruthless at this time! You've been by my side for so many years, and I really haven't seen that you're a seedling who does bad things! In the future, I'll really have to watch out for you! ”

Douxiang hurriedly waved her hand in a panic: "Miss, I'm not afraid that if something goes wrong, you will be implicated in the future!" ”

Yan Haiyue sneered and glanced at her: "What are you panicking about?" She went down for so long and there was not even a movement in the river, not even a bubble bubbles, she must be dead. Otherwise, a living person would have suffocated to death if he stayed in the river for so long! ”

Her eyes swept between Douxiang and Butterbur: "After returning home, if my father and my mother ask, what do you say?" ”

Yang Dong immediately lowered his hand and stood aside respectfully: "Miss, don't worry, we will tell the lord and Mrs. that when we got off the bus to rest on the way to Tanshui Temple, we suddenly met a bandit, and it was the thief who kidnapped the second girl!" ”

Yan Haiyue glanced at him approvingly, reached out and stroked his arm, hooked his lips and smiled innocently: "Since you have met the bandits, then why are you all so decent, only the second girl is gone?" ”

Butterbur looked at the pair of white and soft hands on his arms, his throat moved, he took out a dagger from his waist, and stabbed him twice in the non-critical places on his body.

He pulled out his knife with a muffled sound, and looked at the person in front of him with a glittering gaze: "The little one is injured, and the thief is running fast again, and he is powerless to chase it." I was afraid that the eldest lady would also be in danger, so I decided to go back to the house to report to the old lady first! ”

Douxiang also took the dagger on the side, closed her eyes and stabbed her arm, and her sleeves were bright red.

Yan Haiyue nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly reached out to support her forehead, and her makeup seemed to be weak: "Oops, Miss Ben is frightened, hurry up and go home!" ”

Butterbur and Douxiang hurriedly endured the pain of the wounds on their bodies and helped Yan Haiyue get into the carriage.

Yan Haiyue stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, looked at the river under the shade of the tall reeds through the gap, and smiled ghostly: "Yan Xiaoyi, Yan Xiaoyi, from now on, there will be no second miss in the Yan family." If you want to blame yourself, who made you offend someone who should not be offended? If you have knowledge under the spring, hurry up and reincarnate, and seek revenge on me in the next life! And in this life, Miss Ben will live well for you. Of course, I will also marry you and marry Rong Xiu! ”

As soon as the words fell, she reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage, leaned lazily into the carriage, and said to the voice of the lady in front: "Get on the road!" ”

Butterbur stroked the wounds on his body, shook his hand and waved the horsewhip, and the wheels suddenly creaked up, crushed the weeds on the ground, and disappeared at the end of the vast jungle in the blink of an eye.

In the reeds, in the turbulent river, Yan Xiaowei squatted at the bottom of the river with her hands and knees.

In the late summer and early autumn nights, the cold river water flowed past her, like a sharp ice blade piercing every inch of her skin, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. But she didn't dare to open her eyes, open her mouth, or make a single sound, for fear that the people on the riverbank would find out that she was still alive!

Every time the people on the shore said a word, her heart became cold, and in the end she was numb.

Maybe it was curled up in the river for too long, and all of a sudden both of her legs cramped at the same time, and for a moment she almost thought she was going to die. But she forcibly held back the pain, did not move, and listened attentively to the sound of the shore with the last shred of reason, for fear of missing a single slight.

Until all the people on the shore got into the carriage and drove away, she still did not dare to move, for fear that they would kill one of them.

I don't know how long it took, but there was no sound around him, only the sound of "bang-la-la" water above his head.

Yan Xiaoyu bent her knees slightly, slowly emerged from the river, spit out the reed pole in her mouth, and looked cautiously at the riverbank.
