Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Line Between Life and Death
"I just wanted you to leave, so I designed the night of the sacrifice. As long as you don't find Baixiang Village, then everything can be as usual. But you guys were too clever to check it out. Then don't blame me for being unkind. You look so young, your blood is enough to make this fruit ripe. Because it was very light at the beginning, and now it is getting heavier and heavier. And as long as I eat this fruit, I can live forever! β
He frantically grabbed Qu Youying, the cave was not very big, Qu Youying wanted to escape and hide, but he couldn't find a place at all.
After a while, he grabbed him and pressed him to the stone platform.
The dagger stained with the smell of blood was inserted into the stone platform by the village chief, and it was as sharp as clay, so Qu Youying could see that there was no dry blood on it.
Her heart tightened, and she blurted out a question, "What happened to Jing Candle?" β
"He was drugged in the tea like you, even if he has high martial arts skills and can suppress the effectiveness of the medicine, it is only suppressed, after a long time, plus my daughter is disguised as you, it is estimated that it is difficult to protect himself at this moment, otherwise why didn't he come to save you!"
"Your daughter?" Qu Youying narrowed her eyes, thinking of the woman who pretended to be Yang Wan'er, and exclaimed, "The woman that night is your daughter?" β
The village chief did not deny it, "You know too late! β
"Despicable." Qu Youying refused to obey, "Even if you kill me, you won't live." If what you said is true, the fruit from the old tree saved the emperor's life, but the effect was only twenty-five years! What's more, what you have obtained now is not a complete fruit, and if you want to live, I am afraid it will be difficult! β
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! β
The village chief slapped Qu Youying frantically, and the force was so great that her ears were buzzing.
Qu Youying's whole person was beaten and dazed, but she still struggled and said, "Have you ever thought that if the fruit is really the secret treasure of the Inhuman Village, it can prolong life and resist all kinds of diseases, then why don't the people of the Inhuman Village take it?" Why do they have to endure the torment of not being able to survive? Because they all know it's fake. Some things look beautiful, but they are highly poisonous! β
"Nonsense!"
The village chief raised his fist and swung it hard at Qu Youying's head, directly knocking the person unconscious.
He didn't seem to be relieved, and Qu Youying's words lingered in his ears and turned into a lingering spell.
Let him go crazy to hit her, beat her, and vent hard.
But it's just a punch.
Because when the second punch went down, his hand was grabbed.
In fact, as early as when Qu Youying woke up from this cave, Liangyi had consciousness.
It's just that Qu Youying hasn't lost consciousness, so he can't occupy the main body.
But he heard everything Qu Youying said, and he also had a general understanding of the case.
After Qu Youying was knocked unconscious by the village chief, he had no reason to hide.
Holding the village chief's fist, Liangyi pushed the person out with force, directly pushed the village chief to the edge of the stone table, and hit his back hard.
"Dare to hit me? Look for death! β
He sat up from the stone platform and raised his hand to wipe the blood from the beating on his forehead. The face was also beaten ** spicy, and it hurt when I wiped it.
Qu Youying didn't say that she was pampered since she was a child, but she was also clothed and fed, how could she ever be treated like this?
After all, he lived with her, so he naturally didn't want this skin to be like this.
Jumping down from the stone platform, Liangyi found that it was the miraculous fruit that had been rumored to be rolling down from the ground.
He stared for a moment, then grinned wickedly and lifted his foot at the fruit.
"Don't-"
Then, with the village chief's eyes wide and he screamed in astonishment, he stepped on the fruit.
The fruit was trampled on, revealing the truth inside.
Liangyi frowned, then squatted down, looked at it fixedly, and then smiled.
"It turned out to be a fake." He picked up the mass with his bare hands and placed it between his fingers, "This is a false fruit made of cotton and cork and leaves, do you believe it?" But it's really like it, and it's useful to lie to people like you who have ghosts in their hearts. β
The thing in his hand, after it was broken, did reveal the cotton inside, stained with dark red blood, I am afraid that the red color revealed after each blood sucking was caused by cotton.
After all the blood penetrates into the cotton with the wood, it is gradually absorbed by the cotton. That's why it's getting heavier and heavier, like a ripening fruit.
"No, you're talking nonsense, this fruit is real, someone must have replaced my baby!"
The village chief still didn't believe it, he had been planning for so long, but he didn't get everything he deserved.
Now, after thinking about it for so long, I finally got the so-called fruit, but I still have to use the bamboo basket to draw water?
He couldn't accept this fact.
"What about my fruit? Where's my baby? Where, where? β
He frantically searched around, rummaging through the dark compartment and the mahogany box, but he couldn't find another one.
"Stubborn."
Liangyi stood up and looked at him coldly, without any pity in his eyes.
"I've got it, I've got it!"
The village chief thought in pieces, and suddenly his eyes focused on Liangyi who was walking towards the stone gate, he picked up the dagger on the stone platform and stabbed Liangyi in the back.
Liangyi sensed the wind coming from behind, and walked to the side, dodging the blow from the village chief's rush.
But the village chief didn't have time to retract the trend because of this, and the stone gate was suddenly opened from the outside, so he directly loaded the person at the door.
Then the village chief was sent flying.
Liangyi's eyes lit up, and he looked at the person who knocked the village chief out, and he smiled in his eyes.
Mu Jingzhu finally asked about this place from the village chief's daughter, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw the village chief rushing out with a knife, but fortunately he reacted quickly.
"Daddy."
The village chief's daughter ran nervously when she saw her father being beaten out.
Mu Jingzhu didn't even look at it, strode up to Liangyi, and hugged him tightly without saying a word.
His hands tightly wrapped around his petite body, with a nervous light trembling.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, but I'm glad you're okay, I'm sorry."
Liangyi was very disgusted to be held by him like this, but because Qu Youying was injured and had little strength, he couldn't break free, so he rolled his eyes angrily.
"The surname is Mu, I'm not her, please let me go."
Such a cold voice made Mu Jingzhu stunned for a moment, and then let go of his hand and exchanged his eyes.
Liangyi looked at him defiantly, with the usual sarcasm in his eyes.
"Didn't you say that you would protect her well? This time, you've broken your promise again, just like half a year ago! β
The last six words made Mu Jingzhu's pupils suddenly constrict, and for the first time, he faced this person as a stranger, and called out his name, "Liangyi." β
"Yes, it's me." Liangyi straightened her clothes and said indifferently, "Please don't hug me in the future, although I am a daughter, I am a man!" β
It was the first time they had a face-to-face, real conversation.
Even a few times before, the two have faced each other.
But every time, I didn't try to pierce the delicate piece of paper in it, but today is different.
Because Liangyi is really angry.
If he wasn't in Qu Youying's body, and he wouldn't wake up every time she passed out unexpectedly, then Qu Youying today would really die.
He and Qu You share the same body, Qu Youying is the body, if she dies, he will dominate this body.
It's a pity that his appearance, his existence, is just to protect her.
When she was alone and helpless, when she was on the verge of despair, there was only him, by her side.
Instead of a wooden candle.
In the eyes of Liangyi, this person is a person who will only bring harm to Qu Youying, but he can't influence Qu Youying's decision, so he can only protect it as much as he can.
When the wooden candle is not there.
But it seems that every time, the guardianship of Mu Jing Candle will come one step later.
But in the end, Qu Youying still believed in him and thought of him.
This made Liangyi very unhappy.
He glared at Mu Jingzhu coldly, and then strode towards the village chief outside the stone gate.
"What are you going to do? I'm not going to let you hurt my father. β
"Get out!"
Liangyi directly raised her foot to kick her, but she was not a bully either, so she dodged on one side of her body.
How do you know, Liangyi's script is a false dangling, and when she dodged over, she bent down and pointed the village chief who was not lightly injured, and dragged him by the back collar and strode out.
"You let go of my father, let go of him!"
The village chief's daughter shouted and chased after her, but was also lit by Mu Jingzhu behind her.
Mu Jingzhu glanced at her to prevent her from continuing to scream, and lit her dumb by the way.
In this way, a person with a person in his hand strode out of the cave.
This cave is actually the cave under the big mountain when Qu Youying and the others came.
Therefore, Mu Jingzhu did not walk around by Liangyi, and directly led the people to the cave where they passed when they came.
At this moment, the sky is faintly red.
Xie Xiaoer has been here for a day and a night, and since he found the original site of Yiren Village, he has come here to look for them, but he has never found anyone.
I saw only one word left at the entrance of the cave - etc.
That word was very familiar to Xie Xiaoer, because it was the word of Mu Jingzhu.
But he knew that Mu Jing Candle was in prison.
However, he has been very smart since he was a child, and he understands many things without saying them.
Rather than believing that the wooden candle that kept to himself in prison was true, he would rather believe that the person who left the words here was true.
So he really waited.
When he was hungry, he simply set up a pot on the land at the mouth of the cave and began to cook something to eat.
Don't look at him as a rich young master, but his cooking skills are first-class, and when he cooks like this, several henchmen who came with him are greedy.
"Come on, eat some, in case someone comes, some are busy."
Several people sat down around him, and one of them asked curiously, "Young Master, who are you waiting for here?" β
"Wait for Xiaoying!" Xie Xiaoer stirred the soup in the pot and said, "She's going to catch the bad guys." β
The men looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"Young master, don't lie to us, Miss Qu's martial arts are not good, how can you catch the bad guys."
"Do you want to take a gamble? Whoever loses justβ"
Before he could finish his sentence, someone saw movement at the mouth of the cave.
"Look over there, it looks like someone has come out."
Xie Xiaoer took advantage of the situation, immediately lost the things in his hand, and ran towards the mouth of the cave.
It's just that before I got there, I saw Qu Youying swaggering out, carrying a half-dead middle-aged man in his hand.
When he saw Xie Xiaoer, he threw the village chief in front of him, clapped his hands, and said coldly, "Prisoner, take it back." β
Xie Xiaoer was stunned, he rarely saw Qu Youying's domineering side.
