Chapter 149: A Woman's Mind
Zhao Zhenyao closed his eyes tightly, calmly, and when he stretched his neck to Xiao Yueqi's knife, he prepared: "You and I have a marriage... Oh, although this passage is disgusting to you, you must remember that I mean it to you."
He has lived most of his life, pretending to be a fake good person in front of people, and he has never been sincere to anyone, even if Zhang Junyao has worked with him all these years, what he has coveted is just his position, but he has been close to the girl he has been with for two years, and he dares to swear that she has indeed paid her sincerity.
His warm neck was exposed under the cold moon and gradually became cold, he waited for a long time, Xiao Yueqi's knife did not sweep his neck, he opened half of his eyes curiously, but found that Xiao Yueqi looked at him with tears in his eyes, and there was hatred and reluctance in his eyes.
Zhao Zhenyao lowered his head silently, he still has his brain to think about him, to say that ants still know how to survive on a hot pot, he didn't follow his mind just now, and now that he has a brain, he should know that he wants to live.
He only said a sincere word to Xiao Yueqi, which could make her reluctant to use the knife, and maybe if he said a few words to dig out his heart and lungs, he would be able to loosen his ties and let him escape.
Thinking about it like this, Zhao Zhenyao smiled heartily, he has lived most of his life, and he is not close to women, just because he understands the saying 'women are emotional animals'.
They will sneer at an innocent but corrupt villain, and show pity and sympathy for those sinful but sanctimonious hypocrites.
They may not care about a person's past and don't care about a person's future, because they value a person's present more, whether you are good or bad, beautiful or good, and they only care about these things.
So... He really loves Xiao Yueqi and doesn't mind dying at her hands for a moment, but at this moment he tells himself that if he wants to love her well, he must live from her hands, and when he has the opportunity to use everything to make up for his mistakes in the future.
Yes, that's all.
The cold light in Zhao Zhenyao's eyes was covered by endless pity, he turned out all the words in the love movies he watched in his life, he is not an amorous person, it can be said that he has not touched a woman over the years, and he is dull and tasteless at best, but he is a literati, he has written from Rong but still can't change his scholarly nature, and the words he spoke to Xiao Yueqi are plain but the most hurtful.
When Xiao Yueqi was deeply in love, she sobbed on her face, but she waved at Zhao Zhenyao with a steel knife in her hand.
Zhao Zhenyao was also shocked at the time, could it be that he said that these things were useless to Xiao Yueqi but aroused her murderous intentions? Doesn't he know women well enough?
Unexpectedly, there was less than a second left for him to think in his mind, and his conjecture was once again verified, Xiao Yueqi held the knife not to kill Zhao Zhenyao, but to cut the rope on his body.
The smile on Zhao Zhenyao's face was immediately replaced by hypocritical panic in less than a moment, Xiao Yueqi didn't look at her and said indifferently: "You go, the people in this village want to kill you, even if you pass my level in a few words, you may not be able to escape them if you go back."
"I have all the words from the bottom of my heart, how can it be three words" Zhao Zhenyao was anxious to defend with her, but Xiao Yueqi grabbed his hand, and her strength was so strong that she wanted to drag him away.
Because it was the owner of the village, she used her power to support all the people who hindered them, so the road was unimpeded, and Xiao Yueqi said while walking: "Our village has a secret road to survive that leads directly to the foot of the mountain, and you can't use it until you have to, you can escape from there."
'A secret way to survive' Zhao Zhenyao was confused, he had never heard of such a thing in the past few days when he came to the village.
Xiao Yueqi also explained in order to reassure him: "You suppressed bandits last time, so we were wary and always felt that there was a next time, so in order to leave a way for myself to live, I dug this secret passage with a few former copycat guys, and the newcomers didn't know that I didn't tell you from time to time, and I wanted to wait until I married you, but it's a pity... ”
Xiao Yueqi took Zhao Zhenyao away from the stockade gradually, and came to the back of the stockade, passing through layers of bushes, the silence around only the nearby fireflies and a full moon on the horizon faintly illuminated the road under his feet.
Even the mosquitoes on the deserted path gathered towards them, one after the other, eager to drain their blood.
As if you were going to dust off mosquitoes all the way and take care of the large and small bags that were bitten out of your body, she had no intention of talking to Xiao Yueqi who was recognizing the road in front of her.
I saw that they were getting farther and farther away from the cottage, surrounded by bunches of weeds taller than people, not to mention that those warlords would catch up with them, and they would not even pass by.
Xiao Yueqi stopped next to the weeds in front of her, and pushed the weeds away, and a hole appeared below, a black one was bottomless, and the hole could basically accommodate the size of a person. Xiao Yueqi pointed to the entrance of the cave and Zhao Zhenyao was right
glanced at it, signaling that this was his chance to escape.
Zhao Zhenyao came over and hugged Xiao Yueqi, Xiao Yueqi was reluctant to kill him and let him go, he would never come back in this life if he went far away, but at the moment of parting, Zhao Zhenyao was still reluctant, he was really reluctant, he had already finalized that in this life, he might only be loyal to the cause and fight for a lifetime, but Xiao Yueqi's appearance slapped him out of the original trajectory.
He hopes that Luo Xiaoqi will never appear, his father's revenge can sink to the bottom of the sea forever, they live a life of husband and child, he can also ask for such a life: "I'm sorry for you in this life, when I have a special plane when I have luck, I will come back to kill and listen to you, if you want me to live, I will definitely give you as a cow and a horse to make up for your debt."
He spoke of this life, but he could not speak of the next life, and the debts of this life will not be paid in this life, but he will not be able to pay them in the next life. He felt that the words he promised to repay in the next life were empty words and could not be trusted.
After a long time, Zhao Zhenyao finally entered the cave smoothly under the guidance of Xiao Yueqi, because there were not many people when this escape hatch was built at that time, and the cave was tilted down to contact it was undoubtedly just a landslide, and it was necessary to catch the straw mat and blanket to go down smoothly.
After sending Zhao Zhenyao away, Xiao Yueqi breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to the village smoothly, only waiting for dawn for everyone to find out that something was wrong.
The next day, the first to notice Zhao Zhenyao's absence was the guards who had changed the guard, and they found that the door of the wooden house was open, and there was no trace of Zhao Zhenyao in it except for the severed rope.
Suddenly, the people in the entire village panicked, and after waiting to recruit a group of people, Luo Xiaoqi took stock of the two bandits who guarded Zhao Zhenyao last night, and then he knew that Xiao Yueqi had come last night.
"We saw the owner of the village menacing with a knife, and we thought that she had figured it out that she was going to go in and stupidize that bastard, so she told us not to think about it, and we didn't need to guard it after Zhao Zhenyao died, so it was better to go back to sleep early."
Those caretakers who were easy to deceive really believed Xiao Yueqi's nonsense, and went back to sleep after listening to her order, Luo Xiaoqi was even more angry when he heard what happened, and suppressed his anger and said: "What about that person, what about Zhao Zhenyao's corpse."
The caretaker touched the back of his head and replied weakly: "It may have been buried by the owner of the village."
"Fart", Luo Xiaoqi's anger exploded instantly, she picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it between the two, the teacup fell to the ground, and the hot water splashed and touched their shoes and trouser legs. This is still in the cottage, she has a sense of proportion, if it is in her house, she will directly smash it on people.
"Bastard, my brain has been eaten by dogs", Luo Xiaoqi scolded a few times, this time even the people next to him didn't say anything to speak for these two guards, watching Luo Xiaoqi reprimand them, just because they were too stupid to explain to him, it was difficult to explain to him, and scolding them would make them remember for a long time.
And Luo Xiaoqi hates not only them, she also hates Xiao Yueqi, she can't lack a man, even such a cheap thing has to be saved, but he still has her father's blood on his hands.
In short, Luo Xiaoqi was so angry that Xiao Yueqi couldn't even speak, panting for a long time, and when the language was organized, she once again used a threatening tone and said in a low voice: "He can't run far, find me, turn over every place on the mountain for me, if you can't find it, go to the foot of the mountain to find it, if you can't find it, let me go to the town at the foot of the mountain to find it, and find this person for me at the ends of the world, I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death."
Luo Xiaoqi's eyes were also stunned at this time, she couldn't listen to anyone's advice, and she had only one purpose in her heart--- as long as Zhao Zhenyao's life was born, she wanted him to die, and went down to Jiang Yuan and Peng Shirong to make amends.
Xiao Yueqi continued to lock herself in her room all day, and she didn't go out, so Luo Xiaoqi used her own people to turn her village upside down.
Finally, a day later, everyone also noticed that something was wrong at the escape passage.
"Oh, I should have thought that the owner of the village would bring Zhao Zhenyao here to escape" A bandit muttered, and the people who followed Luo Xiaoqi all the way saw this scene and nodded their heads to express their negligence.
"She still has the face to let you call her the owner of the village", unlike everyone's expressions, Luo Xiaoqi gave him a blank look, she now hated Xiao Yueqi completely, and hated herself even more for why she didn't kill Xiao Yueqi before him last night.
I saw a person who took the lead to introduce the origin of this escape cave to Luo Xiaoqi, Luo Xiaoqi listened carefully while probing and visually measuring the depth of this cave, and asked anxiously: "That grandson is really here"?
Everyone was even more embarrassed by her question, and the commentator said: "Little Seventh Master, this cave is very narrow, if Zhao Zhenyao really doesn't know the way out of it, let's go down the mountain to find him."
"If you don't go down like this, then I have to go down quickly", Luo Xiaoqi looked at the bottomless cave, and jumped down after wanting to remove the wheelchair on his body.
I didn't know that I was stopped by a group of bandits, and the leader continued to explain: "If Xiao Qiye wants to go first, it's okay to see that Zhao Zhenyao is not in place, if you are really in place, you have to take this with you", saying that the man took out a handful from the rear and handed it to Luo Xiaoqi, and then continued: "We also know that Xiao Qiye is heartfelt, but this cave really can't be used unless it is absolutely necessary, although we are people in the village, none of us have gone in to try it."
Luo Xiaoqi didn't want to listen to this person's nonsense, she was now wishing that Zhao Zhenyao would be in place again, and she would shoot him down.
When he was about to jump down, the man continued to prompt: "After passing through this secret passage, we must go down this landslide, we have prepared a mat for Xiao Qiye to cushion, otherwise after this landslide to reach the bottom of the mountain, we must wear out a layer of skin."
Everything that should be said was said, Luo Xiaoqi only then got the opportunity to enter the escape cave, and after entering the cave, the news reached the ears of Xiao Yueqi, who was not out of the gate, within a while.
When she heard this, she was shocked: "How could you take her to that kind of place", she couldn't sit still, and what she was worried about was not Zhao Zhenyao, but Luo Xiaoqi.
What is 'forced not to use', if there is no danger to let the people in the village go down once, it doesn't matter, just because this escape is not life but death. As early as when Xiao Yueqi formed the stockade before, he decided with those survivors to dig a way to seek death so that someone could fight it, and he chose to die here if he couldn't resist.
Don't worry about not being able to be safe in the future, besides, isn't it a good thing that brothers die together and are buried together? Therefore, in order to give the newcomers in the cottage hope of survival, they unanimously declared that this was an escape route, and set it as a secret known to everyone in the village.
Xiao Yueqi did deceive Zhao Zhenyao in this escape cave, she made up her mind last night that she couldn't let Zhao Zhenyao live, but she couldn't bear to kill him with her own hands. The last time she saw her mother before she went to Xunyang, her mother's words still lingered in her ears: "You can't be emotional when you go out."
For her, she can't rely on her feelings to judge a person, Zhao Zhenyao must die if she kills her father, and that 'escape path' is prepared for him Ling Chi.
