Chapter 27: Redemption I
In the small farmhouse, the residual lights are still flickering.
"Mr. Liu, I've told you all the story, now tell me who is cruel?" Hu Tao's eyes were resentful, and a cold sigh came from his lips.
The picture she described made people angry just by hearing it.
There is nothing to say, nothing to give. I couldn't accept this story for a while. I only feel that the coldness of human nature is more biting than the north wind outside the window.
Yu Ge used to be full of disgust for human beings, and when he heard what happened to Hu Tao, he felt some empathy. The original sabre-rattling appearance also retracted, and only sympathy remained in his eyes at the moment. "Humans are really hateful sometimes."
At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was originally a victim, suddenly became the daughter of a villain. This rapid shift was a surprise.
"I'm sorry, it's all my dad's fault. It's him who is sorry for you. She fell to her knees, covered in cold sweat. Pregnant, her posture makes people feel sad.
Hu Tao looked at the corpse in the coffin, the person she loved deeply surrounded by peach petals, and her eyes were covered with a layer of dew.
The mountains and seas oath are only memories.
"After dawn, I returned to my human form, and Heavenly Court also sent heavenly soldiers to pick me up, but I have no longing for Heavenly Court for a long time, my beloved has left, and it is not interesting for me to live there alone." Hu Tao's voice was full of despair.
"You didn't go to Heaven?" Yu Ge was shocked. "Isn't the purpose of your cultivation for a thousand years to go to Heavenly Court?"
Hu Tao nodded. "I told them to stay on earth a few more days. At that time, I had only one thing on my mind, and that was to avenge him. ”
She walked slowly to the door, and the cold wind blew in through her, and our hearts were cold.
"I found some fox friends, some of whom have been living in Heaven for many years, and some of whom are still cultivating in the mortal world, and they all fought for me after they found out what happened to me, and they helped me collect all the information so that I could get closer to them faster."
"You just kill them, why do you want to seduce them and make them fall in love with you?" Yu Ge asked puzzled. "Is this also your revenge?"
"Seduce them? Hahahaha. Hu Tao smiled bitterly, and his voice couldn't stop trembling. What are they worthy of me to seduce? I only love one poplar in this life. ”
"Although I hate them so much, although I have thought about breaking them into thousands of pieces countless times, I have never killed anyone, I can't do it, I think if they are all loyal and righteous people, I will let them go." Hu Tao said.
"They killed your lover, why would you want to let them go?" Yu Ge was puzzled and asked again.
"Kill them, and the poplar won't come back." Hu Tao walked back to the long table and looked at the corpse in a daze. "If I kill these mortals, I will never be able to go to Heaven again, and I will not be able to help him fulfill what he said to me before he died."
Hu Tao suddenly burst into tears, and her delicate face withered. "I also want to go and see the prosperity of Heavenly Court for him."
"I gave all of them a chance but they didn't take it, they are not a good thing, your father and your third uncle are both people who spend a lot of time and drink, and they started to talk to me on the first day they saw me, saying disgusting things and doing disgusting actions." Hu Tao scolded at Xiao Yan, who was still kneeling on the ground. "Thinking that a lover was killed by such a filthy person. At that moment, I had the determination to kill them. ”
"I'm sorry......" Xiaoyan kept repeating.
"Your damn father, he thinks he's great if he's rich. On the first day of meeting, they wanted to get drunk and insult me. And that's not all, he took out a fox fur coat with a squint, saying that it was made especially for me. Hu Tao was furious, and his teeth creaked. I! I recognized it as the skin of Populus euphratica. ”
"He said to me frivolously that this is a fox skin that he had flayed from his own hunting in the Great Khing'an Mountains, and he had kept it just to give it to his sweetheart."
If this is really the case as Hu Tao said, I am afraid that no matter how profound the way is, it will be difficult to suppress the anger.
"That's his skin! I remember his bloody appearance that night! I almost lost my mind! ”
Fiddling with the skin of her dead lover in front of the victim makes her hate her to the extreme, almost despairing.
"His screams keep echoing in my head!"
"I couldn't control myself at that time, and tricked him into this farmhouse, and I tore off half of his skin at once, and then tortured him little by little, so that he was worse than dead, and struggled for two days before he slowly breathed. That wasn't enough, so I took out his internal organs and used them as a memorial. ”
Xiaoyan knelt on the ground and twitched, shivering.
Hu Tao grabbed her neck and shouted hysterically. "You know what? When I think of how proud they are when they kill poplars, I want to peel you too. ”
I watched them for a long time, and then I remembered to speak for persuasion.
"Miss Walnut...... You have also killed people, and the grievances have been cleared, please don't hurt innocent people again. At the moment, she is in the same disease as you, and she is an orphan widow who has lost her lover. I pleaded with her.
Hu Tao slowly let go of his hand. Xiaoyan slipped to the ground.
"Miss Hu Tao, you deserved to kill Xiaoyan's father and third uncle, but Gao Yuan has no grievances with you, you said that you never kill people who have no grievances, why do you want to gouge out his heart?"
"Hey...... I really didn't want to kill him, but after killing the other two, I thought about killing myself, and I couldn't go to Heaven anyway, and leaving this world was a relief. My fox friends told me that I should let Miss Zhang also feel the pain of all the deaths of my relatives. Hu Tao replied.
I'm sure she's telling the truth, because when Takahara was killed, it was clear that she had struggled with it repeatedly.
The fact that she did not skin and disembowel the plateau already shows that she has concerns.
So you and your friends participated in a beauty pageant organized by the plateau. Burned the flames of vengeance on him. Your chance encounter with us and the subsequent interview were all deliberately designed by you, right? Thinking that Hu Tao was lying to us before, I unconsciously raised my voice a lot.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I lied to you. But I will tell you, he does everything like a beast. He is a scum who doesn't know love at all and only plays with women. ”
"But he will not sin unto death." I retorted.
"In my eyes, people who are happy and don't know how to cherish them deserve to die. It's just that I shouldn't have killed it. ”
"Miss Hu Tao, do you remember those Chinese paintings in your boudoir? You must remember the picture of men and women in love. You did achieve your goal by killing Gao Yuan, which made Xiaoyan's heart ache, but have you ever thought that because of you, Xiaoyan fell into the same fate as you used to be, and your revenge hurt more innocent people. "I don't know where I got the guts to dare to talk to her so long at this moment.
Hu Tao was silent, just kept stroking the remains in the coffin.
"I don't think Miss Hu Tao is by no means killing innocent people, you should have considered what I said a long time ago, that's why you didn't really kill him, and sealed his bloodline with mana."
"Mr. Liu is really thoughtful, you can guess this."
