A voice suddenly sounded, Chu Qiao looked along the crowd, and saw a child who looked like a scholar said proudly. Not far away, a young man stood tall and jade, dressed in a dark green python robe, standing in front of the front garden with his back to everyone, followed by four entourage.

Zhu Shun was stunned for a moment, hurriedly turned around, bent his waist under the crotch of his pants, nodded and said: "Yan Shizi, it's really a subordinate who doesn't listen to discipline, which makes Yan Shizi laugh." ”

"Is it important for you to discipline your subordinates, or is it important for my family to be descended? Zhu Shun, I think you're dizzy! ”

Zhu Shun was shocked, knocked his head on the ground, and hurriedly said: "The little one doesn't dare, the little one doesn't dare, and the little one knows his mistakes." ”

The little scholar snorted coldly: "You know that you are wrong and still standing here?" ”

When Zhu Shun heard this, he immediately stood up, and ran towards Zhuge Huai's study like his butt was on fire. The subordinates of Zhuge Mansion hurriedly stepped aside, and one of them said cautiously: "Please Yan Shizi enter the flower hall and wait." ”

The brocade-robed young man nodded, turned around slowly, his eyes were as black as ink, his eyes swept away, and he narrowed slightly when he saw Chu Qiao, as if he remembered something, and walked straight forward.

Chu Qiao's eyes were calm, and he cautiously took two steps back. Yan Xun saw her retreating, so he stood up, meditated for a long time, and took out a white porcelain bottle from the sleeve pocket of his shirt, which was carved with blue grass patterns, which looked very exquisite. The young man stretched out his hand and handed it over, bowing his head slightly, motioning for her to take it.

Chu Qiao looked Yan Xun up and down, and the scene on the hunting ground that day shook in front of her again, and she cautiously did not step forward.

Yan Xun was stunned for a moment, then pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled faintly, bent down and gently put the porcelain vase on the ground, turned around and walked into the flower hall with his entourage.

"Uh......" A slight moan sounded behind him, Xiao Qi saw Chu Qiao's face in a daze, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, with indescribable fear, crying and said, "Sister Yue'er...... Little Seven ...... Is Xiao Qi going to die? ”

Chu Qiao squatted down, held the porcelain vase tightly in his hand, his small body was tense, his eyes looked gloomily in the direction of the main mansion of Zhuge Mansion, and said slowly but firmly: "Xiao Qi, my sister assures you that you will be fine." ”

Chu Qiao ran back to the backyard of the handyman with Xiao Qi on his back, quickly entered the room, and cleaned and medicated her with medicine. Yan Xun's medicine is very easy to use, not only has the effect of stopping bleeding, but also has a slight anesthetic effect, Xiao Qi only snorted a few times and fell into a deep sleep.

Hachi, who had been sick, woke up and could barely get out of bed. This kid was frightened a while ago, and he didn't speak after waking up, just watched Chu Qiao in a daze as he was busy boiling water to take care of Xiao Qi, like a fool.

It was getting late, Chu Qiao wiped the sweat on his forehead, and the wound on his shoulder hurt hotly. She leaned against the wall, listening to Xiao Qi's slight cry of pain in her sleep, a heart seemed to be held tightly, and then she resolutely took it out and threw it in the ice and snow. Closing her eyes, the face of pity echoed in her mind again, the boy with a handsome face and a pure smile, the boy who kept saying that he would protect himself, the boy who was beaten to the point that he could no longer recognize his head and face.

A line of tears slowly flowed from her closed eyes, spread across her pointed chin, and dripped onto her coarse shoes.

Suddenly, a panicked voice sounded outside the door, Chu Qiao opened the door and walked out in shock, and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl standing in the courtyard. ”

Chu Qiao frowned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Take it away?" When was this? ”

"I left early in the morning, I only found Lin Xi and asked him to go to the fourth young master to plead, but it's been a whole day and there is still no news, what should I do?"

"Did you say what to do?"

The girl wiped her tears and cried and said, "Yes, I said that it was sent to the old lady's other courtyard in the outer house." ”

"What?" Chu Qiao exclaimed in surprise, as if she had been hit by a thunderbolt on her head, and the rumors about the old lady's beast-like hobby that she had heard from the pity these days swept through her mind like a tornado, and one of her faces suddenly turned snow-white.

Xiao Ba stood at the door, and when he heard this, he stepped forward in a daze, pulling the corner of Chu Qiao's clothes, and his voice was small, like an injured little beast, and asked over and over again: "Sister Yue'er, what about Sister Juxiang?" Where did they go? ”

Chu Qiao reacted, turned around and ran out of the door.

"Yue'er!" The girl screamed from behind, Chu Qiao didn't look back, an ominous premonition quickly entrenched in her heart, she didn't know if it was too late, she didn't know if there was a chance to rescue those children, she could only do her best to run forward quickly, and she didn't dare to stop for a moment.

After passing through the Qingshan Courtyard, the stables, and the back garden, and further on, there was the Wuqu Corridor leading to the front garden, at this time, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded, and Chu Qiao stopped cautiously.

"Sister Yue'er?" A small voice sounded behind her, Chu Qiao was stunned, turned around, and saw Xiao Ba wearing a wide short shirt, standing behind her pitifully, not even wearing shoes, and asked blankly, "Sister Ju Xiang, where did they go?" ”

Chu Qiao grabbed Xiaoba, turned around and squatted in the flowers on the side. It's already winter, and the flowers have long since withered, but fortunately it's night, and the lights are sparse, and it's hard to spot without looking closely.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and there were four people pushing a car together, one pushing, and three people holding on to the side. The road Chu Qiao took was already very remote, and few people passed by except for the cleaning subordinates, so she pulled Xiaoba to squat in the flowers, quietly waiting for these people to leave.

Several people walked in front of Chu Qiao and the two of them and suddenly stopped, Xiao Ba was obviously very scared, his body was a little trembling, he clutched Chu Qiao's clothes tightly, and he didn't dare to move.

One of the men said in a rough voice: "Brother, let's rest for a while, I haven't stopped after walking for such a long time, so I can smoke a bag of cigarettes." ”

Several other people laughed and said, "Lao Liu is addicted to smoking." As he spoke, he grinned and smoked.

Chu Qiao was anxious, and his brows were tightly locked. The cold wind blew, and Xiao Ba's clothes were thin, and he trembled even more. Suddenly, the north wind suddenly became stronger, and with a bang overturned the straw mat on the car, the straw mat turned around a few times in mid-air, and fell to the ground with a click, and the yellow straw mat was dark red, and it was full of dark red blood.

Chu Qiao and Xiao Ba looked at the car together, and suddenly as if they had been struck by lightning, Chu Qiao stretched out his hand and covered Xiao Ba's mouth tightly!

The moon pierced through the clouds and cast the white moonlight down, only to see the small cart, stacked with the corpses of young children, like a pile of lifeless cabbage and turnips. The withered and thin corpse of Ju Xiang was naked, with bruises on it, his eyes were wide open, the corners of his eyes were full of pitch-black blood clots, his lower body was in a mess, his hands and feet were still tied with hemp rope, and his posture was strange, and he was placed on top in the most humiliating way.

Chu Qiao covered Xiaoba's mouth tightly, and hugged her with his other hand. The child seemed to be crazy, desperately trying to push her away and rush out, big hot tears fell down and smashed on Chu Qiao's arm, the teeth bit down mercilessly, and the blood overflowed, slowly flowing down Chu Qiao's white wrist, dripping in the dark soil. The moonlight shone on the two of them through the sparse flowers and trees, and the light and shadow were mottled and bleak as frost.

I don't know how long it took, but the cart faded away, and there was a dead silence all around. Chu Qiao slowly let go of his hand, and the flesh of his palm turned up, dripping with blood. Hachi seems to have been stupid, and he can't speak in a daze. Chu Qiao stretched out his hand and patted the child's face, his voice hoarse, and carefully whispered her name as if a ghost was crying.

The cold wind is miserable, the dead wood is swaying, and the night is silent, and the hustle and bustle of the silk and bamboo in the main mansion of the former garden seems to come slowly from another world.

"Kill them...... "Kill them," the six-year-old muttered with a sudden look in his eyes, "to go...... Go...... Kill them! ”

The child's eyes were red, and she was rummaging around, as if looking for something, when suddenly she grabbed a stone from the flowers, stood up and was about to rush out. Chu Qiao's hands were quick, he grabbed the child and held her in his arms.

"Kill them! Kill them! The child could no longer hold back his screams, his little face full of crazy hatred and despair, tears streaming down his face, and he almost broke down.

Chu Qiao's heart ached like a knife, and he hugged the crazy child in his arms tightly, and tears finally poured down.

These beasts, these beasts, these ten thousand deaths are not enough to wash away the scum of sin.

She has never hated her like this, she has never wanted to kill like she did at this moment, and the overwhelming hatred seemed to sweep her whole person. She hated the cruelty of those people, hated the evil way of the world, hated her own weakness, hated her powerlessness, hated herself for being able to watch but could not do anything.

The cry of the child in her arms almost collapsed like a knife, slashing at her heart and lungs one by one, if she had a submachine gun in her hand at this moment, she would definitely not hesitate to rush into the front garden lord's mansion and kill all those scum.

It's a pity she didn't, she didn't have anything. With no money, no power, no background, no good skills, no sophisticated weapons, she is just an otherworldly ghost trapped in Jing Yue'er's small body, although she has thousands of years of knowledge and mind beyond this era, but at this moment, she can only squat in the flowers and hide carefully, and she doesn't even have the courage to see them for the last time.

Chu Qiao raised her head slowly, the cold moonlight shone on her face, she secretly swore to herself, only this once, she would never want a second time, never live like this with nothing, never live without self-protection like this, never again!

The cold moon is like water, and in the huge Zhuge mansion, two weak low-level slaves are squatting in the flowers in the back garden, like two cowering puppies, leaning close together, and their hearts are churning, but it is enough to destroy the hatred of heaven and earth.

When I returned to the yard of the handyman, it was already late at night, and before I entered the courtyard door, I found that the door was wide open. Chu Qiao's heart suddenly cooled, and he let go of Xiao Ba's hand and ran in.

I saw that the room was messy, the bedding on the kang was full of blood, and there were many adult footprints on the ground, but there was no shadow of Xiao Qi.

"Yue'er, you're back!" The girl from before suddenly came out from under the pyre in the corner.

Chu Qiao hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her, and asked in a deep voice, "What about Xiao Qi?" Where did Xiao Qi go? ”

The girl cried and said, "Steward Zhu brought someone here, saying that Xiao Qi had broken his hand and would not be able to work anymore, so he asked someone to carry Xiao Qi, saying that he was going to throw it into the Pavilion Lake to feed the crocodiles." ”
