Thirteen, the moonlight ripples blood halo
Thirteen, the moonlight ripples blood halo
Yiyou hadn't noticed that there was a woman and a child in the corner, but she looked like she was dying, her hair was messy and she couldn't see her face at all, and the child was held tightly in her arms, looking safe and sound.
He tiptoed towards her without alarming the others.
"Are you alright?" Yiyou squatted down and whispered to her.
She struggled to raise her head, examined Yiyou carefully, and after making sure that Yiyou had no malicious intent, she replied weakly, "I'm fine." ”
When she looked up, Yiyou also saw that her face was covered with blood, covering her original appearance, but her eyes were beautiful, big and bright, and Yiyou didn't think she was a bad person.
"Why did you shed so much blood? Are you hurt? Yiyou tiptoed close to her and asked.
"Hmm." She looked a little tired and didn't want to say more.
"Do you hurt?" Yi Youyou asked softly.
She shook her head gently, hugging the child in her arms tighter, her gaze was very gentle. That kind of gaze is all too familiar, it was a mother's gaze, exactly the same as the look of Eniang when she looked at her and Zhenxue.
Yiyou looked at the child in her arms strangely, a small soft ball, curled up in her arms, very cute, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here with such a small child?" ”
She just sighed, as if she didn't want to say more about the child, and vaguely said, "It's nothing." ”
When Yiyou was about to continue asking, he heard an old man's whisper, "Be careful." ”
Yiyou didn't think much about it, and looked back defenselessly and asked, "Ah, what?" ”
There was the sound of chains rubbing against the ground, and then a gust of wind blew in his face, and before Yiyou could react, he was kicked aside, and at the same time, the grandfather's nervous voice sounded, "Don't, don't hurt her." ”
Yiyou looked at the sound of iron chains she had heard before, and was surprised to find that except for herself and the woman lying on the ground, everyone here had thick iron chains tied to their feet, and she could only walk to the side of the pool at the farthest, and she did not find this because of fear before.
When Yiyou raised his head, he found that the old man had been entangled with the man, and the chains were constantly making noises, and the sound was particularly harsh in this quiet dark room.
At the moment, he didn't care about the pain on his body, and looked at them intently, secretly worried about the safety of the old man.
But she could only see two figures changing rapidly, and she couldn't distinguish the two of them at all, let alone see which of the two of them won and who lost, and she couldn't help but hang a heart for the old man. Suddenly, the two quickly separated, each standing on one side, the old man covered his heart with his hands, and the corners of his lips were bloody, obviously injured.
Yiyou was anxious about his injury and ran towards him, but he didn't notice the people who were slowly approaching behind him.
When she heard the sound of chains rubbing against the ground behind her, the man behind her was not far from her, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the cold light in his eyes, and when she saw him raise his hand, she almost subconsciously rushed forward, trying to avoid his attack.
Just as she was secretly relieved to avoid him, she heard the sound of the locking chains again, and barely had time to catch her breath, and she began to dodge again. For some reason, she only needed to avoid the attack of the person behind her, but later it was each of them who attacked her within their own range of activity, and each time she had just escaped from the range of one person and entered the range of another person, narrowly brushing shoulders with death, and she was already out of breath and out of breath after a circle.
In a trance, she fell into the hands of the person who had attacked her at the beginning, and she recognized that it was he who had thrown her into the pool, and that he had just kicked herself.
There was a constant chill on his body, which was no better than his uncle's terrifying gaze.
She couldn't help but be stunned.
The old man's cough echoed in the dark room, and Yiyou saw that blood was still spilling from the corners of his lips.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said weakly: "Scorpion, let her go, she's still young." ”
The man snorted coldly, ignored Yiyou anymore, and said coldly to the old man: "Then take care of her, I have already warned her, this is the second time, if there is a next time, even if he comes back, he can't stop me." With that, he let go of his grip and strode towards the woman on the ground. The chains dragged on the ground with a screeching sound.
Yiyou sat weakly on the ground against the wall, and there was a pain in his back.
"Come back, kid." The old man stretched out his hand and motioned for Yiyou to go back to him.
Yiyou slowly crawled to his side, and his head was already sweating.
He helped Yiyou sit up, checked Yiyou's injuries, and after seeing that there was no major problem, he said to Yiyou with a serious face: "Don't go over there in the future." ”
also looked at him puzzled.
He paused slightly, and said, "These have nothing to do with you, you just need to remember that you can't go over there, otherwise even I won't be able to save you." ”
Yiyou bowed his head and remained silent, understanding that he had sacrificed his life to save himself just now.
He sighed and said in a deep voice: "That's the scorpion's person, we have no right to touch her, it's better for you to provoke less." ”
Yiyou retorted, "But, she's dying." ”
He looked up and said, "When she came in here, she should know that she couldn't get out alive." ”
"What about the kid? Is he going to die too? Yiyou looked up and asked him.
He shook his head, "I don't know any of this, their life and death are now in the hands of the scorpion, if he is in a good mood, he may leave them a way to live, if not, he will ........." He did not say any more, but the result was self-evident.
Yiyou approached him and sat beside him, trying to drive away the inexplicable cold in his heart.
What the hell is this place? There is such a place in this world! I can't understand it.
Suddenly, the woman's screams were heard in my ears, and I looked back in surprise to see what was happening, but the old man covered Yiyou's eyes with his big rough and thick hands before I turned around, and said slowly: "Don't look at it." ”
After that, there was the sound of a heavy object sinking into the pool, and it seemed that a lot of water was splashing out of the pool.
Yiyou didn't break free of his hand, just used his ears to listen to the woman's voice, but Yiyou didn't hear her voice anymore, and the dark room was inexplicably quiet, but the child seemed to have woken up and been crying, without the slightest intention of stopping, and there was a very bad feeling in people's hearts.
Yiyou couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, what about that sister?" Why doesn't that little kid cry sister? ”
Grandpa didn't answer her, it was another person's voice answering her, he seemed to be laughing, laughing wildly, he replied with a cruel smile: "Ha, she's dead, tsk, it's really ......... It's exciting. ”
Yiyou stepped back, shrunk in front of the old man, and asked him in a trembling voice, "Grandpa, this is not true, is it?" ”
The smell of blood wafted into her nose, but she still didn't want to believe it.
Grandpa said in a deep voice, "She's dead." ”
said that his hand hung down, and he saw it again.
At the scorpion's feet, there was a large pool of blood, staining the whole ground red, and the child lay in the middle of the blood, shaking his limbs, waiting for his mother to pick it up.
Red, what a piercing red.
In the past, Yiyou always thought that red was the most beautiful color in the world, and it represented power and happiness. But why is the red in front of her now bleak and powerless. It was so red, red like the royal aunt's favorite red, but it was warm, hot, piercing, thrilling. No, it's not red, it's blood!
At that moment, Yiyou's eyes were filled with the flowing blood, and she smelled a strong smell of blood, she finally couldn't control it, and wanted to scream loudly, but before she could scream, the old man took the lead in covering her mouth and holding her in his arms, not looking at those she didn't want to see.
Yiyou trembled in his arms, "I'm afraid, grandpa, I'm afraid........." Yiyou cried, but forced himself not to make a sound, and tears poured into his mouth, with a salty bitterness.
"Phew!"
Yiyou couldn't hear the child's cry, and there was laughter from someone else.
What had happened was already self-evident, and she no longer had the strength to turn her head to look at the child.
She couldn't bear what she was seeing anymore, her breathing became rapid, and the flurry of shock and fear caused her to faint.
"E-niang." Yiyou called in a delirious voice, I really hope that all this is just a nightmare, and when I wake up, I am still in Nangong Mansion.
