Chapter 32: The Hunt

When she deliberately touched the earlobe behind the side of his face, there was a tiny poisonous needle stained with vine poison between her fingers. Once the poisonous needle is pierced into the acupuncture point behind the ear, it can temporarily paralyze the person and make him unable to move.

She dragged him back into the house and tied his hands and feet firmly.

She retrieved a rusty blade she found in the kitchen, and the blade burned repeatedly on the candle flame, faintly steaming hot. She came to him with a piece of burnt iron in her hand, waving it as if she were playing with an interesting gadget.

She looked at him with a smile, her bright eyes were like autumn water, as if she was about to melt the frost in March, and said delicately: "Do you want to say it?" Who ordered you to do this? ”

Murong Yue stared at her coldly, her thin lips tightly closed, and she was silent.

"Alas......" Yao Yun saw that he looked at death as home, and suddenly felt bored, threw the patch casually, and lay down on the bed on the side of himself, "It's really boring." It's been so long, why haven't your secret guards come out to protect you? ”

Murong Yue was stunned, feeling as if he had been put on the table again.

He said dejectedly: "One person went to buy goods, one person went to deliver letters, and there was no one else in the house." Why don't you run away? ”

Yao Yun turned over, crossed his legs and looked at him sideways, and said indifferently: "Run, where can I escape?" No matter how bad it is, I have to go back to Chang'an, and I still have my family in Chang'an. ”

Murong Yue's body was shocked, her bright eyes were ready to move again, her thoughts were full of thoughts, and she sighed: "Do you have other family members?" ”

"Of course, I also have a good brother and a good sister." Yao Yun said truthfully, and at the same time, a little bleakness and sadness came out of his eyes, and asked tentatively, "Do you miss your family too?" ”

He stared straight at her, breathing heavily.

She looked at her and said loudly: "If I have a way to solve your lovesickness, would you like to tell me who did it?" ”

He was stunned and shook his head helplessly: "It's useless, I'll never see her again." ”

Yao Yun pursed her lips, closed her eyes and took a nap by herself, and no longer bothered him.

"Mrs. Yao! Yao Niangzi! Wake up! ”

Yao Yun was suddenly awakened, it was Murong Yue who was anxiously calling her in a suppressed voice.

She glanced up at him, listened closely, and heard something wrong!

At this time, the silence around the house was silent, and even the sound of cicadas and birds was faint, as if it was a living thing.

She quickly got up and untied the hemp rope for him, and said in a dumb voice, "Where is your secret guard?" ”

His eyes sank, and he said helplessly: "This time has not come back yet, I'm afraid it's ......"

"You two secret guards are too useless!" She quickly tore the white curtain on the side of the bed curtain, drenched it with tea, and handed it to him: "Take it!" ”

"My two secret guards, well, what do they mean?"

"There is a strong smell of kerosene, they are going to burn us alive!"

He snapped, "No, it can't be, he, he said he came to save you......"

Yao Yun stared back at him sharply, and said quietly: "Whether you believe it or not, if you don't think about it, the two of us will be trapped here and burned alive......"

Outside the house, a faint fire flickered, and the flames began to burn, and the edges of the windows were faintly hot, like a ruthless demon vowing to devour them all.

Murong Yue finally reacted, rolled up his sleeves and slammed the wooden door in front of him, never thinking that the small door had been nailed by someone outside.

He gasped for breath urgently, scurrying like a headless fly, and cried, "Yao Niangzi, what, what should I do...... No, it can't be, the man said he was here to save you......"

Yao Yun was stunned, grabbed his shoulder suddenly, and shouted: "Tell me quickly, who ordered you to take me?" ”

He choked on two puffs of smoke, covered his mouth with a damp cloth and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, yes, Mr. Zhengji, he, he sent someone to destroy the cruise ship, ordered me to escape with you, he said, he will come here to find our ......"

She coughed a few times, the fire outside the house was fierce, and the main entrance must not be able to get out, she turned around and poked along the bottom of the stone wall inch by inch: "See if there are any other exits......

"Yao Niangzi, we, we won't be burned alive like this, no, no, no, I came all the way to Xijing, and I haven't had time to look at her again......" Murong Yue pulled her blackened and scorched sleeves helplessly, and howled wolf.

The corners of the surrounding walls had long been burned and blackened, and the heat by the window was rolling and the flames were raging, but unfortunately she found nothing.

Her eyes sank, and she pulled Murong Yue back step by step, and was forced to retreat to the edge of the bed at the end, anxious, burning, and helpless......

The flames were blazing but most merciless, and the house was remote and unrescued, and the flames burned the hut all night, and the next morning, only a pile of black charcoal residue remained.

"Did you find a corpse?" A masked man dressed in black said gloomily.

In front of him stood four or five men in black, all of whom bowed their hands respectfully, not daring to say more.

One of them replied in a low voice: "Hui, Huiduwei's words, no, no one." The villains found a small iron door under the back wing, which should be a secret passage. ”

The masked man in the lead was full of fear, and roared angrily: "Useless waste things, what are you waiting for, don't chase it yet!" ”

Yao Yun led Murong Yue to run away in a hurry all night, and along the way, he did not forget to make a mark on the tree that Mr. knew. Fortunately, Murong Yue can also do some light skills, and sometimes he can trot on her back for a while. When the sky was slightly white, the two finally escaped to a deserted and ruined temple deep in the dense forest.

Both were gray-faced and tired, and their robes were charred and blackened.

In the past, when she was in a private house in Liangzhou, her husband often told her about the secret techniques of the Qijing in "Qimen Dunjia" and the wonderful construction method in "The Book of Wood".

She was curious for a moment, and one day she took it upon herself to dig a plank under her couch, dig a mound of earth, and quietly dig a secret passage, and then zigzag straight into the courtyard of her husband, and dug an exit under the mud where the kitchen was located.

Although the two houses were not far apart, there was a secret passage unknowingly, and no one noticed it. The most surprising thing is that the foundations of the two houses are as solid as before. Even the husband praised her again and again for being teachable.

Yao Yun finally came to his senses, looked at him with blazing eyes, and said excitedly: "Murong Langjun, you say it again, is it true that Mr. asked you to save me?" ”

Before Murong Yue could catch his breath, he was pulled left and right by her, and he had to reply: "Yes, yes, yes, it is Mr.'s plan." But, but the gentleman asked me to save you, why, how did it catch fire......"
