Table of Contents 33: Men and Women of the Secret Passage
It was a poor village.
Frail old people, emaciated women, and yellow-skinned children, that's the whole population.
The whole village is ruled by three men, and when there is no food, they force the old people and women to beg, sell the children born to the women, and when they are more crazy, they will eat the stronger children, and the three men do not need stronger enemies than them, the village is their kingdom.
Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger.
The words of the sages are always true.
The tyranny of the three men provoked a revolt, but was powerlessly extinguished, and in such a small village, on the night of the bloody year, twin sisters were born.
The woman who gave birth to them, old and ugly, perhaps hungry, did not have the love of a mother at all when she saw the baby, but was full of craving for food, and opened her fingers to grab her child and swallow it.
A cry that shattered the silence came from the two children, their clear eyes filled with curiosity.
The woman retracted her hand as if electrocuted, and the next day, the villagers found the woman dead in the dimly lit room, in her arms, holding her two children tightly.
Three men found the surviving twins, brought them back to their lodgings with an evil mentality that everyone understood, and raised them until the two sisters were eight years old.
I don't remember which of them wanted to eat the sister's virginity, which led to the trio killing each other.
Lin Duoduo still remembers that she was eight years old, and she only knew that she was hiding in her sister's arms and shivering, but her sister of the same age could already appreciate the fight between the three in front of her with indifferent eyes.
Having lost the three rulers, the villagers who could still walk fled one after another, and in an instant, the place became a dead place.
The young sister brought the food and water that the three men had hidden, and chose a road that no one was to set off, not knowing where the road ahead was, let alone where to go, but as long as Lin Duoduo held her sister's little hand, she would not be afraid.
During the day, the two of them hurried cautiously, looking for a place where there were people, sometimes begging, sometimes stealing, and living by any means.
Until I met the previous singer, Mu Xue.
When she met her in the spring, Mu Xue, who was wearing a long white dress, found the sisters hiding in the grass, like a vigilant little animal, Mu Xue approached with a smile.
Behind her is the young and handsome Lu Yuan and the childish Chen Tong, maybe it's fate, maybe it's Lin Shanshan's excellence, Mu Xue brought the two back to Heavenly Boundary City, and decided to let Lin Shanshan be her heir, it was probably the happiest time for the two sisters, eating not rancid bread, drinking not sewage on the ground, sleeping not on the open grass and crypt, even if it was a simple and simple room, it was like heaven for both of them.
"It was the happiest day. In the dim secret passage, Lin Duoduo leaned against the stone wall, clasped his hands on his knees, and Bai Ye, who was sitting opposite, listened to the woman's long memories without saying a word.
Don't sigh, don't comfort, live in this shit era, everyone will have such unbearable memories.
However, in our eyes, Sister Mu Xue, who is like a god, finally died of the plague, her singing gave the people the confidence to fight the disease, but she fell under the disease, after that day, my sister never smiled again, she changed into Sister Mu Xue's clothes and became the new singer, and I became her personal guard, in fact, there is no need at all, my sister is an A-level martial arts cultivator, and I am a B-level with a usage rate of less than 20%. ”
"I just shamelessly continued to stay by my sister's side, in the name of protecting her, in fact, I didn't know that the person who was protected was my ......" Lin Duoduo squeezed out a bitter smile, and the listener Bai Ye quietly raised the water bag, put it to his mouth and sucked it.
Then, there was silence between the two.
Probably knowing that the other party was waiting for him to speak, Bai Ye asked with rare cooperation: "What happened later?" "Later...... No later, my sister died, it's as simple as that. The light in Lin Duoduo's eyes dimmed, and his body curled up tighter, like a little hedgehog afraid of being injured.
"Who killed him?" Bai Ye's understanding of Lin Shanshan comes more from the days when Lin Duoduo played her, unrestrained, cheerful and energetic, I don't know if Lin Shanshan, who has never met at all, is really like this, but in Bai Ye's heart, Lin Shanshan has been positioned as a sun-like girl.
"I don't know, the other party crossed Chen Tong's defense line and went straight to the quiet room, my sister who has been carrying a knife to protect her body fought with the assassin on the spot, and I also joined the battle when I heard the wind......" Lin Duoduo said this, his voice was broken, and his head was buried in his knees.
"Because I wanted to cover you, I was killed by the other party, right? In normal times, Bai Ye would have scolded Lin Duoduo for his stupidity, but now he has a cold tone.
"It was I who killed my sister because of me, and she was killed by the other party. "So you started role-playing?" "Originally, I didn't expect that I would be able to play my sister, it was Lu Yuan who persuaded me to do so, losing my sister without the heir of the singer being determined, it would put Tianyuan City in an incalculable desperate situation......" "Is it him again?" Bai Ye was only hostile to the benevolent city lord, "So, I still have a little question, when you played Lin Shanshan, the song you sang did have unusual power, what means did you use?"
Lin Duoduo hesitated for a moment, then crawled forward with his body bent, took off the light armor on his body with one hand, and pulled open the collar with his fingers, revealing a piece of white skin.
"What are you doing?" Bai Ye was inexplicably vigilant, this woman wouldn't hit too hard, she became frantic and wanted to push herself down, right?
"Don't think about it...... exhaled like an orchid, and a red glow flew on Lin Duoduo's cheeks, "I'll let you see here." "Pointing in the direction, it is the plump chest, and Bai Ye, who is an ape-hearted horse, secretly laments, fuck, I was seduced!
Looking down further, he found an abnormality, a green hexagonal gem was set between the twin peaks, Lin Duoduo probably didn't expect that he would be hot-headed to do such a thing, and instantly sat back in his original position, tightened his collar with both hands, and said in a whisper: "This is the reason." "A Thousand Treasures. Bai Ye blurted out, which made Lin Duoduo a little surprised, "You also know?" "I don't know, but I can guess." Touching his chin, Bai Ye finally understood why the singer's singing voice had that intoxicating feeling, not only because of the singer's strength, but also because of the green gem.
The Thousand Treasures is a weapon developed hundreds of years ago, and it can also be understood as a supporting prop, but until now, only thirteen have been confirmed to be extant.
"Your gem is ......" "Nature, that's its name." "The magic stone is natural, so that the host's voice has a hypnotic effect, which is also the source of the power of the singer of Tianyuan City.
"Thirteen Thousand Treasure Tools, there is one of them in you...... It's no wonder that you can play the role of a singer so smoothly. I don't know what came to mind, Bai Ye smiled weirdly.
"It's different, my singing voice is always different from my sister and Sister Mu Xue...... I should have noticed it when I went out on the street with you that day, and those old people could hear that my singing voice only had a form, not a soul. "So as soon as Nanyun's wife died, you were in a mess, and you simply lost Lin Shanshan's mask?" Bai Ye laughed unceremoniously, but the other party gave an unexpected answer.
"Do you still remember what happened in the quiet room after you finished breakfast, before that, Lu Yuan had already taken the first step to tell me about it, and it was also his intention to let Lin Shanshan disappear. ”
"What the hell is he going to do? Judging from the plan I heard, he plans to give Tianyuan City to Shenzhou, and I think Shenzhou is also eager to occupy this treasure land, so that he can move his army directly into the other three junior brother countries in the future. Bai Ye frowned, feeling more and more that Lu Yuan seemed to have some other purpose.
"He is a very simple person, when we were young, he would tell stories to our sisters, and he would smile very shy in front of Sister Mu Xue, which attracted the laughter of my sister and me, my sister became a singer, and the day he lost his smile, he also died, not the body, but the soul, what he wanted to destroy was not the city, but the existence of the singer. Maybe he was tired, Lin Duoduo leaned back and changed his sitting position, "But, it's okay, anyway, now that I've been sentenced to death, so are you, this secret passage will be discovered sooner or later, and when that moment comes, you and I will be killed." ”
"I'm not going to get it down. With sharp eyes, Bai Ye was already a beast crawling in the dark at this time.
"You can't beat them. Lin Duoduo hit him.
"Maybe. Bai Ye pursed his lips, according to common sense, it is true, but this world has long been unable to think according to common sense.
"Do you like my sister?" The dim light made Bai Ye unable to see Lin Duoduo's deliberately hidden expression, let alone understand such an abrupt and brainless question.
"Your sister is dead, but I don't hate the Lin Shanshan you performed. ”
"Not hate, not like. ”
"Women are so verbose. ”
"Then another way to ask, do you like me?" When she looked up again, Lin Duoduo's face was filled with a familiar smile, which was an expression that belonged to Lin Shanshan, and this woman once again entered Lin Shanshan's role.
Bai Ye didn't say anything, just waved his head regretfully: "I have someone I like." ”
"Even if you know you're going to die, don't you leave me with some illusions......" The smile fell, the person sitting there will no longer be Lin Shanshan, she here is just Lin Duoduo.
"I'm not such a kind man. As he was talking, Bai Ye suddenly quieted down.
"Crunch" In the distance, there was an overwhelming shaking sound, followed by a cracking sound.
"They're coming......" Closing his eyes in resignation, Lin Duoduo knew that his life had finally come to an end.
Bai Ye stood up, with his back to the woman on the ground, standing there with his head held high, his left hand slowly raised, and placed it on the candle flame: "Eat and drink enough, I've been here for a whole day, it's time to withdraw." "Where can you go?" Lin Duoduo sneered at the dying struggle of the man in front of him, just an old human, did he really think that he could be killed under the siege of many martial cultivators?
"Go to the old lady, go to Sister Yunyi, and go to the little girl who promised to pray. "Why are they all women?" ...... "Bai Ye seemed to think about this question very seriously, and finally came up with an answer, "If you agree to go back, do you still do it with a man?" He gripped the dagger in his right hand and let out a smug smile.
In the distance, the sound of footsteps is approaching, and at the corner of the corner, the first thing that appears is the combination of rib and laurel, seeing Bai Ye standing with his sword in his hand and looking ready to fight to the death, the two of them almost burst into laughter, without praying that the evil girl is by his side, an old human, what can he do?
"Do you have any last words?" Lin Duoduo, who was sitting on the ground, tilted his head and asked why the tall back, obviously just an old human, made him feel at ease in this picture.
"Ask me or yourself?"
"Ask you, and ask myself. ”
"You say it first, ladies first. Bai Ye looked at Rib Wen and Gui Yue who rushed towards him, as well as the unknown pawn who followed behind, and said lightly.
Lin Duoduo's eyes widened, and he used his last life to remember the back of this man who was not a man: "I have never been in love, I am still a virgin, I ...... I want to fall in love with you. "In this era, we don't have the qualifications for this luxury. The enemy was approaching, but Bai Ye was smiling colder than ever.
"Well, I think I'm in love with you, sludge boy, this is my last word, not Lin Shanshan, but Lin Duoduo......! I like you......" After that, the voice rippled, and the sour tears that followed him, who is not afraid of death?
Lin Duoduo's nails pierced into his palms.
Bai Ye in front of him clenched his left hand and extinguished the candle, and the secret passage suddenly became pitch black.
Even if your eyes were not closed, it was still dark.
"Carving insect skills!" Ribbed's right palm pushed forward, and he could already imagine that the kid was crippled by himself, and in the darkness, only the gusts of wind whistled, and he didn't touch the prey, but something crossed his neck.
"Poof" spurted blood columns floating up and down in front of him.
"No...... Probably ...... "" next. Bai Ye, who was rolling in the air, crossed Rib's tall body, and the short sword in his hand beckoned to Gui Yue behind him.
"Rib, what's wrong?" As if smelling a strong smell of blood, the pale Gui Yue stretched out her right hand, and a dazzling sword light fell immediately, and her palm fell to the ground, "Ah...... Ahhhhh......h
"Hey, are you all right?" "Be careful, that guy ......" "Ahhh......" There were screams continuously, but Lin Duoduo couldn't see what was happening in front of him, until a few minutes later, the secret passage was quiet again, leaving only the pungent smell that kept coming, making the stomach juice churn.
"Pap" stepped on the slippery blood, Bai Ye walked in front of Lin Duoduo, and the two who were used to the darkness looked at each other, "Use the darkness of the moment to kill them...... But what about when you go out? You have to face far more than the current number of martial cultivators. Lin Duoduo still couldn't help but say a frustrating word.
"I don't care if you want to die, at least I don't want to, of course, I also know what the consequences will be if you kill a person. This time, the short sword was on Lin Duoduo's neck, and Bai Ye's breath was close at hand.
"So, lend me your head. "If you can survive that way, fine. For the first time, he smiled at Bai Ye with Lin Duoduo's identity, compared to Lin Shanshan's brilliant sunshine, what was in front of him was quiet beauty.
"Don't you be afraid, don't you hate me?"
"It's all death anyway, let you die with guilt, but I earned it. ”
"What a fool, do I look like such a kind person? However, I can assure you that I will definitely live, and I will leave Tianyuan City alive. ”
Short sword stabs.
