18 Past
After Yunluo finished taking the medicine, Thirteen Niang helped her to the soft couch behind the screen, and advised: "Rest well these days, don't go out again." โ
Yunluo nodded, fading away from the coldness and arrogance on the high platform, like a child who needs to be taken care of after being sick.
Seeing her like this, Thirteen Niang's eyes were slightly red after experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world, and she couldn't help but think of the night she met her for the first time three years ago.
It was a cold rainy night, she came out with an umbrella to buy medicine, passed by the corner and heard a movement inside, thought it was a stray cat and dog foraging for food, but heard a whimper, and found a woman being bullied with rags in her mouth, so she slaughtered the two beasts with a knife.
At that time, she looked like a frail woman who was miserable, with broken feet, scars, and blood that had been washed out of her โกโก and poured all over the ground. She thought that the woman who was in such a situation should cry or faint, but she didn't, she didn't cry, she didn't look for death, she didn't fall to the ground, she raised her weak hand and pulled the rags from her mouth, stood up slowly by herself against the wall, raised her head, faced the rain, and said to her with the only strength she had, "Save me." โ
She will always remember that look, cold and desperate, like ashes after a fire burns, dead silence, empty, but it is clear that everything is gone, and there is nothing to love, but it sends a distress signal to her.
She took her back to the catkins, and the first thing she said when she bandaged her wound was, "Teach me." โ
She looked at her beautiful face and said coldly: "What to teach you?" โ
The corners of her mouth swayed into a weak smile, like a moon-white peony: "Teach me to seduce men." โ
The smile slowly opened, and then suddenly froze, and she raised her eyes like a sharp blade: "Teach me to kill." โ
She finally saw what was behind those eyes, it was not empty, there was a wall, hard and cold, erected high, and it was this wall that prevented her from moving towards death, and the name of the wall was Unwilling and Hateful.
Because of these eyes, she nodded.
When a woman entered the Qinglou, she wanted to change her name, but she didn't change it. She has excellent talents, she can understand everything, she already knows piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, plus she is born with a good skin, which is an extremely rare piece of peerless jade.
But if she wants to overwhelm the entire Xixuan, to be a blockbuster, to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dance skills, she has to hang the beam day and night, and pull apart the muscles and bones that have already been formed.
To learn to kill, in the past three years, she has made rapid progress, injured her vitality, and suffered a lot, she needs to take ghost incense pills every day to renew her spirits, otherwise her body temperature will soar, the pain around her body will be unbearable, and it will be difficult to sleep at night.
She knows all the patience of the past three years, and she also knows the suffering of the past three years.
Originally, this is Yunluo's own choice, but after three years of getting along and accompaniment, there will always be indescribable bonds and emotions between people, looking at her deteriorating body now, she is secretly worried, and even a little regretful: "Maybe I was wrong, although I saved you at the beginning, I shouldn't have taught you martial arts, I shouldn't have followed you, you were too anxious, and you hurt your body, but this ghost incense pill can't cure you." โ
"Nope." Yunluo shook his head lightly, his long hair like a crow feather fluttered gently, "I should thank you, Thirteen Niang, if it weren't for you, I would have died that night, and I would have rotted in a corner where no one knew about it with pain and hatred, and there would be no Xia Yunluo today." I'm very satisfied, he knows my existence and comes back to me, I have learned martial arts, I can eradicate evil with my own strength, I have done everything I want, and I seem to have got everything I wanted. It doesn't really matter if you live for a few decades, what do you do if you live so long, I don't want to be wrinkled and become an ugly old woman, it actually sounds beautiful, doesn't it, I think, this is the destination that a prostitute should have, and it is also a legend that a prostitute should have, so it's good. Her smile deepened, "Very good." โ
Thirteen Niang was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, but at this moment stood up and walked to the screen. When she was young, she was irritable and easy to get angry, and as she got older, her temperament had already calmed down a lot, but now when she heard Yunluo's words and saw the portrait depicted on the screen, a burst of irritability came to her heart: "Red face and thin life? What woman would be hungry for her life? What they envy is the hand of the child for a long time, you are a woman's proper age, you should be carefree and happy, why are you always trapped by the past and entangled in feelings? If you can let go of your past obsessions, you can enjoy a great life. If one day the Western Xinjiang creates a women's imperial examination, you can also compete for male and female, maybe you will also become the person who surprised the king of the West on the top of the Xixuan Palace, I know, your talent is not worse than him! She looked downward, took the hand covered by the gauze skirt, and looked at it sadly, "How beautiful these hands are, they can write poems, play the piano, and paint, but they should never ...... It shouldn't be used to kill. โ
Yunluo looked at his hands quietly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his soft face was dyed with a sharp color: "You are wrong, Thirteen Niang, these hands should be used to kill." What's the use of being able to write poems, play the piano, and paint, it's just a game of vassal elegance at the fingertips, providing some entertainment for those who are on top, and what should those who are below, especially women, do, being bullied by street bullies, being played with by their children, but they are powerless to struggle. Back then, Thirteen Niang, you saved me, since I survived, what should I do, these hands, should not be so weak anymore, a little blood is nothing, maybe it is a relief for me. โ
"Those people deserve to die, but you shouldn't be so impulsive, you shouldn't have gone to the Li Mansion last night to kill Li Jingyu, the only son of Li Yannian of the Criminal Department, without saying hello to me. Li Yannian has been in charge of the Criminal Department for many years, the tree has deep roots, his hands and eyes are open to the sky, and he is very short, Li Jingyu is his only son, and now that he is dead, Li Yannian will definitely not give up. Although he is cruel, he is indeed a capable person, and he has solved countless cases, and if you act rashly like this, if you are discovered, the various punishments in the prison of the Criminal Department will make your life worse than death. โ
Yunluo's eyes showed remorse: "It's Yunluo who is reckless, he shouldn't be so impulsive, if he involves the thirteen mothers and the entire Liuwu Pavilion sisters, Yunluo can't escape the blame, it's just that Xiaoqiu is only eleven years old and hasn't grown up yet, I often think that if I started earlier, it would be good if I inserted the silver needle into his head as soon as possible, is it because I have been delaying again and again, so I will hurt Xiaoqiu." โ
The anger in Thirteen Niang's heart slowly receded, and her eyes gradually showed pity: "Evil in the world happens all the time, even if you stop this, you can't stop that, people can't torture themselves with these things, if you carry too much, you won't be able to live." You have to remember that it is not you who is wrong, but those who do evil. She soothed softly, "You've done a good job." โ
Hearing this, Wujiang finally knew the answer.
The murderer is indeed an Oiran cloud, the killing method is to penetrate the brain with a silver needle, find the acupuncture point into the brain to the whole root, the silver needle is extremely thin, plus the hair is covered, and the death is silent without flaws, unless the brain is opened, it is difficult to detect. This is indeed a very secret murder method, but it is difficult for people to insert silver needles into acupuncture points during movement, and if they are deviated, they cannot be killed instantly. It needs to be very close to the prey, and the prey does not run around, but how can there be such a well-behaved prey in this world, and it is not an easy thing for most people to let the prey be so restrained.
However, for the person in front of him, it is an easy task.
Such a beautiful face, just one glance, can make people's hearts flutter, as long as the eyebrows are raised, you can be soul-stunning, gentle township is a hero's mound, even heroes can't be avoided, let alone bears.
The smile of a beautiful woman is a knife that kills people.
Wujiang retracted his gaze, and the original Oiran who moved the capital of the country actually had such a painful past, getting up from the quagmire, not hesitating to overdraw his life, and becoming a killer with a knife in his hand.
It's just that such a bloody woman doesn't seem to have a good ending, the wear and tear of the body, the investigation of the criminal department, and the unclear that Zhao Shichen said that someone wants to kill her.
It's a pity.
But Wujiang doesn't plan to continue to understand, he is still too busy to take care of himself, how can he have the strength to interfere with others. Maybe everyone has their own destiny, and most of the time others can only watch and cannot interfere.
She withdrew her gaze and tried to leave the dark room, but a voice came from her ear.
"You say, let's not be nosy."
