Chapter 15: The Cruel Game
The son's facial features are exquisite, his eyebrows are picturesque, his apricot eyes are as clear and bright as if they are hiding stars, and the tails of his eyes are slightly raised, which adds a bit of enchantment to his already very handsome face.
Ye Ningxiang was overwhelmed by the beauty of the son, and became a little stunned for a while, completely forgetting about stealing buns. only heard a snapping sound, the back of his head was hit by something, and he suddenly felt unbearable pain, Ye Ningxiang covered her head and couldn't help screaming, and when she looked down, she found that it was a shoe that hit her, which was the shoe of the boss of the bun shop who was chasing her.
The boss ran to Ye Ningxiang with a pang, knocked Ye Ningxiang's head with his hand, and said angrily: "You little beggar, did you steal buns under my nose and eat bear heart leopard gall!"
Then the boss took a few breaths and continued: "I can still run, but I'm tired of grandpa." Let's go with me to see the official!" the boss grabbed Ye Ningxiang's thin little hand and pulled it and walked in the direction of the official mansion.
At this time, the boy said very calmly: "It's just stealing a bun, why is the boss so angry, in my opinion, forget it!"
"Who are you, you want to be nosy!" said the boss angrily and with a defiant look.
The boy smiled and said, "It's no one down there, just an ordinary passerby." Boss, you think it's good or not, you take the money, and you don't want to pursue this little girl anymore. With that, the boy took out three gold leaves from his cuffs and handed them to the boss.
The boss suddenly became angry, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Okay, in fact, it's not a big deal, children, it's good to discipline more in the future." ”
I saw that the boy who seemed to be weak before suddenly had a gloomy face, and the cold in his eyes was aggressive, and he said: "You are narrow-minded and mercenary, and the steamed buns you want to make there will not be much better, from today onwards, you will close the steamed bun shop!"
The boss looked stunned and was about to argue, but the attendant beside the boy had put a dagger to his neck. The boss was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more, and the three golden leaves he had received earlier also slipped to the ground because his hands were trembling.
"There's a saying I want you to remember, sometimes no one is more terrible than anyone else!" The son's words were full of shock, making the boss break out in a cold sweat.
The boy gestured, and the attendant finally removed the dagger against the boss's neck, and the boss immediately fled as if he had lost his soul.
Ye Ningxiang still felt that the son was as gentle as jade a moment ago, but at this moment, she already felt that this person was unfathomable, and even a little ruthless.
"Little girl, what's your name?" the boy returned to his previous elegant state, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly to reveal a faint smile.
"My name is Ye Ningxiang. ”
"I see that you are also homeless, and you will follow me in the future, are you willing?" the boy continued to laugh.
Ye Ningxiang didn't expect that the boy to be so generous, not to mention helping him out of the siege, but also to take him in, so he blurted out without hesitation: "I am willing." ”
Unexpectedly, the casually said "I do" that day would eventually become the fuse that overturned the world.
Then, the prince generously allowed Ye Ningxiang to get into the carriage and followed him back to his mansion.
The carriage stopped, Ye Ningxiang carefully got out of the carriage, and saw a large plaque with the word "Xiao Mansion" hanging directly above the main entrance of the mansion. Not surprisingly, the son's surname should be Xiao.
The attendant knocked lightly on the door, and the housekeepers in the mansion opened the door very obediently, and each half bent down, bowed his head, and said, "Young Master Yu." ”
Yu Gongzi nodded, waved his hand again, and motioned for the family to go about his own business. Then Yu Gongzi led Ye Ningxiang to the guest room, called two maidservants, and asked them to help Ye Ningxiang dress up and dress up.
Although this Xiao Mansion is not as beautiful as Ning Wangfu, it also has a unique feeling, classical and elegant but solemn and luxurious. Ye Ningxiang changed her clothes and wandered around the mansion, but was stopped by the attendant who had followed Yu Gongzi before.
"Little girl, Yu Gongzi ordered me to take you to a place, come with me!"
Ye Ningxiang obediently followed behind the attendant, but many questions appeared in her heart, looking at that Yu Gongzi's food and clothing should not be an ordinary person, what is his identity? Everyone calls him Yu Gongzi, what is his name? This attendant looked anxious Where is he going to take her?
Ye Ningxiang picked up the question that the attendant was most likely to answer and asked, "Brother, what is Yu Gongzi's real name?"
"My son-in-law's name is Xiao Qingyu, and he is a famous tea merchant in our Darui country," the attendant actually answered two questions in her heart in a row. "I really don't understand why Childe would take a fancy to you as a weak little bit!" the squire shook his head and said puzzled.
Ye Ningxiang was taken to a dilapidated thatched hut by the attendant, and the attendant rubbed the dusty ground with his foot, revealing a dark grid on the ground. The attendant carefully removed the floor tiles from the hidden grid, and then said, "Yu Gongzi told you to go down below and wait for him." ”
Somehow, Ye Ningxiang had an ominous premonition, but because of the kindness of Yu Gongzi, she could only walk into the dark passage.
The passage is long and looks like it has been carefully designed, and there are unburned candles on both sides, adding a bit of color to the otherwise dark passage. At the end of the secret passage is a secret room, which is large and empty, but it is cool. What surprised Ye Ningxiang the most was that there were eight children in this secret room who were about the same age or older than herself, and these children were also full of questions in their eyes like Ye Ningxiang.
"Did you bring it with Yu Gongzi too?" asked an older child.
"yes. Ye Ningxiang replied. "Are you too?"
The children nodded.
Ye Ningxiang thought to herself: What, I thought that Yu Gongzi deliberately took good care of himself, it turned out that he had collected so many children, and he thought how attractive he was, it turned out that he was self-inflicted!
At this moment, the iron gate fell at the entrance of the chamber, and the nine children were enclosed in the large chamber.
The children were terrified, but they heard Xiao Qingyu's voice again, still full of magnetic and unforgettable voices, "Children, you are all willing to follow me, but there is a game for you to complete right now." This game is that only one of you can get out of this secret room alive, and it is up to you whether you choose to live or die. ”
Xiao Qingyu laughed twice and continued: "Then now the game begins!"
With such an elegant and handsome appearance, how could his heart be so vicious, and he actually joked with the lives of these children, Ye Ningxiang was very resentful in her heart. I saw that the children who were still very kind before showed a fierce light on their faces for a moment, and that look seemed to imply that the other party was going to take the other party's life, or that look was a true portrayal of survival.
Seeing that the children began to kill each other, Ye Ningxiang thought of Xiao Wu, and the situation they were in seemed to be somewhat similar to Xiao Wu. Just as she was in this trance, Ye Ningxiang was hit on the head by a brick held by a child.
Ye Ningxiang felt that warm blood was flowing down the corners of her eyes, and she also took a few steps back due to the impact of external forces, fell to the side of a stone pillar, and touched the ground with her right hand to support her body, but she found that there was a dagger hidden behind this stone pillar. Out of instinct, Ye Ningxiang picked up the dagger and stood on his chest to defend himself, and at the same time, several children also found weapons and were fighting in full swing.
With a few screams, several unarmed children had fallen to the ground and lost their lives. Ye Ningxiang's heart ached, and she shouted: "Don't, don't fight anymore, we will think of a way, we can escape from the secret room without killing each other!"
But how can a really ten-year-old child have Ye Ningxiang's mind to think about problems, they just think that as long as they let themselves live to the end, they can get out of the secret room alive and leave alive.
The child who had attacked her before also picked up a short knife and slashed at Ye Ningxiang frantically, Ye Ningxiang desperately dodged, but was still cut by the child's arm. The moment she was in pain, Ye Ningxiang suddenly woke up, no, she can't die like this, she still has to take revenge, she wants to make the people who murdered the Su clan die well.
Ye Ningxiang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and after a few rounds, Ye Ningxiang stabbed the dagger into the child's heart quickly and accurately.
The iron gate slowly rose, and Ye Ningxiang walked out of the secret room covered in scars, her eyes full of despair. Xiao Qingyu sat leisurely on the chair, saw Ye Ningxiang come out alive, and said casually: "Congratulations!" Ye Ningxiang fainted with a miserable smile.
