As soon as Ye Jinyi stepped into the gate of the other garden, he saw Chu Zhongyue sitting in the middle of the courtyard, and Ren Xiaoyun sitting side by side with him.

Behind them were two extremely tall wooden shelves, and a huge iron ring was fastened to the ground, through which the center of a rope passed, and the ends of which hung straight down around the tall wooden frame.

The whole rope is in the shape of a double peak, Ren Ziyu and Ji Ling are tied to both ends of this rope, and directly below them, each has a smoking cauldron, and under the pot, the fire is blazing.

The pot was like a boiling oil pot.

"Sister. ”

"Sister. ”

Chu Zhongyue put down the teacup in his hand, slowly stood up, and sneered: "My niece is here, do you want to come over to have a sip of tea and take a rest." ”

Ye Jinyi withdrew her gaze from Ren Ziyu and Ji Ling, she met Chu Zhongyue's gaze, did not bend around with it, and said bluntly: "What do you want me to do?"

"Since my niece is so happy, I won't go around the bush with you. Chu Zhongyue raised his left hand, pointed to the shelf above his head, and said, "Your two younger brothers are now tied to a rope, and below are two boiling oil pots. As long as you can save them both, I'll let you go. ”

Ye Jinyi inquired, "Just that?"

Chu Zhongyue said: "Naturally, I can't let my niece rescue people so easily, so during this period, I will take action to stop you, niece, just to add some difficulty to this test." ”

In this way, he defined the kidnapping and threat as a test.

Ye Jinyi sneered: "In this way, I won't become a fish on the chopping board." Why don't I stand here and still and give me a sword directly, wouldn't that be more enjoyable?"

Chu Zhongyue shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I still prefer to see you go crazy because you can't save people." ”

Ye Jinyi looked sideways at Ren Xiaoyun on Chu Zhongyue's side, except for the moment he entered the door, Ren Xiaoyun's complexion changed a little, and after that, Ren Xiaoyun kept his head down and didn't say a word.

Therefore, Ye Jinyi raised his hand to Ren Xiaoyun and said, "What about the second uncle?"

Chu Zhongyue looked at Ren Xiaoyun and said with a smile: "Mr. Ren can come and be a witness." ”

Ye Jinyi sneered: "Prove the fairness of this test?"

Chu Zhongyue shook his head and said word by word: "It proves that what is boiling in this pot is oil, not vinegar, and the niece of the province thinks I am joking with you." ”

Before Chu Zhongyue's words were finished, Ren Xiaoyun's complexion had already changed.

Ji Ling and Ren Ziyu's faces also changed, and they suddenly understood something.

Ren Xiaoyun looked up at Chu Zhongyue, and then at Ye Jinyi, his face hesitated, and his hands seemed to be still trembling.

Chu Zhongyue frowned, looking very dissatisfied with Ren Xiaoyun's current hesitation: "Mr. Ren, what are you rubbing? You poured this oil into it yourself, don't you dare to prove that this is oil?"

Ren Xiaoyun's face was embarrassed, and he raised his head and asked, "Master Chu, how do you want me to prove it?"

Chu Zhongyue said with a smile: "It's not simple, Mr. Ren put his right hand into the pot, if your hand is fried into a piece of charred meat when you put it into the pot, then it proves that there is oil in it." ”

His expression was very light, just like Ren Xiaoyun's hand was not a hand, but a chicken foot bought in the bazaar, which could be fried at will.

Ren Xiaoyun's face turned even paler, and he took a step back and said, "Master Chu, this must be oil, why do you need to prove it?"

Chu Zhongyue shook his head, looking very disapproving of Ren Xiaoyun's words: "No, what if someone takes advantage of you and I don't notice to change the oil in it to vinegar?

Ren Xiaoyun hurriedly said: "Never, there are only two people here......

Before Ren Xiaoyun's words were finished, he stopped himself.

There are only two people, him and Chu Zhongyue.

Chu Zhongyue laughed, he turned his head to look at Ren Xiaoyun, and said, "It's just a small proof, why is Mr. Ren so hesitant?"

As he spoke, Chu Zhongyue strode towards Ren Xiaoyun, and directly clamped Ren Xiaoyun's right hand and pulled it to the oil pot under Ren Ziyu.

"Dad!" Ren Ziyu shouted.

Ren Xiaoyun glanced up at his son and began to struggle hard, but no matter what, he couldn't struggle with Chu Zhongyue's clamp, seeing that his right hand was about to be put into the hot oil pot.

At this time, Ren Xiaoyun's left hand suddenly came out of his sleeve, and a short knife immediately stabbed Chu Zhongyue's neck.

Ren Xiaoyun knew that his previous plan had been discovered, and what was in the pot at this time was oil and vinegar, but he didn't believe that his hands were no match for Chu Zhongyue, who only had one hand left, so he decided to give it a go.

But his short knife had just come out of his sleeve when he flew out of nowhere. This kick hit him in the heart, directly causing him to fall a foot away, hit the rockery in the courtyard, and fell heavily to the ground.

Then he fainted.

"What is this doing, niece?" Chu Zhongyue squinted at the night brocade clothes that suddenly appeared in front of him, subconsciously took a step back, looked at Ren Xiaoyun who fainted on the ground with disdain, and said with a smile.

Ye Jinyi glanced at the boiling oil pot and said, "I think the owner of Chu Zhuang must only believe in himself, so he shouldn't trouble others if he proves that this is the heavy responsibility of the oil pot." ”

As soon as her words fell, she slashed the short knife she had snatched from Ren Xiaoyun's hand into the oil pot, and the golden liquid splashed out violently.

Chu Zhongyue subconsciously went to hide, but was clamped on his right arm by Ye Jinyi, and he couldn't break free no matter what.

The hot oil droplets happened to splash on Chu Zhongyue's face, and Chu Zhongyue's face suddenly made a sizzling sound, and then a red and black burn quickly appeared on his face.

"Ahh

Chu Zhongyue didn't have a right hand, so he couldn't push Ye Jinyi away, and under the severe pain, he kicked Ye Jinyi in the abdomen, and then broke free.

Ye Jinyi was kicked back a few steps by Chu Zhongyue, and this retreat, her back hit the edge of the oil pot hard, and the oil in the pot churned back and forth due to this violent impact, and a piece of boiling oil splashed directly out of the pot and poured on Ye Jinyi's back.

Ye Jinyi first felt a dampness in her back, then heard a clear sizzling sound, and then she felt a burning pain in her back.

She seemed to smell the smell of burnt meat.

"Hmm. Ye Jinyi knelt on the ground suddenly, and snorted heavily because of the pain.

"Sister!" Ji Ling frowned and looked at Ye Jinyi, struggling hard, he wanted to break free of the rope that bound him, he believed that with his light skills, he would definitely be able to dodge before falling into the oil pot.

"Niece, it seems that you have proved it more intuitively. Chu Zhongyue felt that his face had been ruined, and his teeth were itching, but when he looked up, he saw Ye Jinyi's situation at the moment, and suddenly felt that the injury on his face was no longer painful. He stood up, looked at Ji Ling who was struggling, and said loudly, "Boy, I know that you are good at doing light work, but you must know that if you break free, you may be able to get out, but the scholar who is tied to a rope with you will definitely die." ”

Hearing this, Ji Ling glanced at Ren Ziyu on the opposite side and suddenly stopped moving.

Ye Jinyi stood up and raised her voice to remind, "Ah Ling, don't take any risks. Don't worry, you'll be fine. ”

Chu Zhongyue raised his hand and pointed to the iron ring on the ground, reminding: "Niece, I forgot to tell you that that iron ring is not an ordinary iron ring, it is a ring full of iron teeth, and the rope will soon be worn out. I think if you try to wait for help to come, you probably won't have time to save your brothers. ”

Ye Jinyi looked at the iron ring, and saw that under the violent friction between the two of them, the rope that went around the iron ring had been worn in half, and now only the half-thick rope was barely supporting their weight.

So she took a deep breath, stood up straight, and clenched the short knife in her hand, her eagle-like black eyes stared at Chu Zhongyue tightly, like staring at an old rabbit in a hurry in the desert.

Chu Zhongyue took a step back and said with a calm smile on his face: "My niece won't save people?"

Ye Jinyi wiped the short knife back and forth on his purple sleeves, hooked his lips and said: "The owner of Chu Zhuang thinks that tying my younger brother can be the main guest, and you can let me be the fish on your cutting board? I think it is necessary for me to let the owner of Chu Zhuang realize who is the cutting board and who is the fish." ”

The smile on Chu Zhongyue's face stiffened a little, and he said in disbelief: "Isn't my life more expensive than your brother's life?"

Ye Jinyi shook his head and said: "You are not qualified to compare with them, but there is a good saying, sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter." I can only save them if I kill you. ”

Chu Zhongyue felt that he still underestimated Ye Jinyi a little, he thought that an emotional animal like Ye Jinyi would inevitably be in chaos because of the danger to Ji Ling and Ren Ziyu's lives, so he walked into the game trap he had formulated, and dealt with himself while saving people.

In this way, not only will she not be able to save people, but she will also die under Chu Zhongyue's knife.

However, this is not the case.

Chu Zhongyue pulled out his knife with his left hand, he looked at his own reflection on the knife, and sneered: "Hehe, that's a good point, sharpening the knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter." ”

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
