Chapter 37: maybe i care about you
Two days later.
With no water or food, Tao Jingyi was completely powerless, and lay down on the ground, looking as if he was in a state of vigour.
Biyu stood outside the cell door, staring at her coldly: "Get up, don't pretend to be dead."
Tao Jingyi didn't respond.
The girl standing next to Biyu worried, "Could it be starvation to death?"
"It's only been two days, how can I die like this so easily." Biyu took out the key and opened the lock in disgust.
The girl in green at the side rushed to Tao Jingyi's side, touched her cheek with her hand, and almost jumped up in shock: "It's so hot!"
"What's going on? Let me see." Biyu walked towards Tao Jingyi hesitantly, squatted beside her, and reached out to touch her cheek.
Just when her hand touched Tao Jingyi's face, Tao Jingyi suddenly opened his eyes, and a stern look flashed across his eyes. She shot like lightning, holding Biyu's wrist, and the other hand hidden in her bosom held a golden hairpin, raised it high, and stuck it into the back of Jasper's neck.
Biyu let out an earth-shattering scream, and curled up in pain.
"Don't move around, you will die if you move again." Tao Jingyi pulled her up from the ground and said through gritted teeth.
The golden hairpin was bought from a jewelry store that day, and she kept it close to her body. She waited for two days just to wait for this opportunity. The hairpin was not deep enough to kill Biyu, but if it was any deeper, it would not be guaranteed...
The other girl's face was pale, and she said in horror: "Don't kill Sister Biyu."
"Get out." Tao Jingyi said to Biyu.
Biyu's life was in her hands, so naturally it was what Tao Jingyi said and what she did. As soon as he stepped out of the cell door, a group of guards surrounded him aggressively.
"Don't come here, don't come here at all!" Biyu shrank her neck and screamed with a hideous expression.
Her neck was in excruciating pain, but she didn't dare to struggle for a moment, because when she struggled, the blood flowed even more.
Biyu is Duan Hongying's right-hand man, she was kidnapped, and the other guards did not dare to move around for a while.
"Get out of the way." Tao Jingyi said coldly.
The guards hesitated for a moment, then moved out of the way. Tao Jingyi grabbed Biyu's arm and walked out along the tunnel. As soon as they reached the exit, the girl in green who had been following them turned around and ran away.
Apparently it was to tip off the news.
Tao Jingyi didn't bother to stop her, if she didn't go, there were others.
The Doll Villa is huge, as long as she walks out of the dungeon, she has a certain chance of escaping.
Tao Jingyi grabbed Biyu and walked a few steps. When she came to a fluffy ground, she rubbed the soil with her toes. Feeling that it was almost done, she pushed Biyu out suddenly. At the same time, she kicked the dust hard with her toes. Go out and hit all the guards in the face.
Tao Jingyi took this opportunity to dodge and hide in the rocks behind him.
The rocks of the Puppet Villa are connected to each other, and entering it is like entering a maze. Tao Jingyi turned left and right inside, and the guards who chased him couldn't catch up for a while.
But after all, she didn't eat or drink for two days, and she fell ill again, her strength couldn't keep up, and it didn't take long before she was out of breath.
No, I have to find a way to distract these guards.
She ran for a while, found an exit, and walked out.
A blue lake appeared in the field of vision, the water of the lake was dark green, with a few broken lotus leaves floating on it. Tao Jingyi picked up a stone and threw it into the lake. With a "gudong", the stone sank.
Judging from the sound and color, the lake is very deep, and it will take a lot of time to go down and salvage it.
She glanced away and landed on a stone. The stone required her to hold it with both hands. She took off her outer robe, wrapped it around the stone, stood on the shore, and threw the stone into the lake with all her might.
A loud "crash" immediately attracted the attention of the guards, and the guards ran towards this side one after another. Tao Jingyi dodged behind the rocks and ran along the narrow path.
"In the lake." Someone caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing that was slowly sinking.
Duan Feibai who was chasing after him also saw it.
It was a scarlet skirt. Tao Jingyi was wearing a crimson dress when he went out that day, bright red, standing in the sky, smiling, dazzling.
Most of the clothes she wears on weekdays are light-colored clothes, but that day she suddenly wore a crimson dress for some reason. The moment the scarlet figure came into Duan Feibai's sight, his heart skipped a beat.
Thinking of this, Duan Feibai immediately jumped into the water to catch the crimson shadow in the emerald green waves.
He remembered that Tao Jingyi couldn't swim.
"Young master!" The maidservant on the shore screamed repeatedly.
After a while, Duan Feibai emerged from the bottom of the water, holding a crimson outer garment in his hand.
Only clothes, no one.
The guards and maidservants on the shore looked at each other in blank dismay.
They didn't know that Duan Feibai's face hidden under the mask was terribly cold at the moment.
When he saw the crimson shadow in the water, his eyes went dark for a moment, and he jumped down without thinking about anything. Chasing the gradually sinking crimson shadow to the bottom of the lake, only to find that there is a big rock wrapped under the clothes.
Duan Feibai instantly understood that Tao Jingyi had tricked him.
While Duan Feibai was angry, he also breathed a sigh of relief. When he realized that his reaction was different from usual, his face suddenly became extremely cold.
At that moment just now, he was worried about Tao Jingyi, especially when the crimson cloth slipped out of his hands, his heart was full of fear.
What is he afraid of?
He was afraid that he would lose Tao Jingyi.
Duan Feibai suddenly found the answer, and it was precisely because of this answer that his face became extremely ugly.
Just as Duan Feibai was paddling the water to swim to the shore, not far away, thick smoke billowed into the sky, accompanied by bright yellow flames.
"Oops, it's flooded, it's in the direction of Liuyun Pavilion!" Someone exclaimed.
Liuyun Pavilion is the place where doll materials are placed in the Puppet Villa, so Tao Jingyi naturally set the fire.
The so-called doll materials are actually living people.
The method used by Doll Villa to make dolls is extremely cruel. First of all, they need to select doll materials with good physique, then soak them in special medicinal soup, supplemented by acupuncture, and turn living people into unconscious, combat-explosive figures. puppet.
There is no difference between a puppet and a dead person. The only difference is that the puppet will obey the master's orders. Once these high-level puppets are concocted, they can fight without being pulled by puppet strings. They don't need to eat or drink, they don't feel pain, and they don't bleed. They are the best weapons.
And those that need to be manipulated with puppet strings and Gu insects are all low-level puppets, these puppets are disposable, and they are thrown away after use. On the day of the siege of the Flower God Sect, Young Master Gui manipulated the corpses at the scene, using low-level puppets.
The method of controlling the low-level puppet is also very simple. You only need to release the special Gu worms made by the puppet villa.
Tao Jingyi ran around in the doll villa, and ran into Liuyun Pavilion by mistake. Liuyun Pavilion is a forbidden area of the Puppet Villa, and no one approaches it at ordinary times. After knocking out the guards, she turned in through the window and was shocked when she saw the doll materials in the room.
There are men and women among them, all of them are completely naked, and their acupoints are full of silver needles. Tao Jingyi sniffed at them, but none of them survived.
Since they are already dead, if they are released, they will follow Duan Hongying to commit crimes in the future, so it is better to set them on fire.
Doing what he said, Tao Jingyi picked up the oil lamp next to him, poured all the lamp oil on the ground, and finally threw the lamp on the ground. The moment the flames came into contact with the lamp oil, the flames swept Liuyun Pavilion.
Tao Jingyi took advantage of the chaos and ran out of Liuyun Pavilion.
***
Everyone in the Puppet Villa ran to Liuyun Pavilion to put out the fire.
There are high-quality doll materials in Liuyun Pavilion. These materials are concocted by Duan Hongying with great painstaking efforts. If they are damaged, many people will suffer bad luck.
This made it easier for Tao Jingyi to escape.
She ran on a path where no one was around, and after making a few turns, a moon arch appeared in front of her eyes.
After running for so long, a door finally appeared. Tao Jingyi was overjoyed, and immediately ran towards the Moon Arch Gate. Just as she was about to pass through, a whip shadow slapped over: "Bold slave, I saw Zhuang!" The Lord is not polite!"
In order to escape, Tao Jingyi suffered a few whips from Biyu before, grinning his teeth in pain, but now he won't suffer any more, so he dodges immediately and looks towards the source of the sound.
Looking at this, I couldn't help but take a breath.
It turned out that there were several figures standing in the corridor, and the one standing in the front was a woman in red, about thirty or forty years old, with beautiful features.
There was a hint of evil spirit in the raised eye corners.
Where she was standing, a clump of emerald green bamboo was planted. The shadows of the bamboo were mottled, covering most of her figure. Tao Jingyi was so busy running away that he didn't notice it for a while.
Although Tao Jingyi had never seen this woman before, she was called the "Villa Master" in the Puppet Villa, and she was dressed like this, so who else could there be except Duan Hongying.
Duan Hongying, Duan Feibai's aunt in the original book, fell in love with the owner of the Doll Villa when she was young, and ran away in anger because of her family's opposition. After the proprietor's accidental death, she took over the Puppet Villa. Under the baptism of blood and rain, she used cruel means to eliminate dissidents, took all the power of the Puppet Villa into her hands, and became the new proprietor.
After hearing about Duan's murder, Duan Hongying returned to Meilin, seeing her childhood home burnt to the ground, leaving only scars and scars, she felt pain and hatred.
Using the resources of the Doll Villa, Duan Hongying spent several years investigating the murderer, and finally found clues.
After that, she found Duan Feibai, the only remaining blood of the Duan family, and used the method of controlling puppets in the Doll Villa to unlock the golden needle that blocked her memory.
After Duan Feibai's memory recovered, the aunt and nephew jointly launched a cruel revenge.
Speaking of it, this Duan Hongying is more terrifying than Duan Feibai.
Duan Feibai grew up in Tianshan, and he still has kind thoughts in his heart after taking off the ghost mask.
Duan Hongying, on the other hand, completely disregards right from wrong. She is cruel and ruthless. Later, she is no longer satisfied with simple revenge, but ambitious to rule the world.
Indiscriminate killing of innocents was brought to the extreme in her case.
No matter if it is an unarmed woman or child, or a top Jianghu master, they cannot escape her cruel methods.
Duan Feibai turned against her because he witnessed her gouging out the eyes of an innocent child with his own hands.
In the later stage of the original book, the relationship between Duan Feibai and Duan Hongying became worse and worse. In the end, Duan Feibai let go of his hatred, killed his relatives righteously, and killed Duan Hongying, finally ending the **** storm caused by him and Duan Hongying.
The only remaining relative died in his hands, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Duan Feibai's heart was ashes, and after crushing Su Xiyan's doll to ashes, he committed suicide at the top of Tianshan Mountain.
Since then, the world has opened a new chapter, and the new protagonist is naturally the male second Dongfang Yue who has been fighting with Duan Feibai for half his life.
Thinking of the ending of the protagonist in the original book, Tao Jingyi still couldn't help sighing.
When chasing the book, she liked the role of Duan Feibai precisely because of the complexity of the role. For half of his life, he wandered between good and evil, raised the butcher knife in his hand, and saved the lives of others. The place where he stood was half dark and half bright.
He could have become a demon instantly, but he survived this life.
What a character to love and hate.
But at this moment, without allowing her to think wildly, Duan Hongying glanced over coldly, and said calmly, "Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"
Tao Jingyi's heart immediately rose, his whole body was tense, and his scalp was numb and he said, "I am...I am..."
When she was so anxious that she didn't know how to answer, a hand stretched out from behind and suddenly wrapped her waist. Then, a slightly frivolous familiar voice sounded above the head: "I said I couldn't find it everywhere, so it's here."
Tao Jingyi was stunned, raised his eyes, and met a pair of eyes that were like a spring breeze, and there was a faint smile in those eyes.
When she looked at him, her eyes blinked without a trace.
Tao Jingyi was stunned.
