The gloomy and pale moonlight enveloped this mountain forest. Except for the occasional movement or two in the grass and the sporadic chirping of birds, the deserted mountain road was quiet.
Wang Xiaotai was carrying a bucket, and taking advantage of the moonlight, she limped and swayed a heavy bucket to the back mountain pool, and poured all the sticky stuff in the bucket into the pool. There was a little carp that swam over after being awakened.
Wang Xiaotai stood by the pond, looking at the stupid little carp that didn't know what was going on, and smiled slightly, "Drink, I heard that this is a rare good thing for you."
A mouthful of dragon blood lasts five hundred years, and a mouthful of dragon meat lasts a thousand years.
Tonight, she had a chance with this fish.
Wang Xiaotai leaned down and touched the head of the little carp that boldly came to the edge of the pond in front of her, then turned around and left with the bucket.
Behind him, the little carp floated on the water, looking at Wang Xiaomo's back as she left alone in the night, watching her merge into the darkness. The little carp looked at her back for a long time, until it lost sight of it and was still looking at the direction she was leaving. , watching, the little carp sank to the bottom of the water and spit out a few bubbles.
Wang Xiaotai returned to the room, soaked the rag, knelt on the floor and wiped the blood in the room inch by inch. As she wiped, she found a dusty chopstick in the corner of the room.
Wang Xiaotai pursed her lips and looked at the chopsticks in her hand.
It turns out that Ao Shun did not hide the chopsticks. It seemed that he accidentally knocked them down when the two of them were hugging each other and joking.
She didn't cry or speak, she just slowly and carefully wiped the blood-stained chopsticks clean, inserted them into her hair, and continued to kneel on the ground with her head lowered, wiping the blood stains all over the room inch by inch.
If it doesn’t come out clean, do it a second time. If it doesn’t come out clean after the second time, do it a third time or a fourth time.
Until the blood stains gradually fade, until the blood stains gradually disappear.
After cleaning up, Wang Xiaomai found all the food in the house, put the long-lasting food into the storage ring, and then made all the ingredients that could not be stored into dishes, including a dish of braised pork.
Wang Xiaotao picked up a piece of braised pork with an expressionless expression.
There is no difference from what Changsheng gave him before.
Wang Xiaotai carefully chewed the piece of meat in her mouth that was always chewy. After chewing it until there was no taste anymore, she swallowed the piece of meat with difficulty.
Then he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the second piece of braised pork.
She filled a clean, transparent bottle in the kitchen with stones and threw it into the back mountain.
That was the transformation class potion she stole. She still remembered that when all the naughty classmates turned into pigs in class, the teacher used this pink potion, and everyone could only live like pigs. a few days.
The potion didn't have much of a smell, but she was still worried that Ao Shun would be defensive, so she specially made braised pork with thick oily red sauce to cover up the smell of the potion. She started adding this potion to the meat a few days ago.
Tonight she poured all the potion into the meal, not a drop was left.
Even when their relationship was at its best and they could hold each other, she did not forget to add medicine to the flesh, just like she never loosened Ao Shun's ties, and even secretly tightened the knot again at night after Ao Shun fell asleep.
This is the limit of what she can do.
Wang Xiaotai buried her head in eating the rice and meat in the bowl. The amount of food was far beyond her limit, but she kept eating and filling her mouth with food as if it was her last meal. Work hard to eat these meals to fill your stomach and replenish your physical strength.
The quiet life is over, and the great escape may be about to begin.
She needs enough physical strength.
After eating all the food, Wang Xiaotai washed the rice bowls and pots cleanly, took the time to sweep the floor, and closed the windows.
She left a note for Li Jiutuan, saying that she had gone down the mountain to relax and didn't know when she would be back.
She said sincerely in the letter that she had regarded the Old Mother Palace as her home, and could she leave a place in the Old Mother Palace so that if one day she could no longer stay outside, she would still have a home to return to? Not too pitiful or homeless.
She knew that after Li Jiutuan saw this note, he would definitely help her keep this courtyard, and even keep the formation to protect the courtyard. Then as long as the formation of the Old Mother Palace was not broken, no one would ever find out that a dragon died here.
But she couldn't guarantee that Li Jiutuan wouldn't come in and take a look. If someone discovered what happened in this yard...
That was the end of her.
Wang Xiaotai looked around the entire yard, confirming that everything was clean at least on the surface, and then closed the door.
It was getting bright early today, and Wang Xiaomo was walking under the stars. She still had one last thing to finish.
Wang Xiaotai knocked on the door, and the person inside quickly came out to answer the door, "What's going on today..."
The woman in green opened the door. She frowned. The little girl in front of her was in a very bad mental state and looked haggard as if she hadn't slept all night. "What's wrong with you?"
"I have buried the bloody dragon scales near your yard this morning." Wang Xiaomo's eyes were completely dark, "Tell me who killed Bai Lian, and I will dig out all these dragon scales and take them away." of."
"You know, the Dragon Clan will fight until death."
"You don't want others to find you hiding here, right?"
This woman had extraordinary abilities in prophecy and divination, but she lived in the back of Lishan Mountain, unable to leave even an inch. She didn't see anyone come to her except Wang Xiaotai herself.
Wang Xiaotai believes that she lives in anonymous seclusion here. Such a person should not like her whereabouts to be discovered, right?
This is a big gamble, and the worst outcome is that the woman will kill herself.
It doesn't matter anymore, Wang Xiaotai thought, she had already killed a dragon, which was enough.
"You kid..."
"I told you she's not a child anymore!"
In an instant, the green clothes turned into red clothes, and the temperament suddenly became darker.
No longer the dignified and straight look of the woman in green, the woman in red leaned against the door frame and said lazily, "Whose child would force you like this?"
"Kid, don't be nervous. I'm just a warlock. I don't kill anyone. There's no need for you to talk to me while holding a knife."
"Actually, according to destiny, I should have told you what you want to know, but... I didn't want to tell you."
The woman in red sat on the threshold just as she had before nothing happened, waving her hand at Wang Xiaotai.
Wang Xiaotai did not let go of the hand holding the red scale dagger in her sleeve. When she sat down, it involved the wound on her right leg that Ao Shun had poked with chopsticks. Wang Xiaotai pursed her lips, held back the pain, and sat down. Come down.
Although they were sitting on the same threshold, there was some distance between them that was not there before. Wang Xiaotai was sitting with her at a distance that allowed him to take action at any time.
She raised her eyes, and the morning sun shone through the clouds. The light and shadow floated, caressing her face, but never shining into the depths of her eyes. She sat on the threshold and listened quietly to the woman in red.
"Sometimes I feel that I am quite... a bitch," the woman in red straightened her legs and looked at the woods not far away, and said, "I used to be very conceited. I was the best in the world. A sorceress who could observe the stars, know fate, and detect yin and yang. At that time, I felt that there was nothing in the world that I didn’t know. In addition, I was born to know it. I was familiar with the six Yao lines and the eight trigrams. I could understand the sky and geography, and was good at knowing ghosts and gods. Love. I am extremely conceited. I feel that all my calculations are correct. The results of my calculations should be made known to the world. I have to let everyone know how powerful I am."
"I want all the warlocks in the world to worship me as a god!"
When she said this, the woman in red put her hands in front of her and clenched them into fists, as if she was still recalling her high-spirited appearance.
"So even though it was a very inappropriate prophecy, I said it. Even if I knew that this prophecy would overturn the world and turn blood into rivers, I still had to say it. I was right. I should have said it to let them know that I was right. That’s right.”
"Things in the future and the past are like a moon mirror; when a few people are prosperous or a few are in ruins, they are like gods. Knowing the misfortune determines the good fortune, judging the death and talking about life. When you start talking about the wind and rain, the ghosts and gods are astonished when you write."
"This is what a warlock should do."
"Until one day when I was reading fortune tellers, I saw another folk emperor's appearance. There are two emperors' appearances in this world. I should have concealed this matter and told my king, but I didn't. I was so conceited. This emperor's prime minister is made public, and I tell the whole world that this man is also a born emperor."
"But how can there be two kings in a country? The man who I soon recognized as an emperor launched an uprising among the people."
"My prophecy killed my monarch, my relatives, and my homeland. All the familiar and unfamiliar ones were destroyed in front of my eyes. I was made a marquis and prime minister by the new monarch. He He said that he was very grateful to me, that my prophecies encouraged his ambition and built momentum for his uprising, and he asked me to prophesy for the new dynasty."
"He said that I helped him overthrow my own country and that I helped him kill my monarch."
"That's when I realized that even if they were accurate, some prophecies should not be told. If I don't tell them, things might still develop, but I won't be in such pain. I can be with my monarch and my relatives, My country died together."
"Die with honor."
"So I thought, I shouldn't make predictions anymore, I shouldn't read people's fortunes anymore. On the day when the country was broken, I poked my own eyes out."
The woman in red had a casual attitude, sitting lazily under the sun, as if she was just telling other people's stories.
