A Sea of Fire
It was precisely that scar that made Mei Xiang 'er feel that she and Ji Yunshu were the same!
She roared madly.
"We are the same!"
Her tone was bordering on insanity and perversion!
She leaned over and whispered into Ji Yunshu's ear, "Look at the scar on your face, then look at the scar on my body, then look at my big brother. We are the same. We are destined to stand in the same camp."
"Mei Xiang 'er, don't repeat your mistakes. Don't make it so that you can't turn back."
"I can't turn back anymore!"
Mei Xiang 'er was abnormally excited as if she had inhaled poppy. She pinched Ji Yunshu's chin from behind.
"As long as you promise not to investigate this matter again, I can help you. I can help you find a very exquisite skin and replace the one on your face. How about it? How about it? Just promise me. "
Although her chin was pinched until it turned red, Ji Yunshu still had a stubborn expression.
She asked in a hoarse voice, "Mei Xiang 'er, do you know why your mother skinned you and not others?"
"Why?"
"Because in her heart, there was still a bit of conscience. She would rather you hate her for the rest of your life. She would rather be sad and sad for the rest of her life. She would rather you hate her for the rest of your life. She would rather be sad for the rest of her life than to skin others and let their parents suffer the same pain that she did. In the end, she could only carry her regret and that belief with her until the moment she died. But she did not expect that because of her one wrong step, you would actually walk on the path that she did not want to walk and become a sinner whose hands are stained with blood.
"No! Don't say anymore! "Mei Xiang 'er's fingers tightened.
She lifted Ji Yunshu's face up high.
"Nonsense! From the beginning, my mother wanted to skin others and replace them with my big brother's skin, but she didn't dare. Fine! Since she didn't dare, I will fulfill her last wish. I will help her and help my big brother. I will let my big brother become a completely ordinary person. "
"Mei Xiang 'er, don't lie to yourself. In this world, there is no such thing as skin replacement."
This isn't the modern era. There is no skin grafting!
Unfortunately …
Mei Xiang 'er resisted. She flung her hand away from Ji Yunshu's chin.
"Miss Ji, don't waste your time. I know you want to persuade me, but it's useless."
As she spoke, she picked up the oil lamp from the table and brought it closer to Ji Yunshu. Under the candlelight, the scar looked like it was dripping with wax.
Mei Xiang 'er revealed a regretful expression. "Your face is so beautiful. How many women in this world can't compare to you? However, this scar has ruined you. Why does God treat us like this? You want us to live in inferiority and never be able to raise our heads? "
Ji Yunshu knew that this woman was beyond redemption!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves and orderly footsteps came from the wooden planks above their heads!
So —
This was a basement!
Well hidden!
Mei Xiang 'er's expression tensed up. She raised her head and looked outside. She seemed to know what was happening outside!
Then, with a creaking sound, a small hole appeared on the wooden board above their heads, and an old voice sounded.
"Xiang-er, those people have already surrounded the courtyard."
He was very calm!
Ji Yunshu could tell that he was Mei Xiang 'er's older brother.
Mei Xiang 'er smiled and said to the small hole, "Big Brother, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, we will always be together."
"Yes, we will definitely be together."
It was very strange and gloomy!
Soon after, the small hole was closed.
'Did Jing Rong bring the people outside?'
Ji Yunshu struggled a few times, but to no avail. She hastily said to Mei Xiang 'er, "Stop! You can't escape!"
Mei Xiang 'er was very calm.
She took out a piece of cloth, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into Ji Yunshu's mouth.
"Ugh!"
Ji Yunshu shook her head, but her body didn't stop struggling.
As for Mei Xiang 'er, she raised the oil lamp in her hand and slowly retreated. A faint smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth.
It was incomparably beautiful!
"Miss Ji, let God decide. Let's see whether God wants you to live or die."
"Huh?"
Ji Yunshu's bloodshot eyes widened as she watched Mei Xiang 'er turn around and climb the ladder. Then, she opened the hole at the top and left the disgusting basement.
Soon after, the sound of wooden boards collapsing could be heard.
Footsteps!
And the rustling of human voices!
Not long after, her sensitive nose picked up the faint smell of smoke.
White smoke gradually permeated the basement from above.
As the sound of collapsing became louder and louder, the faint white smoke turned into thick black smoke.
Although the basement was pitch-black, Ji Yunshu was very clear that her entire body was filled with thick smoke.
Above her, the dilapidated thatched cottage had already turned into a sea of fire.
It seemed that Mei Xiang 'er and her older brother had already decided to die.
They would be together forever!
The thick smoke in the basement choked Ji Yunshu's nose. It was as if someone was strangling her throat, causing her to feel extremely uncomfortable.
Because her mouth was stuffed with something, she couldn't scream. No matter how hard she struggled, the rope binding her body became tighter and tighter.
"Ugh! Cough! "
The thick smoke stung her eyes, and she could only close them tightly.
The feeling of suffocation spread to his throat one by one.
She gradually fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, the footsteps above her head became louder. Someone was shouting, someone was running, and someone was moving things nonstop.
"Shu 'er!"
It was Wei Yi's voice.
"Yunshu!"
It was Jing Rong's voice.
Ji Yunshu could hear it very clearly.
She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were clumsy and she couldn't move her body.
"Ugh …"
She couldn't answer!
"Shu 'er, where are you? Shu 'er? "Wei Yi's voice continued to ring.
Above her was a sea of fire. 'That idiot Wei Yi must have gone crazy looking for me.'
In Ji Yunshu's dizzy mind, Wei Yi's words suddenly flashed through her mind.
"As long as I hear this bell, I will be able to find you."
"As long as I hear this bell, I will be able to find you."
…
That's right, those were Wei Yi's words.
Ji Yunshu exerted all her strength to move her bound feet.
The bell on his ankle tinkled softly.
Once!
Once!
Once again!
…
She didn't know how long she had lost all her strength, but the thick smoke in her throat made her lose consciousness for a while.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but the pain on her face woke her up.
When she opened her eyes, she discovered that she was lying on an antique bed.
She lifted her clumsy hand, preparing to touch her aching face. But halfway through, someone grabbed her hand and stuffed her back into the quilt.
"Is it painful? Of course it is! If it had been half an incense stick later, your face would have been beyond saving. "
An unfamiliar voice drifted into her ears.
She looked to the side and faintly saw a man standing beside the bed.
"Who … are you?"
"Mo Ruo!"
