Chapter 27 Comb the bones(1/2)
The moment he approached, the woman's face was completely exposed to Su Jingnian's eyes without the cover of the mist.
Yu Xiulan was in the dark for a long time, and was carefully hiding in the depths, waiting for Su Jingnian to arrive.
The depth of the cave is not airtight and cannot see the sun, but there is a gap where light can penetrate the cracks of the rocks, adding a thread of light to the dark cave.
Just when she thought Su Jingnian would not come, footsteps came from outside the cave.
She was nervous and scared, and secretly excited.
Through the mist, she couldn't see it very clearly. When she heard Su Jingnian's figure entering the water, she felt timid again.
Su Jingnian's method of punishing Ding made her frightened even by memories.
But Chi Xi's words made her decide to make a bet alone in the end.
Cao could not tolerate her, so she had already liked a family.
The man was a cripple man, now in his forties, still not married, and his family was very poor.
She cried to Yu Hongchuan, saying that it was her father after all, and she wanted her to live a good life. Cao only said one thing, she was not a bad girl, and other men would be picky. If this matter was exposed, it would be even more a blow to the stormy Yu family. They would have no shame to see people in the village.
Yu Hongchuan acknowledged the Cao family's arrangement.
Yu Xiulan is really desperate. She would be better than die than marrying such a useless man!
Both sides and vertically, if she wins the bet, there may be a glimmer of hope.
She plucked up her courage, took a deep breath, and rushed over.
Su Jingnian’s misunderstanding made her see a greater chance of winning!
As her neck tightened, a suffocation surged. Yu Xiulan had difficulty breathing, her mind was blank, and all the calculations were all gone. She struggled and kicked, but the shackles on her neck did not loosen up at all, but tightened as she moved.
Yu Xiulan was about to suffocate, grabbed Su Jingnian's hand and squeezed out a sentence from her mouth with difficulty, "Gu Yunniang will come later, look at my body...ah..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Jingnian threw himself out, hit the stone wall, and fell to the ground.
The severe pain made her Yu Xiulan moan in pain. She lay on the ground, coughed a few times, and felt a heart-wrenching pain on her back. Then, a piece of cloth covered her head, barely covering her spring light.
With a sound of water, Yu Xiulan looked up with a pale face and saw Su Jingnian walking steadily towards her with a robe.
The fear that penetrated her bones made her tremble all over.
"Who told you?"
Su Jingnian's voice was particularly glowing with the cold wind.
Yu Xiulan dared not look directly into his eyes, but still felt a strong murderous aura.
She knew that Su Jing would come here to take a hot spring bath because she got it from Chi Xi's cliché.
"I came with you secretly."
Yu Xiulan weighed it and did not show Chi Xi.
After all, Chi Xi didn't know that she had this thought about Su Jingnian.
The two of them shared the same hatred for Gu Yunniang.
Yu Xiulan knew that she could not survive. The only person in this world who hated Gu Yunniang like her was Chi Xi.
So how could she give Chi Xi and let Su Jingnian get rid of the roots?
Didn’t she suffer for nothing?
"You have been here for several days. My sister-in-law wants to marry me out. I don't like that man, so she will bet on her desperately." Yu Xiulan's eyes were full of regret, almost, just a little bit.
She was too impulsive. If she swam under him little by little and seduced him, maybe she would succeed.
Yu Xiulan lay on the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt a little calm.
Maybe I knew I had lost a long time ago.
There is a dead end.
After living trembling for a few days, I feel relaxed now.
Su Jingnian looked at the relief in Yu Xiulan's eyes and sneered coldly, "Want to die?"
Yu Xiulan suddenly felt excited and a bad premonition broke out in her heart.
Sure enough, Su Jingnian sneered, "I will never have eyes in this life, but it is in my hands. If you are so happy that you will die and be so blind in the next life, wouldn't it be a waste of time? I will let you teach you how to be a human being and know some self-knowledge."
Yu Xiulan shivered and shivered.
Before she could react, Su Jingnian put her fingers into her mouth and blew a whistle. In an instant, a black shadow man appeared in the cave.
"Ding's skin is cut alive, so she will just combed her bones!"
Su Jingnian was in a bad mood and left with a gloomy expression.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, he saw Gu Yunniang climbing up panting, bent over, supported her hands on her knees, forehead, and nose covered with tiny beads of sweat.
Su Jingnian's expression slowed down, and the ice in her eyes melted into water, "Didn't you have something to do? Why did you come at this time?"
Gu Yunniang frowned, "Didn't you send someone to call me over?" she muttered in a low voice: "This mountain is too high, I'm exhausted to climb up! I took a few breaths before climbing up, and you were about to leave. Didn't Yun Mu say it would take half an hour? It's only two quarters of an hour now?"
Su Jingnian thought of the people in the cave, and her eyes covered with haze were covered with frost.
"Are you too bored alone? Or are you worried that I will go to the town alone? I finally got up and went in with you to soak." Gu Yunniang held Su Jingnian's arm and pulled him into the cave.
Su Jingnian didn't want her to run into Yu Xiulan, which made her unhappy. She held her palm and walked down the mountain, "I felt uncomfortable when I was taking a hot spring because of drinking. I took a break today." Seeing Gu Yunniang worried, he sighed: "There are wild animals in the mountains that broke into the cave, fell into the hot spring and drowned. The pool was dirty, and I will come back when it was clean."
Gu Yunniang looked at Su Jingnian carefully. He looked very good and finally felt relieved.
"Your purity disease has not been cured yet? How can you stand it when fighting outsiders over the years?" Gu Yunniang couldn't help but joke about him.
Su Jingnian said in a deep voice: "It's different."
Gu Yunniang didn't ask him where the difference was. The basket was stuffed into Su Jingnian's hand. She looked at Su Jingnian who was squatting in front of her with a robe lifted and squatting in front of her, and was slightly surprised.
I can't help but remember when I was a child, she was so scared by Su Jingnian that she fell and injured her leg. She limped when she walked. He didn't like her and pointed at a servant carrying her back.
How could she be willing to let a servant carry it on her back? When someone sees it, it will cause a lot of gossip, and she is even more afraid of being scolded.
Su Jingnian has always been inadequate to patience. Seeing her procrastination, her eyes were red, and she refused to let the servant carry her back. She stared at her fiercely, with threats in her narrow eyes.
She was still young at that time and was afraid that Su Jingnian would hurt her again. Now, regardless of her reputation, she forced her to carry her back to the servant, and she would be punished by her grandmother. All kinds of emotions came and she sat on the ground and cried loudly.
Su Jingnian was most afraid of crying. When someone cried in his ear, he felt dizzy. He said, "Please" and carried her and threw it on his back, scaring her to hold his neck tightly.
After sending her back, he touched the red marks on his neck, "Yes, you are young and still a vengeful person. I kindly carry you back, and you almost strangled me to death, fortunately, because your hands are weak."
Without waiting for her to say anything, he turned around and left.
She was just afraid that Su Jingnian would throw her on the ground and hug her too tightly. She never thought of strangling him to death, and he didn't listen to her explanation before leaving. She felt aggrieved and blamed herself for this. For a long time, Su Jingnian didn't need to ask someone to call her over. She consciously went to his yard and was sent by him.
Now the thin young man has grown into a man who can shelter her from the wind and rain.
Gu Yunniang looked at his broad back and felt mixed feelings, her heart was sour and astringent, and there was a hint of sweetness.
Many years have passed, but now when I recall it, one by one, one by one, one by one, it seems like yesterday.
She lay on his back, a smile filled her eyes.
"Brother Su, actually, you fell in love with me when I was very young, right?" Gu Yunniang leaned into his ear, breathed like orchids, and her warm breath sprayed on the side of his face. Her soft lips seemed to rub against his ears, making Su Jingnian tighten her arms and her eyes dark.
"No."
"Then why do you like to bully me? Zhizhi once said that a man bullies a woman and treats her well, that is to like her." Gu Yunniang believed that Su Jingnian was embarrassed to admit it.
Su Jingnian paused and did not speak.
At that time, she was still a baby, looking cute, and just wanted to bully her and make her cry. Seeing her crying red eyes, like a little rabbit, he felt very comfortable.
But before I knew it, as I grew up, I felt that she was cute in crying, and turned into annoyance and finally dazzling.
Of course, this cannot be said.
Su Jingnian weighed the consequences of telling the truth and misunderstanding with her, and chose to let her misunderstand him as a default.
In the cave, the man in black was waiting for Su Jingnian and Gu Yunniang to go down the mountain, and took Yu Xiulan to take a detour back home. After a few instructions, the guards came in with a few buckets of boiling hot water.
Yu Xiulan was pressed to the ground, and she looked at the steaming boiling water, her eyes full of despair!
She saw with her own eyes how creepy torture it was for Ding to be cut alive, and the combing was even better.
This torture is also called combing. It uses an iron brush to remove skin and flesh over and over, exposing white bones, which is also called combing.
Before the hot water was poured on her, Yu Xiulan was scared to death as she watched someone holding the cold iron brush.
Yu Xiulan had never survived the cruel torture. She poured boiling water on her body and woke up from the scalding. She cried and confessed Chi Xi.
Wei Yin took people to capture Chi Xi, but she had already hidden herself.
Wei Yin went to the main courtyard to report to Su Jingnian.
Su Jingnian sat in front of the bronze mirror, and Gu Yunniang combed his hair.
Wei Yin did not look squinting, stared at the floor in front of him, and said respectfully: "Master, Chi Xi has escaped."
Su Jingnian was not surprised. This matter was instigated by Chi Xi, and she would definitely observe it in secret. When Yu Xiulan was arrested, she would definitely escape after hearing the news.
Chi Xi followed him for a long time. He knew his temperament and forgot his duty before, but Wen Quyan was left behind by relying on her life. Wen Quyan didn't leave much. He was a little tolerant of Chi Xi, so that she had other thoughts and replaced her with delusions.
