"Niannian, is Sisi back?" Aunt Pei's anxious voice came from the carved door.
Li Nian was startled when Aunt Pei ran in with an anxious look on her face, and said hurriedly, "She hasn't come back yet."
She walked towards Aunt Pei nervously and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Oh, what should I do? Sisi went to look for Baiying yesterday, but she didn't come back all night!" Aunt Pei was so worried that her breathing became irregular. "I thought she might come back to look for you, but she didn't come back, and we can't find Baiying either. I'm afraid something must have happened to her! Oh, God! Sisi is such a good girl, please don't let anything happen to her!"
Xiao Yunyu keenly noticed a familiar name: 'Sisi'? Wasn't that his sister-in-law's nickname?
Thinking about the fact that Li Sisi suddenly died a few days after Li Nian’s death, Xiao Yunchen said that she left a will, was it a suicide for love?
Xiao Yunyu was stunned for a long time. When he came to his senses, he chuckled in disbelief.
What a huge conspiracy. What life-saving grace? What pledge of one's life? What voluntary continuation of the incense?
Oh, so that's how it is. She went to great lengths to marry him, then faked her own death, and in the end, the two of them eloped?!
————
The wall of the dilapidated courtyard was extremely high, so high that even two adults stacked on top of each other might not be able to climb over it.
The walls of the house were covered with mottled and falling marks, and the windows were nailed shut with wooden boards. Even a hand could not be stretched out through the remaining gaps.
Li Sisi slowly woke up on the narrow wooden bed in the house.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a woman tied to a tall stool, with one of her bare feet being lifted by a tall and strong man and placed on the edge of the bed.
Looking up from her feet, the woman had her mouth stuffed with burlap, which made her cheeks puff up and turn red. Her eyes were wide open, and there was only fear in her pupils.
"Oh, another one is awake!" The man looked at Li Sisi excitedly with his mung bean-sized eyes, and his thick lips showed his uneven teeth when he smiled.
"Hey, you're so pretty, come with me and listen to some music and watch some opera."
Li Sisi's mind was still a little confused after she woke up from being knocked unconscious. Because of the angle, the woman's feet were magnified in her pupils. A big hand holding a serrated dagger was close to the woman's thumb, pulling it left and right, and sawing it.
Blood was gushing out of the wound on the thumb, dripping along the toes and onto the bed sheet, and the pupils were full of bright red.
The woman's feet kept struggling, but were held down tightly by the man.
Li Sisi wanted to scream, but suddenly found that his mouth seemed to be blocked and he could not make any sound!
She wanted to sit up, but her hands were numb and painful on her back, and even her feet were tied. She lay sideways on the bed and couldn't get up at all!
The woman's toes were sawed off until only a bit of flesh was left attached. The man got a bowl of water from somewhere and poured it on the woman's feet.
The blood was washed away, revealing the white bones.
The man pulled the woman's feet close to Li Sisi's eyes and proudly introduced them: "Look, there are no bones here!"
He began to saw the woman's ankle again. The woman struggled frantically and finally fell over with the stool.
The man angrily grabbed the woman's hair, swearing at her, untied her from the chair, and dragged her out.
Li Sisi was shocked and panicked, and even suspected that she was dreaming. She remembered that she met Wang Yi's cousin in a teahouse, drank tea with her cousin, and exchanged a few words. What happened next?
I don't remember.
So, it was Wang Yi's cousin who brought her here?
However, she had no grudge against Wang Yi's cousin, and they had never spoken more than three sentences to each other. Why would she want to harm herself?
Or was he dreaming? After all, the man's actions just now were not at all normal.
[System, what's the situation now? ]
[The system has no right to interfere with the host's environment. Please solve the current dilemma by yourself.]
Li Sisi became even more panicked, which meant that this was not a dream, it was real!
[System, exchange a sharp dagger for me] Now she is the only one in the room, I must take the opportunity to untie myself before I have a chance to escape.
[Host exchanges for a dagger, eliminating 10 points]
Li Sisi suddenly felt a heaviness in her hand, and a cold dagger was held in her hand.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded outside the house: "Cousin, do you think Bai Ying has arrived yet?"
"Not so fast. The middleman has to check several times, which definitely wastes some time."
The two of them talked and walked into the house together.
Li Sisi's eyes widened in shock.
Why is Wang Yi here?
Wang Yi saw Li Sisi's shocked expression and said with a smile, "Miss Sisi, why are you so surprised?"
He looked at the woman beside him and said in a reproachful tone, "Miss Sisi has such a beautiful face, and you stuffed it with such a rag. It's really not pretty. If Brother Gao sees it and arouses his interest, it will be troublesome."
Wang Yi's cousin's face turned pale. She quickly came over and helped Li Sisi pull the cloth out of her mouth, saying, "Cousin, you're right. I didn't think it through."
After the rag was taken out of Li Sisi's mouth, her cheeks began to ache instead of being used to it. She puffed out her cheeks in an attempt to ease the uncomfortable feeling.
Wang Yi stared at Li Sisi without blinking. Seeing her like this, he smiled and said, "No wonder Lord Pei likes you so much. Your lovely appearance is really lovable."
Li Sisi's puffy cheeks suddenly stopped, and she looked at him in disbelief: "Wang Yi, you and I have no grudges against each other, why are you trying to harm me?"
Wang Yi reached out and pulled over the stool where the woman had just been tied up. He sat on it without paying any attention to the bloodstains remaining on it, and shook his head and sighed.
"Miss Sisi, this is not my fault! Who told you to be so nosy? Bai Ying is enjoying herself, but you insisted on looking for her."
"And Old Man Wang and his family are also because of you. Otherwise, the two old men could have hidden in Dong'an City for two years without being discovered. But your appearance disrupted all their plans. My master is very angry! So I had no choice but to give you to him to appease him!"
At this moment, the tall man walked in and looked at Wang Yi: "That little beauty just now is dead, give me a new one."
The tone was so casual, as if to say, I've finished my meal, please get me another one.
