Chapter 180 Abortion
The powder mixed with water swirled and seeped into my throat.
Narcissus curled up painfully on the hay, seemingly unable to stand or sit, and even rolling around while lying down.
As it rolled, bright red blood seeped from the cotton skirt, filling the cave with a pungent smell of blood.
"Yi Xingyao! You're really going to make my life miserable!"
Shui Xian raised her face, which was completely bloodless, making her eyes appear even more distinctly black and white. Her gaze towards Yi Xingyao was filled with intense pain.
"Show her!"
Yi Xingyao's lips trembled slightly. Regardless of other factors, he was indeed very handsome with rosy lips and white teeth.
Despite being out and about for so long, his lips still had an unnatural, almost blood-red hue.
The doctor had been brought over at the last minute. When he saw that Shui Xian's face looked strange, he broke out in a cold sweat and his legs went weak instantly.
"I...I'm not skilled in treating women's ailments, and besides, I don't even have any herbs..."
The narcissus seemed to be enduring great pain, clutching the dry grass on the ground tightly with her hands, almost tearing the grass apart.
"Quickly... find someone to save me..."
After uttering those words, she was completely exhausted and collapsed onto the hay, her face ashen.
Yi Xingyao picked up the doctor, who had collapsed into a limp heap, with one hand, gave him a few words of advice in a deep voice, and then quickly left the cave.
Before leaving, Yi Xingyao glanced back at Shui Xian, who had fainted in the cave.
Blood had already spread, and the bloodstains on the skirt bloomed sinfully like a mandala.
The porcelain bottle containing the medicinal powder lay askew on the ground beside him, broken into several pieces. There wasn't much powder left inside, clearly most of which had been consumed by Shui Xian.
It's all his fault! But why did she get pregnant with someone else's child?!
Yi Xingyao felt a pang of pain in his heart and could no longer stay there. He fled the cave as fast as he could.
Before leaving, he instructed his bodyguards to guard the cave and prevent Madam Yi from entering!
——
Yi Xingyao has indeed left.
Shui Xian closed her eyes and waited for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but she did not hear Yi Xingyao return.
She had only been pretending to be unconscious, and had overheard Yi Xingyao's instructions to the assassins before he left.
The main task of the assassins now is to keep an eye on Madam Yi and prevent her from entering the cave while Yi Xingyao is away.
They were all outside, and the closest to Narcissus were the assassins guarding the door.
The two people glanced inside every now and then, but they didn't seem to want to come in.
Narcissus tentatively opened her eyes. She took the cloak that Yi Xingyao had used to cushion her sleep last night, then pressed one hand against her stomach and used the cloak to cover her mouth with the other, vomiting up everything she had just drunk.
She hadn't eaten well since yesterday morning, and her stomach was empty except for the medicine.
The thick, dark medicine was absorbed by his cloak, so she rubbed some dirt on the ground and threw it in a corner to cover up the pungent smell.
Narcissus did drink it, but she also knew how to spit it out.
She gently stroked her belly, letting out a soft sigh: "I have no choice but to accept this situation. Be strong, and help your mother..."
After doing all this, Narcissus got up from the haystack, supporting her back.
Yi Xingyao went crazy early in the morning and suddenly made her drink medicine. Shui Xian was not adequately prepared, let alone having only arrived at this cave the night before.
Everything happened in a way that Shui Xian hadn't expected. It wasn't a good time to run away, but Shui Xian knew that if she didn't run now, who knew what crazy things that madman Yi Xingyao would do.
As for the blood on the hem of the skirt...
Narcissus frowned and tore off a piece of the lining of her dress, using it to roughly bandage her cut inner thigh.
While we were rolling around, everything was in disarray, and the light in the cave was poor.
Narcissus then grabbed a shard of the porcelain bottle that had just contained the abortion pills and, with a heavy heart, cut her inner thigh.
She bled more than she had imagined, which inadvertently resulted in her bloodless, pale face.
After bandaging her wound, Narcissus attempted to venture deeper into the cave.
Before leaving, she even piled up the hay into the approximate shape of her own body, and from a distance, it really did look like a person.
One exit is guarded by assassins and Madam Yi; perhaps, on the other side, there's a glimmer of hope...
Faced with such a dangerous situation, especially one caused by Yi Xingyao's sudden outburst and lack of timely preparation, Shui Xian had no time to panic. She could only force herself to calm down.
However, this cave was chosen by the experienced Yi Xingyao and his team, and for better defense, they specifically chose one with only one exit.
Helpless, Narcissus could only grope in the dark inside the cave, searching for a possible exit...
......
Outside the cave.
Although Madam Yi was Yi Xingyao's mother, all the assassins were trained by Yi Xingyao himself in the army.
She tried to reason with him and appeal to his emotions, using the argument that the existence of the daffodils was hindering Yi Xingyao's future, in an attempt to persuade the assassins guarding the cave entrance.
But the reason why suicide soldiers are called suicide soldiers is precisely because they are extremely loyal.
The assassins weren't oblivious to Madam Yi's meaning; perhaps they didn't understand why Yi Xingyao couldn't do without Shui Xian.
But they would not question their master's decision. No matter how much Madam Yi tried to persuade them, they stood like silent walls in front of the cave, guarding the entrance and preventing Madam Yi from entering.
Little did they know that their entanglement with Madam Yi had given the narcissus in the cave an opportunity to take advantage of them.
finally.
One of the assassins sensed something was wrong.
When he looked into the cave for what seemed like the umpteenth time, all he saw was that figure lying face down on the haystack.
But he raised an eyebrow and noticed something was wrong.
The shapes that were just randomly piled up can't be examined closely.
Coincidentally, this assassin enjoyed chopping up corpses in his spare time and was quite knowledgeable about human anatomy.
"I'll go in and take a look."
The assassin, gripping the hilt of his sword, walked into the cave.
There was no light in the cave, and they did not light any lamps in order to avoid being discovered.
The assassin held a tinderbox, but the flame was too weak, only illuminating a small space.
He approached the haystack, and when he saw that the prone "human figure" was actually just a pile of hay, the assassin's pupils contracted in the darkness.
"wrong.
Before he could finish speaking, a stone suddenly struck the back of his head.
With a muffled thud, Narcissus watched as the young man fell face down.
His body happened to fall onto the haystack, which was not part of Narcissus's plan, but it conveniently reduced the sound of him falling.
call.
Narcissus blew out the tinderbox as quickly as possible; she didn't check on the young assassin's condition.
She can barely take care of herself, let alone care about others.
Darkness returned to the cave, and Narcissus's hand, clutching the stone, trembled.
In the darkness, she could clearly feel the sticky blood on her fingers—it was the young assassin's.
She killed...
Narcissus held her breath; she couldn't think about it.
The people around Yi Xingyao were not incompetent. Although Shui Xian was already very light, she had still tried to knock out the assassin who had come in earlier.
That strike used almost all of Narcissus's strength.
Upon hearing the muffled sound, the assassin at the cave entrance gave a look to the person next to him, signaling him to protect Madam Yi, and then whispered into the cave.
"Yi Ba Liu, what's wrong?"
The day they became suicide soldiers, they only had code names, not real names.
No matter who they were before, the day they became Yi Xingyao's assassins, they were merely his tools, just a human life that could be sacrificed at any time.
The mountain wind whistled through the trees.
Apart from that, everything was quiet.
The assassin at the entrance vaguely sensed something was wrong. He made a few hand gestures to the few remaining assassins around him, and then walked into the cave alone.
Walking to the haystack, he used a tinderbox to see Yi Baliu lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance. The back of his head was a blur, and the blood seeping out stained the hay below.
Upon seeing Yi Ba Liu's miserable state, the first thing this newly arrived assassin did not check on Yi Ba Liu's condition, but instead quickly checked on Shui Xian, who was unconscious on a haystack not far away.
He reached out and checked Narcissus's breath, and only after confirming that she was still breathing did he breathe a sigh of relief.
These past few days, he had noticed how much Yi Xingyao cared about Shui Xian.
If something really happens to Narcissus, they won't be able to live either.
Sudden.
By the faint light of the tinderbox, he met the narcissus's clear, black and white eyes.
How could this be!
The thought had barely crossed his mind when blood began to flow from his temple.
Even the most astute assassin can't resist instinctive reactions.
He unconsciously raised his hand and gently touched his temple. The moment he saw the bloodstains on his fingers, his grip loosened.
The tinderbox fell to the ground, and unlike the one brought in by the previous assassin, this one landed right on the dry grass.
That spot was exactly where Narcissus had been gripping the stone tightly, hiding her hand in the hay.
The flames shot up with a "whoosh," tearing a warm yellow halo through the darkness and illuminating Narcissus's face, which was covered in cold sweat.
She actually solved two of them just like that.
Narcissus herself never expected that the first thing that happened was that she suddenly had an inspiration to hide in the dark and launch a surprise attack when people came in to check the haystack.
After the first person fell to the ground, Narcissus looked at the spot where the person had fallen, not far from the dry grass.
She didn't know what she was thinking, but she quickly broke up the pile of hay that had been shaped like a human figure and lay down in the same spot where it had started.
No one would be wary of a person in a coma, Narcissus thought.
But she never expected... that her plan would actually succeed!
Flames shot into the sky, illuminating the cave.
Madam Yi caught a glimpse of that light out of the corner of her eye and subconsciously looked towards the direction of the cave.
What she saw was Narcissus's clear-eyed gaze.
That vile servant girl!
Madam Yi immediately roared at the remaining assassins beside her, "You bunch of useless trash! Kill that vile servant girl!"
