Chapter 13 Chapter 13 "I definitely didn't touch my sister"...
At night, Jiang Li was asleep, but for some reason, she felt an unbearable heat all over her body, as if she were in a furnace. The surging heat made her mouth dry.
Her consciousness drifted in and out of consciousness, and between sleep and wakefulness, she clearly felt someone hugging her. She wanted to reach out and push away, but her limbs were too heavy to move.
Waves of heat came over me.
"Hot..." Jiang Li muttered unconsciously. The arms around her seemed to loosen slightly.
"Sister?" Yun Si's voice rang out in the thick night, carrying a sense of illusory reality.
"Hmm?" Jiang Li's response, filled with deep sleepiness, was like a basin of cold water poured on Yun Si's heart.
His body stiffened instantly, and he even held his breath. Seeing that Jiang Li had no further movement, Yun Si finally mustered up the courage to ask softly, "Is Sister awake?"
The person in his arms didn't respond anymore, only his shallow and even breathing remained. Yun Si finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Li didn't wake up...
His heart settled, and he tightened his arms again, holding her closer. A strand of her black hair was still entwined in his fingertips.
An almost inaudible sigh was heard in the darkness.
"Sister is not a good sister. She has learned to scare people..."
That sigh was a mixture of helplessness and lingering fear.
**
When Jiang Li woke up, he felt no less sleepy. Instead, he felt dizzy and his limbs felt heavy. His side was empty; there was no sign of Yun Si.
There was a faint noise outside the house, so he must be outside. Jiang Li dragged her tired body to her feet and pushed open the door. The cool breeze that hit her face cleared her chaotic mind a little.
"Sister, are you awake? It's cold in the morning, why don't you put on more clothes?" Yun Si's voice came.
Jiang Li looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yun Si in the yard, tinkering with something.
She woke up earlier today than the previous few days, and the meal wasn't even cooked yet: "Did you get up this early the other day?"
Yun Si replied, "Yes."
Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully, as if he was not fully awake yet.
After breakfast, Yun Si packed up quickly. While playing around, he pestered her again: "Sister, when are we leaving?"
"Departure for what?"
His eyes darkened: "That's what you said yesterday..."
Seeing how concerned he was, Jiang Li said, "No rush."
"Okay." Yun Si turned his back, looking a little lost.
The vague memory of last night came back, and the warm touch became clearer and clearer. Jiang Li finally became suspicious: "Did you touch me when we slept last night?"
Yun Si was stunned, his mouth slightly opened and he blinked: "What are you talking about, sister? How could I touch you without your permission..."
Jiang Li looked suspicious: "I remember clearly that you hugged me last night and called my name."
Yun Si's smile froze on her face, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Li pursed his lips. She wasn't questioning at all; the suspicion was written all over her face.
Yun Si took a deep breath and smiled: "Sister said I touched her, then just assume it was me who touched her."
Seeing that Jiang Li's expression didn't change, he continued, "Then punish me to sleep somewhere else. Since I can't sleep in the other room, I think it's better to sleep on the floor. This way, I won't disturb my sister's sleep, and I can also prevent her from running into me when I sleep in the future..." "Stop!" Jiang Li couldn't listen any longer. Even the smile on his face became very sad, as if she was deliberately making things difficult for him... She didn't remember clearly. She was indeed not very sober last night. Besides, Yun Si was so obedient on weekdays, so there was no need for him to do this.
"Maybe I had a nightmare." Jiang Li looked at him and added, "It's not a big deal. Even if it's true, it doesn't need to be this serious."
Yun Si always gets to the point: "So, sister, do you mean you don't mind me touching you?"
Jiang Li didn't say anything, but crossed his arms and glanced at him.
Yun Si shut up immediately.
Several days had passed since the last sacrificial ceremony was disrupted, and the news of the five mysterious deaths had caused widespread panic. Some even suggested electing a new Saint to atone for the loss. However, the elders, aware of the circumstances, simply pinned all the blame on the escaped Ximen Yueyao.
Ximen Qiu had been ill and his health had been deteriorating day by day. He had also been implicated in the sacrificial ceremony, and even the witch doctor was unwilling to take care of him. He felt relieved when he heard that Ximen Yueyao had disappeared.
As long as you are not caught, you have a chance to survive.
Ximen Qiu knew that this sacrifice would result in death, but that was his only granddaughter. His son and daughter-in-law would sooner or later be gone, leaving only this one bloodline. At that time, nearly fifty years old, he held the baby girl, less than a year old, feeling only heartache and pity.
As an elder, he had the duty to protect the village, but as a grandfather, he also had the right to protect his granddaughter. He had been lucid for decades, but this time he was confused, causing great disaster.
Resentment, hatred...
Two uninvited guests appeared outside the elders' attic.
Jiang Li poked his head out from behind a tree, then quickly retracted it, not noticing anything unusual.
Yun Si saw this and couldn't help but wonder: "Sister, do we really have to be so sneaky..."
Jiang Li looked at him: "Of course, what else?"
"You have seen my witchcraft, it is very powerful. If anyone dares to stop you, I will..." Before Yun Si could finish his words, Jiang Li blocked his way with his hand.
Jiang Li stretched out his hand to cover hers, but then he immediately retracted his hand, thinking of the time when he licked her. "You said it would consume your essence and blood, how can it harm your body?"
But what I was thinking in my heart was: Silly child, how can I complete the plan if I don’t do this?
After hearing this, Yun Si smiled slightly: "I won't be in the way..."
Jiang Li looked at the silver jewelry on his body and said, "Also, these accessories on your clothes will make noises. What if you get discovered? You have to take them off."
"Don't worry, sister. I won't let them ring."
But Jiang Li was firm in his attitude: "If you don't demolish it, then you are not allowed to follow me in..."
After hearing this, Yun Si immediately compromised: "Okay, I'll tear it down... Sister, don't abandon me."
As he spoke, he began to take off his accessories.
If she wanted to make a fuss, he would just follow her.
Seeing how obedient he was, Jiang Li secretly rejoiced: "I'll help you dismantle it!"
The road from outside to Elder Simon's room was unobstructed.
Yun Si secretly complained, there was clearly no one here...how could they have been discovered?
After entering the room, Jiang Li signaled Yun Si to close the door and went straight to the inner room.
The man on the bed had white hair and was dying. Jiang Li looked at him and said, "How are you, Elder Ximen?"
"Why are you here? Cough cough cough..." Ximen Qiu raised his eyes and looked at her.
"A surprise? A surprise?" Jiang Li approached, looking at you with a look of disdain and provocation.
Ximen Qiu sneered: "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
If it weren't for Yun Si behind him, Jiang Li really wanted to beat up this hypocritical and vicious old man! He was already half dead, why was he still pretending to be respectable here!
Jiang Li was also very good at probing people's hearts, and he asked directly: "Guess where Ximen Yueyao is?"
When his granddaughter was mentioned, Ximen Qiu's eyes immediately focused and he coughed excitedly: "Her! Cough cough cough... What did you do to her!"
"She is a very filial girl." Jiang Li smiled, "But why doesn't such a filial girl come to accompany her grandfather?"
"You! What did you do to Yueyao!" If Ximen Qiu hadn't been unable to bear it any longer, he would definitely have sat up in anger.
"You ask me? I don't know either..." Jiang Li shrugged, raising the corners of his eyebrows.
Ximen Qiu just covered his chest, his vision went black, and he pointed at Jiang Li, unable to speak...
"By the way, the real Saint is Ximen Yueyao, right?"
Ximen Qiu felt a chill all over his body. Given Jiang Li's personality, if he knew about this, how could he let Ximen Yueyao go?
He was heartbroken...his granddaughter!
Seeing his pupils begin to dilate, but his chest still rising and falling with life, Jiang Li added fuel to the fire and sneered at him, "You'll never know her whereabouts until you die, ok?"
The innocent and lovely girl's tone was chilling...
Ximen Xia's mind couldn't help but conjure up this image: Ximen Yueyao was locked up, covered in wounds, starving, and surrounded by the very things she feared most...
The man on the couch suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and Jiang Li quickly took a step back. Then the man kicked his feet and collapsed.
Ximen Qiu is dead. He was angered to death by her.
It's such a relief, but it's a pity that the old man died too easily.
She was careful not to look too vicious or terrifying because Yun Si was still there.
But the moment she turned around, Yun Si stared at her and said, "Sister, you really are tough on the outside but soft on the inside."
Jiang Li was stunned, making sure he had heard correctly.
Soft-hearted? She's soft-hearted?
She glanced at Yun Si, who didn't want to lie, and couldn't help but sigh at the effect of this love Gu, which could actually make people lose the ability to distinguish right from wrong...
Yun Si: "You hate him so much, but in the end, it will only make him die of anger..."
"Of course not!" Jiang Li looked at him and said, "Last time you said you would teach me Miaojiang Gu magic. Can you teach me now?"
"Now?" Yun Si was surprised. "Which one do you want to learn, sister?"
Jiang Li looked at him and said, "Yes, the kind that releases insects that can eat people, leaving only a corpse in the end."
Yun Si was a little conflicted. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to teach, but he simply couldn’t teach in the short term.
Jiang Li noticed the change in his expression and was secretly happy in his heart, feeling that everything was stable.
She deliberately said: "If you don't want to teach, I can do it myself."
"I'm not unwilling. I'll teach you, sister!" Yun Si quickly took out the insect with a smile.
Jiang Li asked knowingly, "Why do you want to use your insect? Mine won't work?"
"My own is easier to use, so I'll try it out first."
Jiang Li nodded: "Okay."
As Yun Si did this, reptiles from all directions immediately crawled in through the cracks in the door and crawled towards the bed.
Jiang Li hardly participated in it.
Seeing this, Yun Si quickly praised: "Sister is really amazing, she succeeded in one try."
Jiang Li responded, "A Si is still the best teacher!"
She knew very well that this witchcraft was clearly cast by Yun Si and had nothing to do with her at all.
It just happened to be what she wanted.
