Shi Wu was kissed to the point of being breathless, and his fingers tightly clenched A Ying's clothes.
The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window shines through the window lattice onto the overlapping figures of the two people.
She suddenly realized that Aying's body temperature was abnormally hot.
"Do you have a fever?" She hurriedly pushed him away and put her palm against his forehead, which was indeed burning hot.
Ah Ying grabbed her wrist and said in a hoarse voice, "The orc's wound will heal itself through fever, don't worry."
As he said this, he pulled her back into his arms. The wolf tail had wrapped around her waist without her knowing, and the fur gently rubbed the skin on her lower back.
Shi Wu was about to say something when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the yard.
"Xiao Wu, something bad has happened!" Wang Lingyu's voice came from outside the door.
As she spoke, she knocked hard on Shi Wu's door.
"Your sister was kidnapped by a groom. That madman said he would make her swallow a thousand needles!"
"What should I do?!"
Shi Wu quickly tidied his clothes and then walked over to open the door.
"Mom, what is going on?" she asked in surprise.
"Oh..." Wang Lingyu originally wanted to help Shi Jiao hide it, but given the current situation, she had to tell it.
"Your sister is so foolish. She secretly married that groom. This is the note he left behind..."
As she spoke, Wang Lingyu spread out the crumpled paper and handed it to Shi Wu to read.
It was left by the groom.
It clearly records the process of his love with Shi Jiao and how Shi Jiao betrayed him. The last sentence was to ask the Shi family to prepare twenty gold bars, otherwise they would wait to collect Shi Jiao's body.
"Does father know about this?" Shi Wu asked worriedly.
Wang Lingyu shook her head.
"Your father hasn't come back yet. You must not let him know about this. He's already mad enough because neither of you two came to propose marriage for the Flower Festival."
"If he knew that Jiaojiao and the groom had secretly decided to spend their lives together, Jiaojiao would have her legs broken even if she came back..."
"Xiao Wu, what do you think we should do now?"
As Wang Lingyu spoke, tears streamed down her face.
"No matter what, my sister's life is at stake. Swallowing a thousand needles is no joke..."
"But I spent so much gold on the black market to save my sister last time. Do you still have ten gold bars on hand?" Shi Wu asked curiously.
Wang Lingyu's eyes dodged, and then she clapped her hands on her thighs and sighed.
"Jiaojiao must have told the groom that I prepared ten gold bars for her as a dowry."
"Otherwise, why would he just ask for ten gold bars?"
"It really makes me angry."
Wang Lingyu really regrets now that she did not stop Shi Jiao and the groom when she found out about them being together.
She thought the groom was weak in character and didn't seem like someone who could handle things.
Shi Jiao was at the age of falling in love for the first time, and she was afraid that the more she persuaded Shi Jiao, the more rebellious she would become, so she just let her do it.
But I didn't expect it to turn out like this.
There is no other way now, I can only take the ten gold bars and go to exchange them with the address on the note.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the address left by the coachman.
A very old house.
This house is very close to the black market. Everyone around it has moved away and it looks very desolate.
"Jiaojiao, where are you?"
“Jiaojiao!”
Wang Lingyu shouted worriedly, covering her nose with a handkerchief as she walked into the yard.
Behind him, Aying held Shi Wu's hand tightly, observing his surroundings vigilantly.
"Have you brought the gold?" The groom came out of the room.
There was a dim light in the room.
Shi Jiao was seen lying on the ground, her hands and feet were tied up, her mouth was wrapped with cloth, and she was looking outside with tears in her eyes.
"Jiaojiao, what did you do to my Jiaojiao?!" Wang Lingyu wanted to step forward in despair, but the groom suddenly took out a dagger.
"Leave the gold behind, and get everyone out!"
"The knife has no eyes, don't mess with me!"
The groom held the dagger tightly in his hands, his whole body trembling.
Shi Jiao, lying on the ground, kept shaking her head.
But her mouth was blocked and she couldn't say anything.
I could only watch my mother put the gold on the ground.
"Everyone, get out of the yard! After I move the gold into the house, I'll let Shi Jiao out."
The groom looked greedily at the box of gold on the ground.
"Let's go out. Don't hurt Jiaojiao. I've given you all the gold. You have to keep your word!"
Wang Lingyu gave instructions while leading Shi Wu and Aying out of the yard.
The groom carried the gold into the house and closed the door.
But he didn't let Shi Jiao out for a long time.
After realizing something was wrong, the three of them rushed into the house.
The groom and Shi Jiao were both gone.
There were bloodstains on the ground.
The window was open and it looked like he escaped through the window.
"I'll go after her."
"You guys stay here, don't wander around."
As Ah Ying said this, he transformed into his true form and quickly jumped out of the window to catch up with the two.
The coachman originally wanted to take Shi Jiao with him, but when he saw A Ying catching up with them, he cut the rope of the carriage and rode away on his horse.
When Aying opened the curtain, he saw that the cloth on Shijiao's mouth was stained red.
He looks seriously injured.
He didn't bother to chase the coachman and hurriedly took Shi Jiao back.
Although Shi Jiao saved her life.
But my voice was also ruined.
The groom forced her to swallow a needle, which injured her vocal cords. Not only that, a long scar was left on her lip.
After being rescued, she never left her room again.
The whole person lives in fear.
The Shi family now focuses all their attention on Shi Jiao, which gives Shi Wu the opportunity to leave.
Under Aying's arrangement, they quickly left the city.
Ten orcs escorted Shi Wu to his destination.
After receiving the news that Shi Wu had arrived safely at his destination, Liangdu began to fall into chaos.
Time House.
Wang Lingyu hurried to Shi Jiao's room and grabbed her hand, trying to pull her away.
But Shi Jiao refused to do so and even opened her mouth to bite her mother's arm.
"Jiaojiao, are you crazy?"
"We can't stay in Liangdu anymore. The streets are full of orcs. If we don't leave now, we're all going to die here!"
Shi Jiao kept shaking her head.
She tried to speak, but only a hoarse sound came out of her throat.
"If you have anything to say, can't you tell me slowly after we leave here?"
"All the servants at home have run away, let's go quickly!"
"And your father, he actually abandoned us mother and me and only cared about running away with the woman in the brothel..."
"I'm so pissed!"
As Wang Lingyu spoke, tears fell down her face. Now she only hoped that her biological daughter could be with her.
But Shi Jiao was unwilling to leave. She walked to the tea table and wrote the word "shadow" on the table with her hand dipped in water.
She was waiting for Aying to come and save her.
Just like that day in the carriage, he came to save me.
From that moment on, Shi Jiao regretted it.
