Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Blood Splattered Courtyard

Violent screams continued to come from the patio on the right side of the front garden, interspersed with women's terrified cries. The doors to the front and rear of the right side of the courtyard were wide open, and the muffled sound of boards hitting the flesh and blood spread throughout. Throughout the entire Zhuge mansion, all the servants who passed by looked sideways, eagerly waiting to see who would enjoy such an honor. The crowd gradually gathered, Chu Qiao stood in front of the mansion gate, she could walk out of this man-eating courtyard in just one step, but those screams kept hitting her eardrums, the child's brows became more and more wrinkled, and finally retracted the small Step, turned around and quickly ran towards the right compartment.

Fate will often give people a chance to choose, and a single step will often change many things. Zhuge Yue was dressed in light green brocade clothes, with dark green lotus embroidered on the skirt, his black hair was scattered on his shoulders, his face was as white as jade, his eyes were as black as ink, and his lips had a hint of unusually bright red. Although he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, he looks evil and indulgent.He was lying on his side on a red sandalwood gilded soft chair, with his elbows resting on the back of his head, and the handsome maids on both sides were squatting beside him holding good incense, and from time to time, they would push a piece of incense transported from Bian Tang to him. fresh lychees.

Twenty steps in front of him, the child in servant's clothes had been beaten to pieces, and even his screams gradually became weaker.A six or seven-year-old slave girl knelt beside her, kowtowing continuously to beg for mercy. The skin on her forehead was torn, and blood flowed across the child's clear, tearful eyes. The sun is gradually rising, and Zhenhuang City is located on the Hongchuan Plateau. Although it is mid-winter, the sun is still fierce.Zhuge Yue raised his head, frowned slightly, and narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing this, the maids on both sides immediately opened their umbrellas nervously and covered Zhuge Yue's head.Zhuge Yue pushed it away in annoyance, sat up straight, waved to the attendants on both sides, and leaned against the back of the chair.

Two Kongwu powerful men stepped forward respectfully and cautiously, lifted Zhuge Yue's soft chair one after the other, and walked towards the door of the right compartment. The girl kneeling on the ground and kowtowing was startled when she saw it, she cried out in panic, and after a few steps, she climbed up on her knees, grabbed Zhuge Yue's clothes, and cried, "Fourth young master, I beg you!" Let Lin Xi go, if you keep beating him, he will die!" Zhuge Yue raised his eyebrows, and looked down slightly, looking at the girl's little black hand stained with blood.

The child felt an unstoppable cold rushing to his head, and saw five bloody finger prints on Zhuge Yue's bright white boots, which looked particularly eye-catching. The child was startled, tongue-tied, and after a long time panicked, he wiped Zhuge Yue's boots vigorously with his sleeve, crying, "I'm sorry Fourth Young Master, Xiao Qi will clean it up for you right away." With a bang, Zhuge Yue kicked the child to the ground, and the maids on both sides immediately knelt and stepped forward, taking off the dirty boot.Zhuge Yue glanced at the child in disgust, and said in a low voice, "Cut off her hand."

The child immediately forgot to cry, and sat on the ground stunned. The wolf-like guard rushed forward, and the long knife in his waist was unsheathed in an instant, and a line of blood shot up into the sky in an instant. Was cut to the ground! The ear-piercing scream broke through the sky in an instant, scaring away the ferocious howling vultures all over the sky. Chu Qiao stood at the door in a daze, like a stone statue, her running steps stopped abruptly, her eyes were wide open, she tightly covered her mouth, and could no longer move an inch. "Fourth young master, this kid is out of breath."

Zhuge Yue glanced at Linxi's small corpse calmly, stretched out his slender fingers to rub his temples, and said calmly, "Throw it into Houshanting Lake to feed the fish." "yes." The strong man lifted Zhuge Yue's soft chair and walked forward slowly, all the servants he passed hurriedly knelt down, not even daring to lift their heads. "Wait," Zhuge Yue suddenly said softly when passing by the door of the right wing courtyard, turned his head slightly, looked at Chu Qiao who was standing in front of the courtyard door and stared at him, frowned and said in a low voice: "You Who is the slave of which yard, why don’t you kneel when you see me?”

Chu Qiao took a deep breath, bit her lips tightly, and swallowed all her shock and anger.Kneeling on the ground with a plop, staring straight at the green brick ground with wide open eyes, he panicked and said in a child's tone: "Yue'er is a handyman in the backyard, fourth young master please forgive Yue'er for not being knowledgeable. The first time Yue'er saw the young master, she thought she saw a fairy." Zhuge Yue smiled lightly, seeing that the child Xueyu was cute, young and not very eloquent, he said with a smile: "What a clever little girl, how old are you and what's your name?"

"Back to Fourth Young Master, Yue'er is seven years old this year, and her surname is Jing." "That's it," Zhuge Yue said, "then you can change your name and follow me in the future. Let's call it Xing'er." Chu Qiao kowtowed to the ground immediately, and said loudly, "Xing'er, thank you Fourth Young Master for your promotion." Zhuge Yue smiled faintly, and the servants lifted up their chairs, turned around the corridor, and were nowhere to be seen. It was just a low-level slave who died. The servants of Zhuge's mansion had already seen the strange thing, and they dispersed in a short while.Several cleaning servants lifted the child's small body, wrapped it in a sack, dragged it on the ground, and headed towards the Tinghu Lake in the backyard.

The child was still very young, and the flesh and blood all over his body had been smashed to pieces. The blood flowed out through the sack, sticking to the green brick floor, forming a long bloodstain.Chu Qiao was still kneeling on the ground, her back was heaving up and down, her teeth were tightly biting her lower lip, her eyes were straight, her two small fists were tightly clenched, she watched the sack from Her eyes were slowly dragged away, glaring blood spread all over the ground, covered with dirty dust, a large tear swirled in her eye socket, and landed on the back of her hand with a bang.

"Don't be afraid, Yue'er, Brother Wu is here." "We had a very good meal tonight. The Fourth Young Master gave us additional dishes, braised carp in braised sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, tenderloin in vinegar, white plate duck, there are so many dishes, I feel like vomiting, and now I can't eat anything." "Yue'er, don't worry, one day in the future, Fifth Brother will make you full and warm, and bring you all the good things in this world, not only braised pork, but also ginseng, abalone, bird's nest, shark's fin, Xiangba, you can have everything you want. At that time, no one will be able to bully us anymore, Yue'er, do you trust Fifth Brother?" "Yue'er, Fifth Brother will protect you, I'll be right here with you, don't be afraid." The sorrow and hatred in her heart surged up like a rushing sea, but she knew that she could not cry, and she could not show even a little bit of resentment at this time.She wiped her face with the back of her hand, and stood up quickly. Beside the empty courtyard, Xiao Qi, who had lost her hand, had already passed out. The blood flowed from the severed wrist like a spring, but no one paid any attention to it. Chu Qiao quickly tore the clothes, pressed the acupuncture points, and wrapped the child up to stop the bleeding. After doing everything, she carried Xiao Qi on her back, gritted her teeth and walked towards the backyard. As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, a cold voice suddenly said in a deep voice: "Stop! Who allowed you to carry her away?" Chu Qiao raised her head, only to see that it was Zhu Shun who whipped her and locked her up for three days that day. The child frowned slightly, and calmly said, "Fourth Young Master didn't say he was going to kill her." "The master didn't say he would let her go!" Zhu Shun looked at Chu Qiao coldly. For some reason, the scene on Jiuwei Street that day always appeared in his dreams. After the child was beaten, he asked his name in a flat tone. The picture always makes him restless, and he himself finds it ridiculous that he would be afraid of such a young and low-status slave, but there is always a voice in his heart constantly reminding him that this double-knowledgeable man Eyes: If you don't get rid of this child as soon as possible, it will become a serious problem sooner or later. "Thinking about my master's thoughts, I don't know how to live or die. Come, take these two little slaves down for me!" The two servants immediately stepped forward and pulled Chu Qiao's arm, Chu Qiao hurriedly dodged back, while pulling, Xiao Qi suddenly let out a muffled snort, and the blood that had just stopped flowed out again. "Who dares to come here! I am the person next to the fourth young master, you are all dying?" Zhu Shun sneered, and said: "Before I got the chicken feathers, I already served as a command arrow. Do you remember that you are such a person or two people tomorrow morning, and you dare to use this to scare me! Go, take these two children!" Come on, teach me a hard lesson!" Chu Qiao raised her eyebrows, carrying Xiao Qi on her back, she immediately backed away like a little leopard, her eyes rolled sharply, and her brows frowned. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Zhu Shun.The young man was tall and tall, wearing a dark green python robe. He stood in front of the wall photo in the front garden with his back to everyone, and he was accompanied by four attendants. Do you want to inform Young Master Huai for my heir, why are you entangled here? I think you really have a lot of free time." Zhu Shun was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around, bent his waist under his crotch like a dog's leg, nodded and bowed and said: "Your Majesty Yan, it's really a servant who doesn't listen to discipline, and he made you laugh at me." "Is it more important for you to discipline the subordinates, or my family's heir? Zhu Shun, I think you have lost your head, and you are so courageous that you can swallow the sun and the moon." Zhu Shun was shocked, knocked his head on the ground, and said hastily: "The young ones dare not, the young ones dare not, the young ones know their mistakes." "You know you're wrong and you're still standing here?" Hearing this, Zhu Shun stood up immediately, and ran towards Zhuge Huai's study as if his butt was on fire. The servants of Zhuge's mansion quickly stepped aside, and one of them said cautiously: "Please wait in the flower hall, Mr. Yan." The young man in brocade robe nodded, turned around slowly, his eyes were as black as ink, and his eyes swept across the front garden. When he saw Chu Qiao from the corner of his eyes, he narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he remembered something, and walked straight forward. Chu Qiao's eyes were calm, and she took two steps back cautiously.Seeing her retreat, Yan Xun stood still, meditated for a while, and took out a white porcelain bottle from the sleeve pocket of his shirt. The orchid pattern was carved on it, which looked very delicate. The young man reached out and handed it over, nodded slightly, motioned for her to take it. Chu Qiao looked Yan Xun up and down, the scene on the hunting ground that day flashed past her eyes once again, making her mind a little erratic, and cautiously, she didn't go forward. Yan Xun was taken aback for a moment, then pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled faintly, bent down and put the porcelain bottle on the ground gently, turned around and walked into the flower hall with his entourage. "Uh..." A slight groan sounded from behind, and Xiao Qi saw Chu Qiao's face in a daze, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, and she cried with indescribable fear, "Sister Yue'er... ...Xiaoqi...is Xiaoqi going to die?" Chu Qiao squatted down, holding the porcelain bottle tightly in her hand, her small body was tense, and she looked towards the main house of Zhuge Mansion with gloomy eyes, and said slowly but firmly: "Little Seven , my sister assures you that you will be fine, and you will never be fine again."
