Chapter 17 The Seventeenth Chapter of the Cruel

Chu Liuxiang said: "Exactly." He immediately went on to say: "It's because those people didn't expect her to do such a murderous attack, so they were completely unprepared against her. Otherwise, how could they kill so many people in a single moment..." Li Yuhan said: "So, you think it's because she is the closest person to Shi Guanyin that she wants to kill you, don't you?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Besides this, there seems to be no other explanation." Li Yuhan said, "Then what about me?" Chu Liuxiang sighed: "I'm afraid you were fooled by her and used by her... Maybe she is the spy Shi Guanyin sent to the south of the Yangtze River to go undercover, that's why she married you. There is nothing better than Madam's name as a cover."

Li Yuhan said: "Since she is Shi Guanyin's best friend, why did she go to cure Hu Tiehua and the others?" Chu Liuxiang said: "It was only because I had killed Shi Guanyin at that time, and she saw that the situation was over, so she went to save them, so as to save a step back in the future. Anyway, if Hu Tiehua and the others die, it will not do her any good." Li Yuhan suddenly laughed too. His laughter was full of sadness and indignation, as if full of resentment. He laughed and said, "Chu Liuxiang, Chu Liuxiang, you are so smart, it's a pity that you are too smart."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Did I say something wrong?" Li Yuhan hissed, "Of course you are not wrong. How could the omniscient Chu Liuxiang be wrong? No matter what you say now, it doesn't matter anyway." He seemed to be on fire in the middle of the day, and he roared: "Just because you must die now anyway, otherwise I will kill them immediately." Hu Tiehua was surprised: "Are you crazy?" Li Yuhan roared: "Yes, I am indeed crazy, but if you change me, you are probably even more crazy than me." His hands were trembling, and he might move the spring of the "Rainstorm Pear Blossom Nail" at any time. If it was someone else, how dare he provoke him again.

But Hu Tiehua didn't care about it, and still yelled: "Until now, you still want to protect her?" Li Yuhan also roared, "Of course." Hu Tiehua roared louder, shouting angrily: "Until now, don't you believe that she is the disciple of that female devil Shi Guanyin?" Liu Wumei had already lowered her head, but suddenly raised her head again, and said sharply: "Yes, I am originally a disciple of Shi Guanyin, but I never kept it from him." Hu Tiehua was startled, stared at Li Yuhan and said, "You already knew that she was an undercover spy sent by Shi Guanyin to the south of the Yangtze River, and you wanted to marry her as a wife. Apart from her, is it true that all the women in the world are dead? "

Liu Wumei held Li Yuhan's arm tightly, not letting him speak. Her own hands were also trembling, and she said in a trembling voice: "You have said all the vicious things, can you let me say a few words?" Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "I am listening attentively." Liu Wumei said: "Only Shi Guanyin's disciples, Qu Wurong and I, grew up with her. Both of us are orphans, and we don't even know the names of our parents. She originally took my place. After I got here, I named Liu as my surname and changed my name to Wumei." Chu Liuxiang said: "Could it be that Qu Wurong's name was changed after his appearance was destroyed?"

Liu Wumei said: "That's right, her original name was Wu Si, and my original name was Wu Yi." Chu Liuxiang sighed, and murmured: "Wusi, Wuyi, Wuhua... Alas!" Liu Wumei said: "Although she wants us to have no thoughts and no memories, we are also flesh and blood people. Everyone will miss their parents when they grow up, and we are no exception, but she still refuses to tell us. Who are her parents, she loses her temper as soon as we mention it." Chu Liuxiang sighed: "I have seen with my own eyes how she treats her disciples." Liu Wumei said: "She is especially nice to me and Qu Wurong, but Qu Wurong's temperament is more lonely and strong, and she can't say things to please her, but I am more..."

Hu Tiehua sneered and interrupted: "You are more good at flattering people. I know that. If you want to please people, what you say will make your ears drip." Liu Wumei ignored him at all, and just continued: "In the eyes of others, Shi Guanyin seems to be really carved out of stone, but she is also a person of flesh and blood, and she also has human weaknesses." Chu Liuxiang said, "Oh?" Liu Wumei said: "Sometimes, she will also feel sad, troubled, lonely and painful. At this time, she will use wine to drown her sorrows, and she will often get very drunk."

Hu Tiehua lost his voice: "I never thought that Shi Guanyin would have such a benefit." Liu Wumei said: "Because she is relatively close to me, she often asks me to drink with her. One day she got drunk again and told me a secret." Chu Liuxiang said: "What secret?" Liu Wumei said: "That day when she drank until dawn, she was so drunk that her eyes were straight, and she suddenly told me that Qu Wurong's parents were killed by her." Chu Liuxiang was moved and said: "Could it be that she killed her parents just to accept Qu Wurong as an apprentice?"

Liu Wumei said: "Exactly." Her voice was already hoarse due to excitement, and after a long silence, she continued: "I was surprised and scared when I heard her words. At that time, I thought that since she killed Qu Wurong's parents, then Where are my parents?" Hearing this, Hu Tiehua couldn't help being moved, and couldn't help saying: "Why didn't you ask her when she was drunk?" Liu Wumei said: "Of course I asked her, but she said that my life experience is different from Qu Wurong's. I am someone else's abandoned baby, and even she doesn't know who my parents are. If I ask her again, she will hug me." Then I burst into tears, saying that she doesn’t even have any relatives, and always treats me like her own daughter.”

Hu Tiehua couldn't help but said again: "When she cries, do you believe it?" Liu Wumei rubbed her eyes, and said: "Although I don't believe it, I can't find any evidence, and I dare not tell Qu Wurong the secret, because if I tell her, it will be equivalent to harming her." Chu Liuxiang sighed: "Yes, if Shi Guanyin knew that Qu Wurong had discovered this secret, she would never let her live in this world again." Liu Wumei said: "Since that night, although I look the same as before, in fact, my heart has changed, and I can no longer be as close to her as before."

She sighed faintly, and continued: "Qu Wurong has changed more than me. The older she gets, the more distant she is from Shi Guanyin. She is like an orchid in an empty valley. She is so indifferent, so noble, so melancholy, and so beautiful, even though I am a woman, even I think she is really beautiful, so beautiful that people dare not contaminate her, let alone touch her." Hu Tiehua sighed deeply: "It's a pity that we didn't have the chance to see her color at that time." Liu Wumei sighed sadly, and said: "It's a pity that the sky is jealous of the beauty, I... I really never thought that Shi Guanyin would destroy her appearance..." Hu Tiehua said: "You also know that it is Shi Guanyin's poisonous hands?" Liu Wumei said: "I know." She gritted her teeth and continued: "After I found out about this, I felt that I couldn't get along with Shi Guanyin anymore. Although she told me repeatedly to reassure me that she would never kill me, in my eyes, she She has turned into a poisonous snake, and I can't stand her looking at me." Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Did you escape?" Liu Wumei said: "I didn't run away, if I wanted to run away, I wouldn't be able to live now." Chu Liuxiang said: "Then you..." Liu Wumei said: "I just said: 'I'm already an adult, I should come out to see the world.' I grew up in that deserted valley since I was a child, and I didn't even know what the outside world was like, so I begged She let me out." Chu Liuxiang said, "What did she say?" Liu Wumei said: "She didn't say anything, she just asked me, when is she going to leave?" Chu Liuxiang said: "What do you say?" Liu Wumei said: "At that time, I just felt that I couldn't stay for a day, so I said: 'It's better to be tomorrow'." Chu Liuxiang said: "Did she actually agree?" Liu Wumei said: "After listening to my words, she was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: 'Okay, I will see you off tonight.' I never thought that she would actually agree, I am so happy." Chu Liuxiang sighed, and said, "I'm afraid it's too early for you to be so happy." Liu Wumei said: "That night, she really prepared a farewell party for me. I... I was raised by her after all. I feel a little sad when I think of saying goodbye to her tomorrow. I feel a little sad when I think of her being so forthright. For letting me go, I couldn't help being grateful to her, so that night, I drank with her again." Hearing this, Hu Tiehua seemed to be faintly aware of the malice in her words, and she became a little nervous about her, and couldn't help asking: "What about the next day?" Liu Wumei had no expression on her face, and said lightly: "The next morning, she sent me out of the valley and let me go." Hu Tiehua was startled, and said: "Did she just let you go?" Liu Wumei was silent for a long time, although there was no expression on her face, her face was terribly pale, and her eyes were full of resentment. She said slowly, "She let me go like this, because she was sure I would go back." Hu Tiehua said: "Why?" Liu Wumei said: "I haven't walked five hundred miles, but I feel a pain in my abdomen, as if there is a tiny poisonous snake wriggling in my intestines, biting my heart with its fangs." Hu Tiehua heard all the hairs on his body stand on end, and said: "Wine... is there poison in wine?" Liu Wumei gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, the wine is poisonous, so she is sure that I will crawl back to beg her, otherwise I will die in the desert without even a body collector." Hu Tiehua said angrily: "Since she promised to let you go, why did she poison the wine?" Liu Wumei hissed: "Because she wants me to know how powerful she is, wants me to never dare to betray her, wants me to kneel on the ground and beg her...she likes to see others begging her." Hu Tiehua sighed for a long time, and murmured: "Fortunately, this person is dead now." Liu Wumei continued: "Although she is sinister and vicious, she still forgot one thing." Hu Tiehua said: "What's the matter?" Liu Wumei said: "She forgot that she told me many secrets when she was drunk." Hu Tiehua said: "Did she also tell you the secret of detoxification?" Liu Wumei said coldly: "I am her disciple, so naturally I have learned a lot of poisoning and detoxification skills, otherwise, I am afraid that you will not be able to live now." Hu Tiehua could only rub her nose and had nothing to say. Chu Liuxiang said: "But the poison she put on you must be something she never taught you to cure. You don't even know what kind of poison she poisoned, so how can you cure it?" Liu Wumei said: "I understand this truth, but she told me that although poppy can make people sink, sometimes it is also a good medicine for pain relief and detoxification, because it can completely anesthetize people and forget the pain at all, so I I have secretly hidden a box of white powder extracted from poppy for a long time, because I am always on guard against her poisonous hands." Chu Liuxiang said: "Once a person is under anesthesia all day long, is it any different from death?" Liu Wumei said: "Of course I also know that if poppies are used to relieve pain, it is the same as drinking poison to quench thirst, but at that time the pain was unbearable, and I would rather die than go back to beg her and be her slave forever. " Chu Liuxiang sighed, "So you became Poppy's slave." Liu Wumei lowered her head sadly, she didn't want others to see her face. Her face was contorted with pain. Hearing this, Su Rongrong, Song Tian'er, and Li Hongxiu couldn't help crying, and Heizhu couldn't help showing grief on his face. Between women, although it is difficult to make friends, women always sympathize with women, because they feel that as long as they are women, they are worthy of sympathy. Su Rongrong sighed quietly: "These years, your life must have been very difficult." Hu Tiehua said: "So, the reason you moaned and cried in that inn in the middle of the night was also because of the outbreak of the virus, and it wasn't a fake?" Liu Wumei said: "That's right, I used to take just one dose of poppy when I was poisoned, and the pain stopped immediately, but these days, even if I use twice as much poppy as before, it's not as effective as before." Chu Liuxiang sighed: "It's not because the poppy has lost its pain-relieving power, but because your whole body has been gradually numb by it, just like an alcoholic who must drink more and more." Hu Tiehua hurriedly said: "It's not bad at all. When I drank three or five cups before, I would feel ecstatic and forget all my troubles, but now even if I drink three or five catties of burnt knives, I still feel like It's not the same as drinking." Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but smile, he knew that a drinker would find an opportunity to brag about his drinking capacity at any time. Hu Tiehua said again: "Since you were really sick that day, who is the person who used the rainstorm pear blossom nails to plot against us?" Liu Wumei was silent for a while, then said lightly: "It's me too." Hu Tiehua was stunned, and said: "I clearly heard you screaming in the room, so how could I come out to plot against people? You...you don't know how to avatar, do you?" Liu Wumei said: "Although Poppy's pain relief is not as effective as before, it doesn't take so long. I can hear you all walking out of the yard, and I want a girl to pretend to be my moan. Everyone's voice will change when they are in pain. , so even if you think the voice is different, you won't doubt it." Hu Tiehua said: "You threw the rainstorm pear blossom nails in the woods, naturally you are afraid of being discovered by us." Liu Wumei said: "Yes!" Hu Tiehua said: "You didn't go to the old man with seven fingers at all, because there is no such person in the world, right?" Liu Wumei smiled and said: "Not only is there no such person as him, even 'Uncle Xiong' is fabricated." Hu Tiehua said: "You deliberately said that you want to find someone, because you have spent two hundred thousand taels of silver to buy a murderer. When he assassinates, you must not be present, otherwise you don't have to look for him." Liu Wumei said: "Exactly." Hu Tiehua said: "Unexpectedly, he was caught by Chu Liuxiang. You are afraid of revealing the secret, so you can only kill him." Liu Wumei said: "Not bad at all." Hu Tiehua looked at Chu Liuxiang, smiled wryly and said: "I just now know that you are really a living Zhuge, you can predict everything like a god." Liu Wumei couldn't help showing surprise on his face, and said, "Did you already guess these things?" Chu Liuxiang sighed: "But I really can't guess why you want to kill me? You are not revenge for Shi Guanyin, but what is it for?" Liu Wumei was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "It's for myself." Chu Liuxiang said in surprise, "You yourself? Do you have any hatred for me?" Liu Wumei said: "I have no hatred with you, but if you don't die, I must die." Chu Liuxiang was even more surprised, and said, "Why?" Liu Wumei said sadly: "In recent years, I have poisoned more and more frequently, and I need more and more poppies. The box I brought out has already been used up. I have to go to the rivers and lakes to search for it. How difficult it is, I also know that going on like this, even if I don’t die from the poison of Shi Guanyin, I will die from the poison of poppy.” Chu Liuxiang said: "That's true." Liu Wumei said: "It's okay for me to suffer, but...but I really can't bear to drag him down. He already spent so much money and suffered so much because of my illness and looking for Poppy." Li Yuhan's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You don't need to talk about this." Liu Wumei said sadly: "The matter has come to this, I must tell everything..." Hu Tiehua said: "You should have said it long ago." Liu Wumei said: "As far as I know, Shi Guanyin is only afraid of one person in her life. She once said that this person is her nemesis. If all her abilities are used in front of this person, they will become worthless." .” Hu Tiehua lost his voice: "Oh! Is there such a person in the world? Who is it?" Liu Wumei didn't answer, but continued: "So I thought, this person might be able to cure Shi Guanyin's poison." Hu Tiehua said: "When you find yourself poisoned, you should go to this person." Liu Wumei said: "Although I have long wanted to find him, I have never dared." Hu Tiehua said: "What are you afraid of?" Liu Wumei said: "Because he is not only the person with the highest martial arts in the world, but also the most terrifying person in the world. His character is unpredictable at all, and his temper is even more moody. He neither knows right from wrong nor distinguishes good from evil. As long as he is happy, He can do anything, and killing a man is easier for him than crushing an ant." Hu Tiehua said coldly: "I want to fight with such a person."
