After winning the first battle, Tao Yao walked cheerfully, leading Lu Li and following Tao Qi towards Tao Ranju.
After a while of hesitation, they arrived in front of Tao Ranju's house.
Looking inside from the courtyard gate, Taoyao actually saw several vegetable gardens. The vegetables in the gardens were chewed into a mess, and three or five little yellow ducks were running back and forth inside.
It is a somewhat interesting courtyard. However, the owner has been absent for a long time, and Tao Ran, who is full of pastoral interest, has become a lot messy. Even so, the courtyard still looks very lively. Lu Li praised it: "Senior Sister Tao, this place is really good.
.”
Isn’t it great? It’s very different from the lifeless Taojia style.
Taoyao became curious, how did the previous head of the family become the head of the Tao family? After all, his taste seemed to be very different from that of the Tao family.
When they were approaching the corridor, Tao Qi paused and said, "Two immortals, I have been wronged by you to temporarily stay in Tao Ran's residence for the past few days. If there is anything wrong with the Tao family's hospitality, please speak up."
Lu Li smiled: "Elder Tao Qi is polite."
Tao Qi waved her hands and said: "There is only one thing. The Tao family has established a few new rules. One of them is that disciples of the clan are not allowed to go out at will at night, so I would like to ask the two immortals not to leave Tao Ranju at night."
curfew?
Chang'an City once had a curfew. It was for the sake of peace in the city. But why did the Tao family set a curfew?
Guard against house thieves?
Tao Yao is more inclined to believe that this is a rule that was just established today, specifically to prevent them. In this way, the Tao family may be hiding some secret that cannot be seen.
Originally, Taoyao wasn't very curious about what the secret was, but Tao Qi specifically mentioned it, saying that there was no way this secret would be remotely related to what she was going to do.
So it seems inevitable to go out at night?
Not long after, Tao Qi said goodbye and left, and before he left Tao Ran Ju, Lu Li's spiritual pet, the white tiger, flew into Tao Ran Ju with the second brother of the Tao family who had already woken up on his back.
When the white tiger was about to land, the second brother of the Tao family couldn't bear it anymore. He jumped off the tiger's back first and rushed towards Taoyao with his long sword.
There was an unmistakable murderous look in his eyes.
The second brother of the Tao family wants to kill her!
The white tiger sensed the murderous intent of the second brother of the Tao family, jumped up behind the second brother of the Tao family, and bit the corner of his clothes. The second brother of the Tao family was furious: "You bastard, let go, or I will kill you first -"
—”
At this time, Lu Li was already standing in front of Tao Yao.
Seeing this, Bai Hu obediently let go of his mouth. This release was so unexpected that the second brother of the Tao family, who was struggling with all his strength, fell down like a dog.
"Roar——" Bai Hu roared softly and cursed "idiot".
The second brother of the Tao family fell on the ground, with a mouthful of mud in his mouth, staring at Taoyao hatefully, and then cried pitifully.
Taoyao sighed: "Second brother——"
"Ah bah - don't call me, I'm not your second brother, and my mother-in-law doesn't have a daughter like you!" The second brother of the Tao family yelled, "I shouldn't have gone to Kunlun to beg you to come back and save my life. If I had known you didn't care about my mother-in-law at all.
With my eldest brother, I might as well be locked up in the Taojia dungeon with them and die!"
Tao Yao hopes so too.
If the second brother of the Tao family had not escaped, why would he have asked her to go to the Tao family? As a result, she racked her brains and played a scheming with the Tao family, but the second brother of the Tao family knew nothing about it. That was enough.
.
While the second brother of the Tao family was cursing and cursing, and Tao Ran stayed outside, several Tao family disciples came in carrying Mrs. Tao and the eldest brother of the Tao family who were being tortured and were not sure whether they were dead or alive.
The second brother of the Tao family who cursed was immediately stuck.
Tao Yao fluttered her sleeves: "Second brother, you want to go to the dungeon, it's up to you, but I have rescued A Niang and eldest brother."
"Eh?" The second brother of the Tao family turned to look at the person who came in. When he saw clearly, he hurriedly threw away his sword, stood up suddenly, and rushed to his relatives, "Aniang? Big brother——"
The only good thing about this idiot is filial piety.
After a while, the person was carried into the house.
Chief Tao Yao promised that he would send the best pharmacist to diagnose and treat people. Taoyao didn't know whether the person he sent was the best pharmacist, but the man only took his pulse in a hurry and shook his head hurriedly: "Prepare for future generations."
The second brother of the Tao family became stupid again because of this.
Is there really no way to save her, or is she just unwilling to save her? It’s a pity that her pockets are empty and she has no money to save anyone.
Seeing that the pharmacist had gone and never came back, Mrs. Tao and the eldest brother of the Tao family were each lying on the bed, dying. Lu Li did his part and said: "Senior Sister Tao, fellow Taoist Taoist, I am from the Lu family. Although I am not very good at learning, I am willing to try my best.
, please go out first."
On the barren mountain, after Tao Yao formed a contract with the ghost and demon, Lu Li once contacted her. At that time, she guessed that Lu Li might know medical skills, but now it seems that his ability is not small.
"Yes, yes, yes, Lu Xianzun comes from the Lu family in Jiangling. He must have great medical skills." The second brother of the Tao family turned around and tightly tugged on Lu Li's sleeve, "Please save the lives of my mother and brother."
"I try my best."
"Lu Xianzun, you can't just try your best, you must save them -" Tao Yao couldn't stand listening, and stepped forward to grab the second brother of the Tao family by his sleeves and drag him out quickly, "Rescuing people is like putting out a fire, second brother
If you don't get out quickly, do you want to watch them die?"
"No, no."
Tao Yao, who retreated to the corridor, took a deep breath and faced the east tiredly.
The sky will be bright.
"Xiao Yao'er."
Taoyao didn't want to turn around. Even though the second brother of the Tao family had a quiet voice, she really didn't want to see this fool.
However, he couldn't hear her voice, so he just bowed to Taoyao and said, "Xiao Yao'er, I made a lot of mistakes, and they were all the fault of my second brother. It was my second brother who was too anxious, so he said harsh words to you.
It’s the second brother who is a bastard, the second brother who is stupid, and the younger brother, please forgive me once, and the second brother promises that there will never be a second time.”
Isn't there a third time?
Look what is she thinking? With the temperament of the second brother of the Tao family, no matter how many times he falls or how many times he suffers, he will never learn to behave.
She didn't know what kind of person the former head of the family was who was killed. He was really useless as he only taught his son.
"Xiao Yao'er, second brother really ate something wrong. Don't ignore second brother."
Taoyao turned around and looked at the second brother of the Tao family who sincerely admitted his mistake.
She was an orphan, and what she envied most was having a complete family and a child who was loved by her parents. Because of this, she couldn't help but want to scold her: "Second brother, my father is gone, and my mother is being tortured again."
Half of my life is gone, and I’m afraid the remaining eldest brother won’t be much better. I have to rely on you to support such a big family from now on.”
The second brother of the Tao family was confused and pointed at himself in disbelief: "Me?"
Is this a child who has been pampered?
So lucky and pitiful.
Tao Yao shook her head and didn't want to say more. She leaned against the pillars under the corridor and closed her eyes slightly.
It’s so tiring to compete with others with wits and courage...
I don't know how much time passed, but Taoyao, who was in a daze, heard the second brother of the Tao family say softly in a critical tone: "Xiao Yao'er, you are different from before."
She opened her eyes.
There was suspicion and defensiveness in the eyes of the second brother Taoyao, and he said: "In the past, the eldest brother and I have trained you together. This is the first time that the second brother has been trained by you."
Tao Yao only slightly raised her lips: "It's all because of Master's good teachings."
"Kunlun... it's great." The second brother of the Tao family murmured, "If I could go up there..."
Taoyao wanted to find a place to have a good sleep.
She had already helped those who should have been helped. Taoyao didn't know whether they would think of her best, but she knew that if she had too many unnecessary interactions with them, her secret would inevitably be revealed.
At least with Taojia Erlang's IQ level, after discovering the truth, he may not kill the person who killed Taoyao, but he will definitely come and kill her, the monster who took his sister's name.
Just as she was about to retreat, the door that had been closed for a long time was suddenly opened, and Lu Li walked out with a tired look on his face.
The second brother of the Tao family quickly came up to him: "Lu Xianzun, how are my mother and eldest brother?"
Lu Li sighed deeply and looked solemn.
The second brother of the Tao family was anxious. He grabbed Lu Li's sleeve and shook it violently: "Lu Xianzun, why don't you speak?"
"Fellow Daoist Tao, the Tao family is ruthless. Your eldest brother has injured his muscles and bones. Even if he can recover, he will probably be slower than others in practice in the future."
"How...is that possible?" This result seemed unacceptable to the second brother of the Tao family.
However, this was not the end, Lu Li said in a more solemn voice: "There is also Mrs. Tao. She was beaten all over her body, and no one treated her injuries. The old wounds were piled on top of new ones, and she was already covered in scars.
hole.
I am still alive now, but I am just holding on for my last breath. When this breath is gone, then..."
will die.
"No, it's impossible -" The second brother of the Tao family grabbed Lu Li and shook him violently, "Aren't you a member of the Lu family? How come you can't even save my mother-in-law? Do you deserve the surname Lu?!"
"Tao Erlang!" Tao Yao was angry and kicked the second brother of the Tao family. It's okay that this guy has no conscience towards her. She took advantage of Tao Yao's name, but why did Lu Li work so hard?
The second brother of the Tao family who was kicked did not expect to apologize to Lu Li, but instead he covered his face, squatted on the ground, and cried like an abandoned child.
"..." This guy is hopeless!
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and said to Taoyao apologetically, "Sister, I'm sorry."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You did your best. Go and have a rest."
The helpless Lu Li clenched his fist angrily and smashed it against the wall. He cursed: "Senior sister, the Tao family is really nothing."
If the Tao family were things, Taoyao's father would not die.
Lu Li squatted down and said to the second brother of the Tao family who was crying uncontrollably: "Fellow Taoist Taoist, I am really helpless to deal with Mrs. Tao's life, but your brother will definitely find a way to match my fate when I return to Kunlun."
Just taking medicine to keep him healthy will never give him a chance to recover as before."
It's a pity that Lu Li's words were not heard by the second brother of the Tao family. He was just immersed in his own grief.
Lu Li sighed helplessly, then stood up and said to Tao Yao: "Senior Sister Tao, Mrs. Tao is awake. I heard that you returned to Tao's house and wanted to see you."
"..."
Want to see her?
Was he going to beat her up? No, Lu Li said that she only had a breath of energy left to hold on, so he thought he would only have to curse her a few times, so he wouldn't have the strength to beat her up.
Sigh... She is really unlucky. She saved people, but she didn't get a word of thanks. Even if she didn't thank her, she still had to be scolded.
sad.
Just as Tao Yao was about to take a step, Lu Li leaned forward and whispered: "Senior Sister Tao, be careful."
"Eh?"
Lu Li kindly explained Tao Yao's confusion: "I'm afraid Mrs. Tao is... crazy."
crazy?
Tao Yao walked into Mrs. Tao's bedroom with her heavy feet.
On the spacious couch, Mrs. Tao, who was skinny and pale, closed her eyes quietly. Although Lu Li covered her with a quilt, her skin exposed outside the quilt was covered with various criss-crossing scars.
Some were whipped, some were burned with hot iron, and there were some unspeakable scars.
No wonder Lu Li wanted to scold the Tao family for being nothing.
"Aniang."
Mrs. Tao suddenly opened her eyes, and then she sat up in shock, raising her hand to slap Tao Yao.
Taoyao didn't hide.
To be honest, it doesn't hurt.
Perhaps it was because the deathly silence in Mrs. Tao's eyes was too strong that she couldn't help but say: "Mom, I was wrong."
Mrs. Tao, who stared at Tao Yao fiercely, was suddenly startled. After a moment, the strong hatred in her eyes disappeared, and she was immediately overwhelmed by despair. She quickly covered her face to hide the despair in her eyes.
After a long time, she raised her eyes, her eyes were red, and her voice was cold: "Who are you?" This chapter has been completed!
