The cell fell into darkness again, and in the middle of the night, the only sound left was heavy breathing.
"How is the host? Do you still feel uncomfortable?" Ye Xun squatted in front of her bed.
Liu Ruyan turned over and curled up tightly.
She felt uncomfortable, as if the blood in her body was boiling, surging, and screaming, trying to find an outlet.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and there was a voice in his mind that repeated over and over again: As long as you give up struggling and become a puppet, the pain will no longer occur.
"I don't want to hurt anymore..." Liu Ruyan's consciousness was confused and she murmured following the voice.
"Liu Ruyan...host..."
Who is calling her?
Liu Ruyan wondered vaguely, who was talking to her in her ear?
She opened her eyes and saw Ye Xun's concerned eyebrows in her sight.
In this world, who else would care about him? Liu Ruyan thought hard, and vivid faces flashed one after another - Uncle Quan, Xiao Yang, Ye Xun.
She vaguely remembered something.
In order to allow Uncle Quan to break through the siege with the iron box safely, she was left alone to deal with Shen Yanchu. At the same time, Uncle Quan and Xiao Yang exchanged identities. Xiao Yang disguised himself as Uncle Quan and got rid of Cang. Those subordinates of the Ming sect.
Therefore, what she has to do now is to escape quickly and join everyone.
Liu Ruyan looked at the young man standing beside her, and she forced a smile. The smile looked weak because of the force: "I'm not doing well. Don't worry, I won't die yet."
Ye Xun felt something in his throat. There were various words stored in his database, but none of them could tell him how to comfort a seemingly strong person. Perhaps only at this moment did he realize that the host was still named Seventeen. year old girl.
He changed his mind and took out the medicine jar from the system space: "There are pain-relieving pills here. The host should take them quickly."
Liu Ruyan reached out and took it. The pill tasted slightly sweet, without the bitter taste that she had always hated.
When the medicine took effect, the pain was indeed not as strong as before.
She still had some strength to sit up and looked at the moonlight filtering through the carved bricks above her head, lost in thought.
She was secretly melancholy, wondering if such endurance would eventually greet her with never-ending pain, or turn her into a zombie puppet.
"Host, you might as well talk about your past." Ye Xun broke the silence.
She closed her eyes, as if she was extremely tired: "Those who used to have nothing to say, either stayed in the military camp to practice, or performed tasks for the imperial court."
"Then why does the host want to be a scout?"
Why?
In fact, she has never studied it in detail. She only knows that this is the fate of their Liu family.
The ancestors of the Liu family were originally an old tribe of the Tang Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty was destroyed and the Liang Emperor ascended the throne, they were exiled to Bingzhou.
After several twists and turns, she came to her father Liu Ming's generation, who joined the army at a young age, and later followed Taiyuan Yin, helping him proclaim himself emperor in the twelve states of Hedong and found the country "Han".
Reminiscing about the past, she spoke slowly, her voice different from the deep voice in the past, especially light and airy in this biting night.
"My father often said that a man should never forget his roots. He worked hard to develop various special skills to make the Liu family's scouts an elite force on the battlefield and even in the imperial court. I was born to succeed him and become the most outstanding scout. ."
Ye Xun understood and asked cautiously: "Then what happened to your father?"
"Yeah, he..." she whispered, with a hint of choking in her voice. She finally didn't say anything, and let out a long sigh, and then there was a long silence.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but when I woke up again, it was already dawn.
The sunlight filtered through the carved bricks. Liu Ruyan stood up and stretched her muscles. Except for some soreness and numbness, there was no other abnormality in her body.
Ye Xun then appeared: "How is the host feeling today?"
"Everything is as usual." She said with a faint smile, and added, "I will recharge my batteries for the time being. When night falls, I will collect some interest."
Ye Xun's eyelids twitched a few times and he couldn't help but ask: "What interest?"
She took off her coat and spread it flat on the ground, and said without raising her head: "Young master, I am a vengeful person. Just based on these few grudges, letting the devil cut flesh and bleed is considered a light thing."
"Hiss—" Ye Xun gasped, "Host, you are violent!"
She glanced at him, smiling: "Oh, really?"
The young man took a few steps back. Wait, why was he panicking? But the look in the host's eyes just now was so scary, wasn't it?
She stopped talking to Ye Xun and lowered her head to do what she was doing. She took off the silver thread embroidered on her coat and wrapped it around her wrist in circles.
After finishing the work, Liu Ruyan packed her things again and opened her mouth: "The plot has progressed to the point where the golden cicada has escaped from its shell? I heard that there is another bounty?"
"It's points." Ye Xun corrected, "Every time the host completes a plot, he will be rewarded with points. These points can be exchanged for items in the mall. Based on the fact that the host's current points are not enough to open the mall, the plot must be completed as soon as possible.
.”
Liu Ruyan roughly understood what he meant, and took the time to glance at the barrage:
"I feel sorry for the heroine."
"Sit back and watch the male protagonist commit suicide."
"Tsundere is happy for a while, chasing his wife to the crematorium."
The current prestige value has increased slightly. Liu Ruyan closed her eyes and simply lay back on the couch with her eyes closed to rest.
evening.
Liu Ruyan received another food box. The food was much worse than yesterday, but she always had a happy-go-lucky temperament and finished the meal silently.
It's night, everything is silent, and the moon is as cold as water.
In the dark cell, there was a person sitting on the couch. As a rustling sound came from the corner, the person suddenly opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of the sound.
"squeak--"
It turned out to be a mouse. Liu Ruyan thought of something, stood up, and quietly came to the corner.
With the system's night vision function, although it's not as bright as day, you can still clearly see a mouse gnawing on meal scraps.
Food is hard to find in the middle of winter right now, so this mouse must have been attracted by the smell of vegetables.
Liu Ruyan waved her wrist, and the silk thread wrapped around her wrist bound the mouse tightly.
Ye Xun, who was following from the side, expressed surprise.
He watched helplessly as the host lifted up the silk thread and hung the mouse in front of his eyes with a calm expression.
The small green bean-like eyes of a mouse were frightened and frightened, and it made a shrill squeaking sound while its four little paws waved desperately.
But Liu Ruyan just placed it on the carved bricks, then freed her hand and took out the long-hidden artifact - the matchbox.
Ye Xun looked at the host helplessly again, pushed open the box, took out the wooden stick, and sparks came out with a "crash".
Then, she actually lit the mouse tail on fire.
"Oh, host, you are cruel!"
Liu Ruyan spread her hands helplessly: "I wanted to shoot out the fire, but the snow is too cold and the fire is easy to extinguish."
"So you just set fire to the rat?" Ye Xun choked.
She admitted generously and smiled: "Not only that, tonight I will also let you see Huoshao Wulang Mountain."
"Warning, set fire to the mountain and sit in jail." The mechanical prompt sounded at the right time.
