Chapter 127: Live to see people, die to see corpses
Just as Tao Yao was wondering why Zuo Qiu put a sweet date in her tea, her stomach suddenly felt churning. In an instant, Tao Yao lost all her strength, her body tilted, and she fell limply on the table.
The tea is poisonous!
Tao Yao immediately wanted to remind Lu Che, but stars were raining in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see anything clearly. She was dizzy for a moment and couldn't tell where Lu Che was.
At this moment, Tao Yao's whole body seemed to have lost consciousness, and she couldn't even open her mouth to speak. Only her hearing was still sharp - she could hear the sound of wheels rolling over the mud and sand, and the carriage was still moving forward. Suddenly, a sharp clang sounded from somewhere, which must be the sound of swords clashing.
Tao Yao was in great confusion and could only search for Lu Che's voice among all the other voices.
But he couldn't hear anything at all - if Lu Che hadn't been poisoned and was still conscious, he would have reacted immediately and fought with Zuo Tang and Zuo Qiu.
But Taoyao could only hear the sound of the wind, the rustling of branches against the carriage, and the sound of the wheels rolling over the muddy pond. Apart from that, there was only an eerie silence around him.
Tao Yao's heart was beating like thunder, and countless voices in her mind were reminding her that she must not really pass out, otherwise, she and Lu Che might really not be able to get off the carriage.
Lu Che had just recovered from his old poison, and his body was definitely not able to withstand it - Tao Yao was still a little conscious. It seemed that Zuo Tang took Shi Yiqian's face into consideration and did not kill Tao Yao, but Lu Che might not be so lucky.
Tao Yao subconsciously used her nails to dig a few bloody holes in her palms, and the piercing pain immediately woke her up.
I regained consciousness, but my eyes were still blurry and I couldn't see anything clearly.
In a panic, Tao Yao suddenly grabbed a teacup and threw it forward without thinking. With a bang, the cup probably hit the wall but did not hurt anyone.
"Zuo Tang! What tricks are you trying to play!?"
Tao Yao grabbed another teacup. She concentrated her mind and energy, focusing all her attention on her ears, trying to determine Zuo Tang's position.
But no one answered her.
The carriage continued to move forward. Tao Yao held her breath and listened attentively to everything around her. It was so quiet that she couldn't even hear the breathing of others. She could only hear her own heartbeat getting faster and faster. A bad premonition flashed through Tao Yao's mind.
Such abnormal silence, is it not that they are deliberately keeping silent, but that there is really no one in the car?
Tao Yao hurriedly felt around but found nothing.
"Lu Che! Lu Che? Are you there?"
Tao Yao called out Lu Che's name again, but still no one responded to her.
At this time, the speed of the carriage suddenly increased, and the carriage shook violently, making it impossible for Tao Yao to sit still.
Tao Yao took advantage of the sudden shaking of the carriage to crawl around the entire carriage and confirmed that she was the only one left in the carriage. Even the coachman was gone, and the horse was running on its own.
Tao Yao hurriedly looked for the horse's reins, but only found half of the rope that had been cut off - the reins had been cut off intentionally so that Tao Yao could no longer control the direction of the horse.
At this moment, Tao Yao couldn't judge where the horses would take the carriage. She only knew that Zuo Tang had bad intentions. If she didn't leave the carriage, she would be waiting to die.
Tao Yao gritted her teeth, grabbed a teacup and smashed it to the ground. Then she picked up the sharpest piece, exerted force with her wrist, and stabbed it hard into the horse's butt.
The horse suddenly neighed sharply, stopped in its tracks, and Taoyao saw the perfect moment, rolled over and tumbled off the carriage. In the chaos, Taoyao's head accidentally hit a tree stump, causing her to see stars.
Fortunately, Tao Yao turned a disaster into a blessing. The collision actually healed his eyes, and he could immediately see the surrounding scenery clearly.
Taoyao climbed up from the grass and looked around. Everywhere were low peach trees. The peach forest was filled with abundant moisture and thick fog. Taoyao could only see the scenery within a mile around him. Beyond that, he could not see clearly.
The carriage had already vanished into the mist. Tao Yao didn't have time to think about anything else. Lu Che was now captured by Zuo Tang and Zuo Qiu, so he must be in danger. But Tao Yao thought again, Lu Che was a skilled martial artist, so he could definitely hold them off for a few more moves.
No matter what, she had to find Lu Che first, and meet him first, then everything would be easy.
The peach forest is so foggy and the path is difficult to walk on. Zuo Tang and the others must not have left very far. Tao Yao thought so and began to search everywhere in the forest. Every time she came to a place, she tore off a piece of fabric from her skirt and tied it to a tree branch as a mark.
On the other side, Chu Huanjun was getting extremely anxious.
He had been secretly following Tao Yao and Lu Che, but was sidestepped by a man who lied that he could repair the white jade porcelain box. When he came to his senses, Tao Yao and Lu Che had disappeared.
Qingshui Town wasn't big, so even if Tao Yao was playful, she couldn't have strayed too far from the town. Chu Huanjun dragged Song Zhishou with him and searched almost the entire town, but couldn't find any trace of Tao Yao or Lu Che.
Chu Huanjun immediately became certain that they were in danger.
Chu Huanjun didn't hesitate for too long. He immediately arranged for Song Zhishou to look for people in the west and north of Qingshui Town, while he went to look for people in the east and south of Qingshui Town.
Chu Huanjun had come to Qingshui Town in such a hurry that he hadn't even had time to prepare a horse. In his haste to find someone, he stole a peddler's mule while running, pulling it by the tail to spur it on.
Even though this mule had a bad nature, it had to run wildly because Chu Huanjun treated it like a horse, otherwise Chu Huanjun would have pulled its short tail off with his bare hands.
Chu Huanjun almost pried open all the hills on the outskirts of Qingshui Town and searched them thoroughly, but he still couldn't find any trace of Tao Yao.
His mind was in turmoil, secretly blaming himself for being so easily tricked. He squatted down and began to dig the ground with his bare hands.
I can't find Taoyao anywhere. Could it be that she's been buried alive?! No matter what, even if I dig three feet deep, I'll find her alive or dead.
Chu Huanjun scattered a few handfuls of yellow soil around in a distracted manner. Suddenly, he saw a broken peach branch in the soil. There was a piece of peach pink gauze tied to the branch, which looked very familiar.
Chu Huanjun's heart tightened, and he quickly picked up the branch and carefully untied the peach pink satin tied to it.
For a moment, the figure of Tao Yao, wearing a peach pink skirt and waiting for someone under the big willow tree, flashed before Chu Huanjun's eyes.
