Predecessors

Chapter 73 Waiting—Wang Ji

Wang Ji hurried to the vegetable market, carefully selected a plump duck, and then looked around for the necessary condiments.After buying all the vegetables, he carried the duck and hurried back with his footsteps.

"Uncle, I bought the vegetables back."

There was no expected response.

Wang Ji put down the duck in her hand, and vaguely heard the sound of whimpering behind the sofa.He walked in and saw that Xiangxiang and Smelly were tied behind the sofa with a rope.

Wang Ji looked nervous, "Where did they go?"

Xiangxiang said tremblingly, "After Mr. Lin tied us up, he left with them."

Wang Ji took a step back, then shook her head, showing a determined smile, "Impossible, it's impossible for uncle to leave me behind. He must have gone out temporarily for something, and he'll be back later."

He had to hurry up so that when his uncle came back from his work, he could serve him a bowl of warm Furong duck soup.

Wang Ji went back to the kitchen, took a pair of scissors, and cut a small slit on the neck of the duck, the size of a soybean grain.He dripped the blood into the bowl and kept dripping until the duck stopped shaking.

A few drops of duck blood flowed on Wang Ji's white hands, falling dejectedly into the snow like a failed red plum.

Xiangxiang was shocked.His words stuck in his throat, "Master, Mr. Lin, he's gone..."

Wang Ji paused, then pinched the duck's beak with her right hand, pulled the neck straight up and down, and put it in the boiler to scald her hair.

He glanced at Xiangxiang, "Is the pot ready?"

"I'll go wash right now." Xiangxiang sighed in her heart, not daring to say anything more.

The duck was stewed for more than two hours.Smelly opened the lid of the pot and found that even the whole duck had been boiled until only its skeleton remained.

Xiangxiang whispered, "It seems that Mr. Lin has really left, and the duck soup is just a cover to distract our master."

Smelly patted him, "Don't say a few words, didn't you see the face of the master?"

Wang Ji sat down beside Lin Yi's bed, the quilt was neatly folded, exuding a clean smell.

He pulled back the quilt and searched inside and out, not even letting go of the seams of the bed.Turns out a tooth was found under the bed.

He remembered that he threw Lin Yi's fallen tooth on top of the bed curtain, and at some point it fell under the bed along the gap, covered in dust, looking very down and out.

Inexplicably, Wang Ji felt that this tooth had the same disease as her own.He put his teeth away and turned the sheets again.

But I didn't find what I wanted.

A letter, or a note, even a simple farewell.Nothing at all.

Wang Ji sat slumped on the edge of the bed, an unimaginable despair welling up in his heart.He felt like a small boat stranded in the vast ocean, with no direction, no hope, only fear of the unknown and boundless loneliness.

Wang Ji buried her head in the quilt, like a baby yearning for its mother's embrace.

After one night, the smell of that person has dissipated, like the wind that can't be grasped, passing and losing all the time.

When Wang Ji raised her head from under the quilt again, his original look of nostalgia disappeared, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness.

He was wrong.

He has grown up, but he is still trying to act like a child to his uncle, wishing to show his enthusiasm in front of him, even if he is bloodied, he doesn't care.

From now on, he will not do this again.He wants to hide his heart in a place so deep that he can't see it, even if it is a dark wilderness where no one can go.

Why need to taste the authentic tea, the fresh tea leaves are full of dew, which just washes away the bloody smell between the lips.

He stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked his lips, his movements bewitching like a demon snake.

Then he stopped suddenly.

Because the water from the teacup is rapidly evaporating, as if the ocean dried up overnight, and soon, the teacup bottomed out.

Before He Xu could let go, the teacup was completely broken.

Some fragments from the explosion pierced his palm, and blood flowed out continuously.

Wang Ji put the sword around his neck, "Where is Lin Yi?"

He Needed looked at his injured finger and then at the sword on his neck, and smiled, "The milk baby has grown up, so he won't be called uncle anymore?"

Wang Ji's sword had penetrated into his neck, blood had already been seen, why should he start to feel severe pain.He has no doubt now that if he cannot give Wang Ji a satisfactory answer, he will kill himself the next moment.

"He's not here. If you don't believe me, you can find him yourself."

Wang Ji muttered to herself, her originally blue eyes were covered with a layer of gray, "If he's not here, where is he? I've searched many places, but I can't find him."

He You quietly moved the sword away from his neck by an inch. Seeing that Wang Ji didn't respond, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Has he left you? Why?"

"I don't know, he left suddenly."

He Su sighed on purpose, "Well, although I have a crush on Lin Yi, I can't compare to your affection for him. I didn't expect him to do such a thing."

Seeing that Wang Ji didn't speak, He You blinked and continued, "Lin Yi is the cloud on the other side that day, even if you warm him up by putting him in your arms, no one can stop him when he is about to leave."

"What do you mean by that?"

He Xu grinned in a strange way, "If you really want to keep him, you must use strong methods."

Wang Ji nodded in agreement, "What you said makes sense."

Just as He Xu let out a sigh of relief, Wang Ji swung the sword towards his face, and a bloodstain immediately appeared on He Xu's face.

He need to realize that his body could no longer move, he swallowed, "It's useless if you kill me, what's yours is yours anyway."

Wang Ji smiled slightly, "I won't kill you, I just want one thing from you."

"what?"

"your face."

He Xu's eyelids twitched, and he found that he couldn't even move his eyes anymore.

Two faceless men came to his side, they took out sharp knives, and cut off his face.

Xiangxiang and Smelly's movements were very skillful, but at Wang Ji's request, they deliberately slowed down.

Why should he feel a piercing pain, like ten thousand ants crawling on his face, and countless small needles piercing his pores, suffocating him to death.

Finally, the pain finally stopped.Why need to feel that there is something like human skin stuck to his face.

Wang Ji said contemptuously, "It seems that I don't need to kill you now."

He Xu suddenly felt a burst of fear, and he staggered to the edge of the pool.In the rippling water, he saw his own face.

Incredulously he leaned closer to some pools, and this time saw his own ugly face clearly.

This is definitely not my original face, this is——
