C572 Leave Him
Zhuo frowned as well. He didn't expect Jian Yi to know nothing about his past.
Zhuo couldn't help but feel his heart ache when he thought about how injured Jian Yi was when he saw him.
He squatted down and touched Jian Yi's head. He took a pen and wrote, "Have you lost your memory?"
Jian Yi looked at the words, then looked at him and Tali Linna. He carefully nodded.
At this point, this was the only excuse he could use.
Tali Linna raised her eyebrows and asked, "You don't remember anything?"
Zhuo wrote this on the paper again and asked, "What do you remember?"
Jian Yi thought for a while and lowered his head to write, "Alone in the wilderness, injured, wandering and beaten, starving."
Looking at the words he wrote, Zhuo sighed. He looked at Tali Linna and said, "Big sister, I know you are worried about Dong a lot. I can make a military order. If one day Dong does something wrong, I will kill him and apologize to you."
Tali Linna narrowed her eyes and looked at Jian Yi thoughtfully. After a while, she smiled and said, "No worries. Since you have recognized him as your younger brother, then take him with you. Can't I accommodate a child? Even if he really has something to hide, I have nothing to fear."
Hearing Tali Linna's words, Zhuo finally let out a sigh of relief. He knew that she had agreed to let Jian Yi stay.
Zhuo smiled and reached out his hand to knock Jian Yi's head. He said, "Stinking brat, Eldest Sister asked you to stay. Hurry up and thank Eldest Sister."
Jian Yi looked at Zhuo and then looked at Tali Linna. He seemed to be thinking about what he had said. It was only after a while that he came to a realization. He gave Tali Linna an exaggerated bow.
Seeing him put his palms together like he was worshipping Buddha, Tali Linna could not help but laugh. "That's enough. I am Yama King, not a female Bodhisattva."
Zhuo quickly said, "To Dong, Big Sister, you are really a female Bodhisattva."
Tali Linna hooked her lower lip and said to Zhuo, "You guys can go down. You are tired after walking all the way. Go and rest."
"Yes."
Zhuo led Jian Yi out.
Ha Mu saw the two of them walk out and said to Tali Linna in puzzlement, "Big sister, I see that Dong is very obedient and cute. Are you worried about him?"
Tali Linna smiled and got up to walk to the window. She looked at a new shoot that popped out of the flower pot and said, "Ha Mu, you don't understand. Sometimes, the most dangerous thing is not those known enemies. They are the most harmless people."
Ha Mu scratched his head and said, "Sister, I don't understand. If you are suspicious, why don't I investigate this kid's background? "
"No need." Tali Linna extended her finger, which was used to make the armor, and pinched it. She pinched off the tender shoot that had just popped out and sneered, "Just keep him. If there is really a problem, then... Just kill him."
The subordinates that she had recruited over the years were not completely loyal, but she did not care too much about it, because those who had ulterior motives had long been disposed of by her.
To her, those who harbored ill intentions but were incapable of killing her were just like these useless sprouts, which she pinched off without much effort.
Thinking of Jian Yi's pair of clear eyes, Tali Linna said again, "However, if he is really someone who can be nurtured, it is also a good thing to keep him. Sha Zhi did not have playmates and was also a little lonely. It is also good to keep him to accompany Sha Zhi."
Ha Mu smiled naively and said," Big Sister, you are really good to Miss Sha Zhi. "
"Hmm?" Tali Linna's fingers, which were stroking the green leaf, paused and turned to look at Ha Mu. There was a rare trace of doubt in her eyes, "I am good to Sha Zhi?"
Ha Mu was probably the only one who said she was good to Sha Zhi. Even Zhuo and Mosquito occasionally tried to persuade her to be more careful with Sha Zhi.
Ha Mu nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course. Big Sister, you are cold on the surface but warm on the inside. Although you usually look fierce, Ha Mu knew that you are the best to all of us. Especially to Miss Sha Zhi, although you do not know her by common sense. But Miss Sha Zhi's food and clothing were always good. Furthermore... Ha Mu remembered that there was once a brother who accidentally bumped into Sha Zhi. You even lost your temper. Also, that time... "
" Enough. "
Tali Linna suddenly spoke and interrupted Ha Mu with a cold voice," Don't say anymore. "
Ha Mu was stunned. He did not know why Tali Linna suddenly became angry.
Tali Linna pointed at the door and said, "Get out."
"... Yes. " Ha Mu didn't dare to disobey. He quickly turned around and left.
Wait! After Tali Linna was left alone in the room, she waved her trembling hand and broke the flower pot by the window.
The reason why she trembled was not because she was sad or anything else, but because she was angry, but because she was afraid.
That kind of anger and fear made her unable to control herself for a moment.
Ever since she adopted Sha Zhi, she had been controlling herself and would never allow herself to have any feelings for Sha Zhi.
She had also always done the same. Other than using Sha Zhi, she would never say anything to her.
But now, Ha Mu told her that she had always been very good to Sha Zhi.
Tali Linna asked herself, of course she was not good to Sha Zhi. It was only after Ha Mu's reminder that she suddenly realized that unknowingly, she had fallen in love with Sha Zhi that she should not have.
This made Tali Linna very angry. She was the one who was angry.
From the moment she decided to take this path, she had decided not to have any feelings for anyone.
Mo Jue was an exception. It was an exception that she was curious and expectant of.
Moreover, she already knew what kind of ending she and Mo Jue would have.
In fact, she was even looking forward to dying in Mo Jue's hands. That might be the best ending for her.
But other than Mo Jue, she didn't want to spend too much time on anyone else. She didn't want anyone else to become her weakness and weakness.
Especially Sha Zhi.
Sha Zhi's parents died in her hands, and this girl was very smart.
Although she could hide it now, sooner or later, one day... Sha Zhi would know the truth, and when the time came, they would fight each other. Sha Zhi could let go of her past feelings and hate her, but if she gave up her feelings... At that time, wouldn't she not be able to bear to make a move on Sha Zhi and die in her hands?
Thinking of this, Tali Linna hated her own incompetence.
She gritted her teeth and looked at the flower pots scattered all over the floor. She coldly snorted and walked out.
Ha Mu had been waiting outside the door. When he saw her come out, he could not help but say, "Big Sister..."
"Clean up the broken pieces in the room." As Tali Linna quickly left, she ordered in a cold voice.
"Yes." Ha Mu hurriedly nodded his head and replied.
When he looked up and wanted to ask where Tali Linna was going, he saw that Tali Linna had already disappeared.
...
In the dungeon.
Mo Jue looked at Tali Linna, who was walking over angrily, and asked, "Why are you so angry? Who provoked you?"
"Hmph." Tali Linna snorted coldly and opened the door to enter. She sat down in front of him.
After sitting down, Tali Linna did not say anything. She only closed her eyes and leaned against the wall. It was as if she was breathing in and out in seclusion, slowly calming her emotions.1
Mo Jue curled his lips and said, "I did not know that I still have the effect of calming my heart."
Tali Linna closed her eyes and did not open them. She just said coldly, "Mo Jue, you said that you will kill me with your own hands. Do you know how to count your words? "
Mo Jue did not know why she would suddenly mention this. He paused and nodded, "Yes, I do."
Tali Linna opened her eyes and turned to look at Mo Jue. She said seriously, "Then you must remember. Do it earlier. Don't let me die in someone else's hands."
Mo Jue was stunned. He reached out and touched Tali Linna's brow and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Tali Linna pursed her lips and sighed slightly. She leaned on Mo Jue's shoulder and said, "I told you about my daughter."
"The little girl whose whole family was killed by you?" Mo Jue smiled and said, "Of course I remember such a vicious thing."
Tali Linna reached out and pinched his waist hard. When she heard Mo Jue's gasp, she snorted and said, "Speak properly. I am not in a good mood right now. Be careful that I will beat you up."
Mo Jue smiled bitterly and nodded. "Alright. Anyway, I am a prisoner now. I can only listen to your instructions. Tell me."
Tali Linna hesitated and said, "Sha Zhi is very smart. She will find out the truth sooner or later. I have always told myself that I am only using her. But after listening to Ha Mu's words today, I realized that I am not just using her."
"En." Mo Jue nodded and said, "Of course. Who would bring gifts to someone they use?"
Thinking about the last time they met in Xiang City, the big and small bags Tali Linna brought, Mo Jue could not help but say.
Tali Linna's whole body stiffened and said, "I did that to give her some sweetness so that she can continue to work hard for me."
"Yes." Mo Jue nodded and said, "I think you have been hypnotizing yourself like this all along."
Tali Linna immediately shut her mouth and did not say anything.
Mo Jue thought for a while and said, "Actually, this is not a big deal. I have also seen the same thing."
"The same thing as me?" Tali Linna asked curiously.
"Yes, basically the same thing." Mo Jue said, "Do you know about the Mo Family's Mo Tine?"
"She is." Tali Linna nodded and said, "I know, but she is of no use to the Mo Family's three siblings."
Mo Jue smiled and looked at her and said, "She has a son called Mo Tong, the child of her ex-husband and his cheating partner."
With just this sentence, Tali Linna understood.
She frowned slightly and said, "You are saying that Mo Tine raised the child of her ex-husband by her side? Then wouldn't she hate that child to death?"
"Yeah, I hate him to death." Mo Jue nodded. When he thought of Mo Tong, he could not help but sigh. "I have seen that child before. He is smart, sensible, and very filial."
Tali Linna was stunned and could not help but think of Sha Zhi.
Similarly, the relationship that was maintained by hatred was avoided by adults, but children were also dependent and filial to adults.
