After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Tao Tao's heart beat faster and she nodded quickly.

Yi An closed the door and walked towards the bathroom, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ah Tao, the way she looked just now was really lovable, he thought to himself.

-

Only after confirming again and again that Yi'an had already started taking a bath did Xuntao dare to go in quietly.

Based on her understanding of Yi An's habits, he would probably take four incense sticks of time to wash. She had to get the key within this time so that Tao Tao would have time to escape.

Xun Tao and Yi An were standing next to each other, and there was a faint sound of water coming from inside. She did not dare to delay for a moment, holding her breath, and searching through the clothes on her cloak with her fingers.

In the bathroom, Yi An leaned against the edge of the bathtub, supporting his forehead with two fingers, frowning and smiling, looking at the water.

His long, inky black hair draped behind him, and the moonlight shone through the screen onto his face, making it half clear and half blurry.

Yi An turned his head to look at the door. Because of the light and darkness on his face, one could only see a slightly sinister smile on the right side of his fair face.

Xuntao would look at the door inside from time to time, and at a certain moment, their eyes met through the wooden door.

Fortunately, Yi'an put the key on the side of his waist. Xuntao held it in his hand and tiptoed out of the house.

She didn't dare to delay and ran to her room. Fortunately, the two servants had gone down the mountain to purchase things today, and Wenxin was asleep. But she didn't know where Zifei was.

Xun Tao took Tao Tao's bag and soon arrived at Tao Tao's room. When Tao Tao saw her, her heartbeat quickened.

"Xun Yan, how is it?" Tao Tao said in a low voice.

Xun Tao nodded, took out the key, and uncuffed her with trembling hands. Tao Tao's eyes suddenly turned red.

Xun Tao handed her the bundle and said, "I put some silver and food in it, and a dagger for you to defend yourself. There are no ferocious beasts in this mountain, but you still have to be careful."

Tao Tao took it, nodded heavily, and asked: "Xun Yan, are you sure you don't want to go with me? I'm worried about what Yi An will do to you."

Xun Tao shook her head and said, "Miss Tao, I know you mean well, but... I won't leave. Please go quickly and be careful on your way."

In fact, she was also very nervous, as if she was gambling that Yi An would not do anything to her. Her only bargaining chip was this face.

Tao Tao stood up and said, "When I see them again in the future, I will tell them not to attack you."

Xuntao smiled and nodded slightly.

Tao Tao waved to her for the last time, grabbed her bag and rushed out.

There was indeed a bamboo forest outside. Under the moonlight, the yard seemed small. Hidden in the bamboo forest, it was indeed difficult to be found.

Tao Tao had a good memory. She recalled Xun Tao's words in her mind. Holding up her skirt with one hand, her small figure quickly ran to the path in the bamboo forest.

She didn't dare stop or breathe. The wind made her face hurt. There was a humming sound in her ears, mixed with the rustling of bamboo leaves, like ghosts and monsters whispering among the howling of ghosts and wolves.

But Tao Tao completely ignored this fear. This fear was not even half as great as the one she felt when she was locked up by Yi An.

This road was not small, and it was not a problem for three people to walk side by side. The bamboo forests on both sides were dark. While Tao Tao was running away, she was still wondering if something would suddenly jump out from inside.

After running for a long time, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she stopped and held her stomach to breathe. Her legs were a little weak and she almost fell to the ground.

Tao Tao looked back and could no longer see the yard. If she continued walking, she would be able to see Nian Nian and the others, and A Qing!

In the courtyard, Yi An glanced into the house. The chains were on the ground, and the person had disappeared. He murmured, "A Tao, you really didn't hesitate at all."

Yian came out of the house slowly, his hair flying in the wind, and looked at the gate expressionlessly.

He tapped his toes lightly, and his hair and white clothes flew up. At this moment, his heart was filled with a mixture of anger and joy, and he didn't slow down at all.

In front, Tao Tao, who was still running desperately, suddenly felt uneasy. She thought to herself: Could it be that Yi An found out?

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace, looking back from time to time, and her exhaled breath turned into white mist.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Tao Tao's legs were shaking and she said to herself, "No, he might be catching up with us." She looked around and quickly disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Yi'an was walking back and forth between the paths, his white clothes fluttering in the wind. He seemed to be smiling, but there was a hint of frost between his brows.

Not seeing anyone along the way, Yi An raised his eyebrows and asked, "A Tao, where is she?"

In the bamboo forest, Tao Tao felt the blood in her body boiling and the sound of her heartbeat vibrated beside her eardrums. She covered her mouth tightly, trying not to make any sound.

Absolutely, absolutely, I must not be discovered by him! Tao Tao thought to herself, and hid behind the bamboo bush again.

She hoped that Yi An would not find her. She was in the dark and Yi An was in the light, so the chances of not being discovered were quite high.

Sure enough, Yi An stopped where he was, and after a while, he turned around and left.

Tao Tao didn't dare to take it lightly. Maybe he went to look for him somewhere else, or maybe he didn't leave at all.

After waiting for a long time, Tao Tao finally came out quietly from behind, holding the bag tightly in her hands and stretching her neck to look outside.

She was completely unaware that behind her, the white figure had no breath and was silently looking at her back with a curled lip.

Tao Tao stopped because her back was cold and her hands and feet were a little cold.

She paused for a moment, then immediately ran away.

Yi An was stunned at the back and said with a smile: "A Tao, is your reaction so quick?"

Tao Tao just realized that there was someone behind her, or maybe it was a ghost. She was too lazy to think about it and just ran forward.

After running a few steps, Yi An flew in front of her, spread his hands, and said, "A Tao, have you had enough of hide-and-seek? If not, I'll accompany you some more."

Tao Tao's chest heaved up and down, her breathing became more rapid, and without waiting for him to get close, she ran back into the bamboo forest.

She ran, and Yi An chased after her. Compared to her nervousness, he seemed much more relaxed. He ran to her side and smiled at her. Tao Tao didn't want to see this face at all, so she had to stop and said sternly: "Can you please let me go!"

Yi An walked towards her and said with a smile: "A Tao, don't you want to play? I'll play with you."

Tao Tao's eyes were red, and she angrily said, "Who wants to play with you!" Seeing that he was still approaching, she pointed at the ground, kept backing away, and shouted, "Don't come over!"

Yi An stopped and said, "A Tao, it's cold outside, come back with me."

Tao Tao sneered: "Who wants to go back with you? Can you please stop haunting me like this?"

Yi An said with a smile: "I was playing with you, why did you haunt me? Tao, who helped you escape?"

Tao Tao gritted her teeth and said, "No one is helping me. If you were locked up by someone you don't like, would you want to run away? What do you think of me? I'm not your pet!"

Yi An's face darkened, there was no smile in his eyes, but his mouth was still upturned. He said, "A Tao, you misunderstood me. I never thought of it this way. In my heart, you have only one identity, and that is my wife."

"You're sick!" Tao Tao cursed angrily.

Yi An sighed softly, his tone was like coaxing a child, "A Tao, come home with me, let's go."

As he said this, he reached out to pull Tao Tao, but Tao Tao unexpectedly did not resist and was pulled into his arms.

Yi An hugged her waist and said distressedly: "A Tao, you are so cold."

Tao Tao closed her eyes and the thing in her hand slowly approached his abdomen.

Her voice was particularly soft: "Who wants to go home with you? You are not worthy of saying such things."

As she spoke, she thrust the dagger at him, but instead of feeling the impact as she had imagined, she was stopped by a force.

Tao Tao widened her eyes in horror and took a step back. Yi An held the front end of the dagger in his hand and slowly raised it, taking Tao Tao's hands with him.

Blood flowed out from his fingers, dripped onto the ground, and was absorbed by the soil.

Yian laughed twice, which was particularly creepy in the moonlight.

Tao Tao was already stunned. He easily snatched the dagger away and threw it to the ground.

Yi An looked at his palm and frowned, "It's bleeding." He spread the wound on his palm to show Tao Tao, "A Tao, I'm injured because of you, aren't you sad?"
