Chapter 135: Red Flower Warning
The stone room has no windows, no sun and moon, no day and night, only the lit candle flame faintly illuminates this strange and dark place.
"You're imprisoned, aren't you?" Zhao Xian smiled bitterly, "But it's better than being a girl in the garden." It's just that how can Ah Yan and the others find the 'Paradise of Extreme', and how can they find this place where the light of day is gone? Zhao Xian began to worry again.
After eating, she sat back on the bed, and quietly found out what Qingqing secretly stuffed into her hand before leaving, it was a roll of paper, Zhao Xian covered it with her sleeve, slowly unfolded and smoothed the crumpled paper, and looked at it by the not-so-bright candlelight, and after just one glance, her brows immediately wrinkled.
A flower was sketched on the paper in bright red grass, which was the poppy that Zhao Xian saw in the garden that day, and the red flower was extremely dazzling in the dim light.
"Poppies!" Zhao Xian silently recited several times in her heart, "Is this reminding her of something?" Red represents a warning, is this warning related to poppies? Zhao Xian's brows furrowed more and more.
Mei Niang said that she was "unlucky" in a pitying tone before, as well as Qingqing's sympathetic gaze.
I can't help but think to myself, what is worse than being a girl? Thinking of this, Zhao Xian's heart "plopped" straight up, and she always felt that it would not be so simple for her to be locked up here.
After about a few hours, the iron door outside the stone room rattled again, a small door opened under the door, and a food box was stuffed in, and a cold voice sounded outside: "Put the food box back at the door when you are done, and put it over if the commode is full." ”
Zhao Xian heard the sound of the door, walked a few steps towards the door, and before she could reach it, the small door "snapped" and was closed from the outside.
Zhao Xian walked to the door, looked up and down, and then reached out and knocked on it, and found that the door was extremely thick, and he couldn't shake half of it at all, so he had to helplessly pick up the food box on the ground and walk back to the table.
Being locked up here, where does Zhao Xian still have an appetite, but she just thinks that if she doesn't eat, she will have no strength, so how can she talk about it? Thinking of this, she opened the food box, which contained two side dishes of meat and a vegetarian dish and a bowl of rice, which was also quite exquisite.
It's just that...... Zhao Xian thought about it, touched the silver hairpin on her hair again, pulled it off, tried each of these meals, looked at the hairpin carefully under the lamp, and found nothing unusual, so she breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that their habitual actions were actually superfluous, if they wanted to kill her, it would only be in a matter of seconds, so why bother to lock themselves up and poison them?
The food was unusually delicious, Zhao Xian ate half of it hastily, put the lid of the food box at the door, and sat back on the small bed to continue thinking.
It was early summer outside, and the heat of summer was not reflected in the stone chamber, and the shade of the chamber indicated that the stone chamber was built or underground.
After thinking about it for a long time, she finally couldn't think of any clue, but Zhao Xian became more and more energetic, and she didn't feel sleepy, and she didn't know what time it was.
I don't know how long it has been, Zhao Xian has already delivered more than a dozen meals outside according to the calculation of delivering three meals a day, that is, four or five days have passed, plus the two days that he has been in the garden since he was taken captive, he has been here for about six or seven days?
Hearing another door knock, Zhao Xian hurriedly got off the bed and was about to walk to the door to inquire about a few words, suddenly dizzy, she sat back on the bed again, and after a few big breaths, she reached out and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, feeling weird again.
In the first two days, she was in high spirits and unable to sleep, but in the last few days, she is no longer in high spirits, but often dizzy, covered in cold sweat, and in severe cases, even wrapped in the thin quilt on the bed, she feels chills. At this time, there was no need to look in the mirror, and she also knew that she must be pale.
This is......? She glanced at the food box at the door, and her brain exploded with a bang! Suddenly remembered Qingqing's warning with a painting, it turned out to be ...... I see! She staggered and collapsed on the bed.
Himself, he has become their "guinea pig"? Zhao Xian closed her eyes and lay on the bed and thought angrily,
It's strange that Mei Niang would say that sentence that night, and she didn't understand its true meaning until this moment.
In my own era thousands of years later, ecstasy, white powder, and cocaine were often mentioned, and the symptoms after taking them were slightly similar to my current symptoms, but in this era, this thing was ignored by myself.
Zhao Xian slowly closed her eyes, no longer got up to get the food box at the door, and only lay straight on the bed, no longer silent.
When the food box for the next meal was delivered again, he found that the food delivered at noon had not been touched, and the person outside the door made a strange "huh" and pushed the new food box in, and the person also approached the small mouth and looked in.
She saw Zhao Xian lying motionless on the bed, and there was no undulating breath in her chest, this person hurriedly stood up, took out a string of keys around his waist, hurriedly opened the door, and pushed in with a "bang".
She ran to the bed in three steps and two steps, and saw Zhao Xian's extremely pale face at a glance, lying straight on the bed without breath, she was shocked, and was busy probing Zhao Xian's snort with her hand, and after probing, this person's face also changed greatly, and he hurriedly leaned his head against Zhao Xian's heart to hear if there was still a heartbeat.
At this time, Zhao Xian's eyes opened suddenly, and the right arm beside him was slightly raised, and the moment the person raised his head, his fingers flicked, and a wisp of powder was accurately flicked into the person's nose.
There was no surprise, just for a moment, the man fell down softly, Zhao Xian gritted her teeth and touched the door, closed the door, and then returned and dragged the person to the bed with all her might, and then Zhao Xian no longer delayed, panting and unbuttoning her shirt.
After a while, the door was opened again and then locked again, Zhao Xian put on herself in the coat that she had plucked from the previous person, and looked left and right, only to find that this was a long corridor, and there were rows of stone rooms on the side of the corridor, there were as many as seven or eight rooms, and the stone room she was in was at the end of the corridor.
Fortunately, there was no one in the corridor at this time, so she settled down and walked towards the exit of the corridor.
After walking about 100 steps, she heard the sound of rushing water coming from the front, she was happy in her heart, walked a few steps quickly, until she stopped under a stone step, Zhao Xian looked up, and saw that there were about 20 steps of this stone step, and the sound of water came from the top of the stone steps.
Zhao Xian was drenched in cold sweat at this time, and her whole body was weak, just walking under this stone step, she had to work hard, how could she walk so many steps at this moment?
But if I don't leave quickly, the consequences will be unimaginable. She plucked the silver hairpin on her head again, looked at the tip of the silver hairpin, gritted her teeth, and finally pierced her arm hard.
A tingling pain regained her will, and when she looked down at her arm again, the blood flowed, and she took out the jade pendant from her waist again, pressed it hard, and saw a small opening exposed, she gently poured out some powder and applied it to the wound, and the blood instantly coagulated.
It's just that before she could praise her senior brother's medicinal powder for its use, a loud shout came from above her head: "Who are you?" ”
Zhao Xian secretly screamed that it was not good, and she was discovered!
