Chapter 11: Attacked
Rand and I walked into the hall together, and by this time the banquet had begun, and the hall was richly decorated with orchestra performances and a full of people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The info dinner was buffet-style, the dishes were very tempting, and the waiters serving wine shuttled through the hall from time to time. Aurilla and Red Ronald grinned as they walked over to us. Red Luo let go of Onira's hand and spun around in front of me: "Rosa look! Is my dress beautiful today? ā
I glanced at her, and although I didn't see any difference from usual, I said casually, "Hmm...... Today is really shining and beautiful. ā
Who knew that after listening to my words, Hong Luo became excited and kept pestering me, which was really a headache. After a while, I started to get annoyed by her, after all, who likes to be around a little kid all the time!
I looked around, and most of the people in the room were gathering in groups to talk, and there were also young men and women who were in contact with each other. It was probably seldom invited to such banquets, and Alexander was a little reserved, preoccupied with his own taste and did not dare to talk to others; And Gray also gave full play to his gentlemanly style, either shuttling between tables to taste all kinds of food, or hooking up with young girls everywhere, and he was very busy.
My eyes inadvertently met a pair of gray and black eyes, his owner was an old man in his seventies, he was holding a cane, still hunched on his back, there was not much hair on his head, his face was covered with a lot of age spots but still his eyes were blazing, his eyes were fierce and cunning, and he was not a simple character at first glance. Although he was only sitting in the chair next to him, his eyes never took off the various crowds in the hall, as if he was observing something.
Somehow, the moment I met him, I just felt as if there was a magic force that attracted me, which made my heart beat faster and I broke out in a cold sweat. Why would such a strange old man appear at such a gathering of young people? All of a sudden, the feeling of bad luck became stronger, and I felt that I was not in a good state. Luckily, he didn't seem to notice my gaffe much.
Hong Luo pinched me unhappily: "Rosa, what's wrong with you?" Why do you sweat so much in your palms? I reacted and took a deep breath to relax, but I wondered what was going on. Thinking of this, I almost subconsciously searched for Rand's figure in the crowd. He was talking to a few noble children, and I hurried over to where he was, and Hong Luo shouted unhappily behind me, "Rosa, you don't listen to me carefully!" ā
"Why are you here? What's the matter? Rand looked at me strangely.
"It's okay......" I was in a hurry just now, I felt my heart beat a little faster, and I took a glass of red wine from a passing waiter and drank it down.
"Look at you like that, are you so thirsty? Wine should be tasted slowly. Rand showed a helpless expression, and then suddenly became a little panicked: "Why are you sweating so much all of a sudden?" ā
Onila also came over: "Rosa, what's wrong with you?" ā
I waved my hand at them, only to feel that my mind was in chaos, as if it was mixed together, and gradually my body could not support it.
Rand tied his cloak over my body in the carriage and asked with concern, "Do you really care?" Why don't I send you back? ā
I glanced at the still lively hall and shook my head: "It's not a big deal, you better stay here, what about O'Nila's birthday party when we're all gone?" ā
"That's it, he's not a kid anymore, didn't he just drink a little wine and get dizzy, what's the big deal. Just let him go back alone, what else can he do? Gray, the white-eyed wolf, didn't want to think about who he could eat and drink here at all, and wanted to drive me away immediately, so he pulled Rand in the direction of the hall: "Rand, don't pay attention to him, let's hurry back to the hall, otherwise Aurilla will be in a hurry." ā
Rand looked at him helplessly, and whispered to me: "Then you should be careful on the way back, I will go back early today." ā
I nodded at him, then closed the door and told the driver to drive off.
The carriage drove through two streets, and there were no more people on the road. At this time, I hurriedly asked the driver to stop. The moment the car stopped and the door was opened, I finally couldn't help it anymore and fell to my knees and vomited.
The coachman looked panicked and hurriedly handed me water. I waved my hand, knowing what was going on.
Someone poisoned the wine I drank.
I knew it from the moment I had a fever all over my body after drinking.
Only my wine was poisonous, I don't know if someone was targeting me, but I knew that it was Aonira's birthday party, and I couldn't mess it up for my own sake, let alone cause panic, so I just held back and thought it was drunk and uncomfortable. But now I feel weak and sore, and even my consciousness is a little blurred. I tried to calm myself down. Suddenly, I heard the driver screaming, "Ah! āć I was trying to push myself to see what was going on, but I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, and then my eyes went black, and I didn't know anything.

When I woke up, I found my hands tied behind my back and it was pitch black. It took a long time to realize that his head was covered with a sack. The surroundings are not quiet, with the sound of people walking back and forth from time to time and the background sound of "da-da-da". What the hell is this......
Thinking about this, my head hurts a little again. The feeling of detachment in my body has not disappeared, and my brain is also heavy. I struggled to get to my feet, only to find that my feet were also tied. I don't know if it was because the movement was a little too big to attract attention, but I felt that someone was approaching me, and there were quite a few people listening to the footsteps, at least six or seven. I couldn't help but get nervous, and I quickly stayed still, pretending that I was still unconscious. But it was all in vain, and they seemed to have noticed that I was awake, and came up rudely to untie the sack that was on my head. The background sound of "da-da" is even stronger.
After a brief period of blindness, I finally had the opportunity to see the environment in front of me: it was a not-so-spacious wooden house, littered with miscellaneous items; I was shocked by the bloody scene in front of me: the ground was littered with corpses, all dressed as ordinary workers. Looking at the wounds on their bodies, most of them were killed with one or two knives. And the guys who kidnapped me were all big men with a tiger's back, and their faces were full of anger, which made people shudder. They were uniformly dressed and looked like bandits, but they were excessively disciplined. It gives people a deep sense of disobedience
Why did they arrest me? What good can it do them if they catch me? I pondered this question. But no valuable conclusions have been drawn.
When the bandit saw that I was awake, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he ordered his subordinates: "Take the medicine!" ā
Medicine? What medicine! My heart shrank suddenly, and I struggled to get up, forgetting that I was weak, and I fell to the ground.
This one, there is a problem. I was leaning against them in the corner, and there was a huge shelf leaning against me right above me. The shadow of the shelf was on my face, and the bandits didn't really look at me. And when I fell to the ground, the light shone directly on my face.
The moment they saw my face, the bandits' movements stopped. Then the head of the bandit stared at me carefully for a long time, and then suddenly slapped the thief next to him fiercely, and shouted: "You useless thing, you caught the wrong person!" ā;
