Chapter 91: "Prison"
"Click."
The prison door was opened, and the iron door of some years made a screeching sound. The prison consisted of a number of small cells fenced off with yellowed hay, and Ellie was very reluctant to walk into it, a place that no one liked to come to.
Ellie lifted her skirt and sat down on the haystack, and with another shrill sound, the door to the cubicle slammed shut. The two soldiers who had come with them bowed to Ellie and walked away. Ellie looked around, the space was not large, three meters long and wide, and the only light source was a small window in the wall behind her, about the size of a human head, but there were several steel rods embedded there, and it was really impossible for the head to stick out. And it has been cloudy for the last few days, so there is very little light coming in from the small window, and the whole prison looks very gloomy.
As she looked around, Ellie found that she was not alone in this terrible prison that seemed to be silent, and she could vaguely see the appearance of those half-dead people from a distance, as if they had been swallowed up by this dark place and become a part of this dark prison. And Ellie's dress is completely different from the atmosphere here, a white outfit is like a pure angel, but in the current situation of the girl, she is already just a imprisoned angel. Ellie's arrival didn't distract the old occupants in the slightest, and if it weren't for the occasional movements, Ellie would have thought they had been dead for a long time.
Lying silently on the hay, some musty smell came into her nose, making the girl frown. Suddenly, the sound of the door opening resounded in the silence of the prison, producing a continuous echo, and a sound of hurried footsteps, which could be said to be hurried, made Ellie's body sit up again, she looked up, her face flashed with a moment of joy, but when she saw the comer, she lowered her head again, silently hugged her legs, and buried her head in her lap.
The person who came walked in front of her, and the girl's series of expressions were seen by her, as her dearest sister, how could the girl's little caution be hidden from herself, she called out a little cautiously: "Ellie." ”
Ellie didn't respond, just tightened her hands.
"Ellie, is it okay to go back with my sister?"
"Sister Fiona withdraws her troops, and I'll go back." Ellie pouted her head and didn't look at Mia. Only by the side of the dearest sister will the girl play her own little nature.
"Then Ellie will go back with her sister first, and then we will talk to Fiona again?"
"Sister Mia, I'm not going to be fooled."
The girl's words gave Mia a headache, and when the child grows up, it will not work with the previous method, and it is no longer as easy to coax as when she was a child.
Seeing that Sister Mia was silent and didn't speak, the girl herself was a little embarrassed, but now she will not be soft in some aspects, the girl raised her head, looked directly at Mia and said: "I don't want Sister Fiona to continue, this war has taken countless lives at the beginning, war, it is the wrong choice!" ”
After Ellie said this, there was a moment of silence between the two. Mia looked at Ellie, and she could see in the girl's eyes that she had never felt before, unwavering, and that it was a will that would never change.
"Ellie."
After a long time, Mia broke the silence.
"Once a war starts, it will not stop unless the winner is decided."
"Sister Mia, are you just letting Sister Fiona do this?"
"I'm sorry, Ellie, I'm not going to stop Fiona from making any decisions." Mia pulled out a key out of nowhere, and rattled it in her hand, and she said to Ellie, "I know Ellie has grown up and has her own ideas, but no matter how different our opinions are, we are all family. ”
She retrieves one from the keychain and unlocks the prison. continued: "So, I will wait for Ellie's decision, and I am sure that Ellie will not disappoint her sister. Mia smiled at Ellie, but with a hint of sadness.
After that, Mia just left.
Three days later, the city of Deyun was breached, which Ellie knew from the soldiers who brought her food. But what's the use of this, Ellie doesn't know how to stop her sister, she has been locked up in prison, and even though the prison door has been opened by her sister, she still can't make up her mind, she doesn't know what to do. The prison with its doors open confronted her with an unprecedented problem. On the one hand, there are people close to her, and on the other hand, people who have nothing to do with her, it seems to be a very easy thing to deal with, but Ellie can't bear to watch those innocent people die in vain no matter what, she has never experienced this feeling of being dazed, this feeling of pale and powerless.
The only thing that has changed in the past three days is that there is no longer an empty prison next to her, and now there is a white-haired old man lying there, his hands and feet are trapped in chains, and as long as his body moves slightly, there will be a crisp sound. He had been locked in the previous night, and the reason why the girl knew so well was because the old man had been moving a lot when he was locked in. The old man struggled and roared angrily, "Tyrant! Butcher! Executioner! Then he was kicked into the prison by the guards. The unwilling old man immediately stood up and continued to shout, until after the guards left, the old man seemed to know that no one would listen to him again, so he simply became honest and lay down on the grass to sleep. In fact, Ellie had thought about chatting with the old man, but she still remembered the fierce look of the old man looking at her side, so Ellie didn't dare to speak, but from his angry shouting girl, she could know that the tyrant, butcher, and executioner he was talking about must be talking about his sister, thinking of this, Ellie couldn't help but laugh a little self-deprecatingly, because she also said the same thing about her sister three days ago, and then she was also imprisoned in this prison, but Ellie still didn't dare to laugh when she thought of the old man's fierce face. And it's already night, so Ellie simply lies down in the haystack and falls asleep, and this is one of the changes in Ellie in the past three days, losing the soft bed and warm quilt, resulting in Ellie not sleeping well at all in the first two days, and now, after these few days, even if she is lying on the musty haystack, Ellie can quickly fall asleep.
The girl woke up in a daze until noon the next day, when she came along, and a smell mixed with a disgusting rancid smell came, which made the girl wake up a lot. Because it was so disgusting, the girl had to put her hands on her nose to reduce some of the foul contact surfaces. This smell came from the neighboring prison, and the fragrance, Ellie also saw clearly, it was the meatloaf in front of her, the fried burnt surface was mouth-watering, and the people who watched it almost forgot the smell coming from the side, she knew very well that the food sent by the guards in the past few days was from Sister Mia's hands, which Sister Mia made for her with her own hands, full of the taste of Sister Mia's love.
Sister doesn't want to suffer here, Ellie sighed silently, she had seen more than once that the other prisoners ate food, all of which were just some coarse grains and dried cakes, and only she could have such a "superior" treatment. Pulling the plate with the meatloaf closer, Ellie thought wildly, but inadvertently asked about the smell, as a very good chef, Ellie's nose is very sensitive, of course, relative to food. She quickly found the source of the smell, it was the old man who came here last night, a plate with food, but Ellie was keenly aware that some of the food was moldy in some places, and the food on the whole plate exuded a strange smell. The old man, on the other hand, looked at the food in a daze, as if he had been thinking for a long time, and then the old man stretched out his hand and grabbed the utensils, and it seemed that he was ready to eat even something moldy. But the person next to him couldn't keep watching.
"Please wait...... Wait a minute! ”
