Chapter 123: Regaining the Light
We finally used Yuan Jue's key to open the iron prison, and Yuan Jue carefully escorted me inside, afraid that the crazy woman would suddenly pounce, and we moved slowly almost against the wall.
She saw us open the door, just standing there and going crazy, and didn't attack us directly or anything. Keeping a fixed distance, we swam along the edge of the wall to the bed, Yuan Jue turned her back to me, stretched out her hand to guard against her, "You go and see." ”
When I first opened the door, I was also afraid that Yiqiē was not as simple as expected, and that this woman would suddenly go crazy and pounce on us. But she seemed to be just standing there, looking crazy and talking nonsense, but she didn't move, and when she heard Yuan Jue say that, I leaned down and pulled away the straw under the bed.
Little by little, I pulled out all the straw that was piled under the bed.
It turned out that under the bed, there was a door, like a secret passage in a secret prison, but this door was still locked.
Yuan Jue handed me the key in his hand, and I bent down again and crawled under the bed, trying to use the key to see if I could open the door again. Unfortunately, the door hidden under the bed could not be opened by the key we have now.
Suddenly there was a feeling of deflatment, in fact, think about it, a key can open the door of the entrance to the dungeon, and the door of the dungeon is almost the same, if even the door in the dungeon that seems to be a secret passage can be opened, this key is too versatile.
"Nope." I crawled out and handed the key back to Yuan Jue, and he and the woman were staring at me waiting for me to tell me the result. But this result must not be what they expected.
The woman was a little disappointed, and she leaned against the railing, whining like crying.
"What now?" Yuan Jue also ran out of ideas.
In that case, "Come, take a hand, and help me move this bed together." ”
"What are you going to do?" Although Yuan Jue asked so, he still helped me to move the wooden bed that was simply set up and slowly gave up enough space. Just under the plank bed. A locked door came into view. The door wasn't big, it was a boxy size that could be drilled out of by a man.
I glanced back at them, and then reached out to summon the sycamore blossom in this dream, by my fingertips. A purple color spreads. With an intoxicating aroma. A sycamore sprig burst out of the purple and scattered towards the lock, and the sycamore branches crawled all over the small iron door. Full of sycamore flowers. In just a moment, an iron door suddenly disappeared.
The door blocking our way was gone. A path hidden behind the door appeared. "Let's go."
The path behind the gate was limited in height and width, and if we wanted to get through the path, we had to crawl out on the ground little by little. Yuan Jue said that he wanted to try it first, so he was the first to climb out of the path, and I stopped in this dungeon and waited for him. Inadvertently, I found that the woman was quietly waiting for Yuan Jue to bring back the news.
Noticing that I was looking at her, she hurriedly avoided my gaze and looked around aimlessly.
"What the hell are you afraid of?" I was puzzled, "We're going to get out right away, have you ever wondered where you're going to go after escaping from this dungeon?" There has to be a place to stay, as soon as the next time the people who bring you food come in, they will find out that you have run away, and at that time, they will start looking for you everywhere, chasing you, and you can't have no purpose at all. ”
She seemed to make a very soft sound in her throat, but she didn't know what she was talking about, and after a long time, she didn't react anymore.
This is really, how can the rescued people not care about their own safety at all. According to her state, even if she escapes, it will be a matter of time before she is caught by the people of Chengfu, what is the use of escaping or not escaping, and if we really escape from the secret passage this time, she will be caught again, I am afraid it will not be as simple as just imprisoning her again.
"Is your home, your family, in the city?" I tried to ask her, "Do you remember where your previous home lived?" ”
Since I'm going to run away with her, I can't leave a madman on the street. At least in her current situation, she must also be handed over to her family, someone who can take care of her normally, lest she fall into the hands of the family again.
"Home...... Family...... ......"She seemed to understand what I was saying, but she kept muttering the word in her mouth, and she couldn't say anything, according to her situation, what should I do next."
Just thinking about it, Yuan Jue came back.
"How?" I asked hurriedly.
Yuan Jue nodded, "You can go out, the end of this secret passage can lead to a dilapidated house on the street outside, I have seen it, that house seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and there is no one." ”
"Then let's go." In this case, what are you waiting for, I said to Yuan Jue, "You are in the front, I am in the middle, let her follow us and slowly climb out." I think she should have done it. ”
That being said, I looked at her uncomfortably. "Follow us and climb out together, you know? If you are tired, you have to crawl out, and after you climb out, we will accompany you to find a safe place to hide first, and then make plans. ”
After all, no matter what you say, she is also Cheng Jing's biological mother. However, whether it is or not remains to be considered, but now there may be only one option to rescue her.
We just climbed out one by one.
This secret passage is very long, compared to the secret passage we entered into the dungeon, I don't know how many times, it turned out that it was because Yuan Jue climbed out alone just now, and it would take so long to climb back and forth. We don't know for sure when the next person who will bring her food will arrive, so we can only hurry up and leave before then. I looked back at her a few times, and although she was tired and still a little crazy, she whispered something as if she was whining, but fortunately she kept following, and occasionally she slowed down in the middle of the way, but if we slowed down a little, she could follow.
Just like Yuan Jue said. At the exit of this secret passage, in a house that seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, I crawled out of the secret passage, and then turned around to pull her, it was just an instinctive movement, but she dodged as if startled, I realized this, and withdrew my hand. She slowly crawled out of the secret passage.
Everybody is a bit of a wolf.
Yuan Jue looked a little better than the two of us, "What now." ”
yes, what now? I just thought about coming out together. Now it's coming out. But what will you do when you come out? If there were only me and Yuan Jue, it would be okay to say, the key is that we still have to take her with us.
I pushed the door open, "Look." It's already dark. ”
Oh, yes. It's already dark. Oh no, the person delivering the food must have noticed that she wasn't in the dungeon, as long as the man called for it. It's not hard to find out the secret of our escape. If you stay here any longer, it will only be more dangerous.
"Let's get out of here first." Yuan Jue said.
She suddenly walked up to us and looked up at the dim sky.
What's going on?
I walked up to her and looked at her, her expression a little elusive, frowning slightly, her eyes closed, and two lines of tears sliding down her cheeks.
With her crazy appearance now, it's really weird.
"Are you okay?" I asked her nervously, worried if she suddenly felt free to regain her daylight, so she was a little sad. It's hard to describe these experiences of hers, but after all, so many years have passed, and it is more important to live than melancholy.
Instead of answering my words, she moved her legs, which seemed to be less proficient, and walked out.
She stood in the courtyard, still looking at the sky, her throat sounding like a low sob. After a while, she lowered her head and walked out of the courtyard.
"Follow her." I said to Yuan Jue, and then we followed her out together.
It was too dangerous for her to come out like this.
She took us around the city, and then stopped in front of an ordinary house near the city gates. She stood in front of the door, looking up at the door, crying and unable to speak.
"Why did she stop here?" I asked Yuan Jue, although he may not know, but what does Mrs. Chengfu have to do with such an ordinary family? She'll be here as soon as she escapes, which is a testament to how important it is to her.
But is she really not looking for the wrong place?
After all, she had been locked up in the dungeon for a few years, and it was very likely that the outside world had changed in the past few years, maybe the people who had lived here had moved away, or maybe she couldn't remember where the family she was looking for was now.
Just as she was thinking, she stepped forward and pushed the door open.
I pushed the door open so easily.
How come?!
I watched her walk in recklessly, for fear that she would cause something to happen again. hurriedly followed, and didn't even care that Yuan Jue was behind him to stop him, Yuan Jue lost his temper, muttered something, and then came in.
Approaching the courtyard, as soon as he saw what the situation was, Yuan Jue blurted out, "What, no one lives at all." ”
Indeed, it looks like no one has lived in a long time. The middle of the courtyard was covered with thick cobwebs and weeds, and the doors and windows of several rooms in the courtyard had long been tattered. An inexplicable desolate feeling came to her heart, she stood in the courtyard and looked at this qiē, suddenly fell to her knees, covered her face with her scarred hands, and finally cried out in pain.
What's going on? She didn't feel like she was in the wrong place, where the hell was this.
"Before starting a family, my wife is said to have done business in Yaocheng, which is 200 miles away from Mucheng, and it seems that her family is well-off." Yuan Jue was obviously shocked by the scene in front of him, but I could only hear him say silently.
A wife before starting a family? Isn't that her? Isn't she the lady of Chengfu who went crazy after giving birth to Cheng Jing?
Her family is doing business in Yaocheng? So why is she crying so much here now?
It seems that there is something that I thought wrong from the beginning. "Now, what to do?"
The way she is now, even if she's not crazy, I'm afraid we won't be able to ask anything. What's more, she has been crazy for so many years, and it is not possible to cure her in a moment and a half and let her speak.
What to do now, I really have no idea, so I can only look at Yuan Jue helplessly.
Yuan Jue turned his head sideways to look at me for a while, sighed, and finally compromised. "Since there is really no way to do it now, there is only one person who can take her in temporarily."
I think from the look in his suddenly less interested look, I probably had an idea of who he was talking about.
Sure enough, what he said was Won Hyuk.
We waited in this courtyard for a while, and Yuan Jue found a carriage and came back. I could only spell her again, put her to sleep, and then we dragged her into the cart, and the carriage galloped away.
After a jolt, it stopped. The carriage had already entered through the back door of the Wonhyuk Mansion, and we stepped down from the carriage and ran into the long-awaited Wonhyuk.
"Second brother, this is?!" is also a teenager, Yuan He is naturally not as foolish as Yuan Jue, he is calmer than Yuan Jue, but he was frightened by Yuan Jue's reckless approach.
After I stood still, I looked around for a while, and it was no different from years later.
When I first entered Mucheng, I was first helped by Yuan He, and lived in his mansion for a few days, so I naturally remember that he once said that he was the only prince who lived outside the palace. But he didn't expect that when he was so young, he left the palace and lived outside.
But also, it is much more comfortable to live alone outside than to live in a weird place like the palace.
It was only after looking at it for a week that he came back to his senses, only to find that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and after Yuan He asked a question just now, Yuan Jue did not answer him, and the two brothers fell into a stalemate again.
"By the way, this girl, if I'm not mistaken, I seem to have seen you last time, and I haven't asked you yet?" Yuan He was not surprised by Yuan Jue's behavior, and changed the topic by himself, he was very old when he spoke at a young age.
"I'm Neon." Naturally, I deliberately ignored the impasse caused by Yuan Jue, and pretended to be okay and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but the woman in the car is now a little dangerous, and she is being tracked down, and I really can't find a place to hide her." ”
Although Yuan Hyuk couldn't see anything, his tone was clearly a little concerned, "Is something wrong?" ”
"I was embarrassed by this ......, and I didn't know whether to tell him about starting a family."
"You don't care about it so much. Now go and ask someone to clean up a clean room for us to live in, and then let someone invite a trustworthy doctor to ......" Yuan Jue was not in the mood to talk to him slowly, and commanded with a big grin.
Before he could finish speaking, I slapped Yuan Jue on the back of the head, "Can't you talk to your brother properly?" Now we have something to ask him for help, how can you do it with such an attitude? ”
Yuan Jue was immediately stunned, shocked and angry.
Yuan Hyuk lowered his head and smiled secretly, but he was also generous. (To be continued.) )
