Chapter 122: The Cage
The clouds are rolling and the sky is as clear as a spar, and the sky is bright, but there is no ray of sunshine.
This is a mountain forest, surrounded by mountains and a flat land, stands an exquisite hut, surrounded by trees, a stone road leads to the outside of the mountain, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, quiet and deep.
"Knock knock."
In front of the hut, a beautiful girl sat on a stone bench grinding herbs, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, she thought that she had been working for a long time, and the sore feeling from her body made the girl clench her teeth, and from time to time she looked back at the hut, but she never dared to stop her movements.
"The last medicine has been found, and my research is about to succeed."
"I didn't expect to go out this time, and my luck was so good, so I picked up a person who tried the medicine for nothing."
From time to time, a man's ecstatic laughter came from the hut, and the hideous voice and murderous words made the heart of the girl outside the hut contract tightly, and her face showed a look of fear.
The heart beat faster, the movements of the girl's hands were also quick, and the herbs were added one by one, and then they were ground into foam, and the girl poured the developed herbs into the potion pool beside her, then stirred well, and then continued to pound the medicine.
Time passes slowly and imperceptibly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening, the clear blue sky darkened, the white clouds turned into dark clouds, the gentle breeze was replaced by the cold evening breeze, and the birds returned to their nests.
"Da Da...."
Suddenly, a sound of horses' hooves sounded at the end of the stone road, and the girl hurriedly ran out of the hut happily and greeted her, in the eyes of the girl, a young man in purple rode a horse, holding a sword in his hand, and he knew that he was a person who practiced martial arts.
"Brother."
After the young man in purple dismounted, the girl walked over quickly and shouted loudly, her eyes were full of joy, her father was too strict with her, and only her brother could still feel a trace of family warmth.
"Aunt Xiu."
The young man in purple tied the reins of the horse, and then touched the girl's head with doting eyes, so that the girl's originally supple black silk became a bird's nest, but this girl named Xiugu didn't care, leaning on her brother's chest with a happy face.
After the brother and sister met, the young man in purple took his sister Xiugu and walked towards the hut.
"Daddy."
After entering the house, the young man in purple shouted to a middle-aged man sitting at the table, and then stood aside with his sister without saying a word, and their father's stern indifference made them fearful, and they never dared to speak loudly in front of him.
"You're back, are things done?"
The middle-aged man put down the herbs in his hand, took the basket containing the medicine on the table aside, and asked without raising his head, his son didn't have a trace of mood swings when he came home, he was really indifferent to the extreme.
"Three death row prisoners have been bought."
The purple-clothed young man said in a low voice, looking a little nervous, and he didn't even dare to look at the middle-aged man, nodding his head and looking at his toes.
"Didn't I ask you to buy at least five, you only bought me three, how can three be enough to test the medicine, ah! I can't even do this little thing, it's a waste! ”
After listening to the words of the purple-clothed youth, the middle-aged man was immediately furious, his face was full of hideousness, his eyes were full of anger, and he pointed at the purple-clothed young man and asked loudly, without considering that the person in front of him was his son.
The young man in purple shrank his head, not daring to answer, and the girl on the side was already so frightened that she was about to burst into tears.
"Forget it, I won't care about you, the wolf beast medicine has been made, you go to the cave to see if that guy is awake, if he wakes up, give him food, let him nourish his spirits."
After the middle-aged man scolded angrily for a while, the sullenness in his heart also dissipated a lot, after all, it was his own child, and it was impossible to kill him for this matter, although his heart has always been very hard.
"Yes."
The purple-clothed young man bowed his head and answered, then pulled his sister and walked out quickly, seeing this, the middle-aged man just snorted coldly in his nostrils, even his own children were just tools he used, and he didn't care about family affection at all.
……
It was a dark cave with an iron cage large enough to hold a dozen people to lie down and sleep, but at this time, there was only one person in the cage.
"Huh."
Looking at the chains on his hands and feet, and then at the iron cage made of stainless steel above his head, he couldn't help but let out a helpless wry smile, and when he woke up, he found that he was locked in this iron cage, he had tried to break the chains on his hands and feet, but when he tried, there was a soft feeling on his body.
"Poisoned."
Arrogant knew that he must have been rescued by someone, and was given a new poison, Hades were killed, if the original poison on his body had not been lifted, then he would have died a long time ago, Hades San's poison was solved, but his limbs were weak, so there was only one explanation, he was poisoned again.
"I didn't expect that I just escaped from Hades and was caught by the imp again, this luck is really..., alas."
Looking at the light burning on the cave wall, his proud eyes were a little trance, he had been in this world for twenty years, and it had always been smooth sailing, but one day when luck ran out, he finally encountered the first crisis in his life.
"Stompe."
A sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave, and the proud heart beat violently, his face changed slightly, and he quickly turned to look in the direction where the footsteps came.
A young man in purple and a beautiful girl walked in.
"You're awake."
The girl looked at Aojie and said in a crisp voice, her eyes widened, and there was a trace of compassion in her innocence, and Aojie felt as if she was not looking at herself, but at a person who was about to die.
"Who are you? What is this place? Why are you locking me up? ”
There were many doubts in his heart, and when he saw someone appear, he immediately asked, he urgently needed to know the answer now, and his eyes were full of endless doubts when he looked at the young brother and sister in purple.
"You're very weak now, don't talk too much, since you've woken up, let's cultivate well, Aunt Xiu, go and prepare a meal for him."
Xiu Gu was about to answer the arrogant question, but was preempted by the young man in purple, knowing that he was not good at answering the arrogant question, the young man in purple avoided answering the surname, and after speaking, he pulled Xiu Gu to turn around and walk out of the cave.
"Brother, why don't you let me speak?" Xiu Gu asked suspiciously.
"Say what? Could it be that his father brought him back and locked him in that cage? Do you want to test him on medicine? ”
The purple-clothed young man asked rhetorically, in fact, he was quite opposed to his father's actions, but after all, it was his biological father, and he couldn't help it, filial piety came first, which was ingrained in the minds of the ancients.
Half an hour later.
The bowl in Ao Despair's hand contains rice and meat, full of color, flavor, and even a fragrant smell of ginseng, which is a great tonic.
"Eat, anyway, I'm already meat on someone's chopping board, at least I won't be a starving ghost."
Since you send such a good meal to yourself, it shows that you still have value for them, it takes strength to escape, it takes time to think about it, and you can only do it when you are full.
There was silence in the dark cave, and only the sound of arrogant chewing still echoed.
