Chapter Ninety-Six: Leaving a Seal
As soon as the sound of the turtle paws sounded, the girls realized the danger ahead, and although they had not seen anything, everyone had already cowered back, and not one of them had stepped into the front of the house.
But the ranks of the tortoisepaws began to close, whipping and shoving, lining up the girls like eagles catching chickens.
The people in front were dragged in by their hair, and the people in the back gritted their teeth, and there was no way but to go inside.
There were already people waiting in the room, and Bai Ling turned around to see that none of the turtle paws outside had entered the door.
When all the girls came in, the men who were waiting in the house took over the guard.
One led the way in front, while the rest drove the girls to the steps that led to the ground.
It was a cool April night, but as soon as she entered, she felt a heat wave coming in her face, and she heard an eerie rumbling sound and metal crashing from underground—it was like a workshop.
After descending one step of stairs, the scene before him suddenly opened up, a craftsman was pulling a huge bellows, and opposite him stood a strong man with a sledgehammer, the two of them working together, looking like they were forging some kind of iron tool.
Beside them, the red flames in the furnace stained half of their faces red.
The girls all raised their hands to cover their ears, and the sound of the striking of these iron tools was deafening, and it hurt people's brains to hear.
Bai Ling frowned slightly...... How can there be a private workshop in the underground of Baihuaya?
Even though the light was still dim, Bai Ling could see that the people here were dressed differently than they were outside. The clothes on their bodies were much more elaborate than the coarse black robes of the turtle paws.
The front of these clothes had a complement, but the specific embroidery could not be seen clearly, and when he was close to the fire, Bai Ling saw a large "teaching" written in the center of their backs.
Bai Ling suddenly understood that the core industry of Baihuaya belongs to the Department of Education, so this should be a workshop under the Department of Education.
In this way, everything makes sense, such as why the turtle paw escorted them to the door and stopped, because strictly speaking, this is not a place for ordinary people to enter.
"The people behind are following!"
The person nearby shouted, and Bai Ling realized that this person's voice was a little thinner than that of an ordinary man, and she glanced at it - the man had no beard.
This is indeed the realm of the Sect Division!
As the line continued to move forward, a faint sobbing sound could be heard ahead, which sounded like a hallucination in the fierce thrashing.
At a corner, a palace man raised his hand and stopped the marching procession where Bai Ling was.
"Wait, the people ahead are not well." The man frowned and spoke, his voice very soft, "Don't rush in again, you can't carry it inside!" ”
The voice of the guide in front of him was a little dissatisfied, "Why is it not okay?" How many of them are there, as for the grind until now? ”
"Yo," the palace man who stood in the way rolled his eyes, "what are you throwing a tantrum here?" Why did you go earlier, why are you stuck today? ”
"It's not what I thought, it's not that the paperwork above has been dragging on, who would dare to do it in advance without the paperwork!"
"Then you go along."
The conversation between the two fell into the ears of the waiting girls, and Ai Songqing shook Bai Ling's hand with some fear.
"Don't be afraid." Bai Ling said softly, "It should be ...... There won't be any big danger. ”
Ai Songqing was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to ask Bai Ling why he was so sure, and the door in front of him opened from the inside.
"Bring three people in." A voice came from inside the room, "Not much! ”
The girls standing in front were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, they were thrown in with the back collar.
The wooden door slammed down - but it didn't lock up, and after a few bounces it closed, leaving a gap.
A moment of silence.
Everyone stared at the door, and then they heard heart-rending screams coming from inside—people couldn't see what was going on inside, only the girl who came in the door shouted "Don't".
"Run! Run! ”
I only heard the people inside scream, and the wooden door was opened from the inside again, and the girl who had entered earlier rushed out with her left shoulder covered, looking disheveled.
Almost as soon as she rushed out, she was caught by several palace people at the same time.
"Don't get tattoos......" The girl screamed, "I don't want tattoos—"
Tattoo......
Bai Ling didn't understand for a while, was it the "tattoo" she thought she had?
The girls looked at the scene in front of them in alarm, and did not understand what was going on inside.
"Buckle it up!" The palace people inside also chased after him, and he shouted, "The Sprinkle family warns you again, be well-behaved today, leave a tattoo, and the wound will be fine in a day or two; If you don't obey, just like the previous girls, pull it to the next door and go to the iron brand, the effect is the same!
Speaking of this, the palace man sneered, "But the red-hot iron soldering falls on the body, whether it can be good, when it can be good, but I can't say, when the wound is rotten, then it is called a person who can't survive and can't die!" ”
The crowd shuddered.
Only then did Bai Ling remember that when she first entered Baihuaya, she had seen the girls here with black tattoos below her left shoulder, near her heart.
Ah Li once told her that these are called "flower codes", in Baihuaya, but whenever you see a girl with a flower code on the street, it means that she is a woman here, and tourists can come forward to talk at will.
Sure enough, after hearing that they were going to get tattoos, more than a dozen girls instantly fell into a panic.
Seeing that everyone was rushing back like crazy, the palace people of the Teaching Workshop Division gave an order, and the guards with swords blocked the girls' way.
The palace man spoke sharply in front of the door, "Be content, girls." Check out the rest of the Division...... If you hadn't fallen on Baihuaya, then today's tattoo would not have fallen on you, but on your face! ”
"Bring people in," the palace man looked at the girl who had just been arrested nearby, "Don't toast here and don't eat and drink, do you hear?" ”
The girl was carried back into the house with a pale face, and the others began to cry.
Ai Songqing hugged Bai Ling tightly, trembling all over, almost fainting for a while, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Bai Ling patted her shoulder gently, "If it's just a tattoo, it really doesn't hurt, at most, you can't touch the water and take a bath for three or two days-"
Ai Songqing shook her head almost palely, she was crying breathlessly, and the green tendons on her forehead were slightly raised.
"If you have a tattoo, then this life ...... I can't wash it off! ”
