Chapter 9 The Island Is Strange

I don't know how many rains have fallen in the summer, the sun is still in the sky, the wind mixed with the rain and the rain falls to the ground, and the branches of the trees beat against the wall, rustling.

The dungeon was naturally dark, damp and cold, and the air was filled with the smell of old musty, and the group walked down the wooden steps, dusty and cobwebs. There are more than a dozen candles erected on the bronze bottle on the wall, 'whirring and whirring', and the tongue of fire flickers and darkens with the wind pouring in, and the figures reflected on the wall continue to pass by.

Shen Xiao and the others were stuffed into the cell door back and forth, and the water bandits scolded and quickly closed the big lock of the wooden fence.

"Stay in peace, don't give the whole moth to you!"

When the bandits left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and unexpectedly calmed down from their fear.

Shen Xiao reluctantly turned around from the corner, and looked around indifferently with sharp eyes: the dungeon was not spacious, and it looked much poorer than the prison of the serious government.

"It's over, it's all because I didn't stop Miss! If there are three long and two short, the eldest son will have to kill me when he turns around! The more anxious Chang Xi became, the more annoyed he became, and he angrily pulled the sturdy hemp rope tied in his hand, and he couldn't wait to bite it open with his teeth immediately, and then insert the pair of wings and fly out to save people.

"Miss Zhao seems to have been captured voluntarily, presumably she had planned to get out of the way." Shen Xiao saw Chang Xi's crying face and was about to collapse, and Shen Ling, the rabbit cub, flashed in his mind, and made up the knife lukewarmly: "Miss Zhao has a beautiful face, and she must know how to protect herself first in the wolf's den." ”

When Chang Xi heard this, he naturally thought of something in his mind, and his face turned white with fright in an instant, and he couldn't help choking. "Woo woo woo ......"

When he saw it, he took it away, Shen Xiao looked away, cleared his throat and said a human word: "Save your life, there is always a way to escape." ”

Chang Xi's girl seemed to have listened to the words, quickly wiped away her tears, and asked with a sincere face: "I see that you are not old and old-fashioned, otherwise, I will listen to you next?" ”

Shen Xiao looked away, and suddenly felt that he was in trouble, and his heart swelled with displeasure, but the harmless faces of humans and animals did not show any emotion.

The palanquin driver and the boatman, who had been sitting on the ground, were silent and looked over here, their eyes full of hope.

Shen Xiao's eyebrows couldn't help but rise: This group of people is really ...... If it weren't for the faint pain in his leg injury at this moment, he couldn't help but scold.

He took a deep breath, propped himself up and sat down against the wooden railing, and sighed almost inaudibly: "I can't do anything right now, I'd better rest and talk." ”

Chang Xi looked at him and guessed that he must have had a leg injury, and everyone was worried all night, so no one had a good rest.

"Okay, you sleep for a while, I'll wake you up if there's something."

Shen Xiao didn't want to speak, he pursed his lips and closed his eyes with a tired face.

"Why are you here?" A trace of stunned crossed Zhang Lie's face and quickly passed, with his usual impatience in his words.

"This island and this house are my home, why can't I come?" The woman who just called Zhang Lie was about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with a gentle green dress, red lips and deep skin, and clear eyes revealing unknown grievances.

Zhang Lie's face became a little embarrassed, and his tone became even more blunt: "Zhang Lan'er, what nonsense are you talking about?!" ”

Zhang Lan'er trembled, her eyes were wet and red, and she asked in a trembling voice.

"Why, I can't even speak here now? Zhang Lie! Hello no conscience! ”

Zhao Qingmiao was confused when she heard it, and she didn't know what kind of love-hate entanglement these two people had.

However, she felt that it was better to keep quiet. If the two quarrel, she may be able to escape while there is chaos.

Unfortunately, it didn't go as she wished.

Zhao Qingmiao, who was originally watching the play, suddenly felt that her center of gravity was unstable, and her left arm had been tightly held by Zhang Lie's iron tongs and dragged over with a strong force.

She stabilized her figure, and heard Zhang Lie leaning into her ear and saying proudly: "It's just that the old man is happy to do a happy event in the past two days, you are so good to do it." ”

When the words fell, Zhang Lan'er had red eyes, and her eyes were like knives, staring at the bitter master impartially.

Zhao Qingmiao secretly complained that she was wronged, and could only hope that the eyes of the woman in front of her would be better, and she could see that she was coerced.

Zhang Lan'er turned her head, wiped the tears that came out of her eyes with her sleeve, calmed down and said, "If you annoy me, you can take me off, you don't have to destroy me like this and make fun of me." You are terrible now, it is better to leave Qingchuan with your people! ”

"It's not boring to be long-winded!"

That Zhang Lie suddenly seemed to be on fire, and even pinched Zhao Qingmiao's arm white.

Zhao Qingmiao couldn't help but 'hiss' and scream in pain.

Zhang Lie let go of his hand, looked at her, and said to Zhang Lan'er angrily: "Don't make trouble, take this Miss Zhao down to rest, and prepare tomorrow to do this as soon as possible." ”

With that, he strode out of the door, his whereabouts unknown.

Before Zhao Qingmiao could move, two people quickly ran in outside, one looked at Zhang Lan'er, and the other untied her.

Zhang Lan'er took a deep look, lowered her head, and didn't say anything more.

They were led out of the hall by two of their men, and walked down the corridor for a while, and around the corner they came to a side room.

The furnishings in this room can be described as simple and clear, with a mahogany bed and a round table with a few stools. The west pane also has a thin wooden shelf, which is half-open and half-hidden from the light outside.

Zhao Qingmiao stepped inside, and before he could turn around, he heard the sound of closing the door. She turned her eyes and slowly turned around, and saw Zhang Lan'er looking at her expressionlessly.

"I didn't take a closer look just now, Miss is really a beauty. No wonder he likes it. ”

It's really full of vinegar, and there is a lot of resentment.

Zhao Qingmiao glanced at the two figures on the door out of the corner of his eyes, sat down on the stool and asked, "Are you his wife?" ”

Zhang Lan'er stared blankly, her eyes covered with a layer of rippling water. "You deliberately said that to stumble me?"

The woman who is jealous is really unreasonable.

Zhao Qingmiao blinked, twisted her wrist slightly, and said slowly: "Madam misunderstood, our boatload of people was good on the river, but in the middle of the night, they were robbed and sent to the island, and I have more grievances." ”

"Knock knock." The caretaker outside the house thought that he was afraid that the two women inside would fight like that, so he quickly knocked on the door to remind him.

"Madam, don't do it, we're afraid that we won't be able to explain it to the master when we turn back."

Zhang Lan'er suddenly became angry and annoyed, sneered, and responded: "Afraid? Have you forgotten that you are all children of good families on the island, and now you are a water bandit and robbing everywhere, but you have become less courageous? ”

The figure outside the house moved, and no one opened again.

Zhao Qingmiao listened to their conversation, her eyes sparkled and she began to calculate. The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, his waist straightened up suddenly, and he held his cheeks and asked, "I don't want to have anything to do with your man, I guess you too?" ”
