Some chaotic images are constantly jumping in front of my eyes like a projector, desperately comforting myself, this is all an illusion, this is the terrifying atmosphere that the brain has created for itself, the terrifying feeling, don't listen, don't think, don't feel, just don't exist.

It's cold.

Li Jicai was wearing the clothes of the maid of Qifu, three layers, in fact, it was not very thin.

Ruoli was a little surprised when he first saw her, because no one from the Qi Mansion had ever come to the dungeon.

Those who are able to come to the dungeon are special people, and they will eventually be secretly executed and buried.

In fact, Ruoli not only wanted to serve Qi Qingchu, but was actually ordered by Emperor Gao De, who was sent to Qi Qingchu by Emperor Gao De, and drove him at will.

It's just that Qi Qingchu feels that he is not suitable for coming forward at will, and his strength is very strong, if he is just used as a guard, it will be overkill, so Qi Qingchu specially opened this dungeon just in case, and take some abnormal actions when necessary, and the care of this dungeon is Ruoli.

Ruoli guards this dungeon without regrets and never leaves much, and accordingly he also protects Qi Qingchu's safety.

The dungeon is cold all year round, he is used to it, and it is basically a crime to be able to come to the dungeon, there is no need to provide them with food and water, as well as bedding and other things.

Qi Qingchu didn't plan to lock up Li Jicai for a long time, he just wanted to teach her a lesson, tell her not to be so arrogant, not to try to provoke him, at least he didn't want her to die now.

But apparently, Lee Ji-chae did not give in so easily.

So, at this moment, she huddled in this corner and starved and frozen, waiting for the dawn.

Although, there is no dawn in the dungeon.

Li Jicai thought that the dawn was when Ruoli appeared.

The walls were bricks, with iron shelves on three sides, empty and empty, except for a heavy color like ink that could not be dissolved.

There was a dead silence around them.

It was in such an environment that Li Jicai gradually fell asleep cold.

When you fall asleep, sometimes you dream, sometimes you don't, although it is often said that you dream day and night, but this is not necessarily accurate, is it?

Li Jicai dreamed, Qi Qingchu naturally appeared in the dream, she dreamed that Qi Qingchu came over with a pot of flowers to apologize to her, although she didn't know why, she wanted to hold a pot of flowers, the pot of flowers did not bloom, only green leaves, wide and fat, maybe it was a flower, Li Jicai thought.

At the beginning, it was an apology, in front of him was Qi Qingchu's impeccable face, delicate and elegant, her eyes were open and she was looking at her intently, the world was overshadowed, the rivers and lakes were churning, and the fierce beating heart seemed to be about to jump out.

However, as soon as the picture turned, there was a scene in front of Li Jicai where Mrs. Fan was holding Xiao Erhei, Mrs. Fan closed her eyes, her face was miserable and white, Xiao Erhei was beaten all over, This person and a dog walked slowly towards Li Jicai, Li Jicai was subconsciously a little scared, and wanted to retreat, but behind her was a dead end, and there was nowhere to escape.

She shouted loudly, shouting their names, and asked them to stop if she wanted, to stop the footsteps that came towards her, and she was afraid that she would panic and she would be overwhelmed.

Is this a dream? Or is this the reality, she doesn't want to see this, no, no, no, it's definitely not true, it's not true, it's not true, it's not true.

Seeing that, Li Jicai watched their bodies pass through his body, as if transparent, through his body, through the wall, without looking back, and disappeared behind the wall.

No, no, no, don't go, don't go, don't go!

No, no, no, stop, you come back and look at me, I'm Li Jicai, I'm Li Jicai!

But the untouched walls, with nothing on them, nothing on them, no one looked back.

What does this mean?

Li Jicai was a little frightened, was she awake? Or is she in a dream?

I don't know, I want to open my eyes, but it seems that something is desperately dragging me.

I'm so tired, my head hurts, it's so uncomfortable.

What's wrong? What's wrong with her......

After Li Jicai was imprisoned for a day and a night, Qi Qingchu, who had rested well, finally remembered and wanted to go to see her situation.

As usual, before entering the dungeon, he called Ruoli out.

Accompany him to see Li Jicai's situation.

Ruoli felt a little strange, the dungeon is easy for no one to come, and the people who come are basically very important people, or traitors, or great evildoers, and have never come to such a seemingly harmless little girl, Ruoli suspects that this Li Jicai is not simple, and it is likely that there are some means behind it, so according to the conventional practice, he just hangs her like that, anyway, he will not starve to death if he just hangs it for a day.

Qi Qingchu didn't ask Ruoli how he treated Li Jicai, he originally wanted to warn Li Jicai to make her suffer a little this year, stop being so arrogant, stop messing around in the room next to her, if she still wants to live.

Lit the candles in the dungeon, in the aisles, and the glimmer illuminated the dungeon.

The eight iron framed cells are sturdy, with black metal exuding luster, there is no wind in the corridors of the dungeon, the candle flame is very stable, and it does not flutter, and naturally it will not add to the terrifying atmosphere, if a little girl stays here, she will definitely be afraid, maybe Li Jicai knelt at his feet like the last time she begged him to let the dog go, and then begged him to let her go.

It's okay to let her out, Qi Qingchu has to pretend to think about it, after all, he didn't think about it at first, and he had to embarrass Li Jicai.

However, when Ruoli opened the cell, Qi Qingchu saw the scene and felt that his eyes were also stung.

Li Jicai curled up into a small ball, hugged his knees with both hands, buried his head in his chest, and pressed against the wall tightly, without moving.

It looks like some, pathetic.

"Li Jicai." Qi Qingchu called her, but received no answer.

"Li Jicai." Qi Qingchu shouted again, but still ignored him.

Qi Qingchu wondered if Li Jicai was deliberately pretending to be dumb and pretending to be dead again, this was her usual trick, every time he approached, Li Jicai would suddenly make a move, and then come to scare him, he was used to it.

At this time, Ruoli suddenly said: "The smell of blood." ”

The smell of blood? What is the smell of blood? What do you mean?

Hearing this, Qi Qingchu suddenly became a little anxious inexplicably, took two more steps and walked to Li Jicai's side, and then went to help her shoulder.

Pushed, Li Jicai didn't move, his body was cold and cold, and there was no heat at all.

"What's going on?" Qi Qingchu turned his face and said to Ruoli, if it wasn't for his order, no one in the dungeon would be allowed to die.

Ruoli also walked over, and then checked up and down slightly, as if assessing something, and said after a while: "High fever, it should be infected with wind and cold, and the blood comes from her fingernails pinching the palms of her hands." ”

"Sick? Not long ago, I just ate it, why did I get sick again? Qi Qingchu frowned and said, he doesn't like Li Jicai **Jing very much, it doesn't conform to her usual habits, she should be arrogant and noisy, unscrupulous against her, and always surpass her verbally.

It shouldn't be so quiet and look lifeless.

"She's afraid of the dark." If you say that under normal circumstances, if a prisoner becomes like this, and if he acts of self-harm, there is no other reason than to be afraid of the dark and everything in the dark.

What's more, everyone is afraid of the dark, especially in an unfamiliar environment, let alone a woman?

"......" After Qi Qingchu was silent for a long time, he planned to throw Li Jicai to Ruoli like this, but when he thought about it, he felt hesitant, after all, in the dungeon, it was extremely cold, and men couldn't stand it, let alone women.

In the end, he really sighed helplessly, lifted his sleeves, squatted down, passed his hands between Li Jicai's neck and legs, and then hugged her.

Li Jicai is thin and small, not very heavy, so there is no pressure to hold it.

Qi Qingchu picked up Li Jicai and walked outside the dungeon.

Ruoli felt a little abrupt and a little strange, so he couldn't help but stop him: "Childe, what do you mean by this?" ”

In the past, no son had ever taken the initiative to take anyone out of the dungeon.

"She can't die just yet." Qi Qingchu stopped, he had already walked to the door of the cell, paused and then threw down his sentence.

"This little illness will happen if you leave." If he hadn't given up, he would have known how to do it, and this little injury was nothing.

There are often all kinds of problems in the dungeon, and if you are far away, you can basically solve them, let alone a small wind chill like this.

What's more, basically no one is brought out of the dungeon alive, which is not in accordance with the rules.

And it's only been a day, and Childe took the person out, and this kind of exception made him feel a little uneasy.

"It's okay, she's still useful, I'll take it first, and bringing the dungeon is just a warning to her." Qi Qingchu didn't want to explain too much, he didn't need to explain his behavior, but maybe he found a reason for himself to feel at ease, or maybe it was self-comfort, what to comfort? He couldn't tell.

At the beginning of the year, Qi Qingchu didn't have many words to communicate with Ruoli, but he explained a lot for Li Jicai, in fact, he didn't have to do it.

There is no need to do this, he is the master, and Ruoli is the subordinate.

This Ruoli felt even more strange, who is this woman Qi Qingchu? Why so much concern?

However, Qi Qingchu didn't give Ruoli another chance to ask, and he had already taken the person out.

If the high fever does not go away, it is very troublesome, Qi Qingchu was infected with wind and cold when he was a child, and it took several months of intermittent treatment to get better, he didn't want to see Li Jicai lingering on the sickbed for so long.

Two days ago, the doctor gave her such a heavy medicine, and it was all packed in food, and she didn't notice it when she ate it.

Qi Qingchu didn't feel that she had spent any hard work, but simply felt that she was not a bad person.

There is a special private doctor who takes care of Qi Qingchu, all year round, and he is usually very low-key, Qi Qingchu easily did not call him over, but this time he made an exception for Li Jicai.

He can't let Li Jicai die in his house, after all, now he has reached an agreement with Li Jiye, Li Jicai will be raised in their house for a period of time, and he will naturally go back after the limelight passes, and what Qi Qingchu wants to take from Li Jiye, he hasn't said it yet, Li Jiye doesn't know that his true identity has been mastered by others, and the person who has mastered it is Qi Qingchu.

After Qi Qingchu carried Li Jicai back to the room, she felt that the smell on her body after being locked up in the dungeon overnight was dirty and smelly.

It's definitely going to be freshened up.

But there were no women at hand, and he was always surrounded by men, not women.

What should I do?

He can't wash her in the bath, can he?

No matter, first find someone to boil hot water, then splash her up with water, and then drag her up to take a bath by herself.

Someone prepared a large wooden barrel and put it in his own room, although he had never bathed in his room before, this was the first time, but the family did not hesitate, and obediently did so.

Because the son doesn't go out very often at home, even if he moves a big wooden barrel in his yard to bathe, it is extremely normal, although they don't understand why they don't go to a good clean room.

Soon, after the hot water was boiled, the people carried the small wooden barrels filled with hot water in turn, and then all of them were poured into the large wooden barrels, dizzy, the heat continued to emit out, and buckets of hot water were continuously transported in, and if the water was cool, the process was enough to take a bath.

Qi Qingchu found another clean set of clothes that he hadn't worn yet, thinking that he would change them for Li Jicai later.

Although he also wanted to find another woman's clothes for her, it was still a little inconvenient at the moment, and he had to wait until after dark.

After he dismissed all his subordinates and asked them to stay as far away as possible, and when what needed to be done was done, he took out Li Jicai who was hiding in the corner, and then threw it directly into the big wooden barrel with hot water ready.

Because he was holding his anger at her in his heart, his actions were a little rude, and he threw Li Jicai into the big wooden barrel and stirred up the splash, which also splashed his clothes, and he was slightly embarrassed.

Qi Qingchu took two steps back, and then looked at the situation in the barrel.

After entering the bucket, Li Jicai was washed by the water and sank.

Qi Qingchu was a little stunned, why did he sink down?

Shouldn't you wake up with a rush of water? He wanted her to get up and take a bath by herself, so now that she has fainted, who will take a bath?

You can't just keep soaking in a bucket.

But Qi Qingchu didn't know that Li Jicai had been completely frozen and unconscious, where could he be sober when he was thrown into a bucket and washed by water.
