28. The Castle Passage I
They said they wanted her to escape, but it was a thirty-minute drive from the nearest place where she could take a car, so how could she get out of here? She sat by the window of her room, looking out the window at the still brilliant violet. "It seems that 'eternal charm' means 'timeless' charm." She looked at the suitcase that had been organized, and then at the window at the sky that was gradually turning a light blue.
"The blue violet flower language is vigilance." A crunchy voice said.
The so-called silver bell-like voice is such a timbre, right? Who's talking? She followed the sound and saw a little brown-haired boy lying on the railing of the balcony next to her, smiling at her. She suddenly realized that the little boy was speaking to her in Chinese just now. "Little brother, are you talking to me?"
"Of course!" The little boy smiled and said, "I don't know why I have to put some inexplicable words on the flowers, but it's a big project to have a string of words for each flower." ”
The blue violet flower language is "vigilance", which would be a warning to those who put it here to live carefully? - Please, who can understand such vagueness?!
"If you want to get out of here, I know how to get there." The little boy held his chin and smiled.
"How did you know I was leaving?" She looked strangely at this little boy who was as delicate and cute as a doll.
"Because there's nothing here that I don't know." The little boy smiled sweetly, "Now that Mr. Xuanyuan here doesn't know the secret passage, I can tell you that as long as you go there, you can get out of here." ”
"Mr. Xuanyuan? Isn't the owner of this place Mr. Joseph? "Why is it "Xuanyuan" again? Is this "Xuanyuan" and that Xuanyuan Su a family?
"Joseph. Xuanyuan, I hear the name is a half-breed. The boy said, "How?" Do you want to hear how to go through the secret passage? ”
The little boy gave her a very strange feeling, but she couldn't tell what was strange. "Yes, please tell me."
"Well, you're polite, I like you." The little boy nodded, smiling innocently, "Listen carefully." ”
*********
The little boy didn't seem to live in the next room, and she hadn't seen the boy appear in the hotel in the past few days. Did you just come here today? But the little boy seemed to know the structure of the castle very well. Forget it, whatever, the priority now is what will happen at night, how will she get out of here, if she doesn't leave now, maybe one day she will become a vampire and be used as an experimental sample to try their N kinds of potions here.
During dinner, I didn't see Wang Chunxi, nor did I see Murrow. It seemed that no one she knew had come to dinner. "Miss Shi." Henry came over and poured her red wine, "Tonight's herb-roasted lamb chops are very good. ”
"By the way, I didn't see Wang Chunxi - the woman who troubled you that day." She asked tentatively.
"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention either, maybe that guest is planning to eat in the room? Tonight, there are a lot of guests who have asked to eat in their rooms. Henry said, "Do you need to come to her?" ”
She quickly shook her head, "No, I still prefer to have a quiet dinner." ”
Henry respectfully stepped back.
It's a little strange, according to Qian Yi, there is a banquet from eleven o'clock to one o'clock in the morning tonight, why didn't anyone come to inform her? Is it selective? How are those who don't need to be present housed? Eleven o'clock is not necessarily the time when everyone sleeps, like she has always slept after twelve o'clock. Even if you fall asleep, you will probably be woken up by having a banquet below! She was thinking messily while cutting lamb chops, when a person walked up to her table and looked up, it turned out to be Qian Yi. "Money steward." She greeted politely.
"Is dinner still to taste?" Qian Yi asked gently.
"Very good." Qian Yi didn't come here just to ask her how she felt about dinner, right?
"Someone will bring you a bedtime drink later, don't drink it, or you won't be able to wake up tonight." Money is easy to keep your voice down.
She was about to grab the red wine glass for a meal, and when she wanted to ask clearly, Qian Yi had already walked away to greet the others. Indeed, every night after coming here, the hotel waiter would bring a glass of hot milk, and there seemed to be black tea or wine in the other rooms, which seemed to be a free service of the hotel - so it seemed that this service was to be able to "refill" the drink at any time, and she suddenly worried that she had been unknowingly treated as a white mouse.
Sure enough, the night's bedtime milk arrived. "Miss, I'll help you collect the cup later." The waiter said.
"Hmm." They're coming to collect the cup to make sure the guest has already drunk the drink, right? She closed the door and poured the milk into the toilet, yawning and handing the cup to the waiter when he returned. Seeing a meaningful smile on the corner of the waiter's mouth, she was a little glad she didn't drink the "added" glass of milk - God knows if the sleeping pills in it were specially made!
I looked at my watch, and it was eleven o'clock in five minutes. She heard a bustling crowd downstairs and guessed that the party attendees had entered. The little boy told her that the entrance to the secret passage was in the hallway leading to the basement, and that she had to go down the stairs in the lobby to get there. She carefully pushed the door open, and there was no light in the hallway, only the light that came in through the window vaguely outlined the furnishings in the hallway. I wonder how many people here are like her who haven't been invited to the banquet?
"Hey." Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder.
Her heart pounded, and when she looked back, she could see the appearance of the person by the dim light. Isn't this the little boy who told her the secret passage today? "It's you." She exhaled, almost scared out of her illness by the girl, "Do you know that people can be scared to death?" She muttered.
"Who says it's 'human' scary?" The little boy said briskly.
This seems to be a bit of an off-the-beaten-track sound. She looked at the little boy strangely, "Won't your parents be worried that you ran out so late?" It's long past the time for the little ones to go to bed. ”
"It doesn't matter." The little boy smiled and said, "I'll come and see if you can find your way." ”
"What are you looking for?" No way? Could it be that this little boy also knows about the "banquet" tonight?
"Oh, don't be so curious at your young age!" The little boy patted her on the head with a ghostly face.
"At a young age"? She stared at the little boy who was less than her chest, wondering if this little boy had a misunderstanding of the "little age" in Chinese? "If you don't say it, forget it." She just asked casually, but the other party didn't want to say, and she didn't bother to dig deeper.
The little boy smiled sweetly and jumped up and down the stairs.
