14. Be diligent and don't ask where the slave returns
It was already two days before I woke up again.
In these two short days, Yiyou's life suddenly fell from the clouds to the bottom.
She had to accept this life because reality did not allow her to say no. At first, there would be expectations, she was looking forward to her father coming to her, Sister Chunyi coming to save her, they took her out of here as if they had fallen from the sky, but for a day, two days, three days, no one.
There was no one to save her at all, her hopes were disappointed again and again, and her disappointment intensified again and again, so that later, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, because she was afraid that she would be completely disappointed in the world, even hopeless.
She even suspected that maybe her father and mother didn't want her anymore. But no matter which one it is, it doesn't matter anymore, because she slowly understands that no one will come to save her, she won't be let out, she may have to live her life in this dirty, cold and damp stone prison, and all this is just because she overheard what she shouldn't hear and saw what she shouldn't see, but who can blame her?
She gradually figured out the habits of the people in this dark room, and the people in the dark room were all strange people, either Jiang Yang thieves with unique skills, or cult demons who killed people without blinking, or killers or something, after all, they were all people with bad names and notoriety.
They were all accustomed to sleeping during the day and exalting themselves at night for the pleasure of torturing people, and there had been many people who had suffered the same thing before the woman. But whoever comes in here should not think that they can still get out. Such a terrifying place would be at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the mansion of a man with a head and a face in the capital, she really couldn't understand the deep meaning of Uncle Lu and his locking himself here.
But the dark room is not full of bad people, such as the old man, he actually has no ill will towards you, he just wants to find someone to accompany him, and the reason why he did it is mainly because of Yiyou's attitude towards him at the beginning.
Yiyou's attitude of resistance to him just because of a face stung him, a disfigured face that he didn't want to see, let alone face it bravely. It was a scar in his heart, and he blamed her for revealing it, so he hurt her, and he really didn't mean to.
For several days, Uncle Lu did not come back, but every night someone would bring food for her, and she lived in the dark room, becoming silent, less speechless, and distracted by the cold wall. She hardly touched the food sent by her uncle, not that she was not hungry, but she could not eat, no matter how hungry she was, as long as she remembered the thick blood flowing on the ground, she no longer had the appetite to eat, and it was useless to force herself.
"Eat some, kid, what are you going to do like this?" The old man persuaded.
"Hmm." She nodded and took the bowl he handed her.
She understood his kindness and didn't want him to worry, so she barely ate a few bites and couldn't eat anymore.
But as long as she thinks that not long ago she was still a county lord who was well-dressed and ignorant of the world, with a bright future and endless glory and wealth, suddenly she had to live in such a dark world, living a life of no one and no ghost, eating these foods that were not even pig food, and it was not so easy for anyone to accept, but what could she do if she didn't accept it, she didn't have the right to say no at all.
In the past, she relied on the love of her parents and the protection of her uncle and aunt, and she would never have thought that there would be people in the world who lived as humble as ants. In her previous life, she was too high-minded, which made her too self-righteous, thinking that she could accept their kneeling with peace of mind with the identity of the county lord, but she never thought that one day, without her father and uncle, she was nothing at all, and no one would listen to her, the county lord.
The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, she really missed her father and Eniang, Zhenxue, and she also missed the dim sum in Nangong's mansion and the noodles made by Eniang. Her chewing slowed down, and one or two tears fell into the bowl, mingling with the cloudy vegetable water, and disappeared without a trace.
The old man touched her head and persuaded, "Eat more." Seeing that Yiyou had eaten so little, he couldn't help frowning.
Yiyou shook his head slightly, "I can't eat it." ”
Skipping meals for several days made Yiyou's body very weak, she felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to sleep for a while.
He reached out to test the temperature of Yiyou's forehead, and asked, "Are you hot?" ”
Yiyou shook his head and curled up beside him, "It's a little cold." ”
He sighed, "Well, it seems to be a fever." ”
Yiyou heard him say this, and hurriedly comforted him, "Grandpa, it's okay, I'll just sleep." ”
He said to himself, "How can you do it without seeing a doctor!" ”
Yiyou whispered in a daze: "E-Niang........."
His body trembled slightly, and he heard his inaudible sigh, which was blown away by the wind in the cool night.
"I'll take you home and see your mother." In the dream, someone answered her like this, and she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, and there seemed to be the sound of chains in her ears.
In the middle of the night, she was woken up by two voices.
"Scorpion, don't stop me, even if I die today, I'm going to go out to see her."
"You don't want to live anymore, do you?" His voice was still as cold as it was.
"Scorpion ........." Grandpa's voice was a little more helpless.
"If you win me, I'll let her go."
Someone gently placed her on the ground, and her hand touched the cold chains on his body.
She was half-awake and half-dreaming, trying to open her eyes to see, but she couldn't do it.
There were all sorts of sounds coming from her, and her ears were buzzing, and she had a splitting headache.
She heard someone say, "Why are you doing this?" ”
"She's so young, she's the same age as my granddaughter, she shouldn't be here to endure this." It's grandpa's voice.
"Forget it, you go, go out and don't come back."
Grandpa seemed to be back to him, he seemed to be injured, and he walked a little unsteadily, and she took great pains to see if there were any wounds on his body, and she couldn't see Grandpa's face clearly against the light.
He gently lifted himself and said, "Let's go, grandpa will take you home." ”
Yiyou said with a vague "um", but his voice was choked.
The secret door seems to have been opened, it is Uncle Lu.
He clapped his hands and laughed: "What a wonderful scene!" As soon as the words changed, he said coldly: "Bat, is this how you repay me?" ”
Grandpa was silent, but he didn't let go of his words.
Uncle Lu said: "Let go of her, I can act as if nothing happened." ”
Yiyou grabbed the clothes on her grandfather's back in fear, and her grandfather patted her on the back, signaling her to rest assured, and then said firmly: "Today, I must take her away." ”
Uncle Lu suddenly laughed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Neither of you can leave." ”
Grandpa ignored what he said.
Uncle Lu gave the man named Scorpion a look, and Yiyou hurriedly shouted, "Grandpa, be careful." ”
Grandpa just turned around to avoid the fatal blow of the scorpion, but suddenly fell to the ground, and looked back in surprise, only to find that his eyebrows were three silver needles that flashed with cold light, which directly pierced the skull.
Uncle Lu sneered, "It's really thanks to you!" ”
Yiyou looked at his lifeless grandfather on the ground in disbelief, and couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
He muttered, "Grandpa? He didn't move. She crawled over with her hands and feet, hugged his arm, and cried out as she shook it, "Grandpa? Grandfather! Wake up! Grandpa ......... "There were tears on the ground, obscuring her vision.
Uncle Lu pulled her up, gently brushed away her tears, and said softly: "Yiyou, go back with Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu will take you home, okay?" "Home? Do you just want to take her home now?
Not only did she not feel half grateful, but she hated him even more. She won't forget that it was he who threw herself in this ghost place for so many days and didn't pay attention to it, it was he who killed the only bat grandfather who was good to her here, it was him, it was him, it was him. It was because of him that her life would be turned upside down. She hated him.
Yiyou looked at him hatefully, beat him hard, and bit him with his mouth to hold her hand.
He let go in pain and shook her off.
His brows furrowed unhappily, and he said sharply: "Scorpion, give me the red flower spell!" ”
The scorpion remained motionless and repeated, "Red Flower Spell? ”
Yiyu didn't notice the strange look on his face.
"Well, bring it." He urged.
The scorpion repeatedly confirmed: "There is only this grain in the world, you have to think clearly!" ”
Uncle Lu's face had a look of impatience and said, "I know." ”
The scorpion slowly took out a small bottle from his bosom and said, "I don't know what to expect?" ”
Uncle Lu's face sank and said, "How many women do you want, I'll send them to you tomorrow." ”
The scorpion waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not enough, do you want to change the safflower spell with a few women?" It's a little too cheap. ”
Uncle Lu sneered and asked rhetorically, "Then what do you want?" ”
The scorpion pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not greedy, I want all of your properties in Jiangnan, this request is not too much, right?" You probably know how precious the Red Flower Spell is, and if you don't want to, I think there are still many people in the world who want to get it. ”
Uncle Lu paused slightly, and said coldly: "I can only give you a quarter." ”
After thinking about it for a long time, the scorpion reluctantly agreed. gave the small bottle to Uncle Lu and said, "I still say the same thing, think carefully before using it." As he spoke, he glanced at Yiyou with some sympathy.
Uncle Lu sneered: "No need, it couldn't be more suitable for her." As he spoke, he opened Yiyou's mouth and tried to pour a crimson elixir from the bottle into her mouth.
Hearing them say that, the saffron spell is certainly not going to be a good thing. Yiyou struggled desperately, trying to spit out the pill, but how could Lu Fangyuan get her wish, his hand clamped her jaw tightly like pliers, making her unable to move at all, so she had to let the medicine be sent into her mouth by him.
Seeing that Yiyou swallowed the medicine, he was relieved and let go with a smile.
