Ling Xin listened to the footsteps outside, hurriedly finished eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and slept with clothes.

This night was very peaceful, originally he was worried that Liu Rumei was going to find fault, but he never thought that the other party had no such plan at all, he was vigilant at the beginning and slowly fell asleep.

Just after the child, he suddenly opened his eyes in the dark, and then crept up, through the moonlight, he could vaguely see the two maidservants outside the door were guarding the thunder, so the road out of the door seemed to be blocked.

His gaze turned to the room, what was so strange about that hot spring pool?

He crept cautiously against the wall to the back of the bed, and after a few more steps, he couldn't see anything in the pitch black, but he could feel the heat rushing to his face.

He stood still, letting his eyes adjust to the darkness for a moment, and everything in front of him spread out in front of him.

On both sides of the hot spring pool are two paths made of blue bricks, which allow one person to pass through.

Considering the pain he felt last time, he immediately threw the pebble in his hand into it.

The crisp sound of pebbles entering the water shattered the eerie silence.

He hurriedly listened attentively, but fortunately, the maidservant outside did not hear any movement.

But then there was a strange gurgling sound in the pool, a bit like the sound of insects crawling on dead branches and leaves.

His eyes widened, and the strange voice quieted down, but something floated up.

He took a step forward, trying to see what was coming up, but the pain of gnawing at flesh and blood immediately kicked in, his face was pale and he trembled in pain, and an even more strange sound came from the darkness.

The screeching dull sound of something dragging on the ground.

"I can't help myself. ”

The voice of the old man came faintly at the end of the darkness.

He immediately rolled backwards with all the strength of his body, and the pain miraculously disappeared immediately.

Ling Xin immediately expected that the things here must have something to do with the poison that Liu Rumei had given herself last time.

When I got closer, I started to attack, and the pain in my heart made me almost want to hit the wall, but it disappeared immediately after taking a few steps back.

He didn't have time to think about it so much at the moment, just stared vigilantly at the shadow that was gradually revealing in the darkness.

It was a man, but he was like a child.

The man flew and landed beside him, with unkempt silver hair and eyes that looked like falcons, sharp and unusual, and it was the old woman who saved him that day.

"It's ...... you"

"What, the pain last time wasn't enough for you to remember?"

Ling Xin looked at the old woman, and was shocked to find that her shoulder blades were actually pierced by a long iron chain, so the harsh sound just now was made by the iron chain dragging on the ground?

But seeing that the old woman's expression was calm, and there were no blood marks on her shoulders, it seemed that the chain had been with her for a day or two.

"Who are you?"

"I—who am I?"

The old woman seemed to be stimulated by this sentence, and suddenly disappeared ghostly, followed by a chilling laughter echoing through the room.

"Who I am, no one has asked me that question in years. If you don't ask, I'll lose sight of who I am. ”

Ling Xinzheng felt strange, it seemed that she was imprisoned by Liu Rumei, but her ability didn't seem to be able to trap her with this iron chain, could it be that she was poisoned?

Is this weird old woman in front of her friend or foe?

As he pondered, the old woman swooped down on his side again, and her talon-like hand snatched his wrist in a brutal manner.

"Heh, it seems that this girl Jinse is now more and more capable, and she actually uses such means. ”

"Jinse?"

Ling Xin repeated, it was the first time he had heard the name.

The old woman snorted disdainfully: "It seems that you don't know her identity yet, the little princess Jinse, who was once the favorite of the king of Southern Xinjiang, went to Dazhao at the age of eight." ”

"You're talking about Liu Rumei?"

"Could it be that you are the Yasukuni candidate?"

After speaking, she patted her head and said with a foolish smile: "The apprentice I brought out is very smart, but I heard that Yasukuni Hou is wise and martial, and he has also fallen into such a situation." ”

Ling Xin probably knew the identity of this old woman.

"Since you are her master, why are you chained, the scenery outside is so good, but you can't get out at all, let alone dirty and smelly, not even as good as being called Hanako. ”

As soon as the words landed, he immediately took a few steps back vigilantly, he didn't want to fall victim to the old woman's madness.

"Your name is Hanako?

The old woman suddenly went crazy, plunged into the hot spring pool, and actually began to tear her clothes in the pool in public.

Ling Xin hurriedly bypassed the screen and the shadow wall and returned to the room, closed the door, and could vaguely hear the old woman's crazy voice.

Half an hour later, when there was no sound behind him, he took the plates and snacks he had left over from dinner and pushed the door open again.

As soon as the door opened, I saw the old woman, who was in tatters, sitting on the edge of the pool, her old back in a strange contrast with the mist

Ling Xin put the two plates of dim sum in his hand beside her, "I brought some food for you to taste." ”

As soon as the saucer was put down, the old woman grabbed all the two plates and stuffed them into her mouth as if she were crazy.

Her mouth was stuffed, and she shoved the snack in her other hand, choking until her neck stretched.

"You haven't eaten?"

Ling Xin asked tentatively, this looks like he has been hungry for eight hundred years, and his appearance is too ugly, even the flower children on the street are more elegant than this.

The old woman had finally swallowed all the snacks and was licking the plate, when a strange sound came out of the room.

Finally, she put down the plate and lay on her back on the ground satisfied, "My wife hasn't tasted this kind of snack for several years. ”

"You've been locked up here for years?"

"Even I don't know how many years it has been. ”

She sighed faintly, turned her head suddenly, her face was full of fierceness, and Ling Xin took a step back quietly.

"Then why are you being locked up here?"

This seemed to anger the old woman, and she disappeared again like a gust of wind, and the screeching of chains dragging on the ground could be heard in the darkness, but she refused to speak again.

"Don't you want to go out?"

With temptation, he shouted to the darkness opposite, but no one answered, as if he were the only one here, and if it weren't for the old woman who appeared out of thin air, he would have thought he was sleepwalking.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow night and bring you something to eat." ”

He shouted into the darkness, but there was still no movement, and then he went out carefully, closed the door, and put his ear to the door, and there was still no sound on the other side of the door.

After working for so long, he tiptoed to get ready to get to bed, but accidentally knocked the tea cup on the table to the ground with one hand, and the crisp sound was like a thunderclap.
