Inkglass Mountain Chapter 91
I don't know how long I slept, but Moling was awakened by a faint call sound. Opening her sleepy eyes, Moling saw someone outside the cell waving at her.
"Brother Moling, Brother Moling, are you awake, are you okay?" the man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Moling open his eyes.
"Isn't this Brother Green Worm," Mo Ling recognized the face of the person who came, and smiled happily, "Why did you come here?" β
"It's Chiju, not Aoji!" "Okay, good, Brother Chie, Brother Aoji." β
"When is this, Brother Moling still has the heart to tell jokes-" Zhu Qianzhong stomped his feet in a hurry, "I told the guard for a long time before he agreed to let me stay alone with you for a while," Zhu Qianzhong looked back, and the guard was standing not far away, so he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Moling, there is not much time, so I'll make a long story short." β
"Good. Seeing Takechiju's serious appearance, Mo Ling also put on a serious expression.
"Brother Moling, you take this thing," Zhu Qianzhong took out a thin object of a certain length from his arms, wrapped it carefully in a cloth, and after looking around at no one, he threw it towards Moling. Mo Ling took a sip, and a cold metallic touch immediately came from his mouth.
"Brother Moling, out of the county guard's mansion, a hundred steps east, there is a carriage parked around the corner, gray-topped and black, I am waiting for you in the car. As soon as he finished speaking, the guard walked over, and Zhu Qianzhong gave Mo Ling one last look before getting up, "Brother Mo Ling, take care." β
Mo Ling hurriedly titheed the contents of his mouth, and before he could open his mouth to speak, Takechiju had already been taken away by the guards. Listening to the sound of "plopping", everything rolled down under the bed.
"This bamboo green worm, it's really-" Mo Ling thought for a long time, not knowing what word to use, "It's really deadly." β
"People are trying to save you, but you still don't appreciate it. Fu Qin floated out of the jade pendant, said sourly, leaned under the bed again, took out the cloth wrapping, and shook it at Mo Ling, "It's a ruler." β
Mo Ling didn't answer, and instead said, "You go out to find Zhu Qianzhong and tell him to drive quickly, don't wait for me." β
"I'm not going," Fuqin pursed his mouth, "you're going to go yourself." β
"How can I get out of this way. "You beg me, you beg me, and I'll untie you and let you outβand you don't need the ruler at all." Fuqin said, throwing the ruler back under the bed.
"You-" Mo Ling wanted to laugh angrily, "Let's stop making a fuss, okay, you go and stop Takechiju, I can't thank you enough." β
"Why do you want to say thank you, I don't know why. Fu Qin's face was even more unsightly.
"Then I'll thank you for Daddy Bamboo, that's fine. β
"It's not uncommon," Fu Qin said, and plunged into the jade pendant in Mo Ling's arms, "I'm asleep." β
"Fuqin, Fuqinβ" No matter how Moling screamed, Fuqin didn't make a sound, as if he was really asleep.
Mo Ling opened his eyes again, and was awakened by a piercing "clang" sound. I saw a soldier with a stick in his hand, and he was violently banging on the wall next to Mo Ling's ear, and the sound shook Mo Ling a little dizzy.
Seeing that Mo Ling opened his eyes, the soldier untied Mo Ling's shackles, and kicked half a basin of soup to Mo Ling's feet, "The meal is here, hurry up and eat." β
Mo Ling moved his sore wrist and asked if the shackles were not untied.
"You eat with your feet?" the soldier didn't want to talk nonsense, and kicked Mo Ling hard, Mo Ling gritted his teeth and endured not speaking, squatting down to come to the basin, but what he smelled was a rancid smell.
"I don't have much appetite right now, so I don't eat it. Mo Ling stood up and said with a smile.
"Hmph," the soldier snorted, "there will always be a time when you want to eat." β
With that, the soldier put the magic feather back on the wall, then poured the soup from the basin and left with the empty basin.
Not long after the soldier left, a voice came from not far away: "Whose soup was spilled on the ground? β
When Mo Ling looked closely, he found that there was a small nose sticking out of the iron bar and sniffing everywhere between the two cells.
Mo Ling thought it was funny, so she shouted at Little Nose, "Don't look for it, I'm here." β
But the little nose didn't seem to hear it, and was still looking around. Mo Ling raised her voice and shouted again, this time the little nose reacted, and replied in a sharp voice: "I can't hear what you say." β
It seems that not only is there a problem with the nose, but the ears are also not good, and the magic feather is a little deflated, so she no longer speaks. After a while, Little Nose asked again, "Is it the innermost cell?"
"How do you know it's me?" replied Moling.
"Hey-hee-" Little Nose smiled like a mouse, "because we're going to live together here, and there's an old man who ignores me." β
Come to think of it, his ears are so back, it's very tiring to talk to him.
"Little brother," this time Little Nose changed his name, "you must have committed a big crime by living in the innermost part, tell me why you were arrested?"
Mo Ling knew that the order of the cells was still so particular, so he replied loudly: "I was wronged. β
"Hey, that's what everyone who came in said. The little nose squeaked and laughed, "I was wronged too." β
"And what do they say you have done?" "They said I slept with the county warden's wife. β
This is indeed a "heinous crime" - "Then you have been wronged enough." β
"It's not miserable, it's not miserable," Little Nose's laugh carried a hint of obscenity, "I did put her to sleep." β
"......" Mo Ling was speechless for a moment, so he changed his words and asked, "What about the old man who lives with us, what did he do?"
"I asked him, but he wouldn't say. "And what cell does he live in?" "Right next to you." β
It turns out that there is really a person living next door, but there is never a sound, doesn't this person eat?
Little Nose wanted to continue to talk to Mo Ling, but unfortunately Mo Ling's mind was not here, Little Nose talked alone for a while, feeling sleepy, so he shut up and silenced.
There is no sky in the prison, but there is a bright light that never goes out, and if you stay in it for a long time, your sense of day and night will gradually fade, and if you have no one to tell you when you should eat and when you should sleep, sooner or later you will be forgotten.
Maybe it was because the lights were too bright, Mo Ling felt that his head was very empty, his eyelids were very heavy, and he was dazed and wanted to fall asleep, but he had slept twice before, and now he couldn't sleep.
Just after wandering for a long time between half-asleep and half-awake, a vague shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, the shadow slowly squatted down, and gently put something - Mo Ling woke up suddenly, looked around but could not see a figure, only a few plates of steaming food at his feet, and an iron key lying quietly in the center, particularly conspicuous under the dazzling light.
"Fuqin, Fuqin, wake up. Mo Ling summoned Fu Qin out of her dream, "Quickly take the key and unlock it for me." β
Fu Qin picked up the key and tried it, and sure enough, he untied the shackles and shackles of the magic feather.
"It's so much more comfortable now. Mo Ling moved his hands and feet, "Come, come, eat and eat." β
Fu Qin sat down with Mo Ling in a daze, Mo Ling handed over a chopstick, folded his own one in half, picked up the food and sent it to his mouth: "I don't know who sent it, while the guard is not there, let's eat it quickly." β
As early as a few years ago, Mo Ling and himself had opened the valley one after another, and it was rare to see Mo Ling eating so sweetly, and it was actually in the dungeon of the county guard's mansion. Fu Qin felt very incredible, and also used chopsticks to taste it, and the food was still warm.
Mo Ling said that he was afraid of being discovered by the guards, but in fact, his hands and feet did not have a trace of scruples, and the chopsticks knocked on the dishes and plates, and he had not swallowed the food in his mouth, and he was anxious to speak:
"This man is very funny, he gives us the key to the shackles, but not the key to the prison door, who do you think this person will be?"
"I can't guess. Fuqin grabbed another pair of chopsticks, and felt that the taste was good.
"I can't guess either. "After eating the food, Mo Ling is much better," I will go to the bed and lie down for a while, and put the dishes under the bed after eating, and if the guards come, you will take me back." β
After Mo Ling fell asleep, the dungeon returned to a lonely place, but from time to time there would be a "squeak" mouse cry not far away, as if to say, "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant", this sound made Fu Qin's heart furious, and even the food in his mouth had a hint of astringency.
