Chapter Twenty-Four: She Woke Up

"She's awake."

"We've got new sisters to keep us company."

"Oops, there's one more person to compete with us for favor."

……

Ji Xia woke up to the chatter and laughter of a group of young girls.

She glanced warily at the young girls standing at the head of her bed. They were dressed in various colored dresses, all of them were about their own age, and they were looking at her curiously at the moment.

Passing past these girls, Ji Xia saw a rich and luxurious room, with several beds carved from Nan wood, several shiny bronze mirrors, and a few carved dressers. All of them show the noble taste of the owner.

Ji Xia vaguely remembered that he was "abducted", wasn't he abducted to be a "child daughter-in-law" in the deep mountains and old forests or to "sell jokes" in the Qinglou?

"Where is this?" Ji Xia asked.

"This is a fairyland...... "One of them, a thin girl in an emerald smoke skirt and a jasper orchid hairpin, joked with a smile.

"Oh, don't tease her, you see her face change with fright." Another girl dressed in a colorful dark flower cloud brocade skirt and a golden peony hairpin, compared with the previous girl, looked a little plump, and said coquettishly.

"This is the master's courtyard, and we are all invited by the master to be guests."

"What's your name?"

"Where are you from?"

……

Ji Xia didn't understand their answers at all, but before she could think about it, the girls asked Ji Xia a series of questions.

"Stop." Ji Xia couldn't help but interrupt the girls' endless questions.

"Were you also taken captive by an old woman and a man dressed as a farmer?" Ji Xia recalled the previous scene and made sure that he was not "invited".

"That's just a trick the master used to invite us in." The girl wearing the jasper orchid hairpin replied with a smile, and the other girls all nodded in agreement with a smile.

"Don't you want to run away?"

"How could we want to get out?" The girl actually laughed out loud, "Look how nice it is here, there are gorgeous houses, gorgeous clothes, beautiful beaded jewelry, and the owner is so gentle and considerate......" The girl said, her eyes began to blur, revealing a trace of yearning.

The more Ji Xia listened, the more confused she became. But the only thing that is certain is that they are all "captive" like themselves, but they don't know what kind of ecstasy soup they have received, and they all stay here willingly.

I heard the girl then sigh: "There are also delicious five stone scatters...... You'll love it here. ”

"Five stones?"

Just when Ji Xia was puzzled, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper walked in, and said in a loud voice: "Girls, the master is about to come to 'choose a concubine', hurry up and dress up!" ”

Before the words fell, the girls who were originally around Ji Xia's bed scattered in a hurry and put on their own makeup.

Ji Xia only felt bored, so he leaned on the head of the bed and quietly watched them busy. But in his mind, he was thinking about how to escape by himself. But right now, I don't even know where I am!

Hey, I don't know if Gao Han has returned to the Yunlai Inn, or if he has found out that he is missing......

After a while, the butler opened the door again and came in, followed by several rough maids, beckoning several girls to stand in turn, blindfolded with red cloth.

The girls did not stop the work in their hands, and obediently followed the instructions of the housekeeper and did them one by one.

Ji Xia looked at the strength of the other party, and thought that he would not be able to gain any benefits by breaking through, so he had to be at the mercy of a marionette.

Ji Xia was blindfolded by them with a red cloth, and the rough girl led her through one corridor after another.

While silently remembering the road she had walked, sketching out the drawings in her heart, and planning for the escape, she sighed with emotion: "This place is really big! ”

After a long time, they finally stopped and stood still. The surroundings are very quiet.

Suddenly, Ji Xia heard footsteps, as if a few people were coming over and were not far from him.

One of them spoke, and his voice sounded like that of the butler from before.

I only heard the man say respectfully: "Childe, there is a new 'flower fairy' today......

"Oh? Where? The other person was clearly intrigued.

Before the housekeeper could reply, the coquettish voices of several girls sounded beside Ji Xia.

"Don't ...... it"

"How can Childe just want to see a newcomer?"

"Did Childe forget the slave family?"
