Chapter 18: Confinement
It's Xu Weiqiu......
A humble little girl who lives involuntarily in a cruel feudal society.
She lay on the Chase bunk tossing and turning, lying on her back, and suddenly remembered the drawing she had accidentally turned over earlier, and she remembered that there was a very suspicious passage in the depths of the underground palace on the drawing, and there was also a special mark with unknown intentions.
Thinking of this, she sat up like a grasshopper, and because she was too excited, she made a lot of movement at once.
"Why are you so surprised, and let people not sleep." A long-term worker in the same shop couldn't help but complain.
"I'm sorry." She whispered an apology, lay back in place, and forced herself to put herself to sleep.
The next day, when she was on an errand in the main house, she couldn't help but secretly look at the desk, and found that the wooden box that had been placed on the desk was gone, and she looked around and never found any trace of it.
Zhao Yan saw that she was not serious, so he kicked her unceremoniously: "What are you looking at?" ”
"Nope." She quickly shook her head.
Hearing this, Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
"Well, the minion didn't know if he was dazzled, but he seemed to see a cricket jumping from here to there." She was babbling nonsense.
"Really?" Zhao Yan immediately believed it, and bent down to look for it.
Seeing this, Xu Weiqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she had been kneeling there and beating his legs for nearly an hour, her hands and feet began to be numb, and while Zhao Yan was not paying attention, she secretly turned her back and loosened her wrist.
Zhao Yan didn't suspect that she was lying, so she only said a word of disappointment, and then casually confessed to her a few words, and then went out with a birdcage and walked the bird.
Xu Weiqiu respectfully sent the person out of the door, and watched him carry the birdcage and whistle along the long bluestone road, and she turned her head back to the main house.
This main house is cleaned up every day, and it is almost spotless, but since Zhao Yan told her to clean it well, she also pretended to take a feather duster to sweep here and there.
When she came to the screen, she swept the bird picture on the screen with a feather duster. Sweeping, she glanced back at the door, thought for a moment, and then stepped over the screen and walked into the bedroom inside.
She guessed correctly, the wooden box was indeed stored in the dormitory, and it was now placed on the dressing table not far away.
She walked quickly to the dressing table, inserted a feather duster into the porcelain vase beside her, opened the wooden box, and rummaged through it; She quickly found the volume she wanted, and eagerly unfolded it, looking down at .......
Ear chamber, carriage room...... She remembered that the corridor was connected to the east side room.
East Side Room ...... The east side room is in the ...... Found it......
She lowered her head and looked carefully and carefully......
Suddenly, the light around her dimmed, and she was stunned for a moment, turning her head slightly.
This time, I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good.
I saw that Zhao Yan, who was supposed to go out to walk the birds, was standing a foot away from her at this moment, looking at her expressionlessly.
This man's eyes are deep and bright, and although he is good-looking, when he stares at you coldly, it makes people feel panicked.
"Zhao Fu, didn't you say that you can't read?" He asked, his tone was calm, but the look on his face was not the same.
Xu Weiqiu suddenly panicked, she turned her head desperately, racking her brains to give the other party a reasonable explanation.
However, Zhao Yan didn't wait for her to explain more, strode forward and kicked her in the lower abdomen.
Xu Weiqiu was in pain and couldn't help bending over to laugh at his stomach.
"Dog minion!" Zhao Yan's eyes were cold, he glanced at the scrolls scattered on the ground, and called out the door: "Come on, drag this dog slave out for me." ”
Soon, two strong men rushed in, and they entered the house as if they were already waiting outside the door; Xu Weiqiu quickly realized that this Zhao Yan was probably suspicious of him for a long time.
The two strong men stepped forward, and without saying a word, they dragged her out one by one.
Thinking of the ruthlessness of this torturer surnamed Zhao, Xu Weiqiu was completely panicked.
"My lord's life...... Spare your life...... The little ones are just curious ....... At this moment, she had no choice but to beg for mercy.
Zhao Yan didn't even give her a look, but just said coldly: "Take it down and lock it up." ”
---------------
Xu Weiqiu was locked up in a dark room, which was empty, with only four walls and no windows, where even a ray of light became a luxury.
When a person has no sense of the outside world, time passes the longest; Although she felt as if she had been locked up for a long time, the light around her changed from dark to dark only once, and reason told her that only a day and a night had passed.
Ever since she was imprisoned, no one has come, no one has brought food, not even water.
When a person is locked in the dark for a long time, her spirit is easy to collapse, and she is already hungry and thirsty at this moment; Xu Weiqiu scratched his neck and shouted at the gate, "Someone's coming...... Is there anyone out there? …… Someone's coming....... ”。
But no matter how she called, there was no response from outside.
She did not give up, and slammed the wooden door so hard that the door panel rattled, but it was all in vain, and as soon as she stopped, the silence around her immediately returned.
She felt her mouth dry and her voice became weaker and weaker:
"Forget if you don't have anything to eat, at least bring me some water, it's going to kill people with thirst, it's too inhuman......."
After scolding like this, she couldn't help but cough dryly; Finally, she gave up, and collapsed weakly on the ground.
Is this Zhao Yan afraid that he plans to starve himself to death like this? Just as she was feeling desperate, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Xu Weiqiu was overjoyed, and quickly stood up and banged on the wooden door: "Someone, is there someone outside?" Open the door quickly......"
The footsteps outside stopped abruptly, she was stunned for a moment, leaned her ears and listened, there was still no movement outside, and she knocked on the door again without giving up.
After a long time, there was still no movement, and she scolded in despair: "Zhao Yan, you villain, living Hades, bastard, Zhao Lao Liu, ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was slammed open. After seeing the visitor, Xu Weiqiu was immediately stunned, and she stood in place with a blank expression.
Zhao Lao Liu, who she had just spoken, stood outside the door and looked at her coldly at the moment, followed by two guards behind him.
"Lord Zhao......" Xu Weiqiu shouted and took a step back obediently.
Zhao Yan glanced at her, turned around and left without saying a word.
"Let's go!" Two guards behind him stepped forward and escorted her after him.
She was escorted to Guhuang Mountain, and the craftsmen on the mountain were working hard under the scorching sun, and only a few dared to turn their heads to look over.
