"Silly girl......" Ma Teng was halfway through speaking, when the dumb slave came in, and Ma Teng's half-bloomed bright smile was immediately retracted.

The mute slave carried a basket to bring food to Ma Teng, and threw a cold steamed bun and a plate of vegetables into the iron cage. Ma Teng comes from a people who are accustomed to eating meat, and eats such a vegetarian diet every day, no wonder he immediately reverses his stomach when he sees it, and he has no appetite at all.

The dumb slave put down the food given to Zuo Ling, but Zuo Ling's food was obviously much better, with a large bowl of white rice, braised pork, and eggs.

"Well, why wasn't the food he was given the same as mine? You're going to send him the same too, right? Zuo Ling innocently begged.

The dumb slave didn't answer, and didn't even look at her. After Zuo Ling finished asking, he was frightened by his ugliness, which was simply a disfigured face. The eyelids were burned, and the eyes were covered by drooping, and there were several deep scars interlaced on the cheeks, and although the scars were healed, the red and swollen flesh burst out and covered the face uglyly.

He wore a gray cape with a hat, which covered half of his face. But it is this half-concealment that adds a bit of treachery to this ugly face.

Zuo Ling was not so much frightened by his ugliness as by his eerie aura.

Seeing that the dumb slave was about to leave, Zuo Ling pleaded again: "Or give me some toiletries and a change of clothes!" ”

The mute slave didn't pause for a moment, but he didn't become hurried either, and he swayed slowly and leisurely at his usual pace, and swayed out of the cave. At this time, Zuo Ling suddenly woke up, and it turned out that this dumb slave turned out to be a cripple.

It is indeed sad for a person to live to this point, he is dumb, lame, and disfigured, and I am afraid that he will not be able to see the light of life. Thinking about it, it is not much better than Ma Teng and Zuo Ling at this moment.

Zuo Ling looked at Ma Teng helplessly, and Ma Teng shook his head at Zuo Ling, probably meaning that she was doing useless work.

But no one expected that the next day, when the dumb slave came to deliver the food again, he really brought Ma Teng and Zuo Ling toiletries, and each of them gave a change of clothes.

Zuo Ling was overjoyed and jumped three feet high. Even Ma Teng was deeply surprised. Zuo Ling actually thanked the people, completely forgetting that they had captured her and imprisoned her at all. Ma Teng smiled helplessly, and once again saw the simplicity of this golden branch and jade leaf that grew in the deep palace.

But after the dumb slave left, Ma Teng also had to praise: "Ling'er, you are really my lucky star." Since you came, this purgatory-like life has become less difficult. ”

Zuo Ling proudly raised his small pointed chin: "Of course, but ......"

Her flying look disappeared suddenly, and she was sad: "I don't know if I can ask him to remove your iron cable, it must be very painful to lock it like this." Every time I see it, my heart always hurts. ”

"Impossible, Ling'er, don't be too naïve!" Ma Teng said in a deep voice, "This dumb slave is just a servant, he just tries to help as much as he can." The real master should be the woman in red who brought you here. ”

"The woman in red?" Zuo Ling said, "It turned out to be a woman? I just remember that when I was doing morning class at Baiyun Temple, my eyes suddenly flashed red, and then I didn't know what to do, and I woke up again and arrived here. It turned out that the red was red. So who is she? ”

Ma Teng said with a calm look: "This is exactly what I want to know." It stands to reason that Empress Dowager Luo or Luo Yi arrested us. And who is this woman in red who shot it? Why not Ouchi masters? And a woman? It's weird! ”

It was indeed strange, but Zuo Ling didn't want to dwell on this unanswered question anymore, so she gave Ma Teng more than half of the white rice and braised pork in the bowl as usual. Ma Teng refused, but knew that it was useless to refuse, so he became more and more comfortable to enjoy Zuo Ling's care.

And Zuo Ling's care did make Ma Teng's heart gradually warm. It even gave him a renewed motivation to escape. But the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

One night, Ma Teng's poison attacked......
