203 Two people trapped in a labyrinth
At night, Saionji Akino, who had already tried to explore other areas, but had no success, returned to his original place.
He felt the weakness in his thigh, and the worsening wound, and sighed softly.
The hollowed-out hole at the top leads straight to the top, so there will be moonlight shining in them, so that they will not be blinded.
But there is nothing here but moonlight and air.
The sound of external excavation can occasionally be heard, but judging from this progress, it seems that there is no way to successfully rescue without two or three days.
And......
Saionji Akino looked at the entire internal structure and frowned slightly.
The other party excavates and rescues, and may have to analyze the situation of the entire mountain, the location of the cave is more sensitive, if you dig indiscriminately, maybe the people inside them will be directly killed by more falling rocks.
You also have to analyze the path, discuss where to dig, how to dig, and so on...... This will take longer.
Saionji Akino rubbed his abdomen, he was a little hungry.
Even if there is a pack of compressed biscuits on him, as a three-day ration, it is barely enough.
But that's also for one person.
Turning her head to look at Fujiwara Nagi, who was sitting not far away, her white dress had turned into a tattered appearance, and she tore a large piece of it herself to facilitate her movement.
The crystal sandals have long been taken off, and now they are walking barefoot, so it is inevitable that the soles of the feet will be worn by stepping on the gravel, and there will be some blood stains underneath.
It's just that compared to the state of Saionji Akino, she is much better.
Fujiwara Nagi noticed Saionji Akino's gaze, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but soon saw Saionji Akino slowly sit down, close her eyes to nourish her spirits, and stopped her desire to speak.
Nothing was said all night.
When she woke up, Fujiwara Nagi felt very thirsty, and her whole body was extremely sore, and it was a terrible experience to sleep here, although she was physically punished when she was a child, but that was during the class, and the rest of the rest of the time could still sleep normally and eat normally.
But now, tired and sleepy, hungry and thirsty...... It was only for half a day, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
Fujiwara Nagi stood up, she just wanted to go to see where Saionji Akino was, but she found that the other person had long since disappeared, and just when she was a little anxious, she suddenly noticed half a compressed biscuit placed on another stone.
The wrapping paper is still very conspicuous, and the light is not bad now, and you can see it at once.
Fujiwara Nagi was stunned, she stepped forward to pick up the half of the biscuit, smelling the smell on it......
It smells of blood.
Obviously it stinks, but she can't hate the smell at this time, and even ......
Suddenly his vision blurred, and tears slipped down his cheeks.
At a time when there is a serious shortage of water and life is in danger, crying is the most irrational behavior, but Fujiwara Nagi couldn't control herself at all, she held this half of the compressed biscuit, desperately lowered her voice, squatted in place and cried.
This cry made her brain sober up a lot at once, at least, some of the things she wanted to crook before because of her paranoia and jealousy were slowly sorted out.
For example, Saionji Akino chose to accept the matter of becoming the heir on that day.
Is it really because of hypocrisy, because he wants to get power, that he agreed to Fujiwara Yoshiaki?
Think about what Fujiwara Yoshiaki said to him.
They threaten him with the safety of those around him, persecute him, and tell him that if he has no power, he will be slaughtered by others.
In that case, if he can still say no, does it mean that he doesn't take the people around him seriously at all?
Is it more important than the people around him, or his principles?
Therefore, no matter what he says, it is wrong, and no matter how he chooses, it is wrong.
Choosing the position of heir is his hypocrisy, and if he still refuses Fujiwara Yoshiaki, when Fujiwara Yoshiaki really ties up all the people around him, he will be resented by those around him.
After all, those people had nothing to do with his affairs, they were implicated by him.
No wonder they all say that good people are hard to be.
When you see someone else fulfilling their kindness, but the object of their kindness is not their own, the onlooker will think that this person is really stupid, really hypocritical, just for show or some other cool words.
Too much of Our Lady will implicate yourself, there is no point in doing these things, the world is inherently indifferent, and you are naΓ―ve in doing these things......
However, once these cool-talking, sneering people are helped by this kindness in a real moment of crisis, they will begin to be grateful again, and they will feel that it is really good to have good people in this world......
Who are the real hypocrisy, and who are the double standards?
Fujiwara Nagi clenched the compressed biscuit, and at this moment she began to understand how ugly her true face was, how disgusting she used to be, for her own selfish desires, she had done so many unwarranted things to hurt others, and to inflict malicious speculation on others.
Fujiwara Nagi has always felt that such introspection is meaningless, but ...... At this moment, she had to feel moved, and she had to feel ashamed of this half of the compressed biscuit.
It turns out that there are really such pure good people in this world, but I have never seen or understood them, so I arbitrarily denied the possibility of the existence of that kind of people, and then used my own insights and opinions to dissect them without authorization.
Wrong......
Actually, it's me......
But......
Fujiwara Nagi put away the compressed biscuits, and instead of planning to eat them, she began to walk forward, looking for traces of Saionji Akino.
There were several narrow tunnels in the underground mansion, and she walked several of them yesterday and found that they were all dead ends, and there were no new discoveries at all.
One by one, one by one, I went to look for it.
Eventually, Fujiwara Nagi spotted Saionji Akino in one of the widest tunnels, and when she spotted Saionji Akino, she saw him leaning against a stone wall with his eyes closed.
Fujiwara Nagi was suddenly startled, she thought it was Saionji Akino who fainted due to excessive blood loss, so she hurriedly wanted to step forward and help him up.
But the moment Fujiwara Nagi approached, Saionji Akino opened his eyes.
The indifferent gaze fell on the girl's body, and Saionji Akino said in a very flat tone: "I found a new passage, you have to go down with me." β
"Okay, okay." Fujiwara Nagi nodded obediently, she obviously didn't expect Saionji Akino to be willing to take the initiative to talk to her, and she was a little happy in her heart.
But this is actually the most indifferent manifestation of Saionji Akino.
This is the lesson I learned last time on Kawano Natsuryo's side, deliberately showing his malicious intentions, not only can not persuade the other party to retreat, but also affects his mood all the time.
Therefore, Saionji Akino will not refuse to communicate normally with Fujiwara Nagi.
He got up slowly, and at the same time noticed the compressed biscuit in Fujiwara Nagi's hand, and after finding that she hadn't eaten at all, he said, "If you don't want to eat it, you can throw it away, but I suggest you eat some to replenish your energy, so that you can live." β
"No, it's not, it's not that you don't want to eat!" Fujiwara Nagi explained with some flusteredness, and she looked at Saionji Akino's pale face and his dry lips.
"Ling, have you eaten? If you don't eat, you don't have to give me ......."
"I still have a lot of pieces."
ββ¦β¦ That, then I'll eat, I'll eat now. Fujiwara Nagi opened the wrapper, lowered her head, and began to nibble on the compressed biscuit.
It's just that there is no water to match the compressed biscuits, which is very difficult to swallow, and eating like Fujiwara Nagi will not only fail to swallow in the end, but may have to spit it all out.
Saionji Akino sighed and reminded, "Eat slowly." β
ββ¦β¦ Okay, okay. Fujiwara Nagi was reminded by this sentence, which made her want to cry even more, her head lowered even more, and she compressed the biscuits and ate them together with tears.
But she still felt satisfied.
After waiting for ten minutes, after Fujiwara Nagi had eaten cleanly, Saionji Akino twisted a movable brick, and with the loud sound of the stone rolling, a hidden door to the underground passage slowly opened.
Last night, Saionji Akino went to the dream to learn about the history of Japan in the past, and where would the general design mechanism of this underground mansion be.
I searched for it according to what several teachers said, and soon he found it.
And the said Fujiwara Nagi is useful, that is, let her go ahead and explore the way.
But after all, Saionji Akino would definitely not let her die, so when she walked ahead, he was also doing his best to observe the surrounding movements to confirm whether there was any danger.
Fujiwara Nagi was stunned, she didn't expect Saionji Akino to be so powerful, and she could also discover the hidden mechanism......
Then when she walked all the way down, she didn't feel anything, she just listened to Akino of Xiyuan Temple's instructions, he asked him to stop, she stopped, let go, then go.
It's like you've completely lost your brain and given him all the control.
Saionji Akino looked at the internal environment and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.
Sure enough, it is not as exquisite and luxurious as in the TV series, this is a pure passage, and there is an open space below, except for the coffin.
It can be seen that the ancients of the Fujiwara family in the past were very ambitious, but due to the limitations of imagination and technology, they could not build a powerful underground mansion at all, and now there is only a general framework.
There is a high probability that those so-called organs will not have ......
As soon as Saionji Akino thought so, he noticed the spikes on a small layer of stairs in front of him, although they had long been rusted, Fujiwara Nagi was barefoot, and if he stepped on it, he would definitely be infected with a lot of germs, and maybe he would die from tetanus infection.
So he grabbed Fujiwara Nagi.
And Fujiwara Nagi didn't pay much attention, and directly bumped into Saionji Akino's arms, and just when she was a little confused, she heard Saionji Akino's words.
"Look ahead of you."
Only then did she discover those spikes, and she was immediately afraid.
Saionji Akino also thinks that this is indeed insidious enough, and when you let your guard down and confirm that there is no design, he will suddenly give it to you.
A lot of people will be recruited at the end.
"Thank you......"
Fujiwara Nagi turned his head sideways, looked at Saionji Akino, and said softly.
Saionji Akino did not respond, but motioned for her to continue walking.
Coming to the flat place, Saionji Akino looked around and found that there were three entrances, he frowned slightly, thinking that there were several entrances above, but they were all dead ends.
So what exactly is this design, and what are the deliberately made of a few passages for?
There was no time to delve into these, so Saionji Akino pointed to one of them and said, "I'll go that one, you go to the others, see if there is an exit, pay attention to the sound, and shout if there is an accident, let me know." β
ββ¦β¦ Autumn...... Akino-kun, I'm with you, is it okay? I'll give you the way ahead as I did just now. β
Saionji Akino glanced at her lightly, didn't speak, and left first.
But Fujiwara Nagi refused to leave him, so Saionji Akino could only acquiesce in her behavior.
Fujiwara Nagi was really scared, and she began to understand why Saionji Akino would say that she was useful.
Although Saionji Akino thinks she is useful, it is estimated that she can save time for exploration and improve efficiency, but she thinks that "useful" means that two people stay together, and their mentality will be more stable.
She's just a coward.
After following Fujiwara Nagi for more than ten minutes, they were obviously following the road, but they inexplicably went back to the starting point.
And the first time, Saionji Akino immediately realized the intention of such a design.
This may not be a cemetery, nor a mansion, but a simple labyrinth, and those coffins just now may not be coffins, but some other things.
This mountain, hidden beneath this cave, should have been a former strategic location?
Considering that there were hundreds or thousands of people fighting around during the Warring States period in Japan, it is not surprising that they would choose the mountain as a strategic location.
So how to solve the maze, and how to go next?
Saionji Akino stopped Fujiwara Nagi and stood in place and fell into deep thought.
ββ
While Saionji Akino and Fujiwara Nagi struggled to find a way out, Fujiwara Yoshiaki returned to the Fujiwara family, where he began to meet with the other elders of the family, as well as the young adults who were currently in power.
He stood in front of everyone and asked in a deep voice, "You guys, do you really want to tear your face with me?" β
"Yixian, this is wrong, we didn't mean to disobey you, but you are really too ridiculous this time, in order to follow the bloodline, you also specially found a wild seed from the outside to be the heir, the person we split up is not a human being?" An old man with the same gray hair and a kind face smiled and spoke sharp words.
"I can't understand either, if you say that Fujiwara Nagi will directly inherit the Fujiwara chaebol, I can accept it, after all, she is a direct line, and she is also the bloodline of our Fujiwara family, but what is this from Saionji, with all due respect, he is really not suitable to be in power at all." Another old man spoke. (Fujiwara Nagi is an adopted daughter, only Fujiwara Yoshiken and Kyoko know, as mentioned earlier)
"An overly positive image is suitable for going to the mixed political arena, but, that little boy seems to be really kind-hearted, such a person is destined to not come out, Yixian, your judgment is really problematic this time."
"......" Fujiwara Yoshiaki listened to one dissenting voice after another, and he nodded slowly.
The anger in his heart has reached its peak, but he will not show it.
The reason why Fujiwara Nagi did not directly become the head of the family is to consider the group of people under him, and the fact that Fujiwara Nagi is daughter, as long as Fujiwara Nagi is on the throne and has not yet exercised the corresponding ability and heart, it is estimated that it will not be long before these people who split up will be bombarded with all kinds of sugar-coated shells.
When the time comes, send a few super handsome people with very good personalities to fall in love with Fujiwara Nagi or something, and then get married and have children, it is estimated that in less than ten years, Fujiwara Nagi's position as the head of the family will exist in name only.
Opposites attract, this is a natural law, and it is not something that Fujiwara Yoshiaki can control, so this is the fundamental reason why he has always been worried about letting Fujiwara Nagi take over, and also let her disguise herself as a man to compete.
The daughter is still too weak in this big family.
And Fujiwara Nagi's heart is flawed, so there are more things to consider.
However, it no longer matters to say this.
If both Saionji Akino and Fujiwara Nagi are dead, then his backhands don't need to worry about anything anymore.
It's not that I want to avenge these two young people, it's just that Fujiwara Yoshiaki absolutely doesn't trust the inferior nature of these families, they don't have a holistic concept at all, once they are taken by one of them.
Then the Fujiwara family will be finished.
Then, since sooner or later it will be destroyed, it is better to let him take action to eradicate those moths first...... Preserve the last dignity of the Fujiwara family.
