Fu Zhaozhao said suddenly: "These should not be the reasons why you can't leave here, you are unwilling to leave for other reasons." ”

Probably didn't expect this to be said, the woman who was chained lowered her eyes and was silent, only her hand stroking the monster lying on her lap from time to time.

Maybe it was very comfortable to be touched, and the monster with the human head and snake body couldn't help but make a gurgling sound in its throat, and its eyes were tightly closed, looking very pleasant, and it didn't have the appearance of teeth and claws before.

The woman was silent for a moment before she sighed, "You look very carefully, these things are indeed not the reason for binding me. ”

Then she patted the monster's back lightly and continued: "When I first met Zhizhi, she was not the size of my palm, she was small, and she didn't move much, and I was always afraid that she wouldn't survive. ”

"Fortunately, Zhizhi is very easy to raise, and it rarely worries me. According to them, Zhizhi can live for a long time, and she will be able to live well until everyone is gone. ”

As if hearing the woman talking about her, Zhizhi's ears moved in her sleep, and then moved closer to the woman.

"You also know that Zhizhi is very special, and I don't worry about letting her be alone outside, so I used a special method to survive."

The woman said faintly: "Maybe they have lived too long, and their descendants were afraid of us at the beginning, so they finally locked us up here, and asked us to make some beauty snakes for them." ”

When Fu Zhaozhao heard this, he felt a little strange: "It was born like this?" Not man-made?! ”

The woman nodded: "Zhizhi was picked up by me next to a stone on the mountain, and I also watched her hatch with my own eyes, which is of course different from other semi-finished products in the back." ”

Qi Guanshan suddenly spoke: "The semi-finished products you are talking about are those on the outside, missing arms and missing the lower half of the body?" They must have been human beings, so why would you hurt your kind for the sake of a monster? ”

The woman didn't speak, but her eyes fell on him fixedly, and only after a while did she say: "Zhizhi is not a monster, she is my family; And success always comes with sacrifice. ”

Zhizhi, who was sleeping on her lap, may have sensed the woman's mood swings, and woke up from her dream and tilted her head to look at her suspiciously, obviously not understanding why she was angry.

The woman patted Zhizhi's hand and asked her to continue to lie down beside her, probably because of some mood swings, she couldn't help coughing twice.

"Do you know what the most important step in making a beauty snake is?"

Fu Zhaozhao shook his head: "I don't understand this very well. ”

Qi Guanshan seemed to have guessed something, and his brows tightened.

The woman chuckled, then coughed twice before saying, "It's Zhizhi, my most important Zhizhi." ”

Qi Guanshan: "It's its blood, right?" ”

The woman smiled and nodded, "You're smarter than I thought." ”

Qi Guanshan smiled self-deprecatingly and did not speak again.

The woman continued, "Zhizhi's blood is one of the ingredients used to make the beauty snake, and only her blood can make people fuse with the snake. ”

"But they are too greedy, Zhizhi was caught by them and bled over and over again, and the most serious time, Zhizhi's blood was almost dried up by them." The woman said slowly, as if returning to the original picture.

"Later, they found out that only what Zhizhi was willing to give could make a successful beauty snake, so they found me."

Only Fu Zhaozhao still seems to be puzzled.

"What does that have to do with your reluctance to leave here?"

The woman laughed self-deprecatingly and continued, "They found me and asked me to persuade Zhizhi. Because Zhizhi was raised by me, and I have always been willing to listen to me alone, in order to prevent them from forcing Zhizhi, I had to agree to let them only take blood three times a month. ”

"But they were afraid that I would run away with Zhizhi, and finally found someone to curse me."

On the night of the spell, the rain outside kept falling and fell on her ears, and her heart beat more and more slowly, and she even felt that she would never see the next day's sun again.

But that's exactly what happened.

She raised her hand, and the chains clanged in the air, and the next moment, the chains fell off the woman's wrist on their own.

"Like you said before, none of these things are the reason to tie me up and not leave here." The woman suddenly asked, "Guess how long I've lived." ”

Fu Zhaozhao shook his head: "I can't see it." ”

"368 years." The woman scoffed, "I spent 348 of those years here, and I can't leave here, because they have someone who has cursed me, and as soon as I leave this tower, the first moment the sun falls on me, I will die." ”

"In fact, the first two hundred years were fine, but there was less and less food in the back, and there were more and more semi-finished products and failed products in lockdowns.

When the woman said this, she suddenly paused and looked at the monster with the human head and snake body gently.

"Thanks to Zhizhi, she kept me alive."

"There wasn't enough food, so she tried to find me food back, and that's how we got to this point. It's a pity that the food in this tower is limited after all, and the last food half a month ago was eaten by the two of us. ”

The woman said it vaguely, but the listener immediately understood what the other party said about the food represented.

The tooth marks on the bones outside, the bone marrow that has been sucked clean, all prove this.

The woman didn't seem to care at all that they knew about it, but instead smiled and continued: "At first, I was very uncomfortable, but then I thought that they had all relied on Zhizhi to survive until now, so I let go of this matter. ”

Fu Zhaozhao took a step back slightly, "You tricked him into coming over to let him deliver food, right?!" ”

The woman shook her head gently: "How so?" He's one of the few good people I've ever met. ”

Qi Guanshan was silent on the sidelines, obviously disagreeing with the statement of a good person.

Fu Zhaozhao felt that his attitude seemed a little strange.

The woman glanced at Qi Guanshan, and then turned her gaze to Fu Zhaozhao: "You are not the first people to find here, but you are the only ones who have no other thoughts about us. ”

She touched the monster with the human head and snake body, and said in a soft voice: "Actually, during this time, I kept having the same dream, and the dream I was like the sand blown by the wind, gradually disappearing. ”

Qi Guanshan frowned, looking at the other party's transparent limbs that had begun to appear under the light.

The woman didn't pay attention to his gaze, and continued: "I myself know that Zhizhi's blood is no longer useful to me, and I can't stay with her for long if I continue to drink it; And I didn't worry about her alone, so I used some special method to get people to help you come to me. ”
