Chapter 2: The Slave, the Captain, and the Blind Boy
General Zhang reluctantly retreated, the door of the cell was closed behind him, and he went down the dungeon once a month at most, and he had to bring together seven or eight sentries from the camp. At this moment, he looked at the winding tunnels of the prison and felt his knees turn into water.
Infant Shiro looked at the slave in front of her carefully, but she didn't see him at all. The slave walked over to the bed, picked up the lifeless boy, and laid him on the dirty rags that had already been laid on the ground. She picked up the layer of straw on the stone bed that had absorbed the excrement, expertly tied it into a bunch and threw it in the corner, and spread a layer of clean grass.
She carried the boy back to the bed and took out a piece of cloth and a jar of water from the wooden box, as well as a bowl of slimy porridge. She reached out to untie the boy's trouser belt, and then the boy moved, and he struggled slightly with his hands, as if trying to push the slave away.
"I've said it many times," the slave whispered, "and your skin will rot if you don't clean it up." ”
"I'm going to die, leave me alone. The boy finally squeezed a few words out between his teeth.
The slave did not reply, carefully wiped the boy's lower body with a damp cloth, and took a needle from his bosom to puncture a raised purple lump on his calf, and a dark red blood clot dripped on the ground. She cleaned him, put on a spare pair of pants, and spoon-by-spoon the porridge. The boy stopped struggling and swallowed obediently.
Ying Zhibai looked at these two people and seemed to be fascinated, but the slave opened her mouth first, and she asked without raising her head, "Who are you, what are you coming to me for?"
In the depths of this isolated hell, there is a wonderful experience where all identity, status, power, and glory are swallowed up by darkness. Infant Zhibai suddenly felt helpless and panicked, he was just a living creature lurking under some great and terrifying force, no matter how illustrious his feats and sharp swords were, he became a pile of dung in the isolated place of this abandoned universe.
"I need to take a look at your Hidden Lotus stamp. ”
The movement of the slave's hand stopped, and she continued to feed the porridge, and the boy swallowed quickly this time. After the bowl of porridge was finished, the slave settled the boy and finally came to the baby white.
Now he could finally see her clearly. It's strange that four torches are stuck in the wall, how it seems that her face is always shrouded in a faint twilight, and it is always impossible to see it clearly.
Her face was covered in several places and was already crusting. The people of VIA never shaved the heads of female slaves, because they could sell them for a good price when they met beautiful ones. But the hair and eyebrows of the man in front of him were shaved fine. The face is only the size of a palm, the facial features are not very soft, and the gray eyes are quite beautiful, but the pupils are always like a layer of mist, so that people can't see her thoughts from inside. In addition, the bridge of the nose is too straight, the lips are too dry, and the skin is too white, which is not the type of woman that VIA Kai people like at all.
What's more, she is still a cheap slave of Hidden Lotus, let alone a woman, she is not even worthy of being a person. There are seven powerful countries on this continent, among which the Great Willingham Empire is the most powerful, accounting for one-fifth of the entire land area. In addition to these seven kingdoms, there were also some other small city-states, and the people of the seven kingdoms had always looked down on them, calling them "Yu Bang Guo" with contempt, and even their kings were inferior and could only sit with the courtiers of the seven kingdoms.
The Hidden Lotus is "the people who are hated by the gods" in the ancient language, they do not belong to any country or city-state, and it is said that during the time of chaos, the gods destroyed their country, and a fire burning with sulfur came down from heaven and burned all the Hidden Lotus people. But the demons who specifically fought against God saved a few Hidden Lotus people. Demons have infused evil in them, so they have an innate stamp. Countless generations have passed, and the Hidden Lotus people are said to have died almost, most of them died miserably and lonely, no one cared about them when they lived, and no one buried them when they died.
It's hard to see a single Hidden Lotus slave now, their unbelievable ancestry and incredible evil stamps make them as rare as living fossils, no one knows the legend of Hidden Lotus, but no one has ever seen them.
No wonder the emperor showed great interest in this slave, and Ying Zhibai thought that she looked different from others. Although Emperor Sether was invincible and pretentious, and the whole of Weishengkai regarded him as the embodiment of God, and others avoided the evil stamp of Hidden Lotus, and the Emperor scoffed at it, but with Infant Zhibai's understanding of the Emperor, he was interested in her, and I am afraid that there was something else to hide.
"What's your name?" asked the slave, "and my name is Hidden Eyebrow." ”
"Baby's white. ”
"Nobody wants to see the Hidden Lotus stamp. ”
"This is the will of Emperor Sether. ”
"You are the emperor's courtier?"
"Captain the pigeon," Infant Shiro was impatient with her rude tone, "time is of the essence, I need to see your stamp." ”
Hidden eyebrows frowned, she looked up and down at Infant White, he looked very young, slightly more mature than the boy in the bed. He was dark-skinned and very handsome, unlike most of the promiscuous Wilphkai soldiers, Infant White cherished his reputation as much as a feather, he never visited brothels and rarely drank alcohol, and his dark eyes under the dense layers of eyelashes were unusually rational.
Infant Shiro was enraged by the silence of the hidden eyebrows, and he felt that he rarely did this anymore. The boy on the bed sat up, he opened a pair of big silver-white eyes, and looked at the two of them vacantly, and the baby realized that this zombie-like man was still blind.
An inexplicable fire swept in, and Infant White suddenly reached out and grabbed the collar of Yin Xinmei, dragging her to himself. Suddenly, a scream hit.
"Edosah!"
Infant Zhibai's mind was startled, and his thoughts paused for a short time, and when he came back to his senses, Yin Xinmei had already grabbed his wrist, and the tip of the nail on her middle finger was against his artery. The boy on the bed gasped, his upper body fell to the ground, and his silver eyes stared at the white of the baby.
"Captain, listen up," Hidden Eyebrows pinched his arteries viciously, her strength was so great that Infant White couldn't break free, "I advise you to think about your situation, you are in the same room with a Hidden Lotus slave and the Purple Cloud Flower patient, and your medals and the Emperor are useless in this place." When I cut your skin with my fingertips, do you guess you were burned to death by a demon's stamp, or died from the bursting of blood vessels infected with the Purple Cloud Flower Poison?"
Yin Xinmei was ready, but he didn't expect the other party to let go first, and said politely, "I think I overlooked something, but", Ying Zhibai said sincerely, "I really need to personally check your stamp, I don't want to tear a woman's clothes like a drunkard, even if, well, even if you are a Hidden Lotus person." ”
His words worked, and he could see that she was hesitating, so he added further, pointing to the young man on the stone bed and saying to Hidden Eyebrows, "I promise you that I can persuade the Emperor to give Prince Semir freedom. ”
There was a dead silence, and the hidden brow seemed to be defeated, and she whispered, "I was going to take care of Shanmir until he died," she looked at the young man, looking guilty, "so that even if I am thrown into a cage by General Zhang for lunch after that, I will have no regrets." ”
"That's your own cleverness," said Semir indifferently, "I don't need your care, I said I would rather die now." ”
Yin Xinmei looked at the baby's white eyes, the light in his eyes made her feel that he was trustworthy, he understood her worries, and vouched again.
"I swear to you, I will do it. ”
Yin Xinmei stood up and unbuttoned her shirt, her dirty hands covered with chilblains between her fingers, and struggled to unbutton her chest. At that moment, Ying Zhibai felt that he was out of breath, and he had an urge to pull his legs and run away.
Finally, she opened her mind, and Infant White wished that it was himself who was blind at the moment, and between the towering ice and snow white and coral red, an ugly mark was looking at him fiercely, and the more he looked at the mark, the more he felt the evil. At that moment, the torches seemed to all be extinguished, and the demons laughed wildly around him.
In retrospect, it was the first time in his life that he wanted to run away screaming like a woman, but he couldn't help but walk towards the mark. When his right hand was placed on the mark, it was as if a fire was burning in the palm of his hand, and it was extremely painful.
Ying Zhibai was so scared that he was going to die, but he couldn't take his hand away, and he didn't dare to look up at Yin Xinmei's face at all.
......
There was a hysterical scream, followed by a familiar crash.
"It's General Zhang," Yin Xinmei took a step back and rebuttoned his buttons, "he was eaten by the contents of the cage." ”
Infant White seemed to climb up from deep water and gasped softly.
"Pack your bags, I'm going to get you out of here," he dodged a hidden glance, "...... If you have luggage. ”
