I slept very uncomfortably. Half asleep and half awake, I seemed to see Song Yingchun's ghostly figure again. She was holding a bloody dagger in her hand. Her suddenly cold eyes made people feel cold in their hearts. A blade that could hurt her own sister without any scruples was truly more terrifying and brutal than all the weapons in the world. She approached me, and I broke out in a cold sweat.

Then he woke up from his dream, but saw that Yingchun was not in front of him, but Sanfu was standing and sleeping not far away.

"Yingchun, I don't blame you. You are possessed by a demon. It's not your fault. Come back soon." Song Bailu was lying on the sofa, mumbling in her sleep.

Devil? I'm afraid this is only half of the reason. Song Yingchun stabbed without hesitation, not only because of the intention of being manipulated, but also from her own subjective intention. I guess she was thinking at that time that it didn't matter whether her sister wanted it or not, she had to please the new master so that her next plan to resurrect the mermaid could be implemented. It was mostly out of selfishness.

But I don’t understand how she could be so ruthless and without hesitation, and without any regret afterwards. Is her heart really that cold?

The two girls were still asleep, their injuries were quite serious. I knew nothing about medicine, and this was a deserted castle with nothing here, so I couldn't rescue them. All I could do was to create a good recuperation environment for them, so that they could lie down and be comfortable for a while, meet their most basic needs, and wait for one of them to wake up.

I went outside to find some more useless dead tree trunks and brought them in to continue using for lighting fires. Because the fireplace was always burning in the house, the dampness had subsided a lot, and it was not so uncomfortable to stay in now. I also strolled around the first-floor house of about 300 square meters, and saw a portrait of Terry Buck, but not from the pirate period. Instead, he was wearing a silver suit with his helmet lid open, revealing his bearded face.

His expression is quite serious, but it looks funny no matter how you look at it. He is holding a shield, riding a white horse, and holding a spike-like spear. I guess it is a portrait of him when he was a knight. I have heard Yunwen say that he was a noble before, and it seems to be true. Ancient Europe attached great importance to bloodline. Generally, children of nobles could be knighted at the age of fifteen, but it was relatively difficult for commoners to be knighted posthumously.

Therefore, we can understand that this entire castle was probably the former fief of Terry Buck, so such a small castle was built, or it could be some kind of large manor.

Since this was a place where nobles once lived, it had everything it should have. I lit the kerosene lamp and looked around. In addition to the furniture and other items I had seen, there were also many decorations, including some bronze artifacts from China. However, I didn't care about these. I was more concerned about trivial things like food, clothing, housing and transportation.

There are many rooms around, which are opened one by one. There is a special storage room on the southwest side, where you can see brooms, mops, iron buckets, servants' moldy clothes, and washbasins. On the northwest side of the other end is the kitchen. Just like on the Sea Monster, there is a large cupboard with knives and forks, bowls, plates, fruit baskets, and many pots, pans, iron spoons, etc. hanging with ropes. There is a stove and a range against the wall. There is a handle in the middle of the stove, so I guess you can bake bread in it.

When I opened the cupboard there, besides something like a rice jar, there were a bunch of cockroaches flying past my feet. I almost stepped on them, but I heard that the more you step on them, the more cockroaches there are. If I stepped on them, all the eggs would burst out. I still managed to stop them.

There is a large cupboard on the west wall, two stoves on the east wall, and a water tank next to it. Next to the water tank is a sink, and hanging pots and pans are in the middle of the kitchen, tied to ropes. Under the ropes is a large table, which I think is used to prepare meat on a daily basis. There are many knife marks on it. There is a window in the north front, through which you can see the yard outside, and the south back is the direction from which I enter.

Not many of these plates were usable, especially the metal ones, which were mostly badly rusted. I happened to remember that there were quite a few empty boxes in the storage room, so I found two and threw all the broken, rusty and unusable tableware into them.

Therefore, there are not many left at the moment. There is only a set of silver items left, as well as knives, forks, plates, bowls and spoons, and a few ceramic items left, a total of three ceramic pots, two ceramic bowls, and one ceramic cup. Among the three ceramic pots, one is relatively large, about two palms high, and has a larger capacity.

I moved the rest to the storage room, and also took out a broom, a mop, and two buckets.

Wherever people can live, there is a necessary condition, that is, there must be water. As the saying goes, the land and water nurture the people, this is the truth. This can be seen from the fact that every human civilization is inevitably related to a river basin. Although this castle is not particularly large, it can definitely accommodate 20 to 30 people. If there is no water, or it is inconvenient to get water, so many people would have died of thirst long ago.

Therefore, there must be either a fresh water area or well water nearby. With this judgment, I took Sanfu out for a stroll and search. Sanfu was just in time to eat some grass, and the sun was already high in the sky.

Somewhere in this yard, you can see an underground entrance, which is not hidden. Go down and walk up about a hundred steps. When you reach a relatively deep underground, you can hear the sound of flowing water. Since the water is far away from the ground and the temperature underground is relatively constant, the water in this underground river does not freeze. It smells cold, so it must be a mountain spring flowing from somewhere.

As long as there is water, everything will be fine.

After that, I put the tableware in an iron bucket, took them out one by one and washed them. Then I filled a larger porcelain pot with spring water and brought it back to heat it up on the stove. When the girls said they were thirsty, I poured them a bowl of water and let them drink it. When they said they were hot, I would use some cloth here to dip some water and put it on their foreheads to cool down their feverish foreheads.

After they all calmed down, I was thinking about whether I should go back to look for something, but then I remembered that when I came back, the Nine-tailed White Fox had promised me to avoid it if I could. If I went out and was discovered by the Manipulator and Yingchun, I would not be able to live here anymore. For the moment, it would be relatively irrational to do so.

I'll just listen to the advice, eat my fill, and stay put for now.

However, firstly, such an important thing as the Golden Que Sword is still buried in the ruins. Secondly, the wheat fields that have been planted for so long may become abandoned if they are not managed. Therefore, they have to stay for now, but hiding like this is not a long-term solution after all.

"Zhou Bo..."

I was thinking hard when I heard a voice calling out. I turned around and saw that it was Yunwen who had woken up. She was holding her head and looked very weak. I hurried over to help her. She sat up a little and said, "Where is this? I remember there was an earthquake last night and there was a prehistoric giant making trouble outside. Was it a nightmare I had?"

I shook my head: "It's not a dream, it's real. The post station has fallen. As for what happened, I will tell you slowly."

She nodded, and then I told her what happened last night. As she listened, she kept looking at Bai Lu, and couldn't help but feel emotional. I thought she would be like me after listening, thinking about avoiding the limelight for the time being, settling down her life, and waiting for the momentum to pass. However, she didn't think so.

"No, Yingchun will definitely get into trouble if she stays with that weird guy. We have to save her. We can't leave her outside to suffer alone. You also know that she is really out of control and that's why she did that to her sister. She wouldn't be like this normally. We should save her. She is our companion." Yunwen said.

"Companions? You also know that the gray powder will only have a catalytic effect on the human body. During this period, people can maintain a certain degree of rationality. She stabbed without blinking and didn't regard us as partners at all." I said.

"Then Zhou Bo, were you rational when you hugged Song Bailu tightly? Whether it was a catalyst or not, it was not your subjective will. Yingchun is indeed ignorant on weekdays, but she is a partner who has been with us for so long. Do you really want to see her suffer? Besides, I think Sister Bailu, as a victim, also hopes that she can come back safely and reunite with us, right?" Yunwen looked into my eyes and said seriously.
