There was no time to think about all these things at the moment, Hua Yuanzhao quickly looked at the screen on the wall.
The screen was pitch black, and I could vaguely see the thick straw on the ground, but there was no one around.
Hua Yuanzhao took a deep breath, went back outside holding the fire starter, wrapped himself in a quilt and sank into the thick straw.
No one knows what's going on in this place. If someone comes to check on her and finds that she's not there, will they think she's a demon?
The air outside was filled with smoke and dust. Hua Yuanzhao reached out and pressed it, only to find that the straw on the ground was more than half a meter thick.
The range that the fire starter could illuminate was limited. Hua Yuanzhao stretched out his arm and raised the fire starter as high as possible, and could barely see the situation here clearly.
This seemed to be a dungeon, about eight or nine meters high, with the ground covered with straw and a ventilation window the size of a human face in the corner of the top of the wall.
Hua Yuanzhao endured the pain in his feet and analyzed his current situation as much as possible.
There must be a mechanism in the room, which activated the bed and cracked it, so she fell into this place.
This dungeon is covered with thick straw. Is it to prevent people from falling and getting injured?
Plus, Princess Lin'an had said before that Jingsi Temple was where women who had committed crimes were imprisoned...
Could it be that this dungeon was the method used by Jingsi Temple to control the newcomers? Hua Yuanzhao frowned. If so, why was Su Xin so polite to her along the way? Wouldn't it be the same if she used force from the beginning?
Also, she was locked up here, so what about Fuling?
Will Fuling be tortured and harassed?
By then, Fuling had been awakened. She lay on the tightly closed bed, looking for the mechanism everywhere, and was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Before she could cry, the window was knocked open and two men in black jumped in one after another, scaring Fuling so much that she almost screamed again.
"That's right this time!" Shihu saw Poria cocos and turned to the person next to him and said.
Rong Xiu looked around with a stern face and asked in confusion: "Why are you the only one here? Where is your young lady?"
Fuling pursed her lips, tears falling down: "Miss, Miss she..."
Rong Xiu frowned and asked in confusion, "What happened to Zhao Zhao?"
"She was eaten by the bed!" Fuling burst into tears, but she didn't dare to cry too loudly. She just sat helplessly on the edge of the bed wiping her tears.
"What a mess?" Shihu couldn't help but ask, is this little crybaby any good?
"**Is there a mechanism?" Rong Xiu guessed it right at once: "She fell down?"
Fuling nodded while crying, making room for Rongxiu who came over, holding the candlestick steadily in her hand.
Rong Xiu knocked on the bed board, and his brows furrowed even more tightly when he heard the dull echo under his fingers.
"The sound doesn't sound like solid wood!" Shihu stretched his neck and moved closer.
Judging from its appearance, the bed board is just ordinary mahogany, and the wood board is painted with varnish, and feels quite smooth.
"There is an iron plate hidden under the thin wooden board." Rong Xiu stretched out his hand and groped around. The two people next to him watched with bated breath, not even daring to breathe.
Suddenly, Rong Xiu stopped moving and gently moved the bulge he touched with his fingers under the head of the bed.
The next moment, the bed board cracked silently and Rong Xiu fell down like a stone.
The moment he fell, the bed board closed again, leaving Shihu and Fuling alone looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Rong——" Fuling was about to speak, but Shihu covered her mouth.
"Shh—someone is coming!" Shihu lowered his voice and looked outside vigilantly.
He only thought for a moment before making a decision: "I'll take you away first!"
"But Miss..." Fuling was worried and her eyes were glued to her.
The person outside was already pushing the door. Fortunately, Fuling had blocked the door with a soft couch before going to bed, so he temporarily stopped the person.
"My young master has gone downstairs! What are you still worried about?" Shihu lowered his voice and dragged Fuling towards the window.
…
After Rong Xiu landed, he rolled over and stepped on the soft straw. His eyes swept around and fell on the lit fire starter in the corner.
Hua Yuanzhao sat in the corner holding a fire starter, his big black and white eyes staring straight at Rongxiu.
"Zhao Zhao?" Rong Xiu was startled, and immediately stepped forward and half-knelt in front of her: "What's wrong? Are you injured anywhere?"
Hua Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief when he recognized it was him.
This man was dressed in black and had his face covered with a black scarf. She thought he was not a good person!
"I sprained my ankle." Hua Yuanzhao said with a frown, and put the medicine powder in his hand into his sleeve.
Rong Xiu was slightly stunned, and his eyes moved down to Hua Yuanzhao's feet: "Which one? I did learn some tricks in the army, I can cure it."
Hua Yuanzhao silently raised his left foot, Rongxiu knelt on one knee, lifted her foot and placed it on his knee, pulled off her shoes and socks and saw that her feet had become red and swollen.
"It's okay, it's not serious." Rong Xiu comforted her, took the medicine from Hua Yuanzhao and helped her apply it.
A scorching temperature came from his ankles, and it seemed abnormally hot. Hua Yuanzhao's heart beat irregularly for a moment, and he instinctively thought: Is he having a fever?
"You're such a great doctor, how come you can't even cure your own feet? Huh?" Rong Xiu teased, distracting Hua Yuanzhao's attention.
It would have been better if he didn't say it. As soon as he mentioned it, Hua Yuanzhao was so ashamed and angry that he blushed from head to toe.
A sprained ankle is easy to treat, but isn't she too fat? Although it's not so exaggerated that she can't reach her ankle now, it's difficult to use force with her hands when she touches her ankle!
It seems I still need to lose weight! Hua Yuanzhao thought angrily.
She was distracted and her eyes moved away from her feet and fell on Rong Xiu's face.
Under the dim light, Rongxiu's face was as red as a rosy cloud, and even her exposed neck was red.
"What's wrong with you?" Hua Yuanzhao was puzzled.
"Hmm?" Rong Xiu looked over blankly.
"Why is your body so red?" Hua Yuanzhao pointed at his hand and asked seriously, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Rong Xiu lowered his head, and his eyes narrowed slightly when he saw his own red skin.
He laughed, but said something frivolous: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this isn't a man and a woman alone in the same room, am I too excited?"
Hua Yuanzhao gritted his teeth and glared at him fiercely.
——Where did this pervert come from!
Rong Xiu applied medicine to her and helped her put on her shoes and socks before asking, "Can you walk for now?"
"You have to do it even if you can't!" Hua Yuanzhao stood up with difficulty, holding on to the wall. When he lowered his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Rong Xiu who seemed to have eaten something.
But when she raised her head, Rong Xiu just covered his lips with his fist and coughed twice.
“This place is choking.”
Rong Xiu looked away, and walked forward after seeing the scratches on the wall. He ran his fingertips over the scratches with a serious expression.
"It seems that many people have been imprisoned here..."
Hua Yuanzhao came closer with a fire starter, looking thoughtfully at the scratches on the wall and the blackened earth wall, and suddenly his face changed drastically.
"No!" She grabbed Rong Xiu's arm and said anxiously, "Let's leave! The sooner the better!"
