Chapter 14 The Protagonist The garden at night is extremely beautiful.
Dots of fireflies flickered in and out of the dark night, sparkling, flowers bloomed under the moonlight, and the air was filled with the smell of dew and floral fragrance, which smelled great.
Tian Li finally understood why in fairy tales, princesses like to dance in the garden.
If she hadn't been in a hurry, she would have really wanted to go inside and take a good look.
With fireflies and moonlight as companions along the way, the road didn't seem so dark is a long row of low rooms on the east side. Each room is closely connected. The windows are closed. There is light shining through the edge of the wooden door, and it can be seen that there must be someone inside.
Tian Li wondered if the other eight male teammates would live here.
She looked at Zhang Xincheng, who must also be Zhang Xincheng shaking her head, Tian Li gave up the idea of knocking on the door.
"Go and take a look at the back." Zhang Xincheng whispered.
Tian Li looked along the back of the low house. There were several separate huts in the distance, but there were no lights, and it was pitch black behind the door.
The huts in the back were built individually, with their backs to the woods, and the moonlight was hidden in the clouds. There was no light, making them look a little penetrating.
Tian Li followed Zhang Xincheng towards the hut.
Zhang Xincheng tentatively shouted: "Xiao Ling, are you in there?"
The next moment, there was a rustling sound coming from a small room.
"Is it Sister Xincheng?" came a female voice.
Shen Linling is indeed here.
She was locked in the penultimate small room. The windows of the small room were sealed with iron bars, and the door was locked. It looked like a place where people were imprisoned.
Shen Linling burst into tears when she saw Zhang Xincheng, "Sister Xincheng, it's so dark here, when can I go out?"
Seeing that the girl had a faint tendency to cry, Tian Li quickly "shushed" and lowered her voice and said: "Keep your voice down, we came out secretly."
Hearing this, Shen Linling held back her tears, sobbed and shrugged her shoulders, holding back her cries.
No wonder Shen Linling was afraid. A 14-year-old girl who had just entered junior high school was involved in this death game.
Facing Shen Linling's tearful eyes, Zhang Xincheng said seriously: "Xiaoling, if you stay here for a few days, my sister will ask Madam to let you out as soon as possible."
Seemingly with Zhang Xincheng's assurance, Shen Linling wiped her tears and her expression was no longer so scared.
"Sister Xincheng, can you stay with me for a while? It's too dark here, and there are mice and bugs in the house. I'm scared."
"Okay," Zhang Xincheng responded looked sideways at Tian Li next to her and said, "Ali, it's getting late. Do you want to go back and rest first?"
Then he added: "I will rush back to call you tomorrow morning."
"It's okay, I'm not that tired. I'll stay with you."
The cold moon was no longer obscured by clouds, and the moonlight poured down, making the surrounding area much Li remembered something. She asked Shen Linling behind the door, "Xiaoling, have you eaten tonight?"
"No"
In fact, she didn't eat much for lunch because of the cold bread, and no one brought her food when she was imprisoned.
Because she was too scared when she was caught, her hunger was not that severe. Now when Tian Li asked her, she started to feel hungry.
"I still have some food here, this is all I have, you can eat it first."
Tian Li handed her a piece of bread and a piece of ham from outside the iron fence.
"Thank you. Thank you sister Ali."
Although it was still the hard black bread that servants ate, with a slice of ham it was not so hard to swallow.
Tian Li looked away and found Zhang Xincheng looking at her.
She coughed lightly and gave Zhang Xincheng another piece of wrapped ham in her pocket.
Well, originally she wanted to keep it for herself to secretly improve her food.
Zhang Xincheng didn't answer, and she didn't ask Tian Li how she got this. After all, there was no ham in the servants' food. She just refused, "Thank you, I'm not hungry."
"Eat some." Tian Li forced the ham directly into her hand, "You can't eat bread for a month."
Zhang Xincheng was silent for a moment, with mixed feelings in her heart. She looked at Tian Li seriously and said, "Ali, thank you." Just as Tian Li was about to say something, Zhang Xincheng's expression suddenly changed, and she made a "shh" gesture. , signaling Tian Li to be silent.
Tian Li also noticed that there seemed to be footsteps coming towards them.
Zhang Xincheng's eyes were sharp. She had been vigilant for many years and realized that it was not safe here. She made a mouth gesture to Tian Li.
Walk--
There was no time to say goodbye to Xiaoling, so the two could only leave in a Xincheng took the lead, and Tian Li followed lightly.
It was impossible to go back the way they came. Following the way forward, the two of them made a large circle outside the Li is not a wanderlust, but it is easy to get lost in places she has never been to. The only person she relies on now is Zhang Xincheng.
Zhang Xincheng walked very fast, and Tian Li had to jog from time to time for fear of falling behind the turning around, Tian Li saw rows of low houses similar to those on the east side of the castle.
They are finally back here.
However, there are also more people patrolling.
Tian Li is not good at exercise, and long-term jogging makes her calves a little two of them passed by a corner, and Tian Li couldn't help but stop, holding on to the wall and whispering: "Xin Cheng, can you slow down."
Zhang Xincheng had already reached the opposite side at this time, and there was a crossroads between them.
"There are a lot of people patrolling here. We are almost at the garden ahead. Let's go there to take a rest."
Hearing this, Tian Li gritted her teeth and insisted, got up and walked to the opposite side.
"Who's in front!"
A cold voice came from not far away. Tian Li was in the middle of the fork. Her body froze, and she already felt that something was wrong.
"Run!"
Hearing Zhang Xincheng's voice, Tian Li ran away, followed closely by the scolding and footsteps of the man behind her.
Don’t call the person behind you! Tian Li prayed in her heart.
"Someone is coming, someone is coming!" the man behind shouted while running.
Tian Li: "."
With such a shout, the people patrolling on the road also heard the sound, and many people rushed here to surround the two people.
Zhang Xincheng ran to an intersection and then retreated. There were people patrolling the intersection in front of her; there were not many paths left for the two of them to escape safely.
"Ali, we have to separate first. You run to the right, and I'll divert them away." Zhang Xincheng said as he ran.
"Then be careful!"
The road Zhang Xincheng pointed to was a long and narrow path, very dark and narrow, and it was unknown where it led. Tian Li quickened her pace, turned sideways, and plunged into it.
The small trees planted inside grew twisted and twisted, and their branches were so intricately intertwined that Tian Li even got scratched on her face by the branches while running.
Fortunately, after she came in, the sounds of the chase became less frequent.
Zhang Xincheng is agile and Tian Li just hopes that nothing will happen to her.
Unconsciously, Tian Li walked out of the path covered with thorn trees and vines, and her vision became dragged her tired body and walked aimlessly. When she looked up again, she saw a small house standing in front of her.
By some mistake, Tian Li wanted to knock on the door; she felt that if there was someone in the house, it was not a bad person.
This feeling is getting stronger and she walked to the door, reached out and knocked on the closed wooden door.
tuk tuk-
The door opened within a good-looking girl came out from behind the door. The room behind her was shrouded in orange lights. Under the bright light, the girl's face could be seen clearly.
The girl had fair skin, beautiful appearance, and her golden hair was tied up high. Although she wore the same maid clothes as Tian Li and the others, she still couldn't hide the fresh and refined temperament of the girl.
At the same time, another prompt sound of [ding dong——] came from Tian Li's ears, and then the sound of the system sounded;
