MTL - Empress True Colors-Chapter 73v4 Shutter Island

Jing Hengbo glanced over and froze on the threshold, unable to make a sound.

It was clearly late at night, the time for everyone to sleep peacefully, but at this moment, the courtyard was full of people.

But what kind of people are those.

At first glance, she thought she saw a group of ghosts, all in empty white robes, all as thin as bamboo poles, with green eyes in the dark, floating and squatting in corridors, corners, behind trees, and beside stones Hanging, staring at people eerily.

At the second glance, she saw the faces of those people. When she saw the faces, she suddenly realized that they were not ghosts, but people. They are sick people, some are covered with broken scales, some have distorted joints, some have skin peeling off, some have half white and half black, some seem to have lost their skin, and only see a wriggling mass The reddish knotted flesh, the dim candlelight in the room spread out a pale yellow background, this scene is like a picture of a group of ghosts traveling at night, only the pale gas is emitted from the noses of those people, which makes people realize that they are living people .

Suddenly the light fluttered, and he went out of the room. After swimming for a while, Jing Hengbo realized that it was a young man in black, holding a lamp, and walking steadily to meet him.

The ghost-like people in the courtyard were all dressed in white, but he was the only one who wore black, and only one face was white, which was not as disgusting as the others, but it was so white that the face was almost blurred by the light, and the facial features could not be seen clearly.

The lamp bearer walked up to the old family, and before the old family backed away, he stood still and said, "A newcomer?"

The old family member pointed to Jing Hengbo and said, "Live here."

The black-clothed boy nodded and said, "Follow me." He was about to turn around and suddenly stopped, and raised the lamp to Jing Hengbo's face, Jing Hengbo raised his hand to block his eyes, and staggered away from the light.

"She doesn't have this disease." The boy said, "I can't stay here."

"My son's order." The old man shook his head.

The young man was stunned again, with a cold smile on his lips, he nodded irresolutely, "Sure." Looking at Yeluqi, he said, "Is he coming too?"

"yes."

"no."

The first sentence is Yeluqi, and the second sentence is the same voice of the old family and Jing Hengbo.

"My son says one thing is true," the old man said, "If you want to live here, he won't even treat this woman."

Jing Hengbo also said: "You live here, I'll leave immediately. No one should stay here to gain popularity."

Looking at this group of people, she always thought of mental hospitals or leprosy patients. She herself was also infected with the disease anyway, so it was fine to get in, and it would not make sense to drag Yeluqi in.

"Can I live anywhere I want?" Yeluqi asked his family.

The old family thought about it and nodded.

Yeluqi smiled and took a step back. Jing Hengbo let out a long breath and walked in the door.

Almost immediately, the old family members closed the door tightly. Hearing the sound of locking one after another, Jing Hengbo felt a little depressed.

This is clearly a hospice care base for infectious diseases, right?

No, there was no concern at all, the door was locked, the surrounding atmosphere was like ghosts, and a cold guy in black stood opposite, looking at her expressionlessly as if he was impermanent.

Seeing her turn her gaze, the boy in black casually pointed at the easternmost room and said, "There is no one living in that room, so you can live there. Someone will bring you three meals a day and medicinal soup. If Qiu Jinfeng needs it, you can buy it yourself." I will also come to see a doctor. There is a latrine over there, you go and clean it, and it will be yours alone in the future. Don’t disturb us if you have nothing to do, but I don’t think you dare to come.”

There was a slight sarcasm in his eyes, and he suddenly said: "Actually, you don't have to be afraid of us. We don't infect people, but we should be afraid of you. Are you infected with the disease? Judging from the symptoms, although it is not serious, it is not the same as it was seven years ago." It is similar to a black plague in Yun that killed 7,000 people, you'd better stay away from us."

Jing Hengbo was even more depressed, because he was rejected by a group of people who looked like ghosts with rotten faces!

After the black-clothed boy finished his explanation, he ignored her and went back to the house with the lamp in his hand. Those ghost-like people were still floating in the yard. They seemed to be very light in stature. Jing Hengbo always heard a strange gurgling sound, which was a little familiar. She looked around, thinking that there were pond frogs calling nearby, but there was no.

If she wants to go to the designated house, she must first pass through a yard of "ghosts" running around. This scene really tests people's psychological endurance - in the middle of the night, the lonely cliff, the green eyes all over the yard, and the crowd full of ghosts in the yard , The crowd full of ghosts in the yard stares at you with green eyes and does not speak. There will be an illusion that you will fall into a group of hungry ghosts in an instant and be torn apart and eaten raw.

Jing Hengbo had no choice but to keep his eyes on the ground instead of looking at the faces of those people. When he looked down, he suddenly discovered something new.

The white robes of that group of people were very long, and they were dragging on the ground at this moment. Although they were dirty and worn out, she, who is very proficient in clothing and make-up, immediately saw that all the materials were luxurious and exquisite, and the silk brocade and patterns that gleamed dimly. Gorgeous sky silk brocade, thick and gloomy feather satin, rich and exquisite jacquard silk... almost all of them are the fabrics that can only be used by the top nobles in the wilderness. Unbelievably expensive.

Even in Jing Hengbo's store, clothes made of such fabrics are basically only for high-end VIPs, that is, royal families from all over the world.

On a deserted island in the middle of the lake, a group of confinement patients who seemed to be waiting to die, how could they use such fabrics?

She even saw a finger-sized pearl on the embroidered shoes on the bottom of a woman's skirt. If it wasn't for the fact that half of the pearl was clean, she would have thought it was a lump of yellow mud.

Jing Hengbo looked at the hem of these robes and skirts, and couldn't move. She was more and more curious. She pointed to the pearl on the embroidered shoe, and just wanted to strike up a conversation with the owner of the shoe, but when she raised her head, her mouth One, the group of "ghosts" who were staring at her silently suddenly ran away in a hurry. For a while, white shadows flew around the yard, really like a group of ghosts running at night.

It was a group of ghosts running, and it was the young and beautiful queen who frightened the group of ghosts...

Jing Hengbo touched his face and became even more depressed. He almost thought that he was the one who was covered with sores, pus and dandruff falling off his face...

She touched a few pimples on her forehead, and suddenly shivered, thinking that if she became like that...

It might as well be dead!

Thinking of this, she suddenly lost all energy. After tossing around for most of the night, she was still suffering from a low-grade fever. She dragged her feet to find the room, and vaguely saw that the bed was quite clean. Just fell asleep in bed.

Dreaming all night.

I was very tired in my dream.

Running, chasing, fighting and strife, in the chaos, there is a white figure dangling like a ghost, whispering in her ear like a ghost: why didn't you tell me, why didn't you tell me, why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me anything and ran away...

In the dream, she was so annoyed that she yelled, "Isn't this what you did in the past! Sis just retaliates!"

In the dream, he stopped talking, and actually looked at her with gloomy eyes, which made her hair stand on end, and she stepped back step by step. Suddenly, a flower bloomed between the two of them, and a little baby crawled out of the flower. Then he crawled over to him, babbling and calling Dad.

She exploded with a bang, stepped forward to **** the doll and ran, holding her ears and yelling: "Fuck you crawled out of my stomach, you dare to turn your elbows outward..." After cursing for a while, she suddenly remembered an important thing. The question is, is the doll male or female? Quickly lift that little bellyband—

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, just beside her ear, and she opened her eyes.

The first time she saw a bright room, a ball of golden light shone at the end of her vision, as bright as a pearl on someone's neckline, she raised her hand to cover her eyes, and it took a while to remember that she slept with the door open last night, and now the sun is shining Above the lintel hung gleamingly.

Immediately, she smelled a very refreshing aroma, like the aroma of fresh and soft fish accompanied by fragrant and crystal clear rice, or the astringent aroma of pine needles and the strong aroma of chicken...

With her eyes closed, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she murmured: "Yeluqi, if you come to the modern age, you will definitely be the warm man that everyone is fighting for..."

It seems that not far from the top of the head, Yeluqi's voice sounded, "What is a warm man?"

"It's just like you..." Jing Hengbo lazily said, "You can go up to the living room and go down to the kitchen, gentle and considerate, meticulous and safe, IKEA and IKEA room, gratifying and annoying, like a ball of warm sunshine, bathing the whole body of a person..."

"What you said made me suddenly have some expectations that I don't know if I should have." Yeluqi said thoughtfully.

Jing Hengbo immediately said, "It's better to have something else to look forward to." Hearing Yeluqi from above sigh with a half-smile, a ball of feather fluff floated down and landed on the tip of her nose, itching, "Get up and have breakfast. "

Jing Hengbo let out a "hmm", with a soft nasal voice, thinking in his heart that it would be great if Gong Yin asked this question, and a Gong Yin wearing an apron and a tall hat suddenly appeared in his mind, waving the pot expressionlessly. With a shovel, put an fried egg that is even more round than the one drawn by a compass into the plate, and shout, "It's time to eat!"

Thinking about it this way felt very funny, and couldn't help but chuckle.

This smile is bathed in the golden light of the rising sun. It is soft and beautiful. The corners of the eyebrows and eyes are full of longing and anticipation for happiness. in daylight.

Yeluqi, who was staring at her from above, suddenly trembled at the tip of his heart.

I have always loved her smile the most. When it is charming, it will make people feel that the flowers are instantly brightened, and the sun is bright and gorgeous, which is an almost dazzling and unforgettable beauty. However, her gentle smile , but what he can't forget the most, how delicate, soft, and loving, the world seems suddenly soft and transparent in such a curved arc.

He felt that his heart had also become transparent, becoming a complete crystal, and every section only reflected her shadow.

However, it was filled to the brim, and her life had already been filled to the brim by others, and there was no one else to stand on...

He curled his lips and turned his head to look at the distant scenery.

When Jing Hengbo opened his eyes, he found that the top of his head was facing the bed, and there was actually a slanted skylight, and half of Yeluqi's face was exposed in the skylight.

She narrowed her eyes and touched the food on the bedside table.

But the hand felt empty.

She was stunned, sat up, turned her head and saw that the table was leaning against the bed, and now it was empty and empty. But when she clearly smelled the fragrance just now, Yeluqi asked her to have breakfast!

Jing Hengbo got out of bed and walked to the window, heh, good guy, a steaming lotus leaf bag, and a green bamboo tube rice, are being held in someone else's hands now!

Under the window, several men and women in white robes were scrambling to eat her breakfast, and a woman was running around with rice in a bamboo tube, shouting, "Hey! How dare you rob me of my meal!"

A big hand suddenly came down from the tree and grabbed her hair, "Ha! Princess Dingcheng, quickly offer me some food!"

Several people rushed over, some pulled their trousers, some pulled their skirts, their mouths were in a mess.

"General Fuguo has the right to take a bite!"

"The Marquis gets a chicken leg!"

"I am a noble concubine! I am the emperor, and you are ministers. You are not allowed to eat any of them, and all of them are offered to me!"

…

Jing Hengbo giggled, this group of psychos pretending to be houses is so much fun!

When she smiled, the group of people immediately stopped robbing, Qiqi turned to stare at her, and shouted: "Hey! How dare you laugh at us!"

"Yes, yes, Princess Dingcheng, General Fuguo, Lord Marquis, noble concubines, are you done with pretending? Next time you want to pretend to be a pretender, please use grass roots and mud? This is my breakfast, thank you .” Jing Hengbo leaned on the window sill with both hands, smiling broadly.

Those ghost-like princesses, generals, concubines Hou Ye, and noble concubines stared wide-eyed, and suddenly raised their hands, and they all smashed the things in their hands.

"Hey! Who dare you to be so disrespectful to us!"

Jing Hengbo shrank his head, and the crackling mud mixed with the rice hit her window lattice, the group outside were still yelling, the princess ordered the general, the noble concubine ordered the marquis, and the prince ordered the county king, all demanding to "take this How dare you act recklessly, the lowly servant girl of the roaring royal family is dragged out and beaten to death by me!" Unfortunately, after shouting for a long time, a pile of mud fell from the top of Jing Hengbo's head, and those generals, princes and marquises were still scrambling to order his subordinates, and no one moved. He yelled at the top of his voice. Finally they said in unison: "The new lowly servant girl, come out and serve us!"

Jing Hengbo raised her head, the glistening rice on the wall was mixed with disgusting yellow mud, and the chicken was buried in the black charcoal ash. She raised her eyebrows, thinking that this was Yeluqi's hard-working delicacy all morning, and now it was all covered by this The group of **** marquises, concubines, noble concubines, and generals have been ruined by crazy, they are really **** up.

She stood up, "Who are the lowly maids talking about?"

"The lowly maids are talking about you!" The outside answered in unison.

"Why should I serve the lowly maidservants?" Jing Hengbo asked.

"Because you have the lowest status." The group outside raised their heads, those who lifted their skirts lifted their skirts, those who brushed the corners of their robes, and some took out a small dilapidated mirror, looked at their faces covered with dandruff, and wiped a strand of it. Greasy bangs brushed to the back of the head, "The seniority here is based on seniority. You have the lowest status and come last. Everyone discusses and decides, and you will serve us from now on!"

"Really?" Jing Hengbo bent his lips and smiled, and the group outside were all stunned, Jing Hengbo suddenly waved his hand, crackling, and a lot of stones smashed down on the group of "nobles".

A large group of people scrambled and yelled, and Jing Hengbo's voice was clear, "According to your sister's qualifications! You are the next generation! Whoever has the big fist will make the rules! I am late, you have to take care of the newcomer! I am the queen, you want to be the queen!" Respect Your Majesty! From now on, you will serve me!"

"Yes, yes, you are a newcomer, you are the queen!" The marquis, noble concubine, princess, general, and generals ran away wildly. Jing Hengbo giggled and was about to close the door when he suddenly saw the boy in black standing on the corridor not far away, coldly looking at himself.

This is an anomaly, she told herself.

Unlike the group of "nobles" who don't know the key, this one really looks like a nobleman. He was wearing a black coarse cloth, but his eyes looked like he was in the world. He lives in a room in the center of the courtyard, and his room is obviously cleaner than others.

His problems don't seem to be as serious as others, except that he is a little paler and has lost a lot of eyebrows. He looks very handsome and handsome.

Jing Hengbo smiled at him, feeling that this was the one who needed to be treated with caution, but the smile was only halfway through when the boy in black suddenly turned around and closed the door with a "squeak".

Jing Hengbo made fun of it, but insisted on laughing that half of the smile. Not everyone in this world will respond to your kindness, but a good mood is yours.

Then she turned around and looked up, Yeluqi's face was no longer on the skylight, she walked out of the house, and saw outside the courtyard wall of the house next to her, a bamboo building had been built at some time, the bamboo building was very high, It is so high that you can overlook her house. The bamboo building is very simple, but it is exquisitely built and green. The only window is on the side facing her. A scent of medicine came from the bamboo building, she was very familiar with the smell, it was the medicine that Yeluqi had been taking recently, the prescription prescribed by Si Rongming, the medicine to control the toxicity.

Jing Hengbo stared blankly at the bamboo building for a while, and shook his head with a smile. Yeluqi is not a warm man, but an Ultraman. He even built the bamboo building overnight.

He is not here now, maybe because he saw that the breakfast was ruined, and he went to look for food again.

Jing Hengbo went to find water to freshen up by himself, and suddenly the door of the main room opened again, and the boy in black came out straight away. Jing Hengbo thought he was going to talk to him, and was considering whether to smile, but the boy had already fixed his eyes. Grabbing past her, he walked to the wall of her house and looked up at the bamboo building.

Jing Hengbo thought that he had a problem with the bamboo building. The bamboo building was too high and could overlook most of the courtyard. He was about to explain a few words when he suddenly saw the boy in black with his eyes closed and his nose twitching, as if he was smelling the medicine.

Then the boy in black opened his eyes, his face was frosty, he sneered twice, took another look at the bamboo building, turned around and left.

He came so suddenly and went so strangely that Jing Hengbo didn't even have a chance to ask what was going on. He only felt that the guy's eyes were not kind, but he couldn't figure it out.

Looking at the tightly closed door over there, she sighed, washed her face hastily with well water, found a bucket, carried water, and prepared to clean the toilet.

She had a low fever and was weak all over. She splashed half a bucket of water and went to the door of the simple latrine, ready to face a dirty and disgusting latrine, but when she pushed open the half wooden door, she couldn't help being stunned.

The latrine was still crude, with only one squatting pit, but it was clean, the cover for the feet was new, the soil had been turned over again, and the wall was actually lined with a layer of log boards.

Jing Hengbo was stunned for a long time, and leaned softly against the wall.

Half a bucket of water reflected her slightly haggard face, she stroked her cheek and gave a wry smile.

The toilet can't be so clean, and it can't be cleaned up by these marquises, princes and concubines, only Yeluqi.

It's just that she didn't expect that he would even do this kind of work of cleaning the women's toilet.

Did he not sleep last night?

There is a kind of affection as deep as a mountain, towering and reliable; as delicate as water, always surrounded.

But she felt unable to bear it and was ashamed to accept it.

She was stunned by the door of the toilet for a long time before she let out a helpless sigh, went back lazily, and went to bed feeling stupid. Sure enough, after a while, Yeluqi dropped another rice in a bamboo tube, which contained fresh fish and shrimp mixed with fragrant rice. I felt a lump in my throat and couldn't eat.

After a while, the "Princess of Dingcheng" knocked on her door, put a bowl of medicinal soup on her table, and left in a hurry, not daring to stay, the bag from the beating on her head was still there.

Jing Hengbo took the medicinal soup and drank it, and didn't ask Qiu Jinfeng if it was inappropriate to prescribe the medicine without checking her pulse. That guy has clairvoyance, everything is the same. It's just that after drinking the medicine, half of the centipede's shiny black shell could be seen at the bottom of the bowl. She felt nauseous and almost vomited it out.

When drinking the medicine, the sunlight was projected on the table, and it was golden and shiny. She was stunned and recognized that it was the best huanghuali wood.

She put down the bowl and turned it around. The room is very small, just a bed, a cabinet and a table. But if you look carefully, you can see that something is wrong. The three pieces of furniture are all precious wood, exquisite workmanship, decorated with flowers and birds, mother-of-pearl, and you can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary products from ordinary people.

This furniture, like the clothes of the "princes, princes, concubines and generals" she found, is a luxury beyond the reality of this place.

A deep curiosity arose in Jing Hengbo's heart. This place like a leprosy hospital has many suspicious points. A mysterious principal who doesn't act like a patient, a simple but luxuriously decorated courtyard, a group of strange patients who claim to be noble but even want to grab food, and that eccentric Qiu Jinfeng, and Luo, who is where the island in the middle of the lake is located. The location between clouds and water, the confinement and mystery of this island...

She has a bad feeling.

Even if I avoid the world and hide in this isolated island for treatment, trouble will come sooner or later.
