caged robin

A group of people walked down layer by layer, opening the door to look at each room.

Most of the rooms are unused and filled with sundries. Judging from the dust on the door lock, it has not been opened for at least a year.Sean pretended to look at each room attentively, but gradually got tired of it, he turned around, saw Abner wandering around absent-mindedly, his face darkened, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice: "How much more do you want to see! "

Abner smiled, "Hurry up."

Sean had to keep reading.

Abner glanced at the keys in Algernon's hand. The keys on each layer had slightly different colors, some were greenish in copper, some were black in copper, and the keys in this layer were all reddish in copper.Dozens of blue robins flew out of the window, standing side by side at the window, chirping, and tilting their heads to look at Algernon.

Algernon was taken aback, then waved his hand roughly, "Where is the mockingbird?"

Abner snorted coldly, and looked at the robin outside the window.

The group went to the next floor, and when they were about to open the first door, Algernon frowned suddenly, and repeatedly turned over the key in his hand, and the copper key jingled.

"What's wrong?" Sean asked.

Algernon wiped his sweat and apologized: "I forgot to take the key on this floor, why don't I go down and get it again?"

Abner stepped forward and said to Sean: "Your Highness, why don't we skip this floor? It's okay to miss this floor. You see, Lord Algernon is sweating from exhaustion."

Sean glanced at him and nodded.

Going down another floor, this floor is less dilapidated than the other floors, and there is a small living room in the center, surrounded by exquisite glasses and brocade decorations.Sean's face suddenly became heavy. He crossed the living room, walked directly to the door of a room, and said to Algernon, "Open the door."

Algernon was taken aback, and said, "This is the bedroom of the Duke..."

"Can I not know? Come on!"

Algernon opened the door, and Sean hesitated at the door again. After seeing every facility in the room clearly, he stepped in slowly.Others wanted to follow in, but were stopped by Abner.

"Leave Your Highness alone for a while," Abner said.

Sean saw the harp on the bed at a glance, he frowned, a surge of anger surged, he rushed over, picked up the harp and lifted it above his head.

"Sean!" Abner called to stop Sean, "Don't do this."

Xiao En glared at him, his eyes flushed with anger, "Why... why is uncle willing to fall into the hands of a broken violin."

Abner asked the others to wait outside the door, he walked in, closed the door, opened the window of the room, handed a piece of cloth to Sean, and said softly: "Sean, you should be grateful that your uncle has this Take the harp, some people go through life empty-handed and with nothing."

Sean glanced at him and said, "Uncle said he loved me the most."

The corner of Abner's mouth twitched, and Sean was like a wayward child when he mentioned his uncle.

He sighed and said, "You have passed your coming-of-age ceremony, why do you still say such capricious things?"

"Are you questioning me? Abner, my father wanted to push me into a fire pit since I was a child. It was my uncle who saved me. The first time I spoke was 'uncle'. In the days to come, If it wasn't for my uncle, I wouldn't have grown up to be so big..."

"Sean," Abner interrupted Sean's utterance, looking seriously into his eyes and asked, "do you love your uncle the same as Adrian's love for him?"

"What?" Sean was taken aback.

Abner turned his eyes away and said, "You can take care of it by yourself."

Abner opened the door and walked out, closed the door by the way, and said to Algernon: "Your Highness is not feeling well right now, prepare some bread and honey for him, and he will go down to eat when he is better."

The Duke loved this nephew the most during his lifetime, and now that Sean thinks about others, Algernon can understand.He glanced at the door and went downstairs.

After Algernon left, Abner left Herbert and Tommen at the door.

"Where are you going?" asked Herbert.

Abner made a small gesture and said, "Get down to business. If Algernon comes, tell me I went for a stroll. If Sean wakes up, let him go down and eat something to refresh himself."

After speaking, Abner dragged Oreas and ran upstairs.As soon as I ran upstairs, a group of robins flew over with a bunch of keys in their beaks.There was a blue tint to the copper, a color that was missing from the key Algernon had just brought.

"Thank you!" Abner took the key, took out the cloth bag from his pants pocket, and poured out the crumbs inside, but the birds did not happily peck the crumbs as usual, but circled around Aurea. Screech chirped.

Abner twitched the corners of his mouth and snorted softly, "Hmph, I've been raised for so long, and I was abducted by you all at once."

Oreas chuckled, stroked a bird standing on his hand, and sent it to Abner.Abner lightly poked the bird's red chest with his fingertips, and said, "Little white-eyed wolf."

The bird chirped and flew to Abner's face, rubbed his soft head against his cheek, and Abner patted his wings and said, "It's too late, it's useless to please now." .”

As soon as Abner finished speaking, the rest of the birds flew to Abner's side, occupying Abner's head, shoulders, and arms, rubbing and pecking affectionately.

Abner smiled, and stroked their heads one by one, "Okay, okay, I see, you are not white-eyed wolves, go, I have other things to do now."

The robins circled above the heads of Abner and Aureas for a while, then flew away chirping.

Abner grabbed the key and walked forward, moved closer to Oreas, and said in a low voice: "After a while, look for the rooms with holes in the wall one by one. There should be a murderer there. We have to ask him for Adriana. En's legs."

Oreas frowned, and looked down the long corridor.

The two walked lightly, and soon found that the room at the end of the corridor was very long, and there was a gap at the bottom of the wall blocked by a wooden board.Judging from the size of this gap, it should be used for food delivery.

Abner and Oreas looked at each other, nodded, and then took out the keys and looked at the differences between these keys lightly. The only difference between the keys was the number of small depressions on the key surface.Since this room is at the end of the corridor, Abner picked out the key with only one small indentation and the key with the most indentation, then gently picked up the lock, tried the key with one indentation first, found it wrong, and quickly turned it on again. Tried the ones with the most dents, but still not right.

Abner was stunned. He repeatedly tried the two keys in turn, but found that they were both wrong.

Sweat slowly seeped out of his forehead, Abner wiped the sweat away, and saw Oreas casually looking at other rooms.

"Oreas!" Abner glared at him.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound, the board was pushed away, and a long-haired hand was stretched out, and a sharp voice came from inside: "Are you here to pick me up?"

Abner's hand trembled, and the key almost fell to the ground.

Oreas caught the key, put down the two keys, and shook the key ring gently.

"Oreas, what are you doing?" Abner gritted his teeth.

Seeing Abner's exasperated look, Oreas chuckled lightly, picked out the second-to-last key, stuck it into the lock, and opened it.

Abner: "..."

The door was pushed open, and there was a sound that seemed to be smiling, not laughing, or crying, and Abner walked in, and saw that there was still a wall in this room, with a small opening and a door in the wall.He glanced at the lock on the door, this should be the last key.

"Are you here to pick me up? Hahahahaha..."

A half face suddenly appeared in the mouth, with dark eyes and long hair around the face.

It's a blood monkey.

The blood monkey stared at the two for a while, and said, "Huh? Two new friends? Are you here to pick me up?"

Abner said coldly: "I'm sorry, it's not. We're here to ask you for a debt."

"Oh? I've never been in debt. Who are you?"

The blood monkey blinked its big black eyes, and the corners of Abner's mouth twitched, feeling the urge to gouge out his eyeballs.

"Let me just say, where did you put Adrian's leg?" Abner asked.

The blood monkey's eyeballs rolled, "Who? Say it again?"

"Ocadon, don't pretend to be with me! Let me ask again, where is Adrian's leg?!" Abner rushed in front of the blood monkey, pulled out the moonrise, and forced him to the entrance of the cave.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha..." The blood monkey cried and laughed again.

Abner frowned.

"You're just a little brat trying to show your prestige through the wall," the blood monkey lowered his voice, and said, "Why do you think his legs are still there? Since you know my name, you should know it too... Ah It's been nearly three years since Derian died."

Abner was taken aback.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha...little brat...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..." The blood monkey laughed wildly.

Abner glanced at him and said coldly, "His legs are still there."

The blood monkey stopped smiling, and grinned, revealing two rows of big gray teeth.

Abner chuckled lightly and said, "You didn't even throw away one of Adrian's hairs, let alone two legs?"

"You cut his curly hair, and instead of throwing it away, you made it straight like yours. You burned Adrian's skin to make him grow hair like yours. And you chopped His legs shouldn’t be as simple as making him unable to meet his sweetheart, right?” Seeing the blood monkey’s complexion changed, Abner felt confident, and continued, “Your legs shouldn’t be intact either, right? "

The blood monkey's eyes widened suddenly, as if irritated, and roared: "The legs are more flexible than the original ones! Stronger! More comfortable! I'm doing it for Adrian's good!"

"You are killing people!" Abner roared, his eyes full of anger.

"Murder? Hahahahahaha..." The blood monkey laughed again, "Don't you know who killed Adrian? Then I'll tell you, it's..."

"You," Abner narrowed his eyes, continued, "Oh no, you are more disgusting than killing people."

"You said I was disgusting? Oh my god," the blood monkey's voice was inexplicably calm. He withdrew from the small mouth, walked around the back room, and said to himself, "He said I was disgusting, oh... how can I let him know that I am How cute? Oh... Let me see, this kid's eyes are so ugly, I put cow's eyes on him, oh... those teeth are too white, I put gray ones on him, the hand holding the knife is like a chicken It looks like claws, I have to raise him white and fat..."

Abner felt a chill.

There was a heavy collar around the blood monkey's neck, and it made noise every time it took a step. The skinny legs were strange, boom, boom, shaking the ground.

Finally, the blood monkey stopped talking to himself, rolled his eyes, ran to Xiaokou, and grinned, "Ah... little boy, I'll make a deal with you."

Abner glanced at him and said, "There are no brats here, I'm afraid there is something wrong with your eyes."

"Ah..." The blood monkey smacked its lips, "Your Excellency."

Abner: "..."

"My lord, let me make a deal with you"

"what?"

"I'll take you to find Adrian's leg, but you have to let me go."

Abner glanced at him and said, "Aren't you too profitable for this deal? Why are you locked up here? I can't afford it."

The blood monkey bared its teeth and said, "An ungrateful and cowardly master."

Abner snorted softly, and suddenly a sharp wooden stick poked straight at Abner's eyes from the hole. Before Abner could react, Oreas had already snapped the stick and quickly grabbed it. Blood monkey's neck.

"Where is it?" Oreas asked in a deep voice.

The blood monkey was stunned, and immediately put away his cheap smile, moved his neck with difficulty, and said, "It's...on it, but, but without me, you, you can't find it."

Oreas pinched even tighter, and the blood monkey's long tongue stuck out.

At this time, several robins flew outside the window, screaming desperately around Abner, Abner frowned, and said to Aureas: "Algernon is looking for the key of this floor, I'm afraid it's already gone. Suspicious, we don't have that much time to find it."

Oreas glanced at the blood monkey who kept rolling his eyes, and said to Abner, "Go and open the door."

Abner took a deep breath, picked up the key with the most dimples, and poked it into the lock.
