Seven bitter flowers

Chapter No.16: Blooming

Ding Xiu rubbed against Zhan Zhao, grinning, "Hey Zhan Zhao, come here."

Zhan Zhao took a step back, looked at Ding Xiu with a malicious look on his face, amused himself, and said, "What are you here? Isn't this your box?"

Ding Xiu answered smoothly: "That's right, the box is mine, the one who unlocked it was Lord Wu, and the one who pulled the switch... shouldn't it be you?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at Ding Xiu, and really put his hand on the switch, then turned to Bai Yutang and asked, "Brother Bai, are you turning it down?"

Zhan Zhao didn't refuse, Ding Xiu was surprised and overjoyed at the same time, before Bai Yutang could speak, he rushed to answer: "Go down, down, pull it quickly." While eager to try, he put his hand on Zhan Zhao's arm, and was caught After Zhan Zhao glared, he smiled and retracted his hand.

Zhan Zhao took a breath, feeling a little nervous in his heart, and then stretched his strength on his arms, and slowly pulled down the switch, only to find that the bearing of the switch was twisted tightly after pulling it down. It's really not easy for ordinary people to open it.

The switch was pulled to the bottom, and there was a soft "click", and there was no movement. For a moment, the breathing of the three of them seemed to stop, and they stared at the box intently, not daring to blink their eyes for a moment.

After a while, maybe it was just a blink of an eye, but to the three of them, it felt like a few hours. There was a "cracking" sound in the box, and the top of the box actually tipped out from the three-finger width to the side.Bai Yutang showed joy and shouted: "It's done!"

Zhan Zhao stared at the box intently, feeling something was wrong in his heart, as the box lid slowly opened, what was revealed was black soil!When the lid of the box was completely opened, sure enough, there was half a box of soil in the box, and a white flower grew in the center of the soil!

It is unusual for flowers to grow in a box, but it has been 20 years since the box was closed, and it is incredible that the flowers have not withered.Zhan Zhao was about to open his mouth to ask, but who knew that there would be another change in the box, the flower was shaking slightly, as if it had been sealed in the box for too long and its branches were stretching out, moving and moving, the originally white petals unexpectedly There is a faint red!

Zhan Zhao held his breath, he was right, the flower was changing color.Just now it seemed that the white petals were stained with traces of blood, but now it seems that the petals are all stained with blood, and it looks especially alluring against the black soil.

By coincidence, Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at Ding Xiu, and with just one glance, Zhan Zhao froze on the spot.

Ding Xiu's face was full of resentment, but after only a moment, her face became calm again, as if that expression had never appeared on her face.However, Zhan Zhao's heart trembled uneasy, her expression just now seemed to be not a flower in front of her, but some deep-felt enemy.Ding Xiu's hands were still trembling slightly, it seemed that the next moment, she was going to pounce on the flower and tear it to pieces.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help reaching out to hold Ding Xiu's arm, and called out, "Axiu."

Ding Xiu seemed to be taken aback by him, and his whole body shook. He looked up at Zhan Zhao, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "Look, it has changed six colors."

Zhan Zhao was stunned by Ding Xiu's strange tone, he turned his head to look at the flower, and within a moment, the flower turned into indigo!

Zhan Zhao couldn't help letting go of Ding Xiu's arm, and saw that the flower changed from green to white, and then from white to purple, and each time it changed a color, the petals became brighter, and when the purple completely faded, the flower was almost glistening. Light up.After a while, the light of the petals gradually dimmed, and the flower became the original ordinary white flower again.

Bai Yutang stared at Ding Xiu, and said in a deep voice, "Is this the Seven Suffering Flower?"

Ding Xiu chuckled softly: "It's pretty, look, it has changed into seven colors in total, a total of seven colors."

Bai Yutang frowned: "Isn't it a flower seed? How could it bloom?

Ding Xiu raised her head, with a puzzled expression on her face: "When did I say it was a flower? Did I say that? Didn't I say that, when the box is opened, you will naturally know what's inside. Now, don't you know?" Is it?" He stretched out his hand, as if wanting to touch the flower.

Zhan Zhao suddenly grabbed Ding Xiu's wrist, looked at Ding Xiu and said in a low voice, "Axiu, tell me, what is the mystery in this flower? What does it mean that it has changed into seven colors?"

Ding Xiu struggled slightly, but she didn't break free, and looked up at Zhan Zhao again: "Zhan Zhao, don't you want to solve the case? Let me tell you, they kill people just to make the flowers bloom," she couldn't help it when she said this Laughing out loud, "But they are all wasting their work, Zhan Zhao is wasting their work, the flowers will never bloom again, they will never know, the flowers will bloom and be buried in this box for 20 years, a full 20 years."

She laughed again for a while, then stopped, and said to Zhan Zhao seriously: "Zhan Zhao, let go of your hand, I just want to pull this flower out, if you don't pull it out, the flower will wither." Breaking free from Zhan Zhao's hand, he carefully grasped the stem of the flower, pulled the flower out of the mud, stretched out his fingers to carefully peel off the mud on the flower, and blew lightly, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and carefully patted the flower Wrapped it up, finally raised his head and smiled at Zhan Zhao, and handed him the flowers.

Zhan Zhao asked in surprise, "Axiu, what are you doing?"

Ding Xiu opened his eyes wide and said: "Take it, how many people have been beaten to death just because of this flower, I'm giving it to you now, why, you don't want it?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, and asked her again: "Axiu, are you too tired today?"

Ding Xiu smiled and said, "I'm not tired. It's Lord Wu who opened the lock, and you who pulled the switch. What should I be tired of?" After a pause, he said, "Do you think I'm not out of my mind now? Normal? I'm not crazy, I just think...it's ridiculous, really ridiculous, really."

She turned her head to look at the box, as if she suddenly remembered something, then reached out and dug in the mud of the box for a long time, and found a small white cloth bag, then turned her head and said to Bai Yutang, "Fifth Master, this is Seven The flower seeds of bitter flowers. At that time... Mo Gu not only left behind the seven bitter flower seeds, but also left behind a seven bitter flower that he cultivated with great painstaking efforts. A flower is really blooming." She said with a long breath, and finally showed a relieved expression.

Zhan Zhao pulled Ding Xiu to sit down, thought for a while and asked her: "Axiu, what's going on, can you tell us now?

Ding Xiu closed her eyes, leaned her whole body on the back of the chair, and said casually, "You take the flowers first, and I'll tell you when I get them."

Zhan Zhao reluctantly took the handkerchief from Ding Xiu's hand, and a faint fragrance came, whether it was the fragrance of flowers or the fragrance from the handkerchief.He didn't dare to hear more, so he put the flowers in his pocket and waited for Ding Xiu to speak.

Ding Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, straightened his body, and said solemnly: "Zhan Zhao, Bai Wuye, please keep your mouth shut about today's matter. No matter who it is, even close relatives and friends, you must not reveal half of it. Otherwise, once If the news leaks out, not only you and I will be killed, but innocent relatives will also be hurt."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also knew that the matter was important, so they solemnly agreed immediately.

Ding Xiu stood up and smiled: "I will definitely tell you both about the cause and effect of this matter, but not today," she said and stretched, "I'm very tired, I want to go back to rest first, Let's talk tomorrow, okay?" Then she walked out, and when she reached the door, she turned around again and said in a low voice, "Zhan Zhao, you must take good care of your things."
