Chapter 22 Bloody Bandages
Charlie was leaning in the darkest corner of the cell, watching the farce outside.
He had met Xiaodie several times, and had a few words with Miss Elizabeth at the cabin.
It is the instinct of most men to strike up a conversation with pretty and lovely ladies.
Charlie almost stood up and said hello to the two ladies.
But being locked up here is not something worth showing off.
At the very least, wearing clothes that are in tatters and stained with grass and leaves is not suitable for meeting ladies.
If he had been dressed more decently, he might have stood up and waved to them.
In this situation, Charlie just leaned against the wall and watched what happened outside.
If he had really stood up and said hello to the ladies, what happened later would not have happened.
When the gunfire rang out, he felt a heat on his shoulders.
Charlie reached out and touched his shoulder, his hands were covered with sticky blood.
He pressed the wound firmly to stop the blood from flowing out.
Xiaodie and Charlie have no grudges, nor are they interested in shooting at random.
Of course she didn't mean to target Charlie with that shot.
The shot hit Charlie completely unexpectedly.
Xie Sheng's eyes had not yet fully adapted to the light in the dungeon, and she was too lazy to stare at those dirty cattle thieves.
So he fired a shot into the corner of the cell where no one seemed to be.
She never imagined that there was someone sitting there.
After being shot, Charlie did not perform any behavior such as screaming loudly because of the human body's instinct to suppress pain.
So at this time, no one knew that Xiaodie's shot hit Charlie.
Xiaodie and Elizabeth looked at the number plate at the door of each cell and stopped when they walked outside Xie Sheng's cell.
Xie Sheng was lying on the haystack with a straw stick in his mouth, playing with a bunch of keys in his hand.
Captain Wallace was still lying quietly in the corner of the cell.
Xie Sheng was in the dark, and when the two ladies looked inside, he spotted them earlier.
I didn't expect to see two young ladies in the dungeon.
Xie Sheng quickly stood up from the haystack and strode to the iron fence.
Xiaodie's eyes widened, her body pressed tightly against the iron fence, and her hands stretched as far as possible into the iron fence.
Xie Sheng gently held her two hands.
Although the two of them hadn't said a word yet, seeing the situation in front of her, Elizabeth knew that the two of them were a couple.
There was a trace of sadness on her face, she thought she still had some chance.
But after seeing the current situation.
Elizabeth finally understood the relationship between the two people.
She didn't know what she was thinking, so she reached out her hand helplessly and regretfully.
Elizabeth pinched Xie Sheng's arm, took two steps back, and left the iron fence.
"Talk slowly"
"You are really wronged. How could they treat you like this!"
"It's okay. I'll be out soon. It's very smelly here and will stink you up. You've already seen me and I'm fine. You can go out quickly. After I go out, we will have plenty of time to talk."
"What key are you holding in your hand? Open the door. I want to go in too."
"This is not my bedroom, and it is very dangerous here, so I won't invite you in."
When two people were talking through the iron fence.
Payne strode into the temporary ward on the first floor of the castle.
The moment he opened the door.
An extremely strong smell of blood emerged from it, making the devil intoxicated.
At this moment, Payne's head seemed to have been hit hard by a giant hammer.
He felt as if he was going to explode from the inside out.
It seemed as if something was trying to come out of his body and pounce on the lightly or seriously injured.
But thinking of Mr. Coat's words, the whole castle was cursed and everyone was in danger.
My current situation seems to be cursed, so I have to defeat myself and defeat the curse.
The skinned demon in Payne's body has not been fully inherited due to the premature death of his mother's body.
Except when life is threatened, instinctive awareness and abilities will prevail.
Most of the time, it thinks of itself as a human being.
And in his heart, he is the young master and future successor of this castle.
So you can't do this kind of "animal" behavior.
Reason finally defeated instinct, and Payne finally restrained the "inexplicable" impulse.
In addition to the wounded in the temporary ward, there were also some maids who were busy taking care of these people.
Payne looked at these maids one by one, trying to find Elena.
But no trace of Elena was found.
Payne felt nervous, thinking of the "old doctor" who had ulterior motives for his secret love.
Before the Industrial Revolution, wizards in many places were also local doctors.
In many cases, doctors are also regarded as a kind of wizard.
"God knows if that old guy lured Elena somewhere and used a wizard!"
Payne waved and called a middle-aged maid over.
The middle-aged maid quickly put down her work and ran all the way to Payne.
"Master Payne, what are your orders?"
"Where did the bad old man take Elena?"
"Master Payne, I don't know which old man you are talking about?"
"I mean the doctor from the town, I think his name is Ai Meihua, or something."
"Are you talking about Dr. Edward? He is only thirty years old."
"You are ten years older than me, so you are not considered an old man. What law stipulates this!"
"Yes, young master, Dr. Edward is really an old man."
The maid had no choice but to agree with Payne.
She said in her heart: "According to you, I am already forty years old this year, so I should be considered an old lady!"
"I'm not here to discuss with you whether he is an old man. I want to know where he took Elena. Is he in a clinic in the town?"
Payne's tone was very stern. He was very afraid that the damn old man would take Elena away from the castle and do something strange.
"Nothing like that, it seems that someone fainted in the guest room of the castle, and the doctor and Elena went to the guest room upstairs to treat someone."
Payne breathed a sigh of relief, "That's not possible. After I finish collecting these exorcism materials, I must take Elena back to the tower and let her follow an old man who is greedy for her beauty. It's too dangerous!"
At this time, a smell ten times stronger than the smell of blood in the air in the room rushed straight into Payne's nose.
Payne couldn't help but look in the direction where the smell was coming from.
A sturdy manservant was walking towards the door carrying a large bamboo basket.
Payne strode after him: "Stop"
The manservant heard Payne's shout and turned his head to look this way.
"Ah, it's Master Payne. What's the matter with calling me?"
