The night wind was chilly and made a "woo-woo" sound.
Under the leafy giant tree, the maid sounded crazy, like a patient who had escaped from a mental hospital.
Huanxiao poked his head from behind the maid and saw what the other party was doing.
I saw black and red blood flowing from the woman's white and smooth wrist and dripping into the tree.
There was only an abyss-like wound on the hand, which showed that the man did not waver at all when he used the knife.
The blood soaked into the soil, and the smell of blood mixed with the fresh smell of soil was unbearable.
The maid seemed oblivious to the pain on her wrist, and still looked crazy, like the most devout believer, willing to dedicate everything to her beloved Lord.
Huan Xiao was puzzled by this.
She actually watered the tree with blood. Why did the maid do this?
Compared with using a large bucket of water, blood has little effect on the tree. I'm afraid that even a bucket of water would not be enough to drain the maid dry.
Instead of giving blood to a tree, give it to a red flower. At least judging from the performance of the safflower, the safflower needs blood irrigation more than the tree.
Look, after smelling the smell of blood, the red flowers around the big tree were like dogs that smelled bones. They rushed out of the garden and stretched their branches to climb on the maid to suck blood.
If their flower branches weren't long enough, the maid would probably be nothing more than a skeleton now.
And what about the big tree? Not absorbing any blood, just letting the blood slide from the trunk into the soil...it looked like just an ordinary tree.
But the fact that the maid did this should mean that this tree is more special.
Otherwise, why didn't she give the blood to the red flower that Mrs. Red Flower liked, but to a tree that didn't need human blood?
...Of course, it’s possible that the maid is simply crazy. There is no need for any reason for what a madman does.
Seeing the maid's face getting paler due to blood loss, Huan Xiao couldn't help but say:
"Miss maid, what are you doing here?"
The sudden sound did not alarm the maid.
I saw that she calmly opened the wound on her wrist wider, then turned to Huanxiao with a weird smile.
With the sound of blood flowing in the background, she said jealously:
"Only I love her the most. You lucky outsiders are just Madam's playthings. Madam will definitely understand my sincerity. Only I, only I can win Madam's favor!"
Her eyes were wide and round, as if they would jump out of their sockets at any time, which was horrifying and exaggerated.
Hearing this, Huan Xiao finally understood. It turned out that this maid had a morbid love for Mrs. Honghua.
If that's the case, it's easy to handle.
So Huan Xiao said sincerely to the maid:
"You are right. My love for Madam is still too shallow. Compared with you, I feel ashamed. Sure enough, only a sincere person like my sister deserves Madam's love."
As if she didn't expect Huanxiao to say that, the maid was obviously stunned for a moment.
But then, enthusiasm appeared in her eyes:
"That's right, only I deserve Madam's love!"
Feeling that the maid's hostility had weakened, Huanxiao began to talk:
"Sister's actions like this must surely move Madam. But in my humble opinion, this tree does not absorb blood at all. In this case, Madam may not think highly of Sister because of it. Does this really make sense?"
Seemingly irritated by what Huanxiao said, the maid clenched her fists, and the blood on her wrists flowed more happily.
She said to Huan Xiao angrily and disdainfully:
"That's because you don't understand Madam. I am the only one who knows Madam best. To Madam, this tree is far more valuable than the red flowers in the garden!"
"Even if it doesn't accept your blood?" Huanxiao asked.
After hearing this, the maid seemed to suddenly fall into a nightmare and murmured:
"...Don't accept it? No, no... By the way, it must be that my despicable blood cannot satisfy Master Shu. It must be that I didn't drain enough blood."
Then, she grinned horribly, cut off the flesh from her wrists with sharp scissors, and placed it religiously under the big tree.
The maid no longer paid attention to Huanxiao, but said to the giant tree:
"Hurry up and enjoy your dinner. You will definitely accept me, right? As long as I am recognized, Madam will definitely notice me. Eat quickly, I still have... and a lot, all of which can be given to you..."
As she spoke, she acted like a madman, cruelly attacking her body.
Piece after piece, fresh meat was cut off and dropped on the dirty soil, like some kind of strange sacrificial ritual.
Huan Xiao stood aside and watched quietly, with no intention of going to help.
After a while, a lot of bright red minced meat appeared under the big tree, and the owner of the minced meat seemed to be dissatisfied with the pieces of meat he had cut off, and his actions became more and more fierce.
Until...the maid lost too much blood, and she fell to the ground and stopped moving.
But at this moment, the red flowers in the garden moved!
The bright red flowers were like trapped beasts, pulling at the branches frantically, and the flower heads tried their best to reach towards the maid's body.
With a "click" sound, the red flower's branch was torn off because of its excessive movement!
Huan Xiao thought he would see Honghua lying on the ground like an old man and not moving. However, he saw Honghua still full of vitality even after leaving the branch, crawling towards the maid's body.
They are like a pack of vicious wolves that will eat the prey that is close to their mouths at all costs.
The soft petals touched the ground, but they did not look sluggish at all. Instead, they were like tough weeds, blooming with vitality.
In just a few seconds, dozens of red flowers swarmed up!
There were flowers attached to the maid's body, like a scene from a fairy tale. But reality is crueler and more bloody than fairy tales.
But in an instant, Huan Xiao blinked, and the body of the maid on the ground disappeared.
Along with the pieces of meat that fell on the ground and the blood that seeped into the soil, there was no trace at all.
The original position of the corpse has been occupied by gorgeous red flowers...
The red flowers were lying on the ground, and the broken branches stretched out into the soil, intending to take root directly under the big tree.
At this time, they seemed to hear movement, and the two maids walked along the path to the big tree.
They simply ignored Huan Xiao.
Seeing the red flowers under the tree, the two took it for granted. They skillfully dug out the red flowers under the tree with the tools in their hands and planted them back in the garden...
After the two maids finished their work, they walked past Huan Xiao without looking away, as if they couldn't see the living person Huan Xiao.
However, at this moment, a wicked maid suddenly had a whim and stretched out her hand to push Huanxiao into the flowers.
Always paying attention to the movements of the two people, Huanxiao saw a hand reaching out to her!
So, she took two steps forward and let the person who wanted to push her push her away.
"ah!!"
The maid who was about to push someone lost her balance and instantly fell into the sea of flowers.
The beautiful red flowers are very beautiful, but when they touch the skin of a living person, they suddenly change their appearance.
Hundreds of flowers wrapped the maid. In less than a second, when they dispersed, the person who was originally wrapped in the flowers was gone, leaving only a few scraps of cloth...
