The attitudes of the women were intriguing; even when discovered, they remained in high spirits.
Sang Qingxiao sighed, "Is it fun?"
After a moment of silence, one of the women stepped forward and smiled, "It is fun."
"Why bother?"
If others found out, their fate would not be good. The men's revenge and the severe punishments set by the government would leave them tortured before death, worse than dying.
"It's not a bother; we're happy. These days are probably the happiest moments of our lives."
"Do you know what will happen because of this?"
"We know. Xiao Ye will give us a quick end before we face punishment. So, we live each day to the fullest; we are not afraid of death."
"Xiao Ye? Is that the wildflower behind you?"
"It is our salvation."
"Isn't it the same for you? Didn't you give it life? An ordinary wildflower couldn't survive this long, nor could it enter Spirit. Why is it nourished with blood?"
Upon hearing this question, the women all laughed.
The leader laughed even harder, and Sang Qingxiao sensed the bitterness behind their smiles.
"Because there isn't enough water."
The women shot her reproachful glances, as if mocking her for asking such an obvious question.
"Is it really such a simple reason?"
From their expressions and tones, Sang Qingxiao concluded they were speaking the truth. She smiled apologetically; she had initially suspected that they had stumbled upon some evil spirit technique to summon such a demon deliberately.
The leader continued, "The guards give us very little water and food; it's hardly enough to share. Sometimes they even deliberately withhold it or give us spoiled food while they drink and watch us suffer through the iron gate."
Meizhou was not known for its abundant rainfall; even with rain, it was just enough during the summer to sustain us.
In truth, watering the flowers didn't require much water, but within the building, the women's hearts were not united. Some even believed that Chastity Tower was good; if they saw us wasting even a little water on flowers, they would surely make a big deal out of it and report us secretly.
Once reported, family members would scold them, and executions would take place in the building.
Sang Qingxiao interjected, "Will there really be executions in the building?"
Yes, when the Warden brought things in, they also carried out the Punishment. The unfortunate woman would be dragged into the Dark Room. As for what happened inside that dark place, I can't really explain it to you, a young girl who is about to marry.
In short, it’s a fate worse than death, filled with unbearable pain. Both our bodies and dignity have been ruthlessly violated.
For many reasons, we chose to nourish it with blood.
Why would we nourish a Wildflower?
It is the only splash of color in the building, struggling to grow through the cracks in the wall. Initially, we simply hoped it would survive for a long time. Later, we discovered that it could communicate with us in simple ways, and its need for blood grew stronger.
A creature that feeds on blood is not something good; weren’t you all afraid back then?
Afraid? Can anyone truly be more frightening than the human heart?
