After Shen Jiaojiao sacrificed herself to save a girl who fell into the water, she transmigrated into the body of a cannon fodder character in a book. The original Shen Jiaojiao was the sole daught...

Chapter 58 Jumping into the Poison Pit

Chu Tianling scooped a bowl of rice for himself, took a bite of each dish, and finished it just in time.

"Tianqi, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to get back to work over there!"

"Yes, yes, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Chu Tianqi nodded repeatedly.

I really took advantage of His Highness today.

Originally, the guards only had three dishes and a soup for themselves, but they could ask for more rice.

Since following His Highness the Crown Prince, my meals have become five dishes and one soup.

Today was past the appointed time, and he went to the kitchen saying it was for His Highness the Crown Prince.

The chef prepared 20 dishes, and that's only because the box was too small; otherwise, there would have been even more.

His Highness the Crown Prince can't eat much, so what's left over will just benefit me.

Hehehe, just thinking about it makes me happy.

Chu Tianling had a cup of tea on his table, and he would take a sip every now and then.

Whenever he drank, he would look up at Zhou Tianqi, who was eating with great relish.

That's quite an appetite!

In the end, he scraped all the rice out of the rice bucket.

He couldn't help but think to himself: With his appetite, it's a good thing he met me, otherwise who could afford to feed him? He would have eaten any family out of house and home!

Could it be that this guy chose the Crown Prince's residence just so he could get a full meal there?

Hmm, that's possible.

Now let's talk about Fu Hang.

After returning from the Crown Prince's residence, I received a mission to capture the missing child.

Over the past few days, Wang Dazhuang has been subtly getting closer to Fu Hang, appearing quietly by Fu Hang's side and gradually closing the distance until they can exchange a few words.

Seeing Fu Hang frown, he immediately stepped forward: "Hey bro, are you having some trouble? Tell me and I'll help you figure something out! More people, more solutions, right?"

"Let go! Don't touch me." Fu Hang stared intently at the hand on his shoulder.

My mother said that men should also protect themselves when they are away from home! Besides, I am very good-looking, and this lawyer Wang just happens to like men.

I can't let him take advantage of me.

Attorney Wang casually removed his hand from Fu Hang's shoulder and chuckled, "Hey! What are you afraid of? I just think we've known each other for so long, we're practically friends. It's normal for friends to put their arms around each other, right?"

Fu Hang said seriously, "No, a man should keep himself pure! You're ruining my reputation!"

My mother said that only a man who is clean can receive his wife's truest love.

Therefore, you should protect yourself before you meet your true love.

Attorney Wang touched his nose and exclaimed, "Hey!"

This silly kid is actually quite funny.

His eyes darted around, and he immediately became sincere: "Don't overthink it. I just want to finish the mission as soon as possible and go back. You see, I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past few days. It's been so uncomfortable."

Fu Hang carefully examined the expression on his face and found him to be fairly honest.

Besides, there are brothers all around, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

"Do you remember that missing child? His Highness the Crown Prince said that this person should have some connection with Peach Blossom Village, and asked me to find a way to capture him."

Attorney Wang recalled the location where the child had appeared.

"Fu Hang, I've noticed that the kid always appears near that big poison pit. We can try to ambush him there!"

The child did appear three times, but disappeared when he reached the large poison pit.

Fu Hang had no better ideas, so he immediately gathered 10 people and set off together to secretly ambush around the large poison pit.

This tunnel has been cleaned up in the past few days.

All the bodies were swept away and thrown outside, making the passageway much easier to walk through now.

I was lucky today. I had only been lying in ambush for a short while when I saw a blurry little figure slowly appear in the distance.

Fu Hang gestured to the people behind him, and they rushed out and chased after him.

The little guy wasn't very tall to begin with, so he couldn't run fast and was quickly surrounded.

"Don't move! We won't hurt you, just come with us."

Fu Hang looked at the little guy whose face he couldn't see clearly and coaxed him gently.

Who knows, this child might have been abducted and left alone.

It looks completely safe and not dangerous at all.

Fu Hang tentatively approached slowly.

The little guy suddenly turned around and crawled between the legs of a guard. Behind him was a terrible pit, filled with countless poisonous creatures.

"Grab him! Don't let him get away!"

Fu Hang shouted from behind.

However, the most terrifying outcome still occurred, and the little guy leaped with all his might.

He jumped into the huge poison pit, and none of the 10 grown men could catch the little kid.

It's over.

This person is definitely going to die!

What a pity for that little life.

Fu Hang felt a pang of sadness. The child was so young; if he hadn't insisted on sending people to arrest him, he wouldn't have died.

They looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Attorney Wang took the opportunity to pat him on the shoulder, offering him silent comfort.

He was feeling down at the moment, so he didn't refuse immediately.

"Why isn't the child making a sound?" Attorney Wang suddenly asked.

Everyone looked at him, and he continued, "Logically speaking, with so many poisonous insects down there, anyone who fell in would be bitten and screaming, right?"

Ah! That makes sense.

They exchanged glances and slowly approached the large pit.

The first time I came here and saw this huge toxic pit, the scene was so terrifying that I still feel lingering fear.

Fu Hang stepped forward with a stern face. The pit was quite deep, and a chilling sound came from the bottom of it.

I leaned closer to take a look.

Thousands of poisonous insects surged in the pit, making the viewer's scalp tingle.

Using his powerful spiritual sense, he searched the area from where the little guy had jumped down and indeed saw what appeared to be a protrusion.

Various venomous snakes and insects writhed on the protrusion, making it impossible to tell whether they were actually small creatures.

However, everyone clearly already believed that it was the little ghost who had already been killed.

"Sigh! Such a young age, what a pity. I don't know who his family is, otherwise I could have given them some money!"

“We should have stepped back just now. So many people were surrounding him and trying to grab him. He must have been terrified. He's just a child!”

"What do you mean? Are you blaming us? I've seen this kid loitering around here several times; there's clearly something wrong with him!"

"Exactly! No normal person would dare show up in a place like this!"

Everyone started making excuses, and the argument was driving Fu Hang crazy.

He thought it would be a simple task, but he didn't expect someone to die in the end, which made him feel bad.

"Alright! Stop arguing, everyone get out!" Fu Hang said, somewhat annoyed.

Looking at the bulge below, he felt guilty.

I want to be alone for a while.

Soon, everyone else left.

Only Attorney Wang remained.

"Well, don't take it too hard. It's not entirely your fault!" Attorney Wang tried to comfort him carefully.

He ended up meeting Fu Hang's cold eyes.

Fine, just shut up, okay?

Just stay quietly with him.

Suddenly, Wang Dazhuang opened his eyes wide, pointed downwards, and said in a trembling voice, "Look...look...down there!"

Fu Hang looked down in confusion.

What!

how so!
