Ye Zhaoyu was being carried, and she felt as if she was being carried into the cellar.
Hearing the sound of a pocket being untied, Ye Zhaoyu quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
After everyone had left, Ye Zhaoyu opened her eyes and looked around.
An oil lamp was lit inside, its dim light illuminating the small space.
Besides Ye Zhaoyu, there were others, all of whom were huddled together in fear, hugging their knees; there were men, women, and children.
I counted roughly, and there were about 15 people in total.
Ling Yunjue also woke up.
When I woke up, I saw Ye Zhaoyu. Following her gaze, I saw people huddled together in fear.
Soon, another person came down from above. He was a man with a fleshy mole on the right side of his mouth. The mole alone made people notice the mole and ignore the rest of his appearance.
"Oh, you're awake. Good. Drink this bowl of water yourself." The meat mole brought over two bowls of water and placed them in front of Ye Zhaoyu and Ling Yunjue respectively.
"We're tied up, how are we supposed to drink?" Ye Zhaoyu asked.
There are probably other things in the drug.
I had only been awake for a short time when my mouth became incredibly dry.
I want to drink water as soon as I see it, without anyone telling me to.
Looking at the group of trafficked people next to me, they were just crying silently, and everyone looked at that bowl with fear in their eyes.
So it was laced with a drug that would make people lose their voice if they drank it.
"You don't have hands, I'll feed you." The fleshy mole picked up the water and fed it to Ye Zhaoyu.
After Ye Zhaoyu finished drinking, Ling Yunjue drank.
A moment later, Ye Zhaoyu felt a slight itch in her throat, but it quickly subsided.
Ye Zhaoyu knew that the antidote she had taken had worked.
Ling Yunjue sensed it too, but neither of them made a sound; they simply watched what they did.
Ye Zhaoyu estimated that it was around morning when Rouwuzi gave each of them two coarse cornbread buns and a bowl of water.
It wasn't until the morning of the second day, around 3 a.m., that they managed to tie the 15 people together with a rope.
When they brought the person to the foot of the mountain, it was just barely dawn.
Each person carried 20 jin of grain, a little salt, and some dry food for the journey.
There were 22 people in total, including the crooks, going up the mountain. There were people watching them from the front, back, and middle. They were also equipped with guns, including hunting rifles and pistols, a total of 6 guns.
The equipment is plentiful.
Ye Zhaoyu and Ling Yunjue did not make any rash moves and followed them.
They wanted to know if the mountain people they were talking about were the same mountain people they thought they were.
After walking for a while, these five people weren't in a hurry. Rather than rushing on their way, they seemed to prefer staying alive.
They eat when it's time to eat, drink when it's time to drink, and rest when it's time to rest.
They even prepared a cotton-padded coat for everyone. Ye Zhaoyu watched as they took out a pile of cotton-padded coats from a cave, one for each person and two or three extra, which were then put back into the cave by that person.
This person frequently travels this route and transports people; they've prepared such complete sets of cotton-padded clothing.
After walking about a third of the way, Ye Zhaoyu realized that it was the path leading to the bottom of the cliff.
Since it's the road that leads there, we need to find a way to get rid of the people.
Ye Zhaoyu held out her hand to the fleshy mole, looking pitiful.
Meat Mole looked at the claws that Ye Zhaoyu offered to her. The ten fingers were slender and fair, and the skin on her fair and delicate wrists was chafed by the rope, giving them a broken beauty.
Imagine those beautiful hands holding something purplish-red, a clash of black and white.
"Want to get rid of it?" the fleshy mole asked.
Ye Zhaoyu nodded quickly.
"What if you run away?" Meat Mole didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
Ye Zhaoyu quickly shook her head to indicate that she didn't know how, and anxiously made "ah ah ah" noises.
"Fine, I'll let you go, but you have to serve all of us well."
Ye Zhaoyu nodded quickly in agreement.
After Ye Zhaoyu's hands were untied, she began to serve the seven people who were escorting her.
They diligently served them tea and water.
Ling Yunjue watched as Ye Zhaoyu diligently drugged them.
No one knows how Ye Zhaoyu hid the medicine. She was searched three times, but the poison was still found on her.
Ye Zhaoyu felt relieved when she saw that everyone had drunk water.
Waiting for the toxin to be discovered.
It took the 22 people almost three days to reach the bottom of the cliff.
Just as they were about to arrive, the fleshy mole suddenly became happy and collapsed straight down.
"Boss...!" Before the word "boss" could be uttered, everyone collapsed one after another.
After Ye Zhaoyu handed over all the guns, she untied Ling Yunjue's ropes, leaving the others untouched.
Who knows if there are any accomplices of the kidnappers inside, who infiltrated to prevent them from escaping.
"I'll stay here and watch over things. Go and call someone over quickly!" Ye Zhaoyu said to Ling Yunjue.
"Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible."
The remaining 13 bound people looked at Ye Zhaoyu expectantly. Ye Zhaoyu could only explain, "I don't know you, and I'm not sure if there are any bad guys among you, so I'll wait for my partner to call the police before untying you. I hope you can understand. Of course, we will also help you remove the drug that made you mute."
Ye Zhaoyu believed she had explained herself clearly and had done nothing wrong, so she sat aside and waited for Ling Yunjue to come over.
Among those who were tied up, a girl stared at Ye Zhaoyu with eyes full of hatred.
Ye Zhaoyu had already sensed it, but it had nothing to do with her.
At worst, we can just not give her the antidote, or just label her.
Ling Yunjue quickly brought 10 people over.
Ye Zhaoyu handed over all ownership to him and went to find something to eat.
She's been eating dry rations for almost four days and hasn't had meat in a long time, so she's going to hunt for meat.
When Ye Zhaoyu returned with a pheasant and a rabbit, Ling Yunjue was still busy. "Comrade Ling, would you like some meat?" Ye Zhaoyu handed the pheasant and rabbit to Ling Yunjue.
She can't cook.
"Eat, wait for me. Here are some lipsticks from the people we caught before, you can take a look." Ling Yunjue put the things on the table, took the pheasant and rabbit, and prepared to cook.
Ye Zhaoyu picked up the statement on the table and began to read it.
A group of people, ranging from 15 to 20, are sent here almost every two weeks.
Besides men, pregnant women and children were also among those who participated in drug and poison testing.
And what if all the patient's blood was replaced with the blood of a healthy person? Would the person become healthier, and would the disease disappear?
Dozens of people died just from having their blood drained.
Ye Zhaoyu grew angrier the more she flipped through the pages; she was simply inhuman.
After reading through all the information, Ye Zhaoyu also looked for her mother's information.
Three years ago, a woman came here. Her blood could neutralize most toxins, making her immune to all poisons. In addition, her blood also had a detoxifying function.
However, it was smuggled out of the country three years ago.
Without a photo, Ye Zhaoyu couldn't be sure if this person was her mother. She wished she could meet them, since she and her mother looked very alike and were easily mistaken for each other.
