He had just finally persuaded Dennis to allow him to take Bai Ying and He Shiwen down the mountain, but who could have thought that the two of them would be taken away by the goddess right after?
Even if I had said something nice to get away with it, I wouldn't have been locked up like this!
Even though the two people in front of him hold important positions in his heart, Bai Mo finds it difficult not to be angry.
"But I..."
He Shiwen felt a little aggrieved by Bai Mo's words. The charlatan, the Goddess, insisted on arresting them, and she couldn't stop it! Now everything was put on her head.
"Second brother," Bai Ying couldn't bear to see her second brother being so mean to He Shiwen, so she spoke up for her, "This was all my idea. Why are you blaming He Shiwen?"
"Little sister, you...ah!"
Bai Mo wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a long sigh.
When did his usually well-behaved and obedient little sister become so opinionated? Bai Ying's act of escaping his protection made him feel extremely frustrated.
"Wait, I'll go find the leader to rescue you!"
Bai Mo couldn't really sit back and watch, so he turned around and went back to find Dennis. As long as Dennis was willing to ask for the person back, the Goddess would release him even if she was unwilling.
"Need not."
Bai Ying's calm voice sounded behind him.
She sat calmly on the straw pile, her eyes filled with unwavering stubbornness. "Rather than begging to be rescued by enemy agents, I'd rather stay here until I die."
Bai Mo was so angry that his temples were throbbing, "Little sister, stop being so willful!"
"Second brother, what you said really means you should not make the same mistake again and again! Don't forget that we are Chinese. This is the education we received since childhood. So how can you be a traitor and help foreigners to harm the country!" Bai Ying retorted.
"...Is this how you view Second Brother?"
"It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is that you do it yourself."
After saying that, the two of them stared at each other without saying anything, looking at each other as if they were more like enemies than family members.
Sensing the strange atmosphere between the siblings, He Shiwen quickly stepped in to mediate and ease the situation, saying, "Alright, alright, we're all family, why are you arguing? You both care about each other and consider each other, so let's put aside the internal fighting for now."
Perhaps He Shiwen's persuasion worked, Bai Mo first showed weakness and said: "Bai Ying, I am your brother, I can't really ignore you, wait for me to come back and save you."
Then, he looked at He Shiwen again, his eyes much gentler, and said solemnly: "While I'm away, my sister will trouble you."
Is this the first time Bai Mo has said something soft to her?
He Shiwen realized this and immediately laughed so hard that her eyes couldn't open. She nodded continuously and said, "Okay, okay, no problem. I will treat Bai Ying as my own sister!"
"Thank you."
Bai Mo pursed his lips, stopped communicating with Bai Ying, and left with a grim expression.
His footsteps gradually faded into the dungeon...
"He Shiwen, I'm sorry."
Bai Ying suddenly looked at He Shiwen and apologized solemnly: "This time I neglected your safety and let you take risks with me."
He Shiwen was still immersed in the beautiful scene of Bai Mo looking at her gently, so she didn't hear what Bai Ying said at all. She just laughed foolishly, "Hehehe, what did you just say?"
Bai Ying: “…”
Well, this person is just a love-brained person.
In order to compensate He Shiwen, she might as well give her second brother to He Shiwen.
In the following time, the two people imprisoned in the dungeon seemed to be forgotten.
Except for Niu Huahua who came to deliver a meal and brought a medicine box, Bai Ying and the others did not wait for anyone else.
Night falls——
The dungeon was shrouded in darkness.
The already damp dungeon became even more damp and cold. Only a pale moonlight shone through a palm-sized vent on the wall. This not only failed to dispel the fear in Bai Ying and the others' hearts, but made them feel even more creepy.
It seemed as if a monster was about to emerge from the darkness...
All Bai Ying and He Shiwen could do was stay together on the same pile of straw and huddle together for warmth.
He Shiwen was probably a little stupid, and had been sleeping soundly leaning against the wall.
Bai Ying tried her best to stay alert, but she still couldn't open her eyes. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly smelled a strange sweet fragrance filling the dungeon...
It's not a natural floral scent, but more like a synthetic fragrance that can be cloying.
The narrow ventilation holes were of little use, and soon the dungeon was filled with this strange smell.
wrong!
Bai Ying's eyebrows jumped and he suddenly woke up.
This smell... is a kind of folk remedy drug made from herbs!
Realizing this, Bai Ying quickly held her breath and pinched He Shiwen's thigh hard.
“Hmm…”
I don’t know if He Shiwen inhaled too much drugs or was sleeping too soundly, but apart from a faint moan, there was no other reaction.
Bai Ying frowned.
Time was running out, so she didn't continue to wake up He Shiwen. She quickly opened the medicine box beside her, groped in the dark to find a bottle of pills used to dissolve the sleeping drug and put it in her mouth. She also stuffed one into He Shiwen's mouth, just to try her luck.
Even so, Bai Ying did not give up. She quickly opened the secret compartment at the bottom of the box, took out the pistol hidden inside, quietly loaded the gun and turned on the safety.
After doing all this, Bai Ying pretended to faint.
Squeak——
Perhaps thinking the drug had taken effect, the cell door was pushed open from the outside, and then a familiar voice was heard in the dungeon.
