Chapter 287
No one thought much about it at that time.
There are many reasons for disappearances. They might have gotten lost, been eaten by wild animals, been killed after offending someone, or simply left because they didn't want to stay there anymore...
At that time, those who were caught were all scoundrels and petty thieves. It was very likely that someone was getting rid of this evil for the people, so no one cared.
The guard Jia Li didn't pay attention either.
It wasn't until this moment that I felt something was wrong.
He stammered, "Also, from the prisons in Yongcheng, they sometimes take away prisoners, saying they've been dealt with, but I've never seen their bodies. Those things are done by the city lord's confidants. I'm not a high-ranking official, so I don't know the details."
Later, Xue Shun proposed to rotate the garrison personnel, so before Yongcheng established its own regime, Jia Li and his men were transferred away.
At that time, Qi Yuanli used the excuse of a handover due to the complicated affairs of Yongcheng to leave all his trusted aides behind. Not long after that...
Shen Jiao smelled a conspiracy.
Another guard, Xu Wu, said, "How about we go in and take a look? We'll know once we see the person."
"That's a good idea," Shen Jiao said. "Go ahead. If you see anyone, run away quickly. Maybe you can still leave your body intact."
"This..." Xu Wu lowered his head.
Shen Jiao rolled her eyes at him. "If that's the case, how many people would be down there? Why would just the three of us go down there? Are you afraid they'd get bored, so you'd just go and amuse them? If you're tired of living, go die, but don't take me with you."
"What should we do? Just ignore it?" Jia Li was a little conflicted.
Shen Jiao said, "This is not my business. Go back and tell Master Eleven and Miss Jiang."
That's the one who can make the decision.
As for her, she doesn't even have a household registration in Hedong Road. How can she be the one to do such a thing?
Shen Jiao is just a passer-by. When there is excitement, she will take a look. When encountering danger, she will run away first. That's all the difference. There is no need to risk her life.
Just as I was about to leave, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind me: "Since you're here, don't leave in a hurry. Come down and sit down."
So enthusiastic.
Shen Jiao rushed out without even looking back.
Then it fell to the ground with a bang.
Shen Jiao looked at the whip wrapped around her leg, turned her head and praised: "Awesome."
"You run pretty fast," the girl threw the corpse on her shoulder to the ground, exerted force suddenly, and dragged Shen Jiao back.
The two guards were quite righteous. They did not abandon her and run away. Instead, they took out hoes and hit the girl. Unfortunately, it was useless. The three of them were tied up tightly and dragged into the ground.
Shen Jiao saw that she had covered her face, and her heart was lifted: "You guys have an epidemic here too?"
"It's inevitable," she said calmly. "Everyone gets sick."
Jia Li: "Who would get sick so easily?"
"Ignorance," she said. "We know it here."
This doesn't sound like something a normal person would say.
Xu Wu whispered, "There's a problem here, and it's probably not a small one. Miss Shen, Lao Jia and I will hold her back. Take this opportunity to run and tell Master Eleven and Miss Jiang."
Jia Li nodded seriously.
The two counted down together: "Three"
"two"
"one"
"Go!" they suddenly shouted.
Shen Jiao plopped down on the ground, using brute force to pull the two grasshoppers together, and then continued, "What are you going to do? Going to the toilet at a time like this? Do you even know where this place is? What are you running around for? If you get lost again, you'll cause more trouble for others! You two are grown-ups now, can you please be more careful and look around? It's dark and messy here. Don't be so reckless, okay?"
If Shen Jiao can run, why wouldn’t he run?
These two people don’t even open their eyes to see how many pairs of eyes there are here.
As soon as she came in, Shen Jiao felt awkward.
There is a hole in the east and a small hole in the west of this tunnel. Even Tibetans can't hide there. And they have dug so much, so they are not afraid of it collapsing.
It wasn't until she heard some plants groaning that she realized what the holes were for.
People can't hide in it, and neither can snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc. It's just right.
Most likely poison.
Listen to those screams, it's really miserable.
The girl glanced back at the three of them nonchalantly, tugged at the rope and said, "Hurry up."
She seemed to be completely unconcerned about the obvious sneak attack just now, and still did not seal their spiritual power.
Is this confidence or stupidity?
Shen Jiao thinks it is the former.
Jia Li said unwillingly, "What a waste of such a good opportunity."
Xu Wu said, "Listen to Miss Shen and be careful."
Jia Li: "You're about to die, why should you be careful?"
What he said was not unreasonable, but Shen Jiao felt...
"Kill him if you want to."
This girl doesn't look very old, but she is more than capable of beating the three of them. If they really want to fight, there is no need to bring them down.
Most likely to ask questions.
They would ask first whether to kill or cut him up. There was such a big commotion in Loach Village, it was impossible for them not to find out.
Shen Jiao's guess was correct. The girl took them to meet someone named Sister Bai Shan.
She was also a little girl, about seventeen or eighteen, not very tall. She was holding a white fan and sitting in a fairly nicely decorated room. She looked at them with a sinister look: "You really are looking for death. I didn't go looking for trouble with you, but you came to my door. What do you want to do?"
"I said I accidentally discovered something wrong while digging herbs and found myself here. Do you believe me?"
Shen Jiao asked tentatively.
The white fan rolled his eyes and said, "That's not impossible. Tell me, how do you want to die?"
"If you don't want to die, you can arrest the villagers, and you can arrest us too. We are all human beings, why not treat us the same? Are you going to kill all the villagers?"
Shen Jiao tried to save herself.
Bai Shan said, "Of course not. Keeping them is useful, but keeping you is asking for trouble. If you know what's good for you, take advantage of my good mood right now and choose a way to die that you like. Otherwise, I won't be polite."
The little girl spoke harshly like a veteran, raised her eyebrows, and looked angry.
The three people looked at each other.
Jia Li said, "If you have the guts, let me go and I'll fight you to the death."
Xu Hui said, "Who are you guys?"
Shen Jiao said, "If we don't go back, we might cause you trouble. However, this place is very hidden, and we have limited manpower. As long as you seal the hole and put the exit somewhere else, it won't be too troublesome. As for how to die, I want a clear way to die."
Bai Shan said irritably, "Chirp, chirp, chirp, can't you come one by one and decide who's better? I'll start with you. If you can beat me, all three of you must live."
She threw the fan in her hand away. The fan, which seemed light, cut off Jia Li's hands at the roots, and blood gushed out immediately.
Jia Li felt a chill on his wrist, and when he looked down and saw his fallen hands and the tragic scene, he screamed heartbreakingly.
Shen Jiao: "He said to let him go and fight you, not to cut him open."
Bai Shan scratched his neck with the fan handle without any sincerity and said, "You're using too much force."
