However, the cellar was full of glue drying in the shade, and no one was seen, nor was there any secret passage.
How strange.
Could it be that the pale-faced man had deceived them? The two were hesitating when they heard a crackling sound. A corner of the cellar slowly opened, revealing a black hole. Someone leaned out of the hole, yawned, and said, "Okay, it's time to change shifts! I made a dozen more tonight, enough for today."
Um?!
Su Bei was confused after hearing this.
Chu Younan had already stepped forward, and with a wave of his hand, the man fell to the ground.
Faintly from the black hole came the sound of whips, someone groaning in pain, and seemingly the sound of chopping something.
"You go back first! It's very dangerous in here!" Chu Younan lowered his voice to the lowest level.
"I want to be with you only when it's dangerous." Su Bei gently held his hand.
We all traveled through time and space, and it's not easy to live again, isn't it? Chu Younan was immediately moved, and felt that it was wrong for him to be jealous, because Ah Bei's heart was all about him!
It is not easy to live again, and it is even more difficult to have a good girl like Abei by your side.
He walked ahead without hesitation.
Inside was a cramped cave that smelled of dirt, with a faint hint of blood and stench. The sound of whips and whispers became clearer and clearer.
After passing through the dark corridor, Su Bei was suddenly shocked.
Under the dim candlelight, there were two men holding whips, driving several people, some of whom were grinding, some were swinging axes, and some were using knives.
However, those people were not killing pigs or donkeys. They were pulling the mill, with bones stuffed into the mill mouth, those swinging axes were chopping bones, and those using knives were cutting meat.
Su Bei couldn't help it and vomited.
How disgusting! They got a dead body! But it shouldn't be fresh, and there's no blood!
With such a loud noise, they were naturally discovered immediately. The two men wielding whips turned around and whipped them!
Chu Younan took action. He drew the sword from his waist, and the two were instantly separated from each other.
Su Bei suppressed his nausea and looked towards the people being whipped. He saw Ling Ziyu pulling the mill in a daze, as if he had lost his soul. The whip had stopped long ago, but he hadn't stopped yet.
Not only him, but the rest of them as well, all seemed to have lost their souls.
"Stop! Stop!" Su Bei shouted.
The cave fell silent. Several pairs of unfocused eyes looked over at the same time, and after a moment they came back to their senses one by one.
“Help…Help…”
I don’t know who shouted first, but then the shouts continued one after another.
"Oh no!" Chu Younan suddenly frowned, and heard footsteps and shouts coming from the cave entrance.
Su Bei endured the nausea and ran over to pick up an axe, then ran towards the cave entrance, shouting as he ran: "They are doing this kind of thing! It's not unfair to kill them!"
Her words seemed to have touched those people. They picked up their weapons and ran towards the cave entrance in indignation. However, Chu Younan stopped them, "You don't know martial arts, so don't cause trouble!"
But they had all been whipped and forced to do such disgusting things. They all hated those people to the core and would never listen to Chu Younan's words.
Chu Younan took some effort to acupuncture their acupoints one by one, while Su Bei was already fighting with the people who rushed in.
With him around, Abei will never get hurt!
Chu Younan gathered his strength and rushed to the cave entrance. He pulled Su Bei behind him and raised his sword to chop him down fiercely.
Under the dim candlelight, he stood guard at the entrance of the cave like a guardian angel. His every move was ruthless, but he also brought a lot of warmth to Su Bei.
It’s great to have him around. I don’t have to fight alone anymore.
It's a feeling of being protected.
At dawn, Chu Younan walked out of the cellar covered in blood, while Su Bei behind him was still wearing clean clothes.
A strong smell of blood wafted from his entire body, and he looked extremely gloomy, as if blood was about to drip from the corners of his eyes.
"Ling Xiao!" Chu Younan looked at the city guards in the yard and shouted loudly.
Ling Xiao had already taken control of the courtyard with his men. He hurried forward and said, "Your Highness! Everyone has been captured. I have ordered people to check. Zhang Shengma is from the Queen's mother's family."
Ha! The Queen's family really doesn't care about anything! Su Bei narrowed his eyes.
Chu Younan waved his hand and said, "There are people downstairs. Send someone to bring them out, and then bring up Chi Man's body!"
Afterwards, he and Su Bei walked out side by side. Although Zhang Shengma was pinned to the ground, he still shouted unscrupulously: "Why don't you ask me who I am? Who did I give the medicine to? You are so bold, just wait for your family to be raided and exterminated! Hahaha!"
Su Bei turned around and looked at Chu Younan, looking embarrassed, "You said he was so arrogant, could it be that he used those things to make medicine for the Queen?"
"If father knew that she ate this kind of thing, I'm afraid... heh..." Chu Younan sneered.
Then the two of them got on the carriage prepared by Ling Xiao in silence.
Although they had already driven out of that area, Su Bei still felt the unpleasant odor lingering around. If she hadn't seen zombies before, she would have been scared crazy by what she saw today.
Even though Su Bei was so brave, his hands couldn't help but tremble.
Chu Younan slowly held her hand, "Don't be afraid, Ah Bei, I am here to protect you!"
"Chu Younan!" Su Bei held his face, choking a little, "I used to be alone, and you're so nice to me now. If one day you stop being nice to me, will I be uncomfortable?"
"Silly girl!" Chu Younan curled the corners of his lips gently, "If I don't treat you well, who will make snacks for me?"
Su Bei swallowed back her sobs immediately. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Did you die of starvation in your previous life? Shouldn't you say something sentimental at a time like this?"
"Yes!" Chu Younan said, and kissed her cold lips, not knowing what this "yes" was in response to.
The punishment of bone drunkenness, gouging out eyes and pulling out tongue, cutting off limbs and soaking them in wine. He suffered far more torment than this, and had five limbs cut off in total.
Hungry? How can I not be hungry?
I'm hungry everywhere.
After bathing and changing clothes, Chu Younan went to court as usual. What happened today was too shocking, and he had to give an explanation to Yaruo and his father.
Su Bei didn't rest either. She didn't know what happened to the two people she rescued last night, so she had to go and check on them.
The skinny one was called Zhang Ganzhu, and the pale one was called Xiao Minghan.
The doctor prescribed medicine for the two of them to recuperate. As for the poison in Zhang Ganzhu's body, he needed to find another expert to cure it. Like the poison in Song Zhu's body, it was a rare and strange poison.
What the two said to Su Bei completely refreshed her cognition.
