With a bang, Shen Yu'an's body was smashed to the ground.
Shen Yu'an's hands subconsciously supported the ground, on which there was a layer of straw.
But he was thrown down and fell pretty hard, and Shen Yu'an was grimacing in pain.
It was very dark underground. Shen Yu'an secretly opened his eyes a little and looked out, but he could not accept such a dark environment for a moment and could not see anything clearly.
However, she still noticed light leaking from above her back. It turned out that the person who had just thrown her down had not yet sealed the entrance to the cellar.
Shen Yu'an turned his body slightly feeling a little uncomfortable.
There seemed to be other people in the cellar. When Shen Yu'an was thrown down, he heard the sound of shoes rubbing on the ground.
There was also a whimpering sound similar to fear.
The light in the cellar gradually dimmed again, and the people upstairs blocked the floor again.
The voices talking from above came again, and they seemed not afraid at all that the people in the cellar would hear their conversation.
Yes, in their eyes, they have long been fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered, so there is no need to be shy.
"Yunniang, this creature we caught this time can definitely do great things after being trained. I hope he hasn't been discovered."
As the words fell, another female voice was heard.
Shen Yu'an recognized the voice as that of the woman she had just helped back home.
Yunniang's voice was still the same as before, as if filled with tenderness and sweetness.
She said, "We haven't been found, but the government has increased the number of people searching. Did you arrest someone you shouldn't have arrested?"
Those people laughed and said, "Yunniang, you said that we should only arrest women and children from ordinary families. Who among us would dare not listen to you?"
"Brothers, we have arrested a lot of people this time. You have to serve us well when you return."
As the man spoke, he grabbed the waist of the woman called Yunniang and rubbed it hard.
Yunniang slapped his hand away and said, "Alright, let the sisters take good care of you when we get back. Now go outside and check the situation."
"It's late at night, and the city gates have long been locked. You can ask around and explore the way. We can find a chance to leave tomorrow morning."
"Oh, okay."
Shen Yu'an listened to the voice coming from above and did not dare to be careless at all.
When the voices gradually died down, Shen Yu'an dared to stand up, rubbing his sore butt.
“Boom!”
Shen Yu'an, who had just stood up halfway, hit his head on the top of the cellar with a loud bang.
"Hiss~"
Shen Yu'an quickly squatted down again, covering his head. After the pain subsided a little, he raised his head and looked up.
It took a while for her eyes to calm down before she could see clearly. The cellar was only about one meter high, so she couldn't stand up.
She simply sat on the ground and looked around.
When she was thrown down, she landed probably in the center of the cellar, which was now surrounded by people sitting all around.
Shen Yu'an could only vaguely see the human figure, not clearly.
The temperature is still cold now, and this feeling is exacerbated in this damp and cold cellar.
"Cough~" Shen Yu'an's throat felt a little itchy, so he coughed lightly.
Shen Yuan asked softly: "Are you all okay?"
After waiting for a while, Shen Yu'an didn't hear anyone replying to her, only vague sounds of "umm".
Only then did Shen Yu'an realize that these people might have been gagged.
She whispered again: "I'll help you take the things out of your mouths, just don't make any noise."
Those people didn't care whether Shen Yu'an could see it or not, and quickly nodded in agreement.
One of the children began to struggle violently after hearing Shen Yu'an's words.
"Ooooooooo! Ooooooooo!"
After such a long time, Shen Yu'an could already vaguely see the things here.
There are at least more than twenty people imprisoned here, including not only women but also many children.
Shen Yu'an squatted down and touched the wall, and helped them take out the cloth strips stuffed in their mouths one by one, and untied the ropes tied on their hands.
When it came to the children's rescue, Shen Yu'an touched their hot wrists and frowned.
It's too cold here and some children have started to have fever.
After the ropes were untied, these people did not dare to move, but just rubbed their aching wrists.
They whispered, "Thank you, girl."
But apart from that, they didn't dare make any other noise, nor did they try to escape.
After the cotton cloth was pulled out of one of the children's mouth, he threw himself directly into Shen Yu'an's arms.
"Wow, sister, Zhuzhu is so scared."
Shen Yu'an was pounced on and fell directly to the ground.
She protected the child who jumped into her arms, and when he heard her words, he asked in surprise, "Zhuzhu?"
This Zhuzhu was the little girl they rescued on the way to escape famine. They didn’t expect to meet her again here.
What a terrible fate!
Every time she met this little girl, she was caught.
"Yes, sister, I'm here."
The little girl sobbed and replied to Shen Yu'an.
"Sister, are you here to save Zhuzhu?"
Shen Yu'an felt that the child in her arms was very hot. She reached out and touched her forehead, which was already hot.
The little girl was still crying, and Shen Yu'an whispered to comfort her: "Yes, sister is here to save Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu, don't be afraid."
"Yeah, Zhuzhu, don't be afraid."
As the little girl said this, her sobbing gradually subsided.
After this interruption, those people also dared to speak to Shen Yuan in a low voice.
Those people began to persuade her: "Girl, please don't be impulsive. We can't escape."
The other girls also spoke in trembling voices, and even the children just huddled together after being untied, not daring to cry or make a fuss.
And through what they said, Shen Yu'an also understood why they felt they couldn't escape.
The longest time these people have been captured is four days, and more people are being thrown in continuously.
At first, they were just thrown into this cellar at random, without their hands tied or their mouths gagged.
But yesterday, when they heard no sound from above, they worked together to push open the board above the cellar.
Unexpectedly, before they could escape, they were blocked by the people who had captured them.
The girls who led the way out were beaten up and each of them had some injuries on their bodies.
A girl said with a trembling voice, somewhat unable to speak: "They, they also said that if we try to escape again, they will...will insult us."
"They were afraid we would run away, so they didn't give us food or water for two days."
Shen Yu'an patted the little girl in his arms, and his face instantly turned cold when he heard this.
These beasts!
Shen Yu'an was getting annoyed when his fingers were suddenly grabbed by the little girl in his arms.
Baozhu looked up at Shen Yuan and said, "Sister, do you have any candy? Zhuzhu is so hungry."
