Early the next morning, Lu Zongyuan came to the dungeon again.

Perhaps it was because it was too dark last night and he was worried, so he brought people to search again during the day.

Still nothing.

Xiao Ruyu was woken up by him again. Fortunately, she had heard the noise a long time ago. She flashed out from the space with an unhappy look on her face.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"It's endless day by day, isn't it?"

She picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Lu Zongyuan in frustration, then collapsed to the ground.

Lu Zongyuan didn't have time to dodge and was hit by the small stone, and his anger quickly spread.

He stared at Xiao Ruyu who was sitting on the ground, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

wrong!

What he brought these days were all poor food and some rotten fruits. Why didn't Xiao Ruyu look thin at all, but her little face...

Why is it becoming more round?

Realizing that Lu Zongyuan was staring at her cheek, Xiao Ruyu turned her face away, deliberately avoiding him from seeing her.

“That’s not right…”

She heard Lu Zongyuan muttering, "Can this food make you fat?"

When Xiao Ruyu heard his words, she couldn't help but laugh out loud in her heart.

Lu Zongyuan was very confused. He looked at Achu beside him and kicked him.

"Are you sure this poisonous insect is useful?"

Ah Chu was kicked for no apparent reason, and was not convinced. "Of course it is useful. Go and ask around about the name of this Heart-Eating Gu. Who wouldn't be terrified by it?"

Rats crawled through the dungeon from time to time. One of them somehow crawled onto Lu Zongyuan's foot and bit him hard.

"ah……"

Lu Zongyuan felt pain and pushed the little mouse away. He wanted to step on it, but the little mouse had already crawled into a dark corner and disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it." He cursed angrily and turned to leave the dungeon.

After he left, Xiao Ruyu finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. She took out a piece of cake from her arms and threw it into the corner. A little head popped out and immediately took it away, disappearing into the corner.

After making Lu Zongyuan suffer a setback, Xiao Ruyu felt very relieved and flashed into the space to stay with Eleven.

At the same time, not long after Lu Zongyuan walked out of the dungeon, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, and Ah Chu, who was following him, bumped into him.

"Ouch."

The two shouted at the same time. Lu Zongyuan glared at him with a red face. "Waste, didn't you say that the Heart-Eating Gu is very powerful? Besides, I only send her some coarse food and leftovers every day."

"Why is it that she not only didn't lose weight at all, but gained weight?"

Ah Chu covered his aching head and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"How do I know that my Gu won't make mistakes?"

"Useless stuff!"

Lu Zongyuan cursed inwardly and thought of other ways.

"Do you have any other witchcraft that will definitely make her suffer terribly but won't kill her?"

"I will never let her have an easy time!"

He clenched his fists, thinking of the past, his eyes became cruel and cold.

Achu was scolded by him and couldn't refute, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

He took out a poisonous insect from his wrist, handed it to Lu Zongyuan, and sneered, "Mix this poisonous insect into her food. Since she likes it, let her eat as much as she wants!"

Looking at the long, wriggling poisonous insect covered with dense black spots, Lu Zongyuan couldn't help feeling nauseous.

"What kind of Gu is this?"

Ah Chu wiped his hand that had just held the Gu, his tone was calm but a little chilly.

"Malcoma."

"After she eats it, whenever someone passes by her, she will feel severe pain in her abdomen, but it won't be fatal."

"She has a pot to drink from."

After listening to his narration, Lu Zongyuan laughed sinisterly.

…

It was the same food again. Xiao Ruyu glanced at it and took it silently.

In the past few days, in order to avoid Lu Zongyuan's suspicion, she always put the food into the space.

But I definitely won't touch it.

The people delivering food were no different from the past, except that they seemed to be covered with more black cloth, but Xiao Ruyu did not suspect anything.

"Did she eat?"

As soon as he came out of the dungeon, he was stopped while delivering food, and Ah Chu couldn't wait to ask.

The food deliveryman nodded hesitantly. "She usually doesn't eat during the day, but when she comes to deliver food again the next day, all the food is gone."

"Maybe I ate it last night."

Lu Zongyuan stroked his chin, pondering the moment carefully.

Ah Chu, however, became increasingly restless and prepared to drag Lu Zongyuan over in the evening to prove his strength.

When night fell, Xiao Ruyu was lying in the space and he sensed someone coming to the dungeon.

She immediately dodged and saw Lu Zongyuan and Achu.

They have been coming to the dungeon more and more frequently in the past few days, and Xiao Ruyu couldn't help but become suspicious.

Did you discover something?

Achu walked up to her, activated the insect, and looked at her reaction with anticipation.

Xiao Ruyu stared at him, not knowing what evil thoughts he had.

Half an incense stick of time passed.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Xiao Ruyu finally couldn't help but spoke back.

Ah Chu was dumbfounded. Seeing that there was nothing abnormal about her, he finally reacted slowly.

"You didn't eat the meal?!"

Xiao Ruyu was also dumbfounded. Meeting Lu Zongyuan's angry gaze, she decided to reveal her cards.

She sat down on the ground with her hands folded.

"That meal is the same as pig food. I fed it to rats."

"So what? You like it? Then I can leave it for you next time."

Lu Zongyuan was completely enraged. He rushed forward in rage and wanted to strangle Xiao Ruyu to death, but he remembered Prime Minister Lu's instructions and endured it.

His body was shaking with anger, and he said with a half-smile.

"Okay, I underestimated you."

"In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lu Zongyuan waved his sleeves and left, and before leaving, he did not forget to slam the dungeon door shut.

Xiao Ruyu just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the dungeon door being closed, but then she heard Lu Zongyuan shouting outside.

"From now on, there's no need to send her food anymore!"

"Add four gatekeepers to guard the gate for me. All eight of them will take turns guarding the gate day and night!"

Her heart skipped a beat, realizing that Lu Zongyuan had sent people to heavily guard the place.

At the same time, he cut off her food supply, with the sole purpose of making Xiao Ruyu bow her head and beg for mercy.

Absolutely impossible!

Xiao Ruyu flashed into the space and saw Eleven waiting for her to come back with the food.

"How was your day? Did Lu Zongyuan come to embarrass you?"

As soon as she stepped into the space, Eleven came over to show concern.

Xiao Ruyu shook her head slightly, and as she looked at the almost empty rations, she began to worry.

"It didn't make things difficult for me, but it cut off my food supply."

Eleven's face was tense. He was troubled for only a moment before he thought of a solution.

He pulled Xiao Ruyu to the fruit tree in Yaowang Valley and pointed at the fruits on the tree, "These fruits can still last for a while."

This is all we can do for now!

The next step is to wait for Doctor Yang to come and save them!
