After he finished speaking, something with a packaged bag appeared at his feet; it was probably food.
Yi Yi struggled slightly and frowned. How could she eat like this?
The man realized what was happening, picked up the food from beside her feet, tore open the packaging, and held it to Yi Yi's mouth, saying, "Here, eat."
It's bread, and it smells a bit sour, so it's probably expired.
Having something to eat is better than starving to death. Besides, she needs to save her strength to escape.
Yi didn't say anything, obediently opened her mouth, took a big bite, and swallowed it without much chewing. It was less like eating and more like stuffing it into her stomach.
Back in the jungle, as a spirit fox, their most common food was bland dew. Yi Yi was never picky about food, eating whatever was available. Now, after being in the human world for so long, especially following Mu Nanxun, her tastes have become quite spoiled.
Yi Yi had a very difficult time eating this "breakfast." Fortunately, the person was kind enough to give her some water; otherwise, she would have choked to death on the dry and sour bread before he could even touch it.
After finishing breakfast, the man packed his things to leave. Yi Yi spoke up at the opportune moment, asking, "Who are you? Why did you bring me here? And what do you want?"
Upon hearing this, the man stopped, turned around and glanced at her, then replied in a gruff voice, "I only care about getting paid to do things, nothing else. If you behave yourself, you'll suffer less. But if you try to escape, then... then don't blame us for being impolite."
"Brother, you overestimate me," Yi said weakly. "Look at me, I'm so weak I could be blown away by the wind. How could I have such courage? It's just that I was suddenly brought to a strange place, and I don't know how many more days I have left to live. So, I still want to find out who wants me to die and how I will die."
"Young lady, you're quite brave for your age. You're so calm even knowing you're going to die. But I can't help you. We're just doing our jobs for money, and we don't care about what happens to our clients. You should think about it yourself and see who you've offended."
Then, without saying anything more, the man walked straight out and closed the iron gate again.
Only after confirming that the person had gone far away did Yi relax completely. She took a deep breath, loosened the ropes on her hands and feet, removed her blindfold, and sat down against the wall.
The surroundings were eerily quiet. The iron gate was tightly shut and covered with a thick layer of dust, as if no one had been there at all.
In this place, Yi Yi was at a loss, completely unsure how to contact the outside world or how to escape.
Who did I offend...?
Who could she possibly offend? Since coming to the human world, the only people she's ever had a grudge against are Xia Bingqing and Liang Xiaoru.
Liang Xiaoru is in prison, isn't she? How could she have planned all this?
As for Xia Bingqing... Yi Yi couldn't say for sure. Sometimes she felt that Xia Bingqing had already reconciled with her, while other times she felt that there was something else hidden beneath the calmness in Xia Bingqing's eyes.
Days passed by, and Yi was trapped in this small room all day, unable to escape. She could only watch time slip away through the window, looking at the tiny cubicle in the room.
Three meals a day are delivered by a special person, mostly hard and tasteless steamed buns or bread that is about to expire. If you are lucky, you will get a bowl of instant noodles.
