Chapter 196 Sick Woman

She seemed very persistent in getting Zhao Yunduo to drink water.

Zhao Yunduo realized this, thought about it and agreed.

"Okay, please give me a glass."

Hearing that Zhao Yunduo was willing to drink water, Luna's eyes brightened a little.

As she scooped the boiling water from the pot into the cup, she said to Zhao Yunduo: "There is a shortage of water in the last days, but people should drink more water, otherwise it will be bad for the body."

After Luna handed the cup to Zhao Yunduo, the excitement in her eyes intensified, which made Zhao Yunduo feel that the water was even more suspicious.

But she was still staring at Zhao Yunduo, as if she wanted to see Zhao Yunduo drink the water.

After Zhao Yunduo took the cup, he lifted it up and put it to his lips, pretending to drink water, but in fact he transferred the liquid in the cup into the space.

When half of the water in the cup was gone, Zhao Yunduo stopped pretending to swallow, put down the cup, and asked casually, "I just saw that the well seemed to have been used. Did you burn the water from the well?"

Luna took a look at the cup and found that a lot of water had been drunk. Then she said, "No. The water was boiled for washing face and brushing teeth. The water outside is not drinkable nowadays. Don't you know that?"

After saying that, she scooped another glass of water and drank it herself.

When he looked at Zhao Yunduo, he was smiling, as if saying: Look, I drank it too, don't worry, this water is fine.

But Zhao Yunduo put down the cup and refused to drink any more.

"Is there any water source nearby?" Zhao Yunduo asked again.

"There's no water source. It's very dry around here. Only this well has water."

This made Zhao Yunduo realize that the remaining 5% of his mission progress would most likely be the well.

But the door was locked, and Luna had put the key in her pocket, which had a zipper and looked like it couldn't be easily accessed.

"Well," Zhao Yunduo said tentatively, "I didn't wash my face this morning. Can I go get some water to wash my face?"

"There's water here." Luna pulled her to the pot, pointed at it and said to Zhao Yunduo, "There's still a lot left. You can use it to wash your face, drink water, or rinse your mouth. It's all fine."

What he said implied that he was unwilling to let Zhao Yunduo go to the small courtyard again.

It seems that Luna is watching that well very closely. Is she afraid that I will poison the well? Or is she afraid that I will find something?

Zhao Yunduo had many doubts in her mind, but she couldn't just say, "I can disinfect the water in the well."

She could only follow Luna into the church and help her carry the pot of porridge into the church hall.

Because the windows in the church were covered with black cloth, it was almost as dark as night. The only light in the church was the lit candle.

"Do you want to turn on the flashlight?" Zhao Yunduo asked Luna.

Luna glanced at Zhao Yunduo and said, "If you are afraid of the dark, you can open a black cloth."

One window will do. Zhao Yunduo pulled the white cloth closest to the cross, and the dark church suddenly became much brighter, but she found that the wooden board nailed on the window was not ordinary solid, there were three wooden boards on it, tightly sealed.

“So bright!”

Someone in the church screamed.

Zhao Yunduo turned around and realized that his actions had attracted everyone's attention.

The four of them were gathered around the table. When they saw the light from the window, their eyes narrowed slightly in discomfort, and then fell on the pot of porridge.

It seems that nothing happening outside is more important than eating.

Zhao Yunduo glanced at the four of them and suddenly asked, "Will Brother Zhang Yong's wife not come out to eat with us?"

Zhang Yong's eyes moved from the iron pot to Zhao Yunduo, and after a pause he said, "She just ate and went to sleep. She's not in good health and doesn't like to go out."

"That's it." Zhao Yunduo nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The five of them gathered around the pot of porridge and prayed before eating, saying a lot of words to thank God for the food.

After the prayer, Zhang Yong lowered his head and took two bites. His face looked much brighter and he even invited Zhao Yunduo to join him.

Zhao Yunduo shook her head and said, "I just had a compressed biscuit this morning. I'm not hungry. You guys can have some."

When Zhang Yong heard her say she didn't want to eat, his eyes darkened a little.

Luna on the other side said, "She just drank some water, so she shouldn't be hungry."

It was not clear what this meant, but Zhang Yong was obviously a little more excited after hearing it. He nodded and continued eating.

After knowing that there was a well in this place, Zhao Yunduo was not in a hurry to leave. He planned to wait for a few days to find an opportunity to complete the mission.

After they finished their meal, Zhao Yunduo helped them clean up.

After they took the bowl into the kitchen, they poured another bowl of water and drank it all.

What puzzled Zhao Yunduo was that if the water and rice were poisonous, why did they eat the porridge and drink the water after eating the porridge?

But she soon discovered something different.

In addition to eating porridge and drinking water, they also took out a jar from under the cross and poured out a black ball from it, which looked a bit like maltose.

One for each of the five people.

This time, no one invited Zhao Yunduo to eat that thing, and no one gave the meatball to the "sick" woman inside.

"What is this?" Zhao Yunduo asked.

But Luna said, "It's not the right time yet. You will know later."

After saying this, he hid the things under the cross again, as if he was not worried at all that Zhao Yunduo would take any of them.

Since Luna refused to say anything, Zhao Yunduo naturally couldn't get any results no matter how hard he tried.

After they finished praying for the second time in front of the cross, Zhang Yong opened the closed door again.

Last night it was dark and I couldn't see anything, but today when I looked inside again, even though the gap was very small, I could still see that it was completely dark inside. But now it was clearly daytime and the sun was shining brightly outside.

Unless there is a black cloth inside to block out all the light.

Just when she was feeling puzzled, she suddenly heard the sound of chains snapping from inside.

The person inside is chained?

But this time she didn't howl like she did last night, nor did she make any sound.
