Chapter 101 Demonic Cave
Even a monster like Hong Yao, who didn't take human life seriously and could kill and cook people at will, was surprised when she heard this: "So, you want to blind us?"
Doctor Wang opened the small wooden box and took out a long, thin silver needle. He said, "Don't worry. My medical skills are superb and my treatment is very accurate. This needle will only penetrate the blood vessels of your eyes and will not damage the beauty of your eyes."
"Just one prick, and from now on, no matter how much filth there is in this world, you won't be able to see it anymore. You can be a blind person and know that everything is clear and invisible. How wonderful it is."
"Who goes first? If you don't choose, I'll just point at anyone!"
Lin Qingyue whispered to Hong Yao, "Isn't your illusion technique very powerful? Is there any way to resolve this crisis without alerting the guards outside?"
"Of course."
Hongyao smiled slightly and suddenly shouted, "Hey, old man!"
"What did you call me?"
Doctor Wang turned around abruptly, looking displeased.
"Is it wrong to call you old man?"
When Hong Yao was with Lin Qingyue, she was well-behaved and low-key like a maid, but at this moment, her watery eyes blinked slightly, and she was naturally charming.
Just a glance at each other, Doctor Wang was still angry the moment before, but the next moment his eyes became blurred and his tone became a little gentler.
"Okay, come on."
Hongyao came up to him with a smile and asked him, "Old man, is this okay?"
Doctor Wang nodded, then raised the needle and pricked the empty space twice, then took out a white bandage and bandaged it randomly.
Finally, he loosened his hands and the straps fell off, and were caught by Hong Yao just as they were about to hit the ground.
He said woodenly, "Okay, next one."
"You remembered it wrongly." Hong Yao continued to persuade, "We both have completed the operation."
Doctor Wang nodded obediently, "Yes, you are done."
At this moment, there were several medicine boys and guards in the room helping and controlling the women in the room.
Seeing that the situation was not right, they were about to take action.
Hongyao's charming eyes suddenly swept over and she smiled: "What did you see?"
When those people met her gaze, they also became confused instantly and shook their heads together: "What didn't you see?"
Hongyao said, "No, you saw Doctor Wang complete the operation with your own eyes."
Those people were stunned and repeated her words: "Doctor Wang has completed the operation, completed the operation..."
Hong Yao tore the straps into two and handed one to Lin Qingyue: "Tie it up, just to make it look good."
Lin Qingyue nodded in understanding.
When everything was almost done, Hong Yao said to the guards and others in the room, "Next, should we go and recuperate? Where?"
So, the guards who were bewitched by her took them to a place for recuperation.
Lin Qingyue praised Hongyao: "As expected of a foxy girl, you are truly amazing."
Hong Yao lowered her eyes, a little embarrassed. "These are just some tricks to deal with ordinary people. If you meet a capable demon hunter, they can easily break them."
However, the next moment, Hong Yao's face suddenly changed and she vomited a mouthful of blood.
Lin Qingyue hurriedly supported her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hong Yao said, "I've experienced a very strong backlash. I wonder if it's related to the magic I just used."
"Using magic will backfire?" Lin Qingyue's face darkened. "Oh no! It seems there's a formation nearby that can counteract evil spirits."
Hong Yao said, "This is the same as when I first sneaked into Miao Dong's residence to seek revenge. In a place like this, with such deep resentment, it makes sense for him to ask someone to set up a formation. After all, he is now a local leader with enormous power."
Lin Qingyue said: "If that's the case, then don't use sorcery so casually anymore."
Hong Yao nodded: "This is the only way."
Although they cannot use witchcraft for the time being, the power of bewitchment from before is still there, which can temporarily protect them from harm.
The lounge is just behind the operating room, across a hall.
There was a woman inside, her eyes covered with white gauze, lying on a large bunk bed. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she shrank back like a frightened bird.
Hong Yao walked over and took a look, then said to Lin Qingyue with regret, "This girl is already blind."
The girl heard Hongyao's tone of voice was different from the people here, so she asked, "Were you also captured here? Escape, you must escape!"
She suddenly became emotional and waved her hands wildly: "This is a devil's den, a devil's den! Any woman who comes here will be blinded. My eyes..."
Her hands trembled as she held the gauze on her eyelids. Her voice was filled with despair: "I'm blind and can't see anymore."
Lin Qingyue walked closer and asked, "What's your name? Where do you live? Maybe we can all be rescued soon. Then I'll take you home."
"Go home?" The girl cried, her tears wet the gauze, making it blood red.
She said: "I have no home anymore. My family has been killed by them!"
"Who hurt you?" Hong Yao asked.
"Miao Dong! The Chief of Donglin Prefecture, that devil!"
After some inquiries, Lin Qingyue and Hong Yao learned that the girl's name was Sun Xier, she was from Donglin Prefecture, and her father ran a carpentry shop.
Because of their good skills, the shop did good business and they were considered a wealthy family.
However, just over ten days ago, when Sun Xier and her mother were going out on the street, they were seen by Miao Dong who was passing by.
On that day, the Chief Secretary's Mansion sent someone to propose marriage, wanting to marry her as a concubine.
The Sun family had only one daughter, who had been raised in the palm of their hands since childhood. Their family was well off, and her parents had been reluctant to marry her off and were looking for a live-in son-in-law. How could they bear to let their daughter become a concubine?
Others didn't know, but Sun Xier's father was a carpenter and had been invited to work at the Changshi Mansion several times before. It was said that Lord Miao had more than a dozen concubines.
In the eyes of these nobles, concubines were their personal property. Sometimes they could even be used to entertain guests, accompany them in drinking, eating, and sleeping.
Therefore, Carpenter Sun, who loved his daughter dearly, rejected the marriage proposal outright.
Miao Dong's reputation as an official was excellent in the Donglin area, especially since he set up food stalls on the first and fifteenth day of every month to help the poor. Such a good official shouldn't make things difficult for ordinary people like them, right?
There was indeed no movement in the next few days.
The Sun family thought that the matter was over and had even started asking a matchmaker to find a suitable son-in-law.
Unfortunately, they are too naive.
That night, Sun Xier had just fallen asleep when a group of people suddenly broke into the Sun family's house.
The leader, Carpenter Sun, knew him as the manager who had proposed marriage to Lord Miao that day.
Carpenter Sun came out with his clothes on: "Master, why are you still here so late..."
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked away by the steward, who rushed into Sun Xier's bedroom and dragged her off the bed in a disheveled state.
Sun Xier screamed in fear, and Carpenter Sun and his wife quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
