On the day Xia Luoran left, the man who saved her came back happily. At first, Xia Luoran didn't care and just thought he was having fun.
But after a while, he brought his wife to her and said that he had found a car to take her back to Qingyun City.
Xia Luoran was indeed surprised when she heard this. Thinking that she could finally go back, she gestured to the man to take her there quickly.
Before leaving, the little girl from that family suddenly hugged her and wouldn't let her go, shouting something, saying that her sister would never come back once she left.
Xia Luoran was eager to go home, so she didn't care what a little kid said. Besides, in such a remote place, if she left, she would never come back.
She would not be grateful to others just because they saved her, and would not call them her saviors, thus being bound by the chains of gratitude that she should not have.
In life, only by focusing on yourself can you live freely and easily.
Xia Luoran got on the carriage that was said to lead to Qingyun City without any reluctance, thinking about how to heal her wounds after returning and how to kill Honggu to vent her anger.
This place is at least one or two hundred miles away from Qingyun City, but the carriage stopped after driving for a while.
The driver rudely yelled at Xia Luoran to get off the car quickly. Although Xia Luoran was annoyed, she had to bow her head under the eaves and could only obey the other party and get off the car first.
She thought that she had martial arts skills and he wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
As a result, when she got off the car, she was dumbfounded. There were twenty or thirty people around her, all of whom were pulled here from different places like her. There were both men and women, and even a few teenagers aged thirteen or fourteen.
They all had shackles on their feet and were being driven in the same direction by a group of masked men.
She felt a chill on her ankles as the driver was putting handcuffs on her feet.
Even though she was slow-witted, she could tell that something was wrong. Relying on her martial arts skills, she kicked the driver aside with a powerful kick and turned around to run away.
"Catch her!"
The driver covered his injured face and shouted.
Seven or eight people rushed forward, and Xia Luoran was no match for the four with her two fists. In addition, her injuries had not yet healed, so she was quickly captured and beaten up for injuring them.
Then she was brought here with her feet shackled and her face covered, just like those people.
"bite-"
"when-"
The sound of blacksmithing could be heard from the cave. In the dim cave, the blacksmiths were sweating profusely. Anyone who hammered slowly would be whipped by the guards.
At the same time, the people outside were not idle either. They kept carrying branches and firewood in to add to the fire, and some were cutting long wooden sticks. Their hands were full of thorns from working day and night, but no one dared to stop and could only let them fester.
Xia Luoran was responsible for quenching iron in water. She had been pampered since childhood and had never done such rough work. After a few trips, her shoulders were rubbed raw by the carrying pole. Just as she wanted to take a breath, she was severely whipped by the guard.
"Are you lazy? Get out of here!"
The pain made Xia Luoran open her mouth in agony. Her once bright face was now covered in dirt, making the scars on her face look even more terrifying.
She was in immense pain. She hated the family for their heartlessness in selling her here. She hated Honggu for hurting her and causing her to fall off the cliff. She hated Xia Man the most. She was her biological sister, but she refused to help. If she had helped, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
And Ao Xi, a bandit actually dared to have such bad thoughts about her, she wanted to kill them!
The whip fell on her again and again, accompanied by insults from the guards.
Xia Luoran was exhausted both physically and mentally but had to stand up. In just a few days, she saw three or four people being carried out horizontally.
Some died of exhaustion, and some were beaten to death for refusing to obey.
The man was still shouting in the previous second, and his head was separated in the next second.
The guard's knife skills were obviously not good enough. Half of his head fell off, and the other half was still hanging on his neck. Blood gushed out, and the man fell in front of Xia Luoran with his eyes wide open. If she hadn't lost her voice, she would definitely scream loudly.
After this example, no one dared to say anything more.
Xia Luoran didn't know what this place was, and didn't even understand why such a place existed.
This cave is interconnected and everyone's work is separate, so she doesn't know what these people are doing, let alone when she can escape.
Under the whipping of the guards, she put on the shoulder pole again and went deeper into the cave.
-
"boom-"
Thunder roared in the silent night, and heavy rain poured down.
Su Man, who was lying in bed, was awakened. It had been a few days since she met Fang Junyi.
Her nights of eating and sleeping made her sleep more and more restless. She thought that Fang Junyi should have some news after keeping inquiring about the matter for so long.
Speak of the devil, and here he comes. Just as Su Man was thinking about this, the bed curtain was suddenly lifted. At the same time, lightning struck outside, illuminating Fang Junyi's dripping face in an instant, making him look like a water ghost.
Su Man cursed in her heart, but had to pretend to be surprised on the surface, "Second Young Master? How did you get into this state?"
Fang Junyi sat on the bed without saying a word. Su Man smelled a scent of alcohol in his breath.
She guessed that this guy must have been provoked by his father or his brother again, so she softened her voice and said, "No matter what happens, I will stand by you."
After a long while, Fang Junyi said bitterly, "I've had enough of this house."
As he said this, his chest heaved up and down, as if he was enduring great anger.
It turned out that after Fang Junyi heard from Su Man that the contents of the box were unusual, he took the opportunity to pay his respects to Fang Qingshan and asked about the Black Wind Village, hoping to start eliminating the bandits again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he started talking, Fang Qingshan scolded him.
