The county seat of Xi County was also desolate.
But surprisingly, after entering, there were some people walking around, unlike in other counties where the people stayed indoors.
Zhou Jiaojiao took Chu San to the clinic first.
The door of the clinic was unexpectedly open.
She walked straight in and saw an old doctor and an apprentice inside.
"How much is a pack of medicine for treating trauma?" she asked directly.
The old doctor shuddered for an inexplicable moment, glanced at her, then suddenly lowered his head and said, "Ten taels of silver."
Zhou Jiaojiao took a deep breath and said, "Oh my god, this is as much as the price of half a house. No wonder they say that prices in Xi County are expensive."
Of course she didn't buy it.
Simply select Sign in.
There are also three check-in points this time.
A lot of medicinal herbs were obtained, including those for treating external and internal injuries. The herbs signed in alone are enough to sell for over a hundred taels, including ginseng.
Just when Zhou Jiaojiao was sighing at the generosity of the system this time.
Sudden.
A scream rang out.
The apprentice at the door of the clinic was thrown to the ground. At the same time, a row of ten big men in armor walked in from outside. Their physique was only slightly weaker than Chu San.
Zhou Jiaojiao watched the other person approach.
The leader reached out and pinched Zhou Jiaojiao's face, saying, "This one is pretty good this time. Take it away."
"My wife..." Chu San became angry subconsciously and wanted to take action.
Zhou Jiaojiao felt that this was an opportunity because she saw another check-in point on the leader. According to previous experience, an event should happen this time, and she could only gain benefits by participating in it.
"Husband, let's go together."
After Zhou Jiaojiao comforted Chu San, she looked at the leader softly and weakly: "What are you going to do? We are just ordinary people who came here to buy medicine."
"Buy medicine? Of course you can. Once you get to Lord Liu's house, if you behave well, you can buy as much of these expensive medicines as you want." The leader seemed not to want to make too much noise, so he spoke in a coaxing tone.
Zhou Jiaojiao looked nervous and didn't dare to resist. She grabbed Chu San's arm and said, "Can my husband come with us? I'm just buying medicine for him. My husband is stupid."
"My lady, I'm not a fool." Chu San said unhappily, pulling Zhou Jiaojiao's clothes.
His performance was simply a god-like assist.
The leader, who originally didn't want to cause trouble, saw Chu San like this, and like the other guards, contempt flashed in his eyes. He didn't take him seriously, waved his hand, and took the two away.
Sure enough, he was heading towards Liu's mansion.
On the road, other people saw this scene and lowered their heads. At this time, she found that there were only men and old women on the street, and there was not a single young woman.
Zhou Jiaojiao seemed to be lost in thought, but she was not worried about not being able to escape. She had just signed in with the leader and received a pound of drugs that would make people faint when exposed to the wind, as well as a corresponding antidote that would instantly detoxify them.
She was very curious about the four words "dizzy when exposed to wind" and what effect they could achieve.
As for why the drug was signed from the leader.
She thought it had something to do with the drugs on the other person.
The stone lions at the gate of Liu's mansion are very large. Compared with other dilapidated places in Xi County, Liu's mansion covers a very large area, reaching more than ten acres.
Zhou Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.
It’s good that the mansion is spacious. The more spacious it is, the easier it will be for her to escape when the time comes.
Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San were brought in through the side door.
As soon as you walk in.
The ten guards changed their attitude.
The leader said casually, "Lock this fool in the woodshed first."
Zhou Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly threw herself into Chu San's arms, pretending to be scared and asking, "What are you going to do?"
"Didn't you agree to bring us in to buy medicine?"
"Hahaha, she actually believed it." Several men laughed.
Zhou Jiaojiao looked frightened, lowering her head slightly and said, "I'll go with you. Please don't hurt my husband."
"Humph, if you listen, we won't hurt your silly husband. Hahaha, how funny! Some people actually like idiots so much. It's really..."
The group of people laughed and ridiculed as if they had heard some huge joke.
Zhou Jiaojiao endured it calmly, and after comforting Chu San, she was taken to the inner courtyard by the guards.
The inner courtyard is very large.
But Zhou Jiaojiao was sent in blindfolded.
She didn't know how long it had been before she felt a push from behind her, followed by a creaking sound, which was the sound of the door closing.
Zhou Jiaojiao was not tied up. She waited until the door was closed before reaching out to pull away the black cloth in front of her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she met the extremely calm eyes above.
A woman in a long white dress...or should be a man, was sitting at the table opposite her, just looking at her.
The reason why Zhou Jiaojiao can tell the other person's true gender at a glance is because of her doctor's instinct. She usually looks at the skeleton, not the appearance, to determine the gender.
"Who are you?" Zhou Jiaojiao asked curiously.
Instead of walking over, she chose to sit on a stool farther away.
"Were you just arrested? No wonder you were arrested. You look good, but you're too skinny."
Zhou Jiaojiao heard the key point and asked curiously, "Were you also captured? How long have you been here? Why would this mansion capture someone? Aren't you fleeing during the famine? They actually still have water?"
She didn't find it strange that a wealthy family had food, but having water was quite impressive.
"Tsk..." The man laughed, as if mocking her stupidity. "Water? That's nothing. The Liu family is a prominent family in the area. They even have countless ice cellars. Forget water. Even if they want seafood, they can have it shipped in from thousands of miles away tomorrow."
Zhou Jiaojiao cursed in her heart.
She found that she was indeed ignorant.
It is definitely affected by the disaster.
But the rich have money! It seems easy for them to stock up on water in advance!
No wonder she saw several check-in points requiring four points after entering Liu's mansion.
She didn't even sign in.
The main thing was that I didn’t have a chance to walk over before I was blindfolded.
She was itching to go check out the four check-in points, even if she didn't have the chance.
After Zhou Jiaojiao was overjoyed, she came to her senses and met the man's depressed and sarcastic expression. Then she remembered that he had just said something very unhappy, and subconsciously comforted him: "Hey, well, if you are unhappy, then don't laugh. If you are not happy staying here, then don't stay."
"You talk nicely, but if I could leave, why would I continue to be locked up?" The man was furious.
"Why can't you leave?" Zhou Jiaojiao asked curiously.
"You weren't given the muscle softener?"
"What is that?"
The two of them glared at each other, and the man finally lost his temper and said, "You're so lucky."
"But it doesn't matter if you weren't drugged. If they really want to summon you, you won't be able to escape even if you weren't drugged."
Zhou Jiaojiao touched her chin and said, "I know. These people from the Liu Mansion are grabbing all the pretty girls and doing disgusting things to them, violating them!"
