Chapter 390 If you want to save him, just listen to me?
Half a minute later, Sang Zhixia was lying in a corner with her eyes closed, and the chains were tied around her wrists and ankles again.
The person who came in looked around and asked suspiciously, "Where are Erzhuzi and the others?"
"Weren't they assigned to guard the dungeon tonight?"
Xu Yu turned his back to the visitor and pointed at the stolen buns. He answered casually, "Brother Hu asked me to bring some food to prevent the prisoners from starving to death before the village chief returns. I didn't see any guards when I came."
The water dungeon is empty all year round, and the guard rotation is not strict.
The visitor didn't have any suspicion at all, but just said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know where those guys went to slack off."
"Okay, let's change shifts. You can go and rest."
Xu Yu hummed and stood up to leave. As soon as he stood up, he was stopped by someone: "Why haven't I seen you before? Where are you from? What's your name?"
"My name is Zhang Tiechui."
Xu Yu blinked innocently and began to make up a story: "Originally, I followed the military advisor's instructions and was hiding in the Ancheng Inn as a waiter. But when I reported the news, I missed the opportunity, so I came back with Brother Hu and the others."
What Xu Yu said was true, and it sounded very much like the truth.
The person who asked the question looked him up and down, then waved his hand and said, "Don't forget to follow the rules of the mountain when you first arrive."
"Next time you come to the water dungeon, remember to tell me in advance, otherwise I'll treat you as a spy if I catch you."
Xu Yu nodded repeatedly, his face filled with empathy. Before leaving, he added, "Brother, the military advisor specifically told me before we came here that this woman is valuable. She must be carefully guarded and not harmed in the slightest before the military advisor and the village chief return. Please keep a close watch on her."
Hu Zi has repeatedly said this, and now everyone in the village knows it.
The man waved his hand impatiently: "I know."
"With so many eyes watching, nothing can go wrong."
Xu Yu left with peace of mind, and the dark and damp dungeon returned to silence again.
Inside Huwei Mountain.
Although the two people in charge have not returned yet and there are no festive occasions, the village is in an indescribable state of joy.
Everyone knew that the fish caught this time was a big fish, a golden doll tied in the water dungeon.
As long as we wait until the person in charge comes back, we can pull out the breathing golden doll and knock it around, and everyone will get a share of the benefits that pop out.
Thinking about the money that was about to come and the good days that were within reach, no matter they were small bosses or lackeys, they were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
The air was filled with the smell of cheap liquor, and everywhere one could hear the wild talk of slurred tongues.
Xu Yu suppressed the ridicule and walked through the crowd. He poured a bowl of wine on himself and walked towards a place with fewer people with staggering steps.
Before the leader of Hu Village and the so-called military advisor come back, he must muddy the waters of Huwei Mountain.
At the same time, in the open space outside the dungeon.
The bandits, who were not allowed to join the celebration because of their guard duty, felt very lonely. They spat and muttered, "This is all confusing. I don't know what there is to guard."
"Our village is full of tunnels, and there's no way in or out. Are the people outside winged monsters? How could they fly in out of thin air?"
"Well, Brother Hu, aren't you worried? Actually, if you ask me, let's..."
"Oh, I finally found you!"
A sudden male voice interrupted their complaints, followed by cries of surprise: "What are you holding, kid? You..."
"As a younger brother, I feel sorry for the hard work of my brothers. You brothers, please don't turn around and betray me."
The person who brought the food lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Brother Tiger is leading the group up ahead and making a fuss. Everyone's already drinking. Aren't you thirsty and itchy?"
The person who was about to refuse hesitated after hearing this: "Even if I feel itchy, it doesn't count."
"I got drunk while on guard duty and made mistakes. If the village chief knew about this, wouldn't he be..."
"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how will the village chief know?"
The man sat down on the ground with the wine jar in his hand and said nonchalantly, "I brought the wine for you. If I really let it slip, I'll be the first one to get away if the village chief investigates."
"It has come to this, what else is there to worry about?"
The enticing aroma wafted from the opened wine jar, causing the greedy man to swallow his saliva repeatedly, and his initial determination faded: "Is this...really drinkable?"
"Erzhuzi and the others haven't come back yet. Is it appropriate for us to get drunk?"
"Erzhuzi?"
The man who brought the wine chuckled and said, "You guys are just too honest."
"Erzhuzi and the others were so drunk they couldn't recognize their own parents, and they drank right in front of Brother Hu, who didn't say a word!"
The person who was already wavering was completely relieved after hearing this. He sat down on the spot, opened the wine and food on the ground, and poured the wine into his mouth without waiting for the bowls to share.
The strong and pungent smell of alcohol spread without a trace. Before the round of drinks was over, those who rushed to pour the liquor into their throats began to have dazed eyes and rolled on the ground like winter melons, falling one after another.
"Hey, that's all?"
The people holding the wine jars shook them one by one, making sure they were all unconscious. Then they threw the jars aside and ran towards the dungeon: "Brother Meng!"
In the water dungeon, Meng Pei's arms were tied and hung high, and his entire body from the waist down was immersed in the pool water.
The person who rushed in cursed a few times when he saw this, quickly found the key to the chain and rushed into the water. After untying the chain, he gritted his teeth and dragged the unconscious Meng Pei out of the water.
"Brother Meng?"
"Brother Meng, wake up!"
"What's the point of you screaming like that?!"
A woman rushed in and frantically took out a small bottle. She didn't care about her messy clothes and went to pick Meng Pei's mouth: "Hurry up and give this to Brother Meng!"
“You are…”
"This is the antidote!"
The woman glared and gritted her teeth: "I stole it from Xie Hu's bed! Do you think it's poison?!"
"Hurry up and feed him the antidote. Take Brother Meng down the mountain while everyone is drunk and the village chief and his men haven't returned yet!"
It was obvious that these two people had never done such a thing before. They pinched Meng Pei's chin for a long time but couldn't pry it open, so they were so anxious that they were spinning around in circles.
Sang Zhixia, forgotten in the corner, listened silently for a long time and couldn't help asking, "Why not remove his jaw?"
The man and woman stood there in a daze, like headless flies. Sang Zhixia took a slow breath and said, "If the jaw is removed, won't it just pour in?"
If we keep making such a fuss and dragging our feet, what will happen if other people are attracted?
Xu Yu hasn’t found what he wants yet, so he can’t mess things up here.
The people who came here didn't expect Sang Zhixia to be awake. They turned around in panic and saw Sang Zhixia easily freeing his hands from the shackles. Their eyeballs almost hit their feet.
“You, you, you…”
"Shhh."
Sang Zhixia raised her index finger to silence him, her voice low but filled with an unknown temptation: "Do you want to save your Brother Meng?"
"If you want to save him, listen to me?"
