Chapter 109 Grandfather
Ling Chan watched Gong Zhou whipping Gong Taining and Gong Yi again and again...
After whipping him about a hundred or eighty times, Gongzhou, perhaps because he was tired, put down the whip.
There were dozens of whip marks on Gong Taining and Gong Yi's bodies, all of which were bleeding.
But they didn't say a word except roaring. They couldn't speak.
Ling Chan could see their tongues, which meant that their tongues were not cut, but their vocal cords were injured.
She guessed that Gongzhou had forced them to drink something, which led to this result.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Gong Zhou hung the whip back on the rack, "Your granddaughter, niece... Ling Chan is here."
Gong Taining and Gong Yi's roars just now were full of anger and hatred, but after hearing Gong Zhou's words, they turned into panic and anxiety.
"You want me not to hurt her?" Gong Zhou understood what they meant, but scoffed. "She's already come to my door, how can I... let her go so easily?"
"Ah, wuwu...hmm..." Gong Taining stretched out his hand and waved at Gong Zhou, but he could not touch Gong Zhou because of the cage.
Gong Yi was also very anxious and kept making "hmm" sounds.
"Haha." Gong Zhou smiled contentedly, "You guys really love her."
"But she thought you were dead...hahaha."
"You're so close, yet she doesn't know you exist."
Ling Chan just felt that Gong Zhou had gone crazy. The way he looked now...his eyes were bulging, his expression was weird, and it was scary no matter how you looked at him.
"Woo, um, um..." Gong Taining and Gong Yi screamed at Gong Zhou desperately.
Gong Zhou was very pleased with their reaction. He stood opposite them with an appreciative attitude...
Just like that, after an unknown amount of time, Gongzhou turned around and left contentedly.
Ling Chan really wanted to go over and say a few words to Gong Taining and Gong Yi right now, but she was worried that she wouldn't be able to open the mechanism when she left, so she followed Gong Zhou back to the secret door first.
Gongzhou kicked the secret door again, and the secret door moved outward, and Gongzhou crawled out.
After a while, the secret door closed.
Ling Chan stood there and waited quietly for a while, until she heard Gong Zhou's footsteps going away, then she turned back.
When she went back and saw the two cages, Ling Chan couldn't help but take two deep breaths because of the unpleasant smell.
She walked over... and took off her invisibility cloak.
The two people in the cage thought it was Gongzhou who had returned, so they looked up suddenly and glared at him, but unexpectedly they saw a woman.
There were several torches in the dark room, and the sound of dripping water, which should be an air hole leading to the ground.
The light from the torch was dim, and Ling Chan was wearing black clothes. They could tell that the person in front of them was a woman, but they couldn't see her face clearly.
It was not until Ling Chan slowly walked in front of them that the two of them looked at her in astonishment and made "ah ah ah" sounds.
Not anger, not panic, but surprise and delight.
"Ah, ah... um... um..." Gong Taining stretched out his hand towards Ling Chan.
Gong Yi also looked at her in disbelief, "Hmm...ah..."
Ling Chan reached out her hand as if possessed by a ghost and held the hand that Gong Taining extended to her. She did not mind the filth on his hand and held it tightly.
Gong Taining's hands were shaking...Turbid tears fell from his eyes, drawing a groove on his cheek.
Gong Yi was so excited that he squatted down and stood up again...
"Grandfather." Ling Chan believed that Gong Taining had recognized her.
Gong Taining nodded repeatedly, "Hmm, hmm... woo..."
Ling Chan used her other hand to push the hair away from his face, revealing his eyes.
She looked into his eyes and said, "Grandfather, did Gongzhou give you some medicine? Is that why you can't speak?"
Gong Taining nodded.
This was not a difficult task for Ling Chan. She took out two medicine bottles, which contained the pool water in the space.
She was afraid that Gong Taining would lose his grip, so she prepared to feed him, "Grandfather, I have a bottle of magic medicine here. Drink it and it will heal your throat."
Gong Taining cooperated and drank the medicine without any doubt.
Then he fed Gong Yi.
After Gong Taining and Gong Yi drank the potion, they felt an itchy sensation in their throats.
This feeling is similar to when their wounds begin to heal...it's a feeling of flesh and blood growing.
They couldn't help but touch their throats to relieve the itch.
Fortunately, the itching only lasted for a few minutes. When the itching subsided, the long-term dryness and pain in the throat disappeared, replaced by a sense of comfort that seemed to be in another world.
Gong Taining and Gong Yi took several deep breaths in surprise.
"Ah..." Gong Taining was the first to try to speak, his voice was hoarse, but... his throat was no longer dry and painful.
"Miserable... Trembling... Chan'er..." After trying several times, Gong Taining finally pronounced Ling Chan correctly.
"Grandfather." Ling Chan knew the effect of the pool water, but she was still very happy to hear Gong Taining's voice.
Gong Yi was able to speak over there, "Chan'er, you... are... Lele's daughter?"
Ling Chan nodded, "Yes, my mother is Gong Lele."
"That's great." Gong Yi was genuinely happy. "I didn't expect that I would see you again."
After he finished speaking, a trace of sorrow flashed across his face, "It's a pity that we can't see Lele anymore."
The news of Lele's death was brought to them by Gongzhou...
"Chan'er, how old are you?" Gong Taining asked.
He and Gong Yi were locked up here for a long time without seeing the sun, and had no idea what was going on outside.
Gongzhou would sometimes tell them about what was happening outside, but not much.
"I'm seventeen, and it's the thirteenth year of Yonghe." Ling Chan replied.
Gong Taining opened his mouth in surprise, "Seventeen..."
By this calculation, they have been imprisoned here for sixteen years.
"You've suffered a lot over the years," Gong Taining said.
Ling Chan shook her head. "It's not hard, but it's not as hard as what my grandfather and uncle went through."
"Grandfather, uncle, I can't rescue you today. I have to trouble you to stay here for a while."
Gongzhou is the leader of the martial arts world. He and Dahe are colluding to harm Daqi. Ling Chan wants to expose this at the martial arts conference.
There is also the matter of Gongzhou and the court colluding to kill her mother, including the collusion between Rong An and Gongzhou, which must also be exposed at the martial arts conference.
So she can't get them out now.
"We understand." Gong Taining nodded in understanding. "Don't worry, your uncle and I won't ruin your plan."
"You have to be careful outside too. Gong Zhou is a sinister and vicious person..." Gong Yi reminded Ling Chan.
Speaking of this, Ling Chan looked at Gong Taining, "Grandfather, speaking of this...why did Gongzhou become like this?"
"Also, what's the origin of his biological mother, the mermaid?"
