After nightfall, Jing Yuchen looked indifferent as he sat at the corner of the village entrance. Hidden in the darkness, he stared intently, unwilling to look away or take a moment's rest.
Everything was normal in the village. After dawn, the villagers got up and worked as usual, but no one was in high spirits. Even those who had just gotten up yawned continuously.
"Am I sick? Why am I feeling dizzy?"
A woman felt strange and shook her head, but still planned to go to the market to sell vegetables.
The children who went to school sat in the classroom, with their heads hung and yawning, and they could not hear anything the old teacher taught.
This went on for three days. On the third day, at noon, no one got up...
The whole village was extremely quiet, so quiet that everyone seemed to be fast asleep.
Nearing evening, someone came to look for someone in the village because he had broken an appointment, but the whole village was eerily quiet. The person reached out and knocked on the door, but no one came to open it.
After that I could only return home feeling strangely disappointed.
On the fourth day, someone brought soldiers and said curiously, "This village is weird. No one has come out for two days. Every door is closed!"
The officers and soldiers knocked on the door without any courtesy, almost knocking the door panel off, but the result was the same, no one came to open the door.
The officers and soldiers had no choice but to force their way in. After some effort, the door was kicked open and the scene inside came into view.
There were no signs of a fight in the room, and the people inside were soundly sleeping...
Afterwards, every house was broken open and the people inside were carried out...
The whole village had the same symptoms: they were breathing and their bodies were normal, but everyone was in a coma and could not be woken up no matter how hard they were called.
After the doctor was called, he took the patient's pulse and found out the cause. He found out that everyone had been drugged. He then left a prescription and left.
Surprisingly, despite the simple prescription, all three of the herbs in the prescription had been monopolized by major pharmacies a few days ago...
Even if there is a prescription but no medicinal materials, the person still cannot be saved.
The village was sealed off and people continued to be unconscious.
If I just keep on being unconscious like this, I will starve to death sooner or later...
After nightfall.
Suddenly, a dart flew towards where Jing Yuchen was sitting. Jing Yuchen's eyes were sharp and he was about to chase it, but when he saw the paper on the dart, he stopped and did not chase it. He took the paper off and held it in his hand.
Then rush to a place.
In a courtyard, there was still the same stone table, and a man was sitting next to it. The man was wearing a mask and a green shirt.
Jing Yuchen didn't approach him. He stopped and looked at him: "Why did you cooperate with the prince? Why did you choose to hide? Do you know anything about Yue Shan?"
After a series of questions, Jing Yuchen had obviously already guessed who he was.
But he remained silent and did not answer. He snapped his fingers, and someone came out from the next room.
The person's eyes were blindfolded, her mouth was sealed, and her body was tied up with ropes. She struggled desperately but it was useless.
Jing Yuchen glanced at her coldly and said, "I don't want Duan Gouqiong, I want Ni Yueshan!"
His voice was cold and deep, and there was no room for negotiation.
"She doesn't want to see you."
The man in green answered in a light voice, but it made Jing Yuchen jump suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face.
"I don't believe it! Where on earth are you hiding the person?"
Jing Yuchen suddenly went crazy and yelled at Shao Lecheng. He rushed to Shao Lecheng, wishing he could beat him up.
Shao Lecheng frowned and responded, "There's no reason for me to lie to you."
He took off the mask, revealing his handsome face. His expression was serious and he was not joking.
"Then why do you want to cooperate with the prince?" Jing Yuchen asked.
"This is my own business and has nothing to do with Yueshan!"
Duan Gouqiong, who was tied up on the side, struggled hard because she heard Jing Yuchen's voice. She struggled as if to attract Jing Yuchen's attention and let him save her quickly!
"I want to see Yueshan. Unless she tells me in person that she doesn't want to see me, I won't give you the herbs. Over a hundred lives in the village were lost because of your persistence!"
"Jing Yuchen! Since when did you become so unreasonable and use those innocent people to threaten me!"
Jing Yuchen's eyes were icy. "What does Chu Ningyang have to do with you? Why did you team up with the Prince of the County to force this prince to release him?"
Jing Yuchen's words made Shao Lecheng at a loss as to how to respond. He remained silent, and the atmosphere became tense.
Duan Gouqiong on the side became very excited and her struggle became more and more intense.
After a fierce inner struggle, Shao Lecheng finally gave in.
"Come with me!"
The two of them traveled quickly using light skills. Jing Yuchen looked at the familiar road with his eyes slightly narrowed. It was the mountain road leading to the temple.
When the two stopped, Jing Yuchen looked around. It was surrounded by mountains and water, and the location was remote, far away from the hustle and bustle of the capital. This place was extremely difficult to find. No wonder he couldn't find Ni Yueshan.
Shao Lecheng pointed to a small dark room and said, "That's Yueshan's room."
It was already late at night, with only a few sparse stars and a dim moon in the sky.
Standing far away, Jing Yuchen couldn’t see the buildings clearly.
Shao Lecheng explained, "I discovered Yue Shan hiding in the cave before you did. I was so shocked that I couldn't recognize her. She asked me to keep it a secret!"
"I also wanted to have more time to take care of her, so on the day Qingdie and I returned to Beijing, I took advantage of a sneak attack and pretended to be missing."
Jing Yuchen was shocked when he heard this news and couldn't recognize her...
"What happened to her?"
Jing Yuchen asked, his voice trembling uncontrollably, he was deeply shocked and uneasy.
"Alas, I was disfigured and beyond recognition..." Shao Lecheng lowered his head with a worried look on his face.
"Is that all?" Jing Yuchen turned his head and looked at Shao Lecheng.
Shao Lecheng was a little conflicted. "Why don't you just stop asking me? This is all confidential. If you ask me, every time I say something, I'll be condemning it in my heart!"
Shao Lecheng walked forward, and Jing Yuchen followed him to the village.
In the village late at night, the two of them stepped on the ground, making a rustling sound. The surroundings were very quiet. When Shao Lecheng spoke again, his voice was much lower: "If you want to see her, you can go and knock on the door now, but... I don't recommend you go in."
Then he shrugged and walked away.
Jing Yuchen turned his head to look at the house, looked at the closed door, and clenched his fists tightly.
He was nervous, very nervous...
