Ye Zelin returned to his original seat and began to scold Hua Fushu in a low voice, "I've told you before not to talk without thinking, but you never listened. You should be more careful in the future."
He didn't mean to blame her. He'd been in the cell two or three hours longer than she had, and he knew this guard better than Hua Fushu did. He could only describe him in a few words: impatient and unreasonable. When he first entered, he asked about Yu Chisu's whereabouts. Without a word, the guard beat him up, warning him not to bother him again, or else he'd beat him up again. At first, he thought it was just Brother Niu trying to scare him, but when he asked a few more questions, Brother Niu immediately looked like he was going to beat him. He apologized profusely, and only then did Brother Niu stop.
Hua Fushu curled her lips and ignored him. She was just expressing her displeasure. Anyone else would be unhappy too, but who knew that she would anger this guy.
For nearly half an hour, Hua Fushu said nothing, and neither did Ye Zelin. After half an hour, Ye Zelin was the first to speak. He called out to Niu Ge a few times, but Niu Ge ignored him at first. Ye Zelin persisted, and Niu Ge finally responded, but his tone was rather unfriendly. "What's the matter?"
Ye Zelin first said that he had been locked up for several hours and had not eaten or drunk anything. He was hungry and thirsty and wanted to ask for some food.
Brother Niu looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. It was late at night, so how could he have the mind to prepare food for them? Besides, they would starve to death if they didn't eat a meal, so he didn't want to prepare food for them.
Ye Zelin saw that Brother Niu was reluctant and compromised, "There's no food, but Big Brother, please give us some water. My husband and I are thirsty."
Ye Zelin's voice was a little hoarse, and Brother Niu believed it for the time being, thinking that they just wanted some water and couldn't do anything fancy. But he didn't have any water, only two pots of white wine. He had already finished one pot, so he took the other pot and said, "Drink it."
Ye Zelin expressed his sincere gratitude, took the jar of wine, and said to Hua Fushu, "Fushu, come here." He meant to let her drink first.
Hua Fushu couldn't drink much, so she didn't particularly like alcohol. This was the first time she drank to quench her thirst. Even though she didn't like it, she took the jar of wine and took two sips, then gave it to Ye Zelin. Ye Zelin also took two or three sips, but his movements were much more elegant than Hua Fushu's.
Niu took the wine jar back and turned around when something suddenly grabbed his back. A sudden forceful tug pushed him against the logs of the cell. Just as he was about to speak, an arm gripped his neck tightly. In Niu's panic, the man holding him said, "Hurry up, Fushu."
As soon as the man finished speaking, a hand holding a cloth covered his mouth and nose. In a moment, he felt sleepy in his eyes, his consciousness became unclear, his body became limp, and he soon fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Ye Zelin covered his mouth and nose, looking at Brother Niu lying on the ground, "Stinky socks, you're so smart."
The piece of cloth mixed with "Can't Wake Up" that made Brother Niu faint was Hua Fushu's socks. They had been worn for two days and smelled very bad.
Hua Fushu put on her shoes and socks while saying, "There's nothing I can do. You bought this dress of mine, and I can't bear to tear it up. It's a beautiful skirt, and if it's torn it'll ruin it. Besides, if this guy uses my socks, it's the blessing of his ancestors' eight lifetimes of hard work." She urged Ye Zelin, "Don't waste time, quickly get the key and open the door."
Ye Zelin snatched the key from Brother Niu and opened the door of his own cell. After he came out, he also opened the door of Hua Fushu's cell.
Hua Fushu took a deep breath after leaving the cell, and felt much more refreshed. In the moonlight, Ye Zelin could clearly see her smile that was as beautiful as blooming wild flowers. It was so refreshing and comfortable that he couldn't help but want to get close to her.
He remembered that he had laughed heartily when he was a child, but he never laughed heartily again after that.
Hua Fushu turned around.
Ye Zelin took the lantern and shone it, only to see Hua Fushu's feet being tortured by Niu Ge's hands. She looked like she was seeking revenge, "Humph, your master owes me, you pay her back."
It's true that revenge is inevitable.
Fortunately, this guy was "asleep" and didn't shout loudly, so Hua Fushu dared to take revenge so unscrupulously.
After avenging the trampling of his jade finger, Hua Fushu followed the principle of double repayment and kicked Brother Niu two or three times. His mood became more open-minded and cheerful, with a smile on his face.
She has always followed the principle of revenge and repaying injustice with injustice.
It feels so good to get revenge.
She deserved to have suffered so much today. First, she was ambushed, then she was beaten to the ground by Sai Yuhuan, bringing shame to her as the Young Master of Lanling, and then she was locked up in this narrow cell. No one would be happy about it.
"Let's leave quickly, or else someone will come later."
"good."
Hua Fushu nodded. It was late at night and the bandits were probably asleep. It was a good time to find out where Yu Chi Su was being held, so the two of them left in two steps.
The outline of the entire bandit camp can be seen on the plank road. It is already the middle of the night. Most people have fallen asleep and the candlelight has been extinguished. Only two or three houses have a few lights on. There are shadowy figures in front of the window, but soon the lights of several houses are also extinguished. The moonlight shines on the window lattice, appearing soft.
In the forests between the mountains, all birds are silent, and apart from the low chirping of summer insects and a few footsteps, it is peaceful.
The sound of footsteps, sometimes quick, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, rang out on the plank road, breaking the silence under the moon. The old crows perched on the trees were startled awake, spread their wings, cried, and were eager to fly.
Sai Yuhuan walked as fast as the wind, while Zhang Zhongjian walked slowly behind her. Because Sai Yuhuan was walking so fast, he said, "Linglong, why are you walking so fast? You can't get away."
Sai Yuhuan suddenly stopped, and Zhang Zhongjian bumped into her back without warning. "Let's see if those two will kill each other."
Zhang Zhongjian thought her words were self-contradictory. "If they were going to kill each other, why bother saving Yu Xuanji and the others? In the end, she didn't save Yu Xuanji, but only saved two small minions."
Sai Yuhuan blamed Yin Jiujiu: "Blame me, it wasn't me who saved them. If you want to blame someone, blame Yin Xiaosan. He didn't bring them back even though I asked him to."
She sent Yin Jiujiu down the mountain not to kill Yu Xuanji and others, but because she didn't want Yu Xuanji and others to die. She had two reasons. One was that Cai Yuanchang wanted to kill people and frame them, and she couldn't do as Cai Yuanchang wished. The other was that Yu Xuanji came for Cai Yuanchang's case. From a certain perspective, they should be considered a group with the same purpose.
Zhang Zhongjian didn't bother to argue with her about Yin Jiujiu and Yu Xuanji, and returned to business: "What was the name of the woman that Lao Zhu arrested? From what Lao Zhu said, I feel that this woman's behavior doesn't match the style of Cai Laogou."
Sai Yuhuan was also skeptical: "I don't think this is Cai Laogou's style either. The little girl confessed that Cai Laogou sent her. I'm not sure if she is Cai Laogou's person, so he had her locked up with Yu Xuanji's people. If she is Cai Laogou's person, then she might kill Yu Xuanji's people."
