Chapter 546 Willing to Die for Him (Part 2)
The man seemed to have heard some joke.
"I've been here for many years, how would I know you?"
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows: "Then why are you helping me?"
The man leaned against the wall, tilting his head slightly.
"It's rare to see a living person, so I just chatted a little more."
Living person?
Yes, all the prisoners imprisoned here are on death row. They come and go, and in the end, won’t they all become dead?
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have to go in this time. I will thank you again when I come out."
The man laughed softly as if he heard a joke, but he started coughing violently as soon as he laughed.
It took him a long time to calm down, and he turned to look at Ye Chutang again.
"Do you think you can still come out?"
He glanced at Ye Chutang again, and understood what was going on.
"You are so anxious, the person inside must be very important to you."
Before Ye Chutang could reply, he heard the man chuckle.
"The little girl doesn't know her place. She likes a man and is willing to die for him."
Ye Chutang: “…”
She said seriously: "Sir, although you helped me, I still have to say that I don't plan to die."
She has always cherished her life, otherwise what would happen to the others at home?
The man's eyes slightly shifted. "Just relying on the sword in your hand? You have no internal strength, so if you go there, you will die."
Ye Chutang blinked slightly.
From what I heard, Shen Yanchuan was indeed in danger inside!
There is no time to lose!
Ye Chutang weighed the sword in his hand and smiled slightly.
"That's not the case."
"This sword is just an ordinary weapon, but - I have my own way."
The man closed his eyes again, lifted his broken leg with both hands and moved it, and blood began to seep out of the wound again.
Then he pulled out a small piece of tile from the wall next to him. It looked like a broken bowl. He rolled up his trousers and saw that the meat there had indeed rotted again.
He used the thin tile to scrape off the rotten flesh, bit by bit, his movements were gentle but very serious.
Under the dim candlelight, this scene is really creepy!
"If you want to go, just go."
He didn't look up again, just spoke casually.
Ye Chutang's eyes swept over his legs, he nodded slightly to thank him again, then turned and left.
Soon, it became quiet again.
Just like every day and every night over the past years.
The man finally scraped off all the rotten flesh on his legs, revealing only the white bones.
He let out a long breath, then used some weeds to roughly clean the tile and put it back.
…
It was getting darker ahead.
Ye Chutang's figure almost merged into the darkness.
Her movements were so light that she did not attract any attention when she passed by the cells holding death row prisoners again.
At a certain point, she finally stopped and listened.
After a moment, she finally caught a sharp and subtle sound!
——Someone is fighting!
At this time and in this place, there is no other possibility except Chen Yanchuan!
Ye Chutang held his breath, and the voice sounded more real.
One against many, no wonder the man just now said that she would be dead if she came in——
wrong!
Ye Chutang suddenly realized something: Shen Yanchuan came in alone, but the other party had a large number of people. If they came in together, they would definitely attract attention.
But the previous jailer never mentioned it, he only said that he had seen Shen Yanchuan.
In other words, the people who were fighting with Shen Yanchuan at this moment... were not the ones who entered here today!
Ye Chutang’s mind raced.
She did not continue to go inside, but took slight steps and hid herself behind the corner.
Standing here, the sounds of fighting became even more obvious.
Ye Chutang pressed himself tightly against the wall, using the shadow cast by the candlelight in the aisle in front of him to perfectly hide his figure.
Then she took out a fire starter and a packet of medicine powder from her purse.
Ye Chutang poured out the medicine powder, which turned a light ochre red. If you listen carefully, you can also smell a very faint bitter smell.
But the smell is not pungent and is very light and unnoticeable.
This is the magic powder developed by Ye Chutang himself.
Oral administration is the best, but now that I can't get close, I can only settle for the next best thing.
Ye Chutang turned slightly to the side, with his back to the faint candlelight, and blew gently on the fire starter. The fire starter flickered brightly and soon burned.
Then she lit the magic powder.
The ochre-red powder quickly turned into a charred black color when it encountered high temperature, and a faint white smoke drifted away.
The originally light bitter taste instantly became much stronger, but it spread silently to the surroundings with just a slight breeze.
Ye Chutang covered his mouth and nose and stood quietly waiting.
…
Clang——hiss!
Shen Yanchuan stabbed the person in front of him in the chest with a sword!
Blood splattered, and the wall next to it was stained with a few spots of scarlet.
The man was so frightened that he only had time to block with his dagger. However, Shen Yanchuan's sword was so powerful that it still pierced his body steadily, only half an inch away from his heart!
Chen Yanchuan's brows were cold, and he turned his wrist. The tip of the sword cut a hole in the man's chest, leaving a bloody mess!
"ah!"
The man was thrown to the ground and finally couldn't help groaning in pain.
When the people around saw this scene, their faces all looked very ugly.
After fighting for such a long time, Shen Yanchuan did not lose the upper hand at all.
As for them, three of them have been injured.
"It seems that the previous illness was all fake!" The man in prison uniform sneered and spat out blood.
They have put in a lot of effort to plan for today, and they must not let anything go to waste!
"Too bad you have to stay here today no matter what!"
After the man said that, he suddenly took a step back, then pried the cell door next to him with his fingers, opening the door a crack, and took out a crossbow from behind it!
The crossbow was made of bronze and was extremely heavy, but it seemed extremely light in the man's hand.
The moment Shen Yanchuan saw the crossbow, his eyes darkened.
That is——
"There's no need to waste any more time." The man sneered and pulled the bowstring ready to shoot!
At this time, Chen Yanchuan was trapped in a dead end, with no hope of escape from either side.
At such a close distance, this crossbow is enough to shoot him through! He was killed on the spot!
Chen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched the sword in his hand.
Just as he was thinking about how to break out, a very faint bitter smell came.
Chen Yanchuan realized something was wrong after just one breath and immediately held his breath!
But all the attention of the people on the opposite side was on him, and for a moment they didn't notice it.
“Go to hell!”
The man shouted loudly and was about to pull the trigger.
However, at this moment, his hand movements suddenly slowed down, and the arrow lost its accuracy. It flew out with a whoosh, and then with a "whoosh" sound, it brushed past Shen Yanchuan's sleeve and was nailed to the stone wall!
