Could it be that Grandmother's mind has not fully recovered and her memory is confused?
Su Ruojin did not refute the old lady, but patiently asked, "Grandmother, do you know where these people are?"
The old lady shook her head. "They send someone to deliver my meals at a set time every day. I will wake up for a while at that time. After I finish eating, they will feed me medicine and make me fall asleep."
One day, I took advantage of the food delivery person's inattention, knocked him unconscious, and escaped. I saw them bring back some children, but before I could figure out what was happening, I was discovered and brought back.
Su Ruojin felt a wave of fear after hearing this.
My grandmother is so old, yet she managed to knock someone unconscious and escape. If something unexpected had happened along the way, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"They're all children, Xiao Jin, we have to save them."
The old lady was a little anxious. Although she didn't know why these people had brought the child here, she was sure it wasn't anything good.
Su Ruojin nodded and comforted her, "Grandmother, don't worry, let's look again. If they're still here, we'll definitely find them."
Su Yiting immediately led his men to search the cave. Given Zhu Huang's precedent of escaping through the tunnel, their goal this time was to find any other mechanisms or secret passages.
Not long after, someone shouted, "Found it!"
Su Ruojin first let the old lady rest in the room, then she quickly walked out of the room and followed the sound.
Seeing the scene before her, Su Ruojin narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly.
This is a mechanism discovered by the guards; opening it reveals a cave.
There were seven or eight children in the cave, the oldest being about ten years old and the youngest being two or three years old.
Perhaps because they had only been captured for a short time, the children only looked a little dirty and thin, but otherwise they were fine.
The children were all kind-hearted; the older ones held the younger ones in their arms and watched Su Ruojin and the others warily.
A little girl of seven or eight years old stepped forward, her face full of anger. "Where did you take my little brother? Give my little brother back to me! Give my little brother back to me!"
After saying that, the little girl rushed towards Su Ruojin with red eyes, raising her fist as if she wanted to fight Su Ruojin to the death, shouting, "Give me back my brother."
A guard stepped forward and blocked Su Ruojin's path, picking up the already thin girl like a chick.
Seeing the little girl being grabbed by the guards, the other children's eyes were filled with terror.
Su Ruojin glanced at the children in the cave, raised her hand, and pointed to the oldest boy inside, "You, tell me what's going on? If you explain well, I'll let you out."
The boy was holding a little girl of about five or six years old tightly in his hand. When the little girl saw Su Ruojin point at her brother, she burst into tears: "Don't grab my brother, brother, don't go, brother, don't leave Nini."
The boy pursed his lips tightly, staring fiercely at Su Ruojin, refusing to utter a single word.
Su Ruojin smiled gently, "You won't tell, huh? Then take your sister away first."
She waved her hand, and the guards beside her came over to take the little girl away.
The boy panicked and quickly shielded his sister behind him, saying, "Don't touch her! If you want to take her, take me with you first!"
Su Ruojin looked at him and said, "I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer me. If you answer well, I'll let you and your sister go."
The boy's eyes were filled with disbelief, but he still tightly shielded his sister behind him with his hands: "Ask away."
"Who brought you here?"
The boy looked at Su Ruojin with a strange expression: "Weren't we the ones who kidnapped us?"
Su Ruojin pointed to the little girl being carried by the guard, "Where did her little brother go?"
The boy shook his head. "I don't know."
"How long have you been here?"
The boy thought for a moment: "Four days."
Su Ruojin raised her eyebrows, somewhat curious, "How do you keep track of time in this cave?"
The boy pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Su Ruojin looked at the little girl behind the boy and waved, "Come here to your sister."
The little girl was so frightened that she huddled even tighter behind her brother, not daring to peek out.
