Ziyun glared at Ah Hua Niang and said, "Lead the way, rest for a night, and return to Dajin tomorrow."
"Yes..." Ah Hua's mother wanted to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she was frightened away by the dagger against her waist and dared not say anything more.
They were like walking corpses, each of them desperate, self-blaming, and guilty. They watched Yan Bao bring people to the island. They knew there was danger, but they didn't dare to remind them. They could only watch them become trapped in a jar.
It's late now.
When Yan Bao and his companions arrived on the island and got off the boat, Yan Bao had already given orders: not to wander around, not to ask random questions, to cooperate with all actions, to be ready to eat and sleep, and not to cause trouble. Even if they saw through their disguise, they had to pretend not to see it.
Therefore, whenever Zhou Qi saw adults acting suspiciously, he would remind himself that he was blind and didn't see anything, so he couldn't ruin their good deeds.
The same goes for others.
After arriving on the island, Yan Bao found an empty house, tidied up and rested.
When it got dark, Ah Hua Niang and the others brought some food over. "There's not much food on the island. We only prepared some seafood porridge. Princess, please don't mind. Just have a few bites to fill your stomach."
"Put it down!" Ziyun served Yan Bao a bowl of seafood porridge in front of Ahua's mother and the others, as well as the Ninth Master who had been following them.
Seeing Yan Bao stirring the seafood porridge, blowing on it to cool it down a bit, and preparing to put it into his mouth, Ah Hua Niang suddenly said: "Princess..."
The knife on her back pierced her skin, causing her to shudder in pain. When Yan Bao looked over, Ah Hua Niang regained her composure and said, "Be careful, it's hot. It just came out of the pot."
Yan Bao chuckled and took a sip of the cooled seafood porridge: "It tastes good. The seafood is quite fresh. There are shrimp, crab, squid, and sea cucumber. There are also some vegetables. The meat and vegetable combination is fresh and sweet."
Yan Bao liked the food so much that he asked Zi Yun to have a bowl as well, and asked Zhou Qi and the others to share the rest.
He also gave two bowls to Ah Hua Niang and the Ninth Young Master.
Ziyun said, "You guys go down and have some porridge. After you're full, go to bed early. We'll set off tomorrow morning."
Ah Hua's mother watched Yan Bao drink most of the seafood porridge, unaware that he had been drugged. Now that things had come to this, there was no turning back.
She wanted to pretend to have been drugged, but unfortunately the Ninth Young Master wouldn't let her touch it at all. The drug was given by the Ninth Young Master, and it was said that after taking this drug, one would soon fall into a coma and become a prey at the mercy of others.
Ah Hua Niang listened to the Ninth Young Master's triumphant laughter and closed her eyes in despair.
As soon as they left Yan Bao's sight, they were immediately taken away and locked up. They had to wait for the drug to take effect on other people before they could come and reap their heads. It was too early to take action now.
At this time, another pot of seafood porridge was cooked in the kitchen. Hai Lao Er scooped a large bowl for Jiu Gongzi and said, "Jiu Gongzi, drink the porridge. Only when you are full can you have the strength to chop people."
"You're right." He poured out the seafood porridge that Yan Bao rewarded him and fed it to the dog.
He was holding the seafood porridge brought by Hai Laoer, and thought of the way Yan Bao blew on the hot porridge. He narrowed his eyes, and the hatred in his one eye was frightening.
The hungry people didn't care about the hot mouths and huddled in the corner, taking turns to drink a mouthful of porridge. They finished the bowl of porridge in no time. Seeing that there was still a lot in the pot, they scooped some more.
The Ninth Young Master ate politely, but when he saw the pirates eating pig food, he suddenly lost his appetite. He drank two mouthfuls of porridge, put it down, and was about to leave.
Hai Lao Er asked: "Where is the Ninth Young Master going? Their medicine hasn't taken effect yet. If they are discovered."
"Shut up." The Ninth Young Master gave Hai Lao Er a cold look, which scared him so much that he immediately shut up.
The Ninth Young Master was dressed in women's clothes and felt that today's plan was too smooth. The little princess in front of him was not as shrewd and unpredictable as he had met before. It seemed that he had overlooked something.
Looking at the yard, there was almost no one coming in or out.
Thinking of the little mute's calm yet somewhat sarcastic look, the Ninth Young Master felt more and more that something was wrong.
Just when he was confused, the big yellow dog that had eaten the seafood porridge he poured out ran towards him, raised its leg and started to urinate. After peeing, it sniffed here and there, seemingly unaffected by the drug.
It's impossible. The medicine he brought would make even a cow faint if it took it, let alone a dog.
After a bowl of seafood porridge, it stands to reason that dogs are more susceptible to Chinese medicine than humans.
Looking at the dog jumping around, he sucked a few times, thinking there was food. The big yellow dog ran towards the Ninth Young Master on its four short legs. The dog's eyes were full of excitement and anticipation, and there was no sign that it had been drugged.
Something is wrong!
Something is wrong!
Thinking of this, the Ninth Young Master immediately went to the courtyard where Yan Bao stayed. After walking a few steps, he saw Zhou Qi and the others. None of them showed any signs of unconsciousness, and they looked as if they were full and ready to roll up their sleeves to fight.
They looked at each other and Zhou Qi's eyes flashed with brilliance.
The Ninth Young Master's eyes changed.
Zhou Qi shouted, "Stop!"
The Ninth Young Master listened to the strong voices. Normally, after such a long time, the effect of the medicine should have taken effect. However, seeing how energetic they were and how unaffected they were, it was as if the medicine had not taken effect at all.
The Ninth Young Master couldn't understand why they ignored it when he had clearly administered the drugs himself?
The Ninth Young Master turned around and ran, asking Hai Lao Er and the others to help him deal with Zhou Qi. He was no match for Zhou Qi and the others alone.
When he ran to where Hai Laoer and the others were, he saw many pirates staggering, looking sleepy and without any energy. If it wasn't Chinese medicine, what else could it be?
Hai Lao Er asked Jiu Gongzi dizzily: "Did you give me the wrong medicine? Why do I feel so dizzy? I feel so dizzy..."
Before he could finish his words, everything went dark and Hai Lao Er fainted on the ground.
The Ninth Young Master didn't expect that all the pirates fainted, one by one. Those who had eaten seafood porridge basically fell to the ground.
