While Xiushui was sharpening his knives, a man in a corner outside the city saw several people coming towards him and hurried forward to report.
"The boss is in trouble. After I passed the message, they settled down and did not go in. But who knows if they were spotted by someone when they entered the city gate. There are a few beautiful ones.
Not long after they settled in, they were forcibly taken to that place again.”
When the young servant in the lead heard this, he became so angry that his face turned ugly.
"The master finally ordered us to do something, but you guys did it like this."
Lan Gui was so angry that he wanted to curse. His son had finally finished his work and returned to the young master of Qingguo to receive his first task, but he didn't expect that it was messed up by his subordinates.
"Master, we can only find a way to sneak in and rescue them. But there are hundreds of them, so it's not easy to rescue them."
There are simply too many people, otherwise how could they fail to complete their masters' tasks?
Lan Gui also knew this, and although she was angry, she did not go so far as to beat or scold these people.
"Then we must do our best to remedy the situation. Especially with the Wen family, we can't let anything go wrong."
Thinking of the young master's specific instructions to take good care of the girl named Xiushui from the Wen family, Lan Gui wanted to cry even more.
He speculated that since this beautiful girl from the Wen family could attract so much attention from the young master, it went without saying that he must have caught his eye, and she might even be a candidate for a concubine in the future.
For so many years, the young master has never fallen in love with anyone. Now there is someone he cares about. If they lose their care for that person...
"No, I have to think of a way. This Shisha City is also very evil. Everyone believes in those weird things. It's not easy to break in and fool them."
Thinking that most of the people left in Shisha City were brainwashed and had an abnormal trust and worship of the city's defense chief, Lan Gui had a headache again.
This mission seemed to be just to protect some ordinary people. At that time, I thought the mission was simple, but now it seems that this mission is really difficult.
After stomping on the spot a few times, he gritted his teeth and gave an order to someone.
“It is said that there is a special person here who dares to defy the Lord of Shisha City.
Let’s go find her.”
"Sir, that man is said to have a strange temper. If we're not careful, we might not be able to get help from him, but end up being harmed by him instead."
"Humph, you don't need to ask me about what I want to do."
After all, Lan Gui has been trained since childhood, how could she be manipulated by a servant?
At that moment, the man quickly went to Wenlingju.
While Lan Gui was anxiously thinking of a way to save the Wen family, the city was in chaos.
Originally, it was a place where beautiful men and women were imprisoned, but when something happened here, people outside didn't know about it.
Because those who were originally defending outside were now all lying on the ground with their bodies covered in black.
If someone who knows medicine takes a look, they will know that these people have all been poisoned.
The second incident was the place where the elderly and disabled people were detained.
After being imprisoned in this place, Wen Bibo and the old village chief and his group of elderly people found that everyone here had a look of fear on their faces.
When they saw them coming in, someone sighed and murmured softly, "Alas, another group of two-legged sheep have been brought in. What a sin."
There was a child with mobility problems who curled up in her arms and cried softly.
"Grandma, I don't want to die. I don't want to be boiled."
The woman looked at him numbly, tears of despair streaming from her eyes.
"Kid, accept your fate. We can't escape."
Wen Bibo frowned, while the old village chief heard something from the words of the grandfather and grandson.
He and several elders exchanged glances, and all of them felt chilled.
"Um... us?"
After those people threw them in, they didn't pay much attention to them and didn't seem to be afraid of them communicating at all.
The old woman ignored the village chief's questions and immersed herself in sorrow.
Wen Bibo took out a piece of candy from his arms and put it in the child's hand.
"Eat quietly."
The child's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew it was a candy bar, something he had eaten at home before.
The child looked up at his grandmother, who nodded, sighed softly, and looked seriously at the group of newcomers.
"Why are you guys here for a free meal? There's really no such thing as a free meal in this world. We only found out after we got here that everyone imprisoned here is given food."
"food?"
These words further confirmed the elders' guess, and for a moment everyone's faces looked very ugly.
"Yes, food. The city defense officer fed more than a dozen wolves, a dozen dogs, a big bear, tigers, leopards, and so on.
How can we feed so many animals without some meat?
Those of us who are useless or sick are just food for the animals. Oh, do you remember the delicious meat buns you ate when you came in?"
The elders and others who had eaten the meat buns all looked discolored when they heard this.
"Then, then...the meat bun, could it be..."
Before the old woman could say anything, a man sitting next to her, so thin that he could be blown down by the wind, started laughing wildly.
"That meat is from the legs of us old men, or whatever meat we can cut off.
Fragrant, isn't it extra fragrant? Hahahaha, today we eat others, tomorrow newcomers eat us, this is the characteristic of Shisha City..."
The people from Houshan Village who had just been brought in felt disgusted by the delicious buns they had eaten before.
Those who were having the most fun and wanted to eat for free couldn't hold back any longer and squatted down and started crying loudly.
The people inside, seeing them vomiting violently, laughed out loud like crazy.
"Hahahaha... Vomit, vomit, you won't be clean anymore if you vomit more.
If we eat our own kind, we can no longer be called human beings. This is what the people of Shisha City love to do the most. In their view, all those who enter the city should be reduced to demons in the world.
In the future, if you believe in their gods and Buddhas, perhaps you can wash away the filth..."
As they spoke, these people looked at the two people who were moving forward with hatred and fear.
The two men looked a little better, but their eyes had strangely turned red. They came up to the newcomers and looked at them with a condescending attitude.
"If you follow me and believe in the Flower Lord, you will be saved!
Even if you are chosen by the city lord's pets and eaten as food, you will be able to cleanse your filth and join our Flower God Kingdom, becoming a flower citizen with immeasurable merit."
Wen Bibo's face darkened as he heard this. So, everyone in this city must be crazy. Even if they're locked up and used as food, they're still trying to squeeze every last bit of value out of people, making them believe in some imaginary gods...
