C205 (1/2)
The change was sudden, and even the expressionless women were at a loss.
Without knowing what happened, a few women suddenly came in and chased out the women who were lining up to go in. ”Quick, quickly retreat!” The one inside brought her out as well! ”
He was talking about Xie Jingxi, and the person who taught her how to light a fire at the side had immediately led her outside without saying a word, causing Lady Li to appear in the courtyard once again. He suddenly swept a glance at Xie Jingxi, and what made Xie Jingxi realize was that Lady Li was not the same as these expressionless people.
”Be more nimble, take away all that you can. I will deal with those that can't be taken away!” Lady Li shouted to the small courtyard.
He even assigned those that he could and couldn't take away? Xie Jingxi looked at them, a little at a loss. She subconsciously felt that she belonged in the part that could not be taken away.
Could it be that those who could not be taken away were not their people? It was as if her identity had not been verified, which meant that the people who weren't considered to be them, who couldn't be taken away could only be abandoned or simply silenced.
However, what was the reason for their sudden transfer and withdrawal? Could it be …
”Go over there!” Xie Jingxi was pushed towards the Lady Li, ”And the other two!”
Xie Jingxi was pushed until she staggered and almost fell to the ground. Lady Li took the opportunity to pull her up and whispered into her ear, ”Follow me, don't run around.”
Xie Jingxi's heart skipped a beat. Was Lady Li going to help her?
There were still three or four that were carried out like Xie Jingxi, but they had expressions of panic on their faces. This was probably because of an instinctive sense of ominous feeling, which made Xie Jingxi even more certain that those that couldn't be carried away would definitely be silenced. It was probably because they were about to be exterminated, so they did not blindfold them when they left. They only used a string together to be carried out by the Lady Li.
After leaving the small courtyard, they had passed through a long secret passage. No, more accurately speaking, it was more like a man-made cave, and at the exit ahead, there was still faint light, accompanied by protruding rocks in the surroundings and the sound of dripping water. Although Xie Jingxi had not walked through the cave, she knew that the secret passage would not be like this.
Are there any other mountains in the Quadruple Town? This place was flat, so where did this cave come from?
After leaving the secret cave, there was another four-sided courtyard. It was unknown if it was the same one that she had gone to before, but according to the distance, there were more people gathered here waiting to be silenced like her. Lady Li pulled them along with the rest of the people in the courtyard and brought them away from this place once again.
After passing through another secret cave, Xie Jingxi heard a burst of rumbling sounds, as if a huge stone door had been closed. The echoes around became even louder, as if there was a secret room underneath, this secret room was very big, like a maze spinning around. One after another, dead bodies were thrown to the side, and then, she smelt the smell of burning oil.
This is burning corpses.
Xie Jingxi was panicking a little in her heart. This kind of sealed secret chamber, as long as the fire burned, even if she didn't die, she would at least die from suffocation.
Lady Li continued to bring them through the maze, and after walking for a while more, she pulled the rope in her hand, and the rest of the rope she was tied to Xie Jingxi fell onto the ground at the corner of the wall. Lady Li had directly slashed a vital point, and the few of them swallowed their breaths.
Xie Jingxi wanted to say something several times but the Lady Li suddenly said, ”Don't ask anything, the less you know, the better.”
Xie Jingxi kept her mouth shut. Lady Li brought her all the way to the entrance of the secret room, and after seeing that there was no one around, she directly opened the secret room's mechanism. She then pushed her out of the room, ”If you don't want to die too quickly, find a place to play dead.
”You … Why did you save me? ” The moment the secret room door was about to close, Xie Jingxi still asked.
Lady Li's body froze, his face was buried in the darkness of the secret passage, ”There's no reason, you shouldn't belong here. I advise you, if you want to live, treat it as never coming here.”
The moment the sound of the secret room door closed, the surroundings became completely devoid of light. This place did not manage to completely walk out of the ground, Xie Jingxi did not know why Lady Li threw her here, she would still be trapped inside if she did not leave. Furthermore, as the fire from inside continued to spread, a large amount of smoke unavoidably surged out from the gaps in the door, it was not cold anymore, but Xie Jingxi felt around in the dark, trying to feel around the areas where the smoke was shallow.
She thought that this place was probably the last point that led outside, the people that left would not return for now, and the people outside would not be able to come in temporarily, so relatively speaking, this place was temporarily safe. To be able to make them leave in such a panicked manner, something big must have happened outside, maybe there were already shouts and cries of war coming from outside, who could it be Gu Yun?
Halfway through, he met a few people who came out with Zhao Zhang. After knowing that Zhao Zhang had been captured, he no longer thought about it, and directly led a few experts into the house. Fortunately, the people in the Quadruple Town were a bit slower in reacting, otherwise, it would not have been so easy.
Gu Yun went in and caught a random person, ”Bring me to see your big brother, if you dare try anything, I'll send you on your way.”
