Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 98 The Cellar
Fan Qing walked to the chicken coop and turned to look at Wan Yan strangely.

Wan Yan saw pride and excitement in his eyes.

That kind of complacency made his body tremble, and he grinned, his cold white teeth glistening in the moonlight.

Wan Yan clenched her hands tightly.

"Sister, hurry up, I want to sleep." Fan twisted her body like a baby, but her voice was icy cold, blending into the night, making people shudder.

Wan Yan couldn't understand, was Fan mad or not?

Fan Qing looked in front of the chicken coop for a while, then stretched out his hands to hold the railings on both sides of the iron cage, and he easily moved the big cage to the side.

The chicks were frightened, fluttered their wings, and ran back and forth violently in the chicken coop.

Fan Shi giggled, reached out to the chicken coop through the railing, grabbed the slowest chick and held it in his hand.

The chick was pinched, its neck was shaking from side to side, its claws were dangling in the air, and it was struggling desperately, making a series of chirping sounds from its mouth.

With the last hoarse cry, the chick drooped its head and remained motionless in Fan's hands.

died.

Wan Yan watched with horror.

Fan handed the dead chicken to Wan Yan, "Look, it's dead, hehe."

Wan Yan retracted her hands, her eyes dim with tears, Fan proudly placed the chicken cub in front of Wan Yan's eyes, watching her tremble happily.

"It's just dead, it's okay." He said that he wanted to put the dead chicken on Wan Yan's shoulder.

Wan Yan cried in fright, covered her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from screaming, pushed Fan away with the other, and avoided her in a panic.

Fan laughed triumphantly, the silent night was eerie.

"How simple, it's just a dead chicken, do you want more?"

Wan Yan covered her mouth and shook her head desperately, what is this kind of Fan if he is not a lunatic?
Fan Qing turned around and blamed Fan Shi dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing? If you are disobedient, I will lock you up too?"

Fan's face showed panic, he threw away the chicken cubs in his hand, and ran to Fan Qing's side without saying a word.

Wan Yan saw Fan Qing remove the chicken coop, and lifted the straw mat under the chicken coop, revealing a wooden cover.

Wan Yan looked at the wooden cover in horror, and wiped the wet corners of her eyes.

She is going to collapse!
Fan Qing carefully looked left and right, and lifted the wooden cover with a creak.

There was a musty smell.

Fan Qing ignored it, turned to look at Wan Yan, "Come on, be obedient, it's useless to shout, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Wan Yan is going to die.

But what else can she do?
Walking to the door of the cellar, Wan Yan looked down, and a wooden ladder was placed at the door of the cellar, leading directly to the inside.

Wan Yan walked down the wooden ladder holding the hope of being alive, and Fan pushed her hard behind her.

Wan Yan staggered slightly, and before she could figure out what was going on, the cellar door was closed.

There was a rustling sound above her head, Wan Yan was desperate, the cellar was hidden so deep, even if the adults searched the yard, they would not have thought that she was hidden under the chicken coop.

In the darkness, Wan Yan was cold all over.

But after a while, Wan Yan noticed something, the cellar was not completely in the dark, but there was some light in front of it.

Wan Yan bent her waist and boldly walked towards the bright place.

Ten steps later, Wan Yan turned right under the cellar entrance and found the real cellar.

It was a four-square space for three people, with a vent leading to the ground.

There was a wooden plank on the ground, and there was a person lying on the floor.

Wan Yan ran over quickly, it was a woman, her whole body was hot and motionless.

"Wake up, wake up!" With the only light from the vent, Wan Yan brushed the girl's face.

The eyebrows are straight, eyes are closed, and the white jade hairpin is dangling on the top of the head with the hair bag.

White Jade Hairpin, she recognized this White Jade Hairpin, and also recognized this person.

Wanyan's nose was sore, tears dripped on the girl's cheeks, "Lu Mingyu, I found you."

The girl tried to open her eyes when she heard the voice, her dry lips moved, trying to push Wan Yan away.

"Lu Mingyu, it's me. I'm Xue Wanyan. Do you remember me? We met in Qingyang Painting and Calligraphy Studio. Aunt Lu came from Lingjiang Mansion to look for you. Everyone is looking for you. Wake up."

Lu Mingyu moved, as if she understood what Wan Yan said, two lines of tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, Wan Yan was reluctant, dipped her fingers into the tears, and wiped them on Lu Mingyu's chapped lips.

"Miss Lu, wake up, really, you have to survive, everyone is looking for you outside, we are now trapped in the cellar, I don't know how you got here, I was also tricked..."

Wan Yan's voice was choked with sobs, "Lu Mingyu, wake up, we must find a way to escape, you must wake up."

Wan Yan's tears dripped down, and her heart gradually calmed down.

Meeting Lu Mingyu, she felt relieved and hopeful.

If she was locked up here alone, she might be nothing but panic and despair.

It's different now, Lu Mingyu is still alive, she has someone she can rely on, or in other words, if the two work together, there may be a possibility of escaping.

Xu was infected by Wanyan, Lu Mingyu murmured, "Water."

Wan Yan put her back on the wooden board, and looked at the small space with the faint light.

As her eyes got used to the darkness, Wan Yan saw two dried up steamed buns under the vent, and the stuffing smelled rancid.

On the wall below the vent hangs a bowl of water.

This is a life-saving straw, Wan Yan untied the rope in three steps, and carefully held the water bowl in his hand.

After smelling it, it smelled the same. She wasn't sure how long the water had been left and whether it was dry or not.

But now she has no other choice.

Wan Yan took the opportunity to look outside the vent, she couldn't touch it, but she could smell the smell of chaff coming from outside.

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't guess what was beyond the vent.

Lu Mingyu gulped down the water, the bowl soon bottomed out, Wan Yan touched Lu Mingyu's forehead with trembling hands, it was terribly hot.

When Wan Yan was at a loss, Lu Mingyu slowly opened her eyes, and she recognized Wan Yan.

"Are you awake? There's nothing here..." Wan Yan wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Why are you here?" Lu Mingyu pointed to a corner under the vent that Wan Yan couldn't see, "People died there, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Wan Yan's heart shuddered, and she found out that Lu Mingyu's body was covered with blood by the light.

Lu Mingyu touched her neck, "Here, I used a knife before, I can't let Fan Qing get close... so I have to do this."

Wan Yan hugged Lu Mingyu tightly, and both of them couldn't stop shaking.

"Are you okay?" Wan Yan couldn't stop asking, knowing that it was not good, "Where is the place above the vent, can we escape?"

Lu Mingyu struggled and covered her head, shaking her head, "I don't know, trying to shout, making noise, it's no use at all, I've been here for four days, and I only ate on the first day, if it wasn't for you... I might die Here it is."

Wan Yan held Lu Mingyu's hand, it was hot and thin.

"Don't be discouraged, I'm here now, let's find a way to escape." Although Wan Yan's teeth were shaking, she still tried her best to encourage Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu struggled to stand up, but she got up and fell down again, "I... can't, I have a terrible headache, I can't do it, Miss Xue, go out and tell my mother, I miss her very much."

"No, how can you give up like this? Now that I'm here, I won't let you die."

Lu Mingyu burst into tears, "Fan Shi and Fan Qing are both lunatics, he dug this cellar early, we can't escape."

"No, Mr. Yin Su of Tongshan Mansion must know that I am missing now. He will look for me, and he will. Before that, let's protect ourselves and find a way to escape!"

Wan Yan's firmness infected Lu Mingyu.

In the darkness, Wan Yan saw hope in Lu Mingyu's gloomy eyes...
