Beauty has a disease

Chapter 16

On the other side, Zhan Shuyun fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, and he got up slowly only after he slowed down.

He should have fallen into the ground, another space that has been excavated.

It's terribly dark here, with no light at all, even if you put your hand in front of your eyes, you can't see the outline. Here, like a blind person deprived of vision, he can only move forward by groping.

I don't know what's in this space, and the air is filled with a rotten smell, which is extremely unpleasant.

The sound of chains shaking made Zhan Shuyun stop and hold his breath. Although his eyes were useless at the moment, he subconsciously stared at the source of the sound vigilantly.

"……who?"

Hoarse voices, unidentifiable between male, female, old and young, like a musical instrument that has been placed for a long time, even if it is fiddled with, it can only produce an old and decayed sound, which is weak.

Zhan Shuyun wasn't sure what the situation was, so he didn't dare to respond hastily.

"It's been more than ten years, and finally an outsider has come here... It's good for you to be more vigilant, they must be hunted down."

That voice was really weak, and after only two words, he was exhausted and gasped for breath.

"Do you have a firefly or a flint on you? There are candles on the wall, and you will feel more at ease when you light them." The voice said.

Zhan Shuyun really had something on his body, he was thinking about it, trying to decide whether what this person said was true or not.

The voice stopped urging, and after panting, it disappeared, just like when he first fell in, as if he had never appeared before.

What this person said just now meant that he had been imprisoned here for more than ten years and had not seen anyone other than bandits. In addition, the weakness in this person's voice could not be pretended. Zhan Shuyun decided to gamble after careful consideration. a handful.

If this is a pit, then he has already fallen into the trap and cannot escape, isn't he?

Zhan Shuyun took out the fire pocket, groped to lean to the side, and occasionally stepped on something under his feet, and it felt like a mass of rotten things exploded, and the stench became stronger.

Zhan Shuyun tried his best to ignore these feelings, and concentrated on moving to the side to touch, and soon his palm touched something that should be the wall.

With a little spark from Huozhezi, Zhan Shuyun finally found a half-burned candle and lit it.

A candle was lit, and the bean-sized fire swept away a haze, and Zhan Shuyun used this light to light the three remaining candles on the wall one by one.

All four candles were lit, and the space finally brightened up. Zhan Shuyun's eyes flicked around, his pupils shrank slightly.

The underground space is not large, the excavation is very simple, and there are no rules around it, just like a big pit was dug temporarily under the ground. There are rotten meat and bones in the pit, and even a complete human skeleton. A man in ragged clothes sat there, his limbs were bound by chains and stretched to the top of the pit. Around the man were scattered dead rats, and many rotten and shapeless things.

The figure of that person should be a woman, with disheveled and covered hair, closed eyes, abnormally pale skin, thin bones and long nails, just like a female ghost in a storybook.

"you……"

who are you?
How will you be here?

What's wrong with you?
you……

Zhan Shuyun only said "you" and didn't know how to continue asking. He was too confused and wanted to ask everything. It can be seen that he couldn't ask anything when he saw a woman in such a situation.

"I made you laugh." The woman said, and then she wanted to laugh, and then she started to cough, even the cough was so light, and she had no strength.

Zhan Shuyun untied the purse on his body and walked forward, gently took the woman's hand and poured out a handful of dough cakes, "You should be hungry, this is the dough cake I brought with me, it's not much, you will eat it soon Let's do it."

The woman tugged at the corners of her mouth, unable to tell whether she wanted to cry or laugh, her chapped lips were split open again by this movement, and bright red oozes out, but it doesn't flow.

The woman's eyes opened a thin slit, and then closed quickly, obviously living in a dark environment for a long time and can't stand the light, even if the candlelight is so weak.

The woman slowed down and down, looking down at the open palms, she said: "What is it, I haven't eaten human food for a long time..."

"Then before you..."

"I live on rats and worms that crawl in."

Zhan Shuyun watched the woman swallow the bread bit by bit, and remained silent.

"You are hurt."

"It's just a small injury." Zhan Shuyun's face remained normal.

The woman regained some strength, laughed lowly, and was noncommittal about Zhan Shuyun's conclusion, she asked: "You are from the capital, I heard you have a capital accent."

"Yes."

"What year is it now?"

Zhan Shuyun replied: "Kangtai nine years."

"Kangtai..." She didn't know Kangtai's year name, so she could only ask in another way, "How long has it been since the 36th year of Youhe?"

"16."

"Sixteen years have passed..." The woman sighed, "Do you have a job in Beijing?"

"Yes." He only said yes, not any title.

The woman didn't care, she said: "Young master, listen to me tell a story. After the story is finished, I will give you something. How about doing something for me?"

After Ember hid Cui Shexi properly, she took off the cloak, tore a hole from the seam, and reached in to draw out a night suit.

Ember quickly changed her clothes, hesitated for a moment, and finally covered Cui Shexi with a thick and uneven cloak that lacked a layer of padding, then took out a narrow dagger from her calf, and spent time peeling it off. I made a trap with some wood and vines, and sprinkled some powder around, and after making sure nothing was missed, I disappeared into the forest.

Appearing in front of the mountain gate again, the defense of the mountain gate has become even tighter. It seems that Zhan Shuyun should not have been caught yet.

Ember calmed down a bit, quietly hid in the night again, and headed west.

Cui Shexi once said that there are mountains and forests in the west, and there are many animals and wild animals. It can be seen that it is an open area, which can be connected to the inside and outside of the bandit village.

Although wild beasts are dangerous, firstly, animals will hibernate in winter, and secondly, although she is in poor health, she has confidence in her concealment skills, and she can still do it without alarming wild beasts.

Along the way, he sneaked into the bandit village again without any risk, Yu Jin did not act rashly, but patiently observed, discerned the movements of the bandits, and analyzed the layout of the village and Zhan Shuyun's current situation according to their movement.

Through their messages and exchanges, as well as the division of labor of different personnel, Ember roughly figured out the following pieces of information:
Zhan Shuyun is still at large, but injured.

The warehouse should be strictly guarded to prevent thieves from stealing goods.

The female bandit leader was also injured, but she still insisted on receiving someone.

Ember sneered in her heart, she was a gang of bandits for thieves, and she still yelled that others were thieves, it was ridiculous.

After thinking for a while, Yu Jin thought that she might not be able to find Zhan Shuyun for a while, so she decided to go and see who the female bandit leader was receiving. Strictly guarded, isn't it?
Strict guarding must have the effect of strict guarding.
