Lu Mingshu briefly explained what had happened, and both sides fell silent.
After a long time, the old lady asked: "The boy disappeared, after you searched for a few days, you found out that it was the problem of the dragon absorbing water?"
"Yes." She replied, "There are a lot of merchant ships passing by that section of the waterway. After checking, I found that there was a dragon sucking water that day."
"How can you tell that it's the problem of the dragon absorbing water?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but this is the most suspicious point in the whole incident."
"Okay." The old woman seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Mingshu asked: "Grandma, is he still there now? Is it too far away and can't hear me?"
"He's gone."
Lu Mingshu was startled: "What? What do you mean he's not here? He..."
"Shouldn't be dead." The old woman's voice showed a trace of mockery, "That kid, he's really a ghost, he must have fooled Yao Lao, right?"
Lu Mingshu didn't understand, but Xie Lianzhen was fine, so she could tell.
The uncle said a step ahead of her: "What? Old woman, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by fooling Yao Lao?"
"Hehe," said the old woman, "that kid has a big mouth! On the day he moved in, he fooled Xiao Zhang and old man Liao next door. If the old lady didn't live far away and didn't talk, she probably wanted to fool me too. After a few days God, he was asked to test the medicine and never came back."
The uncle only knew that someone came in a few days ago, but because he lived far away, he didn't know who it was, let alone the follow-up. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Are you so sure that he got the old man tricked by the medicine instead of being killed?"
The old lady sneered: "You old boy, you are ugly and you don't use your brain. This girl said that he has already reached the peak of the fusion state. With this cultivation, can he be killed in one go? Kill us first, he is not willing to give up such good experimental materials."
The uncle was dissatisfied: "If you talk about him, just talk about him, why are you belittling me? You old woman, why don't you practice your morals so well?"
"The old lady has practiced morality for five years, so what? Still can't get out."
Uncle has nothing to say.
"Grandmother," Lu Mingshu asked promptly, "When was he taken out to test the medicine?"
"This... After coming for about three or four days, I was asked to test the medicine."
In other words, Xie Lianzhen came in not long ago, and disappeared again.
Lu Mingshu took a deep breath, she had to hold her own, she had seen Xie Lianzhen's ability before, just with a single mouth, he could make people's hearts ache, wishing he could pinch him to death. Didn't the mother-in-law say it too? When he came in, he fooled the two neighbors, and it was not difficult to fool a lunatic who arrested someone to test the medicine. The key now is...
"What kind of person is Yao Lao?"
The mother-in-law and the uncle were silent, and Lu Mingshu seemed to feel their fear through the air. After being tortured by one person for more than ten years, or even thirty years, it is difficult not to be afraid.
It was the mother-in-law who spoke last: "You will know in a few days, now take a good rest and maintain your strength, otherwise..."
"Trying medicine is painful?"
"Oh," the uncle mocked, "It's not painful, why am I like this? Little girl, cherish the last few days. He let me try the medicine this time, and it will be your turn in a few days."
…
"Number Five, come out!"
At noon this day, I finally heard this sentence.
Lu Mingshu got up and straightened his clothes, watching the iron door being opened little by little.
At this distance, the two guards who have just passed the fusion state, if she makes a move, she can kill them with one move...
She walked towards the iron gate step by step, and as soon as she reached the iron gate, a rope flew over and quickly tied her up. On this rope, profound energy fluctuated violently, crushing the true energy in her body to death.
Satisfied, the two guards escorted her out of the cell.
Lu Mingshu's mother-in-law once warned her: "When they come to lead people, don't try to resist. Don't think that those two are weak, and you have a chance. They have treasures in hand. When you step out of the prison, there are crises everywhere. The more you resist, the more you will suffer."
How could she resist? If she didn't see Yao Lao, where could she find Xie Lianzhen
Step by step, he walked out of the long passage, passed through the cells, and finally exited the gate.
Her eyes suddenly came into contact with the sun, and she squinted uncomfortably.
"Let's go!" Probably satisfied with her cooperative attitude, the guard didn't push rudely, but just sipped.
Lu Ming comfortably responded to the strong light outside, and continued to walk forward, while walking, while observing the surroundings with his peripheral vision.
This should be in the depths of a certain mountain, and the cell they are in is between the rocks. There are not many houses around, the trees are tall and very shaded, but the grass is relatively sparse. The weather is a bit cold, it is already noon, and after entering the forest, I can still feel the cold...
From the mountain road, about a hundred feet away, they turned into a valley.
There are neatly arranged houses in the valley, and many men and women wearing similar clothes to the guards are working. Seeing them escorting people over, those people didn't even raise their heads, as if they were used to it.
Lu Mingshu looked very carefully, keeping the terrain, buildings, people...all in mind.
The guards escorted her directly into the deepest cave.
That cool feeling is even worse here.
Walk through the long mountainside walkway, and finally arrive at an isolated stone cave, which is full of various utensils and emits an inexplicable strange smell.
"Yao Lao, bring it here on the fifth."
Lu Mingshu saw a white and fat man emerge from among the piles of utensils.
…
In the cell, when Lu Mingshu left, the uncle suddenly said: "Old woman, you haven't given up yet?"
After a while, a gloomy voice came from the other end: "Have you given up? That's good. Once you die, you will die. If you die, you will die."
"Bah!" The uncle gritted his teeth, "You're still holding on, why should I die?"
The old lady said quietly: "Boy, your condition is very bad. If there is no accident, you can hold on for three or five times at most."
The uncle's voice suddenly weakened. He sighed: "Come on, let's be honest, I haven't spoken in the past few years, why did you suddenly talk to that girl? Do you really think she has the ability to escape?"
"If you don't give up, you have to try. Old man Liao, don't you think so?"
After a while, an old man's voice sounded over there: "Last time you didn't speak, I thought you were going to die."
The old lady sneered: "That kid, I can't believe it."
"So what if you don't believe it?" The old man's voice was very indifferent, "A newcomer only arrives in a few years, do we have any other choice?"
"But that kid is dishonest."
"An honest man can't escape."
"So you don't like this girl?" The old woman was keenly aware of his emotions.
"I didn't say anything, just wait and see." After saying this, Old Man Liao stopped talking.
