On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2014 Woman

The firelight gradually dimmed, and Su Shengsheng finally recovered. He walked to the silver ingot and whispered, "Thank you for what you did just now."

She had said before that she would protect the silver ingot, but in the end she was saved by the silver ingot. She felt a little embarrassed just thinking about it.

Yin Ding didn't look at her, his eyes still fixed on the darkness around him, and his tone was flat: "Don't be distracted next time."

Although the men in black have retreated temporarily, who knows if there will be another ambush, so they cannot let their guard down now.

Yan Ruyu walked over and looked at the ashes on the ground, frowning slightly. "The man in black just now must be the same group as the previous ones. They always like to use fireball beads and their whereabouts are secretive. I'm afraid their sudden attack on us this time is not just for assassination."

She always felt that there was a deeper conspiracy behind this matter, especially the fireball bead, which was usually only used when dealing with important targets and had to kill the other party.

Su Shengsheng scratched his head and asked in confusion: "What sect are they from? Why haven't I seen them before?"

Yin Ding glanced at her and said, "It's normal that you don't know what's going on in the martial arts world."

Su Shengsheng's eyes widened, but she had no way to refute it - she really had never been in the underworld.

Yan Ruyu explained, "They rarely show up in the martial arts world, but they are ruthless and like to use all kinds of hidden weapons and poisons, making them very difficult to deal with. Even though the man in black just ran away, he will definitely come again. We must be extremely careful."

Yin Ding nodded: "Yes."

In the study.

Zhou Lie ultimately failed to withstand Huo Changhe's interrogation.

"It's under that box, in the mezzanine."

Huo Changhe didn't let go of the sword: "What is that thing?"

The white fur ball looked at him with red eyes.

"That's snow mud, the king of all poisons," Zhou Lie whispered.

This thing is so precious. It seems that it will be lost today.

Huo Changhe originally wanted to kill him with a sword, but when he heard him say "King of All Poisons", he thought that Yan Ruyu would like it.

He took out a small bag and a material tool and threw them to his secret guard.

"Grasp."

Although the little thing is poisonous, it relies on surprise attack to attack people. It is helpless when it meets masters like them.

The ball of fur was put into the bag and suddenly stopped moving.

The secret guard was startled: "I didn't use much strength."

Could it be that it is so fragile that it can be crushed to death without any force?

Huo Changhe looked at Zhou Lie, and Zhou Lie quickly explained: "It's not dead, it's just comatose. It just bit someone and drank blood, so it fell asleep."

The secret guard breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Changhe asked again: "If you open the box, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Lie hesitated for a moment, and Huo Changhe's sword moved forward again.

He was in so much pain that he had to tell the truth.

"There's a switch over there. Turn it on and an underground passage will appear."

According to the plan, Huo Changhe was worried about a trap and asked him to open the tunnel himself. He took the opportunity to open the tunnel, jumped in, and then closed the door from the bottom, so that he could leave smoothly through the tunnel.

Although the island is not particularly big, he is familiar with every place. Even if the map falls into Huo Changhe's hands, it will not be difficult for him to find a hiding place.

But who knew that Huo Changhe was so cautious and alert, and could see through his thoughts at a glance.

Huo Changhe sneered, and as he said, an underground secret passage was indeed opened.

"Go down and have a look."

Zhou Lie was being held by Huo Changhe's men, the wound on his shoulder still bleeding. He looked at the topographic map in Huo Changhe's hand, his eyes full of unwillingness, yet helplessness.

Huo Changhe put away the topographic map, glanced at Zhou Lie, and sneered: "Do you think you can trick me with this little trick? You are so naive."

He said to his men, "Take him away and keep a close eye on him. Don't let him get away."

Yan Ruyu held the sword in her hand and walked towards the open door.

With his fingertips resting on the door panel, he exchanged glances with the silver ingot beside him, and the two of them pushed the door open together.

In the dark corner behind the door, two women were huddled together, their clothes torn to pieces and their hair tangled and stuck to their pale faces.

When the daylight came in, they all raised their hands to block their eyes. Their thin arms trembled, and the eyes that appeared between their fingers were full of timidity, obviously they had stayed in the dark for too long.

Yan Ruyu's eyes swept over them, but she didn't see any wounds. However, the two people leaning against the wall looked so weak that even their breathing was so light that it seemed like they were about to float away.

She turned around and called out "Shengsheng" outside the yard, her voice steady and calm: "Come here, help Yinding and help him get into the yard, be gentle."

As soon as Su Shengsheng responded, he quickly followed Yinding forward.

Yinding squatted down and stretched out his hand for the woman to hold on to his arm. The woman gathered some strength and slowly stood up.

Su Shengsheng supported the other one, and seeing that the other person's legs were too weak to stand, he simply half-supported and half-helped him walk out.

Mu Wan, who had been hiding, saw this and quickly ran over clutching a handkerchief. When he saw the two of them, his eyes widened. He dropped his handkerchief on the ground but didn't even pick it up. He rushed forward and asked, "What... why are you here?"

She reached out to support the woman walking behind her. When she felt her cold arm, her brows immediately furrowed. "Go sit under the shade of the tree and observe carefully."

After the two of them sat down on the stone bench, Yan Ruyu walked over to Mu Wan and asked softly, "Do you know them?"

Mu Wan nodded, her voice still trembling slightly, her eyes fixed on the two women: "When we were imprisoned together before, we were in the same room. But back then, everyone was only known by their numbers, and no one dared to mention their names."

She pointed to the woman on her left: "She was number seven. She always secretly shared some of her rations with me back then."

Pointing to the right, he said, "This is number nine. One time, a guard pushed me, but she stopped him."

When Number Seven heard the word "Number Seven", he raised his head slightly and looked at Mu Wan.

Mu Wan met her gaze and grabbed her hand.

"Do you remember me? I'm number six."

Woman No. 7 moved her lips for a long time before she squeezed out a very light "remember".

Mu Wan hurried over and softened her voice, "I'm here. It's safe now. Don't be afraid."

Number Nine didn't say anything, just stared at the sunlight in the yard, his fingers slightly curled up.

Yinding handed her a bowl of water. She hesitated for a moment, but still took it and drank it in small sips. The bones in her wrist were clearly visible.

Su Shengsheng watched from the side and couldn't help asking, "Are there any other people in other places? Are you the only ones there?"

Before Mu Wan could speak, Number Seven shook his head, his voice still weak: "There are... there are others, but later..."

She started to breathe heavily in the middle of her words. Mu Wan quickly patted her back and helped her tidy up the loose hair on her forehead, his actions full of familiar tenderness.

Number Seven took a deep breath, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Su Shengsheng suppressed his anxiety and asked, "What happened next?"
