"Hey, what you said about the master is true. The taste changes every day, and there are many requirements."
The speaker was a thin man with a pair of narrow eyes, who was complaining dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, okay."
Next to the man is a fat man with a round face, holding a red stone the size of a pebble in his hand. His eyes are looking around, mostly focusing on the woman.
"If you say a few words, the master will catch you, and you will suffer the consequences."
"You know these words, will you betray me?"
"Not always."
The thin man smiled and suddenly said: "How about we take the opportunity to run away one day?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
The round-faced fat man finally looked at him.
"I'm not talking nonsense."
The thin man lowered his voice: "I think what the master did was probably known to the superiors. Otherwise, how could the master hug Sun Ying's thigh and agree to visit the Queen Mother's tomb?"
The round-faced fat man fell silent immediately.
After a while, he sighed helplessly:
"It's not like you and I don't understand the master's methods. We can't fight him. How can we escape?"
"Just because you can't fight, doesn't mean you don't have a chance to escape."
The thin man said: "Exploring the tomb this time is a good opportunity. Zheng Qi will definitely have no time to worry about us."
The words just fell.
I saw a flash of brilliance flowing through the red stone in the hand of the fat man with a round face, emitting hot heat.
He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Found it."
"where?"
"follow me."
The two were so fast that the crowded crowd in front of them actually gave way to a clear path. After running through two streets, they soon saw their target, a girl wearing a coat and skirt with inverted sleeves.
.
"Virgin, look at this girl's figure and face, which meets the master's requirements."
"Is it just her?"
"OK!"
The two looked at each other, showing a surly smile, and raised their heels.
…
…
'Oh, wouldn't it be a good idea to leave without even saying a few words to Uncle Jiu and the others?'
Among the moving crowd, Cheng Lanlan slapped her hot face with her hand, and turned her head to look in the direction she came from with some regret. However, it was too late to regret at this time.
'We can't do this next time.'
Cheng Lanlan warned herself in her heart.
The battle just now really made her too nervous, especially because she was embarrassed in front of Uncle Jiu and the others, so she just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
'Let's go to Aunt Wang's shop first.'
After a while.
Cheng Lanlan frowned lightly, and looked back. There was a huge crowd, and faces intersected in her field of vision. She looked carefully, blinked, and walked forward again.
'Strange, why do I feel like someone is following me.'
During the next journey, this feeling of being spied on became more and more intense. Cheng Lanlan thought for a moment, quickened her pace and walked to a crowded place, glancing back from the corner of her eye from time to time.
Soon, the feeling of following me finally disappeared.
Cheng Lanlan raised her eyes and happened to see Aunt Wang standing at the door of the store with her back to her. She finally felt relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and immediately shouted:
"Aunt Wang..."
However, in just an instant, she felt like the world was spinning, and a heavy sleepiness suddenly rushed over her.
I vaguely heard a few words.
"This girl is quite alert."
"Didn't I tell you earlier, just do it directly?
"It takes a while."
"Hey!"
"You have to think carefully about what I told you."
The next second, his consciousness completely fell into darkness.
the other side.
Aunt Wang changed into simple clothes and tied a plum blossom apron around her waist. She suddenly turned her head and looked behind her, but saw that the crowd was scattered.
"Strange, I seemed to have heard Lan Lan's voice just now."
Thinking about it, she stood on tiptoes and took a look, but did not find a familiar figure. She secretly wondered: "Did I hear wrongly?"
Immediately he changed his mind and thought:
"Lan Lan should be dating Ah Hao now, I don't know how it is going?"
at this time.
"Boss, how do you sell this pastry?"
"I'm coming."
Aunt Wang came to her senses and walked into the store quickly.
…
…
'Where is this?'
Shaky and upside down vision.
Cheng Lanlan covered her forehead, feeling a splitting headache. She couldn't help but pat her head a few times, and her blurred vision gradually became clearer.
Look up and around.
It was a square prison, with only one oil lamp on the wall, and the candlelight flickered.
Suddenly, the wind blew in.
"ah!"
The candle flame suddenly flickered, and with the fleeting light, the entire prison came into view. Cheng Lanlan's pupils dilated, her heart tightened, and her back hit the wall hard.
It turns out there are four more people here.
Two unclothed old men, with sparse silver hair and skin sticking close to the bones, were lying on the ground, their cloudy eyes staring blankly above their heads;
a plump woman;
A girl about her own age;
They were huddled in the corner, their faces rosy but their expressions extremely haggard, in stark contrast to the two old men.
The atmosphere in the air is very depressing.
For a moment, Cheng Lanlan could only hear her own disordered breathing and pounding heartbeat.
'Who are they? Where am I?'
As time passed, the tension seemed to relax a little.
Cheng Lanlan plucked up her courage and cautiously approached the candlelight, instead of sinking her body into the darkness.
When she got close to the oil lamp, Cheng Lanlan gained some courage. At this time, she discovered that there were gaps between each stone brick, which should be used to ensure the circulation of air.
She squinted her eyes and looked outside through the gap.
There is an alchemy furnace placed in the distance, two feet high. The body of the furnace is engraved with the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. A crane is cast on the left and right ears, and raging fire rolls out of the furnace.
Apart from this, nothing else was discovered.
'What on earth is this place?'
unfamiliar environment,
people in the same room,
Cheng Lanlan finally chose to communicate with a girl of similar age to herself.
She approached slowly and cautiously.
"Hello, what is this place? Why are we here?"
The girl just hugged her knees and lowered her head without saying anything.
"Hello."
After waiting for a long time, there was still no response.
So, she could only ask women and old people.
But the result is the same.
Cheng Lanlan's eyes changed from fear, fear, hope, to final loss.
She began to scream for help, and after a lot of effort, she broke down and punched the stone wall with her fists, squatted under the oil lamp and curled up.
I do not know how long it has been.
There seemed to be footsteps approaching outside.

Cheng Lanlan was shocked to see the stone wall parting on its own, and a fat man with a round face in Taoist robes came in. He was holding a wooden plate in his hand and placed three bowls of fragrant rice.
"Come, let's eat."
A commanding tone.
Cheng Lanlan wanted to ask out loud.
But the round-faced fat man looked over with a flat look, as if he knew it in advance.
At this moment, Cheng Lanlan felt great fear crashing into her body and mind, as if she was falling into a bottomless abyss. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her lips trembled and she was speechless.
At this time, the round-faced fat man hooked his fingers, and a green rope rolled out from his fingertips. He roughly tied up the two old men and dragged them out.
boom!
The stone wall closed again.
"Hoo, ho, ho."
Cheng Lanlan pressed her face against the wall and turned her face sideways to look outside, with strong fear gradually creeping onto her face.
But I saw the round-faced fat man dragging the old man to the alchemy furnace. With a wave of his hand, the top of the furnace was opened. The two old men were thrown into the alchemy furnace by the rope. Fuzzy black shadows flashed in the raging fire!
After a while, there was no one in the distance.
It's just that Cheng Lanlan's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and she was almost on the verge of collapse.
Why?
Why does she appear here? Will she also end up being thrown into the alchemy furnace?
at this time.
"Eat quickly, you can't eat the rice when it's cold."
