"Me - mother? Are you here too? It's so great!" Xiao Longbao's crying stopped abruptly, and he threw himself into Mu Xuanyi's arms and stopped wailing.
"If I wasn't here, how would I know what you said about me to the outside world? Do you regard me as a big enemy?" Mu Xuanyi pinched her round cheeks.
"No, hey, I'm begging for mercy. If they don't hurt me, wouldn't you be happy, mother?" After Xiao Longbao knew that Mu Xuanyi was there, he wasn't afraid at all and even started to giggle.
.
The last time she was captured, Mu Xuanyi gave her a strict training and told her to put her own safety as the top priority at all times. Xiaolong Bao obviously took it to heart.
Mu Xuanyi sighed. The person opposite him had already woken up. His eyes fell on the two of them, which Mu Xuanyi could not ignore at all.
The surroundings were really too dark, so Mu Xuanyi called Xiao Longbao aside. After a while of negotiation, she successfully obtained a torch and illuminated the surroundings of the cell.
"Don't forget my candied haws!" Xiaolongbao curled his lips when he saw this little light and reminded Mu Xuanyi.
Mu Xuanyi nodded: "I know, I won't miss you."
She held up the torch and looked across.
The person tied up opposite was a thin man. Half of his body was soaked in the water. There were a lot of water drops on his cheeks. Even the prison uniform on his body was soaked through and tightly.
It sticks to the body and outlines a good figure.
Eight-pack abs, mermaid lines... Mu Xuanyi looked further and further down, but unfortunately it was blocked by the water and she couldn't see clearly.
Mu Xuanyi clicked her tongue, and the man on the other side was also looking at her at this time. He was very surprised that she easily made a torch, and his eyes towards her were a little more searching.
"Hey, do you want to go out?" Mu Xuanyi looked around and saw that the cells were all empty. Currently, she only had one inmate, the man opposite.
The man glanced at her and didn't answer.
"You must want to go out. No one can stay in this kind of ghost place. I know that I want to leave this place as soon as possible." Mu Xuanyi nodded to himself, asking and answering questions.
The man said nothing. He was always conscious, and of course he knew when the woman opposite was sent in - less than an hour later.
"Is someone watching over us?" Mu Xuanyi gestured.
The cell where she and Xiao Longbao were imprisoned was made of wood, and the air was so humid that it was very slippery to the touch, with moss growing on it. It shouldn't take much effort to split it open.
"They are all outside." The man spoke for the first time. His voice was a bit hoarse, but it was inexplicably pleasant to the ear. It could make one's ears pregnant.
Mu Xuanyi raised his eyebrows: "Then will they come in? It's so dark here, don't they even have a light?"
Even if it is a prison cell, shouldn't it be possible to be happy by watching others being tortured by yourself? What does it mean to send people in and then throw them aside without asking?
She didn't understand the reason why the person behind it did this. Anyway, if it were her, she definitely wouldn't...
"They don't care about the people they send in. They only throw in a few steamed buns that are about to go moldy every other day." The man continued.
He seems to have been locked up here for a long time and has long been accustomed to the life here. He doesn't feel any humiliation when he talks about it, but feels numb.
I don’t know why, but the man always felt that after he said that the other party would not give him food, the mother and daughter opposite him looked accusatory.
"This is unreasonable! They are all treated as prisoners, and they don't even give them anything to stutter! They are really going too far!"
Sure enough, Mu Xuanyi clenched his fists and said angrily.
The corner of the man's mouth twitched. Is this the point?
"How about we cooperate? Let's fight out of here together, what do you think?"
Being imprisoned here would not be unbearable, but it was unbearable that they refused to give me food! Mu Xuanyi immediately prepared to leave here as soon as possible.
The man lowered his head: "They used an iron chain to pierce my lute bone. I can't get out by myself, and you may not be able to break it open."
"It's hard to say," Mu Xuanyi said mysteriously, "If you don't try it, how do you know it won't work?"
"The iron chains are very strong. Let alone you, even ten women like you may not be able to succeed. Besides, those iron chains are still under the water. So much water has accumulated. You want to break them in the water.
It's even more difficult to open it." The man didn't have any hope, but it was just that he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, so he responded to Mu Xuanyi's words.
Even in a cell, it would be a pleasure for him to see someone new.
"Is that so? That is indeed a bit difficult."
Mu Xuanyi saw that there was a bed in his cell, so he directly put Xiao Long Bao on it. He sat next to it and held Xiao Long Bao's hand.
In such a strange environment, if Xiaolongbao hadn't held Mu Xuanyi's hand tightly, she wouldn't have been able to sleep at all. She felt very insecure and was often afraid that Mu Xuanyi would abandon her.
The man stopped talking, and Mu Xuanyi put out the torch and sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about a solution. But before she could think of a reason, her stomach began to growl.
Hungry. Mu Xuanyi covered her stomach, and the man opposite took the initiative to speak: "I came here to deliver steamed buns yesterday, and the next time should be tomorrow."
"I won't eat that!" If she were to eat moldy steamed buns, it would be better to let her die because she couldn't eat them.
The man didn't answer. In his opinion, Mu Xuanyi just came in and was a bit arrogant. He should know it after she stays here for a week.
But it is said that women's emotions are more complex. Would she commit suicide in this situation? It is indeed a pity that such a beautiful woman would leave her life here.
He rarely thinks about so many issues anymore. The woman opposite does add a bit of interest to his boring life, but that's all.
"I want to eat!" Mu Xuanyi stood up suddenly. She couldn't sit still and wait for death. She must find a way to get out!
I don't know if her voice was too loud, but not long after Mu Xuanyi finished saying this, there were footsteps at the end of the corridor.
The man was also a little surprised: "They are coming."
They would not have come so quickly in the past. Could it be because of her today? His eyesight was better and he could see the woman standing at the door of the cell.
Mu Xuanyi also became quiet, holding her breath as she listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and at the same time there was a faint light.
When they came to check the ward, they actually used torches!
