Chapter 127 The Imprisoned
Chapter 127 The Imprisoned
Meng Jingchen held his forehead and smiled bitterly. Jiang Tunan was really something. He thought Jiang Tunan was as boring as other young ladies from aristocratic families.
It turns out that he just dislikes that he smells bad.
Ok.
Why is she so disgusted? How dare she?!
"Sister Jiang, I'm hungry."
Xiao Wu said weakly that his stomach had been rumbling for a while. Of course, it was not because he was greedy, he was just afraid that his rumbling stomach would disturb everyone's rest.
He does this for everyone's good.
Chunhua lowered her head silently beside her, but in fact she had been hungry for a long time.
Su Xiaoxiao covered her stomach somewhat embarrassedly. She had been locked up here since yesterday and had not had anything to eat during this time. She was already hungry.
"Wait, I'll see if there's anything to eat."
Meng Jingchen looked Jiang Tunan up and down. At this moment, Jiang Tunan's clothes were a little messy, and there were several holes in some places.
Meng Jingchen couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Jiang Tunan was also bombed?
"Where are you going to look? The whole dungeon is in full view, and there doesn't look like there's anything to eat."
Jiang Tunan glanced at Meng Jingchen with disdain.
"Young man, a strong man never complains about his environment."
Then, under the gaze of Meng Jingchen, Jiang Tunan slipped out through the gap in the railings.
Meng Jingchen:?
Just now, Xiao Mingrui had hidden the bag of things she had looted in a dark corner. The good thing about being in the cave was that it was pitch black everywhere and it was difficult for a big ghost to find it.
"Sister Jiang, I'll help you find it!"
Xiao Wu ran over, skipping and jumping, and followed Jiang Tunan's example to get out of the dungeon.
Meng Jingchen: ???
"No, don't you have anyone to take care of her?"
Chunhua rested Yu Niang's head on her thighs, Su Xiaoxiao hugged herself tightly, and did not want to answer Meng Jingchen, while Ziwen shook his head in confusion.
In the end, Mu Wuhuan was the only one left and could only smile awkwardly at Meng Jingchen.
Jiang Tunan and Xiao Wu rummaged through the packages for a long time but didn't find any food. Jiang Tunan was just picking up things without paying attention, so she didn't know what was in the packages.
"I found traces of cooking over there before. There must be food in this cave."
Jiang Tunan stood up and sent Xiao Wu back to the dungeon.
"I'll go over there and take a look. You guys wait here for me."
"You are crazy!"
Mu Wuhuan grabbed the railing and shouted to Jiang Tunan outside the dungeon,
"You saw it just now. The big Yin people are back. If you go out now, aren't you looking for death?"
"They are all having a meeting at the cave entrance now. I'll be back soon."
Jiang Tunan remembered that the place was not far from here. If the people from Daxing and Dayin started fighting, it would be even worse if the people in the dungeon were too hungry to escape.
After saying that, Jiang Tunan left the dungeon. This time, she left signals along the way in case she couldn't find the way back.
Meng Jingchen remained silent from beginning to end, just watching Jiang Tunan's actions silently. He seemed to have gotten to know Jiang Tunan all over again today.
Because he had walked there before, Jiang Tunan quickly found the place with traces of fire. Jiang Tunan tried to feel around and found a cave leading downwards at a corner.
Jiang Tunan sighed, wondering how long it must have taken the Japanese devils to dig out such a complex network of holes.
Jiang Tunan walked down along the wall, and soon he saw the light.
The room downstairs seemed very spacious. The first thing Jiang Tunan saw was rows of shelves filled with rice, sweet potatoes and other food.
Jiang Tunan quickly put a few sesame cakes and a few steamed buns into his arms.
Suddenly, a faint voice seemed to be heard from somewhere in the room. Jiang Tunan was startled and quickly hid behind a shelf.
But Jiang Tunan waited for a long time but no one came, and from the voice, it seemed that the person who was speaking was not the big Yin man.
Jiang Tunan followed the sound to a wall and found a secret door. Jiang Tunan gently pushed the door open a little and looked behind it. He saw another room behind the door, but it was brighter than the one he was in.
What’s strange is that there’s no one in the room behind the door, so where is the voice coming from?
Jiang Tunan slipped into the room behind the door with a nervous mood, looked around carefully, and saw many books and silver needles in the room.
Jiang Tunan picked up a few books and opened them. Then he realized that these were medical books about acupuncture teaching.
The big yin man is secretly hiding here to learn acupuncture.
The Dayin people first dug many holes here, and then collected many medical books on acupuncture from Daxing to study here.
Now, many people have been sent to capture Xiao Wu and Yu Niang, hoping to obtain the secret manual of the Nine Needles of Rejuvenation. The big yin man must be preparing for something.
The only thing Jiang Tunan knew about the relationship between the Nine Yang Needles and the Big Yin Man was the war several decades ago. It was said that when Doctor Wen had not yet developed an antidote, he used the Nine Yang Needles to save some people.
The Nine Needles of Rejuvenation had been lost before, and the only clues were in Yu Niang and Xiao Wu. If the big Yin man took the Nine Needles of Rejuvenation away now, then Daxing would lose the Nine Needles of Rejuvenation completely.
So the Big Yin’s goal is to start a war again?
In the dream, the reason why Dayin and Daxing started the war was that Liangchuan Zemu died in Daxing, but now Wen Yinzhi has found a way to cure Liangchuan Zemu, and Sakai Taro has also been exposed. Logically, Liangchuan Zemu will not die any earlier.
Jiang Tunan felt a little uneasy. Perhaps Dayin had already started preparing for the war a long time ago. Even if Liangchuan Zemu had not died, Dayin would have found another excuse.
Jiang Tunan thought that after returning to the Xiao Mansion this time, he must explain the situation here to Xiao Huaimin. If Dayin really has ill intentions, Daxing must be prepared in advance.
Just when Jiang Tunan turned around and wanted to go back, she heard the faint voices again, so Jiang Tunan looked around for the source of the sound, and then found a secret door behind a map of human acupuncture points.
Jiang Tunan: The Japanese devils are putting this nesting doll.
Jiang Tunan also opened a small gap and then quietly moved in. She was looking through the gap to see behind the secret door, but she unexpectedly met more than a dozen pairs of eyes.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Tunan did not answer because she was so shocked by the scene that she was speechless.
There was a huge cage in the middle of the room behind the secret door, with more than a dozen men locked in the cage. The youngest of these men looked to be in his early twenties, and the oldest, the old man who had just spoken to Jiang Tunan, already had white hair.
"Are you from Daxing?"
Some of the people in the cages were lying on the ground, looking like they were dying, while others were sitting decadently on the edge of the cage, with their hands hanging down abnormally.
"You are from Daxing too? Were you also deceived by the Dayin people? That shouldn't be the case. They should just look for a doctor. Could it be that you are also a doctor?"
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Tunan's mind was a little confused, and at this moment a very ridiculous idea came to her mind.
