When these girls were woken up by Hongyu, they were still sleepy with their eyes half-closed.
"Where are we going, aunt?" a little older girl rubbed her eyes and asked timidly.
In this place, they had been used to obeying orders for a long time, so they were not panicky even when they were woken up at midnight.
The more than twenty young girls gathered together in the yard. Obviously, they didn't expect their fate to change again this time because of others.
"Xiu, help Hongyu count their number and don't let anyone left behind. Except for the items they've brought, don't take other things away."
The residence was already empty. It was believed that apart from them, the rest were all corpses that couldn't talk.
Now she finally knew why the people in the mountain grove of the backyard of the Pavilion of Herbs had been able to disappear instantly.
The Candle Dragon Cult Zhu Yun had described defi
"Aren't you very capable and resourceful? If you would just beg me, perhaps I will let you go if what you say sounds good to me."Zhu Yan continued behaving arrogantly. He thought that maybe he would be able to relieve the pain of being abandoned by the shopkeeper by acting aggressively.Lin Mengya knitted her brows tightly. This guy must think that she was at a loss of what to do to him."Beg you? Is that all you can do? I think I might die even faster if I were to beg you. Forget about it, I'm going to look for Xiu. At the very least, she's much more useful than you."With a look of disdain on her face, Lin Mengya's mood changed completely and abruptly and Zhu Yan was taken aback.Seeing that she turned to leave without any hesitation, Zhu Yan, who was unhurried at first was now beginning to panic. He leaped forward and stood in front of Lin Mengya. He stretched out both his arms to block her."Stop! Don
After Lin Mengya saw the hesitation in Zhu Yan's eyes, her lips curled up into a bizarre, chilling smile.She stretched out her slender and delicate hand to go over the network of red veins on the stone slabs."Looks, these contain the blood of those girls. Can you imagine their immense grievances that even these stones had become spirits?"Lin Mengya spouted nonsense while keeping a straight face. The stone slabs had been constantly immersed in blood, so much so that the blood had infiltrated them.However, Zhu Yan was unaware of the reason. On top of that, he had witnessed the evil that was done here in the past. For the above reasons, he was gradually overcome by the fear of what Lin Mengya said."You... you... but I wasn't the one who killed them. If they were seeking vengeance, they should not be looking for me!"Unable to keep his composure, Zhu Yan retreated a step, shrunk back, and began to stutter
Shadow Slave had been hiding in the dark, so much so that Lin Mengya did not have a good look at his appearance.At the command of Ambassador White Dragon now, Shadow Slave slowed to a stop and stood under the light.Shadow Slave was a man of tall and sturdy stature. He appeared especially strong and fit in his black overall.However, when he lifted his hands, Lin Mengya could not help but quietly gasp in shock."If you wish to see me, Ambassador White Dragon, there's no need to take all the trouble. It's just that I don't like meeting strangers. Please speak your mind directly, Ambassador White Dragon."The two places where Shadow Slave's hands were supposed to be, were replaced by two black gold sharp knives.Even if Lin Mengya had only taken one glance, she knew that these two knives were so powerful that even the pure-steel door would not be able to withstand them.Instead of an early fall
Despite being very cautious, she caught the eyes of her enemies.Although the mechanisms were brutal, some vigilant men still managed to escape from the snares.Lin Mengya pressed up against the door. The still shaking hilt of the sword seemed to tell her that she might not be as lucky next time.The men in black, now covered in blood, glared at her with eyes like that of wild beasts.Instinctively, Lin Mengya had the urge to just up and run, however, the only way of escape was the exit right behind the group of men in black.Fortunately, her enemies were almost all injured and this would affect their accuracy and speed when they strike.This was why Lin Mengya was still able to go round in circles around the men in black.Nevertheless, despite the fading of the sounds coming from the activated mechanisms, the number of men in black who had infiltrated the front yard increased steadily.
"Nothing... I... I just felt... that I've let everyone down..."There was so much she wanted to say, but in that instant, Lin Mengya choked at her words and was unable to say anything.Her eyes became red, but she tried hard to keep the tears from falling down."Alas--- I'm not blaming you, don't be upset."Long Tianyu reached out his big hand and lightly caressed her forehead.In spite of feeling angry, Long Tianyu could not bring himself to vent it at this moment.Moreover, while he was a little upset with Lin Mengya, he was even more upset with himself for not being able to protect her.Now, seeing that she was about to cry, his anger vanished completely.All that was left was his tender love towards her, which he was too shy to express in words."It will be good if you remember this lesson. Just be careful from now on."Long Tianyu groaned inwardly. I
"Going back? Is the business regarding the Pavilion of Herbs settled?"Lin Mengya pondered for a moment before she raised the question."Yes, I suppose Zuo Qiuyu and Zuo Qiuchen will be able to handle the remaining matters."Long Tianyu reached out his hand to push her back into the blanket. It seemed that Zuo Qiuyu was right. It was easier to bring her out of there when she was asleep."How about Hongyu and the rest? Moreover, I need to find a place to settle them down before I leave, right?"Unable to stop worrying, Lin Mengya pressed on with her questioning and as a result, Long Tianyu did not know whether to cry or to laugh.Holding her tightly in his embrace, Long Tianyu answered every one of her questions patiently."They wanted to follow you. As for those who wished to go home, I've sent them home. Don't you worry anymore. Why don't you just take a good rest on the horse carriage? We ma
Lin Mengya fingered through the documents and realized that apart from letters that contained descriptions of the symptoms, there were some written prescriptions from the doctors in the areas affected by the pandemic.The prescriptions might not be useful, but from the drugs the physicians prescribed, she was able to make some educated guesses.The first few components of the prescription contain herbs that help detox and cool down the body.However, the components that came after included a drug called the Bone Transplant Flower.The name of this drug could be found in the music score for the green stringed instrument. Although it was not frequently used, it was one of the components of a prescription called "Marrow Cleansing Powder", which was commonly used to stimulate blood circulation and relax muscles and joints.The prescription was obviously meant to treat the pandemic, why should its efficacy be to stimulate b
Although they were still in the horse carriage, the wax-sealed letters were handed to her one after another because of Long Tianyu's instructions.Lin Mengya's eyebrows would always knit together every time she opened a yellow letter.Beautiful as she was, her beauty had been overshadowed by the many worries she had.Although Long Tianyu's heart ached for Lin Mengya, he knew that she was working so hard because she could sense something fishy regarding the pandemic situation."You must be tired; you should take a rest."From the night until daybreak, apart from the time she ate and slept, Lin Mengya had spent the entire time meticulously studying the situation at the affected areas.The more she understood the situation, the more she found it very strange in some ways.The special characteristics of the pandemic included being highly contagious and a high rate of infection. However, the chance
The wolves didn't come forward, but she heard the sound of leaves rubbing together.Looks like it was the head wolf.Lin Menya wasn't the least bit intimidated, but the head wolf's behavior was strange, it didn't make an attacking gesture.Instead"White!"The first rays of morning light blossomed and she saw the white pelt, hidden in the shadows.Heart racing, she embraced the huge figure that came hurtling at her.Unexpectedly, her little white, won!"You're really good, you came and singled out someone's boss, okay, a bit of my style!"The surprise made Lin Menya relax her entire body, but something wasn't quite right with Xiao Bai.After it plopped down on Lin Menya's body, it actually didn't move.Scared, she thought what was wrong and cleanly checked the wound for White.But what I didn't expect to hear first, was the little one's hoots and hollers.After half a day's messing around, Kohaku was exhau
"But, but we don't have silver, food and weapons, and how can we fight against those people with these 2,000 people and more?"Nie Qing stuttered a bit, he had been to the battlefield, naturally he knew that these things were not a matter of having many people."These, I have my own ways. But right now, it's a perfect time to sharpen. After dawn, the guards stationed inside and outside of Kanakura City will definitely search the mountain. If utilized properly, these two thousand or so people will become the heart of Jin Cang City. At that time, we'll eat away at these people's power little by little."An extremely large plan formed in her mind.Though she knew that there was no rush, right now, it was sort of the only way to house the two thousand or so people."You mean, let us occupy the mountain as king? That won't work, in case if the Wei people slow down and concentrate their forces on attacking us, how can we defend ourselves with just these two t
The one who spoke, was not very tall, and had only suffered a little because he was a prisoner of war.But in the end, after the army, baptized by war, the essence is still good.And, he's probably the superior of those five.The five men stood behind him out of habit, not saying a word.Lin Menya glanced at the man and couldn't help but light up.His eyes were clear and godly, with only the undaunted defiance of a soldier, without half the slipperiness and accidents of a soldier's oil, only a good soldier.The heart, too, is in the right place."In a while, let's go into the mountains and hide for a while first, with so many people, there's always a need for laws and rules. Since you've been in the army, I'd like to ask you to do these things, is that okay?"The man didn't realize that the GodEmperor was actually going to entrust him with such a thing.At once, the flame of grandeur in the man's heart was ignited.He looke
She quietly picked up the raw meat and practically crawled her way to the man's back, getting closer and closer to the man as she practically held her breath.Suddenly, the man turned his head around in a flash as if he had sensed something.Lin Mengya didn't care about anything else, the raw meat in her hand that was dipped in anesthetic, gagged the man's mouth at once.The man, shocked and angry, tries to escape.But she didn't know where the strength came from, both hands wrapped around the man's neck and tightly stuffed the large chunk of raw meat in the head of the man's mouth, refusing to part.The man, of course, was much stronger than she was, and only panicked for a moment before using his hand to tug at the flesh around his mouth.Lin Mengya was in a hurry and kneed the man in one of the acupoints on his waist.The blow was so steady and hard that the man lost a lot of strength at once, and her hand, never left the raw flesh.
Looking at the lock that was half a pound heavy, Gong Ping sighed.In fact, to this day, he didn't know who this fuss was really about.But looking at Missy's distraught look, he didn't dare to ask more.All I know is that what the lady is looking for is a large metal cage."Let's find it first, and be careful this time before someone sees us."Locked warehouses are usually guarded.This is the boundary of Kanakura Harbor, and those who are in charge of the patrol are also from Kanakura Harbor.These are the crew members who work on the ship and make their rounds on weekdays when they have nothing else to do.Lin Menya and Gong Ping dodged a group of people by virtue of their skinny bodies.But soon they were lost in the midst of dodging."How much longer do we have to look, miss?"The two crouched in the corner, Lin Moya's eyes, tightly focused on a crew that had just disappeared.Just now, they were so close t
If the nominal Gong Ya was still here, then she could have arrogantly and incomparably fought the auction with the intention of competing with the other party.But on the contrary, she couldn't easily reveal her identity.If one Lin Mengmai wasn't enough of a warning, then adding another Zhu Yan made the problem much more obvious.Lin Mengya was also thinking of a countermeasure, if it really didn't work, she would repeat her trick and use the same trick that Bai Su had used earlier to muddle through.But now that she was unprepared, it would be bad to reveal anything instead.However, the bidding didn't quite end there.Once they heard the Mu family bidding, the general public wouldn't dare to follow them.But there were still one or two, who felt that the teenager and the beast were strange, and had the guts to call for a price.Soon, the price climbed to six thousand taels.Those few families had subsided, the expensive price
But the third auction, however, made every Gong family member's heart feel a bit clogged.Because on the list, there were three dozen people from the Gong family that were being auctioned off as house slaves.Those people are the deepest hidden scars of the Gong family.From the moment the five sons of the Gong family entered, the atmosphere was, well, somewhat oppressive."My lord, the people sent by the lady have arrived."Gong Yang was still guarding the outside, but he led in a boy who was dressed, all ordinary."You go down."Gong Si waved his hand, allowing Gong Yang to leave.Turning, he asked in a low voice."What did Missy tell you to pass on?"The boy hung his head low, but pursed his lips and smiled."Missy said to spend the silver as she pleases and smash whoever she sees as disagreeable."Gong Si smiled along with him, but reached out and pulled the boy in front of a few other brothers."See,
"Hiss, why are you guys so heavy handed, trying to strangle me? Get out!"Lin Mengya yelled at the two female slaves in disgust, and the two immediately fell to their knees, trembling."Who are you playing pathetic and condescending like that for? If it weren't for me, you'd probably be dead!"She continued to curse, and Gong Si just couldn't stand it and ordered them to be taken out."Miyaya, how could you?""Why can't I be like this? Don't forget who's the head of the family!"Before the two slave girls went out, they heard an argument coming from inside.As slaves, they had to hang their heads lower to save themselves from the waves.How could the two of them know that since they went out, the atmosphere in the box had changed all of a sudden."Go on, keep an eye on them."Gong Si casually beckoned an attendant and softly commanded, the place where his line of sight fell, right where it should be, was the direction where
"I'm used to being at home. I went out in a hurry this time and didn't bring a few satisfactory maids with me. I see that on the list for today's auction, there are female slaves trained by the Rong family. I would like to ask Mr. Lu to ask for a few in advance, do you think it's okay?"Though she played it in the name of consultation, her tone was unquestionable.Lu Feng hesitated slightly, and she immediately pulled a face."I have let you earn a lot of silver, right, so a little request can not be done, you this business ah, do not often."She was not polite in the slightest, and her voice was not small enough to be heard by anyone around her.Gongbin frowned, not the least bit displeased that she was being so capricious.He was just about to open his mouth, but he was pulled back by Gong San."Big brother, little sister is a girl after all, delicate and weak, she should also find someone to serve her. How about this, Mr. Lu, these female
