"We were captured by a group of evil people outside the city." Lu Yunyou slowly stepped back a little distance and finally saw the face opposite him clearly. From the appearance, the person he was talking to seemed to have been arrested for some time. , looks sloppy, but doesn’t look very old.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be the first time for you two to come to Dragon City." After meeting Lu Yunyou, the man immediately expressed his inference.
"How do you know?" Before he could ask the other party for details, the other party had already seen their situation. For a moment, Lu Yunyou was extremely surprised.
"My name is Jun Wucheng, and it's my first time to come to Dilong City. I didn't expect to be caught here just because of a meal. If I had known that Dilong City was such a place, I wouldn't have come here to make a living. "With a bitter sigh, Jun Wucheng explained the reason directly.
In the final analysis, there was no difference in the reasons why he and Lu Yunyou were caught here. They were both new arrivals.
"So that's it." Thinking of what happened to Zhang Rende and his sister, Lu Yunyou immediately understood why Jun Wucheng was here.
"We'll talk about it later." Just when Lu Yunyou wanted to ask when Jun Wucheng was arrested, a guard came over with a baggage and threw it directly into the cell through the gap between the bars. After throwing it, he rushed three times impatiently. Someone yelled: "There is something to eat in there. If you want to avoid starving to death, eat it quickly."
After leaving a word, the guard quickly turned around and left, not wanting to stay for a moment longer.
The next moment, a scent wafted out from the baggage on the ground. For a while, even the original smell in the dungeon was covered up, so that Lu Yunyou directly ignored Jun Wucheng's presence, turned around and walked directly towards the baggage on the ground. .
When he picked up the bag and opened it, he saw that it was full of white steamed buns. They looked like they had just come out of the pan and were still steaming. The fragrant smell immediately made Lu Yunyou salivate.
"Ling Yun, please check to see if there is anything wrong with the steamed buns first." Recalling that someone would check the food when they ate before, Lu Yunyou was impatient and quickly brought the open bag in front of Ling Yun.
A burst of aroma hit him, and Ling Yun couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. He then pulled out a slender silver needle from his clothes and inserted it into several steamed buns. Looking at it under the dim light, he saw that the silver needle had no color at all. Unchanged.
"It's not poisonous." After checking several in a row without finding any problems, Ling Yun no longer planned to check the remaining ones.
"There are loose tendons in the steamed buns, which are invisible and colorless. You can't detect them with ordinary silver needles. The more you eat, the more your energy will be lost. You'd better eat less," the two of them looked impatient. , Jun Wucheng had to remind him from the side, because he had eaten that kind of steamed buns when he came here, and he was very aware of the problem with the steamed buns.
"What should we do?" Seeing Jun Wucheng saying that the steamed buns were poisonous, Lu Yunyou, who had already brought the steamed buns to his mouth, immediately stopped what he was doing, and then looked at Jun Wucheng with a look of surprise.
At the same time, Ling Yun also stopped his movements because he was very familiar with the words "Ruanjin Powder". This is a kind of poison that can make a martial artist weak. It is invisible and colorless, and it is generally difficult to detect it with a silver needle. , Unless you try it yourself, thinking like this, Ling Yun also cast a questioning look at Jun Wucheng.
"Ruanjin Powder can paralyze a martial artist's muscles, veins, blood, and flesh, making it difficult for a martial artist to accumulate strength. After eating too much, you can't even achieve luck. If you don't want to feel weak, eat less." Thinking about it, the two of them must be hungry. For a long time, they had to eat morning and night, so Jun Wucheng directly advised the two of them to eat less.
"Can these steamed buns be eaten?" After hearing Jun Wucheng's explanation, Lu Yunyou immediately remembered the poisoning of Fang Ting and others that night. Regardless of whether Ruanjin Powder was different from the poison used by Ye Long and others at that time, He still wanted to confirm with Jun Wucheng.
"There won't be any big problem if you eat less. At most, it's just that you can't do your exercises. There's no problem with walking normally like me." Jun Wucheng sighed and said helplessly: "You'd better eat a little to fill your stomach first. , I have to eat it sooner or later anyway.”
Thinking about the situation in the prison, Jun Wucheng explained directly: "If you can't finish eating the steamed buns within two days, you will be beaten severely by them, and after being beaten by them, you will still be forced to swallow a bowl of poison mixed with Ruanjinsan." You can't escape the water sooner or later, so you just have to figure it out yourself."
The tone was quite helpless. Jun Wuchen didn't want to tell the two of them this fact so soon, but he thought it would be better to let them know earlier.
On the other side, after listening to Jun Wucheng's story, Lu Yunyou has completely realized the fact that they have to eat steamed buns sooner or later, and steamed buns are edible, but the more they eat, the greater the impact on people.
The original feeling of worry was relieved. As soon as he turned around, he directly asked Ling Yun next to him: "Do you want to eat?"
As long as Ling Yun nodded, he would choose to fill his stomach first without hesitation.
Facing Lu Yunyou's inquiry, Ling Yun looked embarrassed. He would starve if he didn't eat, and it would be bad for his health if he ate. Out of his trust in Jun Wucheng, he really wanted to endure it, but then he thought about it, they couldn't survive either. Starving to death in the cell, he changed his mind.
"Eat," he let out a long breath, watching the two people grinding and making no move. Thinking of the fact that they would have to eat sooner or later, Jun Wucheng on the side took out a piece of steamed bun from his bag and took a big bite. Chew it up.
"Eat." Without thinking about it, Lu Yunyou was so hungry that he couldn't wait any longer. Before Ling Yun could answer, he directly put a steamed bun into his mouth and started chewing it.
While eating, they were thinking about the current situation. Now they were trapped in the cell and couldn't do anything. If they could escape, why would there be so many prisoners in the cell? Think about the cell they were escorted to just now. At that time, there were guards every ten steps, and there were many fifth-level martial arts cultivators among them. He felt more and more that there was no hope for them to escape, so he simply sat on the ground while eating.
"Brother Jun, how long have you been captured here by them?" Sitting on the dirty ground, Lu Yunyou seemed to have changed, and he had no intention of worrying about the current situation.
"It didn't take long, just one day."
"Do you know if you can escape from here?" With nothing to do, Lu Yunyou wanted to learn more about the situation from Jun Wucheng.
"The guards here are stricter than anywhere else. Even if I give you wings, you won't be able to fly out." Without thinking, Jun Wucheng gave Lu Yunyou a definite answer.
At the same time, Ling Yun on the side saw that Lu Yunyou no longer cared about whether there was anything wrong with the steamed buns and kept eating. He didn't want to continue to embarrass himself, so he took out a steamed bun and ate it. While eating, he chatted with Jun Wucheng. , no guard came to disturb them.
After a while, the two learned some new information from Jun Wucheng. Generally, martial arts cultivators would only be imprisoned for three days at most. Regardless of whether they had eaten the steamed buns at that time, they would be sent out in the end. The result is the same whether you eat the steamed buns in one day or several days.
The cell was completely empty except for a pile of hay and a toilet. If someone dared to hide the steamed buns in a pile of hay or throw them into a cesspool, they would be beaten severely after being discovered, or they would be forced to use the toilet. After eating all the feces in it, no one who knows the rules dares to play tricks.
People like Lu Yunyou and others who have just come in, if no one reminds them, will definitely think that steamed buns are normal food, and they will finish the food naturally in about three days. When the guards come to check on the fourth day, the two of them will Taken away by those people.
People with ordinary strength like them will naturally be sent to hard labor. Of course, some people will be sent to other places. In short, they can't help choosing the outcome.
Through the method of question and answer, Lu Yunyou and Ling Yun learned more and more information, and even learned what kind of situation the female martial arts practitioners in the prison would face. In short, there was no situation they could accept.
"Brother Jun, will you die if you work as a hard laborer?" Lu Yunyou couldn't keep calm under the violent fluctuations in his mind. He remembered that Ling Yun had said that they would be arrested for hard labor, and he asked Jun Wucheng for advice on what it was like to be a hard laborer. Something happened.
"We won't die, but we will be worse than dead. When we are sent to the mine, not only will we completely lose our personal freedom, but we will never have the possibility of escaping," Jun Wucheng looked frightened. He did not dare to think about the situation at that time. .
In fact, the situation is more serious than Jun Wucheng said. Once they are sent to do hard labor, they will not only lose their personal freedom, but also may lose their lives at any time. Those black mines are looking down on human life and will not regard them as human beings at all. They are treated as human beings, and once they get there, they will all be reduced to emotionless tools, and the end of hard labor will be even more miserable than being a sharecropper for generations.
Just hearing the tone of Jun Wucheng's words made Lu Yunyou shudder. If the situation in the mine was really as bad as Jun Wucheng said, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to be enslaved for the rest of his life.
