Wei Qingyan's wrists were tied behind his back and he was trapped on a simple wooden board.
This was a dark room with a cold and damp environment. Wei Qingyan guessed it was underground.
The furnishings of the darkroom are simple, with four beds placed in the four corners of the southeast, northwest, and a large iron pillar in the center of the room, with four thick iron chains extending from the iron pillar.
The other end of one of the chains was on Wei Qingyan's right ankle, and the other three were casually thrown to the ground.
It should be used to lock the three beds, but currently the three beds are empty.
But Wei Qingyan guessed that people would come to those three beds soon, because she heard chaotic footsteps coming this way.
Her eyes glanced at her ankles, and she closed her eyes and leaned on the bed.
The door of the room was opened, and a stout man walked in first. He glanced at Wei Qingyan and said to the person behind him, "Why are you still awake? Have you taken too much medicine?"
The second person who came in was an old woman. She responded, "No, it's just a normal dosage. The master is in a hurry to get good products. It's not easy to find a good one. How dare I use more medicine and ruin the master's business."
He said this, but felt a little unsure in his heart. He walked towards Wei Qingyan and muttered, "Are you pretending to be faint?"
As he spoke, he reached out to lift Wei Qingyan's eyelids.
Wei Qingyan didn't want to be touched by her and opened his eyes, "Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"
The old woman was startled by her and glared at her fiercely, "I'm just pretending, little bitch, if you dare to play tricks on me, I won't spare you if you turn around."
"Okay, let's lock the goods first. Are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with her when the time comes?" The strong man stopped the old woman and looked at Wei Qingyan with lustful eyes.
Wei Qingyan pretended to be scared, lowered his eyes, and shrank back, "Who are you?"
From the corner of his eye, he looked at the three people following the strong man.
One woman and two men.
They all had their wrists tied like her.
The three of them looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and they let a short man hold the rope around their wrists with dull expressions, as if they were leading animals.
The old woman listened to the strong man's words and took the rope that tied the woman from the short man's hand with an unhappy look on her face.
He pulled the person to the bedside, pressed the woman to lie on the bed, and then locked the iron chain on the ground around the woman's ankle.
The strong man and the short man did the same, locking the two men on the bed.
Then the three of them left the house.
Before Wei Qingyan had time to ask the three people for questioning, there were footsteps again. It was the same old woman from before, but this time she was holding a wooden bucket in her hand.
The wooden bucket is full of clean water.
The old woman pointed to the wooden bucket and said, "Drink this bucket of water before midnight tonight, otherwise don't blame us for being rude to you."
"Why do you need water? I want to eat?" Wei Qingyan protested, "No matter what you are going to do, give me a full meal first. I haven't eaten for two days."
That day when I was looking for Yan Qing in the mountains, I made a deal with the Earthbound Spirit Shi Chengze.
It found Yan Qing for her, and she avenged it.
The person who harmed him was his stepmother, Princess Yu.
Then King Rong ordered people to keep an eye on Prince Yu's Mansion and found that Princess Yu would visit this village in ten days and a half.
But to the outside world, they say they go to the temple to worship Buddha.
By coincidence, Du Xueyi's people stared at the Liu Mansion and discovered that the Liu Mansion also had a Zhuangzi, which was next door to Princess Yu's Zhuangzi, and Liu He's brother and sister-in-law also came to the Zhuangzi from time to time.
The secret guards from Prince Rong's Mansion and Anyuan Hou's Mansion secretly searched the two villages and found nothing out of the ordinary.
Wei Qingyan then pretended to come from out of town to visit relatives in the capital. On the way, his money was robbed. He was very hungry. He passed by Princess Yu's Zhuangzi and wanted to beg for food.
The person who received her was the old woman in front of her.
At that time, she brought Wei Qingyan a bowl of noodles and said kindly, "I'm sorry, I don't know how much I have suffered. Eat it quickly."
As soon as Wei Qingyan took a bite, he was knocked unconscious by the medicine in the noodles and came here.
At the moment, the old woman looked at Wei Qingyan's extremely hungry look and sneered, "Drink whatever you want. If you want to eat, you will get it in your dreams."
Thinking of something, he warned again, "This water and gold are very expensive. If you dare to waste it, you will be eaten alive by wild dogs."
"I drank too much water, what should I do if I need to go to the toilet?" Wei Qingyan replied again.
The old woman looked at her like she was a fool and left the house with her chin high.
Wei Qingyan waited for a moment, and when no one came over, he looked at the woman on the bed opposite, "Are you okay?"
No one answered.
She asked again, "Where is this? What are they trying to do with us? How can we escape?"
Still no one said anything.
Wei Qingyan raised his right foot and pulled the iron chain. The sound of the iron chain was heard, but no one came in.
"Hey, is anyone there? Let me out. My relative is a high-ranking official in Beijing. If you dare to arrest me, be careful he wants your heads..."
The three people from before didn't show up again, and there wasn't even anyone to scold them.
Maybe she thought she was noisy, so the man across from her finally moved and replied, "Stop shouting, it's useless."
"Why?" Wei Qingyan looked at him.
The man tilted his head and looked at her, "This is underground. To be precise, under the mountain. No matter what kind of officials your relatives are, no one will find you."
Wei Qingyan continued to look at him.
The man knew she wanted to ask why, so he smiled bitterly and said, "I have been captured here for a month, and my people have not been found yet."
The people he brought were all well-trained top experts, but they failed to come to rescue him when he was missing for a month.
It can be seen that this place is very hidden, or it may have been manipulated so that ordinary people cannot find it.
Wei Qingyan understood the meaning of his words.
Then he put his fingers together and blew a whistle through his lips through the gaps between his fingers.
The whistle is very subtle and requires a person with good internal strength to detect it.
This is the signal she and Agu agreed upon. If Agu comes, she will definitely respond when she hears her whistle.
She listened intently, and after a moment, the same whistle came back to her ears, and also to the ears of the man diagonally opposite.
He looked happy, "You...you brought someone here?"
Wei Qingyan did not answer him directly, but pointed to the bucket of water and asked, "What kind of water is this?"
The man must have seen hope in Wei Qingyan, so he responded more positively, "They call it the water of the Tianshan Mountains.
On the top of this mountain, there is a clear spring. The mouth of the spring is only the size of the mouth of a bowl, but the spring water inside is inexhaustible. If you scoop it out, the spring water will come out again soon.
It's just that it's not easy to get water. I heard it takes more than two hours to get there and back, so they don't like us wasting it.
If you drink too much of this water, your internal strength and martial arts will gradually lose. "
When he was first captured, he refused to cooperate and knocked over the bucket of water. They starved him for three or four days. It was only through the curses of those people that he learned the source of the water.
"Why do you want us to drink this water?" Wei Qingyan was confused.
"Go away." The woman who had not spoken before suddenly spoke.
Remove turbidity?
Wei Qingyan thought about the strong man calling them goods before, and seemed to understand something in his heart, his eyes darkened.
