Dark.

I don't know how long it took.

All she remembered was that it was a long time ago that she had been caught here.

A month, half a year, a year, or more?

There is no light here all day long, and it is always shrouded in endless darkness, and you can't see your fingers.

There wasn't a lot of space here, that's what she came to by touching the walls around her inch by inch. She vaguely remembered that at the beginning, she had been struggling and howling, but her howl was only exchanged for being tied up and whipping and fainting from hunger many times, so she no longer resisted, anyway, as long as she followed the wishes of the people who imprisoned her, although she could not fill her stomach, she could still eat something occasionally, and she would not be tied up and hung for a day and a night.

I don't know when, there was another person beside her, that person was very quiet, obedient, and it seemed that she had no idea of resisting the captives in her heart, but she was numb, but there was always a ray of light in her heart that had not been extinguished.

All they have to do is to obey the instructions of the prisoners who come from time to time and accept the humiliation.

The captives, a group of people, she didn't know, she only knew that every time the captives came, it was when they were most in pain—not right, because she was used to receiving pain, but rather, she was also faintly hoping for the captives to come, because it meant that she could eat the food brought by the captives, and these insignificant foods were the only source to fill her empty stomach.

Old wounds on her body were often added before they had formed scars, and she could even faintly smell the rancid stench emanating from several wounds.

The light in her heart finally began to dissipate little by little, and in the process, she was a little envious of the other woman, at least that person did not have as many emotions as her, like a domestic animal - it is not right to say that, after all, the pig is killed and screams, and the man will not - can accept everything calmly.

But she couldn't, she could clearly feel the pain of the light in the depths of her numb body.

Suffering?

Accustomed to the pain, she finally felt the pain again, and it was so strong that she enjoyed it almost greedily.

She didn't want to lose it, so she thought of resisting.

How can they resist?

Unarmed, bruised and extremely weak.

I don't know how long it was, but the man's throat made an incomprehensible sound, and she followed the sound, and the man seemed to want to kill her.

The man had a sharp object in his hand and plunged into her arm, but she managed to counter her.

She snatched it up.

It was a stone sharpened by the man, who seemed to have pulled a small piece of stone from the corner of the wall at some point.

It must have been grinding on the ground or wall for a long time to be so sharp.

Why didn't she ever find out? She didn't have the energy to guess anymore.

The captives came again, and with the last of her strength, she plunged the stone into the captive's neck while the captives were enjoying her.

She was a little surprised that the captives had been killed by her so smoothly?

At that moment, out of nowhere, she thrust deeply, as if not only the stone, but also her hand into the prisoner's neck.

The other man didn't seem to move, and she didn't pay any attention to the man.

She managed to escape.

She finally saw the blue sky and white clouds that she had been absent for a long time, and the scorching sun.

Gan Wu opened her eyes in the dark, her eyes were empty and blank, and her body was soaked in cold sweat.

She seemed to have fainted again, but in the confusion she had been dreaming for a long time.

The people in the dream can feel every minute and every second.

The taste of pain to numbness, the darkness of endless cramping, the disgusting rancid stench.

Ganwu can be felt bit by bit, completely.

"That's what it is...... Am I losing memories? ”

She thought about it, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling of nausea hit her, and she opened her mouth weakly, unable to vomit anything.

"Is that another person the Faceless Woman?"

She thought.

She steadied herself and barely stood up with her body propped up.

She was ready to move on.

But before she could go far, a group of people surrounded her.

Hangzhou, pen painting tang.

The matter of who has been detained recently in Hangzhou City Prison where Xiaoyue went to inquire has been completed, and she has returned to the wine shop.

"Sister Yue'er," Ruan Whale Luo was still painting in the courtyard against the lotus pond, and when she saw Xiao Yue coming back out of the corner of her eye, she immediately put down the pen in her hand and asked a little anxiously, "Have you found Ganwu?" When I got up, none of you were in the wine shop, and I could only do it in a hurry, trying to draw something to calm down, but I couldn't calm down, and even the things I drew were full of impatience. ”

Xiao Yue tilted her head to look at Ruan Whaleluo's painting, and then looked at the Zihao pen that had been somewhat forked: "We couldn't find her." ”

"What about her?" Ruan Whale Luo was taken aback.

"It doesn't have to happen, she's already very weak, she can't go far, and we're very familiar with this neighborhood, I'll look for it later." Xiao Yue comforted Ruan Whale Luo.

Ruan Whale Luo nodded, as if she remembered something: "By the way, why did Sister Yue'er come back alone, what about Brother Begonia?" ”

"My brother and I split up this morning, I went to check on your situation over there in the Hangzhou City Prison, my brother should go to find out other information," Xiao Yue said, "My brother is also more concerned about Ganwu's past, and it should be someone to investigate Ganwu's past." ”

Ruan Jingluo nodded, and chatted with Xiao Yue a few more words, anyway, she couldn't calm down when she was painting, so she simply followed Xiao Yue to the back kitchen to cook.

By the time Begonia returned to the wine shop, it had been an hour.

He exchanged information with Xiao Yue, and Xiao Yue's investigation showed that there was no such person as Gan Wu in Hangzhou City Prison recently, and the environment described by Gan Wu was not the same as that of the prison, so if Gan Wu's lost memory was really imprisoned, then it was obviously not imprisoned by the government.

"So," Xiao Yue pondered, "was Gan Wu imprisoned by someone else's unauthorized detention?" ”

"If your guess yesterday is correct, I'm afraid there is only one possibility," Haitang said, "I also went to inquire about some things, the governance of Hangzhou City is not bad, there should be no big family like the Panyu Duan family, but I also inquired about two people here, one is a man surnamed Han in the east of the city, and the other is a former cook in Jiuzhonglou." ”

Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong with the two of them?" ”

"The former has nothing to do and fools around with fox pot dog friends, which is quite a bit of a feeling that no one is in his eyes, while the latter used to use the power of the nine-story building to bully and oppress others." Begonia Road.

Ruan Yuluo brought the meal they had prepared earlier from the back kitchen at this moment, and Xiao Yue got up to take it and said, "You mean to say that with the notoriety of these two people, they are the ones who could do such a thing as imprisoning others?" ”

Haitang took the bowl handed by Ruan Whale Luo and said, "Thank you," and then turned to Xiao Yue and said, "It's just possible, I'm thinking, if it's not the people detained by the government, then the people who imprisoned Ganwu always live in Hangzhou City, since they live in Hangzhou City, it is impossible to do things completely without leakage, so I went to inquire about the most likely person, and then we will slowly rule it out." ”

"Brother Begonia," Ruan Whale Luo listened to on the side, and couldn't help but speak, "Where is Ganwu now, do you have a clue?" ”

Haitang sighed lightly when she heard this: "It's strange to say, we didn't find any trace of her last night, but she can't go far, after we have eaten this meal, Xiaoyue, you go to find her again, I will go to Hangzhou City to continue to find out the details of the two." ”

Xiao Yue pulled a piece of meat into her bowl and nodded.

The meal passed quickly, and Xiao Yue comforted Ruan Whale Luo again, and then followed Haitang out of the door.

As mentioned earlier, Haitang is going to Hangzhou to investigate the details and whereabouts of the two, while Xiaoyue is preparing to find the traces of Ganwu again.

Xiao Yue got out of the wine shop and walked in the opposite direction towards Hangzhou City.

This time, however, there were some discoveries.

"What is this?" Xiao Yue squatted down in front of a tree, and the blades of grass growing here were all lying on their stomachs in the same direction, as if they had been weighed down by a heavy object.

Xiao Yue thought for a moment and continued to walk deeper into the forest.

The sun seemed to be a little tired after a day's work in the sky, and tilted slightly to the west, leaving behind a dusk scattered on the ground.

Haitang is still dressed in that dress, so he arrived in Hangzhou City, according to the information he heard, he came in from the east gate of Hangzhou City, and the man surnamed Han lived on a certain street near here.

After asking a few more nearby residents, Haitang locked down the approximate area where the man surnamed Han lived: the courtyard at the end of the street in front of him at the moment.

The man surnamed Han should be named Han Tianhua, a well-known scoundrel in this neighborhood, according to several nearby residents, he has not returned home at this moment, and now he is either drinking with a few of his friends somewhere, or he is having a good time in a Fengyue place.

Begonia is not in a hurry, after all, no matter how late it is, this person will always return home, right?

There aren't many restaurants around here, and the scale is not large, so even if you go to see each of them, it won't take much time. After asking about some of Han Tianhua's appearance characteristics, Haitang decided to look for it first, if she didn't find it, it would not be too late to come back.

After walking around, as expected, he did not find any trace of Han Tianhua.

"Han Tianhua does not have a stable source of income, but why he has an income is a big problem...... For such people, they can only go to those cheap small shops for drinking and eating, and the choice of going to Qinglou is even narrower. ”

Haitang thought, and after asking nearby passers-by about the location of the surrounding "high-quality and inexpensive" Fengyue places, she walked to the Qinglou called "Sichun Courtyard" in the strange eyes of that person.

Sichun Courtyard, is a more famous green building in the east of the city, it is said that the girl here looks smart, and the price is much cheaper than other places, especially the Oiran here, a hand of the zither is unique, attracting many men to dump.

"Yo, official, please here, please here~"

There are a few strings of lanterns lit on both sides of the gate of Sichun Courtyard, and there are several women standing in front of the door who are a little scantily dressed.

Haitang nodded slightly, slightly avoiding the bustard's hand that stretched out to hold him.

"Little brother, you're still shy," the old bustard seemed to be used to seeing such a scene, and didn't care, and said with a smile, "A little brother like you, our girl here likes it very much." Why don't you tell me first, what kind of girl you want, what you want, we definitely have it here! ”

Entering the courtyard gate, the smell of various fat powders mixed with the smell of sweat and food diffused in the air, which was somewhat disgusting. Haitang sniffed and frowned slightly: "I'm not here to find a girl, I'm here to find someone." ”
