Chapter 762: Poisoning
Although Chu Huan couldn't see, he could feel that the carriage was turning east and west, and the carriage did not stop along the way, and there was silence in all directions, and there was no sound, there was no doubt that for these jailers, this trip was familiar with the road, and there was no need to stop to do any thinking, and there was no obstruction and unimpeded along the way.
There was also a deathly silence in the carriage, everyone didn't speak, and I don't know how long it was, Chu Huan felt the carriage stop suddenly, and then felt the door open, and heard an indifferent voice say: "All down, all down!" ”
The people in the car went down one after another, after Chu Huan got out of the car, he felt the cold wind gusting around, and vaguely heard the sound of "quack", Chu Huan immediately understood that the quack sound was obviously the sound of the trees when the wind swayed, if nothing else, he should have been taken by them to a forest now.
There was a jailer pushing beside him, and everyone quickly walked into an indoors, and the cold outside was reduced a lot, Chu Huan judged by the sound of footsteps, there should be more than a dozen people before and after.
When the jailer shouted for everyone to stop, and everyone stopped, they heard the jailer say in a deep voice: "Stay here, be honest, whoever plays tricks will be hacked to death." ”
One of the prisoners who listened said, "Aren't you going to change cells?" What is this place, and where are you going to take us? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard the man scream "Ouch", and then the man had already trembled: "You guys...... Why do you hit people......! ”
"Lao Tzu just said, stay honest here, if anyone is not honest, he will be hacked to death with a knife." The jailer sneered: "When you get here, don't ask anything, don't say anything, if anyone says one more word, then try the master's knife, anyway, almost all of you are death row prisoners, sooner or later you will be stabbed by this, if anyone is anxious, Lao Tzu will fulfill him." When the prisoners heard this, they were terrified, and they dared not say a word more.
Soon, everyone heard the sound of locking the door, Chu Huan leaned against the wall, sat down, waited for a while, and heard the silence all around, his hands that were originally tied behind him had been taken out from behind, and the blindfolded black scarf was lifted up, so that he could see the situation on all sides, and then put his hands back behind his back, as if his hands were still tied.
It was not as dark as I imagined, but I could vaguely see that it was a large room, empty all around, the walls were mottled and dilapidated, but there were two windows, but they were nailed with wooden boards, and only a few gaps were exposed.
Chu Huan looked around silently, and saw that there were thirteen or fourteen people lying in this room, some leaning against the wall, and some simply lying on the ground, all of them were blindfolded and their hands were tied.
The door of the house was closed, Chu Huan got up lightly, and then quietly approached the edge of the door, his ears were close to the door, holding his breath, and then he heard footsteps walking back and forth outside the door, obviously there was someone guarding the door.
Chu Huan couldn't be sure what the place was, so he walked to the window lightly, leaned sideways on the wall by the window, poked his head slightly, and looked out through the gap, but saw that the sky outside was already dawn, and the dawn was shining on the earth, and the two big carriages had already disappeared, even those jailers, who seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without a trace.
Chu Huan was puzzled, he couldn't be sure that this was the destination of the jailers, and saw that there was an open forest in front of him, with dense trees, although after winter, there were no more luxuriant branches and leaves, but he still couldn't see the end at a glance, and his vision was blocked by those dense thick tree trunks, Chu Huan faintly felt that this should be in the depths of the forest.
Chu Huan quietly returned to his place and sat down, leaning against the wall, thoughtful.
For a whole day, none of the jailers came in, and the prisoners in the house did not eat for a whole day, Chu Huan adapted to the hard life, and it was common not to eat for a day or two, and he didn't care, but a few prisoners sighed, and they didn't dare to shout, full of helplessness.
Chu Huan was also calm, and at the end of the day, he practiced the "Dragon Elephant Sutra" several times.
After it was dark, Chu Huan faintly heard a sound outside the window, he quickly moved over, leaned against the window, and looked over, but saw the forest in front of him, there was a firelight, four or five torches were like ghost fires, moving to this side, and soon, as the firelight approached, Chu Huan saw two big carriages coming to the front of the house.
In front of the house, the cell head who had interrogated Chu Huan, with three or four jailers, was waiting, Chu Huan only found out at this time that the cell head and several jailers were dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, not the clothes of the jailers.
After the two carriages came, Chu Huan saw that the cell head had already caught up, and Chu Huan also saw that on the side of the two carriages, there were four or five high-headed horses, and the riders on the horses were all dressed in black and masked, and they were not good people at first glance.
The cell boss was obviously in awe of the man, and stepped forward to say a few words to the man, the man bowed slightly, and his eyes suddenly looked at the window, and Chu Huan immediately retracted his head.
After a short while, Chu Huan probed again, and saw that the cell boss had already led those people and was coming towards the house.
Chu Huan's body was light, he returned to his position, pulled the black scarf down slightly, and at this time he could still vaguely see the scene in front of him, and then wrapped his hands around his back and leaned against the wall.
It didn't take long for the door to rattle, Chu Huan leaned against the wall, silent, but out of the corner of his eye, he had already caught a glimpse of the door opening, first two jailers came in with torches, and then the cell leader led the guy with a white belt around his waist into the room, the cell head straightened up, raised his hand and nodded, but he did not shy away from laughing and said: "Fourteen, you guys take care of yourself." ”
The man with the white belt carried his hands behind his back, and by the light of the fire, he glanced around, his eyes were like electricity, very sharp, and slowly moved to Chu Huan, but he didn't leave immediately, but looked at Chu Huan for a long time, the look in his eyes was extremely weird, and he suddenly turned around, and he didn't say a word, and walked out quickly.
The cell boss hastened to follow with a look of doubt on his face, followed by several jailers, and soon the door was closed again.
Chu Huan felt a little strange in his heart, faintly felt that something was wrong, he frowned slightly, thinking of the sharp eyes of that person, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with it.
There was silence all around, and I don't know how long it took, Chu Huan suddenly heard a very slight noise from the roof, at this time the sky outside was already very bright, and the light leaking in from the window was enough to see everything around.
Chu Huan raised his head and heard the movement on the roof quite clearly, and soon, he felt a beam of light shining in from the roof, and the tiles on the roof were actually lifted several times.
It didn't take long for seven or eight tiles to be lifted from the roof, revealing one hole after another, and multiple rays of light shot in, and the room was suddenly extremely bright.
Although Sun Zikong was blindfolded, he obviously felt something, and had already whispered: "Master, listen...... Roof...... There seems to be movement on the roof? ”
Chu Huan's brows tightened, and at this time, those prisoners also obviously felt the abnormality on the roof, and although they were blindfolded, they all looked at the roof reflexively.
Chu Huan was thinking about what these guys were going to do, but suddenly he saw someone on the roof poking out a head, condescendingly and looking underground, and then heard a gloomy voice from above: "Sprinkle it." Suddenly, from the orifices in the roof, like a downpour, water poured down from above, and sprinkled all over the house, and most of the prisoners had no time to dodge, and even if they did, there was nowhere to hide, and they were all splashed with water.
The moment Chu Huan splashed water on it, his expression changed greatly, he had already reached out and grabbed Sun Zikong's shoulder, without saying a word, pulled Sun Zikong, and hid in the corner of the house as quickly as possible, even so, Sun Zikong still had a few places on his body that were stained by the water splashed on it, Chu Huan pulled him to a dead corner of the house, did not hesitate at all, quickly tore off Sun Zikong's face towel, and quickly untied the rope of Sun Zikong's empty hands.
The grandson's empty face towel was torn, his eyes were bright, and he saw something splashing down from the roof, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and soon, he smelled an extremely strange smell and drilled into his nose, turned his head to look at Chu Huan, and said in surprise: "Master, your rope is ......!" He didn't know that Chu Huan was good at untying the rope by himself, and when he saw Chu Huan's free hands and feet, he was very puzzled.
Chu Huan's expression was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "They have poisoned ......!" ”
"Poisoner?" Sun Tzu was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, "Master, what's going on?" ”
"Don't you smell it?" Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "What is poured from above is all oil. ”
Sun Tzukong looked at the ground, only to see that there was a layer of oil on the ground, the oil was black and brown, exuding a strange smell, and when he was surprised, he suddenly understood something, and said in a lost voice: "Master, they ...... They're trying to burn us! ”
As soon as Sun Tzu's empty words fell, when he looked up, he saw several people holding torches on the roof, and he was horrified to see that the torches had been thrown down.
