Chapter 167: The Tortured Prisoner
After Jin Shaoming left, everything returned to calm.
"Ahhh Suddenly, there was a miserable cry outside, as if it had come from a distant place, and it made people panic. When Mu Lingyun heard the voice, he couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he hurriedly ran out.
She followed the sound to another cave, where there was an iron door, through which she could see that many prisoners were being held.
Bai Chenxi and Yang Zhenghao were standing in front of the two prisoners, only to see Bai Chenxi holding an iron brand in his hand, looking at the prisoner who was tied to the shelf with fierce eyes.
The prisoner on the wooden frame was scarred, his clothes were in tatters, his body was covered with whipping scars, bloody wounds, and he looked very pitiful.
Mu Lingyun was shocked, he didn't expect that they would treat the prisoners so cruelly. Seeing the poor prisoners, she felt compassion for them, and if they continued to be tortured, they might die.
"Who? Who's out there? Yang Zhenghao turned to look at her.
Oops, it has been discovered, Mu Lingyun muttered in her heart, she had no choice but to walk in.
"It's me, I heard the screams, so I couldn't help but be curious, and came over to take a look." Mu Lingyun said as he secretly glanced at the two prisoners who were tied to the wooden frame, their messy hair covering their faces, and Mu Lingyun couldn't recognize who these two people were.
"These two people are both officials of the imperial court, but they are waiting for the opportunity to sneak into the Soul Eater Hall, I don't know what to do, this is what happened to them!" Yang Zhenghao raised the steaming iron and branded it on the prisoner's arm. When dealing with prisoners, Yang Zhenghao has never been merciful.
"Ahh The burned prisoner screamed in pain, and he fainted in pain.
Mu Lingyun was frightened, she was worried about Jin Shaoming's safety, although he used the disguise technique, but these people were very cunning, she was worried that sooner or later Jin Shaoming's identity would be exposed.
"They're too pitiful...... aren't they" Mu Lingyun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she really wanted to intercede for them.
"Yun Mu, you don't understand, they just look pitiful now, they are actually just secret guards who work for the Dog Emperor, they are the most vicious minions around the Emperor." Bai Chenxi said faintly.
Cold sweat broke out on Mu Lingyun's forehead, and he said anxiously: "I still don't see it, I'm leaving!" Mu Lingyun hurriedly turned around.
"I'll go back with you." Bai Chenxi suddenly grabbed her hand.
Mu Lingyun withdrew her hand in horror, except for Jin Shaoming, she didn't want to be touched by other men.
Bai Chenxi was a little sad to see her rejecting him so much, and he withdrew his hand.
Yang Zhenghao stood next to him, and when he saw such a subtle move between the two of them, he felt strange that there were also women that Bai Chenxi couldn't handle.
At this time, Mu Lingyun left here without looking back.
When she came out, Mu Lingyun accidentally bumped into someone, and when she raised her head, she found out that it was Li Daxian.
Li Daxian knocked Mu Lingyun's head and reproached: "You girl, you don't look at the road no matter how you walk!" Li Daxian had already guessed that Mu Lingyun was a girl before, so when he saw that Mu Lingyun was a daughter, he was not surprised at all.
Mu Lingyun touched his head, only to find that it was Li Daxian, "It's you!" Li Taixian, where are you going? ”
"The adopted son of the hall master's wife, Lu'er, is sick and has a fever, I have to go over and take a look!" Li Daxian said, his tone revealing an anxious mood.
Mu Lingyun's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "But I only saw him in the morning, isn't it okay?" ”
"You don't understand this, this illness is something that happened in an instant, when you see him, is he listless?" Li Daxian asked her.
Mu Lingyun thought about it carefully, it was true that he was not very energetic, in the past, as long as she hugged him, he would laugh, but today he was sick, so she said: "It seems that he has no energy." ”
Li Daxian stroked his beard and said, "That's right, I'm leaving, don't say it!" ”
"I want to go with you!" Mu Lingyun wanted to see her child wholeheartedly, she only hoped that he would be safe and fine.
Li Daxian frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to go and see that kid in the morning, but now he's sick and I'm worried about him." Mu Lingyun casually made an excuse.
Li Daxian had no choice but to agree. He took her with him.
Mu Lingyun and Li Daxian came to Liuxian Cave. "Wow, wow-" The child's cry came out, and Mu Lingyun saw her child and cried fiercely. A maid in emerald green clothes was hugging him, comforting him in a soft tone, "Don't cry, be ......"
When Su Hongmei saw Li Daxian coming, she strode forward and said anxiously: "Daxian, please help the child take a look, he was fine in the morning, but now he is like this, crying all the time......"
"Don't worry, Madame Hallmaster, I will definitely do my best to cure the child for you." Li Daxian walked over and carefully examined the child's body.
At this time, Su Hongmei noticed that there was another girl beside Li Daxian, that is, Yun Mu, who had been here with Bai Chenxi in the morning.
"Why are you ......" Su Hongmei looked at Mu Lingyun in confusion.
"Hello Mrs. Hallmaster, I didn't have any malicious intent here, just to see Lu'er." Mu Lingyun hurriedly replied.
And Li Daxian was sitting on the chair, concentrating on Jin Ruoping's diagnosis and treatment.
"It's okay, it's just an ordinary wind chill." Li Daxian stroked his beard.
Mu Lingyun finally couldn't help it, she stepped forward, "It's better to trouble you, give me a hug." Mu Lingyun said, taking the child from the maid's hand. The child's eyes were squinting, and both cheeks were flushed. In this way, it is obvious that there is a fever.
The strange thing is that when Mu Lingyun was holding the child, "Be good, don't cry, don't cry!" Mu Lingyun gently patted the child's back as he spoke, and the child held back his tears.
"Look, he's not crying!" Mu Lingyun shouted happily.
Su Hongmei walked over and saw that the child was indeed quiet, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, a hint of a smile appeared, and she praised Mu Lingyun: "You are really good at being able to coax the child." ”
"I only know a thing or two." Mu Lingyun said modestly.
"Then I'll prescribe a few pairs of medicines, I have to go to Granny Su's to grab the medicine, and I have to decoct the medicine for him!" Li Daxian replied.
And Su Hongmei's head was big as soon as she heard the name Granny Su, she held her forehead and said: "What Granny Su, I think she is a weird old woman, last time I sent someone to her to get medicine, and everyone under her all hit a wall!" ”
"It's better to leave this matter to this girl, she went to Granny Su to grab medicine last time." Li Daxian set his eyes on Mu Lingyun's body.
"Good! Leave it to me! Mu Lingyun nodded again and again, because it was not the first time she had gone to Granny Su, and she was sure that she would let Granny Su give her the medicine.
When Mu Lingyun appeared in front of Granny Su again, as soon as Granny Su saw Mu Lingyun, her face showed a happy expression, "Yun Mu, I was thinking that I didn't see you come here to decoct medicine today, so I thought about where you went, but I didn't expect you to really come!" ”
"Granny Su, I'm here to grab medicine for another person, take a look at this." Mu Lingyun said and handed the prescription in his hand to Granny Su.
Granny Su took the prescription and said with a serious face: "Yun Mu, it's not that I don't help you, but Granny Su has the rules here, and you must complete the task I gave you to get the medicine." ”
Granny Su's expression was very cold, not like she was joking with her.
"However, the child is sick and can't wait!" Mu Lingyun said anxiously, I just hope she would agree soon.
Although she hadn't heard anything about the task yet, she was afraid that if she helped her complete any more tasks, the child's condition would be even more serious.
Granny Su looked at her nervous appearance, and her heart softened, but Granny Su still stuck to her principles. "Don't worry, my request is actually very simple, I just want you to hammer your shoulder." Granny Su said with a smile.
Hearing such a request, Mu Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You said it earlier, I was worried for a long time." Sit down, I'll help you! ”
Mu Lingyun helped Granny Su to the chair and sat down, she clenched her fists and gently helped Granny Su beat her back.
"Is that comfortable?" Mu Lingyun asked while beating her back, her strength was not very heavy, and Granny Su was also very satisfied.
Granny Su nodded again and again and looked at her approvingly, "That's right, that's it, it's very comfortable." I didn't expect your technique to be quite good. ”
Mu Lingyun couldn't help but think of the past, she had also helped Mu Wei beat her back, at that time she was very stubborn, once her father wanted to punish her, she took the initiative to be courteous and beat her father's back, so that her father's anger could easily disappear, and over time, her back beating skills also improved rapidly.
"Okay, stop, I'll go get your medicine." Granny Su said happily that she was very satisfied with her.
"Thank you, Granny Su!" Mu Lingyun stretched his brows, revealing a faint smile.
"The medicine stove is there, you can decoct the medicine yourself! I'm going out to pick herbs! Granny Su pointed to the medicine stove.
"yes, I know." Mu Lingyun nodded. After Granny Su left, she was left alone.
Mu Lingyun squatted next to the medicine stove, this was not the first time she had decocted medicine, she carefully looked after the medicine stove, for fear that the fire would be too big. Hot sweat was pouring down her forehead, and the stove was getting hotter. But when she thought that the child was still waiting for her medicine, her heart was anxious, as the child's mother, she only hoped that the child would get better.
