"Give me something to eat, please, I'm going to starve to death."

"I'm not a prisoner, there is a shed in the town that serves herbal tea, and I went in and had a drink before I was abducted here. Girl, you will save us."

These people rushed to Lin Yanxi's feet, treating her as a last-minute lifesaver, and begged in a low voice.

She guiltily said, "I, I don't have anything to eat."

One of the women pounced in front of Lin Yanxi from the crowd and said, "Girl, I can see that you are a good person, you help me, I am not a prisoner, we were originally refugees from other countries, and we were abducted here as soon as we walked to the town and drank a cup of herbal tea."

"I can barely hold on, my two children, the younger one is dead, and the older one can't hold on, please save us."

As she spoke, she dragged a child from the crowd, who was only eleven or twelve years old, and who was on his knees and swayed, and who had not eaten for a long time.

The others also rubbed their hands and begged Lin Yanxi to save them.

"Give us something to eat, we can't hold it anymore."

The drought in Nanmin is getting more and more serious, and many places will open tea sheds and porridge sheds to relieve the displaced people.

Lin Yanxi realized that the movements here were getting more and more likely to attract the attention of the guards, and she couldn't continue to stay here, she couldn't take any of these people away now.

"Shhhhh

The man on his knees looked at each other and whispered about the name she had spoken.

The woman shook her head and said, "Girl, there's no one here."

Lin Yanxi was stunned and looked at the guards who should have gone to eat outside the pit, and no one was looking here.

She asked again, "Think about it, it's a man with a broken hand, could it be that you don't know him?"

The old man who ate the steamed bun regained some strength, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Girl, the official will call out his name according to the roster every morning before dawn, count the number of people, I have been arrested for five years, almost everyone I remember, there has never been a person named Gu Qing, not to mention that he also broke a hand, if I am here, I will definitely be able to remember."

"Yes, there really isn't anyone named Gu Qing."

Others chimed in.

The woman pulled down Lin Yanxi's sleeve and attached it to her ear, her eyes kept looking left and right, for fear that the guards would notice them, and whispered, "Girl, there are still some people who have been arrested, but I have only seen people enter, and I have never seen anyone come out."

The woman's rough, dirty fingers nodded quietly at one of them, and her hands were torn several times by the heavy work, and the rest of the bodies were covered with scars and unclothed.

Lin Yanxi felt very uncomfortable, and looked at her fingers, there were two large iron gates standing in a hole in the distance, and a few people were specially placed to guard them, and in addition to a few other people, there were also a few people wandering in front of the door to patrol.

It seems that this is a heavily guarded place in the prison.

She took the food box and hid next to a haystack to observe, and found that all the gravel and wood had been carried into the hole.

"Let's go! Hurry up."

Two guards, one at the end and one at the end, were tied to a dozen people with an iron chain in the middle, and the iron chain at the end was hanging on the ground with a "bang".

They walked to the far left, separated from Lin Yanxi only by two wooden boxes and a haystack.

The guard said, "I'll go in later, and count how many people we've caught."

"Let me go, I don't know you, why do you want to arrest me!"

"I still have my young son and my old mother waiting for me at home, please let me go, what do you want? I have no money."

The two guards laughed mockingly, "Be quiet, do you want to leave here?" 1，2，3......」

One of the guards began to count the number of people from the front, and Lin Yanxi deliberately smashed the food box in his hand on the ground to make a noise.

He paused, and said to the guards at the end, "Go and see what's going on."

After a while he stopped the man and said, "Oh, my stomach hurts, I'd better go and go to a latrine."

At the end, the guard quipped him, "Go, go, you've got a lot to do in a day."

Lin Yanxi carefully hid behind the haystack, listening to the guard's footsteps getting closer and closer, his wrist reversed a few times, and his hands were sealed, "Sleep!"

A woman suddenly came out from behind the haystack, and a yellow talisman shaped under her hand flew towards the guard, and he was startled, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes rolled upward, and he fainted.

She reluctantly put on the guard's clothes, took his waist card, and came out of the other side of the pit, she buried her head and tried to enter the hole, but was stopped by several guards.

"Waist card."

Lin Yanxi took out the sign from her waist and handed it to the guard's hand, her hands were slender, her fingertips were round, and she looked particularly white on the dark gray bronze medal.

The guard looked at her fingertips for a moment, and then looked at her again, a guard uniform was loose on her, and the long knife hung from her waist to her calf, which was indescribably weird.

"Which gate are you guarding it?"

She tried to maintain her expression, but a trace of panic quickly crossed her eyes, "I ......"

After she couldn't understand for a while, the guard's eyes became a little more suspicious, and he asked again, "Which one is in the lead?"

Lin Yanxi's little hands were hidden in the cuffs and clenched into fists, his fingertips sank into the flesh, and his teeth gently bit his thin lips.

It's a big deal to die with these mermaids.

She had already figured out the worst idea, and looked around, every door was guarded by layers of guards, and her charm was afraid that it would be difficult to resist so many people.

Just as she was about to concentrate on urging the spell, a familiar voice rang out: "Why are you still staying here, these people will not be sent in again, waiting to be punished."

Her dark eyes lifted, Shen Muzhou's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his angular face came into view, and he took out his waist card at random and shook it in front of the guard's eyes before putting it away.

The moment she saw him, her nervous mood instantly eased a lot, and she had a bottom in her heart.

He urged, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and the time has been delayed, why did you come here first."

Lin Yanxi reacted quickly and cooperated, "I thought you guys went in first."

Shen Muzhou dragged the iron chain, and the dozen or so people just now were tied to an iron chain, and Lin Yanxi followed last.

The guard glanced at him, the suspicion in his eyes instantly subsided, and said with a smile, "Go quickly, don't let the leader wait, it's not easy to make a difference."

After entering the pit, it was a double-layer hole, the hole was not breathable, it was dim and stuffy, and it was full of rust and sweat stains, Lin Yanxi subconsciously wrinkled his little nose.

Whispered, "Why are you here?"

Shen Muzhou waited for her outside for a long time without news, worried that Lin Yanxi was in danger, in a hurry, he found a side door, and turned in through the side door to see a guard looking at a dozen or so people tied up with iron chains, he led the person to a few wooden boxes and knocked him unconscious, and changed into his clothes.

It was discovered that there was also a stripped guard in the haystack.

He looked away from her face and replied, "I'm afraid you'll mess up."

Lin Yanxi glanced at him, too lazy to argue with him here, hating his self-righteous appearance the most.

Shen Muzhou carefully observed the surrounding situation and said, "It's too dangerous here, you have to get out quickly."

Lin Yanxi grabbed him and said, "Let's go inside and take a look first, I think there is something strange about this pit."

He hesitated, nodded, agreed with her, and the two walked inside together.

In the middle of the pits were small cells, each with a few blacksmiths, and outside each cell was watched by a guard, and further inside were several large wooden boxes.

Shen Muzhou came closer, picked up the weeds on the wooden box, and neatly stacked arrows with white light in the box.

"Privately made weapons?" Lin Yanxi whispered in surprise.

There are also several boxes next to it, all covered with weeds, which are spears and halberds

Armor.

She subconsciously looked at Shen Muzhou, his face was very bad, and his eyes were gloomy and terrifying.

In addition to these things, there were many stacks of grain and grass for the horses, which were stacked on top of each other.

"Everything is in the warehouse, please."

There was a sound of footsteps outside from far and near, accompanied by the sound of several people talking, Shen Muzhou grabbed Lin Yanxi's waist and looked left and right, hiding behind the deepest part of the grain and grass, when he came in just now, he noticed that there was just a secret compartment there that could accommodate him,

The space in the dark compartment was narrow and dim, and the two held their breath, for fear of being discovered by people outside.

The two of them were almost close together, Shen Muzhou's hand was still tightly wrapped around Lin Yanxi's waist, her face was flushed but she didn't dare to move.

In the silence, they could even hear each other's breathing.

After a while, he walked in front of the haystack, but the man had his back to the dark grid so he didn't notice them, "Are you satisfied?"

The man flipped through a few boxes and said, "It's not bad, it's just that the progress is a little slower."

"Alas, don't blame me, in order not to attract the attention of the people, we can only catch some helpless homeless people and orphans, and everything that can be caught in this neighborhood is almost caught, especially this blacksmith, who works in a cage, and has to change a group of people every three months, and we don't know where to get a blacksmith now."

The man was silent for a moment and asked, "Are the corpses all disposed of?"

Lin Yanxi frowned, it turned out that the meaning of changing a group of people in the past three months was to kill people and replace them with new blacksmiths.

"Don't worry, my lord, it's all clean here...... Let's see if you can send a message to the top when I will be transferred back to the county."

The man snorted coldly and didn't speak, and when he spoke again, the two footsteps had already gone away, "The county order is not so simple, you do a good job in the ghost town first, there is a chance."

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words."

Lin Yanxi heard that people were a little farther away, she raised her little head slightly, and looked at Shen Muzhou, a pair of apricot eyes were as clever as a deer, mixed with temptation.

Unexpectedly, I wanted to track down the jade talisman, but I actually saw a hidden weapon, and I was chased and killed.

It's really unlucky, but Shen Muzhou doesn't have any expression on his face, but he can still see that his eyes are also preoccupied.

"Let's get out of here first."

Lin Yanxi walked out as he spoke, and suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps came, and the guard said, "Look at the warehouse, someone has mixed in!"

As soon as he said this, he arrived in the warehouse, Shen Muzhou was the first to react, and grabbed her arm with his big hand, wanting to drag her into the dark compartment just now, Lin Yanxi didn't stand firm for a while, and she fell to Shen Muzhou's side the moment she turned around.

Lin Yanxi's tied bun spread out instantly, her long hair was soft and smooth and leaked to her neck and shoulders, her temples were like mist, her fine hair rubbed against the side of his face, and the fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose.

Her eyes widened, desperately trying to suppress the screams that overflowed, and the moment they fell to the ground, the four red lips clinging together through the veil.
