Chapter 264: Imprisoned Xue Yurong
Xue Yurong just felt tired all over, and her wrists and ankles were in constant pain.
She was hungry and thirsty at the moment, her head was dizzy and she didn't know what to think.
But he hadn't eaten since he was brought here two days ago. Now he was so hungry and thirsty that he wanted to eat his own flesh and blood.
Looking at the imprisoned woman in the house, Xue Yurong knew that she might not be able to escape. This place didn't look like an easy place to come to. It was easy to get in but difficult to get out.
"I don't know how my sister is doing." Xue Yurong felt sad and a little regretful.
If I had followed that young master surnamed Li, would my situation today be different? I wouldn't be like this now, not only losing my sister, but also being imprisoned.
My little sister is so young, what would happen if she met a bad guy?
The more Xue Yurong thought about this, the more confused she became. She wished she could turn into a fly and fly away to her younger sister to protect her.
I was supposed to come to Yangzhou to look for my relatives, but I didn't expect that I would not only fail to find them, but also get myself involved.
Those people looked ferocious and it seemed that they were not good people. One could always hear the crying, hoarse cries and even miserable screams of various women, like the desperate sounds of sows being dragged out of the pigsty.
Xue Yurong was so frightened by the situation that she trembled with fear. It was hard for her to imagine that if she suffered such a torture, she would still have the desire to live.
One or two girls from this room were dragged out every day. The way they were dragged was like dragging a dog, totally inhumane.
Anyone who disobeyed would be severely beaten. These evil spirits would not distinguish between serious and minor offenses, and would swing their sticks left and right, making the girls scream and scream, and finally they had no choice but to surrender.
If there are still people who disobey, the consequences will be even more serious.
It was in this room that she saw with her own eyes a strong-willed woman being tortured until dawn, and then dragged out naked, dying.
Having seen so many tragedies, Xue Yurong no longer expected to escape. There were guards everywhere, and strong men everywhere. If no one passed the message outside, who would come to save her? Besides, she had no relatives or friends in Yangzhou, so even if she could ask someone to speak for her, she didn't know who to ask for help.
To survive, this was Xue Yurong's only thought at the moment.
She just wants to survive now. If she has a chance to go out, she will still have hope of finding her sister.
Whether her sister is dead or alive, she must give an explanation to her parents.
Silently gathering her strength, she could only wait here for others to decide her fate. Life and death, in the end, were just a matter of someone else's words.
The night was dark and Xue Yurong felt drowsy.
It was when I was half asleep and half awake that I heard a faint call in my ears.
"Xue Yurong, Xue Yurong"
Who? Who is calling me?
Xue Yurong woke up from her coma and tried hard to open her eyes and look around.
There was no one around and the house was quiet.
"Xue Yurong."
Listening to the sound again, it was obviously coming from in front of me.
She looked down and saw a thin paper figure standing in the dim night.
The paper figure was dark and gloomy, floating in the air, as if frightened.
Xue Yurong was awakened by this scene. She broke out in a cold sweat and shuddered all over.
All of a sudden, all sleepiness disappeared. Just as he was about to shout out, he seemed to have remembered something and swallowed the sound back.
Xue Yurong just lowered her head to look at the paper figure and took a deep breath.
"Who are you?" she asked softly, afraid that her voice would be too loud and alarm others.
After all, such a strange thing in front of her might be a good thing for her. If there were ghosts and gods, Xue Yurong would be willing to sacrifice her life, just to ask the ghosts and gods to bless her sister and teach her to grow up safely.
No matter how terrible the incident was, it was already considered lucky compared to what we are experiencing now.
"It's me." The paper man said, and then slowly expanded. In a moment, it turned into a person, standing quietly in front of Xue Yurong.
That familiar handsome face had a smile on it, and he was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, like a handsome young man who had walked out of a painting.
"Mr. Li!" Xue Yurong was instantly delighted and felt indescribably excited. She almost wanted to shout out loud.
She reached out to grab Li Daoxuan's sleeve, but was trapped by the chains.
"Shush, keep your voice down and don't get excited." Li Daoxuan comforted.
"Yes, I'm sorry that I couldn't control my emotions." Xue Yurong apologized quickly.
"It's okay. I came here to save you." Li Daoxuan smiled at her and looked at the chains on her body.
These are chains made of cast iron, which bind Xue Yurong's hands and feet after being locked. It is difficult to open the locks on these chains without a key, and if brute force is used, it will alert the guards outside.
In this case, we have to be careful and think about how to get Xue Yurong out after rescuing her.
"Don't move here, I'll think of a solution." Li Daoxuan spoke to her softly, asking her not to alert the enemy.
Xue Yurong naturally understood her situation and waited quietly for his next move.
Li Daoxuan walked around Xue Yurong, looked left and right, then pinched his finger and chanted towards the iron chain: "The sky is clear and the earth is spiritual, the Taishang Laojun is showing his true spirit. Thousands of chains cannot hold it, hurry up and obey the command!"
After saying this, the Dow Index changed into a three-mountain finger, walked to the iron chain, stomped his feet lightly, then pointed at the lock and said, "Open!"
There was a slight clang and the lock opened.
With four bangs, the chains that bound Xue Yurong were untied.
Xue Yurong was immediately delighted. She rubbed her aching hands and feet and tried to stand up.
But she had been kneeling on the ground for too long, and her legs and feet were numb. When she stood up shakily, she felt like her legs were not her own.
"You've been tied up for too long, and your blood circulation is blocked, which makes you numb. If you escape now, you'll be easily caught." Li Daoxuan looked at Xue Yurong's face and knew that she was in trouble. He reached out and lifted her skirt, and under Xue Yurong's shy gaze, he massaged her knees through her pants.
"Mr. Li," Xue Yurong's voice was buzzing, like a mosquito flying beside her ear.
She only felt a warm current in her knees, and the original numbness and swelling feeling slowly dissipated.
"Don't blame me for being too rude, it just happened for a reason. If I help you relieve it sooner, we can get out earlier." Li Daoxuan looked at her expression and understood the shyness in Xue Yurong's heart.
At this age, women’s legs are not allowed to be touched by outsiders, but since the situation was urgent, he felt that he should not be as fussy about it as usual.
After helping Xue Yurong to feel better, Li Daoxuan helped her stand up. Looking at the scene in the room, he had no other thoughts.
It's already troublesome to save Xue Yurong now, and with one more person, we definitely won't be able to get out.
After all, his real body is not here. What came is just a paper incarnation. He doesn't bring much magic power with him, so it will run out eventually.
"How do we get out?" Xue Yurong asked curiously.
"I have my own way." Li Daoxuan smiled, then took out a talisman from his sleeve, stuck it on Xue Yurong, and said "change" to her.
Xue Yurong suddenly turned into smoke and then into a rat.
