Human nature is unfathomable

jumping into a trap. If this exit is sealed off, how do we get out in a short time"What does this meanIs someone taking advantage of meThat old Wang Ye—I looked at Jiang Qiyun, and he suddenly encircl...This smelled like tobacco—it seemed to mingle with the scent on the lapel pin we were both wearing.

I immediately covered my nose and mouth, but the woman across from me didn't have time. She always carried a basket and distributed dried flower pins, and the faint scent of the dried flowers had long permeated her body.

The smoke drifting in made me dizzy. The woman across from me had gone limp and fallen to the ground.

One hand slowly lifted the window, and a hazy moonlight streamed in. The eldest sister supported herself on the window frame with one hand, while her other finger held something resembling a cigarette.

That thing burned flickeringly, sending out puffs of smoke.

"The eldest sister said leisurely: "To prevent anyone from causing trouble here, you have to wear a corsage as soon as you enter. The scent of a single corsage won't have much effect, but if you inhale the smell of these two mixed fragrances~~ your body will temporarily become numb. It's not fatal, don't be afraid."

She smiled and said, “But if you come with ill intentions, it will be fatal ~~"

Actually, my body isn't paralyzed, but I don't dare to move.

After all, we've lived together for so many years. As soon as I open my mouth, Big Sister will definitely be able to tell.

She was naturally a cold and beautiful type. Now, with moonlight casting upon her back, half of her features were hidden in the darkness. Although her words carried a smile, the ferocity and hostility still emanated from her.

What is she hiding from me I remember that my elder sister was normal at home before. Why would she contact people outside the country

"Huh What are you looking at me for" My elder sister's gaze landed on me.

I was wearing a headscarf and veil, concealing my face, but just the meeting of our eyes caused a flicker of change on my senior sister's expression.

"Little junior sister!" she murmured softly.

My heart skipped a beat, with a feeling I couldn't describe.

The eldest sister still recognized me.

But why did she run to this kind of place

Having run away from home and her whereabouts are unknown, working for the boss in a place like this Is she short of money Impossible.

Besides her elder brother, she had no other siblings to stand up to her. And her elder brother, though cold on the surface, was warm-hearted and protective of his own people; he would never bully his family.

I've really racked my brain, but I can't figure out why.

So my cultivation is still too shallow. Senior Sister just recognized me with a look, leaving me feeling a jumble of emotions. I don't know what to say for a moment.

She quickly regained her composure, letting out a cold laugh. "Heh... Your eyes remind me of someone I know... But don't expect me to let you go because of that. Both of you stay in the water prison and explain yourselves clearly. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer... I'll make sure you never have the chance to speak again."

Water prison

I was carried out by two men, both wearing masks and shirtless, along a increasingly secluded waterside bamboo gallery, to a cave in the back mountain.

There was a pool of water in the cave, and strange chains spread from it to the shore.

"How about we bag you up, tie you to rocks and chains, and send you to the bottom That way, the pain would be short." She said it in a joking tone.

How is this possible She's my senior sister who I studied medicine with since elementary school! A doctor with a kind heart, she has been saying that for so many years, how could she be so cruel

"Wow—" I couldn't help but speak.

But before I could utter a word, the eldest sister gave her orders: "Tie up this paralyzed traitor first. Too many people have come in wanting the essence of jade. She managed to hide for so long, which is quite impressive. Let's feed her to the fish first. There are definitely accomplices. No need to rush, we'll slowly weed them out..."

She spoke each word coldly and cruelly, as if she were used to such scenes.

I can't help it, I want to shout, to scream.

Her gaze then swept over.

That look in his eyes seemed to hold a deeper meaning, and his tone softened: "As for this little girl...she seems to be pregnant How long until she gives birth Well, our BOSS is tired of them all now. Why don't we lock her up and let her give birth"

Holy crap! You recognized me and still dared to talk to me like this

"Throw this woman down!" she pointed at another.

I watched in horror as the woman who was moments ago going to partner with me was stuffed into a burlap sack, weighed down with stones, and lifted into the water, unable to move.

"Wait a minute! Hold on!" I couldn't bear to see such a cruel and deadly thing happening right before my eyes, so I had to act, forgetting about playing dead!

Big Sister narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at me.

"Wait, wait a minute... I'm not on their side."

"Hmph... I didn't intend to kill you, what are you getting so excited about"

"No, no… that... I, I came to look for someone. This group forced me to be cannon fodder, so I came in with them... I can find her accomplices, please don't attack them first, okay" I really didn't know how to save this woman, so I had to find a way to delay the situation.

Brother Xie is still outside, and the young mistress should also come. As long as we delay time, there must be hope.

"...Use this woman as bait to catch the accomplices" The eldest sister narrowed her eyes, pretending to think, and finally nodded. "Alright, I'll hear what secrets you can tell. Take her away."

How do I feel that the eldest sister is acting

Her gaze was off.

Could it be that I'm being too sentimental Do you think Senior Sister still cares about all these years of 師門 affection

I was placed in a dark bamboo hut. But it's alright, darkness doesn't frighten me anymore. It's just that this hut stands alone on the water, with only a floating bridge connecting to the shore. I'm afraid more corpses might suddenly appear in the water.

"Little junior sister, you shouldn't have come."

The elder sister stood by the closed door, speaking in a low voice using our hometown dialect.

Dialect.

She isn't from our hometown, but she has already learned the local dialect.

I tore off my headscarf, desperately suppressing my excitement, and whispered, "What I shouldn't have come! You shouldn't be here! I searched everywhere for you back home! How are you in this place This doesn't look like a respectable establishment at all!"

She smiled faintly. "There are many things you don't know."

"Then tell me! You disappeared without a word! Are you afraid of Big Brother punishing you for helping Ms. Xue abduct me It's not a big crime, is it We could plead for you!"

I stared at her with burning anger, and she looked at me in surprise.

He smiled and shook his head. "Junior sister, you may be willful and naive about the world, but your heart is still kind..."

“What are you saying this for” I asked, puzzled.

She smiled and asked, “Tell me first, why are you here Your husband actually allowed you to run off alone to such a place That’s not right at all.”

This seemed to be directed at me I was taken aback for a moment and couldn't help but reply, "Now that I have no one to rely on, I can only depend on myself."

The eldest sister frowned: "What do you think you can accomplish on your own"

I briefly explained Lu Jie's commission, saying that I had previously agreed to visit her husband at the border to see what was going on.

She listened to the matter, a strange smile on her face: "What's going on Haha... he is the BOSS here, the master of this place, what could possibly happen~~ Little junior sister, do you want to see"

I took a breath and whispered, "See, I can also respond. After all, Sister Lu does know some secrets about our family. If she exposed them, it would cause trouble."

She sneered: "What about your husband"

I pursed my lips and said nothing.

She narrowed her eyes, sizing me up, and then suddenly smiled. "Alright, for the sake of being fellow disciples, I'll take you to see it. Come with me..."testing the Gu poison was from their own clan. The elders didn't want to place the female Gu on an "outsider", so they chose a woman from within their ranks.At that time, Mu Wanchen did not have much...
