Chapter 110: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 110: Successful Escape (Part 1)
Night fell, and the moon rose high in the sky.
After the previous meal was spilled, Skinny guy prepared some steamed buns and porridge and brought them to the iron door. He knocked on the door with an iron spoon and shouted, "Hurry up and eat. After you finish, I'll let you out."
Mo Yan and two other girls took the porridge and steamed buns from the door crack little by little, making chewing sounds as if they were eating. After Skinny guy left, they all poured the food into the corner. After a while, they put the bowls back one by one.
"After a while, we'll pretend to be unconscious. Whoever comes in, we'll knock them out first."
In the darkness, Mo Yan cautioned the others carefully, repeating the plan for what to do next. After ensuring that nothing was overlooked, she finally felt relieved.
Every step was carefully calculated. Given the greed of the kidnappers, they wouldn't just stand by and watch all of them get infected with smallpox and die. So tonight, those who hadn't been "infected" would definitely be moved elsewhere.
To prevent their own people from being infected, they would only send one person to do the job. The best way was to knock them all out. There was no problem with tonight's porridge and steamed buns; she wouldn't believe it even if they killed her.
Almost a quarter of an hour passed, and the eighteen people lay on the ground according to the plan. Mo Yan lay next to the steps, with another girl in front of her.
The night was quiet, and not long after, Mo Yan heard footsteps, one person's footsteps.
Skinny guy stopped outside for a while, listening intently. Seeing that there was no sound coming from the previously noisy dungeon, he took out the key and unlocked the big lock with a click, then pushed open the iron door and walked in.
Listening to the approaching footsteps, Mo Yan nervously pressed her right hand against her heart, ready to draw the sword from the space. The sword was left by Xiao Ruiyuan earlier and had been stored in the space. She never expected to be able to use it.
Skinny guy descended the steps with an oil lamp. Seeing a person lying horizontally on the ground, he brought the lamp closer. Seeing that there were no signs of smallpox or fever on her face, he placed the lamp on the ground and squatted down to lift her onto his shoulders.
With his back turned, it was the perfect opportunity!
Mo Yan quickly took out the sword from the space and held it against Skinny guy's neck before he could react. The sharp blade carried a chilling intent, causing Skinny guy's words to choke in his throat.
"Dare to make a sound, and I'll cut your throat!" Mo Yan threatened coldly. Then, she instructed the others who had already stood up, "Quickly gag him and tie him up."
"Oh, okay!"
Although these girls were a bit slow in reacting, they immediately took action upon hearing Mo Yan's words. They stuffed a prepared cloth ball into Skinny's mouth and used ropes made of cloth strips to tie his hands and feet.
The cloth ball was made from the socks on their feet, and the cloth was torn from their clothes.
Fortunately, they had rehearsed beforehand, so the two responsible for helping others weren't too flustered. Skinny guy soon became a bundle, lying on the ground unable to move, only staring at Mo Yan and the others with hatred, wishing he could devour them.
Mo Yan sneered, and with a forceful wrist, a blood mark appeared on Skinny's neck. "Behave yourself, don't think I won't dare to kill you!"
Feeling the pain in his neck, Skinny's eyes were filled with fear as he met Mo Yan's icy gaze. He believed that this grim reaper could do whatever she said.
Seeing that he finally behaved, Mo Yan personally checked again to make sure the ropes wouldn't loosen before sighing in relief, but the sword blade didn't leave his neck.
"Speak, where have you kept the children you've captured?"
Speak? You just gagged him...
