Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 402: A couple of weird things keep going (2)
--knock out--
After leaving the inn, Toto walked along the road to the center of the town, thinking that there must be a wine shop there, and drinking a few jars of wine would also quench his thirst!
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.
After a while, he reached the town, but the scene here made him dumbfounded: the road was flat and open, with restaurants and shops on both sides. It seemed that this place had once been very prosperous.
But what Toto saw now was: empty streets, shops with closed doors and windows, and even the various wine flags at the door were in dilapidated condition. There was no sign of prosperity anywhere!
Toto wandered around the street in despair, hoping that there would be a bowl of water for him to drink somewhere!
Suddenly, he saw a man walking out of a wine shop and was about to lock the door.
Toto quickly ran over, took out the money from his arms, and said hurriedly: "Don't close the door, I want to buy wine!"
The man glanced at him in surprise and hurriedly spat: "Go, go, go! There is no wine anywhere, not even a drop of urine!"
Toto held the door and refused to let go, saying angrily: "Your place is obviously a wine shop, how can there be no reason not to sell wine?"
But the man took his hand away and said impatiently: "This used to be a wine shop! It has been abandoned for a long time now. I just came here to tidy it up! Come on, come on, don't stop me from going home for dinner!"
But Toto glared and refused to give up: "Stop talking nonsense! I'm very thirsty now. Find me a glass of water quickly, or I will beat you!" As he said that, he raised his fist and shook it in front of the man's face.
Shake.
The man was not afraid, he just touched the beard on his lips and said jokingly: "You are not a local, aren't you! Don't you know there is a shortage of water here?"
Toto put his hands on his hips and shouted confidently: "I know, but this has nothing to do with whether you sell wine or not!"
The man shook his head and laughed, mocking unceremoniously: "Don't think about it. We don't even have water. How can we make wine? Urine?"
Toto was startled and felt that what he said was reasonable.
But now he was going crazy with hunger and thirst. He finally caught a local man and insisted on forcing him to give him water. He threatened: "I am going to die of thirst now! Either give me water or I will kill you."
Drink your blood!"
The man smiled mockingly, rolled his eyes, and lowered his voice and said, "I'm telling you, go right from here and there's a river about three miles away! Why don't you go drink the river water!".
When Toto heard that there was water to drink, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly let go of the man, turned around and strode away, running towards the river.
But he didn't know that the man looked at his back and said with a smile: "Drink, drink! I'll drink you to death!"
----------------------------------------
After walking for a while, he saw a gurgling river. The water was crystal clear and surrounded by greenery.
Toto's eyes lit up, he ran over quickly, knelt on the ground, held the river water in his hands and put it into his mouth.
After drinking for a long time, Toto drank to his heart's content. Toto lay on the grass by the river and burped comfortably before standing up and striding back. He was going to tell the people at the inn about this water source!
The road from the river to the inn was not that short, and Toto walked for a long time without getting there. He felt that he was suddenly tipsy.
My mind is a little fuzzy and my steps are shaky.
He shook his head and forced himself to stay awake, wondering in his mind: He didn't drink either, so what's the matter with being so drunk?
Finally, he walked to the door of the inn with empty steps, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to step in, he suddenly rolled his eyes and fell to the ground...
——Chishui Sect——
"Run away! Get out of here while you can still escape!"
Yu Fengjin's anxious voice suddenly appeared in his ears, followed by his solemn face.
"What's going on?" Lu Ning waited for him and asked in confusion.
"Don't ask so many questions! Trust me, leave here quickly and go back to southern Xinjiang!" Yu Fengjin suddenly grabbed her shoulders and her tone became increasingly urgent.
"Why should I believe you! You've been lying to me all this time!" Lu Ning raised his head stubbornly, his face full of anger.
"This time...this time I won't lie to you again! If you don't leave here, you will
I will regret it for the rest of my life..." Yu Fengjin's face suddenly showed a sad expression.
But before Lu Ning could figure out the meaning behind his expression, she felt that the whole world was shaking, and she began to shake violently.
"Miss Deer! Miss Deer! Wake up!" An anxious voice came from my ears.
All consciousness returned one by one, and Lu Ning realized that she was actually dreaming. She slowly opened her eyes, and Liu Changting's handsome face came into view.
She frowned: "Why is it you?"
Liu Changting lowered his voice and said seriously: "We were drugged last night and tied here! Look quickly to see if there are any injuries on your body. Is there anything wrong?"
Hearing this, Lu Ning was suddenly startled. She opened her eyes wide and looked around: she saw that she was tied up all over and locked in an empty room.
The room was extremely dark, with no windows and the door was closed.
While struggling, she said in panic: "What's going on? Why are we tied up? Where are we?"
But Liu Changting shook his head and sighed: "I just woke up too. I only remember that after arriving at the inn, I went to bed directly, and I was here as soon as I woke up! I don't remember anything in between!"
He didn't tell her that he was looking for her, for fear that she would be too worried.
Lu Ning was startled and said in shock: "Misated smoke! Someone smoked the misty smoke for us to make us sleepy!"
While she was talking, she saw Mu Qianqian who was still sleeping next to her, so she quickly kicked her: "Qianqian! Wake up!"
After a while, Mu Qianqian murmured: "Xiao Rong'er, don't make trouble!"
Immediately, she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the surrounding situation clearly, she immediately exclaimed: "What's going on? Aren't we at the inn? Why are we here? Where is this? Why are you tying me up?"
Liu Changting quickly "shushed" and said comfortingly: "Don't shout yet! Check to see if you are injured first. Lu Ning is a strong martial artist, we can find a way to untie her first and let her go out to find someone for help!"
When the two women heard this, they slowly calmed down.
Lu Ning checked himself and whispered: "There should be no injuries, but...my whole body is sore and numb, and I can't exert any strength. It seems that I have been drugged. Even if I loosen the rope, I won't be able to resist...
"
Mu Qianqian also pursed her lips and said dejectedly: "I'm the same way, let alone Kung Fu, I'm afraid I won't even be able to use Qing Gong!"
Liu Changting sighed and asked tentatively: "I heard that Miss Lu has some medical skills. Now that I know they used smoke, is there any way to detoxify this poison?"
Lu Ning's Emei frowned slightly and shook his head in embarrassment: "Although I know medicine, I don't know how to detoxify it. If the master is here, I won't be able to trouble him."
Unexpectedly, when the two of them turned around, they saw that Mu Qianqian had broken free from the rope.
Lu Ning was startled and looked at Liu Changting: She is indeed a master thief! No rope can trap her!
Mu Qianqian quickly untied Lu Ning and Liu Changting. The three of them stood up unsteadily and found that they had no strength in their bodies and could not walk a few steps at all.
The three of them helped each other and walked to the door, already dripping with sweat.
Just when he took a breath, he suddenly heard the sound of the door lock being opened. Liu Changting didn't think much, and immediately spread his arms to block the two girls behind him, staring at the door warily.
The door was opened and strong sunlight came in. The three people's eyes were stung and they turned away one after another.
After a while, he turned around again and saw several expressionless people wearing yellow trousers walking through the door. They subdued the three of them in a few seconds.
Mu Qianqian struggled and screamed: "Who are you and why are you arresting us? Let us go!"
But Liu Changting calmed down and tried to deal with them: "What do you want from kidnapping us? We can sit down and talk! If you want money or power, I can satisfy you! As long as it does not harm our lives, I will immediately send someone to arrest us.
Bring me the wealth you want!"
Lu Ning was startled and looked at Liu Changting. She felt that the person in front of her seemed to be very different from the flower picker before. His conversation and behavior were inexplicably familiar.
But now that things have come to a point, she is not allowed to think too much.
Because the few people in yellow don’t seem to understand anything, like walking zombies
Usually, three people are pushed out the door.
The three of them struggled desperately, but could not break free. They could only let them drag them away.
After walking a few steps, the two girls were taken in another direction.
Liu Changting struggled to stop and asked eagerly: "Hey! Where are you taking them?"
However, the two men in yellow still didn't respond at all, as if they didn't understand him at all.
Lu Ning had never felt so helpless. She couldn't help but look back at Liu Changting, with a panicked look on her face.
Liu Changting was anxious but could do nothing. He could only shout loudly: "Miss Lu, protect yourself! No matter what, your life is the most important, don't think about anything else!"
Lu Ning bit her lip and nodded, and soon she and Mu Qianqian disappeared from Liu Changting's eyes.
Liu Changting knew that he couldn't escape, so he stopped struggling. He allowed them to escort him forward, but he wanted to conserve his strength and find a suitable opportunity to escape again!
After a while, he was taken to a courtyard decorated with carved beams and painted beams and hung with colorful silks.
After entering, we saw dozens of people in yellow uniforms lined up neatly in two lines, all the way from the gate to the waterside pavilion on the central lake.
Half of the waterside pavilion is close to the water, and half is leaning on the bank. The red tiles and pink walls set off the pink willows and green trees on the bank, and the river light and tree shadows give it a unique charm.
A pink gauze curtain hangs on the arch of the leaky window, hiding a looming woman sitting by the window.
Sitting on a pear-shaped chair in the middle of the waterside pavilion was a woman in a green dress. She covered her mouth and nose with a white sari, revealing only a pair of charming eyes, and a piece of vermilion flower patch on her forehead.
As soon as the masked woman saw Liu Changting, her eyes suddenly lit up, with joy, surprise and greed in her eyes.
