Chapter 130 Cousin
Chapter 130 Cousin
Wen Yan let him worry about it and then observed the dungeon.
There was an earthen wall behind this place, and the wood in front was stuck in the ground. Wen Yan tried to push it and fiddled with the chain on it.
Very heavy.
"Yang Mu, how did you get locked up before?" Wen Yan asked.
Yang Mu sat on the chair and sighed. In front of him was a piece of white paper without a trace of ink. "That day I received an invitation from Penglai Academy to come here to study. I agreed without even thinking about it."
"After I came here, the Liao family father and son welcomed me very much. I thought they were just cherishing my talent, but I didn't expect that within a few days, they revealed their true colors. When I woke up one day, I was already here."
"They told me that the previous case leader Liu was also here, but he couldn't write anything even though he was the case leader. Now his fate is to be a beggar outside, fighting with dogs for food, and his hands will be chopped off, so he will never be able to hold a pen again."
"Then they locked me up in this place, only delivering two meals a day to me and requiring me to write something down every day, or they would stop feeding me and not allow me to see anyone."
Wen Yan nodded slightly, "It's about the same as what the boss and I guessed."
"Aunt Wen, I resisted before, but when they saw that I didn't write anything, they extinguished all the candles here. It was pitch black. I only lasted two days before I couldn't stand it anymore... I, Yang Mu, have read so many books by sages. I also want to learn from them and never give in, but it's too dark here. It's really too scary..."
As Yang Mu spoke, he huddled in his chair with his arms folded, looking crazy.
Wen Yan quickly spoke up to distract him: "When will they deliver the food?"
Yang Mu: "It should be in the morning and at noon. We have delivered it twice now. They won't come again at night."
"That's good." Wen Yan's overly calm look made Yang Mu unable to help but glance sideways.
He couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Wen, do you have any idea?"
Wen Yan glanced at him and then took a few steps back. She was very strong, especially in her legs.
He gathered his strength, took a run-up, and then kicked the wooden wall that was almost as thick as his thigh.
Yang Mu's pupils trembled, and when he heard a slight sound of wood breaking in the air, he doubted his eyes even more.
How come such a thick wooden stake got deformed?
Even Wen Yan, whose body had been baptized by the spiritual spring water for such a long time, couldn't help but relax for a long time, and her legs were numb from the shock.
Then, come the second kick.
The third leg.
By the third kick, the wooden stake could no longer hold on and broke.
Wen Yan made a space for her to pass through and continued to observe the area. "Yang Mu, is the key in their hands or is it here?"
Yang Mu lay on the cell door and looked at Wen Yan, "I don't know, and no one will open the door for me, so I don't know where the key is."
Wen Yan looked around but didn't find the key, but Yang Mu was still inside.
Especially the child was looking at her eagerly, but she was already holding on. If her foot happened again, she would probably have to lie down for a while.
Suddenly, Wen Yan thought of the housekeeper.
He said to Yang Mu, "Wait here for a while."
Then he walked through the upward staircase he had just seen. This staircase was about one floor high. Wen Yan did not dare to go out, fearing that someone would be guarding outside. Therefore, he only walked here and then brought the housekeeper out.
"Butler, you should be stronger than me?" Wen Yan asked.
The housekeeper said honestly: "I don't know."
Wen Yan just asked casually, with the housekeeper's physique, isn't he stronger than her? Anyway, let's try it first. Even if he really doesn't have much strength, the combined strength of two people is better than one person.
Yang Mu didn't dare to move his eyes at all, for fear that Wen Yan was lying to him.
But fortunately, Wen Yan was out for only a short while and came back immediately, with a man who looked very strong beside her.
"Aunt Wen! Who is this?"
"My...cousin, you can just call him Fifth Uncle."
Yang Mu's eyes lit up again and again, his face was squeezed against the door and deformed, "Fifth Uncle! Save me!"
The housekeeper walked over and glanced at Wen Yan, "Master..."
"Ahem...cousin, just break this open."
"Okay." The housekeeper paused and said, "Cousin."
Wen Yan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body. It was probably the first time in the world that she had ever been on such a close terms with a puppet.
The butler was very strong. It took Wen Yan three kicks to break a pillar, but the butler only needed to use his hands to hold it. His hands seemed to have infinite power, and the wood was squeezed crooked in his hands.
Yang Mu swallowed his saliva and asked Wen Yan quietly: "Aunt Wen, your cousin... is so fierce."
Then he widened his eyes and gave a thumbs up.
Wen Yan was also a little surprised. She had expected the housekeeper to be very strong, but she didn't expect him to be this strong.
Yang Mu came out of the dungeon, and suddenly he seemed to have endless energy all over his body. He hugged the housekeeper tightly: "Thank you! Fifth Uncle! From now on, you will be my dear Fifth Uncle!"
"Don't be too happy too soon, we are still in prison." Wen Yan poked his head, "We have to go out and meet Dong Ling as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Yang Mu shouted enthusiastically, but then he felt something was wrong, "Aunt Wen, but there are so many of them, can we really escape?"
Wen Yan thought that they should first determine where this place is. "We'll go there later. You wait downstairs for a while. Come over after we check that there's no one there."
"it is good."
But before they could go up, thick smoke rolled in from outside.
Wen Yan thought to herself, "What's going on?"
Without bothering to hide, Wen Yan pushed away the wooden board in front of her, and then was choked by the thick smoke and started coughing.
Suddenly his eyes fell on a figure lying on the ground, "Dong Ling! Why are you here!"
Wen Yan ran over quickly. There was a wound on Wan Dongling's forehead and she was bleeding. Wen Yan pinched her face and shook her, "Dongling, are you okay?"
Wan Dongling opened her eyes, obviously forcing herself to wake up, "Mom, help me..."
"Mom will save you. Now don't talk and save your energy. I will take you out right away."
Wan Dongling shook her head slightly: "No, mother, please save these books... We can't let these crazy people destroy so many rare books..."
After saying that, Wan Dongling fainted again.
Wen Yan used her vitality to check the wounds on her body. After confirming that she was not seriously injured, she entrusted her to the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, take the two of them and escape first. Let's go to the place where we changed our costumes today."
The butler took the order and left.
Wen Yan knocked Yang Mu unconscious, saving the trouble of explaining.
Then he looked at the library in front of him.
The dungeon was hidden in the library. Who could have guessed that in a place where thousands of books were stored, there was such a despicable thing hidden underground.
Wen Yan didn't recognize the unique books, and didn't know which ones Wan Dongling was talking about, so she simply put all the books into the space. Then she escaped in the increasingly fierce fire. As expected, such a big thing happened here, and the fire was so big, but no one came.
