Adoption brings disaster

When I saw the bandits, I had some guesses in my mind. I asked the secret guards to keep their troops in place and let the monkeys defeat Wuxin Wude and Xiao Gao. I was also captured by the bandits.

As expected, these bandits didn't do anything to us, they just locked us up.

When I woke up in a daze, I was in a cellar.

The cellar was not very solid, and there was light coming in from above. Although the light was not strong, ordinary people would not be able to see clearly. But for those of us who had practiced martial arts, we could see the cellar clearly.

There was a strange smell in the cellar, the earthy smell of soil mixed with the smell of something moldy, a hint of fruit fragrance mixed with the stench of feces and urine in the corner, making the turbid air even more unpleasant, almost suffocating.

Wu Xin saw me covering my nose, looking extremely uncomfortable, so he quickly tore off a piece of clothing and handed it to me, saying, "This cloth is made from special herbs. It's fireproof and poison-proof. Dean, please use it. It can also block out the stench in this cellar."

When I saw it, I quickly took it and covered my nose with it.

This fabric is quite peculiar. I've seen Wuxin wearing it every day for a while, both for making medicine and for seeing doctors. Apart from the aroma of herbs, there's no other smell at all.

This fabric not only has a pleasant smell, but is also very breathable. I covered my nose tightly with the cloth, but I could still breathe smoothly, as if the cloth did not exist.

Now that I could breathe more comfortably, I had some free time to carefully examine the cellar.

There were more than just a few of us in the cellar. We occupied a corner. Xiao Gao and Wu Xinwu De formed a triangle to protect me in the middle, and A Da stood in the front, like a door god.

In the other corners, there were people like us, sitting or standing in groups of three or four, chatting about something.

The cellar is not big. I counted the number of people in the cellar carefully and found that there were as many as sixteen. Most of them were dressed like martial artists. There was only one girl who was dressed brightly, which made her look a little different.

There was a staircase on one side of the cellar, and there was a cover leading up to the stairs. The cover was made very roughly, and the sunlight from outside shone through the gaps in the cover, actually illuminating a small part of the area below the stairs.

There was a large stone pressing on the lid. Looking at such a crudely made lid, I thought that the stone couldn't be very heavy, otherwise the lid would have collapsed long ago.

Besides, these bandits have no martial arts skills at all, so they can't carry heavy stones.

I looked at them carefully, thinking about the possibility of getting out by killing the general, but seeing other martial artists covered in dust and sitting there sulking with resentment on their faces, I thought getting out would not be that easy.

Thinking of this, I continued to observe carefully and saw several wooden boxes under the stairs.

The stairs were blocked, with little light and very dark, so others couldn't see clearly. However, I had practiced the White Rat Magical Skill, and my eyesight was considered top-notch in the martial arts world, so I could see clearly.

I only took a quick glance and found something interesting inside. But I didn't say anything, instead I looked at the gorgeous woman.

No one knew whether the woman was afraid of what everyone would do to her or for some other reason, but she hid in the corner alone, looking around in fear like a poor kitten.

When she saw me looking at her, her eyes lit up with joy, as if she had seen a savior, and she walked over quickly.

The woman bowed and said gently, "Sir, I am alone and very frightened. I beg you to have pity on me and allow me to stay with you."

I was just about to nod in agreement, but Wude got anxious and was about to draw his sword to chase him away.

When the woman saw the cold sword, she was so scared that she hid back. But when she saw the people around her who were eyeing her covetously, she had no choice but to look at me bravely, begging me to take her in with earnest eyes.

Wu Xin saw that the woman was not leaving and was still flirting with me, so he became even more furious and cursed, "Get out, get out, get out now! You are a prostitute who has come from nowhere and dares to come and talk to my dean. You are really asking for your own death. If you don't get out, I will not be polite to you."

I looked at the sword in Wude's hand, stunned for a moment, and said, "These bandits are so arrogant that they didn't even surrender our weapons?"

Wu Xin saw that I was puzzled and explained: "The magic weapon has spirits. If someone else took it, they would definitely be injured by the magic weapon. These bandits should not have taken our weapons. Besides..."

Wu Xin sighed and added, "Besides, the lid is soaked with herbs. Anyone who tries to get out through it will faint. Whether we have weapons or not is not a very important matter to them."

After listening to Wuxin's explanation, I understood. No wonder such a small piece of stone could trap so many martial artists with great martial arts skills.

I was talking to Wuxin, but the woman didn't leave. Wude lost his patience when he saw this and slashed with his sword, cutting off the woman's earrings. He cursed, "If you don't get out of here, the next sword strike won't be for your earrings, but for your neck."

The woman was frightened by Wude's sudden attack and wanted to leave, but then she looked at the people around her and finally said with difficulty, "I have no other delusion, but I just saw that you gentlemen are so extraordinary and wanted to seek your protection. I hope you gentlemen will consider that I am alone and give me some convenience."

"We're all in trouble, so it's not a question of who's protecting whom." I made room for him and gestured for him to come in. "This place isn't mine, so you can stay wherever you want. Please feel free."

The woman was delighted to see that I agreed. She carefully walked around Wude and stood timidly beside me. She looked so weak and frail, and was so pitiful and adorable.

Wu De saw the woman standing beside me, pulling out and putting the sword in her hand back and forth, muttering to herself.

I was getting annoyed by what I heard, so I yelled, "Don't draw your sword, it's too noisy."

Wu De still looked unhappy, but there was a difference between high and low, and he couldn't be angry with me, so he could only put away his sword, sulk by himself, and not mention it.

Wu De was no longer making noise here, but strange noises were heard around him, and a gurgling sound could be heard from time to time.

I felt a little annoyed when I heard this sound. When I listened carefully, I found that it came from the woman's stomach.

"I'm so sorry for disturbing you." The woman blushed and said in a low voice with her head down.

"You know you're making noise, why don't you just go away? Why are you staying here and annoying others?" Wu De took the opportunity to mock him.

I glared at Wude, then turned to the woman and said gently, "I don't know how long we've been locked up. It's normal to be hungry. Don't worry about it, young lady."

Seeing how considerate I was, the woman hurried to thank me.

I waved my hand to indicate that it was nothing to worry about, then smiled and said, "People say that if you divert your attention, you won't feel hungry anymore. If you don't mind, we can chat."

After hearing this, the woman looked up and stared at me for a long while with shining eyes, and then she said shyly, "Sir, I have no way to repay your kindness in protecting me."

The next sentence she said might be that she would only be able to promise me her body. My heart tightened and I quickly stopped her from saying the next word, saying, "Miss, you were going to Bodhi Temple to pay homage. How could you take this road and get caught by these bandits?"

"Sir, I am an elder of the Divine Sword Sect. Several younger members of the sect disobeyed their master's orders and sneaked down the mountain. I am here to find them. We in the Divine Sword Sect do not go into the martial arts world, so we don't know where to find these two children. I heard that Bodhi Temple is holding a martial arts conference, so I thought I would try my luck there." said the woman.

When Wuxin and the other four behind me heard the words "Divine Sword Sect", they felt nervous and immediately came over quietly. I put my hands behind my back, signaling them not to alert the enemy.

"We are new to the world and don't know much about it, otherwise we could help the girl find someone." I said apologetically.

The woman smiled and said, "No one in my sect stirs up trouble. These two children must have been blinded by the glamorous world of Jianghu and don't want to go back. Don't worry, sir. I'll slowly look for them and I'll find them eventually."

I nodded and continued chatting with the woman, trying to get some information out of her.

But the Divine Sword Sect is secretive, and no one in the martial arts world knows about it. We cannot verify anything this woman said. Moreover, the more she talked, the closer she got to me. Now she is almost leaning on my arms.

I didn't dare let her lean on my arms, so I quickly pointed to the bottom of the stairs and said, "There seems to be something under the stairs, it looks like some fruit."

Hearing about the fruit, the woman excitedly looked down the stairs, but her eyesight was poor and she could only see something under the stairs, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Seeing how eager the girl was for the fruit, I instructed her, "Little girl with high heels, go and take a look. If it's really fruit, bring some over for us to see."

Xiao Gao took the order and went to check under the stairs with the woman. I whispered to A Da, "If there is anything wrong with the fruit later, please clean it up." After saying that, I made a gesture of wiping my neck.

Killing people and burying bodies is Ah Da's forte. He made two mistakes in a row, and now is the time for him to show off. When he heard what I said, he immediately stared at the woman with cold eyes, ready to kill her silently at any time.

"It's really fruit." The woman opened the box under the stairs and exclaimed excitedly.

When everyone heard the woman's exclamation, they all gathered around her impatiently. The woman did not hide anything and decisively distributed the fruits to everyone, letting others pick first. These people were not polite and soon picked the good ones away.

Xiao Gao was so angry when he saw the small sour fruit inside. If I hadn't stopped him with my eyes, he would have started fighting with them.

After everyone had divided the fruit, the woman happily returned holding the fruits that had been picked. She handed me the best one and said with a smile, "Sir, this is something I secretly hid for you. Please try it and see if it tastes good."

Xiao Gao was so angry at these green tea words that his face turned grim. He couldn't help but curse, "We found these things, so we should have taken them first. Why do we need to do something sneaky like hiding them?"

Seeing this, I also gently scolded Xiao Gao, then took the fruit from the woman's hand and said, "This fruit looks delicious. Xiao Gao, you have worked hard, you can eat it."

Then he picked up a fruit at random, rubbed it on his body and started eating.

My action frightened Xiao Gao, who quickly handed the fruit to me respectfully and said, "Master, I have overstepped my bounds. Please punish me."

"I told you not to eat it. This is presumptuous. Eat the fruit quickly."

Seeing that I didn't seem to be speaking in anger, Xiao Gao could only eat the fruit carefully as if he were eating poison.

I picked up the rest of the fruits and distributed them to Wuxin and the other two, then gestured to Ada to start.

Ah Da learned martial arts in battles. Every move he made was aimed at killing people, so he was naturally professional.

It seemed that Ada had lost his balance and fell towards the woman, then he bumped into Xiaoda and immediately stood firm again.

During the whole process, he didn't touch the woman at all, but after a while, the woman fell straight down.

The fallen woman stirred up a lot of dust and made a clanging sound, which scared everyone and made them look over.

I signaled Wuxin with my eyes, and Wuxin immediately squatted down and said in horror: "She, she, she is dead." Then he threw the fruit in his hand far away.

Wude and the other three followed suit and threw the fruit away in fear, then shouted, "This fruit is poisonous."

Among the few people, the one who pretended to be wicked was the most. He squatted on the ground and shivered. I accidentally touched him and he burst into tears and hugged me. He looked so pitiful.

But Wu De didn't hold me for long, my stomach started churning again, rushing straight to my anus. I pushed him away and rushed to the toilet in the corner. A Da also rushed over and stood in front of the toilet, acting as a human barrier.

When everyone saw that one of us had died and another was about to collapse from diarrhea, they all threw the fruit far away, as if they were afraid that they would be poisoned if they touched the fruit.

This group of people even stayed away from me, as if my shit was poisonous. It was a good thing that way, at least no one would watch me having diarrhea.

I was sitting on the toilet, not daring to get down. Wuxin saw this and suggested, "There are a few acupuncture points that can stop diarrhea. Your Highness, would you like me to help you?"

I naturally knew why I had diarrhea, so I didn't want to waste my time and effort, so I said weakly, "Don't bother, it's useless."

Although Wuxin didn't know why I was so sure it was useless, he still obeyed orders and stood beside me as a guard. Let's not mention it.

After sitting on the toilet for half an hour, I thought it should be about time. Sure enough, after a while, I no longer felt anything and seemed to be fully recovered.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
