I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Xu Kong Nan snorted coldly, his icy eyes sweeping over the other party.

Erhu suddenly felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as if a cold wind was blowing through his entire body.

This made him unconsciously lower his head even further, fearing that his elder brother would get angry.

Xu Kong Nan slowly walked up to the group.

However, it's more accurate to say that it floated over than that it walked.

Fang Xiaoxiao saw it clearly and wondered if this guy was a ghost? How come his feet don't touch the ground when he walks?

But strangely, judging from the other person's complexion, their eyes were lifeless and bloodshot, and their face was as pale as a white cloth. In this condition, let alone walking, even breathing should be quite difficult.

But this guy could get off the ground and walk so fast, which shocked her worldview.

Xu Kongnan squatted down, stretched out his hand, which was so white that even women would be jealous, and touched Fang Xiaoxiao's cheek, who was lying on the ground in front of him.

"This woman is stunningly beautiful, and her body exudes a faint fragrance. She is truly a rare beauty."

"If it were handed over to the master, it would surely be excellent."

As he spoke, he chopped Fang Xiaoxiao in the neck with a chop, knocking her unconscious, and then ordered his men to lock her up.

When Erhu saw the duck about to fly away, his face turned extremely ugly, and he gripped the nine-ringed longsword in his hand tightly.

Xu Kongnan sensed a chilling aura beside him, but he paid no attention and simply said softly.

"What, you want to have a match with me?"

Erhu was startled, took two steps back, and lowered his head without saying a word.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say yes, but rather that, in terms of strength, there was a significant gap between him and his opponent.

If it were a contest of strength, he believed he was no less than his opponent, but he dared not.

This Void South wasn't actually his own elder brother; he had appeared out of nowhere.

When the other party came to their place, his elder brother fought against the other party, and even though he joined forces with him, he was defeated.

Fortunately, he recognized the situation and knelt down to kowtow and admit his mistake.

But the eldest brother lacked the courage and insisted on fighting the other side, ultimately ending up with no remains.

He still vividly remembers the scene of his elder brother's tragic death, and the thought of it always makes him tremble with fear.

Xu Kongnan instructed everyone to intensify their patrols and warned them not to be negligent in any way, or they would be punished according to family rules. Then he went back to his room.

Erhu and the others were left standing in the courtyard.

At this moment, a younger brother came over, wanting to stand up for his elder brother.

"Brother Tiger, what is this Void South anyway? How dare he order us around!"

The two tigers were about to speak when they told him to keep quiet.

But suddenly he felt a gust of wind brush against his cheek.

"Whoosh!"

After that sound of something cutting through the air.

The underling didn't even utter a sound before he fell straight to the ground.

Look at the spot on his forehead, there's only a tiny, pinprick-sized blood hole.

Everyone present was surprised.

Only Erhu knew that this was Xukong Nan's doing.

He turned to look at his younger brother.

"Bury the person, and don't talk nonsense again."

"Remember, you just need to do your job well!"

The crowd nodded and dispersed.

……

Fang Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes. Just now, she had been struck on the neck by the pale-faced man and had lost consciousness.

She could still feel the soreness in her neck, and she subconsciously massaged it with her hand.

Fortunately, it's nothing serious; just massage it a bit more and it'll be fine.

At this moment, she looked around and realized that she was surrounded by a prison cell.

Behind them crouched many women, their faces filled with terror, some even with vacant eyes, their clothes tattered and torn.

Even the prison cell was filled with filth and stench.

This must be the place He Jinnian was investigating!

Just then, a little boy dressed in tattered clothes and covered in dirt walked out from behind the iron fence.

Fang Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that the child's nostrils had been cut off, leaving only two holes.

His eyes were filled with terror, and he was holding several steamed buns in his hands.

The little boy walked to the iron fence, squatted down, and waved a steamed bun at her, as if he wanted her to take it.

Fang Xiao smiled and waved her hand, indicating that she wasn't hungry.

But the woman behind her started to move.

They were like hungry wolves, reaching out to snatch the steamed bun from the boy's hand.

In an instant, the five steamed buns were taken away by the seven women.

The little boy was left with a helpless expression.

Fang Xiaoxiao walked up to the child and asked.

"Were those people the ones who did your nose job?"

She looked at the boy's young face; he was thin as a rake, looking like he had been malnourished for a long time.

The little boy nodded, and then made an "ah ah ah" sound from his throat.

Dumb!

Fang Xiaoxiao was startled and stared at his wide-open mouth again.

It was shocking to discover that most of the boy's tongue had been cut off, which looked quite frightening.

These beasts not only traffic in people, but they also use such cruel methods that they don't even spare children.

As the little boy spoke, he took out a dusty white steamed bun from his pocket, wiped it with his sleeve, and handed it to her through the iron fence.

"Uh-huh!"

"You're going to give it to me?"

"Uh-huh."

"No, no, you keep it for yourself, I'm not hungry."

Fang Xiaoxiao waved her hands repeatedly.

The little boy grunted twice but did not take the steamed bun back from his hand.

But the next second, the group of women rushed over again, knocking Fang Xiaoxiao aside.

The little boy tried to pull his hand back, but it was too late; the steamed bun was snatched away again.

This time, however, the group of women started fighting amongst themselves.

When Fang Xiaoxiao saw this, she tried to stop it, but found it was no use.

Helpless, she could only first look at the little boy's scratched hand.

The boy had many scratches on his arm, which were bleeding.

She pulled off a section of her clothing, lifted it up, and bandaged it to prevent infection.

Those people were really something, fighting over a steamed bun was one thing, but they were so ruthless.

The little boy smiled at her, as if to say thank you.

Fang Xiaoxiao waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need it.

Just then, the pale-faced man she had just seen walked down the corridor.

The other person still gave off the feeling of being about to die, and walked as if floating.

The boy from the Void Southwards waved his hand.

The boy lowered his head, uttered two soft "ahs," and got up to leave.

Fang Xiaoxiao felt a strong aversion to the person in front of her.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me and the people behind me?"

"Don't you know this is illegal? Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?"

Her barrage of questions only earned her a mocking laugh from Xu Kong Nan.

"The law? Beheading?"

"How ridiculous! Who in the world would dare to do such a thing? I, Xu Kong Nan, have never taken them seriously."

"On the contrary, why are you here in this desolate wilderness!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Xiaoxiao blurted out that she would go everywhere to collect herbs.

Xu Kongnan shook his head in response.

"Gathering herbs? That's ridiculous. This is an abandoned mine; where would you find herbs?"

"When they found you, they didn't see any herbs in your bamboo basket."

"Tell me who you are and whether you have any accomplices."

She hadn't expected that this guy would notice something was wrong with him so quickly.
