Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

The light in the sky gradually faded away.

Darkness and coldness descend.

A withered tree and an old crow circled it, cawing mournfully.

Li Yuzhi spread dry grass at the base of the wall and looked back at the alley entrance that was no longer clearly visible.

"What, none of them are back?"

She began to feel uneasy.

Sang Ning wandered around the area again and found a plant on the barren, cracked land.

Cnidium monnieri.

Perhaps because it is poisonous, no one picks it.

However, this is also a medicinal herb, mainly used to treat vaginal itching and leukorrhea, eczema, and lower back pain.

As long as the poisonous seeds are cleaned out, they can be used in cold dishes or soups.

This is the side dish for the big black carp tonight!

She had just returned with the vegetables when she heard a pitiful cry.

"Narcissus! Tell me quickly! What happened?! Where are Xiaoya and your third sister-in-law?!" the eldest sister-in-law shouted anxiously.

The two little girls were so frightened that they cried.

The old lady, while trying to soothe the child, was also exasperated: "Narcissus, calm down! Where are they?"

But Yun Shuixian was trembling all over, looking like she was about to faint, and crying so hard she could barely breathe.

"They...they...waaaaah..."

Before anyone knew it, Huo Chang'an had already climbed over.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, veins bulging, as he roared like thunder at Yun Shuixian.

"Stop crying! Where is it?!"

A man's voice is different from a woman's soft, delicate voice. He had drunk the spiritual spring water and regained some strength. So his shout was deafening, immediately stopping Yun Shuixian from crying.

His eyes were blank and he looked like he was terrified, staring blankly at Huo Chang'an.

Only the tears in her eyes continued to fall as if they were free.

It glided over a face cleaner than anyone else's here.

Hearing the sound, Du Shan also walked over cautiously.

Sang Ning stepped forward and slapped Yun Shuixian hard across the face.

Yun Shuixian screamed and fell to the ground, covering her face in disbelief as she looked at Sang Ning.

"Are you out of your mind? Speak!"

His voice was firm and resounding, just like the cold, stern expression he had when he rebuked the yamen runners.

Full of resilience and courage.

Yun Shuixian felt as if she were facing a superior who held the power of life and death, and blurted out, "In the southwest corner, we encountered three men..."

Sang Ning and the others initially thought that Li Chang and Hu Si had another bad idea, but they never expected it to be like this.

Sang Ning knew the situation in this town; it had been suffering from a long drought, and nothing grew there.

Two frail women ended up in the hands of three men who had been starving for a long time... It's unimaginable.

“Untie my shackles,” she said to Dushan.

His eyes held a fierce glint, like a wolf about to go into battle.

Du Shan was surprised that such an imposing aura could be found in a teenage girl, but he didn't hesitate and immediately unlocked the door.

Sang Ning grabbed the iron chain and ran.

Du Shan followed closely behind.

After being frightened, Li Yuzhi was trembling all over and was about to follow.

"Sister-in-law! Here!"

Huo Chang'an pulled out a piece of tile with a sharpened tip from somewhere and handed it over.

Li Yuzhi had no time to think about how he hid it. She took it haphazardly and ran away with unsteady steps.

Huo Chang'an dug his hands into the ground, his eyes blazing with hatred.

kill!

Want to kill someone!

“Aunt…” Yun Shuixian’s face swelled up rapidly, and she looked at the old lady with teary eyes.

But the old lady, who always doted on her the most, didn't even look at her. She held the two children tightly and stared intently at the houses of varying heights.

In fact, from the moment they embarked on their journey of exile, the old lady never imagined that her entire family would be able to reach Liangzhou together.

She was prepared for this.

But when the moment actually came, she found it truly hard to accept.

Will she save them?

At this moment, the old lady placed all her hopes on Sang Ning.

The decisive slap Sang Ning delivered just now, and the shocking sound, reminded her of the Marquis issuing military orders back then.

Yes, yes, they will be saved.

The old lady felt a little more at ease.

*

From the town's only two-story restaurant came a woman's curses and screams.

Sang Ning stomped her foot towards the gate.

The door was made of heavy solid wood and had a reverse latch; with her strength, it was impossible for her to kick it open.

Fortunately, she spends a lot of time outdoors and has good rock climbing skills.

With a flick of the chain, it swished onto the carvings on the wall, and then, stepping on the door bolt, leaped onto the wall.

In the courtyard, a large pot was set up, with flames roaring beneath it.

Inside the pot sat Huo Jingya, bound hand and foot.

At that moment, her hair was disheveled, and she was crying and cursing like a madwoman.

After cursing, he desperately cried for help.

"Go ahead and curse! No one can save you! Hehe! I'm going to roast you like a suckling pig, I'm going to roast you until the bones fall off, slurp~~"

The man, his eyes gleaming, was stuffing in pieces of wood one by one, gesturing wildly.

"Help... help..."

Huo Jingya no longer had the strength to shout. The bottom of the pot was heating up very quickly, and she felt pain in her buttocks and back.

Soon, she will smell the aroma of her own flesh.

She was a young lady from a noble family, born into a life of luxury, surrounded by servants, and doted on by her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law.

But she never imagined that she would die such a tragic death.

No bones remain.

Is it because she did something wrong in the past that God is punishing her?

She once scolded an old beggar woman because she had dirtied Narcissus's shoes.

She had beaten the gardener in the manor because he had killed the narcissus's favorite flower.

As Huo Jingya thought this, she actually smelled the aroma of burnt meat.

"Am I familiar with you?"

"Known my ass! Get out here now!"

After a clear female voice, Huo Jingya's rope was grabbed and she was lifted out of the pot.

Huo Jingya was dazed when she saw a person stuffed in the fire under the pot, with only half of their body sticking out.

It was the same man who had just been drooling and trying to roast her.

Huo Jingya was immediately jolted awake.

It was roasted and died.

"Where is your third sister-in-law?!"

"Third Sister-in-law... is up there!"

The woman swept past me like the wind.

Huo Jingya only realized belatedly that it was Sang Ning'er who had saved her!

Second floor corridor.

The sounds of lust and evil thoughts emanated from one of the rooms.

"We didn't burn you to death because you're easier to deal with than the other one. If you know what's good for you, just serve us brothers well and we'll spare your life."

"You ungrateful wretch! You had your fun and then grilled it up and ate it!"

"Stop calling me 'Third Brother,' I'm the sixth son. Call me 'Sixth Brother' and let me hear it."

……

"Get out! Get out! Get out!" The woman's voice was shrill and heart-wrenching.

That kind of desperate pain was like a sharp awl piercing Sang Ning's heart.

She vaguely remembered things from a long time ago.

That time, I was traveling alone to a village in the mountains when two old bachelors dragged me into a cornfield.

I vividly remember that disgusting feeling, that urge to destroy the world and tear everything apart.

That was the beginning of her breaking through her own limitations.

She gouged out two people's eyes, broke their spines, and made those two scoundrels pay a terrible price.

What I despise most in my life are these lecherous men!
