Chapter 187 A Woman's Cry

Qin Cai panicked.

Qiqi is still struggling.

Outside the iron gate, no one answered.

After struggling like this for a while, the sound of footsteps finally came from outside the stone gate.

At the end of the black fire, she couldn't see the face of the person who came.

But people who come can see them clearly.

"What are you making so much noise about? You've come to Goose Mountain and you're still thinking about surviving? Shut your mouth!"

It is still the official language commonly used in Liuhuo City of Daxia Country, and it sounds strangely familiar.

She thought she must be crazy.

She opened her mouth and yelled hoarsely at the visitor: "Help... I want... medicine... drink water..."

She was just talking nonsense.

However, the tone is also the familiar official tone of Liuhuo City.

The man froze for a moment, walked forward a few steps, and was finally exposed to the flames.

It's not an old face, maybe because of staying inside the rocks all year round, the whole face is surprisingly white.

Just like Mrs. Jiang's appearance back then.

He hesitated and said: "I said not to make noise, if the people above find out, even my head will be lost."

He paused, and snorted, "It's better to die happily and cleanly than to rot here and wait to die."

He turned around and was about to leave again.

Qin Cai turned pale in shock: "Don't go, please save my wife, my wife can't die...my wife is..."

"I want to drink water...I want to drink water, brother, give me a glass of water..." Qiqi started, grabbed Qin Cai's hand, and interrupted him.

This request is not excessive, and it does not ask for medicine.

She knew that if he really healed her, the jailer might not have the ability and right to do so.

Qin Cai closed his mouth and looked at the jailer anxiously.

The jailer's expression changed for a long time, and after looking at Qiqi for a while, it was obvious that she was not pretending, but indeed looked like she had been poisoned by a corpse.

Finally snorted: "Seeing that you have the accent of Liuhuocheng, I will reward you with a sip of water. If it is someone else, I will kill him with one knife and forget it."

This man works as a guard in the prison in the mountains, and maybe he doesn't go out very often.

Judging from his Liuhuocheng accent, he probably hasn't been back to his hometown for many years.

It's important that Qiqi is uncomfortable, and I don't have time to thank you.

But Qin Cai was almost crying with gratitude.

The jailer showed a rare trace of peace, and walked out of the stone gate.

But after a while, he really brought a bowl of water into the door.

Along the dim corridor, the water bowl was handed over step by step.

As he walked, he scolded: "There are dozens of prison cells, and no less than a hundred people died. I have never been a Bodhisattva, and I have never shown kindness. I met you today, and you are considered lucky. After drinking this bowl of water, I will soon die." Some reincarnation. In the next life, don’t come to Goose Mountain to wander around.”

He rambled on for a while.

I am afraid it is because of homesickness.

Qin Cai kept thanking him, and hurriedly reached out to catch the water bowl.

The jailer said, "You've done it, she won't live long due to the poison in her body, it's you..."

He seemed to be looking at a dead person, shook his head, and passed the water bowl in through the iron fence: "You should die early and reincarnate early."

Passing the water bowl to him, Qiqi suddenly took a step forward and grabbed his wrist.

Then, he quickly removed his arm, turned his hand upside down 180 degrees, and pulled his whole person forward.

He covered his mouth and nose.

She is amazingly strong.

I don't know where the strength came from.

Qin Cai was shocked, before he realized it, he rushed forward to help Qiqi from the side.

One person covered the jailer's mouth and nose, and the other held down the jailer's legs.

After about 1 minute, the jailer fell limply.

No sound.

She stretched out her hand and sniffed to make sure that the person was dead.

Take your first breath.

Qin Cai couldn't help trembling: "Madam, are you... pretending?"

She nodded weakly: "I'm sorry, I even lied to you."

Qin Cai is an honest person, and he is definitely not good at acting.

Maybe before the jailer approached, he would reveal his secrets.

So, she didn't tell him.

He shook his head and said embarrassingly, "Subordinate... stupid."

Without further delay, the two hurriedly took off the jailer's saber and looked for the key again.

There is no key.

The jailer did not bring the key.

Heavy iron chains were tied to the iron gate, and they couldn't get out without a key.

And outside the stone gate, if the jailer can't go out for a long time, maybe other people will be attracted.

If other people come in, they won't have such good luck.

With a flash of her eyes, she stared at the jailer for a few seconds, then tore off the jailer's clothes.

Through the iron fence, she took off the jailer's clothes and spread them on the two of them.

Looking at it casually, it is no longer an outsider who fell into the water, but like two jailers in disheveled clothes.

Qin Cai didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

She carefully identified the keyhole on the chain and found out the jailer's belt.

In order to hang the saber on the belt, there are several slender wires on it, which are intricately wound around the belt to fix the scabbard.

It took her a lot of effort to get the wire off.

Straighten the wire again, and poke the keyhole.

I poked it a few times, but nothing happened.

Qin Cai frowned, unable to help.

This chain is specially designed to lock the prisoner, how can it be so easy to break open.

But she was on guard, listening to the movement outside the stone gate, while paying attention to the keyhole nervously, not letting go of a sound.

"pat..."

There was a slight sound coming from the keyhole, but it didn't escape her ears.

Surprise appeared in her eyes: "Sure enough."

Sure enough, it was unlocked like this.

She actually has the ability to pick locks.

I don't know when I learned it.

She was overjoyed, but the movements in her hands became slower and slower.

After a while, when she heard the "click" sound again, the wire in her hand turned slightly and squeezed through the keyhole.

"pat..."

The lock is open.

The two people in the cell were all taken aback.

Qiqi laughed happily, tore off the iron chain, and left the prison door.

The two carried the jailer into the cell, put Qin Cai's wet clothes on him, and pretended to be sleeping.

Then close the prison door.

She looked around the surrounding area, confirmed that no third party could clearly see their actions, and led Qin Cai to the other end of the corridor.

Be as quiet as possible and stay as invisible as possible.

As long as no one finds them missing, no one will track them down.

Make sure to keep the news of the escape of the two under wraps.

When she reached the entrance of the corridor, she saw clearly from left to right and turned out of the corridor.

Outside the corridor, it was pitch black.

Pine oil lamps cannot illuminate a dark cave.

In the torture hall sat another jailer.

This person was facing away from them, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Never looked up.

But he asked lightly: "How is it? Is the poisoned woman dead?" When she asked, she spat first: "Unfortunately, I was poisoned by the corpse, otherwise I could still give it to Ye Lele."

Qiqi made no sound.

Qin Cai reached out his hand to stop her from moving forward, but walked slowly by himself.

He is a man, and the footsteps are naturally a man, so the jailer will not notice.

Sure enough, the jailer still didn't turn his head, just looked at the things in front of him, and hummed: "You bastard, you're homesick again? What's so good about Liuhuo City? A prisoner speaks a few words of his hometown dialect, and you're tempted. Be careful……"

He turned his head, with disdain on his face: "The superior knows that you sympathize with the prisoner, so he will send you to the alchemy furnace."

After finishing speaking, he widened his eyes and sat down on the ground with a slam.

It looked like he wanted to stand up, but he didn't react, and fell on his back.

Really stupid can.

With a smile from Qiqi, Qin Cai grabbed him by the collar, grabbed his neck with his palm, and never let go.

Seeing that he kicked his legs for a long time, but they all missed the ground, and finally stood still.

Qin Cai tried his breath, and the man was dead.

Only then did Qiqi come forward, imitating the previous appearance, and took off the jailer's clothes.

The two of them were dressed separately, so they looked like three jailers in disheveled clothes.

However, he finally looked like a jailer.

Heideng blindly looked at it, and couldn't see any special abnormalities.

Qiqi blinked, helped the sprawled jailer up, let him lie on the table, and pretended to be asleep.

In the end, after tidying up and putting it on the table, there is no more weirdness to be seen.

Outside the torture hall, the lights were dim. Obviously, this area was regarded as a low-level area and was not welcomed by the higher-ups.

They were relieved and quietly left the hall.

On the ground, the exit is not the mountain gate.

They are still wandering in the mountains.

The merman oil lamp illuminates the bright lights everywhere, making it impossible to hide.

With a cold face, she held her head high, and led Qin Cai upwards.

There was no one on this road, and many secret rooms were passed by, and the stone doors were all closed.

I don't know what's going on inside.

She didn't want to check it either, and kept heading towards the top of the mountain.

She had an intuition that King Xiaoyang was somewhere in this mountain.

Maybe at the very top.

The jailer's words before he died hit her mind over and over again, causing her memories to gradually overlap.

What alchemy furnace, what's on it?
What kind of existence would not kill Xiaoyang King, but imprison him here?

She didn't forget that he is the descendant of the genius doctor, and he and the old man Huishan are brothers in the same school.

His medical skills are no worse than that of the old man Huishan, and he even rescued Emperor Wuwei when his life was hanging by a thread.

She has not forgotten, and the new Emperor Xia Ze will certainly not forget either.

The only reason not to kill King Xiaoyang.

Or because of his medical skills.

He has astonishing medical skills, which can be used by Xia Ze.

Such as alchemy?

What pill needs to be refined in this dangerous jungle?
Need to be in this trapped dragon cave that is forever forgotten by the world?
She didn't know, but she gradually had an answer in her heart.

Speechless all the way.

Qin Cai followed her, imitating her with his head held high, but he was still a little guilty.

She pretended not to know, and turned all the way to the third floor.

Many people don't know that the buildings built in the cave are not supported by wood or iron bars.

Buildings in caves will take advantage of the natural advantages of caves, using stones as partitions, stones as floors, and stones as stairs.

The halls and rooms layer by layer are supported by solid rock pillars in a spiral shape.

Passages are connected to passages, one floor is connected to another, and the spiral staircase is beautiful, strong and safe.

Qiqi is currently standing on the third floor, and no one has noticed their existence yet.

In other words, I haven't been able to meet anyone yet.

It seems that there are not many people living in this huge goose mountain.

Or, are these people actually at the top?
Her eyes flickered, she hid behind the spiral column, observed carefully for a while, confirmed that there was no danger, and went up to the fourth floor.

The mountain is very large, and the spiral staircases are densely packed, and the number is countless.

She thought that the passage she walked must be the most remote one.

When she reached the fourth floor, she hadn't met a single person yet.

Just then, she heard a rustling cry.

The cry was so small that it was barely audible.

But she still heard it clearly.

It's just because she has been on guard all the time, for fear of missing all the sounds in the mountain.

Startled, she stopped in a hurry.

And quickly hid behind a spiral staircase.

The crying was intermittent and lingering.

Qin Cai said, "A woman?"

She nodded, made a silent gesture to him, and jumped up.

A woman who can stay on the fourth floor is undoubtedly of high status.

People from outside the mountains like them, once caught, they were thrown into a cage and left to rot into dry bones.

The women who can go up to the fourth floor have at least some relationship with this Eshan.

She was overjoyed, and followed the direction of the voice, getting closer.
