On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2009 Everyone meets

Su Shengsheng couldn't help but feel a little flustered when he saw Mu Wan crying.

She quickly took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it over, waving her hands and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask. Don't cry."

Mu Xiao took the handkerchief and held it in his hand. He shook his head gently, his voice choked with sobs: "I don't blame you..."

"Then you..." Su Shengsheng wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Mu Xiao: "Sister, who are you? Are you working for Master Ba?"

Su Shengsheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "Yes, I..."

Before she could finish her words, Yan Ruyu's voice suddenly came from the front: "Shengsheng."

Su Shengsheng immediately responded: "Hey!"

He turned to Mu Xiao and smiled, "I'll go first. I'll talk to you later."

As he said this, he walked forward quickly. When he ran to Yan Ruyu, he did not forget to turn around and wave to Mu Xiao.

Mu Xiao looked at her back, then raised his eyes to look at Yan Ruyu who was walking in front.

Yinding led Yan Ruyu and followed the traces he had left behind and successfully returned to the yard where he was originally imprisoned.

As soon as I turned in, I saw Wu Liang squatting in front of the steps, frowning and wondering what he was thinking about.

Han Peng and Chen Ling were talking in low voices.

The guards here are gone, which shows that Zhou Lie has transferred all the people to the island to deal with the situation. Anyway, the three of them have eaten poison, so there is no need to worry that they will run away.

Hearing footsteps, Wu Liang looked up suddenly, saw the silver ingot, and then saw Yan Ruyu behind him, and his heart was overjoyed.

Almost thought I was dreaming.

He took a few steps forward, not knowing how to address her.

"This is the person sent by the Eighth Master to rescue us." Yinding spoke first, the flesh on his round face was tense, and his small eyes blinked twice at Wu Liang quickly.

Wu Liang's words got stuck in his throat, his Adam's apple rolled, and he immediately understood.

He took a half step back and bowed, his waist bent just right. "Thank you very much, Young Master, for saving me. Thank you, Eighth Master, for your consideration. We have been looking forward to this day for so long."

Yan Ruyu stood still, her eyes sweeping over the three of them. "No need to be polite. The most important thing is to get out of this predicament first."

"These two are Han Peng and Chen Ling, brothers who have been with us through thick and thin." Yin Ding quickly pulled the two men over. Han Peng was tall, and the muscles in his arms tensed as he bowed. "Greetings, sir."

Chen Ling was more quiet and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your concern, sir."

Yan Ruyu took two steps closer to Wu Liang and lowered her voice, "Take them to the edge of the island and hide somewhere. Keep your troops in place for now. The prince will be there to support us. Wait for the signal and then we can coordinate with the outside forces."

Wu Liang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect the prince to be here too. He nodded repeatedly, "I understand! Don't worry, sir. We won't make any mistakes."

He turned around and patted Han Peng's arm, "Come on, follow me."

Yin Ding watched their backs disappear into the corner before turning to Yan Ruyu: "Master, what happened these past two days..."

"Let's talk over here." Yan Ruyu led him to the old locust tree in the corner of the yard, and the shade of the tree just covered the figures of the two.

Yinding swallowed his saliva and spoke at a steady and fast pace: "We went to the water stronghold first. The stronghold was okay. Although it was not as good as the one owned by the Li family, it was okay. All the food was sent to the water stronghold.

Afterwards, we encountered some problems on our way back. The others either had an attack of poison or were killed, leaving only a few of us. On the night we were captured, our subordinates went out to check and saw a cave.

There's also a cave on the rock wall at the back. It's pitch black and filled with human bones. There's even a mountain of bones piled up inside. It's really scary. The monster is right inside."

"What does the monster look like?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"I've never seen its true appearance, but I can always hear the noise inside, like thunder." Yinding frowned.

Yinding recounted everything that happened in and out of the cave, including how he rescued Mu Xiao and how he threw the two men into the cave to feed the monster.

"Zhou Lie was furious. Not just angry, but more like he was terrified," he paused, then said firmly, "something must have gone terribly wrong with that monster, otherwise he wouldn't have lost his composure like that."

Yan Ruyu tapped her palm lightly with her fingertips and said after a moment of silence, "Wait for me outside the courtyard and keep an eye on what's going on."

Yinding replied "yes" and walked to the gate of the courtyard.

Yan Ruyu turned and walked towards Mu Wan.

She twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, her eyes timid.

Yan Ruyu didn't say anything. She raised her hand and gently brushed her shoulders with her fingertips, brushing away a few fallen leaves that were stuck to them.

"Yin Ding said that your life story is very pitiful." Yan Ruyu's voice softened. "Since you have nowhere else to go, come with us. But you must abide by my rules."

Mu Wan nodded her head repeatedly, her voice as thin as a mosquito's: "I abide by the rules. I will obey you in everything. I will never cause any trouble."

"Where are the girls who were captured together with you?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Mu Wan pursed her lips, frowned, and thought for a long time before shaking her head: "I was blindfolded when I came out. I struggled halfway and finally got rid of the cloth. There were trees all around, and I couldn't tell the direction at all."

"So what's your place like?"

"It's a large courtyard with a main house and wing rooms." Mu Wan's eyes brightened, as if he remembered a specific scene. "We were all locked in the wing rooms, three people to a room. The doors and windows were locked from the outside. No one came only when food was delivered."

"How many people are there in total? They came to the island with you." Yan Ruyu's gaze fell on her face, not missing a single subtle expression.

"Nine people." Mu Wan said confidently, "I counted them when we got on the boat, and they were the same people we were imprisoned with later. I haven't seen anyone else since."

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and Chuntao's words rang in her ears - "I was chosen to be the Dragon Girl, and there should be nine people."

She had previously wondered what the "Dragon Girl" referred to, but now, combined with what Yinding said about feeding the monster, she finally had a clue.

The so-called "dragon" should be a monster in the cave, and the "dragon girl" is just a sacrifice to feed the monster.

It turns out that the name of Longyin Island hides such a dirty secret.

She nodded slowly, her tone calm, "We're going to find where those girls are being held. Do you want to come with us?"

"Oh my god!" Mu Wan suddenly looked up, his eyes gleaming, and then quickly lowered his voice. "Although I don't know the way, as long as I enter that courtyard, I will definitely recognize it. Those girls are so pitiful, I want to help them."

"Let's go." Yan Ruyu turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Wait!" Su Shengsheng jumped out from behind the locust tree and slammed the wooden stick in his hand to the ground. "Count me in! I just happened to run into those bastards on the road, and I'll break their legs!"

Yan Ruyu glanced at her, said nothing, and just nodded slightly.

Su Shengsheng immediately laughed, followed behind happily, and patted Mu Wan's arm: "Don't be afraid, no one can bully you with me here."
