Chapter 115 Thrown into a Snake Pit
Jiang Chuan and Jiang Bocai were both typical peasant men, with some strength, but they couldn't compare to those who knew martial arts.
Looking at the man in black in front of them, who stood tall and jumped far, they didn't seem to care whether he was accurate or not; he must be very accurate.
He immediately trembled with fear, shouting, "Hero, don't shoot! Let's get out of the city right now!"
Li dared not get too close to Jiang Chuan, fearing she would be implicated, so she pretended to help Jiang Jiman.
The moment she moved, the man in black aimed his bow and arrow at her. "Who told you to run around like that? Get out of the east gate!"
Li cried out in fear, "I won't move! I won't move!"
She had no choice but to timidly follow Jiang Chuan outside.
Jiang Ranran dared not do or say anything rash.
The group had barely entered the city and hadn't even found anything interesting when they were forced to wade through the water to leave.
Jiang Jiman remained silent the whole way, carefully pondering what the relationship between this person and Jiang Mianmian really was.
Are they enemies, or on the same side? Do they know that Jiang Mianmian and they have already fallen out? Why are they looking for them?
Upon reaching the city gate, the man in black tossed out a rope. "Tie all your hands together, string them together!"
The Jiang family members: "..."
Reluctantly, Li picked up the rope and tied their hands together one by one. Finally, trembling, she stood in front of the man in black, holding the end of the rope. "Good, good man, all done."
The men in black tied her up as well and dragged them quickly into the deep mountains.
They walked until dark before reaching the edge of a cliff. "One is missing. I'll go find another one."
The person waiting in line kicked him, yelling, "Get down!"
"what!"
Before she could react, Jiang Ranran was kicked hard.
She broke out in a cold sweat, and her body tilted uncontrollably toward the cliff!
That's it, it looks like she's definitely going to die today! Falling from such a height, I wonder how much pain she must have felt!
However, the expected excruciating pain did not come. She felt herself fall onto a soft mat, and just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she saw a dark shadow fall down from above.
She quickly rolled away to avoid it, and when she looked up, she realized that there was a mechanism to catch her after she fell off the cliff!
Such exquisite craftsmanship must have been designed by a very talented person, and the person who can afford to use it must be even more remarkable!
Jiang Ranran was secretly delighted. If this person had a grudge against Jiang Mianmian, wouldn't she be able to make good use of him?
The rest of the Jiang family quickly followed suit, and apart from Jiang Jiman, they were all fine.
Jiang Jiman coughed up several mouthfuls of blood after falling.
After they all got off, several men in black surrounded them, tied them up again, and blindfolded them before leading them further inside.
Jiang Ranran felt that the surroundings were bright and dark, and she went around in circles several times. Finally, her head was almost spinning before she could stand up.
After waiting a while, a commotion suddenly broke out around them, and someone shouted that the master had arrived.
"You're so stupid, why aren't you kneeling down?" He was kicked hard in the back of the knee.
She was angry, but dared not say anything. With such a grand display, she wondered who this person was!
The room quickly quieted down, footsteps sounded and then stopped, and a faint fragrance wafted into the nostrils.
Jiang Ranran didn't know what the smell was, but it smelled very nice and familiar.
"I've met the master."
The voices were loud and clear, which startled her again. Then the blindfold was removed.
The first thing I saw was a strange chair, followed by two very ornate... no?
Jiang Ranran's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked down. This person had no legs!
They definitely don't like being spied on like this!
"Ah."
The man chuckled softly, his voice languid, "I need you to do one thing: lure Jiang Mianmian here. Can you do it?"
None of the Jiang family members dared to speak. They hated Jiang Mianmian to the core, but they were also afraid!
Even though the second son has been gone for so long, there's still no news of him!
Maybe that brat killed him!
The room fell silent for three breaths.
"Can't even do this simple thing? Drag him out and throw him into the snake pit."
The man pointed and said, "I'll give you another fifteen minutes to think it over. If you still can't come up with a solution, I'll throw two away."
All of them trembled and could no longer help but raise their heads.
Four people came up and pulled Jiang Bocai away.
His mouth was gagged, and he was dragged away before he could even scream.
Jiang Chuan slumped to the ground, grabbing Jiang Jiman, "Third, you have to think of something! You have to lure that bitch over here!"
That snake pit sounds terrifying. There are only four people left. If two more are thrown in, I might be next!
Li also grabbed Jiang Jiman, crying with snot and tears streaming down her face, "My son, save your mother! I don't want to be eaten by snakes!"
Jiang Ranran looked at Jiang Jiman pitifully.
None of them asked Jiang Bocai a question, nor did they say a word in his defense.
The man in the wheelchair witnessed this scene, and his eyes lit up with interest.
He was able to capture them because he had inquired about Jiang Mianmian's connection with the Jiang family. He thought these people only looked down on the daughter who came from a brothel, but he didn't expect them to treat their own son, whom they had raised since childhood, the same way.
If it weren't for Jiang Mianmian, he really wouldn't have the patience to see this group of people; they were truly an eyesore.
Jiang Jiman quickly regained his balance and gave a scholarly bow. "I can bring Jiang Mianmian here."
"Oh? Then tell me, how do you want to do it?"
"What she worries about most is those courtesans. If we can capture them all, we can force her to show herself."
"That's it?"
The man in the wheelchair chuckled softly, "I found them a long time ago, but for some reason, I couldn't get in at all."
He raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Jiman. "Your sister is quite capable. Didn't she attract a bolt of lightning for you back at the Jiang family? Now, there seems to be lightning outside the cave where she's settling those young ladies. My men can't get in at all."
Otherwise, why would he bother looking for the Jiang family?
Jiang Jiman was slightly startled, but quickly replied, "Since we can't get in, why not let them come out on their own?"
Inside the cave, Twenty-Five was running around again, asking, "What is Seventh Sister doing? Do you know when Sister Mianmian will be back?"
Seventh Sister was doing yoga when she heard this. She slowly put down her old arms and legs and said, "I don't know. She'll be back when she's done with her work."
"Ok."
Twenty-Five pulled his head back from the cave entrance and ran to Seventeenth Sister, "Seventeenth Sister, did Sister Mianmian say when she'll be back?"
"No……"
Seventeen-year-old Sister had just taken a cleansing pill yesterday and was lying motionless on the bed, looking weak and listless. "I'll come back... after I'm done with my work, right?"
"What's wrong with Seventeenth Sister?"
Twenty-Five was a little worried, so he went into the cave and touched her forehead, exclaiming dramatically, "It's so hot! You need to drink a cup of hot milk!"
"Okay, then could you please get a cup of hot milk for my sister, Twenty-Five?"
Seventeen-year-old suppressed a laugh; this little girl was getting more and more mischievous.
Twenty-five nodded repeatedly and quickly returned with the hot milk, along with Granny Niu.
Grandma Niu gave her some chocolate. "How are you feeling? Still feeling weak?"
Seventeen nodded, looking somewhat worried.
