Chapter 280 The Evildoer

"Lift your head and let me see."

The voice came with a bit of kindness, just like a bonfire in winter, making people feel friendly.

Xue Yuyan was still a little hesitant, but she saw a lot of boots standing in front of her.

Just thinking about the scene full of evil people, he could only raise his head obediently.

Looking up, I saw a fair-faced monk in a cassock standing among many bald men.

His face was calm, with a flower bud between his eyebrows, and his eyes were like peach blossoms, like the seductive eyes of a fox.

Anyone who looked into his eyes would have a dazed, hesitant and confused look on their face, as if they were mesmerized by those eyes and had lost their normal consciousness.

Standing among the crowd, this pale-faced monk was like a flower standing among the weeds, truly eye-catching. Even Xue Yuyan was no exception. Seeing the monk's amiable face, a glimmer of hope arose in her heart.

Perhaps, this master is a good person.

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved and sat in the haystack, waiting for others' decision.

The monk walked over slowly with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to pinch Xue Yuyan's chin and looked at her carefully.

"Good, good. That's it." The monk nodded, and there was a hint of coquettishness in his voice.

Xue Yuyan was pinched so hard that it hurt. She wanted to struggle, but his hand squeezed even tighter, causing her jaw to creak as if it would break at any time. The girl burst into tears in pain but did not dare to make a sound.

Only now did she realize that not all good-looking people are kind-hearted. The pale-faced monk in front of her could obviously kill her at any time.

"How pitiful, with tears streaming down her face." The monk smiled, stretched out his fingers to wipe away the tears on Xue Yuyan's face, then released his hand, threw off his cassock and said calmly, "Take her away and lock her up. She is our best sacrifice. Give her some water today, and don't give her any food."

"Yes, Master." The big men bowed and picked up Xue Yuyan without waiting for her to speak. Then they walked into the backyard and pushed open a Buddha statue, revealing a passage.

Picking up the candle from the wall, the big man walked into the cave.

Xue Yuyan was lifted up in the air and then walked step by step towards the deep black hole.

She couldn't see what was going on around her, she just felt the pain from being tied up all over.

After an unknown amount of time, the big man stopped, opened a cage, and threw her in.

After rolling on the ground for several rounds, Xue Yuyan finally sat up straight.

She looked around and finally realized where she was.

In a dark room, several young girls were locked in a huge iron cage.

Some of these little girls were dressed in fancy clothes, while others were dressed in rags. It was obvious that they were from different families. Each of them huddled in a corner, not daring to make a sound.

Such a scene was truly frightening, and Xue Yuyan's heart slowly sank.

"After being caught in such a secret place, can Brother Li really find me?"

"If Brother Li can't find me, will I die?"

The little girl had a lot of messy thoughts in her mind, and finally she could only bury her head in silence.

"If I die, Brother Li will take good care of my sister, right?"

Xue Yuyan thought with some sadness in her heart.

"I hope my sister won't be sad." Just as I was feeling depressed, I heard a soft call in my ear.

"Hello, hello."

Xue Yuyan raised her head and looked towards the direction where the voice came from, and saw a little girl who was also tied up speaking to her.

With the only light from the fire in the dark room, she could see the other person clearly. She was a girl with delicate features, and the clothes she wore were different from those of ordinary farm children.

The girl's expression was different from the other people in the iron cage, her eyes were bright.

Seeing that it was this person calling her, Xue Yuyan forced herself to cheer up.

"You, are you calling me?" Xue Yuyan asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm calling you." The little girl nodded.

"What can I do for you?" Xue Yuyan asked.

"My name is Zhao Changying, and I've been caught here two days ago. What's your name? How did you get caught?" The girl moved over and sat next to Xue Yuyan and asked.

Xue Yuyan hesitated for a while, then told her her story honestly: "My name is Yuyan, and my last name is Xue. I was caught by them when I was shopping with my sister, and then brought in here."

"Alas, the same as me." The girl named Zhao Changying sighed, "I was parading in the streets with my maid when I was caught by this group of evil people and brought here. How is the situation outside now? Does anyone in your family know that you were brought here?"

"I don't know. They captured me and brought me all the way here. But I saw a lot of people in this temple, and they didn't look like good people."

"Of course they are not good people." Zhao Changying said angrily, "When you came in, you should have seen those sisters outside, all of whom were abused by them! This group of evil thieves do all kinds of evil and specialize in stealing and capturing women. If I can get out, I will definitely ask Daddy to teach them a lesson."

"Hmm." Seeing Zhao Changying so angry, Xue Yuyan could only nod in agreement helplessly.

She also knew that no matter how angry she was, there had to be a way to solve the problem. Now they had to escape first.

"Hmm, don't be so silent." Zhao Changying nudged Xue Yuyan with her shoulder, then puffed her cheeks and said angrily, "Let me tell you, when I saw you coming in just now, I felt that you must be different from the other girls here."

"Ah? Is there any difference between me and them?" Xue Yuyan asked with a little surprise.

"Of course. I see that you are not like these people who either cried and begged like ghosts when they came in, or looked lifeless after crying. It's really boring to look at you as if you have no life. It's just that you have been caught, and it's not your time to die. There must be a way. My father once said that nothing is difficult in this world as long as you are determined. If we can seize the opportunity to escape, there will always be a chance to survive. When I was caught before, I heard these evil people say that girls like us are used as sacrifices. We will die sooner or later, so we might as well try our best."

"If I die in obedience like this, I would be unworthy of being a woman of the Zhao family!"

Zhao Changying spoke frankly, and Xue Yuyan couldn't help but widen her eyes after hearing this.

She had never seen a girl so brave, and she was full of courage even in such a desperate situation.

I don’t know if it was because of the influence of this girl, but Xue Yuyan actually mustered up some courage. She thought just like Zhao Changying did, since they were all going to die, why not fight hard this time?

Having read this, Xue Yuyan bit her lower lip and firmed up her determination.

"You're right. I'm going to die anyway. Since it's death either way, I might as well give it a try." Xue Yuyan responded to Zhao Changying's words.

"That's right!" Zhao Changying said happily, "I was wondering, how could this world be without women of courage? You are different from other girls, which really makes me happy."

"Even if that's the case, what should we do?" Xue Yuyan felt a little depressed when she thought about her current situation.

"Don't be afraid, this is how we are going to do it." Zhao Changying leaned close to her ear and told her all his plans.
