Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 240
Chapter 240 Human Nose
Bai Junzhuo was unable to escape from the shock for a long time.
Originally living in the new century of socialism, she had always felt that the word “human purgatory” had never appeared in novels or movies. If he hadn’t seen this unimaginable scene in front of him.
A few steps away from opening the stone door, a few girls who looked only seven or eight years old were naked, carrying heavy objects on their bodies. They were struggling along a wall that was about their height. Behind them were a few malevolent men who were constantly whipping them with whips.
The people inside only needed to be divided into those who wore clothes and those who did not. The tall, short, fat, and skinny people who wore clothes were different, but they were all adult men. All of them had shiny faces and thieving eyebrows, reminding Bai Junzhuo of the Japanese army that invaded China. Naked people ranged from children to old people. They were all skinny like firewood, with withered faces, swollen faces, and hydrops in their stomachs. It seemed that everyone would not be able to live long.
The low wall circled around the city. It was a very large cellar surrounded by hot air. Farther away, some adult men were holding hammers and hitting something, as if they were forging weapons. They were naked and their hands and feet were tied by chains. The slightest slack of the whip landed on their bodies and drew a strand of blood.
There were also some old, weak, women, and children who were carrying heavy burdens and doing things that were completely beyond their capabilities.
Was this dynasty still a slave society? Why should these people be treated like this?
Bai Junzhuo’s first reaction was to open the stone door and help her up. Shen Wujie hurriedly pulled her and said, “Are you crazy? What will happen if the two of us rush out? At least wait until they get behind the big cave before sneaking in.”
Bai Junzhuo gritted his teeth and could only endure.
The little girl wanted to get up, but a man behind her suddenly rushed forward and gave her a fierce kick. The little girl hugged her stomach and curled up. She looked at the stone door with blank eyes. Her originally clear and innocent eyes were chaotic, filled with despair and helplessness. Bai Junzhuo’s heart tightened. She felt as if the girl was asking for help from her.
Bai Junzhuo clenched his fists tightly. If she went out to help her now, she would also fall into the hands of these people. Could it be that she could only watch helplessly as this girl suffered?
The dressed man suddenly threw away the whip, forcefully pushed the little girl down, and then began to take off his clothes. The little girl struggled and cried even harder.
Bai Junzhuo’s eyes widened. That girl looked only eleven or twelve years old, and that man was obviously trying to rape her! This was simply a beast!
Bai Junzhuo could no longer bear it and was about to rush out. Shen Wujie quickly covered her mouth and took her away from the stone door. Bai Junzhuo struggled with all his might. At this moment, a voice sounded through the crack in the stone door, “If you want to play inside, don’t take out that ugly fellow of yours and disgust us. We’ll go over to eat later!”
When Shen Wujie heard this, he knew that the people outside were going to bring the little girl in, so he pulled Bai Junzhuo to hide under the last bed in the row of beds.
The man who tried to rape cursed his mother and pushed open the stone door.
He didn’t even bring the little girl to bed. Instead, he directly threw her to the ground and began his beast behavior.
The little girl’s voice became hoarse. Bai Junzhuo took Shen Wujie’s hand away and glared at him angrily.
“Just a minute.” Shen Wujie whispered to her and secretly pointed at the stone door.
The stone door was casually closed by the people outside. Only after Shen Wuji was sure that the door was completely closed did he let Bai Junzhuo go. Taking advantage of the man’s attention on the little girl, he quietly stood up and walked behind the man.
When the little girl saw her, her eyes widened in surprise. Shen Wujie raised his index finger and signaled her not to speak. The dagger in his sleeve slid into his hand. Shen Wujie held the dagger and stabbed it into the back of the man’s head.
The man let out a miserable scream. Shen Wujie let go of his hand and took two steps back. Suddenly, the man’s head exploded, and red, red, and white splashed everywhere. The man’s headless body trembled a few times in the pool of blood before completely stopping moving.
The little girl sat up in fear and looked at Shen Wujie with her eyes wide open.
Bai Junzhuo also walked out. Seeing that Shen Wujie picked up the dagger in the pool of blood and casually grabbed a sheet to wipe it clean, Bai Junzhuo was surprised to discover that the tip of the dagger was as sharp as a flower. It was estimated that it was the size of a pumpkin. No wonder the man’s head exploded.
Shen Wujie swung the dagger and threw away the untouchable blood. When he stopped moving, all the saber flowers on the dagger’s front end were retracted and turned into an ordinary dagger.
After doing all of this, Shen Wujie casually grabbed a quilt and threw it on the little girl. Bai Junzhuo hurriedly walked over to her and said, “It’s okay, you’re safe for now.”
The little girl looked at Shen Wujie and Bai Junzhuo with great fear and did not say a word.
“We won’t hurt you,” Bai Junzhuo said. “Can you tell me who you are? Why are you locked up here? Who locked you up here? What are you doing here?”
The little girl shrank back again and did not answer her.
Bai Junzhuo rubbed her dry dark yellow hair and asked her patiently, “Tell me, maybe I can save you from here?”
Seeing her kind attitude, the little girl finally opened her mouth, but what she said was a series of words that she could not understand.
Bai Junzhuo turned around and looked at Shen Wujie puzzledly. Shen Wujie listened to the little girl’s words and scratched his head, saying, “This seems to be the language of another country.”
“Then can you understand?” Bai Junzhuo asked.
“I don’t understand at all.” Shen Wujie shook his head and then said, “However, there are still some adult men outside. They should be able to speak Li Country dialect. I’ll go out and ask.”
Just as Bai Junzhuo was about to ask him how he would get out, Shen Wujie took off the clothes of the dead man and put them on his body, casually wiping away the blood stains on his head. This person probably killed a lot of people as well. This was all dried up blood, so it was hard to tell when it was stained with new blood.
After everything was settled, Shen Wujie prepared to leave. Bai Junzhuo asked worriedly, “Can you do this? Those men outside obviously know each other. They will definitely recognize you.”
“It doesn’t matter. I will try my best to avoid them.” Shen Wujie smiled at her, then pushed open the stone door and walked out.
As soon as he arrived at the stone door, Shen Wujie felt a little hot. Only then did he notice that the liquid flowing in the cellar was like magma.
After observing for a while, he saw that the men in clothes had circled to the other side of the cellar. He immediately found a corner that those people could not easily notice. Coincidentally, there was a man polishing things over there, so he walked over.
When the man saw him coming over, he worked even harder. Shen Wujie walked up to him and whispered, “Hey, I have something to ask you.”
The man did not dare to look at him, nor did he dare to answer.
Seeing him like this, Shen Wujie stretched out his hand and pulled him. When he heard the sound of the “bell”, he discovered that his hands and feet were tied by chains.
No wonder they didn’t run away, so it was like this.
“I’m not one of them,” Shen Wujie said. “I sneaked in from outside and came to save you.”
Hearing this, the man’s eyes burst with hope, and then dimmed down. He whispered, “You alone are impossible.”
“But you can tell me about your situation. Anyway, you don’t have any losses.”
After thinking for a while, the man nodded and said, “We grown men are prisoners of war from the Ancient Fish Kingdom. Those children and women are our families. We have been locked up here for more than three years.”
“What? Three years? Prisoners of war?” Shen Wujie immediately remembered the incident of Zou Qi killing the prisoners of war and asked, “Were you killed in the battle with General Zou of Li Country and turned into prisoners of war?”
The man nodded.
“Didn’t I say that all of you were buried alive? Why are you still alive?”
The man shook his head and said, “Back then, we dug a big pit. I thought that we were going to be buried alive, but I didn’t expect that we would be moved to such a place. We worked hard day and night to forge weapons. Many people can’t stand it anymore and committed suicide. All we have left is to think that one day, we can leave here and return to the Ancient Fish Kingdom!”
Shen Wujie held his chin and thought for a moment before asking, “Do you know who you are forging weapons for?”
The man shook his head.
“Then how much do you know about how Zou Qi tried to kill you three years ago?”
“General Zou was framed,” said the man righteously. “Although he is our enemy, he is still a man worthy of respect. A general like him might kill us, but he will definitely not harm the old, weak, women, and children accompanying the army.”
Even the enemy said that. It seemed that Zou Qi was really a powerful general.
Since that was the case, who were these people forging weapons for?
Yin Xun had always been in charge of the matter of smelting weapons in Li Country, which could be considered the business of the royal family. This dirty and mysterious place looked like it was forged secretly. Could it be that he was Yin Xun’s business opponent?
Absolutely impossible. Yin Xun had no opponent at all.
Shen Wujie thought for a moment, but he didn’t understand, so he didn’t think anymore. It was better for Bai Junzhuo to handle this matter of burning his brain.
Suddenly, he heard another “coax” sound. There was an opening above his head. Four people walked down the winding stone stairs. Each of them held a large basin of things in their hands. The person in the lead said, “Eat, you bastards.”
All of a sudden, the people who were working stopped what they were holding and stood one by one, waiting for those people to give out food.
Each of them only had a small spoonful of drinks in a bowl the size of a water cup, plus a steamed bun.
Shen Wujie could smell the pungent stench of the food from afar. These people could still live for three years after eating these things, and it was considered amazing.
When he saw someone walking this way, he immediately turned around and wanted to leave. Suddenly, he heard the person serving the meal shouting, “Over there, why haven’t I seen you?”
Shen Wujie pretended not to hear.
The man hurriedly caught up to Shen Wujie and grabbed his shoulder. “I said, you. Why haven’t I seen you before? Who are you?”
Shen Wujie turned around and looked at him coldly.
