Shengjing Noble

Chapter 538 It’s hard to explain in one word

This night was pure torture.

Su Lanyin only felt pain in her waist and back and could hardly straighten her back.

Because the stone paving was not flat, the piece where she slept happened to have a bump, which hurt her waist.

But she had no other choice.

Even if Fu Wuyang slept in this position, it would still hurt him, so it would be better for her to endure it alone.

The two of them walked out slowly, and while no one was paying attention, Fu Wuyang whispered in her ear: "I've got a rough idea, now we have to find a way to pass on the message."

"But neither of us can get close to the rope-pulling group. How can we pass the message?"

"I'll find a way to do this, but I don't have paper and pen right now, which is a big problem."

Su Lanyin suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "I know where I can find paper and pen."

"Really?"

"Well, see you tonight."

"it is good."

The two men finished talking when they reached the entrance of the cave, and then went their separate ways, one to the left and the other to the right.

After returning to the place where the vegetables were washed, Su Lanyin was about to sit down to prepare today's breakfast when she was pushed aside by the woman named Rong Niang from yesterday.

She glared at him fiercely: "Why are you here again? You are so shameless. You are a grown man, but you come to steal jobs from us women."

Su Lanyin was puzzled. If she disliked her, then she had already caused trouble for her yesterday. There was no need to continue today, right?

Just when I was about to ask her what she wanted to do, I suddenly saw a guard walking towards me.

Rong Niang grabbed the guard and shouted, "It was her. She was the one who kicked over the water yesterday and cursed at us. Her attitude was very arrogant and she didn't know how to work properly at all!"

The guard came over with a whip in his hand, looked Su Lanyin up and down, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

"You are so arrogant just after arriving here. You are really asking for your life. Believe it or not, I will beat you to death!"

As he said this, he raised the whip in his hand and was about to hit him.

Su Lanyin frowned and wanted to grab the whip with her backhand, but she held back.

She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and decided to take it.

However, before he felt the pain of the whip on his body, he opened his eyes and saw Rong Niang grabbing the guard's hand.

Then he said with a look of disgust: "Sir, it's a waste of energy for you to beat such a coward. I would just throw her to the most difficult and tiring mining group and let her suffer!"

"You're right!" The guard nodded, then stepped forward and grabbed Su Lanyin's collar, "Come on, I'll watch you work today!"

Su Lanyin thought, if I were to leave here, wouldn't I be able to take the paper and pen with me?

So she immediately begged for mercy: "I am innocent, please spare my life, sir, it was not what she said yesterday, it was clearly her who kicked over the water!"

When the guard heard this, he turned to Rong Niang and asked, "Who did it?"

"It's her! She's the one who did it! Get her out of here now!"

"It's not me, it's really not me, please, I'm willing to wash the vegetables and cook, I will work twice as hard to do it well!"

The guard looked around and raised his whip to hit everyone.

Su Lanyin's arm was whipped so hard that she squatted on the ground holding it in her hand, and it took her a while to recover.

Rong Niang, on the other hand, seemed to have gotten used to the whip, and she quickly stood up straight after feeling the pain.

"Sir, spare your life!"

She clasped her hands together, her face pleading.

The guard was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and shouted, "You two should behave yourself. If you dare to mess around again, I will kill you!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Su Lanyin let go of her hand and looked at her arm. Her clothes had been torn and there was a bloody mark on her skin.

Because the whip had barbs, her arm bled, but not seriously.

The man just now probably didn't kill me, he probably held back some strength.

I guess they were afraid that hurting them would affect their cooking.

Su Lanyin looked at the woman and warned her sternly, "You'd better not cause me any more trouble, or I will really be rude to you. We are all poor people who were captured. We can't expect to sympathize with each other, but at least we shouldn't hurt each other!"

Hearing this, Rong Niang looked at her with a complicated expression, and then said coldly: "Humph, you will definitely regret today!"

After saying that, she strode into the kitchen and started washing vegetables and cooking.

Su Lanyin breathed a sigh of relief and followed him in.

She looked around and finally saw No. 27 who had comforted her yesterday, and hurried over to sit next to her.

"How did you sleep last night, young man?"

Number Twenty-Seven greeted quietly.

Su Lanyin said with an unpleasant expression: "It's hard to put it into words."

"You'll get used to it slowly."

"Is it the same in your women's shop?"

"It's the same. The people above us don't treat us as human beings. In their eyes, we black slaves are not even as good as the dogs they raise."

Su Lanyin was speechless and choked. She looked up at the people around her and felt like something was blocking her chest and she felt very uncomfortable.

……

After breakfast, Su Lanyin helped them clean up and then started doing laundry.

Washing clothes requires a lot of water, and it is impossible to carry it back, so we can only go to the river.

Su Lanyin followed them to the bank of the underground river.

Then start washing clothes.

Although I have long since adapted to the cold river water, I still can't act as if nothing has happened.

Su Lanyin gritted her teeth and endured the pain, not daring to make a sound, until several people around her put their hands into their arms to ease the pain, then she realized that everyone was feeling the same.

I'm just enduring it.

She was too busy washing vegetables and cooking just now, so she didn't have the chance to get close to No. 27. Now that she was washing clothes, she could finally talk to him.

She came over and said hurriedly, "Sister, can I wash it for you?"

Number 27 was a little flattered: "Why are you calling me sister? I'm much older than you. I can be your aunt."

"I didn't think you were that old."

"I...I also forgot how old I am. I just feel like I'm very old."

The reason why Su Lanyin called her sister was because only her hair was gray, but the skin on her face did not look very old.

If he had black hair, No. 27 would probably be in his thirties.

She asked in a low voice: "Sister, can you lend me a piece of paper?"

Number 27 was stunned for a moment: "What do you want paper for? Do you want to record it too?"

Su Lanyin nodded: "I just want to record how many days I've been here... Can you give me a copy?"

Number 27 hesitated, and she said reluctantly, "I only have three left. I'll give you one... I'm afraid I won't be able to remember it for much longer."

"Maybe you'll be able to get out soon, so there's no need to record it."

Hearing this, No. 27 smiled and said, "You're right. Maybe I'll be able to get out soon... Although I know this is impossible, I haven't heard such encouraging words for a long time. Thank you."

"So you agree to lend it to me?"

"Of course, I'll give it to you when I get back later."

"Thank you, you really helped me a lot!"
