Chapter 64.1

Wen Chi really wanted to know who those five women were, but their heads were all covered with hoods, and he couldn’t tell who they were from their clothes alone.

But judging from the color and style of their clothes, they should be ladies or wives from rich families.

Wen Chi guessed this in his heart, but on the surface he remained silent.

Time passed minute by minute.

After a long time, Wen Chi still didn’t know what Liu Da Shan’s next move was, so he boldly glanced in the direction where Liu Da Shan was, only to find that Liu Da Shan actually found a place to sit down, folded his arms, tilting his head and has begun to close his eyes to rest.

On the contrary, Liu Da De, who was sitting opposite Wen Chi, was still full of energy. Seeing Wen Chi’s slightly weird expression, he stood up and took two staggering steps towards Wen Chi.

Wen Chi thought that Liu Da De was going to do something to him, so he leaned back reflexively, and silently widened the distance between him and Liu Da De.

Soon, Liu Da De came to him and knelt down.

Wen Chi was a little dazed and a little frightened, he subconsciously stared with his almond eyes wide open and his light brown pupils were filled with bewilderment.

However, Liu Dade didn’t seem to see the resistance in Wen Chi’s expression, so he asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable?”

Wen Chi shook his head: “No.”

Keeping silent for a long time made his throat very dry, and his voice was extremely hoarse. After he finished speaking, he realized belatedly——that the brothers Liu Da De and Liu Da Shan had not stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth.

He remembered that Zhang Heng was not only gagged by Liu Da Shan with a handkerchief, but that handkerchief was also one that Wen Chi casually left aside.

Thinking of this, Wen Chi immediately pursed his lips, almost writing the words “I’m dumb” on his face.

After listening to Wen Chi’s answer, Liu Da De nodded but didn’t say anything else, instead he got up and returned to his seat and sat down.

Along the way, the carriage staggered.

Except for Zhang Heng, whose mouth was gagged and groaned in pain from time to time, everyone else was very quiet, especially the five women, who seemed to be terrified, curled up and leaned together tremblingly, not daring to make any sound .

Wen Chi tried his best to choose a comfortable position to lean on, but he was tied with a rope. No matter how many times he changed his position, it was extremely uncomfortable.

Slowly, he felt numbness in his limbs and a little shortness of breath, so he could only try to lift his chin and inhale forcefully with his mouth open.

After a while, Liu Da De, who was sitting across from him, noticed the movement on his side again, so he got up and walked over, squatting down in front of him again.

Liu Da De asked: “Do you feel uncomfortable?”

This same question as before made Wen Chi a little speechless, Wen Chi paused, and said rather embarrassedly: “Maybe the rope is tied too tightly, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable.”

“Really? I remember that I tied it very loosely.” As Liu Da De said so, he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and cut off the two ropes on Wen Chi’s body. “Is it better now?” 

The constraint around his neck suddenly disappeared, and it was not just better, it was much better!

Wen Chi felt his breathing was much smoother.

“Thank you, Big Brother.”

“Hai.” Liu Da De said, “You’re welcome.”

After speaking, Liu Dade put away the dagger and returned to his position.

He didn’t know exactly how long the carriage had been traveling for and it was only when Wen Chi was shaken to the point of dizziness that he vaguely felt the carriage come to a halt.

Liu Da Shan, who had just woken up, was still a little sleepy. He rubbed his eyes, picked up the hood at hand and put it on Wen Chi’s head, and then took all the hostages out of the carriage.

Wen Chi listened intently and found that the five women seemed to have been brought down as well.

Then it was a short walk up the road again.

It was just that Wen Chi could clearly feel that the environment here was not as good as the place he had lived before; the ground beneath his feet was a puddle and a little soft, like he was walking on mud, and he seemed to smell some poultry.

Before Wen Chi  could think about it, he was pushed into a room.

There was the sound of the door being locked behind him and soon a hand came and took off the hood on his head.

The darkness in front of Wen Chi’s eyes was suddenly replaced by light, so he quickly squinted his eyes and it took a long while before he could barely adapt to the surrounding light.

Liu Da Shan quickly cut off the rope on his body with a dagger, threw the rope on the ground, and said: “You guys stay here first and let us know if you need anything. It’s the same old saying, as long as you are obedient , we will never treat you badly.”

Wen Chi nodded silently

Liu Da Shan said again: “The bedding and quilts are ready and I will bring your meals later.”

Wen Chi silently nodded again.

After Liu Da Shan finished speaking, he left the room with Liu Da De.

Wen Chi looked around the room and found that the environment here was indeed not as good as the place where he lived before. Not only was it much older, but even the air was filled with a sense of dampness and there was even a faint smell of poultry.

After sizing up, Wen Chi couldn’t help sighing and was about to sit on the stool to take a rest, but before he could even get his butt down, he heard an eager muffled sound coming from the side.

Wen Chi turned his head to look, only to find that there was a big living person in the room——Zhang Heng.

Poor Zhang Heng was still tied up like a rice dumpling, with a black hood on his head and a handkerchief in his mouth. He was thrown in the corner by the two brothers from the moment he entered the door.

Wen Chi hurried over, took off the hood on Zhang Heng’s head and removed the handkerchief from his mouth.

Overnight the bruises on Zhang Heng’s face seemed to be more serious than before and even his eyes were swollen like ping pong balls but these did not stop him from staring at Wen Chi with resentful eyes.

Zhang Heng opened his mouth and said, “You must be with them.”
