Chapter 220: Facing death, coming up with an awesome plan
On this side Chu Qing-Yan was calm, she didn't argue or make any noise. Those patrolling Daoist priests were originally worried about her. Now seeing her so obedient and clever, they lessened their surveillance of her. In threes and twos, those patrol groups drank alcohol on the side and played finger guessing games.
Chu Qing-Yan watched their movements closely, seeing they had already relaxed their vigilance with each playing their own games, she examined the area around the wooden prison. It just so happened that in order to save s.p.a.ce, these wooden prisons were all together. At a glance, she saw those frightened children with pair of eyes that were at a loss, they were cowering at the corner of the wooden prison. Some were even sobbing in a whisper.
At this time she tried to placate those crying children. Hence she said to the little girl closest to her. "Little younger sister, are you the common citizens in Ping Yang city?"
"I am, she isn't. She is from the neighboring city." A girl that had two pigtails who was slightly more courageous replied on behalf of that little girl that didn't speak.
Chu Qing-Yan thought to herself, this Liu Ying and that Daoist priest didn't just grab people from his own city, his hand even reached into other cities.
"Where did you come from? How did you get grabbed and sent in here?" A young boy about ten years old glanced at Chu Qing-Yan and suddenly said this. When she first entered, he noticed her. Every child that first entered here would be crying or making a ruckus, only she was cautious, obedient and clever. As if she didn't know that what was waiting for her was a ma.s.sacre.
Chu Qing-Yan looked in the direction of the speaker. She saw that in the area two wooden prisons away from her, one youth was looking in her direction. How should she describe this young boy ah? Sword like eyebrows, star like eyes, although his clothing was shabby and his face was covered in mud, it was hard to cover his calm manner. His pair of eyes were especially bright.
"I came from another part of the country. Just arrived in Ping Yang city and was caught." Chu Qing-Yan replied with minor details, keeping silent about the important things. In any case, telling him too much would not be useful.
"En." That youth was silent for a short while, soon after he said to her. "These people plan to use us to refine medicine. We might not live past tonight!"
