Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 241 Resurrection Pill

"Wake up! Wake up!"

Niu Dan shook Zhao Xiaobing desperately, and soon, Zhao Xiaobing woke up in a daze.

"How dare you kidnap me! Fuck you! I... Hey, aren't you Sister Ran's younger brother?"

As if frightened by Zhao Xiaobing's harsh words, Niu Dan took a step back and then replied:

"Yes! We were kidnapped by someone today. Do you know where this is?"

Zhao Xiaobing got out of the sack and untied the sacks of others while replying:

"They are the dogs of the government! They have tied us up several days ago, fed us knockout drugs every day, and only given us one steamed bun a day. What a bunch of black-hearted dogs!"

Zhao Xiaobing was cursing but controlling his volume very well until all the sacks were untied. He stopped talking and was completely stunned when he looked at the children who were still in a coma.

"No, no!"

"What's wrong?" Niu Dan saw Zhao Xiaobing mumbling, but couldn't hear clearly what he said.

Zhao Xiaobing looked at Niu Dan suddenly, his eyes bloodshot. He grabbed Niu Dan's shoulders with terrifying strength.

"The number of people is wrong! Dalu and Chengcheng are missing!"

Luo Xingchen did not forget his duty as a lookout. Although he heard Zhao Xiaobing's out-of-control screams, he still carefully looked outside through the crack in the door.

Suddenly, a faint light rose in the distance, and gradually, the dim lights came closer and closer, and it was coming this way!

"Brother Niudan, someone is coming!" Chen'er ran to Niudan and reminded him in a low but anxious voice.

Niu Dan was startled and quickly leaned over to check the crack in the door. Sure enough, someone was walking towards him with a torch.

"Oh no! They should be here to bring us steamed buns. If they find out that we have escaped from the sacks, it will be bad!" Zhao Xiaobing gritted his teeth and said, "Quick! Tie up all the sacks!"

……

"Squeak-"

The black lacquered wooden door was pushed open and footsteps were heard into the house. Judging from the sounds, there shouldn't be many people coming.

Niu Dan in the sack swallowed nervously. He placed the cut side of the sack close to Luo Xingchen's sack next to it, hoping that people outside would not notice the crack.

"Wake up!"

"Wake up!"

Outside there were sounds of sacks being untied and people being called, followed by the crying of a child who had woken up.

"One steamed bun per person, eat quickly!"

"do not Cry!"

"If you cry again, I'll throw you all into the well and drown you!"

After a few scoldings, the children were so scared that they dared not make a sound. They picked up the steamed buns that had just been thrown on the ground and began to gobble them up.

When the sack was untied, Zhao Xiaobing first pretended to wake up, then made a frightened expression like everyone else, and finally he began to eat the steamed bun tremblingly.

Luo Xingchen and Niu Dan were at the very edge and were the last two people to be served food.

Hearing someone untying Luo Xingchen's sack, Niu Dan held his breath nervously, fearing that the young Luo Xingchen would be exposed.

Soon, the "unconscious" Luo Xingchen woke up. He followed the example of others and reached out to grab the steamed bun on the ground to eat.

Carefully tearing off the dusty outer skin of the steamed bun to reveal the clean bun meat inside, Luo Xingchen then put the bun into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, a pair of big hands suddenly grabbed Luo Xingchen's wrist and twisted it heavily -

"what!"

Luo Xingchen cried out in pain, and the steamed bun in his hand fell to the ground.

"You're the only one who's picky. Others just stuff it into their mouths as soon as they get it, but you still want to eat it all?"

The man who twisted Luo Xingchen's wrist had an ordinary appearance, a long face, and a ferocious look, as if he had some blood feud with the five-year-old child in front of him.

Luo Xingchen was at a loss for a moment, his whole hand was clamped tightly, and the tremendous pain made him speechless for a while.

It was the skinny man carrying the steamed buns bag at the back who spoke up, "Why are you mad at him? Hurry up and finish making the steamed buns. Let's go back and have a drink."

The long-faced man snorted coldly and then untied Niu Dan's sack. Niu Dan closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious, but his hand was secretly pulling the torn part of the sack to prevent being exposed.

Unexpectedly, the long-faced man suddenly waved his hand and slapped Niu Dan hard on the face, knocking him directly onto Luo Xingchen.

The sack on Niu Dan fell off, but fortunately everyone's attention was attracted by this sudden change and no one noticed the broken sack under Niu Dan.

"Brother Niudan, are you okay?" Luo Xingchen exclaimed and wanted to help Niudan up, but he forgot that his right hand was also broken. As soon as he touched Niudan, his whole hand hurt so much that he finally fell to the ground with Niudan.

Seeing this, the long-faced man burst into laughter, and his small eyes narrowed into slits, like two twisted worms.

"There aren't enough little beggars in the city, but I have to go to the trouble of catching you two as well. What a waste of effort!"

After saying that, he turned around and took out the last steamed bun from the bag in the skinny man's hand, threw it in front of Niu Dan, and stomped on it twice with a malicious look on his face:

"I told you to eat! Eat it well!"

Niu Dan didn't care about his fall. When he saw that Luo Xingchen, who fell to the ground with him, had red and swollen hands, his eyes suddenly turned red and he glared at the long-faced man fiercely.

The long-faced man was already unhappy with Niu Dan and Luo Xingchen, whom he had specially gone to Hexi Village to capture. When he saw that Niu Dan dared to glare at him, he became completely enraged and pulled Niu Dan up by his clothes.

"You're brave enough to glare at me! Then I'll let you go tonight!"

At this moment, Zhao Xiaobing's voice suddenly rang out.

"Excuse me, sirs, where are you taking this ignorant kid?"

The long-faced man paused and turned to look at Zhao Xiaobing. Seeing him nodding and bowing, with only curiosity on his face and no provocation, he felt relieved.

"Alright! I can't let you die unjustly. Since you are all awake, I will show mercy and tell you all at once."

The skinny man looked impatient and just wanted to quickly serve the meal to these little beggars and then go have a drink. He didn't understand why the long-faced man was still delaying here.

What's there to say? We're all going to die anyway!

"Have you heard of the Soul-Restoring Pill? Each pill of this medicine requires the heart of a young boy or girl as a medicine guide. Taking the Soul-Restoring Pill can save your life, ward off disasters, and prolong your life. It is the favorite of the rich and powerful!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the children in the room turned pale. The one who reacted the most was the beef egg in the long-faced man's hand.

"Let me go! I don't want to be a drug inducer! Let me go!"

Niu Dan shouted and struggled, but all he got in return was another slap from the long-faced man.

"Behave yourself! Anyway, as long as your heart is intact, it's fine. If you make trouble again, I will punish you severely and then cut out your heart!"

The ox egg stopped moving.

"Dalu, Chengcheng... and Xiaochuanzi have been captured and used to make elixirs, right?"

Zhao Xiaobing spoke again, his voice still humble and flattering, but if you listened carefully, you could detect the coldness in it.
