The conversation between the two continued, but they lowered their voices. Shen Qiqi held her breath and listened, but she still couldn't hear clearly.

She was in the corner, her legs were already numb, and the conversation between the two stopped.

Shao Fuyin clenched the pills in her hands and left. She still didn't dare to move and waited calmly. She finally breathed a sigh of relief until he looked around and left.

Today's harvest was really not much. Although she heard some things, she didn't hear the most important thing.

It was very difficult to walk with her numb legs. She supported the stone wall and walked for a while, but she still hadn't walked out of the rockery.

She originally wanted to lean against the stone wall to catch her breath before walking, but as soon as she reached it, the stone wall moved and she fell down.

It looked no different from the stone wall, and she didn't expect it to be a stone door.

Although she rolled down, she bit her lower lip and did not scream. However, the sound of the stone wall closing still alarmed the people inside.

"who?"

There was only a wall between the two of them, and she had just rolled down and her body had not yet stabilized. In desperation, she could only try to retract herself into the gap under the wall.

There were several snakes spitting out their seeds under the gap, and she could feel the snake's tail gently scratching her hand.

This feeling makes people feel chilly in their hearts, and the goosebumps on their body won't go away for a long time after they appear.

She held her breath and watched the man getting closer and closer with only a small slit in her eyes.

"Who?"

Just one step away from being discovered, a female voice suddenly sounded. The person who came out to check stopped, looked around and shook his head, "No one, maybe it was the noise made by people passing by outside."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then turned around and walked back after the people inside began to urge him.

Shen Qiqi, who had escaped the disaster, finally felt her heart drop, but she still did not dare to take a deep breath.

When there was no movement inside, she got up and turned to look at the snake in the gap.

Those snakes didn't know what was going on. They seemed to be extremely afraid of her. They crawled past her and then shrank into corners.

It was like this both times. She really couldn't figure out what was on her body that could make them so scared.

She couldn't figure it out and simply gave up. She turned around and looked at the place where she had fallen down. She tried to climb up, but found that the stone was extremely slippery and she couldn't climb out by herself.

After taking a look inside the quiet place, she gritted her teeth and decided to go in and take a look.

An oil lamp was lit not far away in the cave. Although it was not bright enough, it was enough for people to see the path under their feet.

She groped inside quietly, and she was blinded by the paths extending in all directions, and she didn't even know where the way out was.

Unknowingly, she bumped into an alchemy room.

There were several fires burning in the room, with a huge alchemy furnace in the middle. Under the alchemy furnace was a deep pit with burning charcoal piled inside.

As soon as she came in, she felt waves of heat coming over her. Before she could take a few breaths, beads of sweat were already rolling down her forehead.

There is a small room on the other side. The room is filled with various torture instruments and knives. There is a stone platform in the middle, which has been stained black with blood.

The strong smell of blood hit her overwhelmingly, like a densely woven net, trapping her in it. No matter how hard she struggled, it was all in vain.

She didn't dare to get close, so she could only walk to the other side against the stone wall.

There is also a room on the other side, with an extremely exquisite bed in it. The bed is covered with a blue and pink mattress. It seems to be a room for women.

It was only after taking her to see all the furnishings in the room that she realized that this was definitely not a room for women.

She didn't believe that any woman in the world would dare to hang dozens of human skins on the wall of her room.

Those human skins seemed to be torn off alive. Even though some of them were completely dry, they could still be seen bleeding.

Two of them seemed to have been torn off in recent days. They were bright red and seemed to be crying blood.

She stared at it for several times, looking a little dazed, as if the misery of those human skins during their lifetime appeared before her eyes.

The wailing sound was like the sound of ancient bells, causing her eardrums to hurt.

She really didn't dare to look anymore, so she covered her mouth and ran away quickly.

In the panic, she actually found a way out. Seeing the flashing firelight, she suddenly felt like she had escaped from death.

She walked out of the cave, dodged the searching guards, and turned around to look, only to realize that the rockery in the garden was actually another intersection.

This time she didn't dare to rush around like a headless fly. She would carefully remember every step she took, for fear that she would run into something she shouldn't have entered again.

The Shao Mansion was so big that she ran away for who knows how long before she could find a way out.

But there is also a big advantage. Even after so long, the guards still couldn't find her.

Her health was not very good to begin with, and now that she has been hiding in fear for so long, her energy has long been exhausted.

Really unable to run away, she finally found a corner to hide, wondering whether to be rescued first or to be found by the guards first.

After she relaxed, she felt tired. She had never had a good rest. After biting her tongue countless times, she still couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I was awakened by the sound of others holding firewood.

Her cat was behind some logs. She watched the cook grab the firewood and leave, then slowly crawled out.

She didn't know how long she had slept. She only felt that it was still dark and the sound of searches in the house were still so loud.

She rubbed her trembling legs and was about to move to another place to hide when the cook who came to hold firewood turned back and their eyes met.

The two of them stared at each other for a moment. After a while, Shen Qiqi finally reacted first. Before the other party had time to scream, she picked up the stick next to her and swung it hard.

She was usually reluctant to kill even an ant, but now she didn't care about anything else for her own safety. After using up all her strength, the stick hit the wall with a muffled sound.

What followed immediately was the cook's scream that echoed through the sky.

"Come quickly, the assassin is here."

Shen Qiqi didn't expect that her aim was so bad, the stick was so long, and the two of them were so close, she didn't even hit the other person's hair.

The other party's shouts were so sharp that she seemed to have seen the guards surrounding her.

She ran away before she had time to think about it.

"People are going to the back courtyard, you should hurry up and chase them."

Before the guards could get closer, the cook quickly shouted a greeting and pointed in a remote direction, asking them to chase them quickly.

After his whereabouts were exposed, it was not easy to find a place to hide. Wherever he ran, he could see the light of fire in the distance. Shen Qiqi gritted his teeth and could only run around.
