The robbers outside put a stove in the room, and people would come in regularly to add firewood to prevent the people here from freezing to death.

Looking around, I saw that there were dozens of people locked up in this room that was not more than ten square meters!

Therefore, it seems extremely crowded, but it is precisely because of this that these people squeeze together to maintain the last trace of warmth.

"here it is......cell?"

Xiaoxue subconsciously touched her neck, but......Also, now that he has been arrested, how can he still keep something as valuable as a gem?

She stood up and stepped on the cold stone floor with her bare feet. The tingling sensation in her feet, which were already red from the cold, became even more intense. She knew that she doubted whether her toes would be like those of climbers climbing snow-capped mountains. Also frozen?

When she came to the door, even though it was just a wooden door, she still couldn't open it. It wasn't the kind with a keyhole, so she couldn't pry it open, and she didn't know how to do it.

Although she subconsciously wanted to knock on the door, after thinking about it, this behavior would only anger those outside, and it was very likely that she would get punched again!

Xiaoxue felt a sense of powerlessness at this moment. She sat directly by the door, her fingers and toes curling up on their own due to the cold. She seemed a little frustrated. She exhaled a white breath and looked at the last piece of her right hand that had become very thin. Broken cherry blossom petals, she is very confused now

"snort.......save?"

She sat blankly for a while, then ignored the cold wall behind her, leaned directly against it, and said mockingly:"I have just begun, and everything is over........"

"Sure enough, it's too difficult for me to do this kind of thing"

"I......After all, I don’t have the ability to be a so-called savior......."

"I've always been the one being saved......Do you agree?"She gently touched the mark on the back of her hand. That mark had saved her four times, and the fifth time.....She didn't know if it was saved, but at least the mark seemed to have become very faint due to the traces of use. As for why it didn't disappear completely, she didn't know.

Since there is no way to rely on others, then you can only rely on yourself!

But as a smart girl, she knew that it would be extremely difficult to escape just by relying on her own strength, and the people around her didn't look like they could help her. And if you continue to stay here, you can easily guess what will happen to you later.

It's probably like what those people said.........

She forced herself not to think randomly, but this was obviously impossible. Under such circumstances, it was the most difficult to stop these thoughts.

Didn't you see that the other people around you were now blind-eyed, were you ready to quietly accept your fate?

Moreover, some people still have bruises on their bodies. It is obvious that they have been punched and kicked many times, and now they have completely lost their anger.

Creak - suddenly, without warning, the door is opened

"Hey, hey, hey——!"

Before the people outside came in, some of the people in the house showed fear and hurriedly got up and ran away from the door. It was obvious that those who had suffered a lot, and many of them were holding their heads up stupidly. At first, it seemed that those people were all arrested together with Xiaoxue. Apparently they had not recovered from the previous panic and had not experienced the word fear at all!

Xiaoxue also stood up and leaned against the wall to make herself less conspicuous.

Outside the door were a bunch of robbers, and one in the middle was richly dressed, but he looked fat and had a big belly. He had a bunch of gems and gold and silver ornaments on his ten round fingers, and he was also wearing the highest quality clothes. Clothes made of fabric make the whole person look like a nouveau riche.

He was holding a greasy chicken drumstick in his hand, which made his whole hand glow with oil and crunch.

After eating a few big mouthfuls, he threw the leftover drumstick aside and then touched himself. His belly looked a little regretful:"Hey, it's really hard to lose weight. I can only eat five large chicken drumsticks every day. How can I be full?"

"Oh, Lord, do you need to lose weight?"

"I think you have a good figure?"The bandit leader standing aside said flatteringly.

"Hahaha, business has been bad recently. The people in my territory are either sick or starving to death. There are almost not many left."

"Hey, when there are fewer people, the taxes collected will be less. Doesn’t it mean we have to tighten our belts and live a better life? I have no choice but to save some money for the sake of family income, don’t you think?"Although the noble said so, the smile on his face and the oil stains on the corners of his mouth were not at all like worrying about family finances.

"Yes, this business is difficult to run. There are so many mouths in the house, and they all have to eat."The leader also nodded in agreement.

Watching the two men singing and having a playful dialogue, the people in the cell could only feel fear.

"So in order to ease the family's financial situation, I just have to endure the pain and send you out~" The lord waved his hand, and a large group of robbers rushed into the cell to arrest people everywhere. When the people in the cell heard this, a group of people suddenly became excited. Holding the companions around you, or grabbing anything you can grab, you start to resist.

"don't want!"

"I-I don’t want it!"

"Please, I'm still young, wait a minute, I'm still young!!"

These robbers have very good eyesight and can tell at a glance those who have grown up to the appropriate level, so they directly ignored the cries of these people and arrested them one by one.

"Ah ha ha——!"

The nobleman looked at a girl being taken away from him and laughed unscrupulously, as if it was harvest time now.

"You all have to be careful. That guy Charlie sent a letter before, saying that a big noble wants to come to 'discuss business'. I heard the quantity is quite large. Haha, don't hurt these goods. They won't be able to sell them at a good price. Don't blame me for turning against others! '" The nobleman said pointedly, and then picked up another chicken leg from the plate held by the attendant beside him, and ate it with a big mouthful.

"Remember to ask the maid to clean them all for me, put them into new clothes, and then take care of all the outfits for me!"

"It all looks better for me!"

"Oh~! It's quite strange to be called a big business by your boss.~!"It was the first time that the bandit leader saw the lord in such a good mood, and he asked curiously

"What kind of nobles does that guy Charlie know? Be careful not to be deceived."

"Haha, don’t worry, when the other party sent someone to deliver the letter, they also brought a deposit along with it."The nobleman laughed with satisfaction when he mentioned the deposit. It was brought in a carriage and escorted by dozens of people!

"Deposit? Heh, how many people can there be?"

"Haha, you guessed wrong this time, the deposit is a full 10,000 gold coins!"

"Eh? true and false?"The bandit leader was also shocked when he heard this. This is obviously a big deal!

"Well, and the letter also said that these are considered as face-to-face gifts. If the goods are satisfactory, the price can be determined at will!"

"Oh oh oh, it looks like a big guy is here this time."The bandit leader now completely believes that this is a big noble.

Ten thousand gold coins! That is a family's living expenses for many years!

Just give it away without even seeing him?

Then it can only show that these Money is completely worthless to him!

"Then I wish the boss a prosperous business in advance.~"

"Haha, this is also thanks to you, otherwise it would be really difficult to prepare this goods!"

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly when things are done."

"Oh~! Then thank the boss in advance~!"

The two did not shy away from the eyes and ears of the people around them. Even when they talked about this topic, the surrounding robbers also laughed together.

"By the way, the one you mentioned before, and the box and gems......"The lord was just about to go back when he remembered something.

"Oh, it's the black-haired one....."The bandit leader understood instantly and signaled his companions with his eyes.

Everyone under his command stepped forward with a knowing smile.

Xiaoxue, who had just thought she had escaped in the cell, suddenly turned pale when she heard this. Looking at the robber walking towards her, she immediately made a gesture of resistance.

The robber who came in originally didn't take the little girl seriously, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Xiaoxue grabbed his arm in advance. Then he turned around and was thrown directly out, and his head hit the stone wall on the side. Passed out

"Oh, she is still a little girl with a strong personality."The lord looked at Xiaoxue's appearance and said jokingly to the bandit leader.

"Ah ha ha....."The bandit leader looked embarrassed and felt that he had lost face, so he anxiously signaled to the people around him.

Xiaoxue watched more and more robbers coming towards her, so she wanted to use the method of using force to knock down a few more people. However, obviously with the experience of the guy lying on the ground, these people were all gone this time. Very carefully, several people immediately surrounded him.

He took her arm and dragged her to the door three times.

"Little girl, there is no need to be afraid."The lord knelt down, looked at Xiaoxue, tilted his head slightly and gestured to the side.

His men understood and took the black box and gems over.

"As long as you open this box for me, I guarantee you will be fine"

".......Do you think I would believe you, a scumbag?"Xiaoxue obviously didn't believe the words of the scumbag in front of her. She looked at him coldly and tried to anger him with words.

"Haha, very hot-tempered~!"The lord looked at Xiaoxue and didn't feel the slightest anger. Instead, he was filled with joy.

"Interesting!"
