After the doctor came, he checked Yang Zhuoying's body, and comforted them: "This lady is fine, but she has been soaking in the sea for too long, and she got cold, and the cold in her body couldn't come out, so she developed a fever. It's all right. Give her a dose of medicine, and she will be fine after sweating."

As he spoke, he took out a pack of traditional Chinese medicine from the medicine box, and wrote several drug names on the prescription, asking the old man to add it to the medicine pack and cook together later.

Zhou Bo always sees his own doctor, so he has no choice but to ask the old man for help.

Looking at the unconscious Yang Zhuoying, Zhou Bo felt guilty.

It's all his fault, he called her out, if anything happens to her, he will have a bad conscience for the rest of his life.

The doctor's medical skills were very good, and Yang Zhuoying's fever subsided not long after taking the medicine, and she woke up the next morning.

"You're awake." Seeing her open her eyes, Zhou Bo hurriedly stepped forward and asked her if she felt any discomfort and if she wanted some water.

"I..." Yang Zhuoying opened her mouth to say something, but found that her voice was hoarse and her throat was dry and sore.

Zhou Bo quickly poured a glass of wet boiled water, and helped her sit up to drink.

After drinking water, she regained her sanity. Yang Zhuoying looked around and found that this was neither a ship nor a hospital.

"Where is this place?"

Putting down the cup, Zhou Bo told her how he found the owner of the house after she passed out, and with the help of the other party, he told the story of how they brought them here.

"Tomorrow morning, the old man will arrange for us to leave. I promised him that after we leave, we can't tell anyone about what happened here."

After hearing what he said, Yang Zhuoying thought the same as him, this place should be some mysterious base, if you don't want to get into trouble, it's better to pretend you don't know anything.

Seeing that she woke up, Zhou Bo asked her if she wanted to eat something. After all, she hadn’t eaten all day. She didn’t have much appetite, but she also knew that if she didn’t eat, she would have no energy. Thinking that this place is not a place for reassurance, she still felt that she needed to eat something. Get well soon, so she insisted on eating a bowl of noodles.

"By the way, how is Xiao Ming?"

Xiao Ming was the bodyguard protecting Yang Zhuoying this time. When she woke up, she didn't see him, so she asked casually.

"He woke up earlier than you, and he was next door. However, his foot was sprained, and his movement was a bit inconvenient, so he has been resting on the bed."

Zhou Bo took Yang Zhuoying's empty bowl, got up and took it to the kitchen. When he came back, he found that she had fallen asleep again.

Gently covering her with a quilt, Zhou Bo was worried that her condition would recur, so he sat on the chair beside the bed and slept for a while.

Zhou Bo was awakened by the sound of footsteps. When he opened his eyes, he saw the old man pushing the door open.

Rubbing his eyes, he saw that it was dawn, so he asked the old man, "Is the boat arranged and ready to send us away?"

The old man shook his head solemnly, "Things have changed, our island owner came back suddenly, we can't let people discover your existence, otherwise, you won't be able to leave."

Zhou Bo quickly realized that once they were discovered, they might be treated as spies.

"Old man, please help us, we can't stay here."

"From now on, you can't leave here until the master leaves."

Saying that, the old man asked Zhou Bo to help Yang Zhuoying get up and hide in the basement.

The moment the door to the basement was closed, Yang Zhuoying's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something had been overlooked.

"Xiao Ming." After a while, she remembered that Mr. Bodyguard, whom they had forgotten, was still up there.

"Is he going to be okay?"

"Probably not, the old man will send him down soon." Zhou Bo comforted.

However, Xiao Ming was not sent down for a long time, and the door of the dungeon was never opened again.

"How long have we been down?"

Before coming down, Zhou Bo didn't know how long he was going to hide here, so he asked the old man for some water and food, and when he ate half of the food, Yang Zhuoying couldn't help asking.

"We got down at around nine o'clock in the morning yesterday, and now it is 05:30 in the afternoon." Zhou Bo looked at his watch, feeling a little uneasy.

They have been down for so long, but Xiao Ming was not sent down, and it is not known whether Xiao Ming was discovered or something happened.

"Why don't we go up quietly and have a look?" Yang Zhuoying suggested that they only have enough food for a day or two, even if they don't go up now, they still need it in two days.

Zhou Boben also had the same idea, so the two tiptoed to the door and reached out to push the door, but it couldn't be pushed open, and the door was locked from the outside.

Seeing this, Yang Zhuoying had a bad feeling, and knocked on the door tentatively, "Is there anyone outside? Can you open the door?"

After waiting for a while, I couldn't hear any movement.

Zhou Bo also joined in knocking on the door, but still no one opened the door. He put his ear on the door, trying to hear the movement outside, but he didn't hear anything.

The two looked at each other and realized that something was wrong.

Have they fallen for a trap?Yang Zhuoying had this idea before Xiao Ming appeared, but she never said it out.

At this time, the idea was so strong that it was difficult for her to deceive herself.

"It's probably just that we were thinking too much. If the old man really wanted to deal with us, he wouldn't save us. He could even kill us by adding ingredients to our meals. Why bother coaxing us to come down?"

As if to see through her thoughts, but also to convince himself, Zhou Bo forced a smile and said.

Yang Zhuoying nodded as if convinced, "You're right, but something must have happened outside, otherwise, there wouldn't be such a long silence."

In fact, she thinks there is another explanation: at the beginning, the old man didn't have any malice towards them, and he really wanted to help them. Later, something might have happened that made him change his mind and want to keep them. Seeing that they were about to leave, Just use this method to trick them into taking the initiative.

Yang Zhuoying didn't express this thought, but said firmly: "We must find a way to get out of here, we can't just sit and wait for death."

Zhou Bo agrees with this.

The two discussed it. If they want to leave here, there are only two ways. One is for the other party to open the door on their own initiative, and the other is to find a way to lure the other party to open the door.

Then, they took turns knocking on the door to attract the attention of outsiders. However, they clapped until their hands were swollen, and there was no movement, as if they had been completely forgotten here.

After another few hours, the two sat on the ground exhausted, their throats were almost choked, and they were sore and dry.

After drinking the last half bottle of mineral water, Yang Zhuoying made up her mind and said, "Why don't we knock the door open."

They still have some strength now, otherwise, in another day or two, without water and food, they will have to wait to die.

Zhou Bo turned his head and glanced at the closed wooden door behind him, somewhat doubting whether this method was feasible.

The door was made of solid wood, even if he was full and brave, he might not have knocked the door open, let alone now.

"Go down and find something."
