The president's wife with one child and five treasures is the favorite of the group

He opened his shriveled mouth and made a very inarticulate sound from his throat.

But it is not difficult to tell, what he said is: "You... are too... cruel..."

"I'm ruthless? No! This is the retribution you deserve!"

The woman's wanton laughter spread throughout the room, even Huangfu Liyue, who was hiding behind the wooden cabinet, found it extremely ear-piercing.

After laughing, she looked at the weak old man in the tank, and said sarcastically, "What? You can't hold on to your old bones anymore?"

Speaking of this, she snorted coldly, and said again: "If you can't hold on, you have to hold on, otherwise, what face do you have to go underground to meet your family's ancestors?"

As if touched by these words, the old man in the tank slowly closed his eyes, with a faint glint in the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, the woman was not moved at all, but found it ridiculous.

"If I knew this earlier, why did you cause everything today!"

There was resentment in her tone, she looked at the man in the vat, her eyes were full of hatred, as if she wanted to swallow him alive.

But looking at his now old face, his emaciated state, the hatred in his eyes gradually faded away.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw a row of inconspicuous footprints behind the water tank.

This room has not been cleaned for a long time, and there is a layer of dust on the ground. If someone steps on it, there must be some marks.

This footprint extends all the way to the old wooden cabinet in front.

The woman looked at the old wooden cabinet, her cloudy eyes instantly filled with a bone-piercing chill.

At this moment, Huangfu Liyue also sensed that something was wrong.

The room was suddenly eerily quiet, and she also saw some shallow footprints beside her.

Although he couldn't see the old woman's face outside, he took a deep breath.

That woman probably found her.

Just as he was at a loss, he was ready to confront the woman face to face, but suddenly he heard the voice of the woman walking out.

After a while, there was another sound of locking the door outside.

Seeing that there was no movement in the house, Huangfu Liyue poked her head out to check the situation.

The woman left as expected, leaving only the half-dead old man in the water tank.

She walked out slowly.

The old man in the tank also gradually opened his eyes to look at her, his eyes full of prayers.

She glanced at the old man.

The water tank that imprisoned him was welded to the ground, and the whole water tank was tightly bound by thick and long iron chains. She couldn't save him at all.

Besides, she doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Seeing that there was no way out that she was looking for, she said to the old man, "Sorry to bother you."

Then, she turned around and prepared to leave here.

But as soon as she stepped out of this room, the old man trapped in the water tank suddenly made a sound towards her.

"I can...can...help...you..."

Hearing the vague tone in his mouth, she stopped for a moment, turned to look at him, and guessed: "You mean, can you help me get out of here?"

The old man made a difficult gesture of nodding.

"Save... the great-grandson."

He had difficulty pronouncing words because he lost his tongue.

Huangfu Liyue frowned faintly.

"You want to say, let me help save your great-grandson, and then help me get out of here?"

"Uh!"

The old man's eyes became clearer, and he nodded slowly.

Huangfu Liyue refused without thinking.

"Forget it, I can't protect myself, I have no ability to save your grandson, I'd better find a way to leave by myself!"

She was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Your great-grandson, wouldn't it be the four men locked in the yard in front? One of them is Xihe."

Thinking about it carefully, those men were probably in their early twenties.

And this old man should be in his eighties or nineties.

Just now, the old woman who came here to visit him said that she wanted him to die.

These are connected together, and she has this kind of conjecture.

The old man nodded heavily, and said, "Yes."

Huangfu Liyue looked at him curiously.

"You were all imprisoned here by the old lady who just came?"

The old man's wrinkled eyelids drooped. Although he didn't answer, his sad eyes said everything.

Huangfu Liyue looked at the water tank in front of her, and became even more puzzled.

"What is the deep hatred between you and that old lady, that she wants to treat you like this?"

The old man sighed and refused to answer.

Looking at his sad face, Huangfu Liyue was not so blind, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Considering that Xihe was arrested because of her, it would be too inhumane for her to refuse the old man's prayer.

"Grandpa, I'm powerless to save, I'm not from country E, I was captured by the queen and brought to the castle, and now the queen is still sending people to look for me, so I can't protect myself.

Furthermore, since that grandma was able to lock you and your great-grandchildren here, she must have a high status in Country E.

If I want to save someone from her, I have no chance of winning at all, and maybe I will put myself in it. "

The old man frowned.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly said to her, "Come on..."

Huangfu Liyue gradually walked towards him.

When he came up to him, he suddenly tilted his neck back very hard.

A cover was sealed at the mouth of the tank, and there was a hole in the cover the size of his neck, just enough for him to stretch his neck without being strangled to death.

He leaned back, revealing a little gap in front of his neck.

"hand……"

Huangfu Liyue understood what he meant, and stretched out her hand along the gap in front of his neck.

But the gap was too small, and before her hand was fully inserted, the old man's face twisted due to difficulty breathing.

She quickly took her hand back.

"Grandpa, are you okay?"

The old man is already old, and he has been tortured in this vat for too long, and has reached the stage of dying.

She was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head with difficulty, opened and closed his mouth a few times.

Huangfu Liyue heard it, he was saying: "Leave me alone."

The old man seemed to want her to reach for something.

"But, Grandpa, this gap is not big enough to hold my whole hand, I'm afraid..."

She was very hesitant.

This old man was on the verge of death, if he couldn't bear the suffocation and died for a while, wouldn't she be guilty?

The old man struggled to speak, so he simply looked at her with pleading eyes.

"beg……"

After a while of hesitation, she still complied.

She stretched out her hand in front of his neck again, and squeezed her hand in through the small gap.

The old man's neck was so congested that he couldn't even breathe.

But he persisted, not letting Huangfu Liyue see his discomfort.

After Huangfu Liyue reached in, she groped around.

Sure enough, a strange thing was touched on the old man's neck.

Seeing that the old man looked a little uncomfortable, she brought this thing out without even thinking about it.

At this time, the old man had difficulty in breathing, he couldn't even catch his breath, and his head fell on the cylinder head like a kite with a broken string.
