"That's all."

Ye Lan looked at the boy's particularly bruised half of his face. He was obviously unconscious and beaten. The boy tried to take away the pills. He couldn't help but move the corners of his lips to say something, but in the end he just couldn't do it because of his cold nature. He whispered two words, "That's enough."

That's enough.

Wu Heng then fed her the medicine, and after Ye Lan's condition improved a little, the two of them had time to observe their surroundings.

They were in a cave, which was long and wide enough to accommodate two large trucks traveling side by side. The places against the walls on both sides were full of people sleeping, and all of them were in ragged clothes. It was very different from what they saw in other places on the Mysterious Island, and looked very similar. homeless people gathered in the subway.

After a while, the young man who left before came back with a bowl of water and a piece of bread in his hand.

"Here, this is your food for today. There is only so much left. What you save is my rations." There was still reluctance in his gesture of passing the food.

Ye Lan and Wu Heng both grew up in the fairy mountains and knew the value of food, so they did not show any pretense or refuse. They thanked them and took them, sharing a piece of bread and a bowl of water equally.

"Hehe, you are different from the rich people before. You seem to be able to endure hardships, and you are not noisy and annoying. You should also remember when you live here in the future, don't yell, otherwise you will be punished. ." The young man saw their actions and felt a little strange, so he squatted down to chat again.

Hearing this, Ye Lan stopped eating the bread, raised his eyes and looked over, "Has anyone been imprisoned here like us before?"

"Hey, that's a lot." The young man laughed when he heard this, pointing to a group of people nearby, "These are all, I heard that they used to be famous and wealthy people outside."

Ye Lan subconsciously looked at the old man next door, but he couldn't see the slightest aura of a superior person from him, so he frowned and said, "Then why are they locked up here?"

"Kidnapping requires a ransom." The young man shrugged and said with an indifferent expression: "The people living here are not good people in the first place. They need entertainment, so some people use these cave dwellers to do all kinds of shady business. But usually they give They won't release the people for ransom, and they will kill them when they go crazy and can't stand it anymore, and throw them directly into the sea to feed the fish."

The mysterious island is an Eden for internationally wanted criminals, and those who can obtain residency qualifications are all guilty of serious crimes.

People who have donated blood on their hands will not restrain their greed, so the crime will still be carried out, but the target will be changed to the guests on the mysterious island.

However, "After getting the ransom, why didn't you tear up the ticket immediately?" Ye Lan immediately noticed this loophole.

Wasting food every day to feed a group of people is not a small expense, so why bother?

"They don't dare, because there are regulations on the Mysterious Island. Unless you die of natural old age, you are not allowed to kill people casually, and the identity of the deceased must be verified. If the news of the rich man's murder spreads, the management of the Mysterious Island will hold him accountable." The young man said The reason.

Because it is a private transaction, the management can turn a blind eye, but if it goes too far, they cannot cover up the fire and cannot protect these criminals.

So after getting the ransom, they imprisoned the hostages and tortured them for several years or more than ten years until the outside world forgot about them and then slowly released them. Naturally, no one would care about them at that time.

This mature industrial chain...

Ye Lan suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart, so he asked the young man in front of him, "How many years have you been here?"

The young man grinned when he heard this, and said with a bright smile: "I was born here. I am 23 this year. You must be younger than me."

He calls her "Miss Sister", but she is the youngest in the cave. She is used to calling her elders, but she is actually not too young.

However, the other party's behavior is very childish, and sometimes people ignore their age.

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly someone inside shouted, "Yao'er, the old kid is sick again."

The young man who was still smiling suddenly became serious, jumped up and ran inside.

Ye Lan remembered that the other party made money by treating people's illnesses, and thought about it for a while and asked Wu Heng to follow him to take a look.

After a while, Wu Heng returned and briefly talked about the situation inside, "There is an old man, who looks like he is in his 90s. All the muscles and veins in his body are broken. It is too humid here, and the monsoon period will aggravate his body pain."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed out from inside. A closer look revealed that it was Yao'er who was carrying a large package and had changed into clean clothes. It looked like he was about to leave the cave.

Ye Lan signaled Wu Heng to stop him.

"What are you doing? I have business right now and I don't have time to chat with you." Yao'er shook off Wu Heng's arm.

Originally, Wu Heng was pressing him hard, but he didn't expect that he would be pulled away. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "I'll go with you."

"No, you can't leave the cave." Yao'er refused.

Wu Heng wanted to say something more, but he was blocked by several people next to him.

Without any grievance or hatred, Wu Heng couldn't take action and could only watch the person disappear at the entrance of the cave.

Those few people were not vicious people. Instead, they were older and kind-looking. They took the initiative to explain: "It's not that Yao'er won't take you out, it's that we sheep can't go out. There are checkpoints outside. Once there are no brand-name cards showing up, they will be dealt with." Drop it. We all managed to hide a famous card to let Yao'er out, but he has been refusing to leave the mysterious island because he misses his master, the old kid."

These people sighed as they spoke, and they probably left the mysterious island with Yao'er in their arms to help them spread the news, let their families know that they were still alive, and come to the island to rescue them.

But Yao'er is powerless and was born in a cave and has never seen the outside world. Even if he leaves the mysterious island, he is still unfamiliar with life. Even if his family is found, it is estimated that it will be difficult to search for the mysterious island. Location returns here.

Therefore, gradually, the hope in their hearts disappeared, and they gave up completely. They did not complain about Yao'er coming in and out with a name card, but were moved by his filial piety, leaving a trace of warmth in their desperate life.

"Little brother, sit down. Maybe I can buy something to eat this time, so you don't have to share a portion of food and starve." An old man advised.

Wu Heng also knew that there was no hope of chasing her out, so he quietly sat back next to the girl.

Ye Lan was still very weak and spent most of the time resting with her eyes closed. She didn't talk much, but several old men and women nearby looked at her frequently. It wasn't until Wu Heng stared at them warily that he expressed his doubts.

"Usually, people who are as beautiful as this little girl will deprive themselves of what they can enjoy and stay at home as a servant. They will never see anyone for the rest of their lives. They will rarely be sent here to fend for themselves. ."

Therefore, this cave is generally filled with older women, and there are very few young people, let alone such a delicate-looking girl.

Knowing the methods of those robbers, Wu Heng frowned in discomfort and felt disgusted, but he also understood that those people did not dare to treat Ye Lan as a forbidden wife.

After all, a god of death who had cleaned up a hundred floors of the Glade Tower was crazy enough to dare to keep her by his side.
