Chapter 1762: Chapter 1762: Are You Human or Ghost?
Nangong Ruyue’s expression changed slightly, surprised that the other child was still alive.
She immediately felt relieved and happy. It’s good that the child is still alive.
She smiled and nodded emphatically: [Rest assured, I want to rescue them even more than you do. If there’s anything you need my help with, just let me know.]
******************
Jian Yufei woke up feeling sore all over.
This wretched place, let alone sleep, even staying for a minute is unbearable.
She washed her face and hands with the remaining bottled water and rinsed her mouth.
Then she didn’t know what to do, so she sat on the bed staring blankly.
A few hours later, the skylight opened again, and food was thrown down.
Jian Yufei rushed over and shouted, "I want to see Nangong Xu! I have something very important. If he wants it, he’d better come see me!"
The food was thrown down, the skylight closed, and no one paid her any attention.
Jian Yufei: "..."
If he doesn’t see her, he’ll regret it!
Jian Yufei felt grateful she had Mo Lan take away the Double Dragon Ring; Nangong Xu can’t manage the family without it.
With the ring in hand, Jian Yufei felt much more at ease. At the very least, she had a bargaining chip to threaten Nangong Xu.
She hadn’t eaten anything all day yesterday, and she was already starving.
The rats here were terrifying. She’d better eat her food quickly.
Jian Yufei bent down to pick up the bun, opened the plastic bag, and took a big bite. As she was about to take a second bite, a sudden pain in her head caused her to faint.
...
She wasn’t unconscious for long, just a few minutes.
When she came to, Jian Yufei felt the back of her head, got up, and found her bun was gone again!
This time she was one hundred percent sure that the being upstairs wasn’t a rat, but a person!
Even if not a person, it had to be a high-intelligence animal, like a monkey or a gorilla.
Jian Yufei propped herself up and looked above: "Who’s up there? Come out, stop playing tricks!"
Damn it, they had locked her up with something, and it was terrifying.
No one above answered her.
Jian Yufei said with good temper: "I mean no harm, come out and let me know if you’re human or ghost."
"..."
"Hey, you’ve stolen three meals from me; I’m going to starve to death. Can’t you come out and let me see you?"
"..."
"I have roast chicken, roast duck, and lots and lots of buns here. Do you want some?" Jian Yufei swallowed; she wanted to eat too.
Buns were now a delicacy to her.
Still no sound from above.
Jian Yufei was puzzled. From yesterday to today, aside from hearing a bit of plastic bag noise, she hadn’t heard any other sounds.
What on earth was living up there? How could it make no sound at all?
Was there a toilet up there? How did it manage without going to the bathroom?
Right, she couldn’t believe it wouldn’t come down for a bathroom break!
Jian Yufei sat on the bed, staring up, planning to wait for it to come down.
She just couldn’t believe it wouldn’t come down for a bathroom break.
After waiting for a few hours, it really hadn’t come down, and there was no sound at all, as if being knocked out earlier was just an illusion.
Oh no, there was a sound—the sound of Jian Yufei’s stomach growling.
Starving, she couldn’t let it eat the next meal, or she’d go crazy from hunger.
Thankfully, it didn’t need water; otherwise, she wouldn’t even have that to drink.
Jian Yufei was so hungry and had no choice but to drink water to fill her stomach, which only made her keep running to the bathroom.
