Chapter 425: One of Them

Chapter 425: One of Them

“Miss, what happened recently?”

The woman’s husband held the woman and frowned at Lu Sheng.

They had no relatives at home anymore. They returned this time only to recuperate. They did not expect to encounter such a situation.

Yong Fu Town was peaceful. Why was it so chaotic after they left?

Lu Sheng did not answer his question immediately. Instead, she asked him another question. “How long will it take to get to town from here?”

The man said, “It’ll take about a day or two by cart.”

Lu Sheng nodded slightly.

She was about to tell them about the situation in Wen Shan Village when she heard footsteps outside.

“Big Brother, come over quickly. There’s meat here!”

The three of them turned their heads at the same time and saw a group of men surrounding them.

The couple retreated a few steps in shock, but Lu Sheng remained standing at her original spot.

A cold glint flashed across her clear eyes.

“Big Brother, there are humans. There’s even a beautiful girl!”

It was already difficult to meet a normal person here. There were actually three normal people now.

The man who was called Big Brother was a man in his forties. He was slender and tanned. There were a few deep wrinkles at the corner of his eyes.

A good-looking and tall woman followed him.

When he saw Lu Sheng, the man sized her up like he was looking at his prey.

Disgust flashed across Lu Sheng’s eyes, but she did not speak.

“Brother Liang, look at this prey. It has tender skin. It’ll definitely be delicious if it’s cooked!”

The woman beside the man leaned against him and looked at Lu Sheng with deep hostility.

All the women who followed them were eaten. She survived purely on her beauty.

For the past few days, she had been following this group of people and eating human meat. From her initial disgust and resistance, she now ate with gusto.

In their eyes, humans were no longer humans. They were food that could sustain their lives.

“Second Brother, tie them up and bring them back.”

Brother Liang waved his hand.

Lu Sheng took a few steps back and said to the couple, “Don’t be afraid. Don’t resist. I’m here. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

She wanted to see if there were other innocent people waiting to be slaughtered.

“Big Brother, that beauty…”

The man called Second Brother stared at Lu Sheng.

“Tie her gently and bring her to my room. That woman is yours.”

“Yes!”

Although Second Brother was very unhappy, it was better to have a woman than not.

It had been a long time since he touched a woman. There were still two or three before this, but they had all been eaten up.

Now, there was only one left, but it was occupied by Brother Liang alone.

Brother Liang knew martial arts so they could not defeat him. They could only watch or secretly touch the woman’s hands to quench their thirst when he was not around.

“What are you doing? Let go of me!”

The woman struggled furiously when she was held hostage.

Lu Sheng obediently let them tie her up. She neither resisted nor shouted.

Her unusual calmness made Brother Liang feel that something was amiss.

However, she was only in her teens, and she looked like a pampered child. She must have accidentally entered this place.

There should be nothing to be afraid of.

Second Brother glanced at the woman’s husband and said to the tied-up man. “There are still eight little lambs in the warehouse. Keep this big one for now. We’ll eat the smaller ones tomorrow.”

The man’s eyes widened when he heard that. He finally understood that these people wanted to eat them.

Lu Sheng said softly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. Everything will be fine.”

Perhaps it was because they had seen Lu Sheng’s capabilities before, but after hearing her words, the couple’s fearful hearts calmed down inexplicably.

“Big Brother, the soldiers… the soldiers are here. There are more soldiers there.”

When the person closest to them heard footsteps approaching, he turned back and saw five guards rapidly approaching.

“What?”

Brother Liang’s expression changed drastically. He said to everyone, “Leave quickly.”

Lu Sheng was pulled forward. Her fingers quickly formed a seal, and the five guards stopped immediately. Then, they turned around and left.

“They’re gone! They’re gone!”

Someone turned back and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the five guards turn around.

Lu Sheng and the couple were led into a courtyard.

“Big Brother is back? Did you find the exit?”

There were a few men in the courtyard. They were all very skinny, but not as skinny as the group following Chu Sihan.

Second Brother smiled and said, “We didn’t, but there’s some food.”

He turned back to look at Lu Sheng. After a while, he instructed reluctantly, “Bring her to Big Brother’s room.”

The two men agreed and escorted Lu Sheng to Brother Liang’s room.

The woman beside Brother Liang was very unhappy. She pursed her lips and a murderous glint flashed across her eyes.

If her position was replaced by that girl, then what awaited her was either starvation or being torn apart.

She did not want to die, much less be eaten by others.

That girl had to die!

She held Brother Liang’s arm and said coquettishly, “Brother Liang, Huaner is feeling a little dizzy. I want to go back and rest!”

Brother Liang pushed her away gently and said in a deep voice, “Go to another room and rest tonight.”

When the woman heard that, she immediately revealed a panicked expression.

“Brother Liang, you didn’t forget about Huaner just because you have a new love, right?”

“How can that be?”

Brother Liang pinched her chin and smiled lecherously. “No one can serve me as comfortably as Huaner.”

This woman had good looks and a good figure. In order to live, she tried her best to please him in bed. Wouldn’t it be a pity if she died?

“Be obedient!”

Brother Liang patted her head and said softly, “Go back and rest well. Don’t think too much.”

“Then Huaner will go and rest first.”

The woman bit her lip and glanced bitterly at Brother Liang before leaving reluctantly.

On the other hand, Lu Sheng broke free from the ropes only after being locked in the room.

She took out the paper human double that she had previously used and let her transform into herself. Then, she picked up the ropes and tied the paper figurine up.

She pasted the Invisibility Talisman on herself and jumped out of the window.

When Lu Sheng came out, she happened to see Second Brother dragging that woman to his room.

The woman was struggling fearfully, but Second Brother had no intention of taking pity on her.

“Although you’re not as pretty as that girl, your skin is quite smooth.”

He touched the back of the woman’s hand and smiled lecherously. “Save your strength. I promise I’ll let you scream enough later.”

Lu Sheng laughed coldly when she heard his unbearable words. She went up and attacked his neck, causing him to fall to the ground.

The woman scanned her surroundings in shock, but there was no one there.

“Don’t worry, it’s me.”

Lu Sheng tore off the Invisibility Talisman and pulled the woman to a corner.

As she untied the woman, she said in a low voice, “Hide here later and don’t make a sound. I’ll go and save the others. I’ll come and find you later.”

“No!”

Seeing that Lu Sheng was about to leave, the woman hurriedly stood up and shook her head. “Can I go with you?”

She was afraid that she would be caught again if she stayed here.

These people were too scary. She still did not understand why such a scary place would appear here.

“Don’t worry. If you hide here, they won’t be able to see you or hurt you.”

“But…”

The woman wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Sheng.

“It’s not convenient for me to find others with you tagging along.”

“Then… alright!”

The woman eventually nodded.

Lu Sheng took out an Invisibility Talisman and pasted it on her. Then, she took out a Boundary Talisman and threw it around the woman.

A golden light flashed and an invisible barrier appeared around the woman.

Lu Sheng said in a low voice, “When I come back later, tear off the yellow talisman on you.”

“Okay!”

Upon hearing the woman’s reply, Lu Sheng strode away.

“Bring this big sheep back to the warehouse first. We’ll eat him tonight.”

“Yes!”

Lu Sheng followed the two men who were holding the man. The two men opened a dark room and pushed the man in before locking the door.

Lu Sheng walked behind the two men and swung her hands at their necks.

Ignoring the duo who were slowly falling to the ground, she picked up the key and opened the door.

Through the light shining in from outside, Lu Sheng saw that there were eight people in the room besides the man.

They were all very young men. The oldest was probably only twelve or thirteen years old.

Their expressions were wooden and their eyes were dull. When they heard the door open, there was no movement, as if they had given up their survival instincts.

Lu Sheng frowned slightly. She tore off the Invisibility Talisman again and walked in slowly.

“Miss, you’re here?!”

Seeing Lu Sheng walk in, only the man stood up agitatedly.

“Yes.”

Lu Sheng answered faintly and untied the ropes on his hands.

The man twisted his wrists and smiled. “I knew you would come.”

He looked out the door and saw that no one was outside. His heart skipped a beat.

“Miss, my wife is in danger. Can you save her first?”

“She’s safe.”

As Lu Sheng spoke, she walked towards the boys.

When the man heard that his wife was safe, he heaved a sigh of relief and hurried forward to help Lu Sheng save the little boys.

“Are you alright?”

Seeing the boys’ dazed expressions, the man hurriedly asked in a low voice.

When the ropes on their hands and feet were released, the boys slowly regained their consciousness.

They stared at their hands in a daze before looking up at Lu Sheng and the man opposite them.

“Can you still walk?”

Lu Sheng asked gently.

“Who… are you?”

The oldest boy stared at them blankly.

“The person who’s going to save you.”

Lu Sheng glanced outside and said softly, “If you can walk, we’ll leave now.”

“Yes!”

The boy nodded and looked at the others. “Second Brother, Third Brother, wake up. Someone’s here to save us!”

Upon hearing the boy’s voice, the other children who were still in a daze regained their senses.

“Let’s go.”

Lu Sheng stood up and looked outside. When she saw that no one was around, she walked out.

The man helped the youngest boy up and followed Lu Sheng out of the house.

Lu Sheng brought them to where the woman was hiding.

Seeing their arrival, the woman hurriedly tore off her Invisibility Talisman and stared at the man with reddened eyes.

Lu Sheng bit her finger and tapped on the barrier. With a faint shattering sound, the boundary disappeared instantly.

The woman pounced over and hugged the man, sobbing softly.

Lu Sheng glanced at them and said lightly, “Follow me.”

The few of them nodded and followed her with light footsteps.

Lu Sheng brought them away using a small path.

Not long after they left, they encountered the five guards.

“Master, are you alright?”

A guard winked at Lu Sheng and spoke with a smile.

Lu Sheng said expressionlessly, “Don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because you’re attached to a body.”

The guard’s body stiffened and he laughed dryly. He hurriedly stood up and asked in all seriousness, “Master, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

“You… You’re with them?”

The boys looked at Lu Sheng in disbelief. Besides fear, there was also a hint of hatred in their eyes.

It was all thanks to them that they had such a day today.

Lu Sheng explained faintly, “They are not real guards.”

The boy was stunned. He did not seem to understand what she meant.

One of the guards grinned and said, “Don’t be afraid, kid. I don’t harm people casually.”

The couple standing at the back had puzzled expressions.

These five guards still had the same five faces, but their personalities seemed to have changed after they woke up.

Moreover, they seemed to listen to Lu Sheng.

The woman suddenly thought of Lu Sheng’s sudden appearance just now. She even pasted those strange yellow talismans on her. She faintly felt that this girl might not be human, but a fairy sent by the heavens to save them.

Another guard explained, “We’re all family.”

The boy frowned. “You mean… you’re not really guards, but pretending to be guards?”

The few of them nodded.

The boys were instantly relieved.

“Bring them to meet the Lord first. I’ll meet those people later.”

Lu Sheng had just finished speaking when footsteps were heard in front.

They thought that the group of human-eating monsters had caught up. However, when they looked up, they saw a handsome man walking over with a group of people.

“What a handsome young master!”

The woman could not help but exclaim.

The man looked over. Although he had to admit that the young master’s looks were indeed extraordinary, he still felt uncomfortable hearing his wife praise another man.

“Greetings, Your… Oh—”

When the five guards saw Chu Sihan, their expressions changed drastically. They were about to kneel down and greet him when they suddenly could not speak the words ‘Your Highness.’

They turned back to look at Lu Sheng and blinked in confusion.

Lu Sheng ignored their doubtful gazes and walked over with a smile. “Brother, you’re here!”

“Yes.”

Chu Sihan pulled her over and sized her up. Seeing that she was safe, he asked in a low voice, “You found them?”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes, they’re in a courtyard not far away.”

“They…”

When the villagers saw the five guards, they retreated in fear.

Lu Sheng hurriedly explained, “Everyone, don’t be afraid. We’re on the same side.”

When the five of them heard that, they nodded and smiled. “Yes, yes, we’re on the same side!”

When they heard that they were one of them, everyone let down their guards slightly.

“Miss, I’m so glad that you’re fine!”

The girl who stopped Lu Sheng previously walked forward, a smile appearing on her thin face.
