Chapter 2016 The Trapped
Su Shengsheng nodded and asked in a low voice, "What should we do then? Should we go around to the back and take a look?"
Yan Ruyu thought about it and nodded: "Okay, let's go around to the back. Be careful and don't make any noise. Mu Xiao, stay with me and don't go too far."
Mu Xiao quickly responded: "I know, I will follow you closely."
The three of them walked lightly along the wall toward the back of the yard.
The wall was not high, and I could see what was happening in the yard - there were several rooms inside, with their doors and windows closed. Two men were standing at the door, holding sticks in their hands, looking around, and they seemed to be on guard.
Su Shengsheng saw the two men and gritted his teeth in anger: "Sure enough, there are people guarding here! These people are really haunting and have even arranged people here!"
Yan Ruyu didn't say anything, just stared at the two men, observing their positions and movements, thinking in her mind how to go in and check the situation without alerting them.
She knew that there might be other abducted women imprisoned here. If she missed them, she didn't know how much suffering these women would have to endure.
Mu Xiao looked at the scene in the yard, his face paler. He tugged at the corner of Su Shengsheng's clothes and lowered his voice: "In there...are there other people like me? Will they treat them the same way they treated me?"
Su Shengsheng patted her hands and said firmly, "Don't worry, we will definitely go in and take a look. No matter if there is anyone inside, we will find out and will not let them continue to suffer."
"Those two guys don't look very capable. As long as we find a way to distract them, we can go in and check."
Yan Ruyu shook her head, signaling Su Shengsheng not to rush. "Wait a minute, let's see. Once we understand their patterns, it won't be too late to take action. If we rashly lead them away, what if there are other people inside? That could end up being bad."
Su Shengsheng nodded and stopped talking. He just followed Yan Ruyu to observe the movements in the yard.
The two men stood there for a while. One of them took out a pipe from his arms, lit it and started smoking. The other leaned against the door frame, glancing out the wall from time to time, looking a little impatient.
Yan Ruyu looked at it for a while, then came up with an idea. She turned to Su Shengsheng and Mu Xiao and said, "I'll go make some noise in the bushes over there to distract the man leaning against the door frame. Shengsheng, you take this opportunity to go around to the door and see if you can open it.
Mu Xiao, just wait here and don't come out. If anything happens, hide quickly."
Su Shengsheng nodded immediately: "Okay, little doctor, don't worry, I will definitely be able to open the door!"
Although Mu Xiao was a little worried, he nodded obediently: "I understand. I will wait here and not go out."
Yan Ruyu warned again: "Be careful. If there is anything wrong, don't force it, retreat immediately."
After saying that, she bent down and walked towards the bushes not far away.
Walking to the edge of the bushes, Yan Ruyu picked up a small stone and threw it to the other side of the bushes.
The stone fell to the ground, making a "clatter" sound. Although it was not loud, it was particularly obvious in this quiet environment.
The man leaning against the door frame heard the sound and immediately straightened up, frowning and looking towards the bushes. "What's that sound?"
He turned to the man smoking his pipe and said, "You watch here, I'll go take a look."
The man smoking the pipe nodded: "Okay, go ahead, but be careful."
The man walked towards the bushes with a stick.
Yan Ruyu took the opportunity to hide to the side to make sure she would not be discovered, while keeping an eye on the movement at the door.
Seeing the opportunity, Su Shengsheng immediately crouched down and quickly walked around to the gate of the yard.
She reached out and pushed the door, only to find it was ajar, not locked. Delighted, she turned her head to look in Yan Ruyu's direction, and when she saw Yan Ruyu nod, she gently pushed the door open and poked her head inside.
The yard was quiet, and no one was seen except the man smoking his pipe.
Su Shengsheng took a deep breath, tiptoed in, and walked towards the room with closed doors and windows.
She walked to the door, pushed it gently, and found that it was locked.
It was also at this time that I discovered that the window was not closed, but sealed.
At this moment, the man smoking the pipe suddenly turned his head and saw Su Shengsheng. He was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Who are you? How did you get in?" He threw away the pipe, picked up the stick and rushed towards Su Shengsheng.
Su Shengsheng panicked, but she remained calm. She dodged to the side, avoiding the man's stick, and shouted in the direction of Yan Ruyu: "Something's going on here!"
When Yan Ruyu heard the sound, she knew that Su Shengsheng had been discovered, so she immediately walked out of the bushes and flew towards the gate of the yard.
She ran very fast and soon reached the door, just in time to see the man holding a stick and about to hit Su Shengsheng again.
Yan Ruyu rushed over without hesitation, grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it gently.
The man felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and the stick in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
He wanted to struggle, but found that Yan Ruyu was much stronger than she looked. His wrist was held tightly and he couldn't move at all.
"You... who are you?" The man looked at Yan Ruyu with an angry face, his eyes full of fire.
Yan Ruyu ignored him and turned to Su Shengsheng and said, "Go and see if there is anyone in that room."
Su Shengsheng nodded, immediately ran to the door, and took out a small knife from her arms - this was the one Su Jingzhuo had given her for self-defense.
She pried the door lock with a knife and soon got it open.
She pushed the door open and shouted inside: "Is there anyone inside? We are here to save you!"
The room was pitch black. I pushed open the door and light streamed in. After a long moment, a faint voice rang out: "Who... who is it?"
Su Shengsheng was delighted and quickly said, "We are here to rescue you. Don't be afraid, come out quickly!"
As she spoke, she walked into the house.
The light slowly illuminated the room, and several women were seen huddled inside. They were all wearing tattered clothes, their faces were pale, and their eyes were full of fear and vigilance.
"Are you...are you really here to save us?" one of the women asked in a low voice, with uncertainty in her voice.
Su Shengsheng nodded, his tone sincere: "Really, we have already subdued the guards, you guys come with us!"
The women looked at each other, then looked at Yan Ruyu at the door and the restrained man, and finally believed what Su Shengsheng said.
They slowly stood up from the ground and walked towards the door, their steps still a little unsteady. It was obvious that they had been locked up for a long time and their bodies had not recovered yet.
