Chapter 279 - The Wise Fighting EvilShe crossed her legs and sat inside the iron cage, a look of sorrow suddenly appearing on her face. She had already been here for a few days, but she had yet to see the evil people her sisters spoke of.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent is extremely victorious, she had to think of a way to inquire about some information.
"Boss, why do you look so sad?" Liu Qian, who was beating her legs, asked.
A thought flashed through Wei Yuanwei"s mind, and she suddenly smiled: "Every day, I eat until I"m full, I sleep until I"m full. There"s really no meaning in it, why don"t we make some games?"
Not long later, sounds of laughter could be heard from the iron cage. The women all had their hands on their heads as they squatted down, murmuring something.
"Little white rabbit squats, Little white rabbit squats, Little white rabbit squats, Big gray wolf squats."
"The big bad wolf squats, the big bad wolf squats, the big bad bear squats."
"The big bear squats, the big bear squats, the big bear squats, and the little fox squats."
The black-clothed guards couldn"t help but look over as well.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Wei Yuanwei took the opportunity to say: "My sisters, are you all tired?
"Sure, sure." The women"s eyes shone with excitement, as if they had already forgotten that they were lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Wei Yuanwei laughed and said: "If there are five apples to split among the seven of us, how should we split it?"
"Of course it"s for boss to eat first, and then we"ll split the leftovers." Liu Qian smiled.
Wei Yuanwei laughed and shook her head: "Since we are all sisters, we naturally have to share the hardships of life with each other. With an apple in our hands, we can share the rest."
"Give me a knife, and I will naturally split the apples into seven portions." In the past, she was the wife of a butcher, but later on when the butcher became rich and wanted to marry a concubine, she didn"t allow it. That was why the butcher gave her a bowl of bewitching soup and sold it here, she swore that if she made it out of the Scoundrel Valley alive, she would chop the butcher"s husband and his concubine into soup.
"But those apples are different in size, the knives in Sister Wu"s hands may not be numerous either." Wei Yuanwei said with a smile.
"Then how should we divide it?" The sisters asked in unison.
Wei Yuanwei said smilingly, "Naturally, it was squeezed into apple juice."
Looking at the shocked expressions of the sisters, Wei Yuanwei realized that there was no juicer here.
"Alright, alright. Change to another one, winter melon, cuc.u.mber, watermelon, and pumpkin can all be eaten. What kind of melon can"t be eaten?" Wei Yuanwei asked with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other. There seemed to be no melon that couldn"t be eaten.
"Aiya, Sister Wei, hurry up and say it. We"re all worried to death." If he did not know the answer, he would have felt as if his heart was being scratched by a small hand.
Wei Yuanwei laughed and poked her head: "Of course I"m an idiot."
At this moment, they did not realize that they were actually standing so close to the iron cage. Their goal was to hear about these brainstorming twists and turns, so these things were simply unheard-of to them.
Wei Yuanwei glanced at the guard, and the corner of his mouth revealed a a.s.sured smile. She had enough of thinking of turning things around, and it seemed like it was time to set the suspense.
"Why would a caterpillar walk on a pile of cow dung and only find six footprints on the ground?"
Blackbird asked confused, "Aren"t the caterpillars supposed to have eight legs?"
"That"s right, Sister Wei. Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly." Liu Qingshang"s face was filled with anxiety as he spoke.
Wei Yuanwei revealed a sly smile in her eyes: "About this, we"ll talk about it tomorrow."
Her eyes quickly scanned the faces of the imperial guards, revealing a look of disappointment on their faces.
Hearing the guard"s report, the Chinese medicine saint and chess addict both revealed a serious expression. They all thought that they were smart people, so they naturally thought of all sorts of ways to get the answer out of their minds.
However, after pondering for a long time, both of them sighed.
"It seems that this girl is quite interesting. But, why are there only six footprints?" The chess player laughed.
Pill Saint stroked his beard and pointed at the man in black. "Go ask."
Chess Chi smiled sinisterly, "Why do you need to send people to ask? Just give her a Heart Eroding Bone Rotting Pill. If you want her to live a life worse than death, she will say it."
"Wouldn"t it be a pity if such an interesting person died?" A meaningful smile appeared on Yao Sheng"s face.
Wei Yuanwei looked at the serious face of the bodyguard in front of him and could not help but laugh out loud. It was just a quick turn of her brain, why was she so nervous, it was truly interesting.
She was sure that it would be boring in the Valley of Evil People, or else the evil people would not think of a game where living people could conduct experiments. The evil people would definitely be interested when they heard her quick thinking.
Wei Yuanwei laughed and said: "I can give you the answer, but you have to answer three of my questions."
The guard in black beside him whispered something to him, and the man left in a hurry. He must have gone to ask his master for permission.
"After all, she"s someone on the verge of death. Why wouldn"t the Medicine Saint agree to her request?" A fool had fallen for one of his cards.
Pill Saint waved his hand. "Alright, if she asks anything, just answer truthfully."
The black-robed guard nodded: "Alright, go ahead and ask."
Wei Yuanwei thought for a while, then asked: "Who is the owner of the Evil Realm Valley?"
"Naturally, it"s the City Lord." When the black-robed guard mentioned the city lord, his face revealed a respectful expression.
Wei Yuanwei was upset, the black-robed guard looked somewhat wooden, but he was actually very cunning, and that"s right, how many people who had lived in the Evil Realm for a long time were stingy? She had to be careful when she asked questions.
"Then what does your master plan to do with us next?"
"Naturally, it has to go through layers of screening." The guard snorted.
Her guess was indeed correct. These evil people would definitely use them to do some things that could not be seen by others, but before that, they would choose the strongest.
Wei Yuanwei said with some unease in her heart, "Amongst us. How many people will pa.s.s the screening test? "
More accurately, how many people would survive?
A meaningful smile appeared on the guard"s face as he ambiguously replied, "Maybe it"s all of them, maybe none at all."
It also meant that as long as they didn"t break through the layers of the exam, they could die here. The reason why they kept on buying people was because they wanted to find people that were of value to them.
Wei Yuanwei"s face revealed a dejected look, and she lightly said: "I understand."
