Chapter 1354 - Chapter 1354 Chapter 1153 Where is the Treasure_1
Chapter 1354: Chapter 1153: Where is the Treasure_1 Chapter 1354: Chapter 1153: Where is the Treasure_1 Zhang Family had never experienced such hardship or suffered such humiliation from childhood.
Throughout the journey, she was stuffed into a carriage like a piece of cargo, where all her eating, drinking, and excretion took place in a single carriage compartment. No one tended to her there, and pitifully as a blind woman, whether it was eating or relieving herself, she had to rely on herself. The road was bumpy, and she knocked over the chamber pot several times, soiling herself with filth.
Eventually, those people could no longer bear to watch, and they carelessly grabbed a young girl to serve her.
In this way, they bounced along to an obscure small town. Every day, she lived in fear, constantly anxious.
Blind people inherently lack a sense of security, let alone someone who had been kidnapped. At this moment, seeing Tong Sanlang, the fear that had been suppressed for over a month burst forth like a breached dyke, exploding in an instant.
“Sanlang, Sanlang save me, save me!”
Her tears flowed like rain, and her voice grew more and more wretched with each cry, causing Tong Sanlang’s heart to clench.
Seeing Zhang Family’s current state, he no longer wished to dwell on her past mistakes. The maternal affection of the past seventeen years seemed to him like being placed on a pyre. Zhang Family’s heart-wrenching calls were like a fierce flame, burning him with the desire to rush over and save her immediately.
However, he assessed the distance between them and forced himself to calm down.
His lightfoot skills were very good, but he was a mile away from Zhang Family, and even if he increased his speed to the maximum, he couldn’t guarantee that he could save her instantly.
He ignored Zhang Family’s cries and turned his attention back to the man in black, asking, “What is your objective?”
“I won’t hide it from you; I have two goals,” the man in black didn’t beat around the bush. He shook his forefinger, “First, it’s about the treasure.”
“Recently, rumors about the treasure have spread around the East Sea area. Some say the treasure that quietly disappeared from Anping Village has surfaced in the East Sea. You are a descendant of Prince Pingnan, Gu Yu. Tell me, where exactly is the treasure?”
Tong Sanlang “…”
He had never imagined that these people’s objective was the treasure.
He took a deep breath and shook his head, “If I knew where the treasure was, do you think the Retired Emperor would still allow me to stay by his side? He wants to find that treasure even more than you do.”
“That treasure was indeed under my family’s guard originally, but that day Cen Hong and Prince Yang Wang insisted on digging up the village to find the treasure, and then it disappeared without a trace, to this day not seen again.”
“The Retired Emperor has also been sending people to look for it in secret all this time, and my family too has been searching, but all to no avail. Now you’re asking me, and I have only three words for you: I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” The man in black sneered upon hearing this, reached into his waist, and drew out a one-foot-long knife. The blade glinted blindingly in the sunlight. He twirled the knife skillfully, then grabbed Zhang Family’s left hand.
“I’ll ask you one more time, where is the treasure? If you say you don’t know again, I’ll cut off one of Zhang Family’s fingers. After the fingers, it’ll be the toes, and once the toes are done, I’ll start cutting her flesh, until you tell me!”
As soon as the words of the man in black fell, before Tong Sanlang could speak, Zhang Family screamed in terror.
The shrill scream caused the man in black to frown, and he tapped Zhang Family’s neck, causing her to faint immediately.
The world instantly quieted down.
Tong Sanlang’s heart lurched.
