In one of the larger caves, Chen Jun and his brother Chen Cai were strung up separately.
A tall, burly man held a vine stick in his hand.
He sneered at Chen Jun and said, "So, you two came up the mountain from the north?"
"Yes, boss, please spare us. We just wanted to climb the mountain to escape the flood." Chen Jun pleaded, his face bruised and battered, with whip marks all over his body.
The burly man turned to look at a group of people behind him.
Among the group, there was a short, balding, and lean middle-aged man with a somewhat brutal look, eating unknown animal meat while squeezing the buttocks of a fair-skinned beautiful woman beside him.
The burly man respectfully said, "Brother Tian, this person doesn't seem to be lying. We've interrogated his companion separately before, and their stories were similar."
Tian Wei said nothing; his hand was deep under the woman's skirt. Her face turned red, and her breathing became heavy.
