EBE Chapter 106 Rescue the Child
Chapter 106 Rescue the Child
Si Yunzhou was a little excited in his heart. Cangli actually drank from the teacup that he had drunk from. Did it mean that she was not as she said in the last letter?
If Pei Cangli knew what he was imagining, she would just want to pull his ear and say, I just want to see if your tea is poisoned.
Soon it got dark. Pei Cangli and Si Yunzhou looked at each other, then stood up and left.
After a while, the two met at the back door of the yard. Sensing that there should be no one in the yard at the moment, the two sneaked in directly.
Pei Cangli used a puppet to investigate in front, while Si Yunzhou was carefully on guard behind.
The two of them came to the kitchen and heard someone complaining, "They are just a few kids, and I have to buy groceries and cook for them all day, and I only get this little pay?"
Hearing that there were indeed a few children here, but he didn't know where they were being held, and thinking that there was a high possibility that they would confront each other next, Pei Cangli took out two masks from his storage bag.
She wore a fox-shaped one and asked Si Yunzhou to wear another rabbit-shaped one. After they put them on, they looked at each other and almost laughed.
At this time, one of the puppets discovered some unusual movements. Pei Cangli took Si Yunzhou to check it out. It turned out that there seemed to be several auras under a storage room.
According to the information sent back by the puppet, there are a total of five people in this yard. Except for one cook who is a mortal and should have been hired locally, the other four are monks.
Pei Cangli and the other person began to look carefully for the secret compartment in the utility room. They didn't know if there were any other monks down there. Soon Si Yunzhou found the switch.
He signaled Pei Cangli to stand aside and be on guard. He was about to open the mechanism. With a click, a secret door slowly opened.
After Si Yunzhou went in first and found that there was no danger, he signaled Pei Cangli to come down.
There are two rooms below, one is the bedroom and the other is the study. At this moment, there are four children lying in the bedroom, and they seem to be drugged.
The two of them, each with two children, prepared to go out along the same path they came. Unfortunately, just as they reached the secret door of the utility room, they heard a noise coming from outside.
The two men had no choice but to retreat, put the children back on the bed, and hid in the dark. After a while, a monk came down, walked to the bed in a swagger, took out something, and sniffed it under the nose of each child.
After a while, the four children slowly woke up. They were still a little confused when they first woke up. One of the older children asked, "When can we go to the five major sects?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? The five major sects are currently holding a ten-year competition, so you need to wait a little longer."
"Then why don't you let us out? Why do you let us stay here?"
"I am worried about you. In the past ten years, there have been great competitions, and the cultivators from the four clans are everywhere. If you go out and get captured by the ghost cultivators, you will be dead."
When the other children heard this, they all thought it made sense. After all, when they came here, they would feel sleepy after dinner every day, and would have to eat again when they woke up.
Before leaving, my parents told me to listen to them. Only if I was obedient could I be selected by the five major sects and have white rice to eat every day.
Besides, apart from not allowing them to go out, the meals they are given every day are quite good, and there is meat for every meal.
Soon after the four children finished their meal and fell asleep again, the monk put them back on bed and turned away.
At this time, Pei Cangli and the other person came out from the darkness. They sensed with their spiritual sense that the man had left, so they and Si Yunzhou took the child and left.
Before leaving, Pei Cangli specially left a gift for these people, and he believed that they would like it.
Soon the courtyard was completely covered by willow branches, especially the four monks, who were tied up by the willow branches and slowly lost their vitality.
After leaving the courtyard, Pei Cangli and Si Yunzhou woke up the four children and told them that those people were bad guys. Si Yunzhou was a disciple of the five major sects and showed them the disciple tokens.
Some children who could already read recognized the three words "Qingyingmen" on the wall and asked them if they were going to be sent home.
Pei Cangli shook his head and said, "If you go home now, you will alert the enemy and you may be arrested again."
Then Si Yunzhou assured them that he would find a place for them to stay temporarily, and then take them back to Qingyingmen after the matter was investigated.
When the four children heard that they would have the opportunity to go to Qingyingmen later, they all agreed to Si Yunzhou and others' arrangement.
Pei Cangli came to the Liuli Pavilion in Fengtian City alone, found the manager, explained the situation, and hoped that they would take in these children temporarily.
She will take the children away after she has found out the situation. In the meantime, please take good care of these children.
After saying that, Pei Cangli took out some spirit stones and handed them to the steward, saying that these were for the daily expenses of the children.
How could the manager dare to accept the spirit stones? Even though the young master had clarified this before, everyone under him knew that even if she was not the young master's wife, Pei Cangli could not be offended.
The steward waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Pei, don't worry, I will take good care of these children. There is no need to use spirit stones. Liuli Pavilion can still afford to support them."
"Then it's up to you."
After a while, Si Yunzhou came with four children and handed them over to the manager of Liuli Pavilion. Before leaving, he reminded them to listen to the manager.
After solving the problems of these children, Pei Cangli and Si Yunzhou found a place to eat and planned to discuss what to do next.
"Friend Si Dao, what are your plans next?"
Thinking of what Cangli said in the letter before, Si Yunzhou thought for a while and said, "I plan to investigate this matter and give these children justice."
Pei Cangli asked, "Then how do you plan to investigate? Don't forget Venerable Tianhua, but your master told you to avoid him. It's okay for me as a casual cultivator, but it's different if you have a sect."
"Let's start with the porridge distribution, at least to expose Qian Sanwan's conspiracy first. As for Venerable Tianhua, we'll talk about it when we meet him."
Pei Cangli took a sip of tea and was thinking about how to investigate. When he heard Si Yunzhou's words, he felt that it made sense.
He agreed and said, "Then let's go to the Qian family first and take the opportunity to get information and see what the conspiracy is."
"Cang Li, Qian Sanwan is your enemy, and he is looking for you everywhere. How about I go and investigate this time, and you stay behind the scenes?"
"You're not safe alone. Don't you have the mask? From now on, let's wear the mask, Mr. Rabbit."
"Everything is up to Miss Fox."
After they finished speaking, they both laughed, then raised their teacups and clinked them together, hoping that everything would go well.
After dinner, the two found an inn to rest. Early the next morning, they planned to set off for Qian's house.
When I was walking out of the lobby on the first floor, I happened to meet someone who was asking if anyone had seen monks traveling in groups of three recently.
Pei Cangli and the other man looked at each other and quickly left the inn. It seemed that Venerable Tianhua was indeed looking for them, but fortunately he did not bring Ji Feng with him.
