Chapter 308
Bai Shan still hasn't forgotten what she wanted to do and is determined to cause trouble for Xue A Niang.
But she didn't think about what it meant that Xue A'niang was still alive and well in the city and went in and out of the City Lord's Mansion every day.
This means that these people were originally in the same group. Xue A Niang must have known about her affairs for a long time, but she never took any action. Could it be that she was lying in wait to avenge her?
Don't be silly. The fact that Xue A'niang allowed her to kill her brothers and sisters shows that she doesn't care about these children.
It doesn't matter to her whether Bai Shan is an object or a lively person. It would be more useful if she were the former.
At most, Xue A'niang would feel sorry for her, regretting that she had lost such a useful thug, but in exchange she had gained a bright future.
I heard that Shen Gu and his men had already sent letters to those prestigious and upright sects, stating that they yearn for light, their passion for justice, and their chivalrous stance. They repeatedly stated that they would never send troops to seize other people's territory without reason...
These are not important. In short, if Bai Shan makes trouble again, it may become an artifact to be destroyed. Just for show, they will hand over some artifacts to be destroyed for outsiders to see, so that people will believe that they do not have such things hidden.
But if I give away the good ones, I will feel bad, so I can only deal with those that are disobedient, difficult to use, and defective products.
Bai Shan, who was determined to run away, might be in some danger.
Qian Huaer's money and money that are involved with her are also in danger.
But the prerequisite is that they have to live until then.
"Sister Bai Shan went after Mother Xue and followed the adult insect."
Qian Huaer released an adult King Gu insect to lead the way for her and said,
"You have to be quick, that Xue A Niang... is very powerful..."
She didn't expect that Sister Bai Shan didn't seem to know either, and both of them were caught off guard.
If she had known this would happen, she should have gone to find her father first.
Qian Huaer thought a little sadly: Even if I can't run away, at least I can see him.
She fainted.
Just faint, it's a good thing he didn't die with such a serious injury. Shen Jiao followed the adult insect all the way to a residential area.
A war had just taken place not long ago, so there weren't many people on the streets at the moment. Seeing her unfamiliar face, many people were a little nervous.
Shen Jiao ignored it and watched the adult insect turn down an alley and was about to follow it, but was stopped by an old woman selling vegetables: "Ya Ya, it's not fun to go over there, go home quickly."
Yaya?
Shen Jiao didn't even know she had such a name. I guess it's the way people in Yongcheng call little girls?
"I'll go find someone." Shen Jiao didn't want to get entangled with her and was about to leave, but the old woman still held him tightly.
"Who are you looking for here? Did you get scammed? Yaya, let me tell you, the people living over there are not good people."
She spoke in a low and mysterious voice, probably knowing something about the inside story.
Shen Jiao is not very interested:
"I'm looking for a sister. She told me she lives here. Is there someone named Xue A Niang here?"
"You recognize them?" the old woman asked in surprise. "Then you absolutely can't go. Grandma, let me tell you, there are many boys your age who, claiming to be looking for someone, have never come out since entering the house. Not to mention young people like you, even those who are over forty years old would never come out. That Xue mother's business is not a good one. I don't know how many children she has brought home."
"So, she's a kidnapper?"
"Shh, I didn't say that."
"So she's a good person? She adopted a bunch of kids?"
"Yaya, you can't even understand what I'm saying with your brain, so just go home."
Shen Jiao: ...
"I understand, Grandma. Do many people know about this?"
"Of course the neighbors know about it, but he has someone to protect him, so he can't say anything or ask anything. Fortunately, he doesn't eat the grass in his own yard."
"Do the children she raised know about this?"
"Maybe."
The old woman selling vegetables couldn't say for sure. Logically speaking, they were children, not fools, so they should be able to remember and see something.
But...
"The girls and boys raised here were all brought here when they were very young, and many of them consider her their real mother. Sometimes when I pass by, I hear the adults inside telling those girls and boys: Your parents don't want you anymore, so Mother Xue kindly took you in... Do you think this is human language?"
The old woman clapped her hands and said indignantly.
Shen Jiao said, "Maybe what they say is true?"
"One or two maybe, but how could there be dozens? And I've seen some children being well dressed when they were brought back..."
The old woman selling vegetables seemed to be afraid that she would not believe it. She guessed that no one usually talked about these things, so she took Shen Jiao home and showed her a bag of clothes:
"Look, these are all picked up by me. They don't keep these things. One day I saw them burning something, so I secretly followed them and dug these out of the fire. They left me with two burns. I thought it would be evidence if someone came looking for it, but who would have thought that those who came looking for it would be thrown away along with it. The City Lord's Mansion doesn't care about these things."
The old woman had large scars on her hands and arms.
The sleeves of the clothes hanging in the yard and the clothes she was wearing were very long, just enough to cover her.
After giving Shen Jiao a look, she lowered her sleeves.
Shen Jiao thought for a moment and asked, "Can you give me these things?"
"This... well, take it if you want. I have no use for it anyway. Oh, and this, I also picked it up over the years."
Inside are some amulets, longevity locks and other things.
There is also a glass butterfly with a few smooth and round pearls hanging on it.
"This is a good thing. If you sell it, you will have no worries about food and drink. Can you give it to me too?"
"Take it, and do with it what you will," said the old woman. "I would not dare to spend such a thing."
She has a statue of a child god in her room.
That is for the safety of children.
"Grandma, you have kids at home, right?"
"Yes, they died. My daughter, son-in-law, and little granddaughter went out of town to play. I don't know how they ended up in the wild woods and got bitten by poisonous insects. When they were brought back, they looked like corpses. We were afraid they were sick, so we didn't even let them keep their bodies intact."
"So what are you offering?"
"I pray for the next life, hoping that God will have mercy on them and let them be reborn into a good family, where they can live a peaceful and happy life," she said with an embarrassed smile. "Sometimes I also pray for those children, hoping that they can go home one day. You see, they have grown up so big in the blink of an eye, and can run and jump. Maybe one day they can escape back home."
Shen Jiao: ...
"Maybe."
It's always good to have some good wishes.
But... Shen Jiao looked at the child god...
But the poisonous insects that killed her family members...and those children she mentioned, might also be responsible...
What kind of world is this?
