Lu Anan was held in someone's arms and rocked gently as if to coax her to sleep.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly and she sighed in her heart.
In the end, the shopkeeper didn't have the heart to kill Aqiu himself.
He left the attic door closed but not locked.
So Aqiu came out and saw the little baby Lu Anan.
She mistook Lu Anan for her own child.
Aqiu looked gentle as he gently stroked the hair of the doll in his arms.
"My mother's child is the best."
She suddenly spoke, and Lu Anan's expression became a little complicated.
According to what Li Si had seen before, she hardly spoke, but just hummed a song from time to time.
Before they could find out what happened to the shopkeeper, they were caught.
Lu Anan watched Aqiu carry her into the room.
The shopkeeper probably cleaned the attic before leaving, so it looks extra clean.
Aqiu put her on the bed and patted her small body.
"Go to sleep."
Her voice was also soft. Lu Anan had no choice but to pretend to be asleep, but in fact she was checking the live broadcast room.
I want to see what Aqiu is trying to do.
She stood up, walked to the gap in the attic, and looked at the people coming and going outside.
Suddenly he chuckled.
The sound was very small, but the attic was too quiet, so Lu Anan heard it clearly.
The Aqiu in front of me is really crazy.
Or perhaps... in other words, half crazy and half sane.
For example, now.
Maybe she thinks in her heart that Lu Anan's substitute doll is her child.
After getting the child, she had a moment of clarity.
She leaned into the gap and suddenly spoke.
"Child, do you hate your mother for not protecting you?"
Lu Anan slowly opened her eyes.
The body couldn't speak, so it obviously couldn't answer her.
Aqiu laughed crazily.
"I threw him in the water."
"In this way, mother will avenge you."
He? In the water?
Lu Anan was shocked. Behind the inn, there was a river that ran through the city.
It doesn’t have a name, it’s just called Honghe.
The people of Hongcheng rely on this river water for washing clothes and cooking.
Lu Anan suddenly remembered.
The shopkeeper died on the third floor last night.
They left immediately, and those bandits were not so kind.
Will help collect the bodies.
Lu Anan couldn't help but be shocked.
Could it be that Ah Qiu...
"They all deserved it."
Aqiu murmured this and suddenly looked at Lu Anan on the bed.
"Hongcheng worships bandits."
She suddenly said this.
Then he left the attic.
Lu Anan sat up with a complicated expression.
She probably understood something.
No wonder the bandits are so rampant here.
This Hongcheng faces three big mountains.
There are no telling how many bandits are hiding in the mountains.
This is also why, so far, no one has come to suppress the bandits.
It’s not that I won’t come, but… I can’t do it.
The situation on this mountain is complicated. If you go up the mountain rashly, you will probably be killed by these bandits.
But how can Hongcheng survive?
So someone came up with a solution.
Otherwise... just give some offerings to the bandits.
Keep Hongcheng safe while the bandits attack the traveling merchants.
But the bandits also have brains.
Since they can survive like this, they must have their own abilities.
For example...
Due to Hongcheng's special location, this is the only road here and only Hongcheng can be used for resting.
Otherwise, you will have to spend the night in the mountains.
Therefore, even though the merchants knew that there were many bandits here.
However, the bandits did not rob much, so they could only swallow the loss and use it as a bribe.
The bandits gathered together in large numbers, after all, most of them were merchants.
He robbed some of this one, and robbed some of that one.
There is always enough to eat and drink.
The rest, of course, is fun.
Therefore, every year when the bandits of Hongcheng offer tributes, they will choose the "tribute" they like.
When the time comes, someone will bring it to the mountain.
Lu Anan lowered her eyes.
Aqiu was the only one among these offerings who was favored.
She is famous in this city for her good looks.
Plus, she has a cute and innocent personality and a lively and cheerful appearance.
It really makes people like it from the heart.
The shopkeeper is quite capable and was arranged here by the Xu family.
I just brought my only daughter along as well.
At first they didn't know what bandit offerings were.
The shopkeeper took a liking to a young scholar, and the two families hit it off.
The engagement was made and the wedding was arranged.
The shopkeeper was naturally very happy to see his daughter marrying her lover.
But what he didn't know was that all the people sitting there were people he thought he had some friendship with.
What kind of thoughts are hidden inside.
One wedding banquet brings joy to two families.
The scholar that Aqiu married was a harmonious couple.
This scholar is also ambitious, and the two of them are a good story.
The shopkeeper even planned that if the scholar could no longer study, he would simply take over his position.
But, such days didn't last too long.
Lu Anan closed her eyes and sighed softly.
She suddenly heard a sound of someone falling into the water outside.
His expression was somewhat complicated.
What is Ah Qiu's fault?
She slowly got out of bed.
I looked at the swaying plants in the corner and walked over.
This should be Lihuacao.
She didn't take it away, but let Xiwen take a look first.
[Magician Xiwen: Deer, this plant looks like food for small insects.]
Lu Anan tried her best to show these flowers and plants in the live broadcast room.
Xiwen quickly took out his book and after flipping through it for a long time, his eyes lit up.
He compared the pictures in the book with the flowers and plants in front of him.
[Magician Xiwen: That's right, it's used to feed these insects.]
Lu Anan's eyes lit up: "Xiwen, is there an antidote?!"
Now that the cause has been found, it should be easy to prescribe the right remedy.
Xiwen didn't answer for a long time, and Lu Anan couldn't help but have some different guesses.
"Xiwen...is there no other solution?"
[Magician Xiwen: I'm sorry, Deer, the damage caused by these little bugs isn't serious for us.]
[Mage Xiwen: To some extent, all that's needed is a small blessing spell from the priest.]
[Magician Xiwen: It's not worth using potions to heal it.]
[Mage Xiwen: Exactly, what I mean is... expensive potions wouldn't be used on little bugs like these.]
Lu Anan realized belatedly that the potion was a very valuable thing in Xiwen's possession.
The status of a potion master is much higher than that of an ordinary magician.
Although Xiwen is very approachable, his status is not low based on his abilities.
【Magician Xiwen: Perhaps I can ask my best friend, I'm sorry, Deer.】
Lu Anan shook her head: "It's okay, thank you, Xiwen."
"Maybe there will be a solution in the live broadcast system's mall."
Lu Anan had thought of this method before, but the mall required too many points.
She may not be able to afford it.
She pursed her lips and opened the mall.
Sure enough, there are medicines inside that can cure all kinds of diseases.
But the price... is really unaffordable.
Lu Anan sighed.
What should I do?
