Chapter 48: Dragon's Lair and Tiger's Den
"I've said so much just to dissuade you from this idea." Erdong changed the subject, "Go back and tell Gou Wa's mother that the child is missing."
Hu Xiner was stunned, unable to believe that such a hot-blooded man would actually say such a thing.
"That's a human life..." She looked at Erdong in confusion, "He just spent time with us yesterday."
Apart from his dazzling muscles, Erdong has a very decent appearance and is a very convincing type of strong and handsome man.
But at this moment, his eyes flickered: "With our strength alone, not only will we fail to save the child, but we will also fall into trouble."
Hu Xin'er was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Okay, I understand what you mean."
She turned and walked out, and Erdong stood there in a daze for a long time.
The sunlight outside was very dazzling. Hu Xiner shielded her eyes from the sunlight with her hands, shed a cowardly tear, and then wiped it away.
She first bought some things she needed at the Rouge Shop, then returned to the small courtyard in Erdong and said, "I'll borrow your space for a bit."
Erdong thought she was trying to hide her unwell complexion and agreed.
Hu Xiner has learned basic makeup techniques and knows how to use parts of the human body and changes in light and shadow to shape a person.
This means that her makeup skills can be considered as disguise in this era.
That’s right, she didn’t intend to give up, but instead planned to disguise herself and sneak into the Luo family.
Erdong saw an unfamiliar person walk out of the room and asked cautiously, "Who are you? Where is Hu Xin'er?"
"What's it to you?" the man said in a rough voice.
Erdong was about to make a move when Hu Xiner said with a smile, "You didn't recognize me, did you?"
"Are you Hu Xin'er?" Erdong looked around. "How did you develop such a superb disguise?"
"Don't worry about it. After I sneak into the Luo Mansion, you can just meet me outside." Hu Xin'er clasped her fists, "I'm counting on you, Erdong!"
"What?" Erdong couldn't believe his ears. A weak woman like Hu Xin'er actually wanted to sneak into Luo Mansion alone.
"I'm the only person who has entered the Luo Mansion and successfully escaped." Hu Xin'er explained, "If even you can't recognize me, then with my disguise skills, no one will know that I am Hu Xin'er."
This makes sense, but Erdong can't let her go alone.
"How are you going to get in? Do you know how to deal with those people's questions?" Erdong thought Hu Xiner was crazy.
But when Hu Xiner answered his questions one by one and walked out, he was speechless because Hu Xiner's thinking was far more meticulous than he thought.
After all, she is someone who has read countless novels and comics and can write her own plots.
"If I haven't come out by night, I'll call the police." Hu Xiner said, turning around.
"Why do you have to save Gou Wa?" Erdong tried to dissuade him but failed, his voice dry.
Hu Xiner laughed at herself, "Because I promised that I would bring him back."
Erdong lurked behind Hu Xiner and watched her really enter the Luo family. Out of concern, he went to find Mu Qing.
Hu Xin'er followed the person delivering the food inside and was immediately questioned: "Who are you?"
"Uncle Li, I'm Liu'er, the new arrival in Miss Luo's room." Hu Xin'er pointed to Miss Luo's room and asked in surprise, "You haven't remembered me yet, have you?"
"So it's you." Uncle Li's face was full of smiles. "Come in, come in."
Ordinary farmers don’t know the young lady’s boudoir, even Uncle Li has never been in it.
The people at the small gate checked the dishes that were delivered. Hu Xiner walked in calmly, combining the memories in her mind with reality and observing the reactions of the people around her.
The Luo family is heavily guarded, but this only applies to outsiders.
Erdong looks conspicuous, so if he reveals even the slightest clue, he will be targeted, so he doesn't dare to come in.
But in fact, as long as you pass the door, no one will doubt your identity anymore, just like the last time Hu Xiner was wandering around inside.
They have been the local leaders for so long that they don't worry at all about being found. Even if they are found, they will just report it to the authorities. Aren't there many people who have died in this matter?
Relying on clues, she successfully found the location of the basement. During the search, someone invited her to dinner.
It was a good opportunity. The basement was unattended at this moment. There was a noise in the hidden basement. It might be Gou Wa!
After going around layers of rockery and moving bricks, she carefully sneaked underneath and found the lost puppy.
At this time, his hands and feet were tied and his mouth was stuffed with cloth.
Hu Xin'er hurriedly took the cloth out of his mouth and untied it: "Dougawa, don't make a sound. I'm Sister Fairy."
"Fairy..." Gou Wa suppressed his excitement and pointed to the side.
Only then did Hu Xiner discover that there were several other little boys lying in the dim basement.
During the time they were here, the Luo family only gave them very little food and water to prevent them from having the strength to escape.
Gou Wa came last night, so he made the noise. Fortunately, Hu Xiner came over.
The children were very excited to see someone coming to rescue them, and Hu Xiner untied them.
Gou Wa asked in a low voice: "Sister Fairy, how should we get out?"
With so many people, they would be too big a target. Fortunately, Hu Xin'er had prepared: "You guys should hide in the rockery first. Then I'll find a chance to set it on fire and use the chaos to send you out. Someone will be waiting outside."
At that time, most of the people in Luo Mansion were fighting the fire. With Erdong's skills, it was no problem for him to knock down a few people.
After rescuing the children, they could hide them anywhere and no one from the Luo family would be able to find them.
"That's great!" a child shouted excitedly.
Suddenly, a voice came from above: "Why does it seem like there's movement in the basement?"
Oh no, because we are in the rockery, the echo is very loud.
Hu Xiner could hear the noise made by Gou Wa, so people outside could naturally hear it as well.
The Luo family, who had just returned from dinner, were alarmed, and Hu Xiner immediately took the children out of the basement.
But it was too late. When they came out, two servants were already surrounding them.
"Run! Then carry out the original plan!"
They were definitely unable to win the fight, so five or six people used all their strength to escape in all directions.
But at this moment, a group of people surrounded them, led by Luo Yan, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes.
She smiled smugly and said, "I want to see who is so bold as to rob my Luo family's basement!"
Gou Wa rushed over when she was not paying attention: "Bad woman, I will kill you!"
All the servants rushed to protect Luo Yan, and the others received Gou Wa's hint and tried their best to escape.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he struggled, he was defeated and tied up together.
Luo Yan is very cunning and guessed that anyone who dared to rob the basement must have helpers outside.
She waved her hand and said, "Take these people and follow me!"
She quickly forced the abducted boys to move with Hu Xiner.
