Wu Hua took the handkerchief, saw the emblem on it, and feigned surprise as she looked at the old women.
"Hey, this handkerchief is the same as my sister Shuiying's!"
Upon hearing this, the old women gasped for breath.
He quickly stood up and looked around to make sure the bandits were not nearby.
Upon returning to Wu Hua's side, he asked eagerly and excitedly...
"Little one, who did you just call me? Whose handkerchief is this?"
Pointing to the emblem on the handkerchief, she said, "This mark is exactly the same as my sister Shuiying's clan emblem!"
Upon hearing this, the old women became even more excited and tightly grasped Wu Hua's hand.
"How is the priest? How are the people? Are they all safe? Where are they staying now?"
Wu Hua understood their feelings at that moment, so she told them about Shui Ying and the Shou Ze clan.
"Sister Shuiying and the members of the Shouze clan are all safe. They have settled down in Weisi County. My brother and they opened a Zeshui Pavilion, and business is doing very well!"
The old women were filled with relief upon hearing this, before they even had a chance to express their feelings.
Then Wu Hua said, "Sister Shuiying left many marks, but we haven't been able to find you. How did you end up here? The distance between us is too far..."
The old women, recalling the scene, all wiped away their tears.
"In order to draw away the pursuers, we older folks ran in the opposite direction, thinking that it would be good to buy the priest some time. But we didn't get far before we were captured by a group of bandits!"
Seeing how heartbroken they were, Wu Hua wiped away their tears one by one.
He then took out a small water pouch from his pocket, looking at them with a face full of heartache.
"Grandmas, each of you take a sip, and we'll talk after you've finished. There's no rush!"
Seeing its concerned little face, the old women immediately took the drink and each drank a little.
Then, I felt that my emotions were not so agitated.
The old injuries from years of hard work no longer hurt.
They looked at Wu Hua in surprise, then scratched their heads sheepishly.
"This medicine was prepared by my grandfather, and it's very good for the body."
When you visit Weisi County in the future, you'll see how amazing my grandfather You's medical skills are.
Upon hearing this, the old women all sighed deeply.
“My child, we’re afraid we can’t escape, but don’t worry, the old women will definitely find a way to send you out! We will never let you suffer here with us!”
Seeing that they were all pale and thin, Wu Hua realized that escaping would indeed be difficult.
But who is it? A mythical beast, Dang Kang! Just to confuse some bandits? Is that all there is to it?
It's absolutely effortless and easy to handle!
"Grandmas, don't worry! Someone will come to rescue us! Please continue, tell us, why did we end up here?"
The old women felt a surge of hope when they heard that someone would come to rescue them.
She told Wu Hua all her experiences.
"After we were captured, we all thought we were going to die. But instead of killing us, they took us around and made us dig for a mine every time we went to a new place. This is the third mine they've ever dug!"
Wu Hua stroked her chin.
"How did they find these veins? Do you know what the first two are?"
The old women all shook their heads.
"I don't know. We were assigned to cook in the kitchen as soon as we arrived, but many of our tribesmen are underground in the mines. They should know!"
The old women's eyes welled up with tears again as they thought of their tribesmen who had been mistreated in the mines.
Wu Hua quickly comforted
"Grandma, don't worry, my brother has already gone down into the mine. If she sees the emblem, she will definitely try to rescue them first! Even if she can't rescue them right now, it doesn't matter. She has a lot of medicine on her, and she will definitely make sure nothing happens to the other members of the tribe!"
This was the first piece of good news they heard after being arrested, and everyone excitedly grabbed the hands of the people next to them.
Although they were about to be rescued, the work still needed to be done first.
After the old women finished chatting, they hurriedly prepared the meal, waiting for the bandits to come and carry it away.
Wu Hua tugged at one of the people's sleeves
"Uncle, could you please take me to see my brother? I haven't seen him for half a day, please!"
The old women were startled by its actions, but Wu Hua winked at them, and they finally relaxed.
For some reason, the bandits actually agreed to its demands.
"Okay, then you can come with us, but I won't be carrying you!"
"Okay, thank you, Uncle!"
The bandit's mouth stretched from the repeated calls of "Uncle" to the back of his ears.
"Fine, considering you're still young, I'll carry you! Otherwise, with those short legs of yours, who knows how long you'll keep fussing around!"
Wu Hua didn't mind and reached out her hand to him directly.
"Uncle, hug me!"
The bandit bent down and picked it up.
"You can only see them once, and not again. After they finish eating, you have to come back with them, and you can't go back on your word!"
"Okay, Uncle, I understand!"
The bandit was charmed by its cuteness and started chatting with it as they walked.
"Your name is Zaizai! How old are you this year?"
Wu Hua held up three little fingers
"It's three years old!"
The two chatted more and more congenially, making the bandits carrying food behind them somewhat envious.
They are all separated from their families by thousands of miles; some have wives and children at home, while others have younger siblings.
Seeing Wu Hua made them even more homesick...
Qin Luo and Wang Yue dug hard all morning, but they still couldn't fill a basket with gold.
Wang Yue knew something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
