A monk comes to buy brown sugar?
"Chongfeng."
She immediately gave a look, and Chong Feng understood and put away his sword, then flashed out, while Chu Li stepped into the candy shop.
The boss came over with a smile:
"Girl, do you want to weigh the sugar? My brown sugar is very sweet, take a look."
Chu Li glanced at the brown sugar cubes piled in the bamboo basket. Each piece was big and thick, and the sweetness was so greasy that it pungent.
He glanced at it casually and said:
"That little master just now also came to buy brown sugar?"
The boss was stunned: "Which one?"
Immediately reacted:
"Oh~~ You are talking about the monk from Tianling Temple. He is indeed here to buy brown sugar."
“How much did he buy?”
"Three pounds."
"Does he come here often?"
A quarter of an hour later.
Chu Li got the information he wanted and walked out of the candy shop. When he turned the corner, Chong Feng had already captured the monk.
Monk struggles:
"Let me go! Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"
Chu Li saw that he was not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old, and did not look like the "young man" that the woman talked about.
"You are a grown man, why did you buy so much brown sugar?"
Brown sugar is generally used to replenish women's qi and blood, especially after childbirth, to nourish the body. It is cheap and easy to use.
Monk Angry:
"What does it have to do with you... ugh!"
Chong Feng grabbed her by the back of her neck and said in a cold voice, "Just answer whatever the mistress asks!"
The monk couldn't break free, couldn't run away, and was so angry that he gasped:
"We have many pilgrims in Tianling Temple, and there are often pilgrims who stay overnight, including female guests. The abbot asked me to buy brown sugar to entertain the female guests."
"That won't take that much."
It’s a full three pounds, quite a big bag.
Use brown sugar to boil water and cook eggs. Just break off a small piece.
The monk glared at her angrily: "This is our Tianling Temple's business, what do you know?"
"Oh? Could it be that the sacred place of Tianling Temple actually hides women giving birth? Are you monks secretly breaking the vow of chastity?"
"you!"
The little monk's pupils shrank sharply, and the panic in that moment did not seem fake.
"You... what, what do you mean by pregnant woman... I don't understand what you are saying..."
Chu Li smiled:
"Every six months, you would buy three pounds of brown sugar each time. But since I was a child, I have been to Tianling Temple countless times, but I have never seen you treat me with brown sugar eggs."
So, where did all the brown sugar go?
There is only one possibility:
To nourish the body of the woman who has just given birth.
"I've come to this point, and it's so clear, do you still want to play tricks on me?"
The little monk panicked, but he clenched his hands tightly and refused to admit, "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Chu Li smiled:
"Do you want me to make this public, so that everyone in the world will know about it? Or do you want me to report it to the authorities and have them turn Tianling Temple upside down? Or how about something more straightforward... Chongfeng!"
With a cold voice, Chong Feng grabbed his arm and directly disarmed his right arm.
Snap!
"ah!!"
"Will you tell me?"
“I… don’t know… ah! ah!”
The arms were taken off and put on again, put on again and taken off again, over and over again. It was a life-threatening torture.
The little monk turned pale with pain and almost fainted. He finally begged for mercy:
"Have mercy...have mercy...I'll tell you, I said..."
Chu Li: "If I had known this would happen, why would I have been so stubborn?"
The little monk cried in pain:
"I bought the brown sugar for a woman, but I don't know who she is. I only heard from the people nearby that she was crazy and had no relatives. She was very pitiful, so I helped her when I occasionally went down the mountain."
Let’s not speculate on the truth of what he said.
"Where does the woman live? Lead the way!"
"Yes, yes."
The little monk led the way with his arms folded, holding back his tears.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, we left the town and headed towards a more and more remote place.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, there were no more villagers to be seen around, and finally, behind the bank of a field, we saw an old, dilapidated house.
"Inside..."
Chu Li strode over and pushed open the creaking wooden door, only to find it empty inside.
"No one?"
The little monk pointed timidly: "Open the bricks at the end of the bed, there is a cellar underneath."
Chong Feng lowered his eyes, strode over, moved the worn-out wooden barrel, and indeed found the loose bricks.
One, two, three...
These bricks are five layers thick!
When I lifted the floor, I saw a square entrance. As soon as I stuck my head out half a centimeter, a strong stench hit my nose!
"Madam, I will... ahem!"
It’s so stuffy and smelly!
Chu Li looked calm and stepped forward, "It's okay, I'll go down first."
"Madam!"
Chu Li jumped down and when he landed steadily, he heard the sound of iron chains moving around him, rustling like a mouse running by.
Chong Feng immediately followed, closely guarded Chu Li, took out a fire starter and lit it.
The light slowly illuminated the cellar, and when the surrounding scene came into view, it gave Chu Li a huge shock:
There were seven or eight women chained down there!
They were tied by the neck to iron rings on the wall, their hair was disheveled, their clothes were in tatters, and their lower bodies were empty, with no skirts or coverings, just like a group of livestock in a pen.
They huddled on a haystack, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating all in this confined space. In addition, there was no air circulation and the smell was foul.
A woman was combing her hair, spitting on her face, and grinning:
"Dressing up... looks good... hehe, looks good..."
The others all shook their heads, looking stupid:
"Is it my turn today?"
“It’s my turn, it’s my turn…”
"hey-hey……"
He scratched his body, caught a louse, put it in his mouth and bit it.
Maybe they had been detained for too long, their eyes were dull, they were drooling and mumbling, and they were mentally ill. Moreover, when they crawled around, their bellies were black and sagging, and their skin and flesh were loose and piled up!
She is in her thirties, but she looks as old as if she had given birth to countless children!
The woman in the corner was naked from the waist down, and the hay beneath her was stained with blood. She clearly looked like she had just given birth!
Chu Li's face turned pale and he immediately turned to the side and started vomiting.
"Madam!"
Chu Li felt dizzy:
"They... have been locked up here for so long that they became insane... They gave birth to many children..."
Thinking of the birthmark on my lower back that was exactly the same as that of the baby boy, I had a terrifying guess...
She grabbed Zhongfeng's arm and almost lost her balance:
"Among these... these people, there might be my biological mother..."
