Chen Li raised her eyebrows. She had to admit that the boss was quite smart. Most people would never have thought that he would use such a trick to hide the truth under the lamp.
Pei Yu raised his hand and pressed a few acupuncture points on his body to seal his internal energy, then walked towards the chair above.
Chen Li also loosened his wrist. Perhaps the poison took effect, he staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, with a little blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Hearing that it had become quiet outside, he understood that the Panshan Village, which he had spent more than twenty years to carefully build since he took over, was destroyed.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't heartbroken, but his own life was in the hands of others, and there was no telling how many people were out there, and he couldn't escape. Thinking of this, his ugly face turned even paler.
Pei Yu squatted down and reached out to touch it. After a while, he really took out an identical box. Compared with that box, this box was obviously much more exquisite, and the lock on it also showed signs of being tampered with.
When Pei Yu saw the box, the corners of his mouth curled up. He had already found this thing, but some problems occurred on the way to transport it back to Beijing, and it ended up in Panshan Village by accident.
The lock on it showed signs of having been pried open, but fortunately Yang Fan was not stupid enough to realize that it couldn't be opened by force, so he didn't bother trying anymore.
Now that it was decided, there was no need for Yang Fan to stay alive, so Pei Yu sent him away and walked to Chen Li with the box and handed it to her.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
"Um."
Chen Li took it. The lock on it was very delicate and the box was very light. She didn't know what material it was made of. Her mental power could not penetrate into it, so she couldn't see what was inside.
But this box is so light, I think it might be a secret book or something.
She handed it back to him without asking what was inside. It was not good to know too much, and she didn't want to be too involved with Wei Zian.
Wei Zian is a mysterious person and there are too many dangers around him, but what she wants in this life is a stable life.
"Let's go and take a look outside."
The ground outside was in a mess, with corpses of bandits scattered all over the floor. Tianqing and his men were cleaning up the spoils.
In an open space, Tianqing and the others gathered together the dozen or so women and children left in the village.
These women are all good-looking, but now they all have one thing in common: they are thin and lifeless.
Perhaps these children were used to the cruel things they had seen in the bandit’s den, but they just stood there without making any noise or making any noise.
The women all fell to the ground. When they saw someone coming, most of them kept their heads down. Only Bai Yao raised her head cautiously and looked at the two of them.
After noticing the presence of a woman, he breathed a sigh of relief, imperceptibly. As long as there was a woman, their fate wouldn't be too bad.
Chen Li looked at the woman in gray robe next to her. She looked very embarrassed now, her hands constantly twisting the clothes in front of her, and she didn't look like the one who had poisoned her just now.
I don’t know how Wei Zian and the others will arrange these women?
Pei Yu did not kill all these women. Instead, he asked Tianqing to take fifty taels of silver from the bandits' warehouse and give them to each of them, and asked them to go down the mountain early the next morning.
These fifty taels of silver will be the capital for their livelihood in the future. As for whether they can keep it, that is their business.
All these women accepted it. After this experience, they were homeless. If they didn't get some money, they would really have nowhere to go.
As for those children, Pei Yu had other plans and had someone take them aside first.
Soon the bandits in the village were cleared out, and the people brought by Pei Yu took over Panshan Village.
Just as Chen Li was about to leave, Bai Yao suddenly rushed over, knelt at her feet, raised her slightly swollen face and looked at her: "Girl, I have nowhere to go, can you let me follow you?"
To be honest, Chen Li admired her ability to poison those bandits, but that didn't mean she had to take her with her.
"You have money and skills now, so you can find a place you like and live a good life."
Bai Yao smiled bitterly, "My whole family was killed by them, and I have nowhere to go."
As he spoke, he kowtowed at Shen Li's feet, "Miss, please let me follow you. I am willing to sell myself as a slave. Besides, my family used to run a clinic, so I know a lot about pharmacology."
She was proving to Chen Li that she was a useful person.
"Can you deliver babies?"
Bai Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes."
Because she had some talent in studying, her grandfather brought her up with him since she was a child and she also knew how to deliver babies.
"Then you can follow me first, and then you can decide whether to stay or go."
"Thank you, young lady."
Bai Yao finally smiled and secretly made up her mind that she would not leave.
In fact, before poisoning tonight, she had already prepared to die. Although the aconite is highly toxic, it cannot catch all these bandits in one fell swoop. There are only a few people cooking, and she doesn't want to implicate others.
The reason her face was red and swollen was because a few bandits came to ask who poisoned her. Just when she was about to admit it, two men in black rushed in and she was saved.
Half an hour later, Shen Changshan and his group came down the mountain pulling two carts filled with things they needed. In addition, each family received 100 taels of silver.
Chen Li also learned that Bai Yao's family did run a clinic in the past. During one of their family outings, they accidentally ran into bandits from Panshan Village and were abducted to the top of the mountain. Later, she was the only one left in the Bai family.
When the group returned to the foot of the mountain with their belongings, everyone was very happy looking at the things on the cart and the silver they had received.
Bring Bai Yao to Lin Cuicui, "Mom, this is Bai Yao, he will stay with us for the time being."
Lin Cuicui looked at Bai Yao a few times in the firelight. Her eyes were clear and her brows were firm. She seemed to be a good girl.
"Okay, you must be hungry, come and eat."
Holding Chen Li in one hand and Bai Yao in the other, they walked towards where the food was.
Bai Yao's originally uneasy heart was slightly calmed down because of Lin Cuicui's action.
She walked to the pot, picked up the clean bowl next to it, and started to serve the food. Seeing Lin Cuicui coming over to help, she hurriedly said, "Madam, you keep it. I can do it."
Lin Cuicui looked at her daughter, and Chen Li smiled at her mother, asking her to relax. Bai Yao had just arrived and was nervous, so she wanted to do something to prove her worth.
…
"Ali, look, the fog is quite thick this morning."
They had been traveling for several days since they left Dapan Mountain. They had not encountered any other problems along the way, but they were keenly aware that the temperature was dropping day by day.
For example, this morning, when they woke up, they saw the fog surrounding them.
