Looking for the beauty

Luo Jin had not followed them before. She thought for a while, "I'll pretend to pawn something and try it out. Maybe there is some mechanism you haven't noticed before."

Jiang Mo said, "I'll go with you."

Luo Jin shook his head, "I'll go by myself. It's not easy to attract attention. You... pay attention to Xiaolian. I always think she's a little weird."

She walked out of the inn and headed north. Not far away, she came to the Jixiang Pawnshop.

Jixiang Pawnshop is located in the city. Today's business is good. There are people queuing at the counter. Luo Jin stood at the end of the line, and while queuing, he observed everywhere.

The person in front of the line was a middle-aged woman in very simple clothes. Luo Jin spoke to her in a familiar manner, "Big sister, this is my first time in this pawnshop. Is it fair?"

The middle-aged woman smiled bitterly, "What's the fair or unfair thing? I'm in a hurry to use the money. What can I do..."

Luo Jin took out a jade pendant from his arms, "Big sister, can you see how much I can get from this pawnshop?"

The middle-aged woman took the jade pendant and took a look at it, then put it back in Luo Jin's hand and shook her head, saying, "Don't hold your hopes too high. Once it's in the pawnshop, no matter how good the item is, it won't be worth much. I guess... he might just give you ten taels?"

"Ten taels?" Luo Jin covered his mouth, "I spent five hundred taels to buy this... isn't it too unfair?"

At this time, the people in front of the counter shouted, "This is the finest brocade, how can it be worth only five taels?"

"Pledge it if you want! Next one!" The shopkeeper snorted, "I'm busy. If you don't want it, there are plenty of people who can."

Many people began to feel dissatisfied, including the middle-aged sister.

"This is the only pawnshop in the city, so you dare to do it in the dark?"

"If that doesn't work, let's go to the pawnshop in Weicheng. There are many pawnshops there, so it will only take a few more hours to get there!"

"That's right, I'm waiting for the money to save my life!"

Luo Jin took the opportunity to start fanning the flames, "Yes, I used to pawn in Weicheng, and the salary was more than twice as high as this! It's still early, why don't we call a car to Weicheng together? We can be back before dark!"

When she said this, everyone started to move.

"She's right!"

"Go to Weicheng!"

The shopkeeper panicked and hurried out, "Don't worry, everyone, we can talk it out... we can talk it out..."

Luo Jin saw that the shop was busy and chaotic, so he took advantage of the chaos to go to the back of the shop.

This is a courtyard, a very ordinary residential courtyard with a row of houses inside. Thinking that Jiang Mo had searched the house one by one before, there was no point for her to go in again.

She squatted down and closed her eyes.

A faint red light appeared in front of her eyes. She could sense all the insects nearby and control them. This was the ability of the Red Emperor Dragon.

If there is a basement, people can't see it, but the insects underground will definitely know it.

Finally, her eyes locked on one of the rooms, which was a woodshed.

The door of the woodshed was not locked. She walked over and pushed it, and the door opened.

There were bundles of dry firewood and some sundries inside. At first glance, it looked like a very ordinary woodshed, and there was nothing special about it.

But since Luo Jin was sure that there was an organization here, everything looked very suspicious in her eyes. When she saw anything, she couldn't help but touch it and turn it around.

After groping for a long time, she suddenly touched a brick thrown on the ground. It looked inconspicuous, but when she wanted to pick it up, she found that it was firmly embedded in the ground and could not be picked up at all.

Luo Jin was delighted and tried to turn the brick.

It can be turned!

She turned it left and right several times, but there was no response. She thought that there might be a sequence. She didn't know the sequence, but the universal method of rudimentary lifting was always right. If it is a place you often enter, the turning method will not be too complicated. There will always be a chance if you try a few more times.

She silently chanted: "Left one, right one...left one...right two..."

When she turned to left three and right two, almost an hour had passed, and suddenly the stone slab under her feet slowly opened to both sides, revealing a downward passage.

She heaved a long sigh of relief and looked into the passage.

There was a stone staircase at the entrance of the passage, and she could go down directly along the stone staircase, but it was pitch black inside and she couldn't see what was going on.

Luo Jin found a flint from the woodshed, made a simple torch with firewood, and walked down the stairs holding the torch.

Not far away, she could see a stone chamber with a brazier in the middle. Luo Jin lit the brazier with the torch, and the stone chamber was instantly illuminated. Her pupils shrank and she could hardly breathe.

There were a bunch of small cages densely packed around the stone chamber, and each cage contained a child - no, maybe some of them were no longer children.

These children were dressed in rags, huddled in small cages. Occasionally some of them moved, but most of the time they remained motionless, like motionless puppets.

The sudden light made them cover their eyes uncomfortably, and after a while some of them slowly put their hands down and looked at Luo Jin with curiosity.

"Little fish!" Luo Jin couldn't tell which one contained the little fish, so he shouted.

But there was no response. After a long while, a child tentatively said, "Sister, are you talking about... the secret agent brother?"

Luo Jin hurriedly walked towards the child, "You have seen him, right?"

The child nodded, "He was brought here yesterday. He said someone would come to save us... Sister, are you here to save us?"

The child was a girl. Her face was obviously not that of a little girl. She looked like a little girl in her teens, but she was very short and looked only four or five years old.

Luo Jin felt a little blocked in her heart. She took out a dagger and chopped at the iron chain that tied the cage. The short knife Lan Que cut iron like mud. The iron chain was cut in one go like tofu and fell to the ground.

The girl was stunned for a moment, stretched out her hand to push open the iron door, but timidly retracted her hand.

Luo Jin pulled the door open, reached out and hugged the girl inside, and took her out of the cage.

The girl was very thin and short, and Luo Jin felt as if he was holding a four or five-year-old child.

"How old are you?" Luo Jin asked softly in her ear.

"Thirteen." The girl whispered.

Luo Jin's nose was sore. She put the girl down and whispered, "Wait, sister will go and let the others out."

She walked to another cage and cut the chain with a dagger. The boy was locked in this cage. He was braver. He hesitated for a moment and pushed the door open and walked out. The

girl followed Luo Jin and watched her rescue people. She said, "Sister, the brother yesterday said he was a secret agent. He said he left a secret code and you would come to rescue us. But he was taken away..."

Luo Jin's hands kept moving and her voice was urgent. "Where was he taken?"

The girl thought for a while, "The secret agent brother asked me to tell you that he stole a kind of incense."

She took out a small paper bag from her arms, "This is it."

Luo Jin took the sachet and sniffed it gently. He could smell a very faint fragrance.

"You are so smart, no wonder the secret agent brother chose you to deliver the message." Luo Jin turned around and smiled at her, "What's your name?"

The girl also smiled, "I'm not that smart... My name is A Kui."

When she smiled, the corners of her mouth suddenly twitched, and she squatted down and covered her abdomen.

"What's wrong?" Luo Jin hurriedly supported her, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No... It's okay," A Kui's forehead was oozing with big beads of sweat, but she still tried to smile back, "It's just... my stomach hurts sometimes, just bear with it. Most of the people here are sick, I... am considered to be relatively good. "

Luo Jin clenched his fists.

A thirteen-year-old girl is at the stage of physical development, but she is imprisoned in this small cage. Her internal organs are swollen and squeezed. If she can't survive, she will most likely die.

There are a total of twenty-one children. Luo Jin counted them after releasing them one by one, and said softly: "Sister will take you out now. You have been indoors for a long time, and your eyes may not be able to adapt to the outside world. You must open your eyes slowly, okay?"

Some children still couldn't believe it.

"Really? Are you really going to save us out?"

"So... we are free?"

Luo Jin smiled, "Yes, we are free. I will let the government help you find your family and arrange your place properly. Even if you can't find your family, I will find a livelihood for you, don't worry! "

Akui looked up at Luo Jin, eyes full of admiration, "Secret detective brother said that a sister who is a high-ranking official will come to save us. Is your sister a high-ranking official? A very high-ranking official?"

Luo Jin couldn't help but touch her head, "Yes, a very high-ranking official, high enough to protect you!"

She was about to go out, when suddenly a figure came out and swung a knife at her. There

were many children standing behind Luo Jin, and she couldn't avoid it. Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she swung her palm to hit the man's wrist. The long knife slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground.

She turned around and saw a burly man staring at her. There was no surprise in his eyes, he just stared at her blankly, and then swung his palm to attack her face.

Luo Jin dodged to the side, Then she grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it hard. There was a sound of "crack" and the man's wrist fell down.

But he did not hesitate and continued to attack with his other hand.

Luo Jin naturally had no sympathy for such a villain, and would not show mercy. She turned around and slapped the man on the back, making him spit blood and fall to the ground.

The children behind her cheered immediately.

"Sister is so powerful! You are worthy of being a big official!"

"Big officials are big officials, and big officials are very powerful officials!"

"This bad guy has been watching us all day, and finally someone beat him up! "

A childish one, she kicked the man hard on the butt.

A Kui pulled the child, "Okay, he's just a guard, he doesn't bully us, right?"

At this time, a figure flashed outside, Luo Jin stepped forward and blocked the group of children.

When she saw the person clearly, her eyes sank slightly, "Long Ying?"

Before Long Ying could say anything, Jiang Mo followed in. He stood at the door holding a long sword, and was slightly startled when he saw Luo Jin.

Long Ying was also startled, "Luo Jin? Why are you here?"
