If this is true, it's too tragic.
Song Yuehua stared at the child for a while before asking, "Are you lying to me?"
"Why would I lie to you?" the child spoke as if he had no emotion.
Song Yuehua asked Pei Feng to untie the man.
Regardless of whether what the child said was true or false, he was just stealing offerings and did not do anything particularly sinful.
"After returning, I told the villagers that the offerings were eaten by a blind bear. You should be more careful in your daily life and don't get caught."
After Song Yuehua finished speaking, the child didn't say a word and ran away.
Pei Feng asked, "Miss, how about I help you investigate the background of these kids?"
"Forget it." Song Yuehua said.
The villagers' offerings would rot if not eaten, so if they went into their stomachs they were considered to have accumulated merit.
Over the next ten days, Xiao Bao played chess with Taoist Miaoshou every day, Pei Feng went out early and came back late, and Song Yuehua went hunting in the mountains with a longbow on her back all day.
Since I told the villagers that there were bears in the mountains, there have been more and more witnesses.
At first, some people said they heard a bear roar, then some said they saw paw prints, and some said they saw a big black bear.
Song Yuehua almost thought there was really a bear here.
That night, Pei Feng returned home and told Song Yuehua about the children's life stories.
"Didn't I tell you not to check?"
Song Yuehua didn't ask what Pei Feng was busy with during this period. She didn't want to interfere in the affairs of such an adult.
But I didn't expect that he would still hold on to those kids.
Pei Feng said, "I just don't want others to deceive the girl."
"Did he lie to me?" Song Yuehua asked.
Pei Feng nodded.
"This damn kid is really just trying to gain sympathy." Song Yuehua cursed.
Then Pei Feng said, "His life experience is actually even more miserable than this."
Song Yuehua, "..."
There were five children in total who stole the offerings.
Four of them escaped from the Lianzhou Charity Bureau, and among them was the child who was caught that day.
In Lianzhou, if a child loses both parents, even if there are relatives or friends willing to support him, it is not allowed.
All orphans must go to the Salesian Institute.
In addition to ordinary orphans, the Salesian Bureau also buys children from human traffickers.
"Buying a child?"
Hearing this, Song Yuehua couldn't help but ask, "Is the Charity Bureau so rich?"
Pei Feng said, "A normal charity bureau naturally doesn't have this much spare money, but if we turn population into a business..."
"What business?"
"Pedophile, skinny horse, killer, medicine man, test baby..."
Having just heard a word she didn't understand, Song Yuehua asked, "What is a test baby?"
"There is a noble in the court who is fond of alchemy, and the baby is prepared for him." Pei Feng's voice couldn't stop trembling when he said this.
"The child we caught that day was the test baby who escaped. So, that child's brain is a little different from that of a normal person."
Song Yuehua had an indescribable feeling in her heart, a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.
It turns out that the Charity Bureau is only doing such disgusting things.
Song Yuehua suddenly felt something was wrong and asked, "How did you find out about these things?"
Pei Feng scratched his face and said, "I hid for a few days and nights, captured all five children, tied them up and interrogated them one by one."
Song Yuehua, "..."
"You didn't use any powerful means, did you?" Song Yuehua asked.
Pei Feng quickly shook his head and said, "I tied them up, questioned them one by one, and tickled the soles of their feet. I didn't do anything else."
Song Yuehua still didn't quite believe this. "How can you be sure that what they said is true?"
"There are marks on their backs," Pei Feng said. "The two test infants are small and thin, but the marks are bigger. It can only be explained that they were branded when they were infants."
Song Yuehua propped up her head and said, "I originally wanted to leave Xiaobao in Wenzhou, but now it seems that we might as well go back together."
No matter how powerful the Qi family is, it would not be to this extent.
Pei Feng said, "Wenzhou and Lianzhou are far apart. As long as they are properly guarded, it won't be a big deal... Besides, Lianzhou is closer to Taoyuan Village."
Song Yuehua, "..."
This seems to be the case considering the distance, so we need to be more careful when passing through Lianzhou in the future.
Xiaobao followed Taoist Master Miaoshou for more than half a month.
Just when Song Yuehua was about to renew the rent for another month, Xiaobao said, "Sister, you can go back with Brother Pei Feng. I will live in Yunshan Pavilion from tomorrow, and you don't have to stay with me every day."
"Did Taoist Master Miaoshou ask you to move in?" Song Yuehua asked.
Xiao Bao said, "I asked her and she agreed."
"Then how long do you plan to stay with her?" Song Yuehua felt uneasy but knew that such an opportunity was rare.
Xiao Bao picked up some pickles and chewed them while thinking, "I don't know until the Taoist priest drives me away."
"If she doesn't drive you away in two or three years, will you stay here forever?" Song Yuehua asked.
Xiao Bao looked at Song Yuehua and said, "Sister, I will miss you."
Song Yuehua, "..."
Because of the Qi family's affairs, Song Yuehua wanted to send Xiaobao here to hide for a while.
Before coming to Wenzhou, Song Yuehua only expected to see Xiaobao for a few months, but she would never bear to not see him for a year or two.
"Sister, my second sister has been staying in Qingzhou for three years. You can't bear to leave her, can you?" Xiaobao comforted her.
"Your second sister is good at embroidery. As long as she comes back from Qingzhou, she will never starve to death in her life. You..."
