Seeing that Xu Qingshan couldn't find anything here for the time being, and couldn't find out more details about the situation in the basement, Xiushui decided to leave quickly.
Everything has to wait until Yingying comes back before we can take the next step.
However, she wanted everything to be peaceful and calm, but she didn't know that trouble would come to her.
As soon as I got home, I saw my cousin and many other people who were on this trip looking for someone anxiously.
"What's going on?"
"Hei Mei and Zi Shi are both missing. The two children only said they were looking for you, but not long after they left, someone heard children screaming. Although the sound was a little distorted, some people still said it sounded like Hei Mei and the others' screams.
Then we hurried to find someone.
But the weird thing is, I just heard the screams in the front, and then I looked for them but couldn’t find anyone. Now you’ve come back, but the two children are still missing.”
Xiushui's expression changed slightly.
They had been warned before going out this time that anyone leaving the house should tell others before going out. Heimei and Zishi were both smart children, and it was impossible for them to hide when they knew there was danger and their families were looking for them.
So being kidnapped was inevitable. If you look for someone after hearing a sound, and then you lose them, then that can only mean that they are either highly skilled in Qinggong or not.
Or, there is a secret passage.
"Have you searched all around here?"
"I looked for them, but there was no one. I asked the villagers, but they were hesitant to explain. There was one person I thought might know something, but when I asked him more, he said he had something urgent to do and left."
"Take me to that person."
Xiushui couldn't care about anything else at the moment.
Soon, they found the villager who was unwilling to explain in detail.
Looking at the extremely thin woman in front of her, there was fear in her eyes, but she also looked as if she knew they were coming.
Xiushui was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.
"Just tell me what you saw and I'll give you a hundred taels."
Chang Kang gasped when he heard this. Wasn't his sister too generous? This woman would laugh out loud at ten taels of silver.
Now he asks for one hundred taels.
In fact, after robbing several treasure troves in Xiushui, she really didn't have much concept of money anymore.
Hei Mei's life is not worth a hundred taels? That's a joke.
Even though the woman was prepared, her pupils still shrank.
Xiushui added calmly, "We'll tell everyone we only gave you one or two ounces of silver. But the truth is, you can live in our Linji Village. You can bring your children and your husband. That's it. This is your only chance. If you seize it,
From now on, you can live in our village for a long time, and you will also have an unexpected amount of money."
Chang Kang opened his mouth several times, but couldn't utter a single word. He had never known his cousin was so wealthy and decisive.
The woman did have some concerns, but after hearing that she could go to the village of Linji to live.
Her eyes lit up. "Will we be safe if we stay here long-term? If those people knew I'd exposed their secrets, they'd definitely come after my family. It's not like everyone in the village doesn't know about their collusion, but they're worried..."
Xiushui interrupted again. "Our village has a security team and a patrol team with special abilities. If you go, no one will dare to provoke you."
"I said..."
Fortunately, the woman was a straightforward person. After making sure there were no concerns, she poured out everything.
"There are several families in our village who are actually connected to the people in Wangjiazhuang next door. They usually help coax some girls and boys to go to that village.
The villagers knew they were doing something disgusting, but they were too tyrannical to say anything. The two children just now were obviously pretty and straightforward, exactly their type.
I saw Li Laoshi and his wife cover the two children's mouths, then went into their house and disappeared."
After Xiushui listened patiently, she quickly sent someone to find Li Laoshi's house.
As expected, there was a tunnel leading to the next door. The old woman and her dog tried to block it, but Xiushui kicked them over.
The old woman's mouth was covered by her.
"Brother Changkang, let's go find Heimei and the others."
This delay will take some time. If she is taken away by those people and something happens again, she will never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
After looking at the hole in the ground and feeling that the speed would be very slow, Xiushui decided to go to the next door village himself.
Chang Kang and his men led people out of the cave to look for people.
After a stick of incense, Xiushui arrived behind the ancestral hall of the Wang family village.
She was lying outside the ancestral hall, familiar with the door, but she couldn't open it without someone to lead the way.
She didn't know if it was because she was too lucky, but while she was hiding, several carriages arrived.
The four men may have received the news and came in from outside and opened the car door directly.
Then a woman got out of the car.
As soon as he jumped down, he flapped his arms and cried out in pain.
"It's exhausting. There are fewer and fewer people fleeing famine these days. We're lucky to find so much merchandise. We have to give more rewards this time, otherwise our business won't work. The people down there are getting harder and harder to talk to."
The voice sounded familiar, so Xiushui leaned out. She took a look and saw that the person looked familiar.
This was none other than Widow Ma.
Since she was Widow Ma, why didn’t she recognize Taozi?
Although puzzled, Xiushui still lay in the dark and observed everything.
After a while, several girls were pulled out of the car.
Just looking at the figures of these people, you can tell that they are probably decent-looking girls. Combined with the group of tortured girls below, without exception, they are all pretty or have good figures.
"Is there anyone better among this bunch of bastards? Recently, some wealthy gentlemen have grown tired of the previous bunch and want to switch to some fresher ones, but they have to be good-looking and have a good figure."
"Yes, there are two on this trip. Look, they're in the last car. They're said to be from wealthy families. If it weren't for the cleverness of my men, we wouldn't be able to get such good stuff."
Then, the two girls in the last car were pulled out. Even Xiushui had to admit that these two girls were indeed good-looking.
But why does one of the girls look familiar?
After taking a closer look, it looks familiar.
If it weren't for the girl on the left's clothes and her resolute expression, she would have thought it was Yan Hong herself.
Although she didn't know what the relationship between the girl and Yan Hong was, she had a hunch that this person might be the one Yan Hong had been looking for.
There is another one who looks like Daiyu, weak, but so beautiful that people want to hold her in their hands and pamper her.
Anyway, as a straight woman, she was quite moved by the sight. If she fell into the den of those wolves...
"Wow, these two are really good. I didn't expect that a widow like you could find such outstanding people. Tsk tsk, you are getting better and better at making a living now."
"That's right. For retirement money, I worked my ass off. One of these two is said to be a daughter of a wealthy family in the capital.
The other one was a young lady from a wealthy family who was also looking for a younger sister. Our people followed her because they were good-looking, and that's why they succeeded.
Gentlemen, you have to pay a good price for these two. Otherwise, I won’t be able to deliver to my men.”
