Number Nine pointed in a direction honestly.
When Jiang Sheng saw that direction, his throat felt a little dry and he subconsciously walked over. Isn't that the cabin where the little kid is? Damn, why would No. 4 go there?
I walked quickly to the door and heard some noise coming from inside. I ran in and saw a man in black holding a child.
She was strangling the child's neck...
A murderous look flashed in Jiang Sheng's eyes. He dodged behind him, raised his hand and knocked the man unconscious. He reached out to catch the falling child and watched him gasping for breath.
Wu Shuyan thought he was going to die. In a daze, he saw a familiar figure. Feelings of grievance surged in his heart, and tears fell down.
After she recovered, she threw herself into the other person's arms and sobbed.
"Woo woo, big brother, I thought you were dead. Why didn't you come find me? I was so scared. I was almost strangled to death just now."
Jiang Sheng patted his back somewhat uncomfortably and consoled him, "It's okay, it's all over. Why didn't you use the poison I gave you to protect yourself?"
Wu Shuyan felt a little guilty: "I, I thought it was you who came in, but he grabbed me before I could use it. Now that he knows I'm here, he wants to kill me to silence me."
"...You look smart on weekdays, but it turns out you're actually a fool. Sit down. I'll apply medicine to your neck and explain the current situation."
After treating the bruise on his neck a moment later, Jiang Sheng said briefly, "I've infiltrated them now. I can leave openly, but I can't take you out yet."
"Just be patient until the boat reaches the shore. Once you're ashore, disguise yourself as a beggar and approach me. I'll take you into the temple, but you must be obedient and not cause any trouble for me."
"Otherwise...I won't care about you."
Wu Shuyan's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he said admiringly, "Big brother, you are amazing. You can actually get in among them. Is it because of your face? It's so ugly."
Jiang Sheng's mouth twitched, and he said unhappily, "Nonsense! Whoever uses their own face to do something bad, aren't they afraid of getting into trouble later? Of course, using a fake face is more appropriate."
"As for this person, I still have some use for him. He can't die for now. I just need to make sure he doesn't remember what happened here. Close your eyes and wait in the corner."
"I didn't ask you to open your eyes. Don't open them and peek."
"Oh, I see."
Wu Shuyan walked to the corner, turned his back and covered his eyes with his hands.
Jiang Sheng felt relieved upon seeing this. He took Number Four to a corner, twisted a silver needle between his fingers, and after waking the man up with the needle, he stared into his eyes, speaking in a softer and slower voice with a hint of bewitchment.
Number Four's originally clear eyes quickly became confused.
"Tell me, what's your name, and what do you usually do in the temple?"
"Number Four, You Nu is just a slave. I will do whatever the Master tells me to do. My life and death are in the Master's hands. I am an orphan, I have no family and no real name."
Jiang Sheng continued, "What about Number Six? How much do you know about him? What will he do after returning to the temple?"
"... Number Six is a fool. He does whatever we tell him to do. He's usually very obedient. He's just a handyman in the temple, helping us with our work."
"It's different now. He's a venerable man now. He can kill us at any time and order us to do things. We have no chance of resistance."
Jiang Sheng felt much more relieved after he got the information out of the way. It seemed that these ghost slaves were all orphans. Since orphans really knew very little, he didn't have to worry about his identity being discovered.
"Very good. From now on, forget everything that happened. Forget that you were ever in the cabin. You just passed by and left. Did you hear me?"
Number Four nodded dully, "I know. I've never been to the cabin, and I didn't see anything..."
Jiang Sheng snapped his fingers, raised his eyebrows at the man who fell down with his eyes closed, and carried him directly to the back of the cabin, waiting for him to wake up.
This was the first time he used hypnosis, so he wasn't sure how effective it would be. The worst result was that No. 4 would remember it, but so what. He could just find an excuse to kill him then.
After dealing with this matter, he returned to the cabin, squatted down and shouted, "Okay, turn around, I've dealt with that person, you continue to hide here and don't run around."
"When the ship is about to dock, I will take you to the shore. Remember what I told you, come to me disguised as a beggar, and I will take you in and bring you to the temple."
"Remember, you are an orphan, and orphans understand."
Wu Shuyan turned around and nodded obediently, smiling ingratiatingly: "Big brother, you won't abandon me, right? I will definitely be obedient, please don't abandon me."
"No, I will take you to the temple. Once you find your family, you can go home. If your family is a believer in the temple, then going to the temple is like going home."
“…Yeah, I understand.”
Jiang Sheng brought some food and left.
Wu Shuyan sighed deeply. He didn't know where his mother was, and he thought she wouldn't be among the common people. Going to the temple was the best choice. I'm sorry, big brother, I don't want to lie to you.
But without you leading the way, I can't get to the temple.
Two days passed quickly and the ship was about to dock.
Jiang Sheng took advantage of the night and used teleportation to cover the child's eyes and send him directly to the shore. After giving him some silver and giving him a few instructions, he returned to the boat and used his internal energy to dry his clothes.
The ship docked at noon the next day.
A group of men in black disembarked one after another. Venerable Bing stood beside him and whispered, "This is the dock. We'll have dinner there later. It will take another two days by carriage to reach the temple."
"Well, thank you Brother Bing for the reminder."
"Nothing, let's go, it's time for us to go down."
Someone had come to meet them on the shore. When they saw them disembarking and approaching, they flattered them, saying, "Masters, you've returned. Please come this way. I've prepared a feast for you."
Shadow hummed, his face stern. "Prepare the carriage and food. We'll return to the temple immediately after dinner. There's no time to waste."
"Yes, yes, sir, please come this way."
Wherever the group passed, the people bowed down and knelt down with fear on their faces. No one dared to look up, for fear of accidentally getting into trouble.
Jiang Sheng glanced around and didn't see the small figure. He raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He followed everyone into the mansion. After eating and drinking, he got on the carriage and felt a lot more relaxed.
I don't know how much time passed before the carriage suddenly stopped. Due to inertia, the tea in my hand spilled out and splashed onto the clothes of the person opposite me.
Ice Venerable: "...Nothing, I'll change into something else later."
"Well, what's going on outside?"
The sound of a child crying was heard. Jiang Sheng heard this familiar voice, lifted the curtain and went out. Sure enough, the person who was knocked to the ground in front of the carriage was the child.
It's just that his head was hit and bleeding, and the blood was dripping, looking a bit pitiful.
"Horseman, what's going on?"
"To answer your question, I was just on my way when I accidentally bumped into this kid who came out. I immediately chased him away."
"Don't worry, sir. It won't delay your trip."
The groom yelled, "Here's a tael of silver. Take it and get out of here. If you get in the way again, I'll kill you!"
