Chapter 68: The Money Bag Is Empty
It turned out that when the incident happened that day, Cao'er happened to bump into a scene that shouldn't have been bumped into, however, Cao'er accidentally made a sound in a panic, and Lupin suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
So, he temporarily imprisoned her, and planned to kill her after Leng Yueming's funeral was over.
It's just that after Leng Chitong made a big fuss in the hall, Lu Ping discovered that he not only had strange abilities hidden in his body, but also inexplicably got involved with the handmaidens of the Yishan faction.
Lupin feared that if he didn't give him a satisfactory explanation, he would have a big fuss for three days in the future.
If that's the case, it's too much trouble!
Therefore, in order to quietly calm this hidden danger, Lupin carefully arranged such a leaky scam.
In fact, as early as the day when Leng Chitong was knocked away by a squeaky palm, Lu Ping had already made full use of the secret forces of the various parties in Hongzhou to find Leng Chitong's whereabouts before he woke up.
On that day, Leng Chitong thought that he had been following Cao'er and several disciples of the Mei Academy behind his back, but he didn't know that everything was actually arranged in advance by Lu Ping's hands.
That night, everything that Leng Chitong and Squeak saw and heard while hiding on the roof were naturally just a scene that Lupin intended for them to watch.
The reason why things are twisted and sneaky is also to make the play more realistic, so that Leng Chitong can finally believe Cao'er's words.
Sure enough, Lupin succeeded.
Leng Chitong would never have dreamed that all this accident was arranged by someone in advance!
At this time, Cao'er was obviously in a desperate situation, she hated herself for believing Lupin's nonsense, thinking that as long as she did what he asked, he would release himself and his parents.
Father! Mother! It's all my fault...... I'm sorry kids!
Cao'er, who finally faced reality, sat down on the ground as if she had no soul.
"However, I can't imagine it, I can't imagine that an honest face is so useful, and I don't even see the problem with that shrewd squeak......" Lupin looked down at the honest grass with satisfaction, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The grass was stunned, and tears of remorse flowed subconsciously and slid all over her cheeks.
"Tut-tut, why are you still crying! This pear blossom brings rain, it really makes me feel distressed......" Lupin stroked his chin with one hand, looked at the grass that was quite standard, and suddenly had evil thoughts in his heart.
Cao'er listened to Lupin's words, goosebumps inexplicably appeared in her heart, and she instinctively sensed the strangeness of the atmosphere.
She quickly wiped away her tears, and her body couldn't help but move back a little, looking at Lupin in horror, who was slowly approaching her.
Lu ...... Senior Brother Lu, you ...... What are you going to do......" Cao'er was so frightened that she kept picking at the dirt on the ground with her fingernails, and her voice couldn't help but tremble.
In Lupin's eyes, the flickering heat became more and more obvious, revealing an impatient look, "I said Cao'er, you are going to be a dead man in the future anyway, what are you afraid of?" It is better to serve me well before you die....... I'm sure you'll want to die! ”
"Don't ...... Don't ......" Cao'er knew that she had nowhere to run, and she was almost desperate.
"If you serve Uncle Ben well, maybe I'll let your father and mother go as soon as I'm happy, hahahaha!"
Lu Ping laughed loudly, and when he had finished speaking, he was about to throw himself at the poor grass.
"Bang bang!"
Five or six slaps suddenly rang out one after another.
Lupin didn't react to what was happening, he was completely confused, only to feel a hot pain on his face.
"Who!?" Lupin couldn't see clearly, only felt a vague figure flash around him!
"What about people? What about people! ”
When Lu Ping fixed his eyes, the grass was gone, and he was shocked and angry.
Lupin kept rubbing his red and swollen face as he looked around.
What is the origin of this man? Why can't you get along with me!
When Lupin came to his senses, he guessed that this person was the same person who had rescued Cao'er's parents from him a few days earlier. It's just that he couldn't figure out the identity of this person after trying his best, but he vaguely felt that this person's origin was a little unsimple.
As a result, Lupin, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to leave, deeply feeling that he had suffered a big dumb loss.
......…...........................
"Auntie, I've got something!"
Qiu Rong'er has not yet been seen, but the voice has already come in.
Jiao Niang turned to look at Qiu Rong'er, who was in a hurry, and said leisurely: "It seems that the poison that this child is heavy on is really slight, and it seems that there is no need for snow wattle grass at all." I'll just dry it and keep it for later, when I need it......"
"Really, really, really? So, Squeak is already fine!? When Qiu Rong'er heard this, she was excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the squeak's situation.
"Head, my head, why does it hurt so much......" Suddenly, Leng Chitong lay on the bed and pressed his temples, only to feel that his head was aching, and he was babbling in a daze.
"Hitomi, you're awake!"
Jiao Niang saw Leng Chitong wake up so quickly, although it was unbelievable that his body's recovery ability was so strong, she was still overjoyed.
Seeing this, Qiu Rong'er also hurried over, chattering noisily.
"You girl, you're too noisy! Don't you see I'm having a headache! Leng Chitong closed his eyes, frowned, and complained again and again.
"You stinky boy, you'll make trouble with me as soon as you wake up!" Qiu Rong'er glanced at her cold red eyes.
But Jiao Niang really didn't have a problem with this pair of enemies, silently watching the cute appearance of the two arguing, shaking her head happily, I just felt that I liked the cheerful atmosphere now, it was very lively and made people feel happy.
And Squeak, who was lying next to Leng Chitong, had also been woken up by the two.
It's just that she still refuses to open her eyes, rolling her eyes, deliberately holding back her bad eyes, wanting to see how Leng Chitong will be nervous about herself.
"That's right, squeak!" Leng Chitong immediately remembered that after she carried Squeak out of that strange place before, she was still unconscious, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Unexpectedly, he turned around and accidentally hit his hand on Squeak's abdomen.
"Poof!"
Squeak suffered a lot of pain now, and I couldn't hold back it, and I sprayed directly with cold red pupils full of saliva on my face.
"Master!"
Squeak shouted, clearly whining.
"I'm sorry, I really blame me for this, and it hurt......s" Leng Chitong looked at the squeaky and aggrieved expression, and quickly put on a flattering expression.
The gloating Qiu Rong'er watched happily from the sidelines, grinning very happily.
"No, squeak, did you wake up early!" Leng Chitong suddenly felt that something was wrong, and reacted suddenly.
Squeaky blinked his eyes and stuck out his tongue mischievously, neither admitting nor denying it.
"Well, you little one, you've learned to trick me now! The courage is getting bigger! Leng Chitong stared at the squeak angrily.
"Well done, him off!"
Qiu Rong'er secretly gave a thumbs up to Squeak and whispered in her ear.
The two female compatriots who shared the same hatred looked at the cold red pupils jumping up and down with strange eyes, and the two pairs of eyes were happily squeezed into two thin lines.
"By the way, what the hell happened to you two before! Why did it take so long to come back, and you were still covered in blood? ”
Jiao Niang suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago, and she was still afraid, so she couldn't help but ask for details.
As soon as Leng Chitong thought of the events of that day, his expression instantly became wrong.
"Madam, you don't know the situation that day......" Squeak recalled his situation at the time and still couldn't help but stand upside down, originally wanted to tell the truth, but saw Leng Chitong on the side secretly squeezing her eyebrows, quickly reacted, and stopped talking in time.
Leng Chitongda was not ready to tell Jiao Niang what happened that day from the beginning, because he was afraid that she would be worried, and he didn't think to tell Qiu Rong'er, because he was afraid that she would talk too much.
"Let's let him say it......" squeaked and pointed to the cold red pupil beside him.
Leng Chitong saw that a few people suddenly looked at him intently, and after smirking twice, he improvised a lively nonsense.
"Actually, it wasn't much that day, but when we went there we found a big beast, it looked a little strange, I've never seen such a big beast......"
If you want to say that Leng Chitong's ability to blow nonsense is a must, he was stunned to say a fictional thing, and he didn't make Jiao Niang and them suspicious at all.
"Tong'er, my mother knows that you insisted on killing that beast at that time in order to remove the hidden danger for the Leng Villa and keep it safe, but don't be strong in the future, okay? Mother really can't lose you anymore......" Jiao Niang's eyes were full of worry and looked at Leng Chitong.
After listening to Jiao Niang's words, Leng Chitong felt a kind of helplessness in her heart, and she didn't speak, but nodded lightly.
He couldn't make a promise to his mother, because after what he had experienced that day, he was almost certain that he was indeed the devil of the world.
At that moment, he decided to secretly self-destruct himself before he fell into the demon completely.
Because, there are people in this world that he cherishes, and he absolutely cannot tolerate himself becoming a threat to their survival.
Squeaky looked at the strange emotions that suddenly appeared in Leng Chitong's eyes, and always felt that something big must have happened after he fell unconscious.
"Knock knock!"
There was a brisk knock on the door.
Several people in the room fell silent all of a sudden.
"Dare to ask a few guest officers if they are ready to leave here today? Let me ask you, if you want to stay overnight, you will need to pay more silver beads......"
A polite voice of a young man sounded at the door.
It turned out that the innkeeper sent someone to collect debts, and it was estimated that he was a little relieved to see that they looked like they had no money.
As soon as the man outside the door finished speaking, several people in the room immediately understood.
This insignificant silver bead brought by Jiao Niang had already been spent after paying for the inn's room, buying the items to bandage Squeak's wounds, and buying a set of clothes for Leng Chitong and Squeak.
Jiao Niang looked helplessly at the empty purse in her hand, and looked up at Qiu Rong'er and the others in embarrassment.
In desperation, several people had to leave the inn in disgrace.
Leng Chitong looked at the lively streets where people came and went, and for a while he didn't know where he should go now, and suddenly he had a feeling of being on the streets and not knowing where to go.
"Mother, it's useless for me, I don't even ......have a place to give you a place to stay," he said, and his heart became inexplicably sour again.
