When Lin Zhiruo returned to Dali Temple, it was three days after she found the den, she thought that she had already helped the two of them find the den, even if she was benevolent, but she vaguely felt that these thieves could not do nothing after stealing so many children, and she had to go to see those children in person to make sure that they were okay before she could rest assured.

As soon as she entered the door of the Mirror Pavilion, she saw the two of them, which she didn't expect, and she was taken aback, but she still walked in calmly on the surface, and directly ignored Qin Zimo and greeted Qin Ziyu with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how is the prince's case handled?" ”

"Su Ruo, I'm having a tricky problem, I can't find you, it's great that you're here!"

Qin Ziyu stepped forward and took Lin Zhiruo's hand directly, "Come with me to see those children, they seem to be very wrong......

"Okay, let's go."

Qin Zimo watched the two leave, his cold eyes gloomy with loss. The two of them dared to be so intimate in front of him, clearly telling him blatantly that they had ......

Lin Zhiruo, she is really shameless, she really dares to hook up with Qin Ziyu? Do you think he can't do anything about her? Well, it seems that she really has to give her a dose of fierce medicine, otherwise she will forget whose woman she really is.

Qin Ziyu took Lin Zhiruo to the small courtyard where the abducted children were secretly housed, and Qin Zimo followed.

"These children have been abducted for too long, some have forgotten their names, only a few have just been abducted and still remember their family history, I wanted to summon their parents to take them away, but I found that they are all abnormal, I can't make up my mind for a while, so I have to wait for you to come."

"It seems that I misunderstood your business, let's see the child first."

Lin Zhiruo originally thought that with so many children together, there would be children's laughter as soon as she entered the yard, but it was not at all as she expected, there was no trace of any child in the yard.

"What about the kids? Didn't say there were dozens? Lin Zhiruo raised her eyebrows, full of doubts.

"They were very vigilant, they were always on guard against us, they even used coercion to get them out of the den, and when they got to this courtyard they were crammed into a room and refused to come out, refusing to even eat food, and only when they were so hungry that they could not stand it that they would eat a little when there was no one to watch......"

While talking, the three of them came to a room with a closed door, and Qin Ziyu raised his hand and pointed to the door, signaling that the children were all in the house.

Lin Zhiruo pushed open the door and really saw dozens of children in the house, like a group of insects lurking in the dark, and when they saw the light, they all huddled together, for fear that outsiders would forcibly take one of them away.

"Being locked underground by this gang of thieves for a long time will inevitably be depressed and more timid and cautious, but fortunately, their physical condition does not look very bad."

Lin Zhiruo stepped forward, and when those children saw her, they retreated, and a few of them even had hostility in their eyes, and they had the intention of attacking her.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiruo had no choice but to stop and said to the eldest of them, who was about eight years old: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you to go home to see your parents, can you understand my words?" ”

The eldest child should not have been away from home for too long, although he didn't fully trust Lin Zhiruo, he could understand Lin Zhiruo's words, and looked at her suspiciously: "You liar, we have been locked up here for three days, and I haven't seen my father and mother yet......"

"His name is Huang Lei, and he is the son of Hubu Shangshu." Qin Ziyu reminded her next to Lin Zhiruo.

"Your name is Huang Lei, and you are the son of Lord Huang of the Hubu Shangshu?" Lin Zhiruo looked at him, and then said, "As long as you can make these children believe in me and do what I say, I will bring your father and mother to meet you." ”

Huang Lei stared at Lin Zhiruo vigilantly, still unable to believe her, "I don't believe what you say, unless you let me see my father and mother......"

"You answer me truthfully first, and if you answer well, I will immediately send someone to find your father."

“…… Are you sure? Huang Lei hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.

Lin Zhiruo knew that the child had agreed to compromise and did not waste time, so she asked him directly: "How did you get kidnapped, and do you remember what happened before you left home?" ”

Of course, Huang Lei remembered the events of that day, "I was thinking about the wall in the study, and suddenly I heard a strange sound outside the window, and then I saw a small snake crawling out of the windowsill......"

Lin Zhiruo listened to Huang Lei's memories and roughly confirmed the previous conjecture, these murderers relied on driving poison into the house to poison, and then took advantage of the caretaker's inattention to stun the child, hid it in a corner of the house, and then took the child to escape from the house through the secret passage when the whole house was in chaos.

"What did you see and hear in the kidnappers' den?" Lin Zhiruo then asked.

This time, Huang Lei directly shook his head with a blank face, "Every time I wake up, they give me a little disgusting-looking food and forcibly ask me to eat it, and after eating, I fall asleep and don't know anything." ”

"Can you tell what you're eating? If not, tell me what it is like and what it tastes like. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Lei's face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if he remembered a hellish experience that could not be looked back on.

"It's bitter, it's fishy, it's raw...... It's too dark to see inside, but it's like a dead bug......"

Hearing Huang Lei's words, Qin Ziyu on the side frowned, "Giving children such food, these kidnappers are really inhumane and outrageous!" ”

Qin Zimo listened to him silently as he continued, his eyes revealing a little complicated.

After Lin Zhiruo heard Huang Lei's words, the doubts in her heart became more and more intense, and then she asked: "Everyone eats the same thing?" ”

Huang Lei shook his head in embarrassment, "We don't talk or communicate on weekdays, and most of them fall asleep after taking medicine, so I don't know if they eat the same ......."

"In the past three days, you haven't had any communication?"

"The little ones can't speak, and those who can talk are so frightened by the kidnappers that they don't even dare to cry, and it's even more impossible to speak."

Lin Zhiruo nodded, thinking about something, and finally she said: "I'm a doctor, come and let me take the pulse for you, if your body is fine, the prince will send someone to notify Lord Huang to take you home." ”

"Can't go! They lie! ”

"You used to die!"

Huang Lei bypassed the children, but was hugged tightly by a few of them, and then Lin Zhiruo realized that there were still a few who could talk.

"I don't have to lie to you, it won't do me any good. If you don't believe me, then I don't care about this idle business, and you don't want to go home and stay here. ”

Lin Zhiruo turned around and walked out of the door without hesitation.

"Zhiruo, you ......"

Qin Ziyu chased out the door, but Lin Zhiruo gave a look and signaled not to speak, she said: "They were frightened by the kidnappers, and their vigilance was too heavy, so I had to find another way." ”
