Out of respect for Yancheng, Si Dao did not use a thousand paper cranes, but followed the trajectory of the thief's escape.

His strength far surpasses that of mortal martial artists, and his speed is not comparable to that of a teenager.

Rao is like this, he still finds it quite difficult to follow the thief boy. said to be a teenager, but in fact, if you look at it seriously, this is actually just a child. This child is very ghostly, and at some point he changes his clean outfit and walks swaggering down the street without any scruples. If it weren't for Si Dao's perception of people, he wouldn't have been able to spot him from the flow of people.

After all, it was a child, and after the thief got the silver, he bought a lot of snacks, rice noodles, and a roast chicken along the way. If it weren't for his small strength and limited burden, I'm afraid he would have to buy more things. In addition to food, the thief also went to the pharmacy to buy a few patches.

He walked on a remote path and was very familiar with Yancheng. Following behind him, if one is not careful, Si Dao will not be able to find him.

Si Dao followed very closely and carefully, all the way to the outside of Yancheng, and followed to a dilapidated courtyard. It seems to be a stronghold for thieves.

In the courtyard, in addition to the thief boy, there were seven or eight children. They are all orphans. Orphans in this world are not scarce. Si Dao's friend, Cheng Yang, is an orphan.

They were of different ages, from the older ones being teenagers to the younger ones being only five or six years old, and they knew each other well. When the thief returned with food, he distributed it to the other children as soon as he could. There seems to be a sick child in the broken house. The medicine that the thief bought was for the sick child.

Looking at the abundance of food, the group of children laughed, their eyes lit up, and while eating snacks, they lit a fire, filled a broken pot with water, and cooked rice noodles. The children are very skilled in their duties. Judging by their hunger, they hadn't eaten such a sumptuous dinner for a long time.

This is a very dilapidated courtyard, but it is also a warm little home for this group of children.

The teenagers were eating and bragging about what they were going to do in the future. The boy who stole the money seemed to be the head of the group. His ambition is the most grandiose.

He said that in the future, he would become a high immortal, traveling all over the world, and he would be happy. In addition to this, he has to eat a roast chicken every day.

Hearing this, Si Dao couldn't help but laugh - Xiu Zhenren doesn't like to eat roast chicken, and he doesn't like any mundane food.

However, of course, this group of teenagers could not have known this. When the thief boy said that he wanted to become an immortal and travel all over the world, most of the teenagers didn't care. But when the thief said that he had to eat a roast chicken every day, everyone looked at him with envy.

In the eyes of this group of children, if you can eat one roast chicken every day, it must be a very great person, and you will be very, very happy.

The small courtyard was full of laughter and laughter, until the priest stepped in.

The strange man suddenly appeared, and everyone subconsciously stepped back. The thief boy's face turned pale. When they saw this, they were afraid. Although they have a short vision, they have a good vision. When they saw the face of the thief boy, they understood that Si Dao was the master of the silver. All that they enjoyed now was purchased with the money of the priest.

The group of children was frightened, but they did not flinch, especially when they saw that there was only one person in the priesthood.

They copied the guys from all corners and looked at the priest in a defensive posture. At the same time, they look at each other, make eye contact, and discuss countermeasures.

Eventually, the thief boy stepped forward. He gestured, and the other children ran into the hut, leaving him alone in the courtyard.

The thief threw the unspent taels of silver to the ground and tried to keep it calm: "That's all left, the rest of the silver has been spent, and I can't pay you back." ”

He said so, but he was ready to fight to the death at any time. He stubbornly took the earthen spear in his hand, and stepped back step by step, to the door of the hut.

Si Dao didn't speak, and as soon as he beckoned, the young thief's spear came out of his hand and landed in Si Dao's hand. Such a magical scene happened that directly frightened the thief boy and the children peeking in the house. They have lost the courage to resist.

"I only have these things in the yard, and whatever you want, you can ...... Take them all. It's really not good, you kill ...... Kill me, don't embarrass my friend. The thief fell to his knees and begged for mercy. His voice trembled, and he was afraid. When it came to the word "death", he directly left tears. At the end of the day, he's just a kid.

The other teenagers in the room were just as scared and began to cry. They ran out of the house, hugged the thief, and wept.

"I don't want money, and I won't embarrass you. Si Dao explained. He spoke in a kind tone, not like a bad person.

Hearing Si Dao's words, everyone's eyes widened and they looked overwhelmed. Still, they were scared, scared of the priest.

"What's your name?" asked Si Dao.

"Ah Piao, I don't have a name, but I gave myself a nickname, called Ah Piao. The thief whispered.

"Ah Piao?" repeated.

"Well, it's like a fallen leaf drifting into a river, drifting into the distance. The thief explained.

Hearing this explanation, Si Dao felt a touch in his heart, and his attitude became more friendly. He said with kindness: "You make a living by stealing, and the people of Yancheng don't punish you?"

"We don't steal from locals, we only steal from outsiders. A child answered righteously. It's like stealing from outsiders is not stealing.

The priest has little interest in correcting the values of these children. In fact, it is very difficult for this group of children to survive if they do not steal.

"Is there anyone sick in the house?" asked Si Dao.

"It's Mao Mao, Mao Mao and Sister Xiao Ya were arrested before. We didn't think we could see Maomao. As a result, two days ago, we found Mao Mao again by the river. But Maomao's body is very weak and may be about to die. The thief explained.

When he finished speaking, everyone bowed their heads and fell silent.

"Let me see. Perhaps, I can heal Maomao. ”

Si Dao said this, but he did not immediately win the trust of the children. This group of children is very wary of outsiders.

The children looked at each other and made eye contact. Then, they got out of the way and let the priest come into the house to check Maomao.

Maomao is very young, only 7 years old, and she looks very cute. She lay on the bed, weak, without energy, just closed her eyes and unable to say a word.

Si Dao has broken through to the third layer of qi refining, not only has his spiritual power increased a lot, but his control over spiritual power has also been greatly improved. When the spiritual power swept across Mao Mao's body, Si Dao felt another spiritual power. This surprised him very much, and it was really incomprehensible, why would there be traces of spiritual power on the body of a mortal little girl?

The injuries were much more serious than expected. Maomao's vitality is about to dry up, and this is not something that Si Dao can cure. However, Si Dao still left a prescription. This is the secret recipe in the Hehuan classics. However, this secret recipe can only renew Maomao's life for half a month.

Seeing Si Dao's expression, everyone also knew the result. In fact, they have long known that Mao Mao is incurable. That's what all the doctors in Yancheng said.

"You just said that Mao Mao and Sister Xiaoya were arrested before. Do you know when and by whom?" asked Si Dao again.

"I was arrested half a month ago, but I don't know who caught it. At the time, we thought they were just going out to play, but we waited a long time and didn't see them come back. After that, we couldn't find them again. Until, a few days ago, we saw Mao Mao floating on the surface of the river. The thief Ah Piao recalled.

He said it over and over again, his eyes twinkling as if he were thinking about something.

When the child on the side saw this, he added affirmatively: "It must have been caught by someone from Chunshui Building." The last time I heard from the adults in the tavern that the homeless girls would be captured by the Spring Water Building. ”

"Chunfeng Building?"

"Yes, that's where many women are! I heard adults say that the most popular place for men to play is Genting and Chunfeng Tower. Another child replied.

"What does your little sister look like?"

"The eyes are big, the hair is long, the skin is white, and she is beautiful. A group of children chirped. But there was no useful information at all.

"Okay, you're waiting for me here. I'll go to the Spring Water Building to have a look. If you think of any other clues, I'll tell you when I come back. ”

Si Dao intervened in this matter, not only because he felt pitiful for this group of children, but also intuition told him that this matter might be related to the disappearance of Cheng Yang's sister. Otherwise, how could a little girl leave traces of spiritual power on her body. In addition, Mojing also said that the clue to Cheng Yang's sister's incident was "Shangqing". At this moment, isn't Si Dao in the territory of Datong Country under the jurisdiction of Shangqing?
