Chapter 4 Arrested
"This Linzhou City is really a big city, and there are even more little beggars than in other places. ”
"Yes, immortal, my two brothers have now caught enough of ninety-nine children under the age of ten, do you see if our old mother is ......?"
"Hey, what's the hurry, send the newly captured dozen or so to the cave first. ”
......
Tao Zi woke up in a daze and found that his eyes were blindfolded, and his hands and feet were also tied.
In my ears were the sound of children's cries and the turning of cars.
Is this caught?
Is this a human trafficker or what? I blame myself for being too careless, from Liuxian Town to Linzhou City, I met most of the simple and kind villagers along the way, and I relaxed my vigilance, and I didn't care much about it when I felt something was wrong yesterday.
No matter how depressed I feel in my heart, I still can't change the direction of the wheel.
I don't know how long it has been traveling, but just when Tao Zi's eyes were full of hungry stars and his body was empty, the carriage finally stopped.
The blindfolded cloth strip was removed, and Tao Zi was pierced by the strong light and couldn't open his eyes, and it took a long time to get used to it.
Like her, there are more than a dozen children, each of whom is ragged and beggar-like, Tao Zi is dressed in green clothes, which is not too dirty, but it is particularly conspicuous.
"Tsk, is there such a well-dressed person? Tu Da, this kid is like this?" A person dressed as a gray-robed Taoist priest, seeing Tao Zi's clothes, was afraid of causing trouble, and wanted to step forward and take Tao Zi out.
He caught children, but he only dared to find some beggars or orphans who had no parents and no eyes, because in the secular world, there are also Jindan real people who take turns to sit in charge, and this Dongyue Kingdom is said to be the Jinyu real person of Tianshu Palace. Therefore, he did not dare to arrest civilians with family backgrounds, or even those with good parents, relatives and friends, because once he attracted the attention of the government and then attracted the attention of the Jindan Zhenren in the town, it would be very troublesome.
Tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and he could only wait for him to return to the Jindan realm so that he didn't have to hide like this.
He took three or two steps in front of Tao Zi and took her out. It didn't matter if he took it out, he walked in and saw the pustule on Tao Zi's face.
"Tsk, this look, is it a natural poison? The poison woman is not there, otherwise she can give her a personal favor. As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his waist and slashed it at Tao Zi's wrist, and blood flowed out immediately.
"Well, that's right, that's the taste, it's delicious!" the gray-robed Taoist priest took a drunken breath, and then sucked it up at the bleeding arm. It tasted so delicious, even if he had sucked the blood of an unknown number of children, there were no one or two that could match it, and no matter what her background was, he didn't plan to let her go.
"Back... Back to the immortals, this child stayed alone in the inn, not accompanied by others, and my brothers had noticed that she was also in tattered clothes before entering the inn, afraid that she was a little beggar who had picked up money or stole money. That's why I caught her. Originally, he and his younger brother didn't want to arrest Tao Zi, but there was only one short of the ninety-nine children required by the immortals, and their mother had been taken hostage by this immortal for almost three months, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, so they were really worried, so they had to arrest Tao Zi to make up the numbers.
Tao Zi, who was holding her arm, was entangled with various emotions of fear, disgust, resentment, and powerlessness, and she struggled hard, but it was completely useless.
"Demon Dao, let her go!" among the other children, suddenly a thin child shouted.
Tao Zixun also looked over, and it turned out to be the little beggar he met in the West Market that day, Si Yi.
"I am the seventh prince of Xi Chongguo, I order you to let her go!" Si Yi stepped forward.
The gray-robed Taoist priest licked Tao Zi's arm again, this time planning to face up to this little beggar who "acted bravely".
"Yo, today is a long experience, a little beggar dares to say that it is a prince, but even if it is a prince, what about it? Since he came, he is an old man!"
"Tu Da Tu Er, put the five of them in a room, lock them up, and take a blood food from the T-shaped room for me. "I sucked that kid's blood just now, and suddenly I felt that the bottleneck in my body seemed to be a little loose, could it be that I had some bloodline talent?
........................
Brother Tu didn't dare to disobey the Taoist priest's order, so he dutifully locked up the dozen or so children and five of them.
Tao Zi happened to be in the same room as Si Yi.
"Thank you! My name is Tao Zi. In any case, she thought she should say thank you to the child. In times of crisis, if she can stand up, she may not be able to do it.
"It was a blessing from yesterday, and it didn't help much. Si Yi swept Tao Zi's eyes, and the first time he saw her, he felt that her eyes were very clear.
There was a noise outside the cell, and it turned out that Tu Da and the two had brought food.
One person, one steamed bun and one bowl of cold water, no one disliked it, and they all cherished it.
After eating and drinking, everyone regained some strength. Tao Zi also had the strength to look around.
It was a cave at the bottom of the mountain, which should be a hundred square meters, and was divided into two rows with a total of six cells, and two torches were lit in the passage in the middle of the two rows, and the two sides were winding on each side, and the edge could not be seen. There were three children in Tao Zi's room, two of them looked like they should be about ten years old, and the remaining girl seemed to be hungry, and the food she had just sent was untouched on the ground.
Tao Zi stepped forward to help her up and feed her water. Half a bowl of water went down, the girl finally woke up leisurely, and before she could speak, she saw the steamed buns in the broken bowl on the ground and pounced on them, and after a while, the steamed buns and the remaining half of the bowl of water entered her stomach.
The girl's name is Zhang Yingying, originally a villager in nearby Sanshui Village, half a month ago, the only grandmother who loved her in the family died, she lived in the same village uncle's house, the result must have been doing a lot of work, but not enough to eat, the last time she was beaten and scolded by her aunt, she was wronged, and ran to the woods at the edge of the village at once, and as a result, she smelled a sweet fragrance, and then woke up in the carriage. In addition, I didn't have enough food at my aunt's house, so I was already hungry and faint in the last few days in the carriage.
The other two, like Si Yi, are little beggars in Linzhou City.
The five of them had just come in, although they were thin and weak, but they could still see the human appearance, but the children in the three cells of A, B and C on the opposite side were almost only skinny and bones, and the two new cells on the same side still came from crying from time to time, but the cells on the opposite side were quiet and terrible, and the steamed buns and water sent were almost untouched.
If you don't see the person opposite's chest still rising and falling, you suspect that the person is no longer there.
Tao Zi felt uncomfortable when she saw it, she had to find a way to escape!
........................
Yueyang, the capital of Dongyue, is quiet in the Water Purification Palace. Guo Qi woke up from his meditation.
"Qi Zhen Zhen, Your Majesty is invited. "The attendant who came to deliver the message bowed down.
"Do you know what's going on?" Guo Qi's voice was strong, but it didn't give people a sense of oppression.
"Back to the real person, Linzhou City in my country sent another report, dozens of children in the city and surrounding villages and towns are missing, and the local government has verified it in many ways, but there is no clue. I want to come to Your Majesty to invite, most likely because of this matter. "There will be a Jindan real person on duty every ten years in the Yue Kingdom, although this Guo Zhenren has a loud voice, his temper is indeed much better than the previous one.
But no matter how good his temper is, he is also a real Jindan person. He didn't dare to hide it, so he said 1510.
"Well, I already know about this, and I'll leave for Linzhou City tomorrow. Your Majesty, please help me to worry, I still have some things to deal with. Guo Qi sent the chamberlain away, and called the chief steward of the Pure Water Palace to tell him not to mention it.
