Chapter 302 There won’t be any gold, silver or treasures
Ma Yang sighed and was about to leave with his men. As the women were about to leave dejectedly, they heard a crisp voice from outside, "Wait!"
Upon hearing this, Mingyang immediately ran out, put his arm around Mingyue's shoulders, looked her up and down, and only felt relieved after making sure that she was not hurt at all.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Mingyue just told him that he had disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for the people around him, he wouldn't have bothered to save anyone.
Fortunately, she came back safe and sound. Mingyang was still frightened, so he kept holding Mingyue's little hand and refused to let go.
Mingyue also knew that she was in the wrong, and she had indeed sneaked away just now.
"Who are you? Okay, you are all little thieves. You like to run into other people's homes at such a young age. Whose family are you from? I will tell your parents one by one!" Liu Po Niang changed from her coquettish and charming look to a shrew in an instant. She pinched her waist and pointed at Mingyue and his group and cursed.
Many women spontaneously stood in front of the children. Although they didn't know where these children came from, it made Liu Po Niang unhappy, so they stood on the children's side.
"You Liu bitch, except for treating men, you're always scolding this or scolding that."
"You are putting such a big accusation on the children without any reason. Aren't you afraid of scaring them?"
"That's right, they are just children, they love to play and make noises. Why are you, an adult, so fierce and bothering with children..."
It turns out being a naughty kid and having adults protect you is so cool. It turns out I hate naughty kids, but I don’t hate being one myself. Mingyue thought.
"Sir!" Mingyue tugged at Ma Yang's trouser leg, "I have a major discovery!"
Ma Yang shuddered. "Oh, you're the little princess! You're embarrassing me by talking to me like that!" He quickly half-knelt on the ground, reaching Mingyue's height so that no one would think he was kneeling to her.
Mingyue pretended to be innocent, holding Ma Yang with one hand and pointing to a small house not far away with the other, "Sir, we found a huge treasure behind that!"
Mrs. Liu's face immediately turned bad. She picked up the broom at the foot of the wall and swung it at Mingyue. "You damned girl, it's bad enough that you broke into my house, but you're also causing trouble everywhere. I'll beat you to death! Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother!"
Her stick didn't hit Mingyue, but it hit Ma Yang's back hard. Then someone grabbed his arm.
Mingyue, who was protected in his arms, poked her head out from Ma Yang's shoulder and stared at Liu Po Niang with a cold look.
She had been struggling and shouting, but suddenly she became quiet and stood there in a daze...
The two men restraining her exchanged a puzzled glance, assuming she'd felt her struggle was futile and stopped. Their grip didn't weaken, but instead they focused even more, fearing the woman would escape.
This is an opportunity to make a contribution in front of the young princess and the eldest son!
Others didn't know why Mrs. Liu reacted, but Mingyang knew. He turned around in shock and looked at his expressionless sister. He rubbed his eyes and found that she had returned to her original appearance... He thought he had seen it wrong.
"Sir, come quickly!" A boy walked out of the hut. It was Xiaoyu who claimed that he had an excellent memory and would not get lost.
Everyone present looked at the boy who appeared out of nowhere in surprise. It was Mingyue who took the lead, holding Mingyang and Lord Ma's hands and running forward. Everyone woke up as if from a dream and followed behind.
"It's such a small room, what did you find?"
"Could it be some gold, silver or jewelry?" Someone rubbed his hands excitedly.
"No, no, no, I guess there's a body."
"Come on, I guess it's Mrs. Liu's lover."
Although these people lowered their voices, everyone heard their conversation and twitched their lips. As expected, the "gossips" had better imagination.
When Xiaoyu opened the door, a fishy smell hit her in the face. Mingyue was prepared and considerately took out two masks for Mingyang to wear on top of each other.
Ma Yang was still waiting, waiting for Mingyue to give him one, but the two of them passed him and walked straight in...
Ma Yang cursed himself inwardly for being wishful thinking and followed behind obediently, holding his breath.
"I didn't expect that such a small room could hold such a hidden gem."
"What? It's just a northern cellar. I've lived in the north before, and every family there has a cellar dug under their house to store vegetables and other things."
"Oh, so these kids, are they treating rotten vegetable leaves as treasures?"
"Who knows? It's quite novel. Let's follow and see."
But I didn't expect that the place was dark and I could faintly hear something crying.
They leaned against each other tightly, "Is there a ghost here..."
"This Liu Po Niang is really something. She does all this at home. No wonder she has to keep company with men every day..."
"Ah!" a woman suddenly screamed, "Something, something grabbed my ankle..."
"Help!"
"Ah ah ah"
"Don't arrest me, I'm a good person."
"God, the King of Hell, the Supreme Lord, and the Old Master Yue, I will return my daughter-in-law's golden hairpin to you as soon as I get back. I will never dare to do it again, never again..."
Suddenly the entire tunnel was filled with noisy cries for help and screams of fear.
"Tear" the flames lit up, and everyone opened their eyes cautiously, thinking that they would see some horrible scene, but unexpectedly... everyone was shocked beyond words.
There is a square space in front of me.
There was a toilet in each of the four corners, and the walls were filled with ragged children, boys and girls of all ages, dozens of them...
The women who were originally chattering had their eyes reddened unconsciously... If they didn't know what this was for, they would have lived so many years in vain.
Rushed over immediately to check on the children.
Choking back tears, he asked, "Whose children are you all?"
"Was he sold or kidnapped?"
“I don’t know how many days it has been closed.”
"Ah, my Lord, these children seem speechless."
Ma Yang immediately stepped forward and pulled up a random child. "I'm an officer from the Minzhou government office. I'm here to rescue you. Can you speak?"
The child shook his head, but then pointed to his throat, made a gesture like a cup, poured liquid into his throat, and then no sound came out.
Mingyue understood, "You mean, after you were captured, you were fed some kind of medicine that made you unable to speak?"
The children nodded one after another, and some even cried out loud.
