Under the lead of the Lord Dog, the three of them quickly found a good hiding place. Behind the tall Buddha statue, it was dry and spacious, and the four of them could hide inside without getting crowded. Most importantly, he was behind the Buddha statue. If he didn't search carefully, he wouldn't have discovered that there were a few children hiding behind it.

"You're really amazing, you even know this place."

There was a thick layer of leaves on the ground. One could tell that they had been prepared beforehand. Sitting on top of the leaves, she didn't feel the slightest bit cold. After settling up Min'er and Situ Xi, she generously praised the dog grandpa.

It had to be said, this person truly had limitless potential.

Just look at this little beggar who claimed to be Lord Dog, if he was in a normal situation he would not even look at them, he would not have expected them to have their own laws of survival.

It was no wonder that even though everyone in Jincheng City had started searching for the person they were looking for, there were still so many beggars sneaking around.

If they were hiding here, even the bailiffs would not come for them.

"Of course! "Hmph, there are people in Jincheng that this grandpa doesn't know about?"

After all, he was still young. With a few pleasing words, the little guy started to become complacent, "I've already told you. As long as you obediently follow me, I'll let you have your fill."

For a youth, eating one's fill was an extremely difficult task. He had grown up in a beggar's nest since he was young, and eating his fill and getting dressed was something he had high hopes for. Thus, to him, this sort of promise was the best, which was why he kept emphasizing it.

If that were the case, then not to mention Situ Xi, who had lived a life of luxury since she was young, even Nona and Min'er would only be listening.

"Alright, alright, we'll listen to you. Is that enough?"

Nona was an adult herself, so when it came to a child like Lord Dog, she only lightly smiled and no longer argued with him.

Of course, it was impossible for him to cover them up or something like that. In addition, they had already prepared a lot of food, and the reason why they followed him was because they wanted to take the opportunity to see if there was any insurance to get out of the Magnificent Brocade City.

"Hmph, it's good that you know this. Looking at the entire Jincheng City …"

"Shh, someone's coming!"

He was very happy to be praised as a dog lord. He wanted to continue but was stopped by Nona. Nona covered his mouth and whispered in his ear.

Situ Xi and Min'er also discovered this, and they immediately held their breaths.

He saw a group of people slowly walking towards him from a distance. The person leading them was a year-round woman dressed in gorgeous clothing. The servants behind her carried boxes of food in their hands, which clearly weighed quite a lot. The group of people all walked towards them in a grandiose manner, with at least a dozen of them.

"This is my savior. Be careful, you won't be discovered."

It had been many days since he had had a full meal, and his stomach was growling as he looked at the boxes of food. However, this was not the time to let anyone find out; if they did, they would definitely chase them out.

"En!"

Following Master Doggie's instructions, Jiu Niang and the others were already sitting up straight. Even their breathing had slowed down.

Even Min'er, who didn't understand why they wanted to hide, understood. Although they had food on them, it was still very attractive to look at the large boxes of food.

"Alright, you guys, quickly clean up."

Looking at the dirty and dilapidated temple, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Madam Lin's eyes. She held onto a silk cloth and covered her nose as she urged the servants to clean up. "Seriously, after so many years …" "I really don't know what he's thinking …"

The servants were already prepared. They quickly began to clean up.

Looking at the dust flying in the air, Madam Lin backed off in disgust, afraid that her body would be stained with it.

"Madam, please rest here."

The serving maid had long prepared a chair for her and even laid down a cushion woven from brocade with care.

Madam Lin glanced at them and nodded her head in satisfaction. "Mn, alright. You don't need to serve them. Hurry up and clean up with them. Return as soon as possible after you're done." I still have a lot of things to do! "

With a wave of her hand, Madam Lin signaled for the maidservants to clean up. He didn't want to stay in this place for even a minute longer. He really didn't know what that old man was thinking. Even after so many years, he still came to pay his respects. As for him, what he wanted to do was just to say it out loud …

"Damn old thing!" Hmph, just wait … Waiting... I'll definitely teach you a lesson! "

This sort of place was remote and dirty, and he had to come here every year. Every time he expressed his dissatisfaction, he would always cause trouble for himself. Thinking of this, Madam Lin felt a surge of anger.

However … With a quick thought, he... Soon, she …

Isn't it going to be windy and rainy when the time comes?

"Old thing, let's see how you're going to deal with me then!"

A pleased look flashed in Madam Lin's eyes. Her face was full of fat and flesh, and she was in a good mood. She felt that she wasn't as upset as before when she looked at the messy and dilapidated temple.

She wasn't too sure about what had happened that year, but she had heard that old thing mention it a few times, but every time she had to ask him in detail, he would deliberately move away. So after all these years, she still didn't know why he would come here every year at this time to pay his respects.

However, all of these were not important. He would soon be able to leave this place.

At that time, with the appreciation of his father-in-law, a mere Lin Family … She didn't think much of it …

"Old thing, you must not have thought of this!"

Although that old thing didn't care about the mother and son, she didn't dare to tell him that she captured that young man. If he knew that he was going to give that young man to someone above, he definitely wouldn't allow it. She had seen through him for so many years, and this kind of person was scared and timid at the same time.

Difficult to achieve greatness.

"Alright, hurry up and leave this to me. I still have things to do!" There's no time to waste here! "

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Although that youth had been hidden well, it wouldn't be good if that old thing found out, so he had to return as soon as possible.

Originally, she had thought of a way to get him out two days ago, but … However, the atmosphere in the city had been quite strange lately. The number of guards at the city gate alone was more than double the usual number. It was simply a pipe dream to secretly send a living person out.

So these two days she had been very anxious, but on the surface she had to pretend that nothing had happened.

"Yes!" "Yes!"

This matter was very covert, and only the few people beside her knew of it. The maidservants did not know of it, but they felt that Madam Lin's temper had gotten worse in the past few days. They did not dare to easily offend her, fearing that she might accidentally get into trouble. Thus, when they heard her urging them on, they all sped up …

The temple was not big, and more than half of it had collapsed. What they had to clean up was just a small area in front of the Buddha statue. The so-called cleaning was just like asking the dead leaves on the altar and the dead branches on the ground to be taken care of. A dozen or so servants quickly cleaned it up.

Although Madam Lin was unhappy with the fact that they had to come here every year to pay respects, she did not dare to slack off in the slightest. She had prepared all the ingredients required for three lifetimes of service, and this was not the first time these maidservants had come here.

"Madam, everything is ready."

After all the items had been arranged neatly, the young maid then stepped forward to invite Madam Lin.

Madam Lin took a glance at them and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, she nodded her head and said, "Open them all."

With her permission, the maidservants began opening the boxes one by one. The air was suddenly filled with the faint aroma of food.

The scent of Jiu Niang and the rest, who were hiding behind the Buddha statue, spread to their noses very quickly, and they were only one or two meters away from the food. Immediately …

"Gulp …"

A muffled sound echoed.

Suddenly, the four of them were startled. They looked at each other.

In the end, everyone's gaze gathered on Master Dog. Master Dog waved his hands in panic, "I, I … "I didn't mean to …"

It was a good thing that his face was covered in filth. Otherwise, he would have flushed red in embarrassment.

But he really didn't do it on purpose, he really didn't think that such a thing would happen. However … But she was really too hungry … He hadn't eaten his fill since he started to clean up the outsiders in Jinshan City. If it wasn't for the sake of being a bit more generous, he would've eaten the steamed buns last night for a month …

"Shh!"

With this explanation, the commotion became even more intense. Jiu Niang wore a dark expression as she signaled for him to be quiet.

Suddenly …

Lord Dog was like a deflated balloon. His shoulders were drooping while his head was drooping feebly.

All four of them felt their hearts hanging high in their chests, deeply afraid that they would be discovered by the people outside …

Fortunately, no one moved after waiting for a long time. After confirming that no one had noticed, the four of them heaved a sigh of relief. They then continued to hold their breath and carefully observe the outside.

"Alright, I've brought the things as well. I don't care what grudges there are between you two, just eat what you deserve! I'm afraid if I eat it this year, it will be gone next year. " Only after the maidservants had arranged everything did Madam Lin unwillingly stand up, walk to the Buddha statue and bid her farewells, before softly muttering to herself.

As if she didn't want the maidservants by her side to hear her, her voice was suppressed.

However, Jiu Niang and the rest behind the Buddha statue still understood clearly.

"That damnable old thing, he doesn't know how to grow land on the outside and he actually wants me to pay him back!" Hmph, let's wait and see … Damn old thing... I'll definitely make you look good … "

Madam Lin had been unhappy with her husband for a long time. As time passed, her discontent deepened.

Originally, she was just a poor girl who relied on her husband for everything. That was why she was able to bear with it so much these past few years. However, the heavens really did have eyes, allowing her to wait for him …

"Alright, since the worship ceremony is over, we should …"

All of this was just an interlude to Madam Lin. She had been tired of coming here every year for the past few years. Since she had already finished her interlude, she naturally didn't want to stay any longer. However, she didn't even have the time to finish speaking …
