The two middle-aged men were sweating profusely as they nodded.
Their hearts were also bitter. They clearly knew that this matter wouldn't be so easy, but … But now that they were trapped, it wouldn't be easy for them to escape. Putting everything aside, they knew Madam Lin very well. It wasn't just one or two days since their brother had started working with her.
The most venomous woman in the world would only be a woman like her.
However, they didn't expect this woman to have such great ability this time, fawning on an elder who thought she was of high status.
However, this sort of thing naturally had nothing to do with them. They were only there to help keep an eye on the person and not to let him escape.
In this day and age, who dares to go against the silver?
Besides, she was just a blind teenager. Even if he ran, she would not be able to run away.
To them, this was like a pie falling from the sky. Naturally, they agreed without any hesitation.
However, they had never expected things to turn out like this.
"Madam, rest assured, we will do whatever you tell us to do."
"From now on, we brothers will follow Madam."
As matters stood, the brothers had nowhere to go. Although they had successfully brought the young man out, they had also knocked out Lord Lin. Furthermore, at that time, they had bumped into Old Master Lin. If they had met face to face, Old Master Lin would have surely seen them clearly.
The two brothers were merely guards invited by Master Lin, why would they suddenly appear in Madam Lin's room … This point alone was hard for the brothers to explain. Even if they went back, just this alone was enough for Lin Lao Yue to not let them off easily. Furthermore, they were aware of Madam Lin's plans. This matter was related to that powerful and influential elder above. It was said that the reason the Lin Family had been able to achieve its current status was all due to that elder … If the two brothers withdrew at this moment, it would just be ruining that Eunuch Wei's plans. If that Eunuch were to continue pursuing the matter, then perhaps …
As the saying goes, a wise man knows his place...
"Very good! You'd better remember what you said. "
These two men could be considered to have some ability. Initially, Master Lin had spent quite a bit of effort to invite these two brothers over. It was said that these brothers had both been to the battlefield when they were young, and their hands were stained with blood. Master Lin had originally wanted to find a few people that he could suppress and had entrusted him with a lot of connections in order to find these two brothers. She had also spent a lot of effort to get these two brothers to agree to help him.
However, she knew clearly in her heart that the reason these two brothers were willing to help her was because of the silver. He was willing to spend money on them, that was why they would place you at such a low price. If the day came when he ran out of money, they would naturally not listen to him. However, he did not expect that his misfortune would turn out to be a blessing in disguise and that he would not be at a disadvantage. Thinking of this, the corners of Madam Lin's mouth curled up into a faint smile: "Since that's the case, it's time for us to return."
"Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!"
The group of people majestically returned, just like when they first arrived.
However, his speed was much faster than before.
"Hu hu, I've finally left. I can finally eat now."
Behind the Buddha statue, the eyes of the Lord Dog was glowing with a green light. After the person left, he hurriedly jumped out and extended his hand towards the pig head in the middle. He then pulled the pig head over and took a bite without any hesitation, instantly filling his mouth with oil.
Following that, the three of them also came out. Although it was quite spacious in the back and because of the leaves, it wasn't too cold. But even after being stuck inside for such a long time, he still felt uncomfortable …
Although Situ Xi and Min'er weren't like old dogs that pounced on food, they still quickly grabbed what they wanted to eat and stuffed them into their mouths without the slightest hesitation.
In the past, Situ Xi had been through this kind of torture and had even chosen the best food and clothing. She had always wanted the best, and even when she was on the run, her bodyguards would still give him the best.
Following Nona later, although she didn't suffer any losses, she was still not like the guards who were carefully protecting her. Of course, he would give her whatever he had. It would be fine as long as he was full. but it's never been mean...
But this...
Looking at how he was continuously stuffing food into his mouth, although the speed was not slow, the way he ate was still pretty good.
Nona couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Even though he still hadn't figured out his identity, he definitely wasn't an ordinary person.
If his bodyguards were to see him in such a sorry state … Nona couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body. She wondered if those guys would really kill her if they found out …
However …
"Eh? Eat, why aren't you eating? Hurry up and eat, someone will come soon, and then you won't even be able to eat if you want to. "
As he ate, he did not forget to take some time out to take care of Nona and the others. He did look a bit like a big brother, to say nothing of the fact that he was.
Seeing that Situ Xi and Min'er weren't regretful at all as they ate, he couldn't help but feel relieved. But … But why hadn't Ninth Niang moved? Lord Dog couldn't help but frown …
Every year, the Lin Clan would come here to offer sacrifices to the Lin Clan. In the beginning, he was the only one who knew about this, and that was by chance, but as time went on, more and more people came to know about it. There were countless pairs of eyes watching the scene, waiting for the Lin Family to finish offering their sacrifices before rushing in.
Due to the fight over the food a few years ago, there had been bloodshed. Even now, his memories were still fresh, let alone this year.
This year's situation was special, and everyone's days were even worse than before. He didn't even need to think to know how many people would come to snatch it this year.
I heard that there was a calamity around here, and people in the city were having a hard time … In the past, the people in the city would usually not fight over it except for those who were having a tough time. Moreover, they were still children. This year's situation was really hard to say.
"Eat quickly, don't waste anymore time!"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that time was running out. As he ate, he quickly stuffed the food in his pocket. Knowing that the Lin Clan was about to offer their sacrifices to Zhang Xuan, he had already prepared a sack for them. With these items, he wouldn't have to worry about not having any food for a long period of time. Thinking of this, Lord Dog couldn't help but feel elated. If he wasn't so smart, he would have found a small path and brought them here. He would have hidden them here first and then the four of them …
"I'm leaving."
Nona stood there quietly, watching them eat. Situ Xi and Min'er's appetite wasn't big, and they were already full. Moreover, they hadn't prepared anything, so they could only stare as they ate. Seeing that they had eaten their fill, Jiu Niang said in a low voice before turning around to leave.
I don't care about them...
Until now, the words of the middle-aged woman and the two men were still lingering in her mind.
Although they lowered their voices, she could still hear them clearly due to the close proximity.
Especially the eunuch and the blind boy …
But what did it matter? Nona could not understand no matter how much she thought about it.
Suddenly …
"Damn it!"
His eyes lit up, and his mind suddenly opened up. Instantly, Nona's face darkened, her eyes full of anger. "Damn it, she actually …" To actually do such a heartless thing! "
Right, how could she have not thought that these people would be so vicious? Their intention was for the youth to be dedicated to the old eunuch.
If she was really just an eight or nine-year-old girl, perhaps she didn't even know what that meant … But...
Although she had never come into contact with people like eunuchs, she had seen many ancient costume dramas and novels in the past. No matter how dumb she was, she understood that giving the youth to the old eunuch would definitely not be a good thing.
Of course, the thing that worried her the most was — the blind youth!
She didn't see her brother when she met Gu Yu's family that day. These days, she had been wondering if her brother had met with an accident. If that was the case …
"No, no …"
Gu Jinyu's delicate and pretty face quickly appeared in his mind. Although he hadn't seen his brother for a long time, Nona still remembered his appearance very clearly. With how big brother looks, if … If it really did fall into the hands of that old eunuch …
Nona did not dare to imagine what would happen.
She could not help but quicken her steps as she thought and thought.
At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind, and that was that no matter what, she must catch up to that woman.
It didn't matter if the person she was talking about was her big brother, she still had to go and take a look …
Even if it was only a one in a million chance, she couldn't let that happen.
"Elder sister, elder sister …" "I …"
He was still a child after all. Even though he was a bit hungry, he would be full just by eating a little. Min'er obediently wiped the corner of her mouth and selected some delicious pastries. She was going to give them to Nona, but she didn't expect her to see her sister walking away so quickly. She started to worry. While shouting, he gave chase …
Situ Xi, who didn't know what was going on, was also stunned …
"This is …"
Situ Xi's brow creased. She looked suspiciously at Jiu Niang's back.
Situ Xi had always felt that Nona had a maturity that far surpassed her age. Ever since she met her, she had always been obedient to Chu Li no matter what happened.
I didn't expect that this time …
"Did something happen?"
He clearly knew how important that little girl was to her.
Even though he knew that this little girl wasn't related to her by blood, but she was always protecting her and taking care of her. Even if it was her own elder sister, she probably wouldn't be able to do such a thing.
Therefore, he could not think of any other possibility apart from what had happened.
"We're leaving, what about you?"
Thinking of this, Situ Xi no longer hesitated. Although she didn't know what had happened to her, since she was with them, there was no reason for her to fall behind. However, before he left, he still greeted the lord dog. This youth was completely different from everyone else he knew.
It should be said that if it wasn't for these accidents, he would never be able to come into contact with such a person in his entire life.
However, he did not dislike this dirty-looking youth. Instead, he somewhat liked him.
