The sound of the whistle was different from before. It was not in vain for three hundred years, and a method of whistle reporting was formed.
The whistle sounded again, a long sound followed by a tactful sound. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The person who came was not in danger.
After a while, the guard came to report that someone was coming to claim his child.
What's going on? This is something that hasn't happened in previous episodes.
Seeing the Tianpuppet Sect's shop open in the town, with many disabled clerks in the shop, reminded the couple of their disabled daughter who had been abandoned in front of the mountain. After discussing it, we planned to go to the Tianpuppet Sect to claim it back.
Xining asked: "When did you throw it away?"
The guard replied: "Fourteen years ago."
The puppet spirit sneered: "I don't know who they are recognizing. It's really shameless. The child is already fifteen years old and can go on a blind date. No matter what, the bride price is indispensable. Do they miss the child or the bride price?" "
Soon after, Puppet Ying ran down and said angrily to the couple who came to ask for a child: "Why did it take fourteen years for me to think about getting one? What were you doing in those early years?"
The couple were obviously wearing the best clothes at home. The clothes had deep fold marks and had been packed at the bottom of the box for a long time. The man nodded and bowed: "This girl, wasn't it because she was poor before? In the past two years, my family has accumulated some money, and life has gradually become better, so I want to take it back. Could you please help me find it for my poor daughter? I also know that her parents are here!"
The woman next to her kept looking up the mountain with uneasy eyes.
Puppet Ying was so angry that she ran down the mountain twice this morning. She had good legs and feet, so the errands naturally fell on her. So he spoke with the smell of dynamite: "If you want to find someone, that's fine. The money to find someone is only ten taels, but I'm not sure whether they can be found. After all, some of the children sent here have never even had a sip of milk, and most of them are weak. , many died young.”
"Ten taels?" The couple was startled.
Puppet Ying sneered: "Why, you don't think it's worth it? Tell you, after accepting your money, I will definitely help you find her. If you can't find it, I will bring all the girls of the right age in the entire village to you."
The couple looked at each other, and the man gritted his teeth: "Okay, ten taels is ten taels!"
As long as the person is found, a living person is still worth the money.
The corner of Puppet Ying's mouth curled up: "If you want to take it away after you find it, it will be five hundred taels!"
"What?" The woman jumped up and went crazy on the spot: "Why don't you go and grab it?"
To buy a maid, no matter how good she looks, is only one or two hundred taels of silver. Ordinary families only have fifty or one hundred taels in betrothal gifts. This Celestial Puppet Sect asks for five hundred taels as soon as he opens his mouth. Does he really think he is raising a golden phoenix?
"Tch!" Puppet Ying's greatest skill is her sharp tongue, and she spares no effort to explain the truth. In fact, she is sarcastic: "This sect is a demon sect, not a bandit; it only uses poison on people with ill intentions, leaving them with guts torn apart. Never steal money or plunder. You were willing to leave your daughter here at that time, just to throw the trouble on us. This is the Tianpuppet Sect, not a charity. People can throw it here, and when they are raised, they can take it away if they want. Since If your life is better, then you can contribute the money. Of course, I am not unreasonable. If your daughter is found and willing to go with you, two hundred taels, no less!"
Not to mention the devil's sect, even if the adopted people are ordinary people, the adoptive parents have the final say. Even if you sue the government, they are the ones who threw you away and were raised by others. Naturally, you will be treated as much as others say.
The woman immediately sat on the ground and cried: "My poor daughter, will she never see her mother again in this life?"
"Okay!" Puppet Ying shouted angrily, forcing the woman's voice back in fear.
Puppet Ying was very angry: "When you threw it away, why didn't you think that the child would have to live without his mother? Now it's really pitiful. Here we have food, drink, clothes and people to take care of us. How can we be so pitiful? I was also thrown away by my parents. , I really don’t feel pitiful, but I feel lucky that I was thrown into the Heavenly Puppet Sect by my irresponsible parents. Let me tell you, five hundred taels of silver, not a penny less!"
The guard next to him smiled sinisterly: "Auntie, please get up. There are many poisonous insects in this mountain. If you sit on the ground, you will be bitten to death or injured. It is fate. This sect will not be responsible. If you still don't leave, If you are really bitten by then, I will also notify your family to collect the body. If no one collects the body, our sect will be merciful and will hang you on the stone pillars on both sides to keep you company. Your daughter can also come down if she is free. Look at you, burn a stick of incense."
The two men looked left and right at the stone pillar, where two skeletons hung on it. The frightened woman immediately got up and looked at the ground to see if there were any poisonous insects.
The man came up with an excuse: "How about we go back and collect some money first?"
"Okay!" The woman nodded fiercely, her face turned pale with fright.
"Then let's take a step first, and we'll come back again." The two people walked quickly, trotting along without looking back.
Puppet Eagle put her hands on her waist, smiled at the back of the couple and shouted: "It doesn't matter, just collect enough money and come back!"
After Puppet Ying went back, she explained the situation in a more embellished way. Xi Ning sighed slightly. He was really a good person but was bullied. Knowing that the Heavenly Puppet Sect did good things, he came over and wanted to take back his abandoned daughter in exchange for money.
She thought for a while and then praised: "Well done, go tell the people at the foot of the mountain and let them say the same thing if you encounter this kind of thing in the future. Five hundred taels for those wearing cloth, five thousand taels for those wearing silk and satin."
"Yes, leader!" The puppet was praised happily. Think about it, the leader is really powerful, and he will be even more powerful if he encounters a rich man, asking for five thousand taels. It’s really like robbing!
I saw the leader stood up, slowly walked to the window, and looked out. The tone was slightly heavy: "Even if it is small, the gift money is only one or two hundred taels. Only if the money is enough to make them feel distressed, they will be kind to the person they receive, and we can trust the person to them."
After Puppet Ying and the other maids looked at each other, they immediately saluted with admiration: "The leader is wise!"
The couple who came back from the mountain pass cried and complained that the puppets were evil. It cost ten taels of silver to find someone, but five hundred taels of silver to get their daughter back.
After hearing this, the people started talking a lot. Some Holy Mothers expressed their support for the couple, saying that the evil teachings of the gods prevented the family from being reunited. Some people are sensible. Since the child is thrown away and taken in by others, it belongs to others. If they had known about it today, why bother in the first place.
In the hotel opposite, Nangong Yiyun was having dinner with his senior brothers. They planned to go home after dinner, and happened to see this scene.
One of the disciples laughed: "The Puppet Cult really dared to raise a price today. A girl with a mutilated body actually asked for five hundred taels."
The other one smiled: "How else could you ask for the Nangong family's 10,000 taels of silver?"
Nangong Yiyun smiled bitterly, shook his head, and continued eating.
There is also a "Knock on the Door for Abandoned Baby" paper posted in one area of the Tianpuppet Sect's shop. The waiter inside heard the noise outside and the couple's loud cries of displeasure, and was very angry.
Just as he was about to go out to argue, he was stopped by Pou An: "What are you doing? Why are you joining in the fun? Do your own work. I'll send them away!"
