"Wanwan, you can go in here!"
Xu Ji looked at Xiang Zhihan with disbelieving eyes and stammered, "Xiao Bai is too smart, he is like a genius."
Jiang Buwan lowered his head and looked at the small hole leading to another world.
She didn't have to think about it to know that if she was discovered inside, she would be beaten to death as a little thief.
But she had to go in and take a look. Her aunt and uncle were trapped in the Prime Minister's Mansion and their whereabouts were unknown. How could she abandon them?
She looked at Xu Ji and had an idea in her mind.
She has been in the market all year round and has developed the ability to avoid people, but Xu Ji is different from her.
Although Xu Ji's biological parents also died, he was soon adopted by his aunt and uncle.
It can be said that he has not suffered much.
And this trip is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will end up being killed.
"Cousin, wait for me here." Jiang Buwan said, "It's not easy for people from the prime minister's office to find me if I go in alone."
"I...Wanwan, I want to go with you."
Jiang Buwan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stay here and help me guard it."
"I.."
Jiang Buwan deliberately frightened him, "Cousin, this hole is very important."
"If something goes wrong, my aunt and uncle and I won't be able to get out."
"You must stay here and guard it."
"This is a very important task."
Xu Ji was still a child after all. When he heard what Jiang Buwan said, he immediately believed it.
He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely guard the cave wherever you are."
If time could go back again, Jiang Buwan would never say this, and she would keep Xu Ji away from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jiang Buwan got through the dog hole, and Xiang Zhihan has now become a cat. His sense of smell is very sensitive, even stronger than a dog's nose.
He sniffed the smell on the ground and discerned Butcher Xu's scent. He meowed softly, signaling Jiang Buwan to follow.
Jiang Buwan had Xiang Zhihan's help along the way and successfully avoided several waves of people coming and going.
The closer Xiang Zhihan got to Butcher Xu's position, the more worried he became. He knew that Butcher Xu was in serious danger.
He felt bitter in his heart. Although he was anxious to stay in the formation and not come out, at this moment, he would rather time slow down.
Why was God so cruel to her? She had not lived a comfortable life for a few days, and she was about to become a homeless child again.
Xiang Zhihan stopped and looked at the dilapidated courtyard ahead, which was right here.
Jiang Buwan looked at the small courtyard that appeared in front of them. It was hard to imagine that there was such a place in the magnificent Prime Minister's Mansion.
The air was mixed with a pungent and unpleasant odor, and weeds were spreading in the courtyard, which seemed to be a forbidden place where no one should set foot.
"Xiao Bai, are uncle and aunt here?"
Xiang Zhihan nodded and continued to lead Jiang Buwan forward.
It's quiet and desolate here, with few people passing by.
Think about it, this kind of place is so unlucky and remote, who would come here for nothing?
Jiang Buwan opened the door carefully, and the strong smell of blood hit her face. Her heart trembled, and an extremely bad premonition hit her. .
Through the moonlight, she could clearly see two bloody men lying on the ground. Their faces were dirty, a mixture of blood and soil. It was hard to imagine what kind of torture they had experienced before.
But Jiang Buwan still recognized them from their clothes and body shapes.
"Aunt! Uncle!"
Jiang Buwan suppressed his voice. Even if he was extremely sad, he did not dare to cry loudly, for fear that someone would hear the strange movement here and come to check.
The people on the ground moved and slowly and with difficulty raised their heads, "Wanwan?"
"Why are you here?" Jiang Xin suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly chased her away, "Wanwan, go! Get out of here!"
Jiang Buwan wanted to step forward and hug her aunt, but she was worried that she would touch her aunt's injuries and cause secondary harm to her.
"I'm not leaving." Jiang Buwan said, "I'll take you with me."
"Uncle...him?"
Jiang Buwan looked at his uncle who was motionless on one side, his voice trembling.
"Your uncle..." Jiang Xin left two lines of blood and tears, "He is dead."
Jiang Buwan felt like he was struck by lightning, "How could it be possible? How could uncle... What happened to aunt?"
"The old man selling oil told me that my uncle had offended the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"My uncle is just an ordinary person who sells meat. How can he have anything to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Jiang Xin was very sad, "The sky has no heart! The sky has no eyes!"
"People from the Prime Minister's Mansion often buy meat from our house. Yesterday, the young master from the Prime Minister's Mansion hosted a banquet for his sweetheart. The girl just said that the meat is not delicious."
"In order to please his sweetheart, the young master of the prime minister's residence immediately summoned the cook to beat him. The cook was aggrieved and defended himself."
"The lady also said that the other dishes were fine, but the meat was wrong."
"So, the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion ordered the butcher to be brought."
"Your uncle and I have been selling meat for so many years and there has never been any problem."
"And when it comes to meat sold to the Prime Minister's Mansion, your uncle and I always sell them the best and finest meat."
"How could something go wrong?"
"But they didn't care about that. They smashed up our butcher shop. Your uncle got so angry that he got into an argument with them and was beaten to death."
After Jiang Xin finished telling the whole story, she coughed twice more, "Wanwan, now that your uncle is gone, I can't survive."
With tears in her eyes, she raised her bloody hand to touch Jiang Buwan's face, "I just feel sorry for you and Ji'er, you are so young, what will you do in the future?"
"Auntie." Jiang Buwan gently held Jiang Xin's hand, "Let's go out together. Xiaobai is very smart and can definitely take us out."
Jiang Xin shook his head, "I was seriously injured and I won't survive."
"Wanwan, please leave quickly. If you are discovered by them, they will not let you go."
As soon as Jiang Xin finished speaking, there were faint sounds of footsteps and voices outside the door.
"Those two untouchables should be dead. It's really unlucky."
"Bah! Xu Da himself refused to come to carry the body, but he ordered us to do something."
"Okay, just say a few words."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xin hurriedly pushed Jiang Buwan in, "Wanwan, hide quickly."
"don't want."
"You can't save me!" Jiang Xin said with certainty, "You are so young, how can you be their opponent?"
"Be good, be obedient, and hide."
"Stay alive, my aunt will stay with you underground."
Jiang Buwan hesitated a little, so Jiang Xin took the initiative to hug Jiang Buwan and kissed her gently on the forehead, "Keep the green hills here, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood."
"You are still young now, but you and Ji'er will not be so young forever."
Jiang Xin said this deliberately, wanting to leave Jiang Buwan in his thoughts, but also fearing that she would get into trouble and refuse to hide.
After Jiang Xin finished speaking, she pushed her hard. At the same time, the door was opened from the outside.
