Chapter 117 Unbelievable

What?

Her son is in the cellar?

Mrs. Yang almost wondered if she was hearing hallucinations.

But she didn't want to miss even a glimmer of hope.

Suddenly turning around, Mrs. Yang asked Ling Chu for confirmation in a trembling voice, "Xiangu, you...what did you just say?"

Ling Chu could understand her mood and said word for word, "You heard me right, your son is in the cellar."

Following Ling Chu's fingers, Mrs. Yang stared blankly at the cellar entrance in the corner.

Perhaps the news was too sudden, and she had been disappointed too many times in the past six months.

Mrs. Yang stared straight at the cellar entrance, Ling Chu's words echoing over and over in her mind.

It wasn't until there was a slight noise in the cellar that Mrs. Yang suddenly reacted and rushed toward the cellar entrance like crazy.

Following the faint light coming from the cellar, Mrs. Yang walked along the steps of the cellar.

Ling Chu didn't go down to the cellar, so even though Ms. Liu was fainted, she still had to keep an eye on her.

If she went down to the cellar and Mrs. Liu woke up and ran away, she would still have to work hard to catch him.

Those who came to watch the excitement saw Mrs. Yang going down to the cellar and started talking about it.

"Mrs. Yang's son is in the cellar. Is this true or false?"

"How is that possible? Mrs. Yang's son was burned to death long ago. The grass on the grave is probably several feet high."

"But that Taoist nun, why do I feel like she's not lying?"

While these people were discussing, they vaguely heard an excited shout from Mrs. Yang coming from the cellar. Before everyone could hear clearly, there was a loud cry immediately after.

The timid person's face changed, "What happened? Why are you crying so miserably?"

"I think that sound sounded like excited crying. It seemed that Mrs. Yang was calling An Ge'er just now?" someone said unsurely.

Ling Chu glanced at the system scan, frowned, and said to those watching, "Is there any aunt or uncle willing to go down to the cellar to help Mrs. Yang and bring the child up?"

Everyone's curiosity was aroused by the situation in the cellar. After hearing Ling Chu's words, those who were bold wanted to go into the cellar to find out.

Ling Chu selected an uncle in his thirties and two aunts and let them go down to the cellar.

Then he turned to Xia Zhi and said, "Hold up the carriage and go quickly to invite a doctor."

Xia Zhi nodded in agreement and walked out without worrying about Ling Chu's safety. As for Ms. Liu, her girl can be knocked down with a hammer, so there is nothing to worry about.

Not long after the three people got down to the cellar, the uncle quickly turned around and came back.

As soon as they saw the uncle sticking his head out from the cellar entrance, someone immediately stepped forward and asked, "How about it? Is Mrs. Yang's son really in the cellar and not dead?"

The uncle looked unhappy, frowned, hesitated, and shook his head.

Someone immediately sneered, "I just said that Mrs. Yang's son has been dead for a long time. How could he be in the cellar?"

"What exactly happened? Then why did Mrs. Yang cry so miserably?"

The uncle crawled out of the cellar and said with a frown, "There is indeed a boy in the cellar. He is sallow and thin, and he is chained. But I can't say whether that boy is Mrs. Yang's son."

Even so, when the uncle saw Mrs. Yang holding the child and crying so sadly and excitedly, he felt inseparable.

It's just that he hasn't met Mrs. Yang's son before, so he doesn't dare to confirm it.

But what he said was enough to surprise everyone.

Is there a boy chained up in the Liu family's cellar?

Many people find it unbelievable. After all, Mrs. Liu has always had a good impression in the eyes of her neighbors.

The uncle came out of the cellar and walked towards Ling Chu after hesitating for a while, "Xiangu, the child in the cellar is chained up, so we can't bring him out."

"Go and search Ms. Liu to see if she has the key."

"Fairy aunt..., isn't this good?" Although the uncle felt that locking a child in the cellar was indeed too much, but after all, there were differences between men and women, so he couldn't bring himself to search Liu's body.

Ling Chu didn't embarrass him either.

Another aunt was found to search Liu's body.

But after searching several times, the key was not found on Liu's body.

Ling Chu simply scooped a ladle of water from the kitchen and splashed Ms. Liu awake.

Seeing Mrs. Liu open her eyes, Ling Chu didn't waste any time and asked directly, "Where is the key to the iron chain?"

Seeing the open door of the cellar, Mrs. Liu glared at Ling Chu bitterly. This damn Taoist nun dared to ruin her good deeds.

"I have thrown the key into the pit a long time ago. If you want it, just jump in and find it."

Ling Chu gave her a cold look, thinking she couldn't rescue the child without the key?

Talking is too tiring, so it’s better to take action directly.

Ling Chu knocked Liu out unconscious with a knife.

Then he returned to the kitchen, took out a rope, tied up Ms. Liu without saying a word, and tied her roughly to a big tree in the yard.

Although some people felt that this Taoist nun was a little too much towards a weak woman from the Liu family, but seeing that she acted swiftly and without mercy, they did not dare to say anything.

After Ling Chu tied it up, she asked the uncle to stay and watch in case Mrs. Liu woke up and tricked others into untying the rope and escaping.

After going down to the cellar, Ling Chu saw the skinny child with a frightened expression, and felt that viciousness was not enough to describe Mrs. Liu.

When she saw Ling Chu, Mrs. Yang wiped away her tears and immediately knelt down to kowtow to her.

Ling Chu reached out and gave him a hand, "Don't kneel, it's important to rescue the child first."

The child was found, and Madam Yang now regarded Ling Chu as her savior. After hearing her words, she stood up quickly.

The child must have been frightened. His small body huddled in the corner, looking at them in horror.

The two aunts wanted to help carry him out, but the child screamed in fear, and even Madam Yang didn't dare to let her get close.

Ling Chu saw this and had to secretly use a soothing charm on him. Seeing that he had fallen asleep, he took out a small hammer and broke the iron chain that locked him near his ankle.

Yang couldn't wait to pick up the child. Ling Chu comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I used a soothing charm on him to prevent him from being stimulated by seeing strangers. I have asked the maid to invite a doctor. After the doctor takes his pulse, you can take him to find a locksmith to open the iron chain on his feet."

"Okay, I will listen to the fairy."

Ling Chu nodded and took Yang and others out of the cellar.

The people in the yard immediately surrounded them impatiently.

"Oh my God, Liu actually locked such a young child in the cellar?"

Even though they saw Yang holding the child, some people still couldn't believe it, "Is this really Madam Yang's child? If this is the real thing, then who is the child buried by the Yang family?"

"Could it be that this is actually Liu's son...?"
