Chapter 335: Entrusting an Orphan to Him

Seeing that the woman was on her deathbed, Su Qingmei felt sorry for her. Read М

She signaled Yi Yuan, Xiao Douzi and others: "Go around and see if there are any living people."

"Okay, Miss."

"Yes, sister-in-law."

"What do you want to tell me? Just tell me." Su Qingmei leaned over to her and got in front of her.

Seeing that everyone had left, the woman took something out of her arms with difficulty and quickly stuffed it into Su Qingmei's arms.

As soon as Su Qingmei moved her hand to see what it was, the woman held her down with her hand.

With tears in her eyes: "Please, save my son... Please save him. He was caught on the mountain... He can't die, can't..."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll send someone to the mountain to find out the situation right away."

The woman got her promise, nodded with gratitude, and her whole body was exhausted.

Still staring at her, word by word, speaking with difficulty.

"Find my son and tell him not to go back... not to seek revenge, be an ordinary person... please treat him like your son... raise him up..."

He whispered a few words to Su Qing'an.

Su Qing'an's eyes widened.

Look at her.

"Please, save him, raise him up... I see you are a good person, thank you on behalf of my master... I will be your slave in the next life..."

Su Qing'an didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Seeing that she was holding him tightly, waiting for a promise from him, she was obviously exhausted, but she just refused to close her eyes.

Su Qing'an nodded: "Okay, don't worry. My son is this old, and I will raise him together with my son in the future, just like brothers."

"Okay, okay... Be an ordinary person, don't go back to Chang'an, don't go back..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand slipped from Su Qing'an's arm.

Su Qing'an hugged her blankly, not knowing how to react.

"Miss."

"Sister-in-law."

"She said her son was kidnapped and taken to the mountain. She asked me to rescue him and raise him to be an ordinary person."

"This..."

"Is it because his identity is not easy to show to others?"

Su Qing'an nodded: "He is a member of the Cui family, a branch of the Cui family. You have heard about it, but you can't tell anyone else."

"Yes. Don't worry, Miss."

"Don't worry, sister, I'm tight-lipped."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't tell anyone."

Si Yuan understood the woman's precautions just now. She was almost dead, but she was still thinking about her son. She was afraid that others would harm him again, and it was human nature to hinder them.

Su Qing'an concealed the things in her arms and the identity of her master.

It's not that she didn't trust Si Yuan and others, but because the matter was too serious, and the more people knew, the more dangerous it would be.

She hadn't seen the things that the woman stuffed into her arms, and she didn't know what they were. But her heart was pounding, fearing that this thing was of great importance.

Su Qingmei explained half-truthfully, fearing that Siyuan and the others would have grudges in their hearts.

Seeing that they understood, she was relieved.

"Let's help bury the people."

"Okay, Miss."

"Is anyone alive? Is there anything else?"

"No. They are all dead. Nothing else was found. The packages and valuables were probably taken to the mountain by the bandits."

"Even the ornaments on the maids and guards were taken away."

"More than that, even the outer clothes and shoes on the people were stripped off. Not even the clothes to cover the body were left. These thieves! Like locusts!"

"How many people did Wu Quanzhong liquidate? Even the children were not spared."

"Hasn't he always been a ruthless killer? The last emperor abdicated to him, and in order to eliminate future troubles, he still poisoned people to death."

"Little bean!" Su Qingmei scolded hurriedly.

"Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong."

"We are still outside, so we can't discuss the affairs of the court." Su Qing'an was afraid that he would be careless and cause trouble.

"That's right, aren't you afraid that his minions will hear you and take you away to be whipped? Maybe they will even cut you into pieces!" Huabao scared him.

"I won't say anything." Xiaodouzi quickly pursed his lips.

Everyone worked together to dig a big pit and arrested the 20 or 30 attendants and maids of this family.

The conditions were simple, but at least they were given a decent place.

After cleaning up, Siyuan said, "Miss, I'll go up and take a look."

"I'll go and take a look too. I've been a mountain bandit, so it's no problem to go into the mountains." Huabao volunteered.

"I'll go too." Xiaodouzi was also eager to try.

"You should stay and protect my sister."

Finally, Xiaodouzi and Zhang Yong stayed behind, while Siyuan, Siyuan and Huabao went into the mountains to get information.

Waiting was boring, and thinking of the tragic scene they had just seen, the three of them couldn't help sighing again.

"Sister-in-law, why did these bandits keep a child after they killed the whole family?"

Because the child is of noble status.

But Su Qing'an didn't say it out loud, holding back her words, and only said: "The bandits are never satisfied. I'm afraid they want to hold the child hostage and ask for benefits from his family."

"These thieves are not afraid of eating too much."

The three of them were waiting for news in the woods.

Xiao Douzi was bored waiting, so he went to the mountains to shoot a few pheasants, packed them up, and roasted them on the fire.

It's good to follow my sister-in-law out, I don't feel any suffering, it's like traveling around.

My sister-in-law arranged everything clearly, and the oil and salt were all packed in bamboo tubes. In such a cold day, there are also pottery pots to eat hot food.

Su Qingmei couldn't stay idle either. She picked up some mushrooms in the forest and filled a pot with water from a cliff to make mushroom soup.

The pheasant was roasted and the soup was ready. The three of them sat down to share the food.

Not long after they finished eating, they saw Siyuan running back.

"Miss, there is a bandit's den in the mountains, and there are quite a few people. It's hard to break in and rescue them during the day. Siyuan and Huabao are still watching there. I'll come back and tell you."

"Are there a lot of people?"

"I'm afraid there must be one or two hundred people."

"Then we can't force our way in." Su Qingmei frowned.

The other side has one or two hundred people, and they only have six people. No matter how good Zhang Yong and others are, they may not be able to resist the other side's human wave tactics.

But Xiaodouzi and Zhang Yong were eager to try.

Most men are passionate. When they see injustice, they want to go up and compete with others and argue with the other side.

Su Qingmei thought about it and decided that even if she wanted to launch a surprise attack at night and sneak in, she had to find a good way. Otherwise, the situation in the mountains was complicated. If she was not careful, she would not be able to rescue the people but herself.

"Have you found the way?"

"Looking for it."

Su Qingmei said, "Hide the horses and carriages, and I will go with you to find them."

"No, Miss, you just stay outside. If something happens to you, how can we explain to the King of Yue."

"It's okay. I've been in the mountains for a long time and I'm more familiar with the situation in the mountains than you."

"Let's hide the important things in the trees first, hide the carriages in the dense forests, and hide the horses."

Seeing that they couldn't argue with Su Qingmei, everyone had to do what she said.

After hiding the things, Su Qingmei followed them into the mountains.

Su Qingmei had a cheating artifact, and she thought that maybe she could sneak in more conveniently than them. Maybe she would have to rescue the people.

The group quietly sneaked into the vicinity of the bandit's nest.

I don't know if they just occupied the mountain as the king, or they are too confident, this bandit's nest doesn't even have a guard or a sentry.

Su Qing'an and others suddenly felt relieved.

It seems that they are just ordinary bandits, not a big deal.

This is good.

If they encounter a group of strong combatants, I'm afraid they can't deal with them.

It was still light, and the group met Siyuan and Huabao, and then hid in a hidden place, waiting for dark.
