Over the next five days, more than a dozen boys and girls entered the room. After there were fifty-three people in total, no new people appeared.

Since there is no need to go outside to catch people, the frequency of shift changes of gate guards has increased.

Wei Miao and the others had their hands and feet tied up all the time, and were only untied when they went to the toilet next door.

But as soon as the child shouted to go to the toilet, the gatekeeper would take the child to the toilet while cursing at him, and then would pinch and beat the child.

Humans seek benefits and avoid harm. After a few times, dozens of children crowded in a room will know to hold back.

The people outside the door were naturally very proud.

The black-faced girl next to Wei Miao no longer cries for her mother. Her biggest hope every day is a bowl of rice soup at noon.

When it was time for lunch today, the person at the door had not come in yet.

Wei Miao pricked up his ears and heard a lot of noise outside. After a while, the door was pushed open and the man who called Third Brother was standing behind someone with his back hunched over.

"Housekeeper, the children are all here."

The man who was called the building manager was wearing a long gown and a top hat, and he was holding a silk handkerchief to his nose.

"Take them out, wash them clean, and feed them well for two days. After two days, the old man will be buried."

Chu San bowed and said "yes". Just as he was about to speak, he saw the housekeeper's eyes fall on the pair of foreign children.

"Is this the foreign stuff you got?"

Chu San bent his waist even lower, "It's not from Queen's Pier, I found it at Kowloon Pier."

After listening to this, the housekeeper smiled.

Anyone with a bit of status in Britain had to disembark at Queen's Pier; they would not bother going to other piers.

Those who can get off the ship at other docks are probably lower class people who are trying to make a living.

After Chu San finished speaking, he saw the housekeeper staring at the foreign brother and sister, and suddenly something came to his mind.

I heard that the master of the Lou family was a male philanderer and took wives and concubines just to have more children.

As a result, a bunch of women gave birth to only one girl, but Miss Lou was very successful and gave birth to four boys in four years. However, she was hacked to death on the street a few days ago.

No wonder the Lou family used young boys and girls as burial objects to suppress the resentment of their ancestors.

"Butler Lou, why don't you pick a few for the master?" Chu San suggested.

The building manager, who had originally had some thoughts in mind, suddenly changed his expression and kicked him.

"You bastard, the most important thing for the Lou family right now is the old man's funeral, and the other things will be discussed later."

Chu San lay on the ground exaggeratedly and quickly said "yes".

The housekeeper snorted coldly and turned to leave. Chu San watched him disappear downstairs, spat, and said coldly:

"Wait a minute, old man."

Wei Miao watched the play for unknown reasons. He was speechless, but also quite happy because he could finally take a shower and eat his fill.

While she was distracted, the cold little hands that had appeared on her first day stopped at her wrists.

"Don't make a sound."

The voice that spoke was a girl's, very calm.

Wei Miao nodded slightly, feeling the rope on his hand being cut by something.

"How did you get in?"

The girl's tone was calm and no emotion could be heard.

"He was caught in an alley and brought in." Wei Miao said.

"Did you hear what they said? We are going to be buried with the old man from the Lou family."

Wei Miao heard a hint of excitement in the girl's cold tone.

"I volunteered," the girl added.

Wei Miao was curious and asked quietly: "Why?"

The girl's tone was filled with melancholy, "The Lou family gave my dad 100 yuan and bought me."

Wei Miao let out a surprised exclamation with just the right expression, but he was muttering in his heart:

"I've met another person whose acting is worse than Brother Lu's."

Obviously the girl was satisfied with Wei Miao's performance. She quickly untied Wei Miao's rope and said in a cold tone:

"When you shout that you need to go to the bathroom, I will rush over to the doorkeeper and run out in the chaos. What happens next will depend on your luck."

After Wei Miao's wrists were freed, he casually kicked off the rope on his feet.

The cold girl's voice untied the ropes of several children in just a moment and said the same words to Wei Miao.

They were all children of twelve or thirteen years old. Although they were afraid, they knew the pros and cons, so no one made a noise.

But when they received the foreign boys and girls, something unexpected happened.

Perhaps it was the series of reactions that caused the foreign boy to collapse. He opened his mouth to scream, but the girl quickly covered his mouth.

Just because of this minor incident, someone knocked on the door with an iron rod and threatened:

"You bad boys, behave yourself! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Just at this time, Chu San came back and said, "Didn't you say you were much more well-behaved? Why are you making trouble again?"

The boy at the door flattered him: "Maybe he knows he's going to be buried alive, so he's trembling."

Chu San's expression was gloomy, and he sneered: "This is the fate of a cheap person. If you don't climb up, you can only be killed by someone pinching your fingers."

The younger brother quickly agreed, "I heard that the Lou family's cemetery is where the Lou family's century-old assets are placed. It can be considered a fortune for these people to die there."

The laughter at the door covered up the small commotion in the room, and there was a hint of confusion in the girl's cold voice.

The little foreign ghost couldn't understand what she said. Now she covered the foreign ghost's mouth, but was bitten on the hand instead. She felt extremely melancholy.

The master said that her chance was in Hong Kong Island. As soon as she arrived in Hong Kong Island, she heard at the dock that someone wanted to use young boys and girls as burial objects.

After asking around and finding out that the Lou family was a fat fish, he pretended to be tied up and brought over.

Witnessing the death of dozens of lives around her, she felt compassion.

Wei Miao felt a little conflicted when he heard the Lou family’s century-old wealth mentioned again outside the door.

She suffered here for a few days just to enter the cemetery and make money.

As a result, this righteous and cold-hearted girl appeared, as if she was going to take a gamble before being buried with him.

In this case, her overall plan had to change, so she groped over and tried to speak to the foreign devil in English:

"The situation is very dangerous now. You must remain quiet. Can you do it?"

Perhaps because she was familiar with the language and felt less fearful, the foreign girl said excitedly:

"Are you from Great Britain?"

Wei Miao hushed, "If you want to live, you have to be obedient, understand?"

The girl was obviously very dependent on the familiar local accent. She turned her head and said a few words to her brother who was still biting the cold girl's hand.

After the girl felt that he had given in, she did not complain and said to Wei Miao:

"I'll leave these two to you."

Wei Miao nodded in agreement, then told the two little foreigners about the cold girl's plan.

"My dear, this is a good idea, but we haven't eaten for several days and we don't have the strength." Standard London aristocratic accent.

No one has the strength, but this is the only way.

There were forty-nine of them, and no more than five people were outside the door.

If you are smart, you can always run away with half of them.

Even though she hadn't eaten for a few days, it didn't affect her physical strength, so she decided to drag the two of them out.

Run away, she won't run away.

Unfortunately, on the day she went out, she was wearing a small suit and when she was about to carry a cloth bag across her body, she realized that the bag had been cleaned by the diligent Vanilla sister.

If you carry a backpack, the frog larvae can delay some time and increase the probability of escape.
