"Okay, take them to wash up, change into clean clothes, and then get some food for them." Lin Congyun ordered.

"Yes, mother." The two responded and took the children to the house.

After a while, Zhang Liucui came out and said, "Mom, you don't have enough clothes left in the house."

At first, Lin Congyun only took out a dozen sets of children's clothes from the secret passage, which she had looted along the way.

More than a dozen children were brought back today. It seems that I can only go to the secret passage to get some more clothes.

It would be better if fewer people knew about the secret passage, so Lin Congyun asked them to stay in the yard first.

He waited until there was no one in the room before moving the wooden board under the bed and walking into the secret passage.

Lin Congyun picked out some suitable clothes in the stone chamber inside the secret passage and prepared to go out.

I saw an exquisite box scattered on the ground.

She bent down to pick it up, opened it, and what came into her eyes was a human skin mask as thin as a cicada's wing and lifelike.

She was stunned for a moment, picked up the human skin mask and looked at it carefully.

This mask is so exquisite that it must have been made by a skilled craftsman and is definitely not something that an ordinary person can own.

She recalled that she had entered several mansions when she was looting items, but she had no idea from which houses she had obtained them.

Lin Congyun carefully put the human skin mask back into the box and took it out to study it first.

When Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu came out of the secret passage, they couldn't help feeling confused when they saw Lin Congyun taking out so many sets of clothes.

Seeing the two people's puzzled expressions, Lin Congyun explained, "I hid these clothes in the house and picked out some suitable ones."

Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu did not suspect anything and quickly asked the children to come over and change their clothes.

Before Lin Congyun left the space, he emphasized again not to go out.

"Mom, don't worry, we will wait for you here." Zeng Xiaoyu nodded in agreement.

Lin Congyun turned around and walked out of the yard. When he was about to leave the space, he heard a sound coming from outside.

"Why is there no cargo at all?"

She frowned and stood at a distance listening carefully to the noise outside.

"Could they all run away?" a male voice asked with some doubt.

"How is that possible? Can a dozen kids run away?" another male voice said disdainfully.

Lin Congyun held his breath and continued to listen to the conversation outside.

"Maybe it was hidden?" a slightly old voice speculated.

"Hide? There's not much space here, where can you hide?" The male voice said impatiently, "Look for it quickly, don't waste time."

Someone actually guessed it right, but you will never find those children.

Lin Congyun waited until there was no sound outside, then flashed out of the space.

Just as she was about to walk in the direction she came from, she heard a surprised voice coming from the damaged wall: "Hey, there's a footprint here, look!"

Lin Congyun stopped instantly and flashed into the space again.

"Ah! Ghost..."

As soon as Lin Congyun entered the space, he saw a figure not far away. He was so scared that he collapsed on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

Hearing the scream, Lin Congyun thought to himself that something was wrong. He had deliberately chosen a remote place in the space, but he didn't expect to be seen when he came in this time.

She quickly adjusted her breathing, calmed her mind, and then walked over.

She saw a burly man staring at the place where she had just stood, his face full of horror.

He seemed to have seen something incredible, and muttered to himself: "Ghost...Ghost!"

Lin Congyun looked carefully and found that this man was the leader of the bandits.

When he was locked up in the rockery, it only took a few days before he couldn't stand it anymore and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"What's this?" Lin Congyun walked up to him. "What are you yelling about in broad daylight?"

When the bandit leader saw that it was Lin Congyun, who was more terrifying than a ghost, his body trembled again and he almost fell to the ground.

"You...you...why...did you suddenly...appear...just now..." he stammered, his eyes full of fear and disbelief.

Lin Congyun raised his eyebrows, looked at the thousand-year-old tree from the Imperial Garden, and then said in a cold voice: "What do you mean by I suddenly appeared? I was on the tree to supervise whether you were working hard, and your shout almost made me fall from the tree."

As soon as Lin Congyun finished speaking, an expression of embarrassment and confusion appeared on the bandit leader's face.

He looked around and realized that where Lin Congyun was standing was a big tree with lush branches and leaves, and the tree canopy just blocked his view.

He had indeed not seen Lin Congyun coming down from the tree before, he just felt that she seemed to appear out of thin air, which scared him to death.

"So... So you have been in the tree all the time..." The bandit leader wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It turned out that he didn't see a ghost. He was just scared just now.

Lin Congyun looked at the frightened look of the bandit leader and chuckled in his heart. It seemed that he was frightened.

Then, Lin Congyun looked him up and down in a pretentious manner and said, "At this time, everyone is working in the fields. You came here alone. Are you slacking off?"

Upon hearing this, the bandit leader waved his hands and explained in a hurry: "No, no, no, I'm not being lazy. I just wanted to find a place to relieve myself..."

"Convenient?" Lin Congyun curled his lips and revealed a fake smile, "Then you know that urinating and defecating anywhere will also be punished here."

When the bandit leader heard this, his face suddenly changed. He immediately knelt on the ground and begged, "Madam, please spare my life. I really know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again..."

Looking at the bandit leader's frightened look, Lin Congyun nodded with satisfaction.

It seemed that the bandit leader was really intimidated by her.

This is good, at least I don’t have to worry about him being lazy and slacking off in the future.

"Okay, get up." Lin Congyun waved his hand, signaling the bandit leader to get up. "As long as you work hard in the future and stop being lazy, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Thank you, madam. Thank you, madam!" Upon hearing this, the bandit leader kowtowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Well, go ahead." Lin Congyun waved his hand and ignored him.

Only after he walked away did Lin Congyun breathe a sigh of relief, secretly thanking his lucky stars that he had reacted quickly and did not reveal his true identity.

It seems that I can't enter and leave the space so openly. If I am discovered, I am too lazy to explain.

She looked up and around, then walked straight to the stream.

For some reason, the light spot next to the stream stopped flickering after other people came in.
