When they reached the cell door, the small iron door of the dungeon had been opened. They saw the firelight and there was a sudden commotion in the originally quiet cell. Low, suppressed sobbing sounds reached the ears of several people.

Then, a group of ragged, unkempt people appeared before their eyes.

Their faces were as pale as paper, their lips were bloodless, and they looked ahead in horror, their eyes revealing deep despair and helplessness.

When they saw someone coming, they knelt down and begged for mercy as if they had found a life-saving straw, and kept knocking their heads. The dull sound of their foreheads hitting the ground made people feel pity for them.

Among them, kneeling in the front was an old man with gray hair and a haggard face. The ropes that bound his hands and feet had been untied. He said in a trembling voice: "Dear nobles, please be kind and save us! We are all from Cuijiaao Village in Ningping Mountain. I am the village chief Cui Fugui. I beg you..."

When Chu Dahu came over just now, they already knew that they were not bandits. The bandits outside had been subdued by this group of people. Chu Dahu asked them to wait and then went out.

Chu Dahu came over again with two people. Village Chief Cui knew that this was the leader of Chu Dahu's gang. His voice was filled with tears, as if he was about to collapse in the next moment.

Their voices were trembling and hoarse, and both children and the elderly began to sob.

It makes people feel pity.

Yun Duo looked at Chu Dahu, "All of you, get up! Come out and talk if you have anything to say. Uncle Dahu, take them all to the meeting room!"

Village Chief Cui took the lead in kowtowing to Yun Duo and Cheng Yuheng, "Thank you, my dear masters! Thank you, my dear masters!"

At this time, a little boy of about five or six years old, crying loudly with snot and tears all over his face, ran to Yun Duo and tried to grab her trouser legs. Cheng Yuheng stood in front of Yun Duo and was about to kick the boy away.

Then a weak voice came from the crowd, "Pillar".

Yun Duo quickly pulled the boy aside and said, "Yuheng, don't be anxious. Listen to what he has to say."

The boy was so frightened that his crying stopped abruptly. His face was covered with snot and tears, and he stood there in panic.

Yun Duo looked at the man who had just called "Zhu Zi". He was lying on the ground with no breath left, staring at the boy in panic. Then she looked at the boy who was scared silly by her. He looked about 50% similar to the man. After seeing the boy, she knew the relationship between the two.

The boy was about the same age as Xiao Sibao. He was wearing a patched piece of clothing that was tattered and even half broken, exposing his wrists and ankles. These parts were covered with several scars that looked like marks left by being whipped.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of pity in my heart, and I was filled with sympathy and heartache for this poor child.

So, she asked the boy as gently as possible: "Little brother, what do you want to do with me?"

As she spoke, she gently stroked the boy's head, trying to calm him down. At the same time, she carefully observed the boy's expression, hoping to understand his purpose of coming here.

After hearing Yun Duo's words, the boy seemed to gradually calm down. He raised his head, with a little fear still in his big eyes, but when he saw Yun Duo smiling and asking her, he was not so scared anymore.

"Sister...hiccup...sister," the boy sniffed and held back his tears, whispering with a tremor in his voice, "Please, sister, can you, can you also save my sister and my mother?"

Yun Duo nodded and smiled, encouraging him to continue.

The boy took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak: "Sister, my name is Zhuzi. My mother and sister were taken away by bad guys, and my father was also injured by the bad guys. Please save them! I am willing to work hard for you in the future to repay you." At the end, the boy couldn't help but burst into tears.

Village Chief Cui also knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Please save our women. The young women and... a few older girls, have all been taken away by the bandits. I'm afraid..." Before Village Chief Cui could finish his words, the villagers behind him burst into tears.

"Please, my lord, save my wife and my poor daughter!"

"Please, my dear, save my mother!"

"Please have mercy and save my sister!"

The villagers burst into tears.

Yun Duo said as she looked at Chu Dahu and the young men from Chu Village who followed him. "Uncle Dahu, take everyone to the meeting hall first. You guys help carry the injured ones over."

Chu Dahu nodded, "Okay, Miss Yun."

"Don't cry, Zhuzi, don't cry either. Get up first, follow Uncle Dahu and the others out and wait in the meeting room. I will help you find your relatives."

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Thank you, sister!" Zhuzi stopped crying and nodded vigorously.

Yun Duo and Cheng Yuheng were the first to leave the dungeon and walk towards the stone house in the backyard, where the bandits lived.

Lin Gao saw the two of them coming over and hurried over. "Mr. Cheng, Miss Duo, you came just in time. Miss Duo, I was just about to go look for you." Lin Gao seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Uncle Lin, what's wrong? What happened?" Yun Duo asked anxiously.

Lin Gao sighed, "Hey! Come with me."

Lin Gao took Yun Duo to a low stone house, which looked like they had been kidnapped by bandits.

Your third uncle found them first, but he didn't say anything and told others not to come over here first, and then told me and your eldest brother. I asked your eldest brother to look for you, but your eldest brother hasn't come back yet, and you guys came over.

Now, what should we do with these women? Fortunately, you drugged the bandits. They were captured not long ago, and most of them were innocent. Otherwise, they would not be able to survive.

However, if this matter is not resolved properly, even if these women are not innocent, the bandit den will probably never be able to hold their heads up again after this move.

Yun Duo nodded, "Uncle Lin, you guys wait at the door, I'll go in and take a look."

Lin Gao hurriedly stopped him, "Duo'er, don't go in yet. Although the bandits inside have been knocked unconscious, their clothes are in disarray. It's not appropriate for a girl like you to go in."
