Traveling through the Lotus Tower: Li Lianhua, you must live well

Li Lianhua frowned and asked in confusion, "Why is this happening? But what happened in the city? Big brother, please tell me about it."

Seeing that Li Lianhua had a good attitude, the middle-aged beggar didn't mind telling him, "It's a long story. I heard that there were green stones in this mountain before. They were very valuable, so many outsiders came here to buy those green stones at a high price.

Later, many people started mining, and the mountain was full of holes.

One night three years ago, a fire suddenly broke out in the home of a wealthy stone buyer named Yan.

The fire burned the entire Yan family to ashes, no one escaped, and half of the mountain was blown up.

Since then, there have been several wildfires and no one dared to mine again.

It was also from that time that a strange thing happened here.

Whenever a money box appears at the door of a household in the city, a girl will disappear from that household.

Everyone was very panicked at first, especially the good families with girls.

Some people tried to get their girls to hide away, but no matter where they hid, they would be caught.

Later, a rumor came from somewhere that the King of Hell blamed us for touching his treasury in the underworld, so he sent down a mountain fire to punish us.

That box of money is the betrothal gift from the King of Hell."

Li Lianhua: "Dowry?"

The middle-aged beggar nodded: "Yes, the rumor says that those missing girls were married off by the King of Hell. The money left behind is naturally the betrothal gift.

Moreover, there has been no forest fire here since the King of Hell got married.

I heard from Liaoyuan, the abbot of Hanshan Temple, that it was the girls who were married off by the King of Hell who were protecting the peace of this small remote city.

So, gradually, everyone began to believe this statement and slowly accepted their fate.

What else can we do if we don't accept our fate? We are just ordinary people with cheap lives. It's good enough to be alive. Can we wrestle with the King of Hell?"

The more Li Lianhua listened, the more suspicious she felt. "Then, no one went to check the authenticity of this matter? What did the government say?"

The middle-aged beggar chuckled and said, "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, what can the Lord of Hell do if he wants to marry the master of the government office?

When this incident first started, the detectives also went to check it out, but they couldn't find anything after investigating it for a long time.

In the past three years, I don’t know how many girls have been married off by the King of Hell.”

After listening to this, Li Lianhua felt a little heavy-hearted. Death is never a happy thing, especially when so many girls died in vain for no apparent reason.

After getting the information he wanted, Li Lianhua thanked the middle-aged beggar, gave him thirty more copper coins as a reward, and returned to Lianhua Tower.

As soon as we got home, Su Ci came out holding Guo Guo, "Hua Hua, it looks like we have to stay in this small remote town for a few more days."

Just when Li Lianhua was asking the beggar for information, the system issued a task for them to uncover the truth behind the King of Hell's marriage.

Li Lianhua naturally saw it as well, so she told Su Ci the news she had heard.

Before Su Ci could say anything, Guo Guo said indignantly: "Dad, that King of Hell is too bad. We have to catch the bad guys."

As he said this, he clenched his little fist and waved it in the air twice indignantly to show his indignation.

Su Ci asked him with amusement: "Did you understand what your father just said? How do you know that the King of Hell is a bad guy?"

Guoguo nodded, "Guoguo understands. Guoguo knows that bad guys have kidnapped many sisters, and their parents can't see them anymore. We have to catch the bad guys and let these sisters go home."

After saying that, he unconsciously puffed out his chest and looked at Su Ci with a look that said, "Praise me, praise me."

Just now, Li Lianhua saw that Guoguo was also listening attentively, so she tried her best to explain in words that he could understand.

Su Ci originally thought that he was just joining in the fun and treating it as a story, but he didn't expect that he actually understood it.

This gave her a new understanding of her fat son's IQ.

Su Ci was thinking in his mind that maybe he could start learning martial arts and literature in advance.

Before this, she thought her son was still young, so she only taught him some simple words, told him some fables or legends about herbs as bedtime stories, and did not specifically teach him to study.

Now it seems that I can arrange my studies.

With such a devilish thought in her mind, Su Ci's eyes became much kinder when she looked at her son, causing Li Lianhua to look at her several times.

Seeing that her son was still waiting for her praise, she praised him generously: "Our Guoguo is really great, not only smart but also very brave."

Guoguo grinned, and her little chest puffed out even higher.
