The night in Daxing Town is dark. Poor families cannot afford lamp oil, so most people's homes are dark at night.
The restaurants and bars in the market closed early, and there were no pedestrians on the streets.
A dark figure crossed the city wall, avoiding the main roads and choosing dark alleys. He arrived at the Zhou Family Inn and used his skill to climb walls and fly over rooftops, finally arriving at the inn's backyard.
Yun Qing was meditating with his eyes closed in the dark room. When the man in black stepped into the inn, he opened his eyes. He could not see, but his eyes were unusually bright.
Soon the door was opened, and the dark shadow came in and closed the door again.
"Master, I'm late. Please punish me."
Yun Qing had heard his subordinates report like this countless times before and had long been accustomed to it. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but today he felt something was strange.
Asking him to punish them for such a small matter was just a slogan. When had he ever really punished them? He felt a little aggrieved for some reason. He wondered if he would really punish them.
Xiao Hei knelt on the ground for a long time without hearing his master's answer. Asleep? He secretly raised his head to take a look, but his master's eyes were not open.
He lowered his head and replied, "I have fulfilled my mission and have retrieved the medicine box."
Yun Qing came to his senses and went forward to help Xiao Hei up personally.
Xiao Hei: "..." Tears streamed down his face.
He put the bag on his back on the table and opened it. Since his master couldn't see it, there was no need to light a lamp.
"Master, Miss Mu's medicine box is really strange. I don't know what it's made of. It's neither glass nor jade, but it's transparent and you can see what's inside."
Yun Qing touched it with his hand and felt it was delicate, not as hard as jade. It was indeed very strange. He couldn't feel what material it was made of. But why were there three of them? He looked at Xiao Hei in confusion.
Xiao Hei immediately understood and said, "Master, I encountered some problems while retrieving the medicine box, so I came back late."
Yun Qing also thought about what had happened. Otherwise, with his ability, why would it take him two days to get a first aid kit?
Yun Qing sat down and motioned him to sit down as well.
Xiao Hei felt that his master was acting strangely. He felt unsure about what to say while sitting here. It would be better for him to stand and talk!
"Thank you, master!" Xiao Hei sat down with his heart in turmoil.
Then, he started from the time when he sent the ox cart to the Xu family in Daxi Village, and told in detail what he had learned about the things in Lao Chen Village.
That day, he went to Donghu Village, hid in the woods during the day, and only went into the village to check at night...
A lot of things happened in Donghu Village. The most important thing was that he didn't find the black backpack that Mu Qingcheng mentioned in the cellar, but he brought back two more boxes and saved a little girl...
The most surprising thing was that Shang Mingxian went to Donghu Village, apparently going for Miss Mu’s treasure.
Finally, he entered Shang Mingxian's carriage team, robbed one of his carriages, and rescued four girls. Together with the girl Linglong who was rescued earlier, there were five people in total.
Xiao Hei didn't dare to speak loudly. He lowered his voice and told his master everything he had experienced in the past two days as if he was telling a story.
That night, after rescuing the four girls, he drove his carriage to the woods to look for Linglong. Linglong had indeed been waiting there obediently. Master and servant met and cried bitterly. Xiao Hei was anxious. Girls are always troublesome. And now, there was still time for crying. Fortunately, Miss Su was sensible. She said nothing and pulled Linglong into the carriage.
Xiao Hei didn't care where they were going, he just rushed towards Daxing Town, reaching Daxi Village just before dawn. Going any further would easily expose their whereabouts, so he hid the carriage on a ridge at the end of a field, far from the road. There were several large trees there, and he hid the carriage behind them, covering it with hay and branches.
The girls, frightened and nervous for days, huddled together in the carriage, none of them slept. They all stared at him warily, afraid that they would just escape the tiger's mouth and fall into the wolf's den.
Xiao Hei's heart softened and he felt even more sorry for these girls.
"Where are you going?"
After Xiao Hei asked this question, the girls became obviously nervous again.
The youngest, Mu Yao, said anxiously, "I want to find my brother."
Xiao Hei said: "Okay, then where is your brother? How do I contact him?"
Mu Yao pouted, her eyes red as if she was about to cry, and said, "I don't know either!"
"Hiss!" Xiao Hei wanted to beat someone up.
It was obvious that Mu Yao was not from an ordinary family. She was dressed very casually, her skin was fair and tender, and her hands were clean without even a callus. She looked like a spoiled girl.
Forget it, this girl looks like a trouble, let’s ignore her for now.
Xiao Hei looked at Su Qingyan again. The birthmark on her face always startled anyone who saw her for the first time. But in the daytime, the red birthmark wasn't so scary anymore. Instead, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and between her bright eyes and white teeth, there was a convincing wisdom. Combined with her cool demeanor, it added a touch of ethereal grace.
Xiao Hei felt sorry for such a beautiful face. Is God jealous of beauty?
"Ahem! Miss Su, where do you want to go? Or do you want me to notify your family first and wait for someone to pick you up?"
"Family?" Su Qingyan said slowly, "Oh! I'm afraid they won't come to pick me up. They even wish I had died out there."
"Miss...!" Linglong cried bitterly after hearing this: "What should we do?...Wuwuwu..."
"Hiss!" Xiao Hei, this is even more troublesome.
He looked at the other two girls again. They were obviously from ordinary families. They looked pretty, with dark skin, thin and small bodies, and rough fingers. It was obvious that they were children who had been used to doing hard work since childhood.
"you……"
"Benefactor, please don't send me back. My stepmother will sell me. She has already sold me twice. I won't go back..." One of the thinnest girls cried breathlessly.
Another, slightly older man, said indifferently, "We'll be sold anyway if we go back. We managed to escape this time, but I'm afraid they'll be dealt with even faster if we go back. Who knows, they might even be happier! Being sold twice... Ha! I'd rather die than let them get away with it."
Good, good! Xiao Hei realized that these five girls were trouble.
He scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
Su Qingyan looked at everyone and smiled apologetically at Xiao Hei, saying, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, young man. We can't let you down. How about you take us to town, and we can rent a house to stay in first, and then we can slowly make plans."
Xiao Hei thought this was a solution, at least he had a place to live. But he started to have a headache again. He touched the purse in his arms, and there was only five taels of silver in it, and this was the pocket money that Miss Mu secretly gave him!
Alas! When has he, a dignified Dragon Shadow Guard, ever bent his knees for money? This is truly a story where a penny can bring a hero down.
Su Qingyan saw Xiao Hei's embarrassment, and she hurriedly took out two bundles from behind her and placed them in front of Xiao Hei.
