“Ahem…!” The old woman coughed twice, took a breath and said, “We were all captured.”

"Captured? Don't the government care?" Feng Qingjiu asked with a frown.

The old woman slapped her thigh and said angrily, "You were arrested by the government. They put you in jail on a trumped-up charge and then sent you here."

"We are a family of four and have all come here. My son and daughter-in-law have been thrown into the abyss by Lady Xishi to feed the crocodiles." The old woman covered her face and cried, "If it weren't for you, little girl, Xiao Sang'er and I would have been food in the crocodile's stomach today."

"All officials in Tiandeng County, including the soldiers guarding the city gates, are the same as the people in the ghost market."

When Feng Qingjiu heard this, his heart suddenly paused, his face turned ashen in an instant, and his eyes were burning with anger, as if flames were jumping in them.

"These dog officials in Tiandeng County actually colluded with the Xuanyue people to brutally harm the people."

But how could a mere county magistrate of Tiandeng County be so bold? There must be someone behind him.

"Little girl, since you can come here safely, you must have some skills. Now that no one finds you, you should escape quickly." The old man's tone was full of anxiety.

"If someone with your appearance were discovered, he would be captured and sacrificed immediately."

"An immediate sacrifice? Old man, what does this mean?" Feng Qingjiu asked.

The old woman pointed at the people digging for gold in the cave and said, "Little girl, don't you notice that there are no young and beautiful women here?"

Feng Qingjiu looked around and indeed there was no one there. There were only the elderly, the weak, women, children and men.

"Those girls were taken by the ghost market owner to offer sacrifices to his ancestors." The old woman continued, "Every year during the Zhongyuan Festival, Xuan Yue would hold a huge sacrificial ceremony. They were not ordinary sacrifices, but they would capture the girls of Tiansheng and scald them to death in the furnace!"

"Little girl, this year's Ghost Festival is coming soon, you should leave quickly!"

After hearing these words, Feng Qingjiu was shocked again.

Scalding to death, how cruel it is.

This guy is simply not a human being.

No, now that I'm here, I won't allow this to happen.

"Grandma...Xiao Sang'er is feeling unwell! Cough cough cough." The little boy was coughing violently.

The old woman took the little boy into her arms and said, "Good boy, you will feel better after a good sleep."

Fengqing Wine: [All, medicine.]

The system pursed its lips and shed pig tears: [Host, take this. This medicine will work after one pill. I guarantee that the grandfather and grandson will be cured.]

Feng Qingjiu picked up the pill and handed it to the old woman: "Old lady, this is medicine to treat your illness. You will be cured after taking it."

The old woman took the medicine and said with gratitude: "Thank you, little girl."

"Come, little Sang'er, take your medicine."

The little boy took the pill obediently and said slowly and weakly: "Thank you, sister."

Feng Qingjiu touched the little boy's head and said, "Xiao Sang'er is so good."

"Old man, give this...!" Feng Qingjiu exchanged some food from the space.

Seeing the food, the little boy couldn't help but swallow his saliva, especially the roast duck.

Because this is a corner, no one can see it.

“Little girl, this...!” The old woman was reluctant to take the food and looked outside with fear in her eyes.

Feng Qingjiu directly placed the wine in her hand and smiled gently: "Old man, please eat quickly! I'll watch outside."

The old woman's eyes were moist and she nodded: "Hey, thank you, little girl."

"Xiao San'er, come and eat."

Then the grandfather and grandson began to eat voraciously.

"Old man, please eat slowly, don't choke." Feng Qingjiu took out two more bottles of mineral water.

Fast forward...!

In about thirty minutes, the grandparents and grandchildren ate a total of three roast ducks and four steamed buns.

Seeing that the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Feng Qingjiu gave them some more dry food.

"Sister Yue." Tofu Xishi's voice came from outside.

The old woman's eyes were panicked and her body was shaking: "Little girl."

Feng Qingjiu patted the back of the old woman's hand and comforted her softly: "Old lady, it's okay, don't be afraid."

"I'm going out first. I'll come back to see you and Xiao Sang'er when I have time."

"Your illness will be cured by tomorrow morning at the latest."

The old woman kowtowed heavily to Feng Qingjiu and said, "Thank you, little girl. I have no way of repaying your kindness."

Feng Qingjiu immediately helped the old woman up: "Old lady, get up quickly, you're welcome, you and Xiao Sang'er take care of yourselves, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue you."

…………

“Sister Yue…?” Tofu Xishi was still shouting.

"Strange, where is Sister Yue?"

"Oh no, I'm not too late. Sister Yue went out alone and ran into some trap!"

"Heimao, have you seen where Sister Yue has gone?" Tofu Xishi asked anxiously.

Feng Qingjiu: "Sister Xi Shi."

Just as the man named Heimao was about to speak, Feng Qingjiu came out from the corner.

Seeing Feng Qingjiu's figure, Tofu Xishi took a breath and said, "Oh, Sister Yue, you scared me to death. I thought you went out alone and ran into a trap!"

"What are you doing there?"

Tofu Xishi looked around the corner.

"By the way, Sister Yue, didn't you say you wanted to see if there was any way to get the gold mine faster?"

"We have found a way."

I have just let the Pig System check it out. If you dig about one meter deeper on the right hand side where no one is digging, you will find a large amount of gold mines.

Feng Qingjiu smiled slightly: "Sister Xi Shi, you know what, I really found it!"

Tofu Xishi opened her eyes wide and said, "Oh...! Sister Yue, tell me quickly, what's the solution?"

Feng Qingjiu pointed to the uninhabited area on the right and said, "Now have everyone dig in this direction."

Looking at the area on the right that was all stone, Tofu Xishi frowned and said, "Sister Yue, this is all stone, where is the gold mine?"

Feng Qingjiu: "Sister Xishi, I am not satisfied with what you said. My ancestors specialized in studying Feng Shui, especially the Feng Shui of these gold mines. I have learned a lot."

System: [Oh my, someone is starting to make up stories again. Host, I think you can be a screenwriter, not an actor! ]

Fengqingjiu: [Get lost! ]

"When looking for gold mines, is there any consideration of Feng Shui?" Tofu Xishi was full of confusion at Feng Qingjiu's words.

Feng Qingjiu's eyes were firm: "Of course, everything has Feng Shui."

"I just took a closer look at the corner."

"Look! Doesn't the whole shape here look like a dragon?"

"Dragon...?" Tofu Xishi took a look and shook her head: "I can't see it."

Several other supervisors also shook their heads.
