Chapter 340 Rescue
The child shook his head, bewildered. "They all say she's my mother, but I know she's not. Because she said I'm a bastard, not hers."
When Lin Shuyue heard his words, she nodded thoughtfully.
These two people really don't look like mother and son. After all, no mother would call her child a bastard.
She only saw disgust for the child in Lian Niang's eyes, not a trace of affection.
Moreover, the child looked no more than four or five years old, but his thoughts and ideas were very clear.
Although his clothes were ragged and his face was pale and thin, he just stood there quietly, giving people a different feeling, as if he didn't grow up in a bandit's lair.
"alright."
Lin Shuyue felt like she was going to let out all the anger she had accumulated this year today.
After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "What's your name? Do you know where those people captured by the bandits are being held?"
"Everyone calls me Gousheng. The sisters they captured are locked up in the cave next to us." The little boy pointed to the wall on the left.
Lin Shuyue nodded, and like a magic trick, she took out two ropes from her arms and tied up the unconscious Lian Niang and the eight-year-old boy.
After doing all this, she took Gousheng's hand and walked to the child who was still sitting on the ground crying and kicking the ground.
Looking at the child's dirty clothes and his gray, tear-stained, and snot-soaked face, Lin Shuyue held her forehead helplessly.
At this moment, she decided to temporarily abandon her conscience.
So, she bent down, looked at Gousheng with a smile, and whispered to him seductively, "Gousheng, why don't you take little brother's hand and walk together?"
Gousheng stared at her for a while, then silently reached out and pulled the child up from the ground.
Perhaps the child recognized Gousheng, so he stopped crying and stood up obediently to cooperate with him.
"Let's go." Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows in satisfaction and strode ahead.
As for the tied-up Lian Niang and the boy, Lin Shuyue said that they should wait for the government to deal with it.
There is another cave next to it, only five meters away.
This cave is longer and larger, and it slopes down. Going all the way to the bottom, you will reach the dungeon.
In the dim light of the oil lamp, she saw five girls in the dungeon who were tortured beyond recognition and covered in wounds.
They were lying on the thatch, unconscious.
Lin Shuyue thought to herself that something was wrong, so she cut the lock on the dungeon door with a sword and pushed it open.
She went forward to check on them one by one. They were covered with scars of varying sizes. Some of the flesh was turned outward and was red and swollen. When she touched their hot skin, Lin Shuyue guessed that they had high fevers because of inflammation of the wounds.
She glanced at Gousheng, who was squatting on the ground playing with his one-year-old child outside the dungeon, and took out a water bag from the space to feed the five people some water.
The water in the water bag is naturally not ordinary water, but has a few drops of Tianling Spring water added to it.
After the space was upgraded to a cultivation space, the effect of the heavenly spiritual spring water also underwent amazing changes.
Therefore, within a short while, the fever of the five people subsided. When they looked again, the wounds on their bodies were no longer red and even showed signs of healing.
Lin Shuyue once again secretly sighed at the miraculous nature of this Tianling Spring water.
You know, she only added five drops of Tianling Spring water to the water she just fed these five girls.
As she was exclaiming in amazement, the five girls woke up slowly. When they opened their eyes, they saw a strange man squatting in front of them. They screamed and subconsciously shrank back, hiding in the dark corner of the wall.
Lin Shuyue quickly comforted them softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. I've already dealt with the bandits outside."
Perhaps because they didn't believe her, the five of them remained silent, but just lowered their heads and trembled.
"Big brother is right, all the bandits outside have been caught." Gousheng had brought the child into the dungeon at some point and was helping Lin Shuyue speak.
Gousheng had once sneaked into the dungeon to bring them food, so after hearing what Gousheng said, they believed it a little and looked up at Lin Shuyue cautiously.
Lin Shuyue smiled gently, stood up, took Gousheng and walked outside the dungeon to wait for them.
"Ladies, please follow me. I'll take you out."
After hearing this, the girls looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then supported each other and stood up and left the dungeon.
After taking just a few steps, the five people realized something was wrong. The wounds on their bodies no longer hurt, and their heads no longer felt dizzy and groggy.
They quickly lifted up their sleeves to check the wounds on their arms and found that the wounds were actually healing.
Just as they were shocked and panicked, Lin Shuyue explained, "Don't worry, everyone. You were all unconscious when I came in just now. In a hurry, I fed you medicine. I apologize for any offense."
As for why the drug was so effective, she did not explain in detail.
After hearing her words, the five girls finally believed her completely. After all, they were just a broken body, and Lin Shuyue would not give them such precious medicine just to deceive them.
Lin Shuyue walked out with Gousheng. As for the little boy, after he stumbled and fell a few times, he was carried away by one of the girls named Yuxi.
Yuxi naturally did not feel sorry for the child. After all, no matter how pitiful the child was, he was still the child of a bandit.
The child's parents had harmed them to such an extent that she was able to resist killing him, which was already considered rational.
She just saw that her benefactor seemed to be worried about whether to pick up the child and leave, so she suppressed the hatred in her heart and shared her benefactor's worries.
Lin Shuyue brought five girls and two children back to the village. When she passed by the boss's house, she remembered the woman in the house, so she walked up and knocked on the door gently.
After waiting for a while and hearing no movement in the room, her eyebrows jumped and she immediately pushed open the door and went in.
Looking over at the couch, he saw the woman huddled quietly in the corner, staring at the ground in a daze.
Lin Shuyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she almost thought that this woman had lost her mind and done something stupid.
Seeing that she ignored her, Lin Shuyue left the room, found Yuxi and four other girls, and asked them to go in and communicate with the woman.
She thought that since they were both women and both victims, the woman should not resist their contact.
After waiting for a cup of tea, the door opened and Yuxi and others came out with the woman. The woman glanced at Lin Shuyue quickly and then lowered her head.
Yuxi stepped forward and whispered to Lin Shuyue, "My benefactor, this sister must have lost her voice due to being frightened by those evil bandits, so she can't speak."
After hearing Yuxi's explanation, Lin Shuyue cursed those unscrupulous bandits in her heart again. What a good girl was done to her by them.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If she hadn't promised Constable Liu to leave some of them alive, she would have wanted to get rid of the bandits tied up on the ground outside without any further ado.
