Chapter 588 Searching for someone
Yan Li's expression froze when she heard this. She didn't expect that the people in this small town would repay kindness with enmity.
"Erya, what are you talking about? You seem so happy." The shopkeeper came over and looked at Erya with a warning look.
"Mayor, Erya said that you just purchased a magic pig. Is it true that we will have magic pork to eat tomorrow?" Yan Li raised her head and looked at the shopkeeper with anticipation.
Why did Yan Li know that they had just acquired a demon pig? She saw it when she scanned with her mental power just now.
The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Why does this child only think about food?" The shopkeeper looked at Erya with a helpless look.
"Uncle shopkeeper, I didn't mean to tell others about the magic pig. I just thought that if my sister bought some of the magic pig meat, I might be able to eat some." Arya said as she lowered her head in shame.
"Erya, don't worry. If the shopkeeper is willing to sell it, we will buy a piece of magic pork tomorrow to try it." Yan Li said with a smile.
"Of course I would. There are not many people in this town who can afford the magic pork." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.
"Then I really have to thank Erya for telling me this news." Yan Li's eyes were full of joy when he heard it.
After dinner, Yan Li and the others booked two rooms and went back to rest.
"I didn't expect that Erya is quite popular with these outsiders." After Yan Li and the others returned to their room, the waiter sighed as he looked at Erya sitting at the door of the inn.
"Waiter, be careful with your words." The shopkeeper stopped him immediately upon hearing this.
"Erya lost her parents when she was young. That girl is kind-hearted and she probably felt sorry for her. Besides, people from outside are different from us. They don't lack food." The shopkeeper continued.
"Boss, if they don't leave, the curse-sending ceremony will be held tomorrow night. What should we do if they find out?" The waiter said worriedly.
"I'll try to persuade them to leave tomorrow." The shopkeeper said with a sigh.
"Erya, aren't you going back yet?" The shopkeeper asked when he saw Erya still sitting at the door of the inn.
"Uncle shopkeeper, I decided to wait here. My sister promised to give me magic pork tomorrow." Arya raised her head with anticipation.
Shopkeeper:...
It seems that Erya's heart and eyes are really full of evil pork.
"Erya, go back and rest first. Come earlier tomorrow. It's cold outside." The shopkeeper said helplessly.
"Okay then." Arya got up and left after hearing that.
Before leaving, she looked at the inn with great concern.
At this time, Yan Li and the others had already left the inn in stealth, and the one sleeping in the inn now was the substitute made by Yan Li using the talisman.
The two walked around the town and found the mayor's house.
Yan Li and the other person looked at each other and sneaked directly into the mayor's house.
Yan Li and the others arrived at the door of a house which was still brightly lit.
They looked into the house and saw seven or eight old men sitting there.
“Mayor, Miss Dugu has always cared about us. She used to help us often. Although she disappeared for more than ten years, she thought of us as soon as she came back. We did this…” An old man sighed.
"Old Man He, do you think I want to do this? But if we don't, the people in our town will be trapped like this for generations, and will be poor from generation to generation." The mayor sighed.
"But Miss Dugu has helped us a lot." Another old man, Old Man Zhu, sighed.
"Since Miss Dugu has helped us so much, this time won't be a big deal." Old Man Qi said with a gloomy face.
The other old men fell silent instantly after hearing this!
Obviously they agreed with what Old Man Qi said.
"Mayor, Miss Dugu's only request is that we release the other three people..." Old Man He looked at the mayor.
"Why don't we let them go? We have already felt very sorry for Miss Dugu." Old Man Zhu said.
"No! Miss Dugu is obviously from a big family. Although everyone in our town is strong, they will definitely not be able to withstand the revenge of the big family." Old Man Qi objected coldly.
"Are we going to kill them all together?" a voice sounded, and Yan Li and the others saw the innkeeper walking in.
"Old Wu, why did you come here at this time?" The mayor frowned and looked at the innkeeper.
"You may have heard that two strangers came to the town today." The innkeeper walked to his seat and sat down.
"Yes, I heard they were an uncle and nephew?" The mayor looked at the innkeeper.
"Yes, but I think that girl is simple and kind, and should have nothing to do with Miss Dugu and the others." The innkeeper nodded.
"When will they leave?" The mayor frowned.
"I don't know. They are out traveling and won't leave so soon." The innkeeper shook his head.
"This is a bit troublesome." The mayor frowned even more tightly.
"Mayor, Miss Dugu and the others..." The innkeeper looked at the mayor.
"They are locked up in the west yard. There is a formation in the west yard and they can't escape. Now we are discussing how to deal with the other three people?" The mayor sighed after saying this.
He didn't want to kill them all, but he was worried about revenge from the big families.
Upon hearing this, Yan Li and the others outside the door ran towards the west courtyard.
When Yan Li arrived at the west courtyard, he found that it was indeed covered by a formation.
So Yan Li motioned Mo Cheng to follow her.
When they entered the yard after twists and turns, they saw Dugu Ying and the others tied up there in a weak state.
"It's my fault that I harmed you." Dugu Ying looked at the three people around her with an apologetic look in her eyes.
"Miss, how can you blame yourself for this? It's those ungrateful people who are ungrateful." Uncle Li comforted her.
"Mom, don't say that. We will be fine." Xiushan said.
"Aunt Ying, I always feel that Li'er will come to save us." Wu Xiaoxiao showed a smile on her face.
At this time, they were all poisoned and had no strength at all.
"I don't want her to take the risk to come here, but I'm worried about you." Dugu Ying's face was full of confusion.
"Aunt Ying, we are here." Yan Li spoke immediately after hearing this.
"Li'er, Li'er is here." Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard that.
After Yan Li untied the ropes for them, she put them into the space first, and then took out the substitute talisman to create three substitutes for them.
After doing all this, Yan Li and Mo Cheng looked at each other and left.
The next day.
Yan Li and the others came out of their room as if nothing had happened.
"Miss, did you have a good rest last night?" The shopkeeper looked at her with a smile.
"I have to say, your town is very peaceful. I slept very well." Yan Li said energetically.
"I'm glad you slept well. Early this morning, our inn stewed pork soup. I wonder if the young lady is interested?" The shopkeeper looked at Yan Li.
"Pork soup? This is great. Is Erya here?" Yan Li's eyes lit up when he heard that.
