Chapter 881 The Best Bait
The waiter took Yin Yunting to the alley.
"I saw him go in here earlier."
He was very familiar with this place. After all, he was born and raised in the small town and had been traveling around since he was a child.
"Most of the houses here are occupied, and their lives are not very good. But there is a small house at the end of the alley. It used to be occupied by an old man. He had no children and died a while ago. No one lives there now."
The waiter lowered his voice.
It's just a small town here and there is no curfew. At night, there may be only one house in the distance with a lantern hanging outside, and there is no light anywhere else.
Everyone was basically asleep at this time, and it was so quiet around that the waiter was afraid that any loud noise would wake that person.
When he was hit before, he looked at the old man and felt that the other party was not easy to deal with and was quite scared.
The waiter actually thought that it would be better for such people to leave their town as soon as possible. He felt that the town was not safe if they stayed here.
"Okay, I understand."
Yin Yunting also whispered to him, "Little Second Brother, go back."
"Don't you want me to accompany you into the alley to have a look?" The waiter was stunned. He had originally thought that he would need him to lead the way in. The alley here was not nice at all. It was so dark that it was impossible to see anything.
"No need, we'll just go in later."
The waiter hesitated for a moment, then said, "I didn't say it in the tea and fruit shop just now, but I wanted to thank your senior sister or junior sister? That girl is really amazing. She said that when I go home today, there will be a big happy event at home. She really came right."
"So, if you need anything from me, you're welcome."
Although he was afraid, he still felt that he had to help.
He hated the domineering old man who stole his charcoal for a few copper coins, but he naturally liked people like Lu Zhaoling.
"Is there a happy event at home? Congratulations. Then you should hurry back, your family must be waiting for you. We are many people, it will be fine."
Yin Yunting repeatedly asked him to go back, so the waiter did not insist and went back with his things.
Lu Zhaoling and the others went to the inn.
Qingbao brought Xiaoou and Doudou back, saying that they were going to pack up their things. In fact, after the two sisters came back, they only carried a small bag each, and the cloth on the bag was patched.
"I've booked a room for you guys, too."
Lu Zhaoling said to the two sisters, "Is your uncle and aunt's house crowded? It would be troublesome for two sisters to live here. You should stay here tonight and have a good rest."
"Tomorrow your uncle and aunt will take you to Southwest City when they are ready."
Xiaoou originally thought that they would have to spend the night in the kitchen of their cousin's shop. There was really no room in their house, but the shop was too cold, so they could only stay in the kitchen stove with the residual warmth of the fire.
She was worried all the way about whether Doudou could hold on.
I didn’t expect that they could actually stay in the inn!
Moreover, Lu Zhaoling asked Qingyin to prepare hot water for them.
Xiao Ou looked at Lu Zhaoling with red eyes and bowed to her again.
"Ms. Lu, I don't know how to thank you. I will do my best to repay you for your kindness in the future."
Lu Zhaoling waved his hand.
"Don't bear such a heavy burden. Live a good life in the future. That will be your repayment to me."
She looked at Doudou again.
"You two sisters were favored by that old man because you two have some spiritual energy."
"Aura?"
"Yes. However, what will happen in the future depends on your luck. Don't think too much now. The old man will not have the chance to see you again in the future. Don't worry about that."
Lu Zhaoling actually knew that she might come to the southwest again.
Because the issue of the barbarians and bandits slaughtering the village has not been resolved yet. Wait for Captain Su to reorganize the garrison, and then wait for the emperor to receive information about Jiang Ren and others and pass the order to the southwest. There will eventually be a battle between the southwest and the barbarians.
She was going to meet the barbarian's high priest.
Therefore, she will go to see the two sisters when the time comes.
Xiaoou took Doudou out.
"Miss, Mr. and Mrs. Bai Si are such bad people! They let Xiaoou and her sister live in a small firewood room. They only have one quilt, which is very thin, and the cotton wool inside is all in clumps."
Lu Zhaoling had already known that her uncle was a good-for-nothing.
"Don't worry, he didn't end well either."
"Is Lu Song back?" Lu Zhaoling was still waiting for Lu Song and Yin Yunting to come back.
As soon as she finished asking, Lu Song came back.
"Senior Sister, I got the silver note back." He handed over the fifty-liang silver note.
Lu Zhaoling took it and handed it to Qingyin to keep.
"You didn't steal it back?"
Lu Song shook his head. "Of course not. After Bai Si got the banknote, he went to find someone to gamble with."
This man is heavily addicted to alcohol and gambling.
"I paid a tael of silver to bribe a scoundrel who was gambling with him, and persuaded Bai Siyi to bet."
And then he won.
Fifty taels were won back.
Qing Bao was a little curious, "He really bet fifty taels just because he was coaxed into it?"
"Bai Si is going to lose money today," Lu Song said, "and his luck is extremely bad. Plus, the wine he drank was already getting to his head at that time, and he felt dizzy and lightheaded, and he lost his mind once he was coaxed."
This kind of person cannot stand being provoked.
Lu Zhaoling laughed, "Junior Brother Lu, you have passed this level. Go and take a rest. When Senior Brother comes back, we will go find Old Man Gong."
She asked Qingyin and Qingbao to rest as well.
Zhou Shiyue had already been sent by her to take a bath and rest.
She also has to draw the talisman herself.
Lu Zhaoling was calculating the talismans that he might need later. He spread out a piece of yellow paper on the table and quickly drew a large stack of them with his pen moving like a dragon.
"Sister."
Yin Yunting found the inn and saw the stack of talismans on the table. He couldn't help but say, "Where they are, there are six families."
"Not easy to do?"
When Yin Yunting looked at her talismans, he knew that there would be another big commotion.
He shook his head. "In order not to hurt the people by mistake or scare the elderly and children, we still have to lead them out."
He had just looked for a suitable location and thought it would be best to leave the town.
It's right at the entrance of the town. There's no one and no houses. It's not easy to hide or escape around there, so it's convenient for the eldest sister to perform her tricks.
"Are there two people here?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
"Yes. Old Man Gong, and a tall old man who is very alert."
"Then it is very likely to be Luo Yingchuan."
Lu Zhaoling stroked his chin and thought, "It may not be that easy to lead these two people out of town."
Zhou Shiyue strode in.
"What's the problem? I'll go."
Both the sister and the brother looked at him.
Yin Yunting nodded, "The prince is a good bait."
Since it was those two people who cast the spell, they naturally couldn’t remain calm when they saw Zhou Shiyue.
