Could they have hidden the children in the cellar, too?

The cellar was a good place to hide people. If they hid in the room, they would be easily discovered. If someone suddenly came to the house, it would be difficult for them to move them.

However, hiding them in the cellar was different. If someone suddenly came, they did not have to worry about being discovered. After all, who would look at someone else’s cellar for no reason? Su Li felt that she had found the truth!

Su Li looked around. The cellar was usually built in the courtyard. She hadn’t noticed that there was an entrance to the cellar in the courtyard just now.

Su Li walked out of the courtyard and began to search for the cellar. After searching for a long time, she did not see any sign of the cellar.

Did they not have a cellar in the house?

They didn’t hide the children in this house at all. Instead, they hid the children in other houses?

Something’s not right!

As soon as this thought appeared, Su Li quickly denied it. These people couldn’t have hidden the children elsewhere. According to their personalities, they would definitely hide the children under their noses.

Moreover, He Qingmu’s location was right here. There were only two possibilities. Either the locator had been dropped here, or He Qingmu was still in the house.

Since she couldn’t find anything in the courtyard, Su Li looked into the house. It wasn’t impossible for the cellar to be built in the house. After all, their cellar wasn’t used to store things, but to hide people. It was definitely the opposite.

With that thought in mind, Su Li started searching the house again.

This time, she searched very seriously, not even missing a corner. Soon, Su Li realized that something was wrong under the bed. There was a place under the bed that was different from the other bricks.

Su Li forcefully moved the bed away. As soon as the bed was moved away, sunlight shone in, and the color became even more obvious. Su Li knocked on the floor and realized that it was empty.

This is it!

Su Li was delighted. She had finally found it after searching for so long!

This board was a little heavy. Seeing that her hands were unable to move the board away, Su Li took out an iron hook from the interspace. She hooked the hook on the stone slab and pulled the board open.

The stone slab was lifted, revealing what was below. There was a black hole. The hole was not big, only wide enough for one person to enter.

Just as Su Li was about to take out her flashlight to take a look at the situation below, she heard a knock on the door.

“Ergou, open the door. We are back.”

Su Li narrowed her eyes. It seemed that their accomplices had returned. She came back at the right time. She had been worried that she would not be able to find the others. Now that they were back, she could settle them altogether.

“Hurry up! Why are you dilly-dallying?” The outsiders urged.

Su Li stood up, dusted herself, and walked out the door. At the same time, she prepared the silver needles and medicinal powder. She didn’t like to use force now. After all, there were easier ways to defeat the enemy. Why use those tiring methods?

Su Li reached out and took off the latch. She only opened the door a crack to let them in, but she hid behind the door.

The people outside didn’t find it strange. After all, they often did this. If the person inside opened the door casually, they would be the ones who would have doubts!

“What took you so long? Are you laying eggs inside?” The person started complaining before he even saw them.

“That’s right. You guys only opened the door after we had called for so long. If it’s winter, we’ll freeze to death outside.’

“I’m not laying eggs, but digging a hole for you,” Su Li said.

The person raised his head when he heard an unfamiliar voice. When he saw Su Li’s unfamiliar face, he questioned her.

“Who are you? Why are you here? Where are Ergou and the rest?”

People in their line of work would never welcome newcomers. If they really wanted to allow someone new to join, they would only accept people whom they knew very well. Su Li’s sudden appearance made them wary.

Su Li tilted her head and revealed a terrifying smile. She said coldly, “I’m your great-aunt.”

Just as the two of them were about to curse, they reached for their waists and prepared to draw their knives. However, Su Li did not give them a chance at all. She sprinkled the medicinal powder she had prepared over and stabbed them with the silver needles in her hand.

The entire process and technique were fast, accurate, and ruthless. There was no hesitation at all.

“You…”

The two of them felt a pain in their necks and fell to the ground.

The corners of Su Li’s lips curled up. She clapped her hands and said, “Your technique is a little slow. Try to be faster next time.”

Su Li closed the door again. At the same time, she isolated herself from everything outside.

Su Li used the same method to tie them up first.

She did not have the time to deal with them yet. She decided to take a look at the cellar first. She did not know if He Qingmu was inside.

Su Li entered the house and took out her flashlight to shine it into the hole below. Through the light, she saw that there were a few children tied together, including He Qingmu.

When He Qingmu saw the light, he could not help but squint his eyes. The other children were the same. They had been in the dark for too long, and the sudden light made them very uncomfortable.

Su Li went down the ladder to the cellar. When He Qingyao saw who it was, he was very excited and whimpered.

The other children did not know Su Li. When they saw her coming down, they could not help but shrink back.

Some timid children even cried, but their mouths were blocked, so rather than crying, they only made some subtle sounds.

Seeing this, Su Li hurriedly said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m not a bad person. I’m here to save you. Don’t cry!”

God knew that she was most afraid of children crying. Her head hurt when she cried.

Su Li first went forward to untie the ropes for them, then took out the cloth from their mouths.

“Mother, I thought I would never see you again!” He Qingmu hugged Su Li.

Su Li hugged He Qingmu and reached out to pat his back. She said softly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here now. No matter where you go, I’ll find you.”

He Qingmu burst into tears. Today, he really thought that he would never see his parents again. Those people wanted to sell them to a faraway place so that they would never be able to find their way home.

He Qingmu was crying, and so were the other children. Su Li felt her head buzz.

She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Su Li comforted her. “Alright, alright. Don’t cry. Haven’t I found you!”

He Qingmu did not listen to Su Li at all. He hugged her and continued to cry.

Su Li was helpless and could only use her trump card. “Stop crying. Everyone, eat a piece of pastry.”

When the children heard that there was food, they all looked at Su Li. When they saw the pastry in her hand, they couldn’t help but gulp.

Su Li gave them a piece each. As expected, these children completely quietened down..
