Chapter 58 Go out to find help

"When did Miss Lan'er go up the mountain?" Shen Qingtang asked.

"It was yesterday morning." The old lady remembered this very clearly.

"Lan'er went out early yesterday morning, but she didn't come back in the afternoon. If normal, she would have been back before noon."

"I thought something might have happened to Lan'er at that time, so I went to the mayor and asked him to send someone to help me look for her."

"The mayor promised me that he would send someone out to look for Lan'er, but the whole day passed and I didn't receive any news from Lan'er."

"I think the mayor also sent people out to look for other girls before, but they were not found in the end."

"I'm worried that Lan'er is in danger, so I have to go out and find her myself."

At the end of the sentence, the old woman's voice was choked with tears and there were a few tears in her eyes.

Shen Qingtang listened for a while and found that there was not much useful information.

The old woman neither knew the specific location of her granddaughter’s disappearance nor the information about the murderers.

"Old lady, it's too late now. If you look for her like this, you won't be able to find Miss Lan'er. Instead, you will tire yourself out. Why don't you go back first and I'll stay here to look for her."

"How can that be done? Lan'er is my granddaughter. I must find her. How can I trouble only you, young master?" The old woman was concerned about her granddaughter's safety, so she was not willing to go back like this.

Shen Qingtang suddenly remembered the scene in the mountains he saw when he was going through the thunder tribulation.

What if Miss Lan'er was caught and taken to that place?

There are so many people there, even if she finds Miss Lan'er, can she rescue Lan'er and the other girls on her own?
Shen Qingtang suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. She could not accomplish this matter alone.

She needs help, lots and lots of people.

Shen Qingtang had a vague hunch that those people might be related to Beiming Kingdom.

She had to leave here before she could find help.

"Old lady, the mayor spent more than two months without catching the murderer. How can you save Miss Lan'er alone? Even I can't."

"Old lady, we need help, help even more powerful than the mayor."

The old woman was a sensible person, and she listened to what she said.

"But young master, where are we going to find help?"

"Go to the county seat and ask the county magistrate for help. The mayor has blocked the news. We can't do anything now. We need someone to escape from the town and ask for help from the superiors."

Shen Qingtang looked at the old woman with some excitement, "Old woman, you are an old man in the town. Do you know of any place where people can escape quietly without being noticed by the mayor?"

The old woman thought about it carefully. After a while, she opened her eyes slightly and exclaimed in a low voice: "Yes, I know a place where I can leave Lingquan Town."

The young master's analysis was very reasonable. As long as the county magistrate knew about this matter, he would never stand idly by.

Her granddaughter is saved!
"Young Master, come with me, I will take you there right now."

The old woman was eager to save people, so she took Shen Qingtang's arm and started walking down the mountain, completely ignoring the pain in her body.

As she walked, she asked Shen Qingtang: "Son, my granddaughter's life depends on you."

After a while, Shen Qingtang felt something in her hand. She looked down and saw that it was a worn brown storage bag.

"Old lady, what are you doing?" Shen Qingtang was confused.

"Good boy, this is all my belongings. Now I give them all to you. I think you should be a young master from a wealthy family. I don't have many good things, so don't dislike it." The old woman said to her. She smiled.

Shen Qingtang returned the storage bag to the old woman and quickly refused. "Old lady, I took the initiative to help you. How can I accept your things?"

"Take it back quickly, keep these things for you and Miss Lan'er to use together in the future."

The old woman refused to accept it and forced the storage bag into Shen Qingtang's hand.

"Good boy, if you are willing to help me, it is because you are kind-hearted. Although I am an old woman, I also know how to repay a favor."

"Your trip is dangerous. If the mayor discovers that you have escaped, he will definitely send people to capture you."

"I can't just watch you take risks and enjoy the rewards. Just keep these things."

Shen Qingtang looked at the storage bag in her hand and was deeply touched. The storage bag was obviously very light, but she felt very heavy.

"Old lady, you gave me all your belongings, aren't you afraid that I will walk away and leave you and your granddaughter alone?"

The old woman smiled and shook her head: "I believe you won't. I've always judged people very accurately. My child, you are a good person."

The old woman looked deeply at Shen Qingtang, and a glimmer of light appeared in her cloudy eyes, shining directly into Shen Qingtang's heart. That was the old woman's trust and expectation for her.

Shen Qingtang nodded heavily: "Old lady, don't worry, I will never break my promise. I will definitely come back to save your granddaughter."

The old woman took Shen Qingtang through the winding path and finally came to a small river.

"That's it." She pointed at the river, "You can swim along this river to the outside of Lingquan Town."

"The roads leading outside the town have been guarded by the mayor. Now the only way out is through this river."

"Old lady, thank you. I will find someone to help as soon as possible."

Time is life. As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qingtang jumped into the river with a "pop".

The next moment, two people suddenly ran over from the woods.

They were the two people talking outside Shen Qingtang's house today.

When the two saw the old woman standing by the river, they thought she was trying to escape and spread the news. They immediately ran over and kicked the old woman to the ground.

The old woman's back hit a hard stone, and the pain made her unable to stand up.

"Damn old woman, what are you doing here!"

"You don't want to slip out of the river!"

The two of them have been looking for Shen Qingtang until now.

Not only did they not find Shen Qingtang, but they also found an old woman sneaking up to the river in the middle of the night.

The old woman turned to look at the two people, and then she recognized Wu Li, who had been working beside Zhao Shuquan all year round.

"Wu Li, you."

The old woman didn't know the other person, but judging from his appearance, he was definitely not a good person.

The old woman was sure that this person was definitely not from Lingquan Town.

How could a foreigner follow Wu Li on business late at night?

A fierce look flashed in Liu Hu's eyes, and he drew out the spiritual sword in his hand without hesitation.

"This old woman can't live if she sees my face."
