Yuanshin: The duty of the inspector is to eat melons

She immediately stopped caring about him, and walked to another wooden cage nearby, and there were two more cracking and cracking sounds, and the faint smell of wood wafted in the air.

Without even giving the people inside time to react, Tavernaar has already moved towards a new cage...

The seven children came out of the cage one after another, as if in a dream.

Such a violent rescue method made the children let down their vigilance, especially when Tavernaer led them to climb out of the basement and saw three people who were bundled up and thrown in a corner, they completely believed in Taverna Er is the hero sent by the Adventurers Association to save him.

"When will I see my mother..." The children cast their eyes expectantly, and Tavernall looked at the three people in the corner, not sure if their accomplices would come after he took the children away like this save people.

She remembered that there was a pole in the kitchen for carrying water, and she made a decision.

But the road at night is not easy, and she herself said that she couldn't take care of herself with so many children, so she went to the kitchen to cook a new meal, filled the children's stomachs, and spent the night on the spot until the next day. Ri Tianming set off with people.

Seven children surrounded her, the oldest two were in charge of looking after the younger ones, and Tavernaer carried the family of three on his shoulders with a pole, and the group marched mightily towards the nearest Qianyan Army outpost.

This group of people went to the outpost early in the morning to call for someone, and the Qianyan Army who was in charge of guarding was full of question marks, until the children told each other about their experiences, and the Qianyan Army realized the seriousness of the problem Sex, immediately reported to the person in charge of the outpost.

Not long after, the person in charge ran out in a hurry, and at a glance he saw that Tavernaar was the leader of the group of children.

It doesn't look like a local of Liyue... With this thought in mind, he looked at the pole and the people hanging on it beside Tavenal. sweat.

A beautiful figure walked slowly behind the person in charge. Tavenal's eyes paused for two seconds on the other person. He had already recognized the other person in his heart, but his face remained calm.

Yelan, why is she here?

With this question in mind, Tavernaar raised his chin to signal the trafficker over there, and briefly explained how he stayed overnight and found out that the other party was plotting something wrong. Packed up the bad guys also found the story of the basement.

Highlight a heroic tourist who sees injustice and eliminates women who do evil.

"Sister Tavenal is a good person, a hero!" The children echoed, as if they had already worshiped her as an idol.

Tavernall?

Yelan looked at the girl with silver-white hair and ice-blue eyes, all kinds of information about it came to mind, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

Chapter 19 The Belated Pursuit

"In short, I am very grateful for your generous help. We will report to our superiors and give corresponding rewards."

The person in charge of the outpost promised that there has been a small concentration of missing persons recently. As a field monitoring outpost, he has undoubtedly received orders to pay attention to this situation. But it's a good opportunity to be promoted.

Even if it is not as exaggerated as a promotion, the resume will add a sum.

Therefore, he can be said to be polite to the one who gave him credit.

It's just that Ye Lan, who turned his eyes away and didn't speak, just looked at their negotiation, his high emotions subsided a little.

I hope this big man can get a piece of his pie.

After listening to the children's testimonies, Ye Lan still remembered the case reported to him recently, and said kindly to the children, "Which one of you knows a child named Xiao Mingdi?"

Tavernaar was also focused and pricked up his ears.

There were obvious expressions of excitement on the faces of two children. They looked at each other, and one of the taller children said: "Sure enough, Xiao Ming called for a helper for us. I said she would not abandon us. !"

"Great, Xiao Ming saved us, now my parents won't let me play with her! I really want to go back quickly, tell them this, and then go find Xiao Ming!"

"Hmm! She must have missed us too!"

Tavernaar looked at the joy on the boys' faces and turned his head.

Yelan walked to them and squatted down, gently touched their heads, "Can you tell my sister how Xiaoming separated from you?"

"Okay!"

In this way, the two children complemented each other and restored what happened that day.

Lili and Xiaozhi are neighbors, and they have a good time with Xiaoming who is across the street. They even formed a treasure hunting team. team leader.

"Xiao Ming wants to find a lot of treasures, and then take her mother to live in a big house." Xiao Ming always said this.

They knew that Xiao Ming's father was a bad guy who often beat Xiao Ming and her mother. If Xiao Ming wasn't very flexible, he would probably have a lot of bruises like her mother.So they support Xiao Ming not to have a father after earning money.

That day, when they arrived at the agreed secret base, Xiao Ming arrived earlier than them, but there was a lot of dust on her body.

They played their favorite game as usual, the game they played every day to practice their treasure hunting skills-hide and seek.

This time it was Xiao Ming's turn to be a ghost in the lottery. Li Li and Xiao Zhi hid, but Xiao Ming did not come to them. After waiting for a while, the two children walked out of their hiding places and saw a man who did not know an adult hugging him. With Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming seemed to be asleep, motionless.

The adult saw them and asked them if they knew Xiao Ming, saying that Xiao Ming seemed to be sick and wanted to take her to see a doctor.

Li Li and Xiao Zhi, who were worried about Xiao Ming, went with them.The adult led them to a small alley, and several adults followed immediately. Lili and Xiaozhi were frightened and wanted to run away, but their mouths and noses were covered with towels.

When they woke up again, they were tied up and stuffed in a carriage, surrounded by mountains and forests that were far away from the town.

The children finally knew that they had met a villain. After panic and fear, Xiao Ming found a piece of broken porcelain stuck in the gap of the board. Cut the rope on Xiao Ming's body.

Xiao Ming, who lost his bondage, originally wanted to help his little friend untie the rope, but just at this time, he heard the driver in front say that the time was almost up, and he had to go to the back to check. The three children did not hesitate much, and quickly made a decision , escaped from Xiaoming, and asked adults and Uncle Qianyanjun to help.

Taking advantage of the moment when the back door of the carriage opened, Xiao Ming, who was hiding behind, stabbed the trafficker in the eye with a piece of porcelain, rushed out of the carriage, and ran towards the forest.

Lili and Xiaozhi were slapped several times, but the person sent to chase Xiaoming did not come back. The two of them were taken to the wooden house in Tianheng Mountain and locked in the basement. After that, several people came one after another. Children, but there is no Xiao Ming.

"Great, she must have run away, and she will bring someone to rescue us soon." Lili comforted everyone like this.

"What if she can't find you?" Some children didn't believe it.

"Xiao Ming is best at hide-and-seek, and best at finding people!" Xiao Zhi firmly believed.

So, as the days passed, when despair gradually enveloped these children, Tavernall came.

The white-haired sister can break the cage with one hand, like a hero in the story, leading the children out of the dark basement.

"Sister, you are the person Xiao Ming found!"

Lili and Xiao Fei looked at Tavernar expectantly, facing their eyes full of joy, Tavernaar breathed in silently: "Yes."

In a sense, yes.

She stopped, with the one in her mouth but still unable to speak.

Yelan called two of his subordinates to send the children back to Liyue Port. Seeing Lili and Xiaozhi, who were chattering enthusiastically, go away, Tavenal turned and prepared to leave.

"Don't leave in a hurry, don't you want to find Xiao Ming?" Ye Lan called to stop her from behind.

Tavernar looked back at her, and Ye Lan gently brushed the hair on her temples, looking at Tavernaer with firm and confident eyes.

"If you think it's appropriate." Tavernaar stopped his pace.

According to the description of the two children, they went the wrong way from Mount Tianheng to Liyue.

"They use horse-drawn carriages to transport people, so these few routes can be ruled out, and among the remaining few roads that pass through the woods, only these two remain." Ye Lan pointed to the road drawn on the ground. Easy map analysis.

"Do you want to split up to find faster efficiency?" Tavenal stood by, staring at the two routes, and had memorized them.

"No, I probably know which way they are going." Ye Lan said to herself.

Tavernaar didn't ask her why she was confident, and just followed her along the road.

They saw the woods and began to examine carefully along the road.

"There are traces of trampling here, although it's been a long time." Yelan pushed through a tuft of grass, and kept changing her direction in the woods with her rich tracking experience and keen observation skills. I followed behind, and I could imagine a little girl walking through it.

She is small in size, able to pass through many places that adults cannot pass, and flexibly dodges the chase behind her, and her small body is wiped out by the branches and leaves in the forest.

"Go this way." Ye Lan twisted a thread of fabric hanging from a branch, and looked towards a steep slope outside the forest.

Such terrain...

Even though he already knew the result, when Ye Lan and her found the body of the child under the cliff, Tavernall still felt as if his heart was being grabbed——

"The skull is broken. This is a fatal injury. There are still many fractures on the body. The most serious one has been dislocated. However, because of the precipitous location, it was not eaten by wild beasts. It is much better for those who died in the wilderness."

The coroner reported the results of the examination to Yelan in the corridor, and they had already returned to Liyue Port.

Another subordinate of Ye Lan came to report, he hesitated a little when he saw Tavernaer, an outsider, and after receiving the eyes of the boss, he said straightly: "Wang Liuxing recognized it, it was he who sold his daughter to the second son of Yanshang teahouse." From the owner."

Ye Lan snorted, and then looked at Tavernaar: "The matter here has been settled, do you have anything to add?"

"The child's body has been inspected." Tavernaar was very serious, "I will take her away to the Hall of Death."

Chapter 20

In the Hall of Rebirth, the hostess at the door was the same as last time, and he recognized her at a glance.

"Has your hall master returned?" Tavernaar asked.

"Just arrived last night. Are you looking for her?" Miss Yiguan smiled, turned around and opened the side door of the Hall of Rebirth, "If you don't mind, please come with me."

Tavernaar didn't have those taboos, and followed into the Hall of Rebirth.

In the small courtyard, Hu Tao was lying on the stone table, holding a writing brush in his hand, hovering over the paper like that, muttering words in a low voice, but stopped before the tip of the pen touched the paper several times , frowning from time to time.

Is this poetry?She remembered that Hu Tao did have this hobby, and that he and Xing Qiu were close friends in this regard, and they often got together to compete and discuss.

"Master, you have a friend visiting." Seeing that Hu Tao was obsessed with her own world and couldn't help herself, the younger sister of Yiguan had no choice but to remind her.

It was only then that Hu Tao noticed that there were two more people in the yard. When she saw the appearance of the comer, the corners of her brows and eyes were tinged with joy, and she immediately jumped off the stool, "Oh, isn't this Tavernall? You are very well informed. You just came back yesterday and you came up a few days ago, come, come, sit here."

She pushed Tavenal to the stone table, turned her head and smiled and said to the hostess: "Miss Miao Miao, help me to make a pot of tea, and Mr. Zhongli just got some good tea from someone else a few days ago, do you remember where he put it? "

"Okay, okay, I know you're thinking about it, so I'll look for it right away." The hostess called Miao Miao responded with a smile, feeling quite helpless for her young boss.

Hu Tao first took Tavernaer to discuss her masterpiece on paper, but Tavernar really didn't study poetry, so he could only express a few opinions based on what the teacher taught him in his previous life. My friend, the more I talked, the more excited I became, and I also said that I would pull her to join some poetry club.

It wasn't until Miao Miao brought the teapot and served a cup for each of them that Hu Tao asked about Taverna's visit.

"I would like to ask you to help take care of the funeral for the two of you." Tavernaar took a sip of tea, feeling a little astringent in his mouth, but the aftertaste was so long that one couldn't help but take another sip.

"Oh?" Hu Tao looked like he was willing to hear more about it: "Tell me about the specific situation, name, date of birth, and address."

"You know." Taverna paused, then continued when Hu Tao innocently blinked: "Xiao Ming and her mother."

"Xiao Ming..." Hu Tao paused slightly, "Did you find her body?"

Tavernal nodded, and told about what happened to him, and when he finally found Xiaoming's body, even Hu Tao, who was used to life and death, couldn't help but sigh.

"It was hard to escape from the traffickers, but finally died in the countryside. How would the rescued two children feel when they found out..."

Hu Tao didn't go on, they all knew the answer.

"Leave it to me." Walnut drank the tea and looked up at the sky.

The time soon came to the chosen day.

Xiaoming's family has no relatives, and the elders of the two families passed away a few years ago. Now because of his father's gambling debts, the remaining relatives don't want to have anything to do with this family, so even if they sent someone to inform them, there is no one today. Come alone.

On the contrary, it was Tavernal, an unrelated, even stranger, who came. She stood silently in front of the two coffins, without much sadness.

In the empty mourning hall, the white candles were burning quietly. Walnut faced Xiaoming and Xiaoming's mother with clasped hands and closed eyes.

In the middle of the night, the crowds in Liyue Port had cleared up. They had already seen the white flag hanging outside the Hall of Rebirth. People who knew that there would be a funeral procession tonight had returned home early. They shut the doors and windows tightly, and turned off the lights and candles. quiet.

Hu Tao changed her usual laugh and wore a black uniform with a solemn expression. The hostesses carried two coffins and followed behind her. Tavernaar also changed into a long black dress and followed beside her.

On the way up the mountain, there was a drizzle, and the oil-paper lanterns appeared dimly in the rain and mist. The team moved forward quietly, dressed in black and blending into the rainy night. Looking from a distance, it seemed that they came from another world.

Tavernaer stepped on the gradually muddy mountain road under her feet, she didn't ask Hu Tao if Xiao Ming had gone to another world when she went out that trip, she planned to wait until the dust settled.

When they came to the pre-dug tomb, stacks of paper money were scattered, mixed with rainwater and fell into the mud. Because there were no relatives accompanying them, many steps related to this were omitted. Finally, Walnut ordered: "The time has come, and the coffin will be buried—— "

There was no crying like an ordinary funeral, and the whole process was very quiet. The light rain had stopped at this moment, and there was only the sound of soil hitting the coffin. As more and more soil was filled in, the sound became smaller and smaller. .

Finally, two bulging graves appeared in front of Tavernar.

The night wind passed through, and the rain-wet clothes were sticking to the skin, which was cold and clammy. Tavenal looked at Walnut, the silver moon was in the sky, and the girl nodded to her. The process had come to an end, and she returned with the hostesses.

Tavernaar walked beside Hu Tao, thinking about how to speak, Hu Tao seemed to see that she had something to say, put her index finger to her lips as she did when they met for the first time, and hissed.

"I'll talk about something tomorrow, and it won't be over until the sun really rises the next day."

In this case, Tavernall chose to respect the custom, returned to the hotel, and waited until the next day, when she came to visit again.

When she arrived, Hu Tao happened to be doing morning exercises in the yard. She did the very basic stretching exercises very seriously, as if she was enjoying it.

"Hey, when I've learned this set of gymnastics, I'll go find Qiqi."

Tavernaar was speechless when he heard her talking to himself.

But it seems that Walnut has returned to her usual state, relaxed and humorous. Seeing Tavernall's arrival, she really invited her to join gymnastics.

Tavenal pretended he didn't hear it, and sat down on the stone bench next to him without restraint, and cut to the point: "It's not convenient to ask yesterday, but you sent Xiaoming to Wuwangpo earlier, so has she already left?"
