The boy followed the man into the carriage, and the people who called themselves father and mother also followed him. They beat the horse and walked towards the Yamen in full view of everyone.

The Yamen is two streets away from here. After turning the corner, the people around dispersed and went about their own business.

Zhou Yue followed quietly and saw that the carriage that was originally heading for the Yamen turned around and went to another alley.

After many twists and turns, the carriage stopped in a remote yard. Hiding in the dark, Zhou Yue saw the man and woman getting out of the carriage with the boy in their arms. The boy had fallen asleep at this time without any struggle.

Opening the gate of the yard, the woman carried the boy into the yard, and the man stopped at the door and gave a thumbs up to the man dressed as a scholar, "Boss, you are the best, this brat is not easy to fool around, you just look at him!" It will be settled when you go out, otherwise you really can't take it away in the public."

The man dressed as a scholar smiled slightly and took great pleasure in his younger brother's compliment. "Okay, you two should pay attention to the goods inside. Don't let them escape. We will send them out of the city tomorrow night."

"Don't worry, boss," the man patted his chest, "You guys will never run away!"

The scholar man got on the carriage again, and the carriage turned out of the alley. Zhou Yue secretly remembered the direction of the carriage.

Only the man who played the role of the couple was left at the door, and the woman hadn't come out since she entered the door with the child in her arms.

After the man entered the yard, Zhou Yue approached the wall on the side of the door and used her mind to check the situation in the yard.

This courtyard is not too big, it is a secondary courtyard. Zhou Yue probed through it with her mind, only to find that the man who had just entered, the woman and the child were gone.

Something is wrong with this yard!
Mind followed the man closely, and saw that he walked to the firewood house in the backyard, pushed open the door and lifted a stone slab from the corner, revealing a dark hole in the ground.

It turned out that there is a mystery underground, this passage leads directly to the underground, no wonder no one was seen in the yard.

The man entered the entrance of the cave, and Zhou Yue's thoughts followed behind. After walking a few steps, two oil lamps appeared on both sides of the passage, and the vision was better.

Going forward, there is a cellar-style space, in which there are simply two tables and a few small stools.

About a dozen children were crowded in a corner, including boys and girls, ranging in age from three to four years old to teenagers. Some were awake, while others were asleep.

Zhou Yue glanced briefly with her mind, and then paid close attention to the couple pretending to be husband and wife.

The woman poured a bowl of water from the table, took a few sips of it, and then complained a few words: "This little brat is quite cautious, and my throat is almost smoking after talking so much!"

"Okay, haven't we got this? The boss said that we will send them out of the city tomorrow night. There are some good ones in the goods this time, and they will probably get a lot of money." Thinking of this, a trace of emotion appeared on the man's face. I'm happy, I'll get the money tomorrow, and I can go to Zuihua Tower to have fun again.

When the woman heard about the silver, her expression softened, "Then let's stay here tonight to prevent any accidents." This is all money.

The man nodded, then sat down on a wooden bench and poured himself a bowl of water.

Seeing that neither of them had any intention of leaving, Zhou Yue could only use her mind to add some sweat medicine to the kettle.

After the two of them drank more than half of the pot of water, they realized that their heads were a little heavy and they fell to the ground with a "thud", which scared the sober children in the corner to tremble.

Zhou Yue realized that the two had passed out, climbed over the courtyard wall and walked to the entrance of the tunnel.

"What happened to these two people?" A little boy in the corner asked in a waxy voice.

The younger child next to him shook his head, "I don't know, it looks a bit dead." "Then shall we run out?" A little girl blinked and asked weakly.

"But we don't have the strength now."

They hadn't eaten much since they were abducted, and they had been given medicine. Their bodies were so weak that they couldn't run away at all.

"Ugh……"

Just when they were dejected, Zhou Yue walked in from the tunnel.

"Can you still leave?" Zhou Yue asked aloud.

The children huddled together and didn't reply at all. They thought Zhou Yue was with the kidnapper.

Zhou Yue was helpless, so she had no choice but to go forward and explain: "I'm here to rescue you back home," she said, pointing to the two people who fainted on the ground, "Look, they were stunned by my medicine."

After a moment of silence, an older boy tugged at the hem of his clothes and timidly said, "You...you really don't want to be with them?"

Zhou Yue nodded, "I saw these two people taking a little boy away on the street, and I felt something was wrong, so I came here to take a look. I didn't expect them to be kidnappers. A new little boy should have arrived tonight Bar."

The children nodded, and it was true that another boy was abducted by the kidnapper today.

"Brother, he shouldn't be a bad person." A little girl next to him said to the boy who just spoke.

She felt that Zhou Yue's eyes were very clear, she didn't have the eyes of those bad guys looking at her to estimate how much money she had, she only saw pity in Zhou Yue's eyes.

The doubts in the hearts of the rest of the sober children were almost gone, and now they all looked at Zhou Yue with some light in their eyes.

"My kind brother, we have been given medicine and have no strength. How do you think we can escape?" the little girl just now asked Zhou Yue cautiously, fearing that Zhou Yue would be afraid of trouble and leave them behind.

Zhou Yue walked up to her, squatted down, "Hold out your hand, I'll show you."

The girl stretched out her hand, her wrist was slender, as if it would be broken if she tried hard, Zhou Yue took the girl's pulse and quietly checked.

This was caused by Ruanjin Powder, but fortunately the dose was not heavy. In addition, Zhou Yue also found that the girl's body lacked nutrition, which was caused by long-term undereating and fatigue. There were also some old and new scars on the arm that took the pulse.

This girl looked to be only seven or eight years old, and she didn't know what she had experienced.

Zhou Yue took a deep look at the girl in front of her, and didn't ask anything. Covered by her sleeve, she took out some medicine from the space, and took out two packs of pastries bought outside, and shared them among them.

Picking up the teapot on the table, she changed the water in it, brushed it again behind her back, filled it with some pure water in the space, and let them all take a few sips.

In the end, she put medicine in the pot, and fed a few sips of water to the children who were still awake. These children should have just been abducted today, and they were just given medicine today, so they didn't wake up so quickly.

After about half an hour, the antidote began to take effect, and the children who had eaten the pastries regained their strength and helped each other stand up from the ground.

The person who stood up took the initiative to help lift the unconscious child. "Brother, let's go." The girl said to Zhou Yue.
