The barren capital was suddenly under martial law.
All the manors had sent more manpower, but the outer city could not control it.
Jiang Huai ‘an stopped school for a few days and was on duty every day. He often came back in the middle of the night, both physically and mentally exhausted.
The sky was getting dark, and the cold air was getting colder.
Jiang Huai ‘an entered the house, his body covered in cold air. Fortunately, the earth Dragon was set on fire in the house, dispelling some of the cold.
“Bring in a bowl of ginger soup. It’ll warm you up.” Xia Shi was sitting in the room with Jiang huailu in her arms, her eyes tired.
“Mother, don’t wait for me. You can sleep with Lulu first, those things have not come out these few days.” Jiang Huai ‘an drank the ginger soup and ate some food. He wiped his mouth and saw that his sister was already fast asleep.
“Any news? Have you found any traces of those girls? Huangdu is only so big, where else can he hide?” Xia Shi was very worried. Ever since the last incident, she didn’t dare to let Jiang huailu sleep alone.
Jiang Huaian’s expression darkened.
“I’m afraid they’re from the outside. Two days ago, he caught one, and he only managed to get a few words out before he committed suicide by consuming poison. It seems that they want to take people as sacrifices, and now they are still capturing people, I’m afraid there are not enough people.”
the age of the people who have been arrested recently has been declining. Yesterday, the youngest one was already six years old. Jiang Huaian’s expression was heavy, and Madam Xia suddenly hugged Jiang huailu tightly.
Most of the people who had gone missing were boys and girls between the ages of ten and fourteen. They were not of marriageable age and could be considered virgins.
Now that the city’s management was strict, the other party’s age would probably decline.
“What should we do now? mother was thinking that this is our first New Year in the barren capital. We’re going to celebrate and welcome the new. Last year, he was locked up in prison, waiting to be beheaded after autumn. The family cried every day and didn’t celebrate. This year’s days are better, but we encountered such an incident again.”
It was close to the new year, and it was a rare occasion for the despairing people of the barren capital to celebrate.
Recently, however, he had closed his door and rarely went out.
Even the Jiang family had added many guards, but everyone was still jittery.
Jiang Huai ‘an lowered his eyes and said, “that’s not a problem.” Now, the inner city had an idea to find a few young girls as bait, but they had to be flexible and smart. He’s currently looking for her. ”
Xia Shi hugged Jiang huailu and didn’t speak.
Her Lulu was very intelligent and was well known in the entire Academy.
“Because of the city Lord’s generosity, there are many people who send young lady in. But if his mental state isn’t good enough, I’m afraid he’ll be exposed.” If he was exposed, it would be even more fatal.
This required cooperation from the inside and outside, and one’s heart, courage, and insight had to be outstanding.
Madam Xia was silent and did not speak. She lowered her eyes and did not say a word, but her hands tightened around Lulu.
Jiang huailu woke up and looked at her mother and brother in a daze.
It seemed that the atmosphere at home was not right.
“You mean … Should Lulu go? Lulu is only four years old.” After a long time, Madam Xia’s eyes were red and her voice was trembling. She looked like she was struggling, but she still held Lulu firmly.
“I don’t have any thoughts of saving people in distress, and I don’t expect my child to have a great heart of love. Be it selfish or evil, I’m just a mother who wants to protect her child.” Xia Shi bit her lip and took a light breath.
Jiang Huai ‘an’s expression was dark, and his face was twisted from the conflict.
“Mother, do you think I’ll look good in women’s clothes?” Jiang Huai ‘an tried to raise his orchid-shaped finger.
Her orchid-shaped fingers were perky and straight, and her fingers were long and white. She was really slimmer than many girls..
