Chapter 243 Mother, Is This Okay?
Chapter 243 Mother, Is This Okay?
At this time, someone whispered a question, "Why don't we see the two sisters from Niu Chai Chai's family?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other villagers began to whisper, and echoed that the two sisters were not here.
Aunt Niu Qi's face suddenly changed, and she quickly explained: "The two sisters disappeared this afternoon. I thought they were afraid and hid at home, so I didn't pay much attention to it..."
At the end of her speech, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she seemed to realize that something was wrong.
Lin Congyun's face darkened completely. She waved her hand and asked someone to go to Niu Chaichai's house to check the situation.
Soon, the people who went to check came back, their faces all looked very unhappy, "Grandfather, there is no one here, and the person who let Huo Xiongcai go is also missing."
Apparently, the two sisters were the ones who opened the stone door and let the imprisoned person go.
I don’t know if there are any traitors among the remaining people in Nanyuan Village. Thinking of this, Lin Congyun’s face became even uglier.
The most important thing is that the entrance to the treasure has been found in the valley. If this news gets out and attracts more people, it will be troublesome.
Thinking about this, Lin Congyun looked at the villagers in front of him and said coldly: "Besides those two people, who else is missing?"
The villagers looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
Niu Qigu spoke up, "Old Madam, except for the two sisters from Niu Chaichai's family and that sister-in-law, everyone is here."
Lin Congyun turned to look at Niu Qigu again, and his tone softened a little: "Qigu, take everyone down first."
"Yes." Niu Qigu responded respectfully, then left with the villagers.
Lin Congyun looked at their backs with a deep and complex gaze.
She knew that this matter was far from simple, and there might be problems with some of these people.
But now is not the time to investigate, she has more important things to do.
Thinking of this, Lin Congyun turned to look at Fang Deyong and ordered: "Third brother, take someone to change the clothes of the soldiers around the second prince, and then..."
After hearing this, Fang Deyong looked confused again, "Mom, is this okay?"
Lin Congyun glanced at him and said coldly: "If there is anything wrong, do it quickly and don't waste time."
"Yes." Fang Deyong was scolded by his mother and didn't dare to say anything more. He hurriedly took people to get busy.
Lin Congyun took out an exquisite wooden box from the space.
Inside the wooden box is a delicate and lifelike human skin mask, lying quietly on the soft satin.
I had used this human skin mask to conceal my identity in the Second Prince’s mansion before, but I didn’t expect that I could use it again now.
After a while, Fang Deyong came back.
"Mom, it's all done."
Upon hearing this, Lin Congyun opened the wooden box and carefully took out the human skin mask. While putting it on his face, he said, "Bring the second prince's clothes here, and prepare a stretcher."
"Yes." Fang Deyong quickly asked someone to prepare everything.
Lin Congyun's technique was very skillful. He quickly put on the human skin mask, changed the second prince's blood-stained clothes, and then lay on the stretcher.
Fang Deyong looked at her like this and couldn't help but praise her: "Mom, your human skin mask is really amazing. It's simply the second prince himself."
Lin Congyun rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Hurry up and leave. Don't waste time."
At this time, Fang Xinyu and other children also ran over. They were shocked to see the Second Prince covered in blood standing in front of them.
"Uncle San, what is this?" Fang Xinyu looked at Lin Congyun with horror, her little hands tightly clutching the corner of her clothes.
"Shh, don't be afraid, this is your grandmother." Fang Deyong hurriedly explained in a low voice, afraid of scaring the children.
Fang Xinyu widened her eyes when she heard this and looked at Lin Congyun on the stretcher in disbelief. Is her grandmother pretending to be the second prince?
Lin Congyun blinked at her and a soothing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Fang Xinyu immediately understood that his grandmother was pretending to be the second prince. He immediately found it very interesting and the fear in his heart dissipated a lot.
"Uncle San, what is grandma doing?" Fang Xinxin asked curiously.
"Grandma is going to do something important. You should go to your mother quickly and don't make trouble here." Fang Deyong touched his head and said softly.
Upon hearing this, Fang Xinyu quickly took her two sisters' hands and said obediently, "Okay, we'll go back now."
Having said that, she walked back with her two sisters. They now knew that as long as they didn't cause any trouble to the family, they were helping.
Looking at their backs as they left, Fang Deyong felt very relieved that the children had grown up and become sensible.
At this time, Lin Congyun was already lying on the stretcher. She waved her hand, signaling Fang Deyong to leave quickly.
Fang Deyong quickly asked someone to lift the stretcher and walk towards the stone gate.
On the way, Fang Deyong asked again: "Mom, what's going on with those three tigers?"
Lin Congyun smiled gently, and that smile seemed mysterious and gentle under the mask. She slowly said, "Those three tigers were saved by your mother by chance. I didn't expect that they were so human and knew how to repay kindness.
I happened to pass by that day and saw that they were seriously injured, so I helped them. After they recovered, I wanted to release them back into the wild, but they seemed reluctant to leave and often lingered around the valley to protect us.
This time the situation was urgent, so I thought of them and asked them to follow secretly in case of any accidents."
"So that's how it is. Mother is really both wise and brave." Fang Deyong's eyes flashed with admiration when he heard this.
As the team slowly moved forward, the surroundings gradually became silent, with only the slight shaking sound of the stretcher and the occasional bird song breaking the tranquility.
Lin Congyun closed his eyes to rest, but his mind was quickly calculating every next step of the plan.
Soon, the stone door came into view. When the stone door opened, the soldiers guarding outside were shocked to see the Second Prince covered in blood. They rushed forward and said, "Second Prince, what happened to you?"
Lin Congyun covered his chest, lowered his voice, and tried his best to imitate the tone of the Second Prince, with a bit of weakness and majesty in his voice: "This prince was attacked and seriously injured..."
When he said this, Lin Congyun raised his head slightly and looked around, "Where is Huo Xiongcai?"
Huo Xiongcai, who was named, immediately came over from behind and said, "Second Prince, I am here."
When Lin Congyun saw Huo Xiongcai, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he asked in a cold voice: "Huo Xiongcai, you are so bold that you dare to collude with outsiders and murder this prince."
