Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 224 Leaving the bottom of the cliff

Further ahead, they encountered another stone chamber, but this one didn't contain a child. Instead, it contained many medicinal herbs and some tools for making pills.

Yunyi looked at each herb one by one. Many of the herbs here were of good quality. As for the herbs that were placed in the pool, she simply put them all into her space. Sigh, the space is a bit crowded now.

Her current wish is simply to have more space. She doesn't ask for much; large single-level apartments were popular in her time. She doesn't have such high demands; a small single-level apartment of 120 square meters would be fine too.

Ugh, Sixteen is such a troublemaker. I wonder when I'll be able to grant her wish.

Sixteen, sensing the boss's resentment, also felt aggrieved. There was nothing he could do; he didn't have enough energy. Besides, now that he had a physical body, he didn't know if he would be able to absorb energy from the main system in the future. So, he decided to just pretend he didn't know.

Inside this stone chamber is a suite, which, if you don't know it, is just like a bedroom, with a bed, table, chairs, and benches.

Someone must have been here before and taken some things away. In their haste, they knocked over the stool and didn't even straighten it. There were also some scattered papers around the charcoal brazier, which probably hadn't been completely burned.

Yunyi picked up each sheet and looked at them. They seemed to be some kind of diary, but because they were incomplete, she couldn't understand their meaning for the time being.

Let's just keep it for now.

There was nothing else, so he turned to leave. But as soon as he turned around, he kicked a small box. He bent down to pick it up, opened it, and found a reddish-brown pill inside with a fishy, ​​foul smell.

Is this what they call a beauty pill?

Let's keep it for now.

After leaving the stone chamber, there are a few steps ahead. Go up the steps, push open the wooden plank on the top of your head, and you will be outside.

The sky was already beginning to lighten.

Yunyi looked around. This was still the back mountain of Tianyi Temple, but it was in a different direction from the cliff. This place was in a forest on a slope, and she could vaguely see the village not far below through the forest.

"Who?" Just as Yunyi was about to go back, she felt someone spying on her from the side, so she kicked a stone at them.

Then a cry of pain was heard, and the man who was about to run away fell to the ground.

Yunyi walked over and stepped on the man who was about to get up, stopping him in his tracks: "What are you doing?"

"Heroine, spare my life! I'm from the village down below, I came up here to chop firewood," the man pleaded hastily.

Yunyi released her foot.

The man quickly got up, thanked the man, and prepared to leave.

"Wait," Yunyi called out to him.

"Is there anything else, heroine?"

Where is Qing Xuanzi?

“Fairy Maiden…” The man suddenly realized and hurriedly shook his head, “Where is the Fairy Maiden? How would I know?”

"Hehe." Yun Yi flicked her wrist, and with a jingling sound, the whip wrapped around the other person's neck. "I'll let you live if you tell me, otherwise you'll die."

"Heroine, spare my life! I'm just an ordinary citizen, I..."

“I have a photographic memory.” Yun Yi interrupted the other person with a smile. “You were one of the people who protected Qing Xuanzi when he left. You were behind Qing Xuanzi on the left side. When he jumped off the cliff, you were the third one to jump.”

The man's expression changed instantly. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He had thought that it was already dark and that he looked ordinary, so no one would notice him among so many people. Who knew that this woman would remember him so clearly?

“Tell me and I’ll let you go. Whether you go back or leave in anonymity is up to you. If you don’t tell me, then you’ll only die.” Yunyi said, tightening her grip.

The man's neck was instantly tightened, and he hurriedly grabbed the whip with both hands: "I...I..." His face turned red, and he began to have difficulty speaking and breathing.

"This is your last chance. Should you say it?"

The man nodded hurriedly.

Yunyi immediately loosened her grip and withdrew the whip.

The man was breathing heavily, and even bent over.

Yunyi gave him time to calm down: "Go ahead and say it, my time is precious."

"The fairy is right here..." The man stood up, suddenly rushed forward, and a knife appeared in his hand at some point, heading straight for Yun Yi's chest. "Die."

Yunyi's face darkened, and she lashed out with her whip again, striking the other person on the head.

His brains splattered instantly, and he died a definite death.

Yunyi frowned. She had intended to hit the other person's shoulder, but the other person suddenly swayed and the blow landed on their head instead. It really wasn't her fault.

Of course, this is good too, as it avoids the need for further fighting, which would be too exhausting.

He habitually examined the corpse, taking the steel knife and the two taels of silver from the man's body for himself. Then he climbed up to a boulder, from which he could overlook the entire village below.

The entire village is situated in a depression, specifically a circular depression. The houses appear to be built haphazardly, but when viewed from above, they form a Bagua diagram, with different roofs and trees arranged to resemble the eyes of a Bagua fish.

That's interesting.

This village must have been set up with a formation; even if an ordinary person went in, they probably wouldn't find anything, and might not even be able to get out.

I don't have time to look for people right now; I need to settle the children first.

When Yunyi returned, Hongyi and Tanzhu had already led the children out of the cave. With wolves and monkeys guarding them, there wasn't much danger.

Tan Zhu looked at Yun Yi with a somewhat complicated expression. How terrifying must a woman be to be able to control wild beasts?

"How are we going to get so many people out?" Hong Yi was a little troubled.

“So many helpers,” Yunyi said, pointing to the wolf pack and monkey troop. “Yicong only has fifteen children; there aren’t enough for them to share.”

Hong Yi's lips twitched: "But..."

"Guys, let's get to work." Yunyi waved her hand.

The monkeys came over first, and Monkey Sixteen directed his subordinates to each hold one of the babies. In the end, there were still a few monkeys who didn't get to hold one.

"Let's go." Yunyi waved her hand.

Hong Yi and Tan Zhu exchanged another glance, then hurriedly followed each other away from the bottom of the cliff.

"Tan Zhu, go find the young master later. He needs to take care of these children. I won't get involved." After leaving the bottom of the cliff, Yun Yi had the monkeys put the children on the ground.

Tan Zhu nodded, turned and ran.

"Sister Yun, I don't want to leave you." Shi An grabbed Yun Yi's hand. "Please take me in. I eat very little, and I can work."

"Sister Yun, I can too. I don't want to be with bad people." Youyou also came over and tugged at Yunyi's hand.

Although Lin Zi didn't say anything, he still came over and tugged at Yun Yi's sleeve.
