I saved the undead for 100 years in Dajin

Chapter 38 The Mother and Daughter Hiding in the Cellar

Yuan Zhan looked carefully at the light, and found that the girl was actually very beautiful, probably because she had been hungry for a few days, and because the cellar was damp and cold, her face and lips were a little pale.

Behind her was a little girl, about six or seven years old, her little face was smeared with mud in streaks, her big eyes were wide open, and she looked at him pitifully.

There is also an elderly woman with gray hair, a beautiful woman in her forties, and several girls and women of different ages who look like servants, all of whom are powerless with them.

Yuan Zhan looked pitiful, so he took out the biscuits from his arms, stepped forward and handed them to the little girl, saying, "You're hungry, let's eat some biscuits first."

The little girl looked to her mother and asked if she wanted to pick it up.

The woman swallowed her saliva and said, "Thank you, sir."

After taking it, he divided the cake into two pieces, handed the small one to the little girl, and the big one to the woman, and said, "Mother, take a bite for each of you, and spread it evenly."

The woman took the cake, gave it to the old woman to take a bite first, then took a bite herself, chewed it slowly, and passed it to others.

Everyone was very obedient, and when it was their turn, they took a small bite, and when the cake returned to the woman, there was still more than half of it left.

The woman hesitated for a moment, but she was not willing to eat, so she carefully stuffed it into her bosom and stored it.

They probably didn't expect that there would be such a day when so many people would eat a piece of cake. In the past, even a servant might dislike it to the point of throwing it away.

The woman put away the cake and smiled at Yuan Zhan. Although she was in such a desolate situation, she still perfectly displayed her beautiful appearance and various charms.

"Officer, what's going on outside, how...how did you find us?"

Yuan Zhan said: "I heard the sound of walking, so I came down and took a look."

The woman suddenly realized, and cast a reproachful glance at the little girl, probably because the child was naughty and ran around in the cellar just now.

Yuan Zhan said: "What are your plans?"

The woman said: "We won't be able to get out for a while. The little girl has a request, and I want to invite the official..."

Yuan Zhan continued, "I want to eat."

After the woman hummed, she bit her lip and said, "As long as the official is willing to help us, little girl... my little girl is willing to accept all the conditions put forward by the official."

All the conditions should also include her people.

Yuan Zhan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but I don't know who you are yet, so I can't help you."

The woman hurriedly said: "The little girl's surname is Mu, and her boudoir name is Min. She is a distant relative of Mr. Yang in the prime minister's residence. It was only because of her family's decline that she came here to join her family. Unexpectedly, it was only half a year before she met this day." This is my mother, this is my grandmother, this is my daughter, they are all servants at home..."

Yuan Zhan said: "Where is your man?"

Mu Min said: "When the accident happened, I stayed with the Yang family and was killed by officers and soldiers."

Yuan Zhan looked at the cellar and asked, "When was this cellar prepared, and why is there such a design?"

Mu Min said: "Because my husband is living under someone else's fence, he has saved some savings for fear of being missed by others, so he quietly dug this cellar. He didn't expect that it would save our lives at a critical moment."

He pointed to the two black lacquered wooden boxes next to him, and said: "If you don't mind the official, just take it away, just ask for the lives of our mother and child."

After speaking, he dragged the little girl and knelt down in front of Yuan Zhan.

The others quickly knelt down too.

Yuan Zhan came to the box, saw a lock on it, squeezed it lightly with his hand, and unscrewed the lock. He opened the lid of the box and saw that there were some gold and silver; in the other box, there were two pieces of porcelain and some scrolls. All are antiques.

Seeing his clean and neat way of unlocking, Mu Min was startled, but she didn't dare to show it, she still begged softly with her eyebrows down.

Yuan Zhan closed the box, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll find a way to get you some food first. Remember, don't make any noise in the future. If someone finds out, I can't help you."

Mu Min thanked him a thousand times, lifted it up, and Yuan Zhan left without knowing when his eyes were empty.

Yuan Zhan didn't believe Mu Min's words completely, but seeing this girl was capable and generous, and cared about the overall situation, he decided to help them, especially with a child, it was hard to refuse.

When he came up, he just heard He Ping calling him, so he answered quickly and walked out.

He Ping said: "Yuan Zhan, my lord is going on a business trip. I just called your name, so hurry up and clean up."

"Tolerance? What's the matter?" Yuan Zhan asked.

He Ping said: "I don't know. I'm just waiting there, I'll know when I go."

Yuan Zhan looked in the direction he was pointing at, and saw that it was the official who had just sent an order to work overtime, and it seemed that he wanted to take revenge on him.

Before leaving, He Ping whispered: "Don't contradict them when you go, and be careful to wear small shoes for you."

"He dares."

Yuan Zhan snorted and went.

The officer didn't know who had received the order, so he specially seconded three foremen from the Bing Cao Division, and followed them to the back house of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

One of the servants was timid and asked as he walked, "Brother Guancha, where are we going?"

The officer said without turning his head, "Look for Yang Shijun."

Wu Zuo said: "Isn't he all... dead?"

The official said: "Nonsense, I still need you if you want to live. You said that this old thing is still a dignified prime minister. Anyway, there is no way to survive. It would be nice to come out and die, maybe you can get a whole body. In the end, you have to go He hid in the stable and was burned to death inside."

Wu Zuo said: "You want us to find a charred corpse?"

The officer turned his head, squinted at him, and said, "Why, you don't want to do it?"

Wu Zuo hurriedly said: "No, no, I just thought, if everyone is burned, where can I find it?"

The official yelled: "There is an order from above, and you have to look for it even if the burn is gone. There are so many nonsense."

Wu Zuo lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

The official took a look at Yuan Zhan and asked, "Aren't you pretty good at talking, why don't you talk?"

Yuan Zhan said: "A dead person, what is there to say."

The officer didn't react at first, but after walking two steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Who do you say is dead?"

Yuan Zhan said with a smile: "Of course I'm talking about the prime minister, how can I still talk about you."

The officer was furious and shouted: "My boy, if you dare to mock me, I think you are tired of work."

As he spoke, he wanted to swing a knife.

To be honest, in this special place, if he really wanted to kill someone, he could do whatever he wanted, and afterward, he just had to find an excuse to prevaricate it, no one doubted it.

But the officials were obviously mainly intimidating, and didn't really want to kill people.

So seeing that Yuan Zhan was unmoved, he was a little bit embarrassed.

Yuan Zhan ignored him and walked straight forward. When he passed a courtyard, he took a look at it intently, then smiled and said, "It's so powerful. Could it be that there is a treasury hidden here, and no one has discovered it."
