Please control me, my divine being!

Li Qinghe threw the wood-chopping knife on the ground, a feeling of weakness and exhaustion washing over her, along with an unprecedented sense of fear and nausea.

He killed someone himself.

They killed four of them at once.

The four corpses were neatly stacked in the corner of the yard and covered with straw mats.

This is what the other party did when I was being controlled by the mysterious force.

Everything was taken for granted.

When the battle ended in the blink of an eye, Li Qinghe finally accepted the terrifying fact that the one controlling her must be a demon!

He was a ruthless and vicious devil.

What's even more tragic is that if it weren't for the devil, I would definitely have ended up like the other abducted people today.

He didn't seem to want to see his novel toy die.

Oh, and there are still victims in the woodshed!

Li Qinghe's mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts, and she actually forgot the most important thing: she hadn't rescued them yet!

But before she could move, that force descended again and took over her body.

Li Qinghe's expression suddenly turned cold. He strode to the woodshed and kicked it open.

The children who were abducted by the matchmaker were mostly seven or eight years old, with the older ones being about the same age as her.

They were in a daze, and besides being forced to drink the "magic water," they were subjected to a lot of beatings and torture. If they dared to resist even slightly, they would be met with a barrage of punches and kicks.

Just look at their scars, and you'll know what kind of treatment they've suffered.

Li Qinghe used a machete to cut the thick hemp rope, but the others did not react.

After several unanswered calls...

Li Qinghe coldly raised her voice: "Dead, they're all dead!"

After the shouting.

One of the older girls finally responded.

She looked toward the door with some skepticism, but there was only silence. She tried to stand up, but there was no sound of the usual shouting and beatings.

So she walked out of the room shakily and saw blood splattered all over the yard and a corpse covered under a straw mat. Her long-suppressed emotions finally collapsed at this moment, and she squatted on the ground and wailed.

The crying moved others.

Soon, everyone in the courtyard except Li Qinghe was wiping away tears, their expressions incredibly complex.

For a moment, Li Qinghe felt that the matchmaker had died rather easily!

Emotional release is only temporary.

After regaining my senses.

The girl walked over, glanced at Li Qinghe fearfully, and mustered her courage to speak: "My benefactor, thank you... but the matchmaker has accomplices, we need to leave quickly."

indeed.

Li Qinghe recalled that when he killed the last person, the other person begged for mercy and threatened that his accomplices would seek revenge.

In addition to the account books and letters found on them, it is clear that human brokers are an organized group.

Li Qinghe really wanted to chat with her a bit more, but her body was out of control, and she could only give simple replies.

"Come with me."

finished,

She packed her machete into her basket, her clothes covered in blood, and strode out of the yard.

The children following behind her were even more terrified, filled with gratitude and fear.

This is a powerful man who just killed a matchmaker and three thugs!

They were just like the martial artists they had heard about from their elders since childhood, capable of taking on several opponents at once!

As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, several discreet gazes were cast their way. Seeing that it was actually two young girls leading several children out of the courtyard, many people were immediately filled with greed.

To know,

If you grab these little guys and turn them over, you'll make a fortune.

These people addicted to drinking "miracle water" have long since lost all sense of humanity and morality.

Li Qinghe, dressed in blood and with a cold expression, walked through the alley. The overwhelming smell of blood immediately dispelled the malicious gazes from the dark corners, calming them down.

The girl beside her also breathed a sigh of relief.

She had tried to escape before, but even if she managed to get out of the courtyard, she would be caught by the drug addicts in the alley and exchanged for the "miracle water" from the matchmaker.

Luckily, I have such a strong person by my side, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get out today.

Under Li Qinghe's imposing presence, the group walked out of the alley unharmed and disappeared into the night.

A moment later, a quick-witted thug from the alley quietly crept towards the courtyard.

Upon opening the door, he was first startled by the corpse covered with a straw mat, but his gaze was quickly drawn to the scent of the "miracle water" emanating from the courtyard.

The shock instantly turned into ecstasy.

He couldn't wait any longer, rushed to the large vat, and drank straight from it.

Once there's a first, there's bound to be a second.

Soon the courtyard became noisy and chaotic again. No one paid attention to the corpse in the corner. They were only concerned with rushing towards the magic water and even started fighting.

...

A dilapidated temple outside the shantytown.

Li Qinghe led the group of children into the temple, and the power that had been controlling their bodies receded like the tide.

She immediately gripped the temple door, began to feel nauseous and dry heave, and images of murder flashed through her mind.

The children were bewildered and at a loss.

Only the girl, who was about the same age as her, rushed to her side and handed her a piece of cloth that was relatively clean.

The noodles he ate had long been digested, and he couldn't vomit anything from his empty stomach.

Li Qinghe took the cloth and wiped the water from her mouth. She stood in front of the temple gate for a long time before the overwhelming nausea gradually subsided.

She gripped her sleeve tightly, stopping her slightly trembling fingers.

"My benefactor, are you feeling better?" the girl asked with concern.

"I'm fine, you can just call me Li Qinghe." Li Qinghe came to her senses and looked at the girl. "You two rest in the dilapidated temple first, I'll figure out a way to get you home."

By the end, Li Qinghe's voice had become much softer.

She herself wasn't much older than the others, and she had no idea or confidence about how to arrange things for them.

The only thing I can think of right now is to report it to the authorities directly.

The girl shook her head and said, "Sister Qinghe, you've already done more than enough by rescuing us. Leave the rest to me. I'll take them to the authorities tomorrow to report this to the authorities."

After exchanging a few words with the girl,

Li Qinghe then learned the other person's name: Jiang Chuling.

Judging from her speech and behavior, Jiang Chuling was clearly not from a poor family like herself. She had actually been to several large towns and was literate!

Li Qinghe took out the account book. "Then find out where everyone's home is so that the officials can take them home."

The children who were trafficked were of varying ages.

Younger children who are unsure of their home address can check it using the account book.

Then Li Qinghe took out a few small pieces of silver from his pocket.

This was obtained from the matchmakers and thugs; it wasn't much, less than five taels of silver in total.

She looked at the money with great reluctance, but finally gritted her teeth and kept only half a tael, stuffing the rest into Jiang Chuling's hand: "Take this money and use it on their way home."

Li Qinghe felt very reassured about Jiang Chuling.

The other party is knowledgeable and literate, unlike me. He is opinionated and much bolder than me.

They also got to know each other among the other abducted children.

Let her handle this matter; she's more suitable than me.

After giving his instructions, Li Qinghe returned to the town's clinic under the cover of night.

What she always cared about was getting her mother medical treatment.

Including the half tael of silver he had just left behind, Li Qinghe now had seventy-five coins, enough to get medicine for his mother!

As long as she takes the medicine, Mother will get better!
