1924 Escape 2 (2/2)

Si Qing did not say anything but nodded.

Heng Qing's gaze was one of despair. ”Who is the one who has captured us? Are they thinking of using us to make some potions? Or any other wicked tricks?!”

The children each shook their head. It had been almost half a month, and they had never seen anyone else. The people did not even prepare their meals. The best they had was having drinking water, which flowed out from one of the pipes of the house.

Those children came from privileged backgrounds. Little did they know that they would be confined here one day like pigs.

Si Qing approached a child who was named Ren Chongsheng and asked her softly, ”Where is my sister?”

”She has been put down by me, sheltered under the bed. She would wake up at daybreak.” Ren Chongsheng was concise.

Si Qing heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what happened, as long as his little sister was alright, she would seek help once realizing that her brother had gone missing. She would recognize the seriousness of the matter.

He was only afraid that his teachers would not be able to find the place even after knowing where he was at.

”You aren't Zichun's superior apprentice, right? I know that apprentice… So who are you actually?” Si Qing spoke with a low-pitched voice.

Ren Chongsheng turned her head to steal a glance at him and finally replied to him, ”You don't have to know who I am. I am just trying to figure out the man behind it all while helping you guys.”
