Chapter 259 Butterfly Valley

There were many people watching the fun around him. When Li Ji asked, he turned out that a child was naughty and untied the reins of the mule. As a result, the mule and the child who had caused trouble were gone.

The mule was not worth a lot, but Li Ji felt a depressed aura in his heart at this moment and could not be vented. This depressed aura quietly grew from the moment he climbed the land of the Twin Peaks. Instead, the mule came to tease him again and again, so he used the six consciousnesses to recognize the middle nose technique, smelled the fishy smell of the mule, and followed him.

After chasing, I chased for about ten miles and finally saw the mule in a small valley, soaking in the spring and enjoying it.

Li Ji was furious and waited forward to take out the guy and whipped it hard. After walking a few steps, he saw a pool of spring water in the valley, but he couldn't help but stop.

It was already late at this time, the bright moon was hanging high, and the cold moonlight shone in the valley. The strange scene made Li Ji, who had always been as brave as a fight, feel frightened.

The valley is very small, and at a glance, but only 40 or 50 feet in a radius. There are several rows of simple thatched huts near the stone wall. Nearly half of the valley is occupied by the water pool formed by a spring. The water pool is extremely shallow and aerosols are rising. It is obviously a hot spring, and hundreds of children are soaking it.

These children, if they observe carefully, can see the difference between normal children, either lacking arms and legs, crooked nose and squinted eyes, or choking like shrimps, or tinea dysfunction on the skin. They are all wearing loose linen robes and immersed in water; seeing Li Ji approaching, hundreds of pairs of eyes seem to make people feel inexplicably tight and cold.

At this time, Li Ji completely forgot the purpose of coming here, and only looked at these children. Like the beggar children I saw along the way, most of them were girls.

Until there was a noise around me, a girl dressed in a maid came over, with a hint of doubt on her sweet face, "Is there anything wrong with the gentleman coming here late at night?"

Li Ji came back to his senses, afraid that the girl would misunderstand these poor children, so he quickly pointed to the mule, "Miss, my mule was lost, so I found it all the way, without the owner's consent, I would be offensive, I would forgive my guilt and forgive me."

When Li Ji talked about mules, the girl smiled, "But it turned out to be a mule. When it first ran in, I thought it was a wild mule without a master."

Li Ji smiled awkwardly, unwilling to go into the water to disturb the child, so he whistled his lips and called the stupid mule over, but he didn't expect that the stupid mule would ignore him and just soak in the spring water, as if he was enjoying it.

The maid and girl were giggling after seeing it, "It seems that it doesn't listen to you..."

Li Ji was unable to do so, so he had to explain: "This mule is lazy, greedy and disobedient, so he will catch it sooner or later and whip it hard... Girl, I don't know where it is here? Why are there many children soaked in the water, not afraid of catching a cold or getting sick?"

"Mr. I was worried too much. This is Butterfly Valley. The children also soaked in hot springs. They have the effect of meditation and nourishment, but they will not get sick."

"Butterfly Valley? Is it the valley of Miss Huang Feiyan of the Huang clan?" Li Ji seemed to have heard a vague statement when he was talking to Miss Huang's family, so he asked this question.

"It was the lady's valley. Could it be that Mr. knows the lady?" The girl shouted when she heard this.

"I know, I just talked to Miss Huang just now, but I didn't expect to come to her territory so by chance... May I ask the girl's surname?"

It was abrupt to ask the girl's name, but Li Ji didn't practice for a long time in Fanshi, and some rules were not very clear. The girl hesitated slightly and replied:

"Qiaolian, just call me Qiaolian."

"Miss Qiaolian, I see these girls, I'm afraid there are hundreds of them? I don't know... "Li Ji really wants to know the origin of these girls, but he doesn't know how to ask.

Qiao Lian knew very well what he was thinking, and everyone who saw these girls would have similar doubts.

"These children were picked up by the lady nearby. The abandoned children of parents can fill their stomachs here and have hot springs to soak in. They can relieve the pain on their bodies. They are much better than being left outside and sold by human traffickers to beg for help... These are all children in the county. The lady often says that she needs to help more children, but how can she pick them up? Even if she picks them up, how can she raise them?"

"Your lady is kind-hearted..."

Li Ji felt a little moved that this world was not his previous life. Those who could do these things were truly good people, not to be kind and have a certain amount of financial resources for the sake of sensation. Otherwise, if you cannot do this, the dynasties in this world would not lend a helping hand.

"Miss, the lady also empathizes with each other and shares the same illness. Only the elders in the clan disagree. They also have to withhold the lady's monthly routine, saying that she was wasting money randomly. This time the lady went back to see if she could get some things. If this continues, I really don't know how long it will last."

Li Ji didn't know what to say. He suddenly realized that he had left a little irresponsible, and left such a kind disabled woman with no regard for just to make up her own cause and effect. Is this the Taoist practice no longer sympathizes?

From Qiao Lian's words, he could also hear some clues, the so-called empathy and the same sympathy? It is very likely that Huang Feiyan himself is a victim of Pufa Temple, so he tried his best to help these children with the same reason. However, these things and personal privacy are a girl, so she can't ask, and there is no need to ask.

"I may have to come back if I stop."

Li Ji turned around and walked back. Before he knew about this, he might have distributed Huang's property reasonably; but after knowing what Huang Feiyan was doing, it would be completely wrong to distribute it like this; but Li Ji had no intention of taking back the property to those branches, and he might not be able to do it. Even if he killed someone, he might not be able to stop people's greed.

But he didn't care. The zodiac's property was divided, but Li Ji's property was only more than that of the zodiac. He didn't know where to spend it before, but now he knew, he didn't mind taking out all his mortal family possessions, which also cost about 100,000 taels of gold.

A distance of about ten miles was just around the corner. The Huang family mansion was brightly lit and full of people. This time, Li Ji did not walk through the main entrance, jumped into the side wall and headed straight to Huang Feiyan's small yard.

Before we got close, we found that the originally deserted yard was now surrounded by people. The Huang clan members were yelling like they were injected with chicken blood. There was no need to ask or listen. It was obvious that this was the huge property of the old and young men who liked the orphans.

He secretly blamed himself for his mistakes and gave a huge sum of money to a woman who had no self-protection ability without any safety measures. If the stubborn mule had not been able to run to Butterfly Valley, he might have ended in failure this trip to the Double Peaks.

Resisting the murderous intent in his heart, Li Ji jumped onto the high wall, pulled out his sword and shouted:

"I count three times and don't leave, I will die...one, two..."
