After obtaining some general information, Fu Yuling didn’t rush to leave.
After all, she still didn’t know exactly where Li Cuihua was being held.
Listening to the villagers chatting casually, Fu Yuling focused her attention on the woman beside her.
The woman’s clothes were patched, her hands were covered with calluses, and her face was tanned from frequent exposure to the sun.
“Auntie, where is Li Cuihua being held? Why don’t you hand her over to the police?”
“What’s the use of handing her over to the police? I heard others say that the police just take people away and lock them up. This is a small matter that our village can handle on our own. Why should we hand her over?”
The woman replied with a low voice.
“What’s more, if we hand her over, we won’t be able to find the children anymore.”
The last sentence was the key point.
“But where is she being held? I remember my family member said it’s somewhere near the back mountain, but well, I don’t really know.”
It seemed that this was all the information the woman knew. Fu Yuling chatted with her for a while and then left.
However, she didn’t notice that someone had been watching her.
This time, she didn’t pretend to have no purpose and walked directly to the back mountain. There was only one abandoned house there.
She believed that Li Cuihua must be inside.
Before she could get closer, Fu Yuling glanced back with the corner of her eye and walked straight past the house without lingering around it.
She went deep into the area until the house was out of sight, and then she stopped.
There was no one behind her!
She realized that she had been careless.
Since Li Yan’s appearance, she felt an inexplicable sense of danger, which made her cautious about everything she did now.
But now it was all thanks to this cautious, otherwise she believed that if she had entered the house directly, she would have been the first one to be caught.
If that happens, it wouldn’t matter how much she explained it because the word “suspect” would be never removed.
In the end, she had still been careless.
Feeling a lingering fear, she circled around for a while and picked some wild vegetables before slowly making her way back.
As she passed by the house, she noticed a chair that had been moved near the window. She felt suspicious. The window wasn’t high, so she approached it. As soon as she got close, she smelled a pleasant fragrance.
There was some white powder on the window scattered there.
She seemed a bit incredulous. She touched it with her fingers and sniffed it carefully after confirming that it was something. Her expression turned serious.
Using the available light, she looked inside and saw two motionless figures lying there.
She couldn’t care less about the risk of being discovered. She shouted a few times from outside, but there was no response. She knew something serious had happened.
“Who told you to be here?”
A person behind her asked in a low voice.
Fu Yuling had known someone was coming, then she realized it was actually a villager.
She quickly wiped away the white powder from the window without him noticing. Then she urged, “The people inside seem to be dead!”
The man’s expression changed. It couldn’t be true! They only had some rashes on their bodies, right?
“If those inside have developed many red rashes, it can be life-threatening!”
Fu Yuling gritted her teetch and opened her mouth angrily.
“If they aren’t taken to the hospital immediately, they will really die. And then you will be the ones the police would arrest.”
As soon as he heard the word “police,” the man hurried to open the door.
Upon entering, a strong stench wafted out. Without changing her expression, Fu Yuling rushed over and checked one of the people. She used her hand to take their pulse.
When she realized the situation wasn’t good, she quickly applied pressure in several places on the person’s body to stabilize their condition. Then she looked at the man.
“Hurry and take them to the hospital!!!”
