Miss Cousin Wants to Become a Monk

Chapter 136 Who did he say he was?

Little Yanzi regained his freedom, yet his face was not happy, but full of shame. He heard the conversation between the Madam and the guard clearly from behind the Buddha statue, and felt touched and extremely guilty. If it weren't for the Madam's alertness and the guard's timely return, the consequences would be unimaginable!

He said, "Madam, you shouldn't have thought of asking the guard to rescue me just now."

Xie Miao said: "Knowing that you might be kidnapped by criminals, how can I just stand by and watch you die?"

"But......"

"No buts." Xie Miao said, "Let me see if there are any injuries on your body."

Seeing that his wrist was scratched by the rope, Xie Miao said, "Come back with me later and apply some ointment. It will be healed in two days."

Little Yanzi's heart was filled with warmth. How could he be so worthy to meet such a good person like the Madam?

He said, "I'm fine, Madam, don't worry."

After making sure he had no other wounds, Xie Miao remembered and asked, "Little Yanzi, why did you come to Qingshan Temple?"

He could have lied like he had done before, but after what had just happened, he just couldn't lie.

"Madam, actually my name is not little Yanzi." He confessed, "Little Yanzi is my sister, only seven years old this year. She was abducted by human traffickers in Xinzhou a year ago and her whereabouts are still unknown."

Xie Miao frowned and remained silent for a while.

He said, "Since little Yanzi disappeared, I have been traveling to various cities, looking for the whereabouts of the traffickers, but they are cunning and I have missed them every time. A few days ago, when I heard the news that Min Ya was missing, I realized that the traffickers were also in Leiyang, so I went around looking for details about Min Ya's disappearance."

"Have you found any useful clues?"

He shook his head. "It's the same clue as those circulating in the market. But I happened to hear a few days ago, that a famous hunter outside the city heard the weeping of a child when he was spending the night in the mountains. After returning, he had a high fever and suspected that he had seen a ghost. But I guess that since there is no trace of Min Ya in the whole of Leiyang, could she be hidden in the mountains by human traffickers?"

"The mountains are dangerous, so I didn't dare to wander around. Thus, I wandered around the foot of the mountain. After squatting for several days, I found two men with suspicious behaviour. I followed them into Qingshan Temple and found them stealing in the kitchen. I was more convinced that they were not good people. I was about to call someone to subdue them, but they found me and tied me up..."

Then Xie Miao and Jiang Rong unexpectedly arrived, ruining the criminals' plan to transfer him.

At this point, Xie Miao already understood the whole story. After a moment's silence, she said, "I understand your desire to find your sister, but you are still young. You should seek help from the authorities instead of taking risks alone."

"I have reported to the authorities before, but they saw that I was young and just sent me away with a few words..." His eyes were slightly red, and he said, "Madam, this is the closest I have ever been to them. I can no longer pin my hopes on the authorities."

Xie Miao remembered that he once said that he had no home, and his sister was abducted by human traffickers and disappeared. Faced with such a pitiful child, she really couldn't bear to blame him for the slight deception.
