Elder Wu frowned and pushed away a courtyard that had been abandoned for a long time.
There was no light in the yard, and under the dim starlight, a child with half his face wrapped in white cloth looked at him in horror, his eyes full of tears.
Elder Wu raised his hand and lowered it again: "Who are you?"
The child knelt down, clasped his hands and begged him: "Please, I don't have a name, and I don't know who my father is. I just want to live..."
Elder Wu pushed him away and strode inside.
In the dark room, several women were lying or sitting, some were sleeping, and some were watching him warily.
A woman sat firmly on the chair and said calmly: "You can call us, you can hand us over, or you can bring someone to arrest us."
The room was too dark for Elder Wu to see her face clearly.
He frowned and blew the fire note, and the woman's features suddenly appeared in front of him.
Blue robe, calm and delicate face, and a calm expression.
He couldn't believe it, and his lips trembled slightly: "You...Mrs...."
The lady in blue robe smiled slightly: "It's me and them."
Elder Wu took a deep breath, looked at the child who was hiding at the door and peeking, and said: "He is..."
Mrs. Lanpao said naturally: "Twenty-two."
Elder Wu was stunned as if he had received an electric shock.
For a long time, he showed an expression that looked like crying but not crying, half smiling but not smiling: "Do evil."
He did not ask where these women and children came from, for he already knew who had brought them.
"Have you eaten?" He frowned, planning to take the hot potato.
Before the lady in blue robe could speak, the child had already swallowed loudly.
Elder Wu stopped asking and sighed, "Just wait."
He stumbled out with his back stooped.
Recently, the priest's mansion was sparsely populated, except for him, a disciple, and a cook, there was no one else.
The pot in the kitchen was turned off, and after a long search, there were only two semi-cold steamed buns.
Fortunately, there was half a basket full of raw eggs, so he started looking for firewood for the stove with trembling hands and feet.
The cook woke up and was startled when she saw him inside: "Are you hungry? I will make you a supper right now."
Elder Wu waved his hand: "Cook a pot of porridge and boil all these eggs."
The cook didn't dare to ask any more questions and cooked it quickly.
Elder Wu saw that it was already midnight.
"Go to sleep." he said.
The cook turned around and suddenly felt the sound of wind behind her head, with murderous intent piercing her bones.
She screamed: "Elder, elder..."
Elder Wu pinched her neck: "Do you want to die or live?"
"Live, live..." The cook's whole body went limp and she was sweating profusely.
"That's very good. Shut your mouth and do whatever I ask you to do." Elder Wu waved his hand and the cook rolled around.
He squatted on the ground and stared at the dark sky for a while, then stood up and poured the porridge into the bucket.
One hand carried a bucket and the other a basket, staggering towards the small yard.
The women and children were eating delicious food around the porridge bucket. He was worried, squatting on the roof and looking in the direction of the Priest's Palace.
Since Gu Yilan brought these people back and hid them here, he would definitely not ignore them.
But these people were always hungry, which meant that something must have happened to Gu Yilan.
If this matter is known to the Priest Palace, it will be another fight.
He is unwilling and reluctant to hurt anyone.
There was a faint sound of wind, and a big white bird landed not far away.
