The Herbal Scents of Farm Life

Chapter 3290 - 3291: We Can’t Go There

So when he saw them tied up here, he didn’t feel much about it.

But not feeling anything doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be afraid.

"Sir, they really deserve to die, but if they die, then we... we’ll be the next to suffer." The man said fearfully.

"Hmm."

Lin Caisang responded softly and looked at Sui Zimo.

"Which household was the most recent to have a child stolen? Take us there." Sui Zimo said to the Ghost Clan man.

"Uh."

Hearing his words, the Ghost Clan man choked, weakly looking at the two.

"This... I’m afraid we can’t do that."

"Hmm?"

Lin Caisang looked at him, puzzled.

Could it be that it’s not here, but elsewhere?

That doesn’t matter as long as it’s within the Ghost Clan, they can walk there.

"Where is it? Is it far?" she asked.

"No, no, it’s not."

The Ghost Clan man quickly shook his head.

It’s not about the distance, it’s that they simply can’t go there.

"Sir, the last one whose child was stolen... was... was the Ghost Emperor, so we... we can’t go there."

He looked at Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo with great difficulty.

If they entered the ghost palace, the Ghost Emperor would eat them alive, knowing that the Crown Prince Ghost being stolen is a taboo topic for the entire Ghost Clan, who would dare to mention it?

If the guards of the ghost palace heard it, they would be caught directly.

Lin Caisang: "..."

Why say it like that, can’t he slightly change his way of thinking when considering problems?

"Then take us to the nearest household you know of whose child was stolen, that’s doable, isn’t it?" she said, taking a step back.

"This... is feasible."

The Ghost Clan man thought for a moment and nodded.

"I know someone just outside of town, we can go and have a look."

"Let’s go now."

Lin Caisang said immediately; she didn’t want to wait any longer.

...

The outskirts of the Imperial City.

A village that looked very poor, with only a few people outside.

Moreover, when they saw strangers entering the village, they all stared nervously at Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo, with a wary look, as if suspecting Lin Caisang and her party might do something harmful to them at the next moment.

They all held tightly to what they thought were weapons.

"Get out..."

Shortly after Lin Caisang and her party entered the village, finally, a man spoke in a low voice towards them.

Once one voice sprang up, a second and a third would follow.

"Yes, get out! We do not welcome outsiders here, get out, get out!"

"Who let you in? We don’t know you, all of you get out, get out, or don’t blame us for being rude and beating you to death!"

A group of people surrounded them in the center, seemingly eager to attack.

"Please don’t be angry, sirs, it’s just that the number of stolen children here is too many, not a single one spared, so they’re like this; it’s not intentionally against you."

Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo didn’t mind much, putting themselves in their shoes, they would have the same attitude if faced with this situation.

However, the Ghost Clan man who brought them there quickly explained to Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo when he heard their words.

"Recently, every child born in this village has been stolen, not a single one left, so..."

"We know."

Lin Caisang raised her hand, stopping him from continuing to speak.
