A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 1087 Helpless

On the streets.

Sun Cui carried a lantern and rushed to Chen's house.

Because they need to invite the gods, everyone in the Chen family is very busy now. The Chen family is large and powerful, and the god they are inviting is a white jade god, so there can't be any mistakes. There are many things to pay attention to before inviting the gods, so there are many things to do.

"Uncle Chen, this is the new vanilla lantern I made yesterday."

After Sun Cui arrived at Chen's house, the servants allowed her in directly because she was a local who came to sell vanilla lanterns.

She came to the old man who was directing everyone to work.

During this month, the Chen family burns vanilla lanterns every day, so the demand is great.

"Not bad."

The old man took it, took a look at it, and was very satisfied, so he said: "Your vanilla lantern is still finely crafted."

Wang Cui replied embarrassedly: "This is all thanks to my brother."

"Wait here for a moment. I'll show the lantern to the master and then give you the copper coins."

The old man looked at her with a strange smile, then walked into the house holding the vanilla lantern.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

Sun Cui thanked him loudly.

Then, in order not to block the Chen family from working, she stood in the corner and waited.

“This family is really impressive.”

She couldn't help but look around.

There are more than 30 members of the Chen family in this town, and no family in the town dares to provoke them.

"Master, how is this girl?"

In the room, two figures were looking at Wang Cui outside through the window.

It was the old man from before, and another old man wearing black cotton clothes.

The old man in black cotton is the old man of the Chen family, the manager of the Chen family.

The old man in cotton-padded clothes looked at it for a while, frowned and said, "It looks too ordinary. If you offer it as a sacrifice to the gods, I'm afraid they will dislike it."

The old man next to him said quickly, "She is a child from a poor family. She has been working for many years and looks a bit ordinary, but there is no strong man in her family. Although she has a younger brother, he is still a sick man who will not live long. Sacrificing her will not cause any trouble. Moreover, her age is suitable. The gods will know our intentions."

"That's the truth."

The old man in cotton clothes had a hoarse voice and his body was like rotten wood, but his dim eyes were full of fierceness. He continued, "She is the one. We are still short of two. If all else fails, we can choose one from our family. I hope the gods will see our sincerity and let my precious grandson have a son."

As he spoke, he began to pray to the statue of the god in the distance.

Extremely pious.

The reason why the Chen family made such a big fuss was because his grandson, the future head of the family, had no children, and they wanted to use this method to offer sacrifice and ask the gods to bless his grandson with children and descendants.

After praying, he turned around with his cane, waved his hand and said, "I'll leave it to you. Then think of a crime and take all her land away from her family."

"Master, don't worry, just leave it to me."

The old man followed behind him with a flattering smile.

outside.

Sun Cui waited anxiously.

"Why isn't it healed yet? The Chen family isn't going to give you the money, is it?"

She looked around worriedly.

If the Chen family doesn't give it to her, she will have no choice.

"Come in, your lantern is very good. The old man has special instructions. If it is woven like that, one vanilla lantern can give you three copper coins."

But at this time, the old man came out with a smile and waved to her kindly.

"Ok."

Upon hearing that she would be given three copper coins in the future, Sun Cui immediately walked into the house happily.

"Snapped."

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped in, the door suddenly closed.

Just when she was at a loss, several men appeared in front of her.

Seeing these people with unfriendly expressions, Sun Cui suddenly panicked.

"you..."

Just as she opened her mouth, everyone rushed over, covered her mouth, and tied her up very neatly.

Although Sun Cui has some strength from working all year round, she is like a chick in front of an adult man.

He was soon subdued.

Although some people outside saw this scene, this was at Chen's house, and everyone inside was a member of the Chen family. No one paid any attention to it and everyone was still busy with their own work.

In the palace, everything is as usual.

Time passed slowly.

"Why hasn't my sister come back yet?"

When the sun rose to the sky, it was already noon.

Sun Yun stood in the yard, looking outside in confusion.

It's been so long, why hasn't my sister come back yet? It usually takes her no more than fifteen minutes to change the lanterns.

At least two hours have passed now.

Mother Sun came over and said, "Maybe something happened to Grandpa Ning. I'll go check it out. You stay home and pray to the gods today."

The house has been cleaned and the work is almost done.

After giving the instructions, Sun's mother walked out.

I guess he must have encountered some trouble.

......

"Your girl, has she never come to my place?"

The residence of Master Ning in the town.

When Sun's mother came here to ask, Master Ning just shook his head.

"Cui'er left early in the morning, Master Ning, has she really never been here?"

Sun's mother asked again.

"No, no one has come here today. If your girl had come here, how could I not remember it?"

The old man said seriously.

The town is actually not very big, with more than 200 households. Basically everyone knows each other. Even if you don’t know each other, you have seen them before, so the old man won’t be wrong.

"Isn't he still in Chen's house?"

Since she couldn't get any information out of the question, Sun's mother had to leave and planned to go to Chen's house to ask.

The old man sat under a tree, leisurely fanning himself.

"No outsiders are allowed to approach. Now is the time for our Chen family to pray."

At this time, the door of the Chen family was closed. Sun's mother was about to go forward, but was stopped by several gatekeepers.

"My Lord, I want to find my Cui'er. She didn't go back after delivering the vanilla lantern here this morning. Have you seen her?"

Sun's mother pleaded humbly.

During this period, the Chen family would pray throughout the day after breakfast and would not allow outsiders to enter for fear that their blessings would be robbed.

"I didn't see it, I didn't see it, go away, don't come to my Chen family to grab the blessing."

Several servants of the Chen family came forward and pushed her away.

Don't let her get close.

"My lord, my lord..."

Sun's mother was violently pushed to the ground.

"Go quickly. Come back in the evening if you need anything."

Although they were women, this group of servants were not polite to them at all.

But seeing the heartless looks on the faces of these servants, there was nothing he could do.

A woman is weak and powerless.

Facing a local tyrant like the Chen family, she had no way to deal with it.

After looking at the Chen family helplessly, he had no choice but to leave.

Start searching in town.

As for the Chen family, we can only ask them in the evening after they finish praying.

Since she was praying to the gods, she didn't dare to make a scene here, as it would be a great disrespect to the gods.

But then, she searched the town several times and went home several times, but no one had seen her daughter.

Her daughter seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth in an instant.

Unable to find it, Sun's mother became more and more panicked.

How could such a good person suddenly disappear?
