Chapter 138 Pei Yu's Little Problem
The expressions on both of their faces were not good. Shen Li glanced at the man beside her. This is an era where power is supreme, and the powerful have the final say. For the common people, this is a disaster.
The common people are like ants, being slaughtered by these powerful people.
Many times, even if one suffers great pain and wants to report to the authorities, one still has to find ways to do so, and sometimes one will encounter situations where officials protect one another.
Failure to redress grievances leads to suffering instead. This situation is very common among the lower class people and is not uncommon.
However, these people may have gone too far. I don’t know how many lives have been lost in this mine.
And these people cannot be nameless people. So many people disappeared, didn’t anyone notice?
No, there is another situation. During last year's flood, people were displaced. Even if more people disappeared for no reason, no one would suspect it.
But this is just too much of a coincidence.
Pei Yu noticed that Shen Li's gaze was on him, and he looked sideways at her, but unexpectedly, she looked away.
The next second, the girl's cold voice rang out in the cave, and in this spacious place, there was a sense of ethereality.
"Master Wei, what do you think about this?"
Seeing that her face was not looking good, and thinking about what happened today, Pei Yu frowned and said softly: "Miss Shen, don't worry. Although I am not a good person, I am not a wicked person who does many evil things."
"This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to do, so Miss Shen, please relax."
Moreover, not all the rich and powerful are like this, he did not say this.
Because there is really no credibility, and he knows very well how corrupt this country has become.
Maybe now even ordinary people don’t believe it, because when they encountered natural disasters and were forced to leave their homes and needed help the most, the court did nothing.
"Well, I believe what Master Wei said."
He is indeed not a good person, but coincidentally, I am not a good person either, so they do have some similarities.
"It's getting dark outside, let's go."
Pei Yu shook his head and pointed at the pit with a frown, "Miss Shen, I'm going down to get something and will be back soon."
Seeing that Shen Li agreed, he flew down gracefully with the torch in his hand.
Shen Li attached a strand of her mental power to the hem of his clothes, and thus she could see clearly that Wei Zian had a purpose.
He just happened to land on a protruding rock, perfectly avoiding the corpses and little cuties below.
A few seconds later, he was seen using his skills again, heading straight towards the depths of the corpse pit, and each step he took was very clever.
Soon, Shen Li saw two swaying little white flowers, which were in stark contrast to the eerie, dark and strange corpse pit, as if they were fairies that had fallen into hell.
Pei Yu dragged the small white flower plant away. At this moment, a dark figure swooped down from behind him.
It was a wolfdog that was completely black, its body covered with black stuff and pieces of meat, and even maggots falling from it as it ran. Shen Li only took a glance at it and it disappeared from her sight.
However, Pei Yu seemed to be prepared. He quickly dropped the torch in his hand, dodged sideways, and drew out the soft knife at his waist. He swung the knife down, and the black wolfdog failed to dodge in time and was stabbed on the back.
"Ow~"
The timing of its sneak attack was very clever, just at the moment when Pei Yu pulled up the little white flower.
But if Pei Yu was a step slower, his neck would be bitten by him.
As the howl sounded, more than a dozen identical wolfhounds appeared around, stepping on the corpses at the bottom of the pit and running towards Pei Yu.
The torch had gone out, and there was no light around. Pei Yu carefully put the flowers into his arms, his face looking extremely ugly.
These wolfhounds have lived in a dark environment for a long time and can accurately determine Pei Yu's location without the need for light.
Shen Li above couldn't help but worry for Wei Zian. These wolfhounds were very quick and the most important thing was that they had lived at the bottom of the pit for so long that it was obvious what they ate.
If she were bitten, Tsk, Shen Li thought of Wei Zian's gloomy face just now and laughed unkindly.
After traveling with Wei Zian for such a long time, she had come to realize that this man had some of the bad habits of a playboy.
Due to limited conditions now, he basically changes his clothes every day, and that is if they are not dirty.
If it gets dirty, I will replace it immediately. Now, hahaha!
It’s not that she doesn’t want to go down and help him, but how can she, an ordinary person with no internal strength, go down?
Shen Li said that she really couldn't do anything!
Pei Yu below was already fighting with a dozen wolfhounds. These wolfhounds were as big as wolves, and were equally fast and powerful.
"roar~"
He took the soft sword in his hand and killed all the wolfhounds that approached him, and used his powerful internal strength to kill the remaining wolfhounds one by one.
Seeing him use his internal force again, Shen Li raised her eyebrows. This was similar to her own spiritual ability.
However, there are substantial differences between the two.
Soon, Pei Yu came with a dark face. Shen Li looked at him carefully and found several drops of blood on the hem of his clothes. Well, this was the reason.
"Sorry, I just dropped the torch."
The visibility in the cave was dim, and the lack of a torch would have some impact on the two people, but not much.
Shen Li smiled and took out a torch from behind her, "It's okay, I just picked it up nearby."
After saying that, he took out a tinderbox and quickly lit the torch, successfully seeing a stinky face.
Pei Yu pulled the corner of his lips, "Let's go then."
"Okay!"
Hearing her cheerful tone, Pei Yu asked, "Miss Shen seems to be in a good mood?"
"It's okay!" Shen Li asked back, "But Master Wei seems to be in a bad mood?"
This is asking a question even though you already know the answer.
He didn't reply, and Shen Li didn't expect him to reply. She asked again, "Then you shouldn't say that! The young master got such a rare medicinal material, so he should be in a good mood."
Pei Yu paused for a moment, but he was not too surprised. He asked in a low voice, "Miss Shen, do you know Yinxuecao?"
Yin blood grass?
Shen Li chewed on these three words slowly. The name was quite consistent with its growing environment.
"I don't know him, but the fact that you, Master Wei, are willing to go down to this corpse pit proves that he is not simple, isn't it?"
Pei Yu nodded. Although Miss Shen didn't know the Yinxue Grass, she was a smart person and would naturally understand many things without being told.
"Yinxue grass likes to grow in dark places like this with dead bones and rotting corpses. It is very rare at ordinary times, let alone this kind of flower."
"Its flowers only bloom for two days, and they have to be picked when they are in full bloom to be effective."
Pei Yu briefly explained the Yinxue grass to Shen Li, but did not explain what it was used for.
