Chapter 278 Finding Her

Li Yu, led by two strong men in vests, walked through the winding alleys like a maze. After bypassing a row of unfinished buildings, he saw two people with the word "demolished" painted on the wall. An ancient castle.

From a distance, the ancient castle is empty, with only a few bright lights and few people.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li Yu probably would never have imagined that such a messy place exists in Tianhai City, which is as prosperous as the Baiyujing in the sky.

"Master, the person you are looking for lives here." No. [-], the strong man in the vest, pointed to a dimly lit room on the ancient castle, and said to Li Yu.

Li Yu nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go up and have a look."

After all, he went straight upstairs without waiting for the two strong men in vests to make any moves.

There is no light in the corridor, and the old steps seem to be condensed with moisture, and it seems to be covered with a thin layer of oil. You must be careful when you step down, otherwise there is a danger of slipping.

If this place is not demolished, it would be great to keep it as a filming scene for a literary film.

Li Yu thought so.

After a while, he came to the lighted room.

Looking back at the two strong men in vests who were following up, Li Yu knocked lightly on the door after making sure that he had found the right door.

The inside of the door was originally quiet, but the moment Li Yu knocked on the door, suddenly there was a "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, and sound of footsteps rushing to the door.

"Yes, is the little fairy back? Little fairy!" an old woman's voice said urgently, and the closed door was suddenly opened.

An old woman wrapped in a blanket appeared in Li Yu's sight.

The old woman's face was full of wrinkles, her eyes were cloudy and dull, and her silver hair was loose but neatly combed.The clothes on his body are also clean and have no peculiar smell.

Judging from the appearance alone, the old woman should be over 60 years old, but according to the information told to Li Yu by the strong men in the vest, the real age of the old woman should be just in her early fifties.

Only in the moment of guarding the door, Li Yu read a trace of hope from the old woman's eyes, but when the old woman saw clearly that the person standing outside the door was Li Yu, not the little girl in her mouth. When I was a fairy, this heavy hope also disappeared.

"You? Who are you looking for?" The old lady tried her best to stand up straight, and her questioning tone was alert.

At this time, No. [-], a strong man in a vest, squeezed through the narrow corridor and said to the old woman in a low voice and respectfully: "Aunt Xu, this is our new gang leader, as we told you last time."

The old woman obviously knew the strong man in the vest.

After hearing what the strong man in the vest said No. [-], her body relaxed a little, and the alertness in her eyes also lost a lot.

"Old woman Xu Huahua, I have met the leader of the clan." The old woman saluted slightly, then gave up her seat at the door, and signaled Li Yu to sit in the room.

Li Yu glanced into the room, under the dim light, the old lady lived in this small room with pitifully few furnishings.Except for a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe, there are only a few small stools, and the only ordinary household appliances are an old desk lamp and a kettle. Not a shadow.

Everything I saw before my eyes was telling the story of the poverty of this old woman to the visitors.

But Li Yu had grown up in an orphanage since he was a child, and he felt the same for such poverty, so he became a little closer to the old woman for no reason.

Li Yu approached the room, and the two burly men in vests followed immediately behind him.

The small house immediately became crowded, and there was no place to sit down.

The old lady also consciously treated the guests slowly, and hurriedly poured three cups of warm water from the kettle, and handed them to Li Yu and his party.

"The boss is here today because of the little fairy's affairs?" The old woman leaned against the wall, watched Li Yu drinking water, and asked cautiously.

Only when the word "little fairy" is mentioned, will the old woman's gloomy eyes shine with hope again.

"Aunt Xu, hurry up and speak up! Since our leader is here, as long as you are willing to speak, the leader will never sit idly by!" No. [-], the brawny man in the vest, interrupted hastily.

Li Yu glanced at No. [-], the brawny man in the vest, motioning him not to interrupt casually, then looked at the old woman again, and said softly, "Speak out about your grievances, and I will try my best to help you find a solution."

The old woman, who was called Aunt Xu by the brawny men in the vest, moved her lips, obviously organizing her words in her heart.But she didn't say anything, and she suddenly lowered her head, her cloudy old eyes were already filled with tears.

She immediately sobbed and cried in a low voice: "Master Gang Leader, please make the decision for me and my daughter!"

"Is your daughter the 'little fairy' you keep talking about?" Li Yu asked immediately.

The old lady nodded, wiped the muddy tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around slowly and opened the desk drawer, took out a photo frame, and handed it to Li Yu.

In the photo frame is a group photo of the old woman and a young girl.

The young girl in the group photo is about 16 years old, with black mid-length hair, a pretty face, and charming.

"She is a little fairy, and she hasn't been home for two years! Please help me find her, sir?" The old woman murmured, pointing at the girl in the photo.

Li Yu nodded, with an extremely serious expression, and replied: "Please tell me all the details, including where she worked before, what she did before she disappeared, and what happened after she disappeared. The more detailed the better. !"

The old woman continued to wipe her tears, then nodded heavily.

She has been immersed in despair for too long, and she can hardly hold on.

Li Yu's sudden appearance was like the last straw for the old lady. Only by holding on tightly can she ensure that she will not sink into the cold sea of ​​despair again.

"Little Fairy is my only daughter. My health has not been very good. After my wife passed away, it has always been me and Little Fairy who are dependent on each other."

"Two years ago, I had a serious illness. In order to cure the illness, the little fairy and I had to sell the house in our hometown, and then moved to this ancient castle. But, the illness is gone, and the house is sold The money will run out soon."

"Little Fairy is a filial child. In order to treat my illness, she dropped out of school without telling me, and then said that she found an acquaintance to introduce a decent job. She said she would wait until I was cured. Strength, she will go back to school!"

The old woman looked at Li Yu, clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, and began to tell the story that happened in this small old castle in a low tone.
