Chapter 210 The Disappearing Children ‘Mountain Boys’ (Fourteen Updates)

The man stretched out his hand, Tong Li lowered her eyes, touched it politely, and then took it back.

"Sorry to bother you." The man expressed his apology.

Tong Li looked at the man who suddenly visited and said calmly: "What's the matter?"

"Master Tong might as well talk inside."

Tong Li nodded and took him into the office, and Xiao Lingling then brought him a pot of tea.

I poured a drink for both of them, but neither of them touched it.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The man did not explain his purpose, but directly took out a wooden box from his body and pushed it towards Tong Li.

He smiled and said: "Master Tong, please accept this as a meeting gift."

Tong Li refused without even looking: "No reward for no merit, sir, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The man's smile remained unchanged: "Master Tong, you might as well open it and have a look first, and then refuse."

"..." Tong Li lowered her eyes and looked at the small long box. This small box was worth a lot just by looking at it, and the contents inside were certainly valuable.

But what does the most precious thing have to do with her?

The man saw that Tong Li didn't move, and there was no trace of greed in her eyes. He knew that she really didn't care about this gift, so he picked it up and opened it.

As soon as the box was opened, a fresh and sweet smell filled the entire office.

Tong Li's eyes lit up. She knew what it was just by smelling it without looking.

This is the Buddha fruit she has been looking for.

The growth conditions of Buddha Tang fruit are extremely harsh. It takes a hundred years to bloom and bear fruit, and each tree can only bear one fruit. It also has to face hundreds of years of wind and rain, as well as various potential threats in the mountains. How can it bear fruit?

Very rare.

Fortunately, the mature Buddha's fruit will emit a very unique smell, which can repel all birds and insects, thereby protecting its own fruit.

Although this kind of fruit existed in her time, it was relatively rare because there were very few Buddha trees that could survive successfully.

I didn't expect it to be found here.

This man gave her such a rare Buddha Tang fruit?

What is the purpose?

"So, sir, if you have anything to say, please just tell me."

Although she likes things, things are often equated with species. Since he can take out such precious things, it is not a small matter for him.

The man closed the lid, pushed it in front of Tong Li, and began to introduce himself politely: "My name is Si Erfeng, and I came here from U City."

"Of course, we have also done relevant investigations and know that Master Tong is a truly talented and knowledgeable master. I came here this time to entrust Master Tong to help us find a child."

Tong Li raised her eyebrows and looked at this elegant man.

"Looking for children?"

"You should go to the police to find your child? What should you do to me?"

Si Erfeng shook his head, suppressed a smile, and said seriously: "It is not the police who can find our lost child."

Tong Li: "What do you mean?"

Si Erfeng continued: "To be honest, Master Tong, our place belongs to a county, called Taihua County. There is a Taihua Mountain in Taihua County, and Taihua Mountain has a legend from generation to generation."

"Every 100 years, the mountain boys from Taihua Mountain will go down the mountain and take away a group of children. According to legend, this is a contract signed between the ancestors and the mountain boys."

"Originally we didn't believe it, but just three months ago, children disappeared inexplicably in our county."

"We called the police and organized our own people to search for him, but we didn't even dig deep into Taihua City."

"As of today, let alone people, I can't even find a corner of my clothes."

"We have reason to believe that our child was taken away by mountain boys."

Otherwise, we really can’t explain where so many children have gone in such a short period of time.

What's more, as technology is so advanced now, if it is man-made, it is impossible to come and go without a trace. There will always be some traces left.

But not at all.

"So I want to beg Master Tong to come with me to Taihua City. If Master Tong helps us find the child, we the people of Taihua City will be deeply grateful."

Tong Li: "Mountain boy?"

"Well, I heard from the older generation that during the war, the villagers lived a miserable life. They were lucky enough to meet the mountain boy, so they signed a contract with the mountain boy."

"The mountain boy allows the people of Taihua City to have good weather and good life, and in exchange, they must hand over 20 children every 100 years."

"But I heard that it was not handed over 100 years ago. Everyone thought it was because the contract was terminated and they didn't care about it anymore. After all, 100 years was too long and it was basically forgotten by our generation."

"If so many children hadn't gone missing this time, we wouldn't have uncovered the matter."

Si Erfeng's eyes were sincere and sincere: "So Master Tong, could you please come with us?"

"Of course we won't treat you badly. You tell us a price and we will deliver it faithfully without any hesitation."

Tong Li glanced at the long box.

Whether this matter is difficult or easy, the key is that he has the fruit of Buddhahood.

She had to take this one.

"OK."

Si Erfeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he was well prepared and knew everything about Tong Li. He also knew that she was looking for several rare medicinal materials. He didn't have the others, but he had the Buddha Tang fruit.

Although taking it out will make people feel a little painful, there is no way. If this contract is not terminated, the people of Taihua City will have no peace.

It's worth using a Buddha's fruit to exchange for the peace of your descendants.

Si Erfeng asked while the iron was hot: "I wonder when Master Tong will set off so that I can make arrangements here."

Tong Li pondered for a while: "I will give you the answer tomorrow."

Si Erfeng nodded, it was just one night, he was not in a hurry, he could afford to wait.

"good."

Si Erfeng put on his signature smile again and asked politely: "Master Tong, are you okay at noon?"

Tong Li: "What?"

"Nothing, I want to treat Master to a meal."

Tong Li said simply: "No time."

"That night?"

"I'm not free either."

Tong Li's successive refusals made Si Erfeng lose the smile on his face.

"Well, when Master Tong is free someday, we can have another banquet."

Tong Li did not answer.

Seeing that things were almost done, Si Erfeng stood up and left.

After Si Erfeng left, Tong Li took out his cell phone and thought about how to mention this matter to Pei Jiuyin.

This man has a lot of things going on lately. He has to intervene in whatever she does and take care of everything.

It made her feel very irritable.

In the past, when she didn't have a man, she could go wherever she wanted without worrying about anyone's emotions.

But now, after having the bond, it is inconvenient to go anywhere.

Tong Li looked at her phone and then at the necklace on her wrist. Maybe she could give him something and then treat him to a meal and have a nice talk.

But what to give? She has never given a gift to anyone seriously, and suddenly she has to give a gift to someone. What should she give?

Tong Li was stumped by the world's big problems.

Grapefruit's words are unreliable.
