After conveying the message to Jiang Jiting and others, Jiang Jingmo and Xu Fengzui were arranged by the boss to stay in the backyard, which also made it convenient for them to get up early to help the next day.

According to the information Jiang Ji heard from them, if a group of people would disappear every seven days, then today would be the next time. Moreover, Jiang Jingmo and Xu Fengzui have not shown up in Xinglong Cloth Shop yet, and people around them don't know of their existence. Now is the best opportunity to take action.

So the two of them did not dare to rest for the rest of the day, ready to deal with any emergency at any time, but they waited from day to night, and then from night to day, but there was nothing unusual.

Early in the morning, the boss sent someone to knock on their door.

After hearing this, the two men came out and tried to walk towards the cloth, but were blocked by the servant.

"You two girls have come to the wrong place. The boss wants you to work in the backyard."

The servant made a gesture to invite them in, and under the strange looks of Jiang Jingmo and the others, he led them to the spacious area in the backyard, where there were dye vats standing on the ground.

"Our cloth shop has always been a self-dying and self-selling business. A few more guys will come to help us in a while. Now I'm going to trouble you two girls."

The two nodded, and with the demonstration of the servant, they quickly mastered the trick of dyeing cloth. Before the servant left, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief and couldn't help but smile when he saw how quickly the two of them got the hang of it.

After he left, Jiang Jingmo's eyes fell on the dye vat, which contained various bright colors. However, probably because of the dyes, it exuded a strong fragrance, which felt similar to the smell of essence in later generations.

With the intention of portraying the image of two wandering women to the end, the two of them quickly got busy, and gradually became proficient in the movements of dyeing and drying cloth.

The sun rose in the east, and the servant did not lie. Soon a worker came to dye the cloth. After seeing Jiang Jingmo and the others, he did not ask much, but the look in his eyes made them feel a little uncomfortable.

Sympathy, pity and obscene looks lingered on them, disgusting like maggots in their bones.

Xu Fengzui and Jiang Jingmo said nothing and endured it for two days.

The past two days have been peaceful and there has been no intention of capturing them to dig out their spiritual roots. The two of them gradually became restless.

So on the afternoon of the next day, while they were working, the two of them found an excuse to slip out, wanting to exchange information with Jiang Jiting.

Maybe because they were in a hurry and time was tight, they accidentally knocked down a little beggar when they were walking towards the inn. When the little beggar was about to fall to the ground, Jiang Jingmo was quick to use his spiritual power to support him. When they returned and helped him up, they found that the little beggar had red and swollen eyes and his face was covered with tears.

"But did I hurt you?" Xu Fengzui squatted down guiltily, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears from the beggar's face.

The little beggar shook his head and opened his mouth but could only make "ah ah" sounds. His tears kept flowing out and in the end he actually knelt down in front of them with a thud.

"What's going on? Get up quickly."

Jiang Jingmo was also startled and hurriedly supported the person. Seeing that the little beggar kept screaming, he thought he wanted to say something to them.

"Is there something you want to tell us?"

The little beggar nodded, and the expression on his face became more anxious.

"Then bear with it for a while." Jiang Jingmo heard this and probed his consciousness into the little beggar's body, "Okay, just think of what you want to say in your mind."

The little beggar was stunned for a moment, but soon his thoughts came out.

"You are immortals, right? You can use spiritual power. Can you help me?"

"Help you? Help you with what?" Jiang Jingmo was puzzled.

"My brother, my brother is lost and I can't find him." As he said this, the little beggar's tears began to flow again.

Jiang Jingmo's expression changed, and he quickly linked this matter to the recent disappearances. Seeing Xu Fengzui with a puzzled look on her face, Jiang Jingmo told her what the little beggar said.

Xu Fengzui's expression also became a little solemn, but now they had no clues at all and could do nothing to help.

Despite this, Jiang Jingmo still listened to the little beggar's words and roughly understood what had happened.

This little beggar and his brother were stranded here because of the war. They made a living by begging along the way. The two depended on each other and only ended up in this place five days ago.

Four days ago, his younger brother went out to beg for food and never came back. The little beggar searched for his brother day and night for four days but still couldn't find him.

Jiang Jingmo asked some other questions, such as whether his brother had behaved differently recently.

The little beggar thought about it carefully and actually remembered that a month ago, his younger brother was inexplicably able to control clods of earth and stones. At that time, the little beggar did not take it seriously and just thought that his younger brother was just playing around.

His words confirmed their guess. The little beggar's brother must have awakened his spiritual roots a month ago and was abducted by the group of people after entering Xunjiang City.

However, there is another point that Jiang Jingmo is concerned about.

"You said your brother was lost four days ago?"

The little beggar nodded heavily.

Jiang Jingmo and Xu Fengzui were both silent. That was not right. According to what Jiang Jiting had found out, people with spiritual roots in this city should disappear every seven days.

But this little beggar's younger brother was only five days older than Qi Shu and the others at that time.

The two men suddenly felt something was wrong, so they took the little beggar and hurried back to the inn.

After telling Jiang Ji Ting about the little beggar's brother, he couldn't help but frown. The time difference was quite large, and two days ago, the City Lord's Mansion received reports of many people in the city missing.

As a result, the time they had estimated a few days ago was completely disrupted.

After discussing it, everyone finally decided to leave the little beggar with Jiang Jiting and the others, and then Nan Xun and Ji Chuhe would go and get more information to determine the time when the people in the city disappeared.

Jiang Jingmo and Xu Fengzui couldn't stay here for too long. They said a few words quickly and hurried back. Before leaving, Mu Yuanqian stopped Xu Fengzui.

Xu Fengzui turned her head and saw a face that was completely unfamiliar to Mu Yuanqian, but she knew that it was Xu Fengzui, her senior sister and also her sister.

"Yuanyuan?" Xu Fengzui called her in confusion.

"It's okay... just remember to be safe..."

Mu Yuanqian felt a little awkward, but still finished his words in a low voice.

"Well, I will."

There was a hint of surprise in Xu Fengzui's eyes, but more of it was relief and smile. She responded gently and reached out to touch Mu Yuanqian's head.

"Listen to Brother Daoist Jiang and the others. I'll come back to pick you up after the matter is resolved."

After saying that, Xu Fengzui and Jiang Jingmo turned and left, leaving only two hurried backs behind to everyone.

Mu Yuanqian just stood there looking at Xu Fengzui's back, stunned for a moment. After a long time, he murmured.

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back..."
