Straw (1)

The waiter spoke angrily, but the woman kept shaking her head vigorously.

"No… no… my children are not dead… they are really not dead… I carried them here…" The woman wailed as she clung desperately to Lu Shaoqing's trousers.

The citizens of Ping City that surrounded them began discussing the matter among themselves. This woman had been making a scene in Ping City for quite some time. Many of them knew of the incident and offered their opinions. They all said that the woman was crazy for insisting that the two bundles of straw were her son and daughter.

When the incident had first occurred, some had their suspicions. To clear its name, the inn had allowed the City Lord and the woman to conduct over ten searches, but not even the shadow of a ghost had been found, much less the children.
