Chapter 15 Escape from the Tiger's Mouth and Enter the Wolf's Den

The mountain wind was cold, the shadows of the trees were mottled, Hanyue and the two staggered, and after walking for most of the day, they saw the smoke rising in front of them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Han Yue touched her stomach, "I'm so hungry!"

Huayu looked at her pitiful appearance and said with a smile: "Isn't the rabbit a little mushy, why don't you eat it again after taking a bite, or how can you be hungry, causing me to eat a rabbit, and I'm still holding on." ”

Han Yue said bitterly: "I used to see that Gongzi was roasted very delicious, why did it taste so strange yesterday, I couldn't eat a bite." ”

Hua Yu said puzzledly: "What son, didn't you serve Miss Dahu before?"

"Haha, it's a lie to the fat uncle, let's hurry up and find something to eat!" Han Yue diverted the topic, pulled the flower language and ran to the place where the smoke rose.

When I got closer, I saw an adobe house with a wooden fence, and a woman of about thirty standing outside the door, wearing a patched jacket, kept looking into the distance.

When I saw the two of them walk in, I didn't care, and continued to look around.

"Auntie, do you have anything to eat at home, we came out and got lost, and we have been hungry for a day. Han Yue stood in front of the woman and looked at her pleadingly.

The woman looked at them and said in embarrassment, "No, there is nothing to eat, so go away." ”

Han Yue's little face suddenly collapsed when she heard this, "Is it really not, I'm so hungry! By the way, we have silver, it's okay, give us something to eat." ”

Han Yue's pitiful appearance makes people soften when they look at it.

The woman looked at them, then into the distance, and suddenly pulled them into the house.

The house is very simple, but the living utensils are quite complete. The woman took a notched bowl on the stove and lifted the lid of the pot, revealing only a bowl of brown rice mixed with wild herbs.

The woman took half a bowl, looked at the two of them, dug another spoonful fiercely, and brought it to the two of them, "You eat quickly, and leave quickly after eating, it will not be good if my man comes back," she said in a panic and wanted to go out.

Before she reached the door, she heard Han Yue squirt out a large mouthful of rice that had just been eaten in her mouth, and the woman hurriedly turned back and asked again and again, "What's wrong?"

Han Yue said aggrievedly: "This rice, why does this rice taste weird?" It seems to be mixed with sand grains, and there is a feeling that something is missing, which is a bit similar to the feeling of eating rabbits yesterday.

The woman took a spoon and tasted it, and no problem, what is wrong with this girl.

Han Yue opened a pair of big black eyes and didn't know how to describe it, so she just looked at Huayu pitifully.

Huayu picked up the spoon and tasted it, but the sand grains were not washed clean, and there was nothing else?

Look at Han Yue with an innocent expression, the same as when she ate rabbits yesterday. She tasted it again, smacked it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Yue'er, do you think he doesn't have any taste?"

"Yes and no, it's not what I used to eat anyway. Han Yue said aggrievedly.

"Haha, it's because there is no salt. Flower language said.

"Salt is only available to nobles, where can we buy it from poor families, and we are satisfied with continuous food, little girl, you will go down. The woman said sneeringly.

"Is salt expensive?" Han Yue felt that kind of white stuff would buy a lot of it every time.

"Not only is it expensive, but sometimes you can't buy it with money, and I heard those merchants say that it seems to be controlled by some country. Flower language said.

"The little girl is really knowledgeable, and she can indeed buy it a few years ago, but now, it's hard to say. The woman sighed.

Huayu said shyly: "I heard those merchants say it when I was setting up a stall with my father." ”

Han Yue was also a little stunned when she heard this, "I'm sorry Auntie, I don't know about these things, in fact, it's not that unpalatable." She never worried about these before, she only knew that it was delicious and not delicious, and she didn't even look at what she didn't like, and she never thought about how hard it was to come by.

He lowered his head and silently picked up the bowl and ate it.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, is the meal ready?" The three people who were talking were startled, and saw a burly man with an empty bag in his hand shouting into the house, and the woman trembled even more.

When the man saw the three of them, he heyed and asked his mother-in-law viciously who they were.

The woman said that the two of them were lost, and after begging for food, the man's face immediately changed.

I walked to the stove and lifted the lid of the pot to take a look, and when I saw less than a bowl of brown rice, I threw the lid of the pot on the ground with a bang, and then slapped the woman when I turned around: "The mother-in-law of the loser, I have no food to eat, and I give it to these wild cubs to eat." ”

The woman was fanned to the ground, trembling and not daring to make a sound, she just urged Hanyue to leave quickly after eating, just because she was afraid that the man would come back and bump into her.

My own man has a short temper and often beats people, and today I am even more angry when I see him return empty-handed, and I am more and more anxious when I see him angry with the two little girls.

"Why do you start beating people?" Han Yue said with a red face when she saw the man slapping the woman down, and at the same time stepped forward with Huayu to help the woman up.

"Where did you come from, the wild girl, dare to meddle in my family's affairs," he said and was about to step forward and beat the two of them.

The woman hurriedly stopped and persuaded: "The head of the house, they are two lost children, let's go, there is still food in the pot, you can eat some quickly," she said, turning around and pushing the two of them to walk quickly.

"Stop, you're from that village, I've been around here, why haven't I seen you?" the man asked, looking at the two of them dressed quite brightly, and his eyes rolled.

Han Yue and Hua Yu were also a little stunned by this man, thinking of being abducted before, they became wary: "We went on an outing with our family and accidentally got lost in the mountains and forests, as long as we show us the way back to Qicheng, this bag of silver will be counted as a reward." As he spoke, he threw the money bag in Huayu's hand to the man.

The man checked it, opened it and took a look, his eyes immediately lit up, he had never seen so much silver.

Glancing at Han Yue and the two of them, thinking of the stiffness of being kicked out of the Fubai Building before, and the vicious words of Qiu's mother, he couldn't help but have evil intentions in his heart, and turned his head to look around.

Hua Yu saw that his eyes were shining with a thief's light, and his heart was not good, so he pulled Han Yue and was about to run out of the door, but he was still a step too late, and the strong man found a rope and grabbed the two of them and tied them up.

The woman shuddered, and hid aside, not daring to squeak.

"Uncle, let us go. ”

"Uncle, we have no grievances with you, what are you arresting us for?"

Han Yue and Huayu prayed, but they secretly wailed in their hearts, why are there so many bad people?

"Hmph, at first glance, you are a fugitive prisoner, or a servant girl who stole the master's money, and you still want to run, no way!" the strong man thought of a reason proudly.

Then he turned to the woman and said, "Look at them, they ran and broke your legs," and then went out scolding.

Huayu just wanted to ask the woman to help untie the rope, but the strong man turned back again, and the woman shrank to the side when she saw it.

After waiting for a while, the strong man found a rope to trap the woman again, and shouted while tying up: "You mother-in-law is not reliable, let's be trapped together, don't let the duck run away." ”

Looking around again, out of nowhere, he pulled out a few strips of cloth and plugged the mouths of the three people, and the strips of cloth smelled of sweat, and now he even vomited the flower language.

The man saw that the three of them were sleepy, so he took the lock and locked the door and went out, and the three of them faced each other and smiled bitterly.

Han Yue moved the rope, the bundle was too tight to move at all, look at the flower language, and the tearful eyes signaled what to do.

Flower language is also impossible, can only lament, it is really out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den.

The woman was even more ashamed, she didn't know what kind of virtue her man was, stealing chickens and touching dogs, abducting and abducting, causing the neighbors to complain.

In the end, he was coerced by several respected old people in the village to move out of the village and settle down in the mountains. (She didn't know that this man had been in the city a lot, and he had learned from the rich people to visit the Qinglou, and the little money he had from hunting and chopping wood was all filial to the bustard, and she didn't see a serious girl.) )

The three of them were speechless, and the sun slowly set in the west, only to hear the footsteps outside and the humble words of the man: "Mother Qiu, it's true, you can look like a peugeot, and you can raise an Oiran for a few more years." ”

"Let's take a look first, if you dare to lie to the old lady, break your legs. A sharp voice spoke, and the door opened.

The man lit the candle, and the three of Han Yue saw clearly that the sharp-voiced mother Qiu was a woman in her early forties, and she should have been a beauty when she was young, but now she has frost and calculation on her face, and she is dressed in brocade and is extremely fancy, followed by a few thugs.

Mother Qiu approached Hanyue and the two looked carefully, the larger ones were quite delicate but not outstanding, she lost interest when she looked at them, and looked at the smaller ones carefully.

Seeing this, Qiu's mother was overjoyed, and thought to herself: "Xiao is a little small, but it looks very exquisite, especially a pair of bright eyes, which is too attractive." ”

"Wu Pi, are you sure these two girls are from other places?" Qiu's mother turned around and asked the man.

The man knows where they are! Hu said, "Surely, I can't hear the accent?"

Qiu's mother didn't look like locals when she looked at them, and thought of the incident that happened a few days ago, maybe they were the girls who were abducted, those officers and soldiers just arrested the leader, and those girls said that they were going to be sent home, who knows where to send them.

This boss Hu doesn't know which way of the fairy he offended, so he was killed to make an example, and he often bought people from him, and after this line was broken, she had to find another source of goods.

Thinking of taking out two pieces of silver from the embroidered bag, throwing them to the man, and asking his subordinates to take them away.

"This, how is this only ten taels of silver, these are two people?" the man looked at the two silver ingots in his hand and said dissatisfiedly.

"Who knows where this girl came from, you forgot how Boss Hu died, at this juncture, it is the old lady and me, who dares to ask for another person, do you sell it or not?" Qiu's mother sneered.

"Sell, sell, Mom, whatever you say, that is, can you give more. You see, this little girl looks so smart, and when she looks like she grows up, she will be a great beauty, so give more!" the man said, licking his face.

Mother Qiu looked at him and then at Han Yue, and reluctantly took out another piece of broken silver and threw it to the man, with broken thoughts in her mouth, she had never seen the poor sour in the world.

"Let's talk about it first, you can't talk about it, be careful to drop your head," Qiu's mother threatened.

"I know, I know, who pays attention to this remote place of my house! The man said, seeing that Qiu's mother ignored him and turned around and walked out of the door, he hurriedly nodded and sent him away.

A carriage parked outside the door, a few horses, and a few thugs stuffed Han Yue and the two into the carriage, and then helped Qiu's mother up, and left with a few eyes.
