Chapter 32: Deep Mountains
In the county office, Lu Yu was sorting out the documents in the lobby, and suddenly saw Huang Ji'an and Xiaocui running in with a hurry by the officials, Lu Yu's eyes swept slightly, and he saw Huang Ji'an's familiar face, why was it him again, but his face was not obvious, and he only asked the officials: "Why are you so panicked?" The official saluted and replied: "Report to the lord, these two people are here to report to the official to find someone, saying that a woman was lost last night", and said to Xiaocui and Huang Ji'an: "Tell the adults about everything", Lu Yu was secretly shocked in his heart: A woman? It can't be the Shen He I just met yesterday, right?
Shen He was awakened by a burst of fragrance, she opened her eyes in a daze, and slowly wanted to stand up, but as soon as she moved, she found that her hands and feet were still tied with ropes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She found herself lying on the ground, because the mat under her made her back hurt, and she hadn't experienced what it was like to lie on the ground for a long time. In the previous life, she had a superior family since she was a child, and then she wandered around, was bullied, often couldn't find a place to live, and lay on the ground in some broken temples, since the rebirth of this life, she worked hard to change the trajectory of fate, and life began to worry about food and clothing, the worst is to sleep on the couch, some time ago she also used the newly received silver to buy a four-frame bed for herself and Xiaocui, and Xiaocui was very happy.
But where is it now? She remembered that she seemed to have been stunned last night, and then she was unconscious. Thinking of this, she began to look around, and saw that she seemed to be in a small wooden house, and there was a small wooden table in front of her, on which was placed a bowl of porridge, a plate of pickles, and a few fragrant cakes, and the fragrance came from the cakes. Maybe it's because she hasn't eaten since last night, and now she feels unusually hungry looking at the food. As she was watching, she suddenly heard footsteps, and she hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. At this time, I only heard a man's voice say: "Mother, daughter-in-law, don't wake up, don't die", and another old woman's voice said: "Ah Niu, don't talk nonsense, wait a minute, my mother will see if the anesthetic strength has not passed, it stands to reason that she should wake up, or wait for Huiniang to use water to wash her face and try?" The two were still discussing, and Shen He slowly opened his eyes. When she opened her eyes, the man shouted happily: "Mother, look, daughter-in-law, wake up."
In front of Shen He was a tall and stout young man, who looked to be in his twenties, and a woman in her forties stood next to him. The man was wearing a short linen shirt with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and he was looking at Shen He in surprise, and the woman next to him was wearing a cotton skirt and was also looking at Shen He. The woman looked at Shen He's appearance, and couldn't help thinking, I spent thirty taels of silver to buy this woman yesterday, I originally thought it was expensive, but now I see her appearance, her eyes are big and bright, although her body is still a little thinner, and after raising it for a year and a half, she can be as strong as Ah Niu, and when the time comes, give Ah Niu a good-looking doll, so it looks like the silver is not in vain.
Shen He and the two were looking at each other, and suddenly there was a "gurgling" sound, which came from Shen He's uncompetitive stomach, Shen He's face was "Teng", and she really wanted to find a hole to get into now. But she can't be blamed, it's already the middle of the day, it's been more than a dozen hours since last night, and she hasn't dripped, no wonder her stomach will protest. The two also reacted, and the woman looked at the porridge and cakes on the table and said to the man: "Ah Niu, you are watching your daughter-in-law here, and your mother is going to give her a hot meal", the man named Ah Niu responded and continued to look at Shen He.
Shen He wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be smoking, and he said "cough" twice before he said in a hoarse voice: "Ah Niu, can you help me untie the rope?" Ah Niu looked at her and shook her head directly, "My mother said, the people under the mountain, cunning, don't believe it, untie the rope, run away, Ah Niu, no daughter-in-law."
Shen He looked at him speechlessly, when did he become someone else's daughter-in-law? But now it's really uncomfortable to lie on the ground like this, so he cleared his throat again and said: "Don't worry, I promise not to run, I haven't eaten now, I don't have any strength at all, and I can't run if I want to", Ah Niu thought about it, and then looked at Shen He's sincere look, and said: "You promise, don't run, I, untie", Shen He had no choice but to raise his tied hands and said: "Okay, I promise you, I will never run away", Ah Niu saw this, hesitated, slowly walked to her and squatted down, and gently untied the ropes of Shen He's hands and feet.
Shen He moved his hands and feet, and slowly stood up on the table next to him. After being tied up all night, her hands and feet were numb, and now she couldn't even stand steadily, and when she saw a square stool next to her, she hurriedly sat down.
Ah Niu watched her sit down, and also sat next to her and looked at her, as if he was afraid that she would escape, Shen He could carefully observe the surrounding environment now. She found that it was a wooden house, with a few animal skins and a few bows and arrows hanging on the walls of the house, and in addition to the wooden table in front of her, there was a wooden bed against the wall, which must have been made by the family themselves. Looking outside the house again, Shen He was completely dumbfounded.
Looking out from this wooden house, you can only see tall trees and mountains, it seems that this wooden house was built on a mountain, and it is still on a very high mountain, and you can see how high this mountain is by looking at the top of the mountain in the distance. Now don't say it's running away, even if she lets Shen He go, she doesn't dare, such a high mountain, with her foot strength, she can't go down the mountain even if it gets dark, not to mention that the jungle on the mountain is luxuriant, the trees are tall, and the roads in the mountains are complicated, she is not familiar with the way down the mountain, it is easy to find the direction and get lost in the mountains.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Shen He really didn't understand, how could he be taken to such a deep mountain and old forest overnight for no reason, could it be that he had traveled to another time and space? can see that these two people are dressed up, they are also dressed up by Nanchu people, and they are still the same as last night, what is going on?
Speaking of which, this matter has to start with the performance on the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen He was out of the limelight on the stage and angry with the apricot blossoms in the audience. After returning to the village, she was so angry that she didn't sleep well for several nights, and she kept thinking about how to relieve the hatred in her heart.
Later, in the autumn harvest season, when Xinghua and her mother went to harvest corn in the eastern slope field, they saw that Nanping Village next door was also busy in the distance.
Nanping Village is also a small village in Yong'an City, just southeast of Huaishu Village, separated by a river from Huaishu Village. It is said that there are two brothers in the village, named Song Hu and Song Leopard. The two brothers are tall and big, and they can use a little fist and kick, and they are tyrannical and evil in the village, and the people in the village dare not speak out. The two had met Xinghua at a village temple fair earlier, and knew that she was the "village flower" of Huaishu Village, and had been coveting her beauty. It's just that Xinghua is clever, and Wu Changzhi is used as a shield, and the two of them don't dare to make a mistake, but they will find an opportunity to do something to Xinghua openly and secretly. Xinghua has been angry with the two for a long time, and now she suddenly thought of a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
