Chapter Ninety-Seven: Kidnapped

Zhou Xiya was silent, there was no chance between each other, and it was useless to say more.

"Will you be happy?" Xiao Jingqing asked.

"Yes, I will be happy." Zhou Xiya looked directly at Xiao Jingqing and did not flinch.

"That's good, as long as you're good, I'll rest assured, no matter when, I want you to remember that there is a me behind you, this is my token, you can come to me if you have anything." Xiao Jingqing took off the jade pendant on his body and handed it to Zhou Xiya without refusal.

"Okay, then I'll take it first." Zhou Xiya had no choice but to accept it, thinking about when to return this to him.

Li Mu saw Xiao Jingqing and Zhou Xiya talking, there is no past, lovers need to trust each other.

Zhou Xiya watched the maid bring food to everyone, because she was working, there were many people here, it was not convenient to do anything, and there were not so many bowls and chopsticks, Zhou Xiya directly asked people to make burritos, the staple food and vegetables were available, and it was almost full to eat a burrito, and after a while, drink some ginger sugar water to warm up, and then have the strength to work, this morning, they didn't dig up much, it seems that it will take two more days.

"Little sister, what's the matter with that Xiao Jingqing, why did I just see that he didn't look at you right?" Zhou Guangbi washed his hands and came over.

"Eat your cake," Zhou Xiya rolled a cake and stuffed it for him.

"Little sister, you are abusing me, why did you roll so much meat for Li Mu just now, and I am such a scumbag." Zhou Guangbi protested, but he was secretly laughing in his heart, it must be the peach blossom provoked by the little sister, a good girl, Li Mu is good. However, he, who is an elder brother, is naturally willing to see the scene of the little sister being competed for by excellent men, the more sought-after, the better the little sister is.

"It's good to eat meat for you, Li Mu helped clean up the mud, how much work did you do, what do you dare, I only saw you talking, I don't know, I think you are a weak scholar who can't resist and can't lift it, look at you. Do you still have the appearance of a young red tassel on the battlefield? Zhou Xiya glanced at the third brother.

"You're starting to be an extrovert now. Li Mu does a little work, you feel distressed, how do you know that I didn't do it, if it weren't for my scheduling in this drama, you thought you could dig so fast. We're three groups of people. Fragmented. It's all because I'm here to direct that I can dig so fast. Zhou Guangbi was unconvinced, he was also very hard, okay. The little sister really can't see him doing well.

"Yes, it's really hard for you, you get a foot of mud, but your body is clean." Zhou Xiya deliberately quarreled with the three. Women just have a few days to be unreasonable, so they have to endure it.

Zhou Guangbi took a big bite of the cake and kept rolling his eyes, he knew that he was suffering from the pond fish, and who made her unhappy, like a hedgehog, full of thorns.

Next, the two parties are peaceful, everyone is digging hard in the mud, but when eating, Zhou Xiya will send them the food, and she will not go to the official road at other times, a large group of men are working there, and they are working bare-chested, and it is not suitable for girls in the past.

In the blink of an eye, on the third day, the dry food they brought was almost eaten, and Zhou Xiya asked the grandmother next to her to take the maid to the village to buy some rice, flour and meat, otherwise she could only wait until the next town to buy.

Zhou Xiya is looking at how much food they have left, and they are about to prepare lunch, they have not closed Xiao Jingqing's side in the past two days, everyone eats separately, and there is no intersection.

"Miss, the third young master asked me to come over and tell you that the road is about to be rushed, and it should be almost in the afternoon, the third young master asked you to pack your luggage, and we may be in a hurry when we go down." At this time, a small guy came to inform.

"Okay, I got it." Zhou Xiya nodded, she was finally able to go, and she hurried in the afternoon, and when she arrived in the next town, it was estimated that it would be midnight, it seemed that she was really in a hurry, or she would not have been in a hurry in the middle of the night.

The little guy turned around and ran out, and when he passed by the entrance of the village, he was stopped by a person, "This little brother, let me ask, are you from the caravan?" ”

"yes." The little guy nodded.

"Where are you stayed? I see so many people digging up the silt? The man continued.

"We were arranged to live in the ancestral hall, where do you live?" Xiao Wu regarded this person as Xiao Jingqing's pair, after all, there were too many outsiders here, and he couldn't tell who was who.

"Oh, we live in a villager's house," the man explained, turning and leaving, but instead of going to the village, or to the official road where the mudslide had occurred, he went in the other direction.

The little guy scratched his head, a little puzzled, but he didn't care, he just thought that he was asking for directions, so he ran away.

The man walked into the woods not far from the village, and when he came nearer, he saw that there was no one behind, and walked quickly into the woods, and saw that there were seven or eight people hidden in the woods, each of whom was leading a horse.

"Boss, ask clearly, the idea is in the ancestral hall, after two days of stepping on the point, the idea will only be delivered at noon with the maid, now it must be in the ancestral hall, now their manpower is arranged to dig here, the ancestral hall must be good to rob people." Boss, now that the official road is about to be cleared, if you don't start again, there is no time when such an opportunity will come, there are always many people around her to protect her, and our brothers are not their opponents. The man said to a middle-aged man.

"Okay, then let's go now, brothers, if this vote is done well, we won't have to come out in two or three years, brothers." The boss shouted and turned over his horse, and several people rushed out of the forest, avoiding the direction of the official road, and went around into the village in another direction.

"Bijin, go and see why Mama Liu hasn't come back yet, if you can't buy rice and noodles or anything, don't buy it, let everyone have a meal at noon, and it will be much better when they get to the city." Zhou Xiya saw that Mama Liu and the others had not come back yet, so she directly instructed Bi Jin, she also knew that the people's lives were not rich, and it would be good for the family to eat a meal of rice and noodles, maybe because there was no good food, Mama Liu and they did not come back.

"Miss, my duty is to protect you, and I can't leave you." shook her head.

"I'm fine in the ancestral hall, how can there be anything, and several big men can't get close to me, so it's hard that someone has come to kidnap me. Let's go, or we won't have lunch, and we'll be hungry after a long day's work. Zhou Xiya smiled and pushed Bijin out.

"Miss......" Bijin was not at ease.

"Go quickly" Zhou Xiya reprimanded, and Bi Jin had no choice but to leave.

Zhou Xiya was packing up her salute, when she heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, she couldn't help frowning, where did so many horses come from in the village, just went out to look, and saw seven or eight men rushing outside. Look at their stance. Zhou Xiya knew that this was not an ordinary person.

"Who are you?" Zhou Xiya stood at the door of the ancestral hall and looked at a few people coldly.

"God help me, you don't have any people, who are we? We are the ones who have come to kidnap you. The middle-aged man laughed.

"You are the people sent by Zhou Xiwan?" The first thing Zhou Xiya thought of was her.

"You don't care who it is, brothers. Tie up the woman and take it away. The boss waved his hand. The three big men stepped forward directly.

It's a pity that they all underestimated Zhou Xiya. Zhou Xiya struck first and attacked directly, the dagger in her boots flashing brightly. One rolled over, his arm raised, and a bloody mark had been cut on a man's neck, and the man fell to the ground.

"Brethren, be careful, this is a hard stubble, hurry up." The boss opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly, and the rest of the people rushed over, they all had weapons in their hands, with knives, Zhou Xiya only had a dagger in his hand, these people knew martial arts, and their fists were invincible to four hands, although Zhou Xiya insisted hard, hoping that they could rush over, but unfortunately they were caught in the end.

Syllable...... The boss slapped Zhou Xiya in the face and threatened: "Stinky girl. Guys, you're still very powerful, I really underestimated you, if you dare to toss like this again, Lao Tzu will chop you up and feed you to the dogs. ”

Zhou Xiya's eyes looked at these men fiercely, she remembered them, this slap revenge, she wanted to make them pay a hundred times the price.

"Take it away" The boss ordered, and immediately someone put Zhou Xiya in a sack, put it on the back of the horse, and left quickly.

And when Bi Jin, who heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, hurried back, the building was already empty, and there was still a person in the ancestral hall, no, there was a dead man with his throat cut on the ground.

Bijin panicked, directly untied a horse in the yard, and the flying horse ran to the official road.

"Third Young Master, Third Young Master, the eldest lady has been kidnapped" Bi Jin began to shout from afar.

"What, what did you say, what's wrong with Zhou Xiya?" When Xiao Jingqing, who was closest to him, heard it, he grabbed Bi Jin, who got off the horse.

"Miss was kidnapped, and a man with his throat cut was left in the ancestral hall, and Miss was left alone in the ancestral hall at that time, and I heard the sound of horses' hooves, but when I rushed over, it was too late." Bi Jin's eyes were red, not to cry, but to hate, hating herself for being useless, not protecting Miss, why did she leave Miss's side.

When Xiao Jingqing heard this, he pushed away the blue marks next to the horse, snatched the horse, and looked for it in the direction of the village.

This Li Mu and Zhou Guangbi also ran over, and they didn't have time to ask anything, so they hurriedly asked people to go to the village to lead the horses, and it was important to find someone quickly, if they entered the city, it would be difficult to find them again-

Several bandits kidnapped Zhou Xiya, galloped away in the direction where Zhou Xiya and the others came, and walked for half a day to reach the nearest county seat.

Originally, they used to do this kind of work to catch someone and kill them directly, but the employer asked them to ask what an antidote was, if they couldn't ask, they couldn't kill it, but the torture was certain, hehe, as for what means, they didn't have the heart to come, they were all outlaws, this means?

Xiao Jingqing chased along the horseshoe prints all the way, but the more he went to the direction of the county, the more horseshoe prints, this is a traffic artery, there are roads leading to all directions, when he reached the three-way intersection, Xiao Jingqing stopped, which direction should he chase now, the horseshoe prints on the ground are new, he saw someone riding by on that road, this time it was difficult for Xiao Jingqing, so he had to choose a road to the direction of the capital.

The bandits ran fast for a long time, and came to the nearest county seat, Zhou Xiya was knocked out of the village by them, this bumpy all the way, Zhou Xiya slowly woke up, but the person was packed in a sack, unable to move, and the bumps were about to vomit, but they had to find a way to save themselves.

Laboriously touched the hairpin on her head, this is a set of jewelry designed by Li Mu for her, and her name is engraved on it - Xiya, the hairpin is gold, and it is inlaid with rubies, Zhou Xiya used the tip of the hairpin to poke the sack hard, hoping to make a hole.

When I arrived at the city gate, there were soldiers guarding the city at the city gate to check the people who came and went, in fact, they were collecting tolls, and now it was almost dark, and the people outside the city had worked in the city for a day, and they had to go out of the city to go home, so the city gate was a little blocked.

The boss waited anxiously, looking back from time to time.

And on one side of them was also a pair of centaurs, it was Dugu Jin, Dugu Jin just glanced at them, and then stopped looking.

"Young master, it's already so late, we've been on the road for a few days, why don't we rest in the city for a night before we go." The guards beside Dugu Jin reminded that in the past few days, the young master has been desperately rushing to chase Miss Zhou, and his body can't stand it if he goes on like this.

"Shut up, if you don't catch up, they don't know where they're going to go, and it's not easy to find their traces." Dugu Jin scolded, his voice a little hoarse.

This is this sentence for Zhou Xiya in the sack, it is the sound of heaven, this must be Dugu Jin's voice.

Zhou Xiya moved, and forcefully stuffed the hairpin in her hand out of the hole she had scratched, and with a click, the hairpin fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

When the boss heard this, he was about to bow his head, but the team in front of him moved, so he had to clamp the horse's belly and walk towards the city.

The guards beside Dugu Jin frowned, the few people who passed just now were obviously a little wrong, they didn't look like good people, and the sack on the back of one of the horses seemed to be filled with people, seeing the hairpin on the ground, after thinking about it, he leaned over and picked it up.

The guard glanced at it, this hairpin is very precious at a glance, and when he saw the small words engraved on it, the guard was surprised, "Young master, look, is the word on this hairpin Miss Zhou's name?"

Dugu Jin snatched it, saw the words on it, and saw the people and horses who had entered the city without a trace, and turned the horse's head, "Follow me"

Several people squeezed through the crowd and, under the scolding of the guards guarding the gate, approached the county seat.

Who are those people, the people in the sack are really Zhou Xiya, Dugu Jin hates himself a little, why don't you take a second look and ask, those people are obviously not good people, but there are many things that lose the population every year, he doesn't want to be nosy, and he didn't expect to miss it.

Not long after Dugu Jin and they entered the city, Xiao Jingqing also arrived, Xiao Jingqing didn't know what kind of person arrested Zhou Xiya, so he couldn't ask the people around him, so he could only ask the people at the city gate if there was a team of horseback riders. (To be continued......)
