Hearing that scream, Su Ya and the strange man were startled at the same time, and they also drew a question mark in their hearts at the same time: "What?" Is there anyone else living in this valley? Again, they looked at the same place where the cry was coming from.

I saw a woman in her fifties standing on the small wooden bridge, her hair was all pulled back and tied into a bag, her body looked slightly fat, her face was dark, her body was draped in a big red flannel cloth and maple, and she was wearing a blue and white flower skirt that was not very fresh, and she was wearing a pair of cloth shoes with purple flowers on a black background on her feet, and she carried a large basket covered with a lid on her left arm.

When she saw the strange man with blue light in his eyes holding the sword on Su Ya's neck, her face looked unusually frightened, and the scream just now came from her mouth.

But the woman did not flee because she saw what she feared, and when the panic had passed, she eagerly approached Su Ya and the strange man, and as she approached them, she said to the strange man, "Keep people under the sword!" Keep people under the sword! Be careful! Don't hurt anyone! ”

Su Ya, who was still worried about the danger of this woman's sudden appearance, had strong doubts in her heart after the woman approached step by step, she thought to herself: "Why does this woman seem to cherish her life more than me, is it possible that today she is going to stage a 'road is uneven, draw a knife to help'?" ”

Even if the woman really meant to "draw the sword to help", when the strange man turned his head to look at the woman, perhaps because of her small body and weak strength, even if he heard her sentence "keep people under the sword", he was still indifferent, and only heard him ask the woman, "Who are you?" Why do you call me 'keep people under the sword'? ”

The woman's face showed an anxious look, but it seemed that she was still answering the strange man's question honestly, and only listened to her: "This young man under your sword is a guest of my valley lord, and if you kill her here, if my valley lord finds out, he will definitely blame me for not taking good care of the guest, and I don't know how to punish me." So, I hope you can show mercy to her and spare her life! ”

After listening to the woman's words, Su Ya's heart had a little score.

When the strange man heard the woman's words, he seemed to believe the truth, but he hurriedly asked the woman, "Who is the lord of your house, and where is he now?" ”

When the woman heard the strange man's question, she hurriedly replied, "You want to know the whereabouts of my valley master, alas! Say it earlier! I'll take you there! Although this young man is a guest of my valley master, she has recently been injured and is constantly recuperating, but she does not know where my valley lord lives. Luckily, I happened to be passing by, and you ran into me."

The woman chattered for a while, but when she saw that the strange man's sword was still on Su Ya's neck, she didn't mean to move at all, so she couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "Why are you still stunned here?" Go, put your sword down, and I'll take you to my valley master." ”

The strange man sneered slyly: "How do I know if you are playing tricks with me, if you want me to go with you, you can do it, but you have to let me take her!" ”

When the woman heard the strange man's words, she was slightly stunned at first, and prevaricated while being stunned: "You, you, you are really hearty."

After a few prevarications, the woman continued: "Otherwise, I have a rope with me, and I think it is more than enough to bind the young man. If you don't feel at ease, tie her to a tree first. Don't look at this young man's strong body, but in fact, he fell off a cliff a while ago, and the injuries on his body didn't get any better. Since she is injured, she must walk slowly, for fear of delaying our trip, so I won't take her with me; Besides, if you don't want to hold someone hostage, I can also be held hostage by you, if I really play some tricks like you said, you can just tie me up? ”

The strange man listened to the woman's words, and seemed to be really hesitant, seeing that his hand holding the sword finally wanted to withdraw it, but he was still unforgiving, and still continued to question the woman: "Why do you still like to carry a rope with you?" ”

The woman smiled and replied, "I just collected the clothes for drying and took them with me, and I still have them on my body!" No way, forget jì let go of the house! ”

The woman said so many words that at last the strange man was impressed, and the strange man drew back the sword that was hanging around Su Ya's neck, and then reached out to the woman to ask for a rope, and the woman handed the rope in the basket to the strange man, and after the strange man took the rope, he tied Su Ya to a tree thicker than the body of a barbarian.

While being tied up by a strange man, Su Ya pondered: "This strange person is not stupid, he even knows how to find a thicker tree when he ties me up." But even if the rope was tightly tied, what if the tree behind him was thick enough? By the afternoon, I had become a serpent, and I had a way to hold the rope apart anyway. ”

Su Ya secretly planned like this, and she didn't squeak even if the strange man tied herself tightly to the tree.

After the strange man tied Su Ya, a stone in his heart seemed to be stacked down, but he still had no good intentions, and he drew the sword from his waist again, and this time he aimed it at the woman, and said to her, "Now you can sue me, what does the valley lord you keep talking about, what does he do?" ”

"He's just a farmer," the woman seemed, apparently unaware.

When the strange man heard this, he no longer seemed to doubt what the woman had said, but heard him coldly let out a sentence: "You lead the way ahead, take me to your valley master, remember, don't play tricks!" ”

When the woman heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly turned around and led the way, leading the way while constantly rambling: "I won't play tricks, be careful with your sword, don't stab me, if you really see me play tricks, and stab me again, I'm willing, but I haven't played tricks yet, don't stab me."

The strange man seemed impatient with her nagging, and quickly interrupted her: "If you talk about it again, I'll really stab it!" ”

When the woman heard this, she quickly shut up, but led the way in front of her, and led the stranger over the little wooden bridge into the depths of the woods.

When the stranger and the woman had gone away, Su Ya, who was tied to a thick tree, was standing right in front of the dazzling sun. After the strange man and the woman walked for a while, the scorching sunlight still shrouded Su Ya's body, causing Su Ya to feel hot and dazzling, and in desperation, she had to close her eyes to recuperate.

Suddenly, Su Ya seemed to feel that something seemed to be melting on her body, she quickly opened her eyes and looked towards the place where she felt the melting, only to find that she didn't know when, the original rope that bound her body turned into two snakes with long and thin bodies, gray and spitting letters.

Although Su Ya was surprised to see the two snakes crawling on her body, she was not afraid.

Sure enough, although the two snakes fused back and forth on Su Ya's body, they only slowly crawled away from Su Ya's body, but they didn't mean to hurt her at all.

Seeing the two snakes crawling away, Su Ya was finally relieved, and just took a deep breath, but she seemed to smell a stuffy fragrance between her noses. She hurriedly followed the scent to find the large basket left by the woman beside her. She approached strangely and opened the basket to see what it contained, but when she opened it, she found that it contained vegetables and meat, rice and pasta, but this basket had much more food than the previous two meals.

In fact, from the moment she saw the woman holding a basket, she guessed that she was not far from ten.

Su Ya stood up, and when she looked at the woods behind the small wooden bridge, where the woman and the strange man had disappeared, she thought to herself: "I didn't expect him to be so fond of tricks!" ”
