"What does it smell like? Have it? Shi Qi was skeptical, and he also took out a string of rock sugar gourds and tasted them, but he didn't find anything different.

"The taste of freedom!" Ru Xuan squinted, tilted her head, and smiled evilly.

Yes, freedom, there are too many rules in the palace, there is no freedom.

Therefore, he is unwilling to stay in the palace and live a life of bondage.

Therefore, he also told the man that if he was done with these things, he must be allowed to leave the palace.

Shiqi thought about things, and accidentally lost his mind, and the rock sugar gourd in his hand dripped on his hand due to the heat.

"Let's go over there." Ru Xuan looked like he seemed to have something on his mind, pulled his sleeve, and pointed to the willow forest trail next to him.

It is said that it is a small road, but it is not narrow, but the willows on both sides are lush, the houses are numerous, and it is late at this time, and there are not many pedestrians on the road, so it seems a little deserted.

"Okay." Shi Qifang was also a little full of food, just to eliminate his food, so he followed Ru Xuan along the road.

The road paved with bluestone slabs is very smooth, but because the road surface is wet, there are a lot of moss on the edges of the stone slabs, and if you are not careful, it is easy to slip.

"You have to be careful, the road is slippery here." Shiqi reminded Ru Xuan.

"Yes." Ru Xuan walked next to Shiqi, the tip of her nose was slightly red.

The two of them walked quietly, slowly, step by step, and the big red lantern hanging at the door of the house gradually stretched the figures of the two people and merged them together in place.

Occasionally, a few pedestrians pass by them. It's just that he's in a hurry, and he seems to be in a hurry to get home.

Suddenly, there was a shrill shout. Coming out of nowhere, out of place.

"Help!"

It was the shouts of women, followed by the voices and laughter of men.

Ru Xuan and Shi Qi stopped at the same time and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

On the left-hand side is an alley of a house, and the sound seems to come from the alley.

"Help, don't!" It was still the voice of the woman calling for help, and then. There seems to be the sound of something being torn.

Someone is playing hooligan!

Ru Xuan preliminarily judged that someone wanted to do something wrong.

"I'll take a look." As a woman, Ru Xuan suddenly felt a sense of justice when she thought of the scene where a woman was victimized, and she rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush into the alley.

"You're waiting here. I'll take a look. Shi Qi grabbed Ru Xuan, stuffed the miscellaneous food in his hand into Ru Xuan's hand, and instructed: "Remember, you must not walk around." ”

said. Then he turned and rushed into the dark alley.

"Help!"

The voice came again. Ru Xuan's heart was tense.

Hopefully, nothing will happen.

After praying silently several times, Ru Xuan still couldn't feel at ease, and walked around the door of a house anxiously.

Once, she almost encountered this thing.

It was when she was still in high school, after evening self-study, on the way home alone. When passing through an alley entrance, he was dragged into the alley by a homeless man on the side of the road.

Ru Xuan at that time. I was so scared that I almost cried, especially when I was pressed to the ground by the homeless man and gagged, I wished I would die immediately.

Fortunately, a maintenance worker who worked overtime until late to get home was rescued from the clutches of the homeless man by chance when he ran into her by chance in order to take a shortcut home.

Therefore, Ru Xuan could understand the mood of the woman in danger at this time.

Therefore, Ru Xuan just rushed over to rescue her.

The sound of help didn't seem to come anymore, Ru Xuan became more and more uneasy, and the speed of pacing in place also increased.

In the distance, the sound of clattering horses' hooves gradually sounded, from far to near.

And Shi Qi, who rushed into the alley, looked for the direction where the voice came from just now, until the end of the alley, he saw a strong man, holding a woman in green who seemed to be dying, and when the woman saw Shi Qi coming, she said in a low voice: "Save me." And he fainted.

"Let go of that girl!" Shiqi shouted.

Unexpectedly, the strong man did not seem to be alarmed by Shiqi's arrival, but instead carried the woman on his shoulder with one hand, and ran away.

"Stop!" Shi Qi shouted, but the other party did not slow down, and Shi Qi then exerted his strength under his feet and chased after him.

But after chasing for a while, Shiqi obviously felt that something was wrong.

Not only was the strong man very fast, but he was so strong that he could easily cross the wall of the alley with a girl on his back, and, after a cup of tea, the strong man's speed did not weaken, but became faster and faster.

Obviously, that strong man's kung fu is not bad!

Leg and foot kung fu, not under yourself!

Oops!

Shiqi suddenly remembered Ru Xuan, who was still waiting for her in place, and suddenly came back to her senses.

Is it a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?

Shiqi no longer cared about the girl who had been kidnapped by the strong man, and then turned around and galloped away along the way back.

Shi Qi returned to the place where Ru Xuan was just now, but it was empty, and the food scattered on the ground and trampled on it was messy, indicating that Ru Xuan was forcibly taken away.

"Ru Xuan!" Shiqi shouted anxiously, but the only thing that could respond to him was the empty and quiet alley.

A few birds were awakened by the shouts of Shiqi, and realizing that their territory had been violated, fluttered up, knocking off a few leaves that had dried yellow.

A qiē is like a dream.

Up to now, Ru Xuan was also in a trance, and she didn't know how she ended up in this step.

I only remember that Fang Cai, she was standing in place waiting for Shiqi, and suddenly she was covered by a sack, and when she struggled with all her strength, a faint fragrance hit her nose, and her consciousness slowly blurred.

Then, Ru Xuan seemed to feel that someone had been carried into the carriage and brought to her current place.

After about half an hour, Ru Xuan's consciousness gradually recovered, and she subconsciously wanted to call for help, but found that her hands and feet had been tied with flowers, her eyes were covered with thick strips of cloth, and her mouth was tightly gagged.

Kidnapping?

This was Ru Xuan's first thought, and then quickly denied it.

She is just a rough palace maid, and she came out today and dressed very ordinary, not a rich lady at all, kidnapped her, and there was no oil and water to fish.

It can't be trafficking, right......

This is Ru Xuan's second thought, which seems to hold up.

abducting women and children, selling them to desolate and impoverished places as child brides, or selling them in kilns to be used as prostitutes......

No way!

No, you can't say anything and don't be a child bride!

Thinking of the cases of abusing women in the old society, Ru Xuan felt a tingling in her body, and subconsciously broke free from the rope that bound her body.

"Be honest!" A rough voice, apparently a man.

This unkind warning frightened Ru Xuan to stop her movements immediately, and at the same time heard the sound of low cries and whimpering struggles when she was gagged.

It turns out that so many people are in trouble!

Ru Xuan became more and more sure that she had fallen into the trap of criminals, who used bait to distract her female companions while waiting for an opportunity to take them away.

What a plan!

Ru Xuan snorted coldly, pricked up her ears, listened carefully to the surrounding situation, and prepared to wait for an opportunity.

After that harsh warning, silence reigned around them, and the women who had been taken captive, as if fearful, did not dare to make the slightest noise.

For a while, the surroundings were quiet, and the "rustle" sound of the soles of the guards rubbing against the ground could be heard as the guards walked back and forth.

I don't know how long it was, but I faintly heard the "creak" of the door being opened, and then a lighter step came in my direction.

"My good sister, you're here." The rough voice sounded again, but there was less of Fang Cai's sharp voice, and there was more of a coquettish feeling, but no matter how gentle the words were, with a rough voice, it really didn't have any good effect.

As soon as she heard this voice, Ru Xuan's mind suddenly made up a picture of a strong man with a scruffy beard, pulling a scene of a middle-aged woman twisting and coquettish, and suddenly felt a chill.

"Everyone is here?" The delicate voice asked, softly, just listening to the tone, you can be sure that you are middle-aged.

"It's all here, they're all good women, and they're very clean." The man replied in a whisper.

"Yes, got it." The woman agreed, and came closer.

Immediately, Ru Xuan smelled a choking scent of smoke, her nose suddenly itched, and she couldn't help but want to sneeze, but unfortunately, her mouth was blocked too tightly, and this sneeze really couldn't be sneezed, so she held back a bunch of tears.

It's so sad......

Ru Xuan looked helplessly at the sky at a forty-five degree angle above the left with teary eyes.

"Plain." The middle-aged woman looked around, and seemed not very satisfied with the appearance of the captive women, and said a word of dissatisfaction. But when she saw Ru Xuan look up, she said with a smile: "This is not bad." ”

Although she was blindfolded and couldn't see who the middle-aged woman was talking about, Ru Xuan still "chuckled" in her heart, and was faintly uneasy.

It's not that I think I have an outstanding appearance, but I can be selected to be a palace maid in the palace, even if it is a rough palace maid, it is all selected by thousands of people, and it is naturally more delicate than ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Ru Xuan subconsciously shrank her neck, and leaned back a little.

The other girls who were taken captive were also shocked, and they all bowed their heads, trembling in fear, and even a few of them were timid, and they cried quietly.

It's just that other people's expressions are more and more prominent, Ru Xuan's fearlessness, and there is a kind of differentiation that stands out from the crowd.

"Okay, that's her." The middle-aged woman seemed to take a fancy to Ru Xuan, and instructed the rugged man: "Take her away for me." ”

"Okay!" The rugged man readily agreed, carrying Ru Xuan out of the crowd like a chicken.

Ru Xuan struggled desperately, but her hands and feet were tied by ropes, and after some struggle, not only did she not break free, but she made a few more strangulation marks on her body. (To be continued......)
