Chapter 510: Stalling for Time

There was a commotion outside, with horses' hooves and human voices staggered, and the light of the fire even penetrated through the walls and into the house. Ye Xiaoyu's surroundings suddenly lit up.

By the light, she could see inside the house.

The mahogany round table, the carved cabinet box, the big red curtain, the half-pasted happy word, all the qiΔ“ in the house, all still retain the original appearance, Wang Huaiqing has not been here since he left Rongzhou.

"I obviously entered this alley just now, and after searching carefully, I definitely can't run far!!"

A vicious voice sounded outside the house.

Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but shrink back, these people wouldn't be searching the houses around the alley, right?

But it turned out to be better than she expected, and after a while, the sounds outside the door faded away, and the sound disappeared, and even the light of the fire began to dim.

Ye Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Wang Huaiqing said goodbye on the wedding day, she has always tried her best to escape from anything related to the Wang family, but she didn't expect that in the end, when it came to a critical juncture, it was the place where she wanted to escape the most saved her life.

God never plays cards according to common sense, so life is always full of yin and yang.

Although there was no movement outside the door, Ye Xiaoyu still didn't dare to relax too much, shrunk under the table, and opened her eyes wide, for fear that as soon as she relaxed, the group of people would break in.

After a while, there was a faint rooster crow in the distance, and then a bright light came through the window.

Ye Xiaoyu got out from under the table.

She had to get out of this place before the group could react. The house is not in danger for the time being. But it is not a place to stay for a long time, since it is in Huzhou, that group of people will come to the door sooner or later. She decided to go to Rongzhou City to take refuge first.

The front door of the house is a small alley, but the back door is next to a small street. The sky was getting brighter, there were already some stalls and pedestrians on the street, Ye Xiaoyu took Xiaobai, quickly came out of the door, and then ran towards the city gate as fast as possible.

She knows that it is dangerous to take the official road, but it may not be safe to take the waterway. Alone anyway. No matter which path you choose. It's all dangerous.

Although she was ready to meet the danger, Ye Xiaoyu didn't expect the danger to come so quickly, as soon as she walked out of the city gate, three or four men on horses suddenly appeared behind her. Then he began to follow her all the way unhurriedly.

Ye Xiaoyu was a little flustered. It's daytime. The reason why these people didn't do it was because there were still caravans coming and going on the official road, and they waited until night......

She didn't dare to think further. Just desperately driving the horses, hoping to get rid of the group.

Ye Xiaoyu's riding skills are good, but the group of people is not vegetarian, and they have been in a stalemate for a whole day, and the group of people still follow behind, neither stepping forward nor leaving, just keeping a certain distance to follow.

As soon as the sky darkened, the speed of the group of people behind them increased significantly, and Ye Xiaoyu was full of fear, so she had to drive the horse desperately. She remembered that there was a post station in front of her, but she had to go through the forest in front of her first.

"The girl in front of me has been on the road for a day, do you want to stop and rest for a while, brother, I have good rice wine here, how about not getting drunk tonight? Hahaha......"

Disgusting laughter came from behind him.

Ye Xiaoyu didn't care about him, but the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer.

"You're going to die anyway, for the sake of your possibility, it's better to let your brothers play for a while...... Haha......"

Disgusting laughter came one after another, Ye Xiaoyu didn't care about him, just desperately urged the horse to run forward. But even so, she knew that it seemed impossible for her to escape from those behind her this time.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through his ears, and then Ye Xiaoyu's whole person was picked up by a brute force and fell to the ground on the side of the road. Xiaobai was frightened, raised his front hooves, and kicked in a panic, but as if he had a spirit, this time, it did not run away as before, but stopped nearby.

"Didn't you say you should not run......"

The person holding Ye Xiaoyu said with banter.

"Big brother, you can't enjoy this good thing alone-"

A few people from behind followed.

"Let go of me-!!"

Ye Xiaoyu began to struggle. But the man's hoop was so tight that she couldn't even pull her hand out.

"I said don't move, it's useless for you to move no matter how much you move."

The man said, hugging him hard.

"There are so many of you, and all of them are men, what kind of hero are you to arrest me?"

Ye Xiaoyu blinked and said.

She decided to grind her tongue with the group first, maybe she could get something to say.

"Hahaha...... Hero? We're not rare at all, as long as we have money......"

One of the men laughed.

"Oh?"

Ye Xiaoyu deliberately dragged out her voice.

"I didn't think my life was worth anything?"

"That's, it's worth a lot."

"Today's Qinglou** has begun to bid so high?"

Ye Xiaoyu pretended to be surprised.

It was extremely uncomfortable for her hands to be grabbed by that person, but now she could only endure it in order to delay time.

"Qinglou? Hahaha......"

"Haha......"

As soon as they heard Ye Xiaoyu mention "Qinglou", the group of people began to laugh.

"You're naΓ―ve. But it's a pity, the person who spends the money is not Qinglou**, and besides, where will there be a Qinglou** who spends money to invite others to kill the girl. ”

The man who was holding her laughed.

"That ......"

Ye Xiaoyu frowned.

"We don't know who the specific person who spends the money is, we only recognize the money, and whoever gives more money, we will work for whom."

One of them saw that Ye Xiaoyu still wanted to ask, so he said directly.

Admit money and sell your life?

Ye Xiaoyu felt a little funny.

If only that were the case, she also had a lot of cash on her. It's just that this group of people has no credibility at all. If she asks a higher price now, not only will she still not be able to save her life, but she will die faster. This group of people will definitely pretend to agree, and when the money is in hand, they will kill her. In this way, the group of people will be paid twice.

"Don't you wonder why someone would pay so much for my life?"

Ye Xiaoyu's eyes rolled and looked at the group of people with a sincere expression.

"It's all said that we only recognize money."

The man who was holding her was a little impatient.

"And what if someone would pay more?"

The corners of Ye Xiaoyu's mouth rose.

"Higher prices? Are you saying you're going to pay a higher price so that we don't kill you? ”

Sure enough, someone immediately thought of this piece.

However, what Ye Xiaoyu wants to say is not this.

"Me?! How can it be?! ”

Ye Xiaoyu laughed, surprised to the point that she looked like she was a ghost.

"I mean, since someone has paid a lot of money for my life, it means that my life is worth something. I thought about it just now, and I thought that ordinary people have never had enemies on weekdays, and there is no question of personal vendetta at all. What does this mean? This shows that my life is estimated to have a special role, or special significance, and there are definitely other people who want my life......"

Seeing that everyone was listening, Ye Xiaoyu paused and continued.

"In that case, why did you kill me so quickly? Anyway, I'm already in your hands now, and I can't escape, you can go and find out the news again, see if there are any higher bids, do business and make money, and the most feared thing is to hang yourself on a tree. ”

"We killed you, keep your head, and we can still go for a high price."

The man who grabbed her said.

"Huh?! You're really ...... Well, you're really on all fours. ”

Ye Xiaoyu smiled helplessly.

"You can kill me, carry the head to the buyer. But the risk of this journey, you have to pass so many levels with a human head, you don't need me to say more, do you think it's easy? Also, even if you hide my head in one place, do you have to watch it alone? In the end, the buyer who paid the sky-high price is found, but he wants to live, then what are you going to do? ”

Ye Xiaoyu said as she looked at those people.

"I'm a living person, you just need to find someone to watch, and you don't have to worry about getting bad for a long time like a human head, it's not difficult to choose at all, right?"

"Hmph, this is just your side of the story, why should we believe you?"

One of the men said viciously.

"You can not believe me, anyway, my life has fallen into your hands, and I know that I can't survive, and I want to kill or chop you up. But people are dying, and their words are good, and those words just now are my kind reminder to you, but if you don't believe it, then I can't help it. ”

Ye Xiaoyu looked like he was dying bravely.

Several people exchanged glances with each other, as if they were discussing.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Xiaoyu began to observe the surrounding environment, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

"Big brother, just kill her directly, why do you want so much?!"

A younger man said, and came with a knife.

Then the knife instantly landed on Ye Xiaoyu's neck.

Seeing that there was a knife holding, the man who had been holding Ye Xiaoyu finally let go of his hand and left the position of "caretaker" to his little brother.

Ye Xiaoyu took the opportunity to turn her wrist. I was grabbed by that man all the time, and my whole wrist was red.

"Then kill me, and you won't regret it then."

Looking at that group of people, Ye Xiaoyu was directly ruthless, she was sure that what she said just now had worked.

"What fights and kills, how uncivilized? ――”

As soon as the words fell, another group of people suddenly came out of the woods, dressed like the group of people who grabbed Ye Xiaoyu, but there were more people.

Rub, it can't be reinforcements from this group of people, right?

Ye Xiaoyu said secretly in her heart.

"Hmph, where did the wild man come from, and it's your turn to interject here?"

The people who grabbed Ye Xiaoyu began to retort loudly. (To be continued......)
