After a night of silence, Chen Ziqian, who was in a coma, woke up leisurely under the stimulation of a dazzling bright light.

It's just that as soon as I opened my eyes, I found that something was wrong, the whole person was tied to the ground with five flowers, and a ball of rags was stuffed in my mouth.

Looking around, except for the four mountain walls, there was only a pile of altars and clay pots in the corner, and the strong light shone in through a skylight overhead.

This place is obviously a cellar used to store dried pickles?

Why is Lao Tzu in such a place?

It's still not Lu Yunshan, what about those kidnappers, what do they want to do?

"Woo woo woo ......" Chen Ziqian's thoughts turned into a mess, and he struggled to make a series of dull sounds.

Soon, someone from the skylight above his head heard the movement and said, "What's the noise, it's early in the morning, and you don't want people to sleep?" ”

"Woo woo woo ......" Chen Ziqian continued to protest and signaled, if he fell into this field, if he didn't hurry up and find a way to save himself, he might really be torn up.

The man on the skylight was very irritated when he listened to the whimper, and he lowered a centipede ladder and went into the cellar.

Chen Ziqian was ready to be beaten, bowed his body, and protected his body as much as possible.

But he thought too much, this person was not a bandit, just an ordinary civilian.

The man who came was in his early thirties, dressed in a burlap coat, and when he came over, he leaned over and removed the rags from his mouth.

"Poof!" Chen Ziqian took a breath and looked at the middle-aged man with an innocent face: "Who are you and why did you arrest me?" ”

Chen Ziqian saw through the other party's information at a glance, but in order to avoid revealing his stuffing, he had to pretend to be tempted.

The middle-aged man didn't answer, took off the water bladder on his waist, grabbed Chen Ziqian's jaw with one hand, forcibly poured a few mouthfuls of water into it, and then picked up the rag and stuffed it into Chen Ziqian's mouth.

"Wait, wait......" Chen Ziqian hurriedly signaled, "I'm hungry and need to eat." ”

"Little rabbit cubs, they have all become prisoners, and there are so many things." The middle-aged man scolded casually, not intending to cooperate at all.

Seeing this, Chen Ziqian hurriedly explained: "I am sick, hungry, and I will die if I don't eat, since you kidnapped me, you definitely don't want me to die, right, give me a stutter, I won't get sick if I eat." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had heard of such a strange illness.

However, he was really worried that there would be some accidents, so that they would have no capital to negotiate conditions with the officers and soldiers outside.

Anyway, this person is already tied up, and he can't run out here, so he just meets this little request.

Reluctantly, he took out a piece of coarse grain cake from his arms, tore off a small piece and stuffed it into Chen Ziqian's mouth.

The middle-aged man saw Chen Ziqian chewing heavily, as if he was really hungry, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is hunger, why have I never heard of it?" ”

"I don't know what the disease is, Lang Zhong said that this disease is caused by long-term hunger, and if you don't eat for a while, you will get sick, and if the situation is serious, you will die directly." Chen Ziqian is talking nonsense, how can he have any hunger, this is just a deliberate trick.

The middle-aged man said in disbelief: "Are you fooling a ghost?" He looks white and pure and rich, where is he like a person who has been starving for a long time? ”

"You're judging people by their appearance." Chen Ziqian said with an innocent face: "My family used to be poor, my mother used to let me eat a full meal, often put down her own rations, and I was hungry for several days, and then I found out about it, so I went on a hunger strike to protest, and since then I have fallen ill......

Chen Ziqian still has the ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense, and he first set up a sensible and filial character for himself as soon as he broke it.

After listening to this, the middle-aged man was very useful, and his impression of Chen Ziqian also changed slightly: "Since you are from a poor background, why are there so many officers and soldiers around you?" ”

"Of course, it's because I'm angry and strong, and I have this treatment because I have made a name for myself with my ability, after all, I have been hungry since I was a child, and my mother has high hopes, if I don't work hard, how can I take my mother to live a good life?" Chen Ziqian came as soon as he opened his mouth, and the middle-aged man who said this had no way to refute it.

"There are more than 300 guards, you should be a big official now, right?" The middle-aged man began to admire Chen Ziqian a little, he was so filial and sensible at a young age, and the key was that he was so promising, and he became a big official by himself.

His parents must be very happy to have such an achievement.

Chen Ziqian shook his head and said: "It's not a big official, it's just that he knows some words, and he helps to count the household registration in the county office, and this time he came out and was appointed by the county order to go to Luyun Mountain to count the population registration of the surrounding villages, you also know that this army is in chaos, and the county order is also worried about encountering lawbreakers on the road, so I was equipped with these guards for safety reasons, oh yes, this should be Lu Yunshan, right?" Why is there no one in the village, I still want to count the household registration. ”

"What else can be counted, the village was broken by the rogues more than two months ago, the owner of the village and many young and strong people have been killed by the rogues in order to protect everyone, and now there are only some old and weak women and children left in Luyun Village, everyone has been staying here for more than two months, and they have long planned to leave."

"Leave? There is a war going on everywhere outside, where can a group of old and weak women and children go? Chen Ziqian pried open the other party's chatterbox, and took the opportunity to start talking.

The middle-aged man briefly talked to Chen Ziqian for a few words, his vigilance was much looser, and he didn't have any reservations when he talked about it in detail.

Chen Ziqian coped with it very naturally, and from time to time took the initiative to ask the middle-aged man for a mouthful of coarse grain cakes, and listened to the other party's secret story with a sincere face.

This group of people are all survivors of Luyun Village, and after the village was broken by the Liukou, they hid in the mountains.

After the robbers left, they did not dare to return to the village to live, fearing that there would be rogues coming to their door again in the future.

For more than two months, they lived here, waiting for the young master of their village to come back to preside over the overall situation.

But the companions sent to find the young master have been heard from as soon as they left, and so far five people have been sent out, and none of them have returned, and I don't know what happened.

Seeing that the surplus grain in the mountains was about to be eaten, it happened that Chen Ziqian led people to settle in Luyun Mountain, and the young lady who led them decided to tie up Chen Ziqian, so as to ask for some ransom and horses, so that they could take the old and weak women and children to Baoyuan to join the young master.

"Young lady? Bao Yuan? Young master? Chen Ziqian muttered to himself in his heart, keenly catching this information.

Villages like Lu Yunshan are actually not bandit dens or ordinary villages, most of these villages have been lived here by ancestors for generations, and over time they have developed from small families to clans with the same surname.

The owner of the village is similar to the head of the family, and the young master is the heir.

"It was you young lady who kidnapped me last night?" Chen Ziqian raised his eyebrows, thinking of the face he saw before he fell unconscious last night.

At that time, the situation was sudden, and the vision was blurred and dim, and he fainted before he had time to look at the other party's attributes.

Now that I know that the leader of this group is a woman, I must inquire about the other party's information first if I have the opportunity.

The middle-aged man was about to speak back, but the skylight above his head took the lead in poking out a heroic face and interrupted: "Uncle Shengyuan, bring him up." ”

"Young lady!" The middle-aged man glanced up, nodded and dragged Chen Ziqian up from the ground.

Although Chen Ziqian's body was tied up with flowers, his head could move freely, and he looked up and stared at the comer.
