Chapter 42: Congratulatory Gifts
"Hey! Wake up! Du Heng leaned over and poked the girl's shoulder, "Who are you?" Why was he caught too? ”
The girl opened her eyes in a daze, looked at Du Heng's face, and wondered, "Who are you?" Why was he caught too? ”
Du Heng smiled bitterly: "Why are you repeating my words?" Silly? ”
"You're stupid!" The girl's apricot eyes widened, "Where did you come from?" What is it called? ”
Du Heng thought of calling himself Mu Heng when he was in the Meng family before, so he said nonsense: "The one who came from the back mountain is called Amu." What about you? ”
"Me?" The girl looked at the white silk and gold silk robe on Du Heng's body with disdain, "My name is Ah Qi." ”
"How did you get caught?" Du Heng asked.
"I walked up the hill and was caught."
"Are you a swagger?"
"yes, what's wrong? Can't the people of Swagger Mountain come out for a walk? ”
Du Heng was full of suspicions.
Out for a walk? Will the people of Swagger Mountain not know that there are bandits outside their barrier? This little girl ran to this wilderness alone, and she didn't seem to be very scared when she was caught by the bandits, and she still slept here, and she couldn't do it without heart?
"What about you? Why were you caught? Ah Chi glanced at Du Heng's torn hair crown, "Oh, I know, you must be too well dressed and targeted by thieves!" You see, if you want to keep the peace, you still have to dress like me so as not to attract attention. ”
Ah Qi dusted off the coarse linen clothes on his body, as if he was very ostentatious.
"Then why are you still sitting here?" Du Heng said with a smile.
"I ......"
Ah Chi was speechless and covered up: "That's because I'm too beautiful, it's not my fault." ”
Du Heng snorted and laughed, this girl is quite confident.
"What? Am I not right? Ah Chi's face was pale, and his cheeks were crimson.
"Yes, yes, yes! Miss Ah Chi is so beautiful! A good-looking girl like you, I'm afraid it's rare to see the whole Zhaoyao Mountain, right? ”
Ah Chi raised his eyebrows and said, "That's it." ”
Du Heng saw that his sycophants were smooth, so he leaned over to Ah Chi's side again, and whispered: "I heard that you are swaggering and belong to the family surnamed Yun?" ”
"yes, what?"
"I heard that there are three princesses in the Yun family, what do they all look like? Is it good-looking? ”
Ah Chi suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you asking this?" ”
Du Heng leaned against the wall with a big grin, put his two hands on the back of his head, and said: "My mother asked me to come to Zhaoyao Mountain this time, just to let me find a daughter-in-law to go home, and said that I must find a beautiful and sensible one." My mother said that I was a good boy, and only a good girl could be worthy of me. I just thought, the best girl in Zhaoyao Mountain, that must be the princess of the Yun family, so I wanted to inquire. ”
Du Heng smirked, and his saliva was about to flow down.
Ah Qi snorted coldly and said, "Where did you come from, you actually want to beat the abacus of our Yun family princess?" What a toad wants to eat swan meat! ”
"Hey, hey......" Du Heng rubbed his hands, his expression suddenly became mysterious, "I heard my mother say that the eldest princess of your Yun family was divorced by someone outside!" A woman who has been divorced, how can anyone want it? But I don't dislike it, if the Yun family agrees, I can accept it! ”
Du Heng looked at Ah Chi with a smile, but he didn't expect Ah Chi to fly up and kick him in the chest. Du Heng pretended to be in pain and lay down on the ground.
"Ouch, what are you kicking me for?"
Ah Qi stood up suddenly, pinched his waist with both hands, and scolded with a flushed face: "You don't pee according to your own virtues, but you are afraid to think about the princess of our Yun family!" They don't know what to do, they are all brutes! In a small place where the Du family's fart is bigger, we are the mountain people of Zhaoyao Mountain, even one person can drown the Du family with a wolf's heart and dog's lungs with a mouthful of spit! ”
Du Heng didn't expect Ah Qi to have such a big reaction, and continued to probe: "But, I heard my mother say that the family seems to be quite powerful......
"What a fart! It's all rice buckets! All blind! They're all monsters with fat brains! ”
Ah Chi was angry, and grabbing Du Heng was a punch and kick.
"Stop fighting! Stop it! I'm not the Nadu family, and you're not the Nayun family, what's the matter with you getting angry with me here? Du Heng hugged his head and screamed.
"Humph! I'm just sorry for our princess! Ah Qi finally stopped, clasped his hands on his shoulders, and stood aside angrily, "Our princess is beautiful and kind, fortunately I didn't marry him, otherwise it would be flowers stuck in cow dung!" ”
Du Heng crawled to the corner stupidly, glancing at Ah Qi with innocent little eyes, and his mind spun rapidly.
I didn't expect the people of Zhaoyao Mountain to have such a big reaction to this matter, it seems that they really can't reveal their identities, otherwise it will be all trouble. This Ah Chi is so nervous about this matter, maybe he has something to do with the Yun family, but he still has to follow this little girl.
The two of them sat in a corner for a long time. It was getting dark, and from time to time there was a wolf howl or two in the mountains and forests. Without the sun, the air is getting colder.
Du Heng yawned and was about to fall asleep, when there was a sudden commotion outside.
"Hurry up, stuff these two in, don't delay the birthday of the big boss!"
Du Heng raised his head and saw several thieves holding torches and carrying two large square wooden cages at the door of the cell. The railing of the wooden cage is the thickness of a small arm, and the inside is black and yellow, stinking, and I don't know what it has ever been closed.
The two rough thieves entered the prison, grabbed Du Heng and Ah Chi's arms and dragged them out.
"Oops! What do you do? What are you doing?! Du Heng opened his teeth and claws.
"Be honest!" The thief kicked Du Heng, "If you are not honest, you will chop off your hands and feet!" ”
Du Heng kept his mouth shut, and he found that although Ah Chi was also rudely dragged around, he was silent and very obedient.
Could it be that she really wants to go? Oh my God, doesn't she really want to have a night out with the big boss of this gang of bandits?
The two men were put in cages and carried by several thieves to the mountains in turn. The whole village was full of people, and only a few people were left to watch the house. Dozens of torches lined up in a long line shuttled through the mountains, like a fire dragon.
Du Heng was tossed and turned in the cage, he pretended to be extremely uncomfortable, and wailed: "Big brother is good, can you let me go by myself?" I swear, I'm definitely not going to run around, I'm going to follow you wholeheartedly, okay? ”
The thief carrying the cage was expressionless, and no one paid attention to Du Heng. Ah Chi sat cross-legged in the cage, breathing calmly.
Du Heng scratched his chin, it seems that this Ah Chi is a practitioner, not an ordinary mortal, could it be that he was deliberately caught by this group of stupid thieves and wanted them to take her to that big boss?
"Hey, Miss Achi, aren't you uncomfortable being carried like this?" Du Heng held on to the railing with both hands.
Ah Chi remained silent, not even raising his eyelids.
Du Heng was bored, and said: "Miss Achi, you are so good-looking, do you have a mother-in-law?" ”
Ah Qi still didn't react, but the base of his ears was slightly red.
Du Heng saw the slight change, and then teased: "Then there should be nothing?" My mother said, let me find a good-looking and sensible girl, the princess of the Yun family can't see or touch, why don't you go home for me to be my wife. I'm not young anymore, and my family is still pointing to me for inheritance, so it's not good to always pick fat and thin, right, I ......"
Before Du Heng could finish speaking, he saw Ah Qi pinching two fingers and slashing them in the void, and he suddenly felt as if his mouth was glued by something, and he couldn't open it. Ah Chi smiled with satisfaction and went back to his mind.
Du Heng touched the sealed mouth and found that it was just an ordinary sealing spell, and it was very easy to crack it. But he was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he pretended to be anxious and pinched his face and broke his mouth, and finally he was helpless and threw himself down. The surrounding bandits were full of woodenness, and they didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
The thieves carried two wooden cages for about half an hour, and in the distance, a few fires shone from the end of the forest. When I walked out of the forest, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear. But I saw a village that was several times larger than the Tiger Village built in the middle of the mountain depression, the gate of the village was tall, and there was a plaque hanging on the door, which said "split the cottage" three words, and the people inside were boiling.
Du Heng and Ah Qi were carried into the stockade and came to a huge wooden house. There were several groups of people standing beside him, all of whom seemed to have come from other villages, and there was something in front of each group.
"The lottery has arrived!" A bandit standing by the hut shouted.
There was a sudden commotion in the house, and then a swarthy figure rushed out of the room. Du Heng squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and found that it was actually a dwarf-like villain. The little man was holding a wine jar in his hand, bald and round, and he couldn't tell whether he was holding the wine jar in his hand and carrying his head on his shoulder, or holding his head in his hand and carrying the wine jar on his shoulder.
"Big boss, I got a lot of good things in Zhaoyao Mountain this year, you look at this, the best pearl jade and all kinds of gemstones! Such a beautiful thing should be matched with such a chic person as you, who is in charge! "A thief opened a large box of rosewood, and the inside was dazzling with jewels.
Du Heng couldn't believe his eyes, what kind of vision did these thieves have, they actually thought that such a short man was the leader, and his brain was gnawed by pigs?
The big boss snorted coldly and said, "You guys use these things to fool me every year, can't you have some new ideas?" I taught you the art of retreat, so that you could bring me these things? ”
The big boss kicked the box in disgust and walked towards the next group.
"Escape? What kind of retreat? Du Heng muttered quietly, just enough for Ah Chi to hear.
"Hmph, we have an enchantment in Zhaoyao Mountain, and if the mountain people are violated, then the enchantment will beat those bad people out. But this gang of thieves somehow will escape, and before the enchantment has time to react, they all run away, which is really cunning! Ah Chi gritted her teeth with hatred, as if the box of treasures was full of her things.
"Big boss, you see what we have prepared for you, these are good tonics, you can not only prolong your life after taking them, but also make you ......" The thief opened a small box, his eyebrows danced, and his eyes glanced straight at Du Heng, "Tiger and tiger!" ”
The big boss's eyes lit up and said, "Oh? It's true? It's kind of interesting, it's kind of interesting! As he spoke, he patted the bandit's, and then went on.
The thief guarding the cage bowed respectfully to the big boss, pointed to the two cages with one hand, and said, "Big boss, look at this goods, are you still satisfied?" ”
The big boss paced square steps, circled around the cage twice, and said with satisfaction: "Well, you still have eyesight." Yes, yes, carry it into the house! ”
When Du Heng heard this, he panicked and said, "In the house? What's in the house? Who's in the house? What are you carrying into the house for? ”
The big boss put his hand full of lard into the cage, pinched Du Heng's face, and said with a cruel smile: "Hehe, you'll know in a while!" ”
Du Heng's face turned green, and he desperately rubbed the oil on his face. Ah Chi in the other cage didn't seem to react, and even a subtle smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
