Chapter 212: Qingfeng Village
But from the gate, Feng Qingyan thought that this was a small village, but when he walked inside, he found that there was no cave.
I saw the wooden houses inside, staggered, at a glance, there was no end, there were men and women coming and going on the road, and children were laughing and playing, and from time to time there was the sound of chickens and dogs barking, a peaceful and peaceful.
Where is this cottage? It's a big village at all!
Seeing the scene in front of them, Feng Qingyan and Lin Yunshu were stunned.
"Welcome to Qingfeng Village!" The King of the Mountain said proudly, "You will be the mistress of this place from now on, and everyone here is your slave and must listen to you." ”
The king of the mountain is surnamed Luo, called Luo Heng, the grass has been Kou for many years, this cottage was not built by him, it already existed before he joined the gang, it was later that the original owner of the village was chased and killed by the enemy, died under the knife, and he took over the position of the owner of the village.
After taking the throne, he expanded the cottage, led a group of brothers to burn and loot everywhere, did a lot of evil things, and made a hundred miles of trouble to live in peace, and there were people who went to the government to ask the government to suppress bandits, but unfortunately the county officials in this area were greedy for money, and Luo Heng only used five thousand taels of silver a year to gag him.
So the people have no way to sue, can only live in panic, the county officials do not report, the court no one knows that there is a lot of evil in Qingfeng Village, naturally will not send people to manage, this place has become the world of Qingfeng Village, the people here have to pay money and food to Qingfeng Village on time every month, if someone dares not to pay, the bandits of the cottage will give him a violent warning, and even directly beat people to death.
The people are really being oppressed and miserable.
Feng Qingfang didn't pay attention to Luo Heng, just smiled and silently observed the people and things around him.
"Let's get married tonight, shall we? I can't wait. Luo Heng said with a lewd smile, deliberately leaning towards Lin Yunshu's side.
Lin Yunshu hurriedly dodged, her little face turned pale with fright.
"My lord, if you go to the church tonight, it's a bit hasty, right? No matter how you say it, it is also a lifelong event related to marriage, you should pay attention to it, there should be a process, and even the red silk luo tent is not ready tonight, let alone the wedding dress and jewelry, it is too perfunctory. Feng Qingfang made all kinds of excuses, but at the same time, it was very reasonable, which made it difficult to refute.
One of his subordinates said angrily: "You girl just has a lot of things, our eldest brother is willing to bother to do a marriage for you, which has already given you enough face, and he dares to ask for the east and the west, believe it or not, he will do it directly with you?" ”
Feng Qing glanced at him fiercely, and then smiled softly at Luo Heng, and said coquettishly: "King, I don't mean to embarrass you, it's just that there is only one time in life to marry such a big thing, who doesn't want to be proper?" ”
"Although I can accept everything to be simple, but it can't be too simple, getting married should be a happy thing, how can I wronged myself?"
Hearing her say this, Luo Heng felt quite reasonable, and immediately eased his expression, and reprimanded his subordinates: "Just do what the beauty says, where is so much nonsense?" Before going up the mountain, I said that being disrespectful to them is disrespecting me, are you not even paying attention to me? ”
The subordinates hurriedly knelt down and admitted their mistakes: "The little brother doesn't dare, the big brother is angry!" ”
Luo Heng glanced at him with lowered eyes, and said coldly: "If you know that you are wrong, hurry up and prepare for the marriage, don't let me down again!" ”
"The little brother is leaving." The subordinate secretly poked Feng lightly and walked away angrily.
"How? You should be happy now, right? Luo Heng turned his head to look at Feng Qingfang, still with a squinting appearance, which made people want to pounce on him and beat him up.
Feng Qing took a few steps back and smiled: "Of course, the king is really good to me!" ”
"If you know my goodness......"
"After walking such a long way, my sister and I are very tired, King, can you let us go and rest first?" Feng asked in a pleading tone.
It's really not that she likes to please this guy, but that people have to bow their heads on the chopping board, so as not to be sad, they can only provide for each other first.
Luo Heng saw that the beauties were begging, so he naturally had no reason not to agree, so he immediately called someone and led her and Lin Yunshu to the guest room.
After arriving at the room, she sat down and calmed down for a while, and then Lin Yunshu gradually came to her senses.
"This Qingfeng Village is so big, and there are people guarding it everywhere, how can we escape?"
Feng Qingfang thought to herself, if she was the only one, she would still be very sure to run out, but unfortunately she had to run with Lin Yunshu, so there was no possibility of success at all.
So, if you want to get out, you have to find another way.
"To be honest, we can't get out."
Lin Yunshu exclaimed: "Huh? Can't even you do it? Aren't we dead? ”
She saw that Feng Qingfang was calm as usual along the way, and thought that she was very sure, so she didn't panic too much, but she didn't expect to hear her say that there was no way now, and she lost hope in an instant.
"Not necessarily."
Feng opened the burden frantically, took out a few small porcelain bottles, and gradually hooked the corners of her lips, she was really more and more glad that she had studied the poison, although these strange drugs on her body were not omnipotent, but they could always play a role at critical moments.
Lin Yunshu rekindled her hope again, looked at Feng Qing with expectant eyes and asked, "Cousin, has you thought of a way?" ”
"Just look at it." Feng Qingfang put the medicine bottle into the pocket of his waist, and smiled a little mysteriously, "Anyway, don't worry, since I brought you out, I will protect you no matter what." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yunshu's eyes darkened, lowered her head and said: "Cousin, don't say that, I am the one who has caused you this time, if I hadn't called that, we wouldn't have been discovered, if there is a chance to escape, you should go first by yourself, don't take care of me." ”
Feng shook his head helplessly: "Look at what you said, am I such an unrighteous person?" ”
"But ......"
"It's impossible for me to leave you alone," Feng Qing interrupted Lin Yunshu's words and comforted the other party with a smile, "Trust me, both of us will get out of danger." ”
Lin Yunshu was infected by the firmness in her eyes, and immediately added a lot of confidence.
However, as soon as his heart was put down, he heard Feng say lightly: "However, you still have to be mentally prepared, we may have to stay here for a while." ”
"Huh? Stay? ”
Feng turned his head to look out the window, looking at the villagers who were working outside, and had a plan in his heart.
Although Qingfeng Village looked peaceful and peaceful, and seemed to be a happy land, Feng quickly noticed that something was wrong when he came in - everyone saw Luo Heng and his men returning, their faces were painted with fear, and then they froze in place and did not dare to move.
This fear comes from the depths of the heart, especially the woman in it, the fear is also mixed with bitter hatred, although it is not obvious, it still can't escape Feng Qing's crazy eyes.
Therefore, she guessed, these people were taken captive to the mountain, and they should have been ordinary people under the mountain.
If she had the ability, she wanted to save them from suffering and help them go back to their families.
Feng asked himself if he was not a good person, but he still had a basic sense of justice, and some things were worth taking a risk even if he knew that they were full of danger.
That night, because she was too worried, although she was exhausted, Lin Yunshu still didn't sleep much, but Feng fell asleep in bed lightly, slept until dawn, and woke up the next day in good spirits.
Not long after waking up, there was a knock on the door outside.
Lin Yunshu jumped up like a frightened bird, staring at the door vigilantly, Feng glanced at her lightly, and asked loudly, "Who is it?" ”
An answer came from outside: "The concubine is Yunxiang, and on the order of the owner of the village, I came to send breakfast to the two girls." ”
Concubines?
Feng Qingfang was slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Yunshu, thinking to himself, could it be Luo Heng's concubine?
"Come in!"
Soon, the door was pushed open, and a young woman in a lake-green dress walked in with a food box.
As she brought out the food inside, she said, "I don't know the bitterness of the two girls, so I will bring some of the food prepared in the kitchen, and eat it while it is hot." ”
Feng looked up wildly, and the first thing he saw was the wounds on the other party's face.
The corners of the mouth, cheeks, chin, and eyes are all blue and purple, and almost none of them are good, and it hurts to look at them.
"This sister, what's the matter with your face full of injuries?" Lin Yunshu asked with pity on her face.
Yun Xiang shook her head, but did not answer.
Feng said suddenly: "I guess, he was beaten by your village master Luo Heng, right?" ”
"Huh? What did he hit her for? Although Lin Yunshu is smart, her mind is pure in the end, and she is completely confused when she hears Feng Qingyi say this.
"This ......" Feng Qingfang organized the language for a long time, and finally decided not to explain, "Anyway, that person has something wrong, it's ......"
Yun Xiang heard her talk about Luo Heng like this, and immediately looked anxious, turned her head to look outside, and saw that no one was listening to the corner of the wall, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Saying bad things about the owner of the village is to be punished, and it is better for the girl to pay attention to what she says in the future, so as not to cause trouble for herself." ”
Feng Qing saw that she was so nervous, she must have been scared, and she couldn't help but sympathize with her, so she showed a kind smile and said, "I know, thank you for reminding, by the way, how long have you been here?" ”
"More than half a year." Yun Xiang replied coldly, a touch of sadness in her eyes.
"Like us, they were forcibly taken up the mountain?" Feng asked again.
Yun Xiang's eyes turned red, she shook her head, and replied in a dumb voice: "No, I volunteered to go up the mountain to serve the owner of the village." ”
"What? Voluntarily? Lin Yunshu was taken aback, her face was full of disbelief, how could a good young daughter's family, in the prime of her youth, voluntarily come to serve a vulgar and old mountain king?
